00:02:09.000 Angelo Cotavia may he rest in peace.
00:02:12.000 He was so special.
00:02:13.000 You know, I spent a whole week at the Claremont Institute.
00:02:15.000 As a Lincoln fellow, I love the Claremont Institute.
00:02:17.000 They're terrific.
00:02:18.000 They have a great website called THE American MIND.
00:02:20.000 We have their guests on all the time.
00:02:21.000 Angelo Cotavia wrote the book literally called the Ruling Class.
00:02:25.000 He was also probably one of the wisest foreign policy experts ever, and for those of you listening that want to get a really good understanding of how we should approach American foreign policy.
00:02:36.000 Angelo Cotavia was one of the most prudent, one of the most fair and Pro-American thinkers and challenged the CIA and the security apparatus.
00:02:46.000 Unfortunately, he died tragically.
00:02:48.000 I was supposed to spend time with him.
00:02:50.000 Actually he was unable to make it because he got covet and he died of something else.
00:02:53.000 It was awful, but he had this.
00:02:55.000 The reason I bring up Angelo Cotavia and Michael Anton, who's with Hillsdale College.
00:02:59.000 That's a great, actual reminder that I have to tell you about Hillsdale, the wonderful Hillsdale College Beacon OF THE North.
00:03:04.000 Michael Anton, who is not doesn't necessarily agree with everything that Angelo Cotavia says, but is in some ways disciple.
00:03:12.000 I I don't want to speak for him, but he he would say this better than I could which is, you should not get involved in foreign conflicts if you have extensive domestic problems at home.
00:03:28.000 What are you doing, saber rattling across the world trying to resolve border disputes when our when our own border is wide open, we have inflation, the country is politically divided and you have a regime that is wildly unpopular.
00:03:44.000 Well, that is exactly what the security apparatus is doing, Partly to distract away from the failed regime of Biden, but also to try and feed the fire of the military-industrial complex.
00:04:03.000 Because, look, if you're the military-industrial complex, you're looking at Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Johnson, and Johnson, Lockheed Martin, Northrop, Grumman, and Bowie, and they say, Hey, come on, cut us in for some of this.
00:04:13.000 We got no wars going on right now.
00:04:17.000 Front page of the New York Times on Ukrainian front, warily awaiting the worst.
00:04:24.000 After eight years of war, grim anticipation of Russian invasion.
00:04:29.000 So now we are being fed a nonstop line that we should care about the Russian-Ukrainian border dispute.
00:04:37.000 Now, let me be very clear.
00:04:38.000 I'm no fan of Putin.
00:04:40.000 He's a thug.
00:04:41.000 I'm not a fan of the Russian Federation.
00:04:44.000 I believe that they are an enemy of the United States.
00:04:47.000 And I say enemy somewhat reluctantly because, yeah, they attack us and all this, but they're nowhere even close to the comparable size or scope of what China could do to us.
00:04:57.000 Should Russia be an enemy?
00:04:58.000 I think Russia could be a potential momentary partner against China.
00:05:02.000 That would make sense.
00:05:02.000 That'd be prudent.
00:05:03.000 That'd be a non-ideological way to actually crush the Chinese Communist Party.
00:05:10.000 Have you ever won a world war without the help of Russia?
00:05:13.000 That's a good question.
00:05:15.000 That would be prudent.
00:05:16.000 No, no, no.
00:05:16.000 But instead, we have to be fed a non-stop propaganda line by the U.S. intelligence agencies that Russia is our largest threat.
00:05:25.000 And let's just be very clear.
00:05:27.000 Ukraine is an incredibly corrupt country.
00:05:30.000 So Russia trying to invade Ukraine.
00:05:32.000 You know, we have this non-stop parade of neocons on television saying, like, well, we have to, we have to hold the line.
00:05:41.000 We can't let this happen.
00:05:43.000 Why?
00:05:46.000 Why does the Russian-Ukrainian border dispute, what does it have to do with us?
00:05:50.000 Let's just, let's just talk about, and this is not whataboutism, by the way.
00:05:54.000 Someone said, oh, Charlie, you talked about the southern border.
00:05:57.000 And while we're talking about the Ukrainian border, it's whataboutism.
00:06:00.000 Hold on a second.
00:06:01.000 The question is this.
00:06:02.000 It's about priorities.
00:06:04.000 We are a people.
00:06:04.000 We are a species with limited time, limited energy, and limited resources.
00:06:08.000 We all agree that limited time, limited energy, limited resources.
00:06:13.000 Therefore, you must create a hierarchy of needs, wants, and demands of your time, your energy, and your resources.
00:06:18.000 Therefore, when you create a hierarchy of your times, your time, your demand, and your resources, you must then create a plan or a, let's say, an agenda where you say this matters more than that.
00:06:35.000 Why don't we have U.S. troops on the southern border?
00:06:38.000 Why do we not have U.S. Marines on the southern border, Texas Border Patrol, a new Texas National Guard, I should say?
00:06:45.000 No, it's because the American ruling class, including establishment Republicans, by the way, they are perfectly fine with an open southern border with America, but they want to make sure that the border with Ukraine and Russia is strictly controlled.
00:07:04.000 Why don't we have satellite imagery of the southern border?
00:07:09.000 Why is the New York Times not covering the fact?
00:07:11.000 How many getaways have there been so far this year?
00:07:13.000 Over a million, right?
00:07:14.000 A million criminals that have come into our country.
00:07:17.000 1 million people, 1.7, I'm sorry.
00:07:20.000 1.7 million criminals that have waltzed into our country.
00:07:24.000 Yet we have to be propagandized that the biggest concern to our republic is some sort of ancestral blood dispute over Russian-Ukrainian borders.
00:07:37.000 I don't care.
00:07:38.000 Fight it out.
00:07:40.000 People say, well, Charlie, Ukraine's a democracy.
00:07:42.000 Like, yeah, stop fooling yourself.
00:07:44.000 Okay.
00:07:45.000 Is Russia less is Russia more corrupt than Ukraine?
00:07:48.000 Yeah, probably.
00:07:50.000 If all of a sudden you think America's role with our time, our energy, and our resources needs to go police the border policy of another country while our own border policy is a laughingstock.
00:08:03.000 Who are you actually representing, by the way?
00:08:06.000 Let's play some sound.
00:08:07.000 Let's go to Cut 31.
00:08:09.000 Let's do that.
00:08:10.000 Let's play Cut 31.
00:08:12.000 I wrote him a long memorandum just before Milocevich capitulated.
00:08:18.000 And he was down in Florida.
00:08:21.000 And I said, Mr. President, your legacy will be determined more by how this conflict turns out than anything else.
00:08:33.000 So what you were listening to there was then Senator Joe Biden advising Bill Clinton to try and turn around the Monica Lewinsky scandal for getting involved in the Balkan controversy.
00:08:45.000 That's what that was, right, Connor?
00:08:46.000 That was Joe Biden saying, you got to go get involved in Kosovo, in the Serbian, Albanian, Croatian, Bosnian conflict.
00:08:54.000 Post-Tito dying, Yugoslavia broke into different pieces.
00:08:59.000 If you ever hear the term Balkanization, that's where that term comes from.
00:09:04.000 Tucker Carlson had some sharp words around this.
00:09:07.000 Play cut 36.
00:09:08.000 So let's say you're president of the United States and you wake up one morning, look at your poll numbers and find yourself somewhat less popular than Chlamydia.
00:09:15.000 What do you do?
00:09:17.000 We've already lost control of the border and of the economy of the society itself.
00:09:21.000 So maybe you would start a war with Russia.
00:09:24.000 Totally possible.
00:09:25.000 Desperate politicians do desperate things.
00:09:28.000 And that's what Joe Biden is doing.
00:09:29.000 And the U.S. security apparatus is more than happy to go repeat the drums of war against Russia.
00:09:35.000 And Putin, of course, is laughing about this.
00:09:37.000 He knows that we are so fractured at home, we do not have the willingness to go fight Russia.
00:09:42.000 And this whole thing about, well, Charlie, let's just go send troops.
00:09:45.000 You know, no, enough of that.
00:09:47.000 Russia is not an existential threat to my kids and grandkids' existence.
00:09:51.000 I don't stay up late at night being, well, yeah, you know, one day my children could be speaking Russian.
00:09:56.000 Like, that doesn't bother me.
00:09:58.000 I mean, that's not going to happen.
00:10:00.000 Vladimir Putin has a lot of square miles to try to take over before he ever becomes a threat to the United States.
00:10:06.000 And it's just not going to happen.
00:10:07.000 You know what does bother me and keep me up at night?
00:10:09.000 Two things, the left and China.
00:10:11.000 I'm afraid my kids and grandkids are going to be learning that men can become pregnant.
00:10:15.000 And I'm afraid my kids and grandkids are going to learn Mandarin over English.
00:10:19.000 Those are the two things that bother me and worry me.
00:10:21.000 Not that Vladimir Putin might go reclaim some hill that he thinks has some sort of significance because 10 generations ago, native Russians thinks it's theirs.
00:10:30.000 Who cares?
00:10:31.000 Go fight it out.
00:10:32.000 I care about our borders.
00:10:34.000 I care about our sovereignty.
00:10:35.000 Do not fall for the trap, everybody, by your politicians all of a sudden doing smokescreen like, ooh, this is because of Biden's weakness that Putin is going into this.
00:10:44.000 And I will get, I think there is some truth to that to an extent.
00:10:49.000 We have a national crisis happening here at home.
00:10:52.000 It's called a 1.7 million person invasion of the southern border.
00:10:56.000 Put our citizens first.
00:11:00.000 I want to tell you guys about Good Ranchers, okay?
00:11:03.000 You've heard me talk about it a lot.
00:11:04.000 Look, Good Ranchers, they achieve the trifecta.
00:11:07.000 The trifecta is very simple.
00:11:09.000 One, everyone has to eat.
00:11:11.000 Two, you love the country.
00:11:12.000 Three, you want to support the Charlie Kirk show.
00:11:14.000 So good ranchers, they send you boxes of meat.
00:11:17.000 When we get a box of meat from good ranchers, it's bedlam.
00:11:20.000 People fight over the meat.
00:11:24.000 It is the closest thing to Christmas morning I've ever seen with adults.
00:11:28.000 And Good Ranchers has a limited time offer for all our listeners.
00:11:31.000 10 free bistro fillets when you enter promo code Charlie at checkout.

00:11:42.000 I want you to imagine over 100,000 Americans losing their jobs.
00:11:45.000 So you could stop imagining because it's a reality.
00:11:47.000 Since 2015, over 100,000 independent farms and ranches in the United States have shut down.
00:11:53.000 Why?
00:11:53.000 Because foreign meat is stealing their business and robbing you the quality and flavor you deserve.
00:11:57.000 That's why Good Ranchers is here.
00:11:59.000 They exist as part local American farms to help you make great American meals.
00:12:03.000 Together, they want to restore the American ranch and your meals to their former glory.
00:12:07.000 Get the beef, chicken, and seafood that can't be imported or matched at goodranchers.com.
00:12:12.000 Did you know the product made in the USA has been stolen by foreign countries or product of the USA?
00:12:17.000 They process their meat here and then they fraudulently label it as if it came here from America.
00:12:22.000 Good Ranchers is here to put America first at the dinner table and the farmers that work to raise the meat we eat.
00:12:27.000 So do me a favor, get a box of Good Ranchers.

00:13:11.000 Let's play some sound here.
00:13:12.000 There's a military buildup.
00:13:14.000 You're supposed to care about this, right?
00:13:15.000 You're supposed to be so worried that all of a sudden, you know what's going to happen?
00:13:20.000 Russian battleships will be coming for Manhattan soon.
00:13:27.000 Be afraid.
00:13:27.000 Be very afraid.
00:13:29.000 Meanwhile, there's a 1.7 million person criminal invasion occurring on the southern border.
00:13:35.000 Play Cut 44.
00:13:36.000 High stakes call between President Biden and Vladimir Putin in the next 24 hours.
00:13:41.000 Tonight, the Biden administration now warning Russia that if it does invade Ukraine, the U.S. will help neighboring countries.
00:13:48.000 And tonight, the images, those satellite images showing tens of thousands of Russian troops amassing your Ukraine's border.
00:13:55.000 Tens of thousands of Russian troops.
00:13:58.000 I wonder if what would happen if we had tens of thousands of troops on our southern border.
00:14:02.000 We could prevent the 1.7 million criminal invasion into our country of people that just waltz right in, no paperwork, nothing.
00:14:10.000 Now, it's really interesting because why is it that Ukraine continually pops up in every possible drama?
00:14:17.000 Impeachment, Hunter Biden.
00:14:19.000 Well, because Ukraine is so close to Russia and because they have these disputes, the United States security apparatus and military apparatus and political ruling class uses Ukraine as a pseudo-piggy bank on both sides, by the way.
00:14:34.000 Paul Manafort was doing it and Hunter Biden was doing it.
00:14:37.000 Both Republicans and Democrats have ties to Ukrainian gas companies because it's such a corrupt country and it's near Russia.
00:14:44.000 It's justified to send a lot of American foreign taxpayer money there.
00:14:49.000 And then through repatriation, American politicians go on diplomatic trips to Kiev with their kids and their nieces and their nephews and their spouses.
00:14:58.000 And then magically, who knows how this happened, all of a sudden their kids become board members of those Ukrainian companies.
00:15:07.000 For example, Burisma.
00:15:08.000 We all know that.
00:15:08.000 And the fact, you know, we don't have an actually covers this stuff, but Burisma, of course, was the most famous.
00:15:18.000 Where, remember, Trump was impeached over a phone call, a phone call, where he asked the president of Ukraine to investigate Biden as vice president.
00:15:28.000 Remember, he said, we're going to get that prosecutor fired.
00:15:31.000 Do you remember that?
00:15:31.000 He withheld foreign aid.
00:15:32.000 All of that is tied right now to the fake saber rattling that is happening between the Russian and Ukrainian border.
00:15:41.000 You see, the people that make money monthly off of the Ukrainian regime, such as the Biden family, where Hunter Biden made $83,000 a month sitting on barisma.
00:15:59.000 So, of course, it's in the best interest of the Biden family to try and keep the conflict going.
00:16:06.000 Give them weapons.
00:16:08.000 Give them machinery.
00:16:11.000 I know a lot of native Ukrainians that are emailing us, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:16:15.000 Charlie, you don't understand.
00:16:16.000 Russia is really bad.
00:16:17.000 Like, I'm not saying that Russia is good.
00:16:19.000 That's not the point.
00:16:20.000 But if you're an American now, don't ask me to go fight your battle for you, okay?
00:16:24.000 We got our own problems.
00:16:26.000 Enough of the, like, we have to come in and we got to solve everyone else's.
00:16:29.000 That might have been a wonderful thing in the 1990s when we had a balanced budget and a secure southern border and our children loved the country and everyone said the Pledge of Allegiance and we didn't go rename schools that were called Abraham Lincoln.
00:16:44.000 Must have been a wonderful thing to be able to solve all the world's problems in the Balkan Peninsula.
00:16:48.000 Not anymore.
00:16:50.000 No, no, no.
00:16:50.000 You see, there's a thing called triage.
00:16:54.000 When you go bring a patient into the hospital, and all of a sudden there's one that has a gunshot wound versus someone that has a paper cut, you're going to treat the gunshot wound first.
00:17:05.000 You have to triage when you have limited time, energy, and resources.
00:17:09.000 The three things that matter.
00:17:11.000 But instead, we are seeing the collective bipartisan drums of war.
00:17:17.000 This is a major deal.
00:17:18.000 We have to care about this.
00:17:20.000 And each side has their own take, right?
00:17:22.000 The Democrats say we have to care about this and Putin got strong because of Trump.
00:17:26.000 And Republicans are saying this is all because of Joe Biden because he didn't stand up against them.
00:17:31.000 Both are wrong, by the way.
00:17:32.000 They're both wrong.
00:17:36.000 If there was one that was more right, like, yeah, of course, Joe Biden is weak.
00:17:38.000 He gives money to the Taliban.
00:17:39.000 He doesn't stand up to anyone.
00:17:40.000 Who cares?
00:17:43.000 We have multiple catastrophes happening domestically.
00:17:50.000 We cannot solve the most basic consent.
00:17:54.000 We cannot decide whether or not our flag is a symbol of hatred and white supremacy or something worth preserving.
00:18:02.000 Maybe we should resolve that one before we go and send a bunch of missiles and troops to the Ukrainian-Russian border.
00:18:08.000 Like, let's just figure out first whether or not we like Thomas Jefferson or not.
00:18:12.000 Basic issues.
00:18:16.000 Hello.
00:18:16.000 No matter what the government says, the holidays are coming, and I hope you'll be spending it with friends and family.
00:18:21.000 It's never too late to start gift shopping for the holidays, especially because today you could save big on a gift they'll use every day, Raycon wireless earbuds.
00:18:29.000 Producer Andrew is a big Raycon fan.
00:18:32.000 In fact, he's an advocate.
00:18:33.000 Some would say a defender of Raycons.
00:18:36.000 My Raycons have traveled with me all around the world, but nothing compared to producer Andrews.
00:18:40.000 When he travels the country, he goes to Europe.
00:18:42.000 He's always sending me pictures of himselfies with his Raycons.
00:18:46.000 With seamless Bluetooth pairing and a comfortable noise isolating fit, you could start listening right away.
00:18:51.000 The audio quality is amazing.
00:18:52.000 Just ask Andrew the next time you see him, maybe at AmericaFest, look him in the eyes and say, how great is Raycon?
00:18:58.000 He might actually have his Raycon earbuds in.
00:19:00.000 Raycon offers eight hours of playtime and 32-hour battery life.
00:19:04.000 So this holiday season, get them something they can use for calls or for music, for work or for play, on the home or on the go.
00:19:10.000 Or pick up a pair for yourself.
00:19:12.000 Don't trust me.
00:19:13.000 Trust Andrew.
00:19:14.000 And you can ask him about how great Raycon earbuds are.
00:19:18.000 So go to buyraycon.com slash Kirk.

00:19:36.000 Go to buyraycon.com slash Kirk.
00:19:40.000 I'm trying to tell people that, yeah, maybe we shouldn't go to war with Russia.
00:19:44.000 While we can't even decide whether or not our flag is a symbol we should embrace, we're kicking down doors of journalists we don't like.
00:19:53.000 Our southern border has 1.7 million people coming across.
00:19:57.000 We got an email from Border Patrol.
00:19:59.000 I'm a U.S. Border Patrol agent working in Yuma, Arizona.
00:20:02.000 My colleagues and I are demoralized with the situation.
00:20:07.000 Today, our upper leadership has told us to basically ignore the illegal aliens crossing into the border, across the border, because our station is maxed out to the limit.
00:20:17.000 There are an estimated 1,500 people waiting to be transported to our station, but we're not allowed to transport them.
00:20:23.000 I spoke to some illegals today and told them to go into the town to get food and water.
00:20:27.000 Illegals are all over the river here in Yuma.
00:20:31.000 That is a confidential email we got from a border patrol agent in Yuma, Arizona.
00:20:37.000 So we have a wide open border.
00:20:41.000 We have a maxed out border patrol.
00:20:44.000 But what does Senator Chris Murphy want us to worry about?
00:20:46.000 He is basically the woke neocon, okay?
00:20:49.000 Senator Chris Murphy is the mascot.
00:20:51.000 He's been designated.
00:20:52.000 He has been christened.
00:20:54.000 He has been go forth and conquer.
00:20:56.000 And Chris Murphy lays awake at night, him and Lindsey Graham, plotting and planning about how they can expand the great American empire to places never before seen.
00:21:09.000 They dream of a ground invasion of Singapore, Venezuela, Iran, and Russia all at once.
00:21:18.000 Play cut 46.
00:21:19.000 Well, right now, we have an amendment on the floor of the Senate that would dramatically increase the amount of lethal aid.
00:21:26.000 I support it.
00:21:27.000 Republicans right now in the Senate are blocking that amendment from being considered.
00:21:32.000 We've got to get our Republican colleagues to understand this is the threat that many of us believe it to be.
00:21:37.000 Yeah, I actually agree we should block it.
00:21:39.000 We should not be the ones that are fueling a kinetic war against Ukraine and Russia.
00:21:45.000 If we're the ones that all of a sudden give billions of dollars of weapons to Ukraine and then it ends up being a war, who is Russia going to blame for that?
00:21:52.000 That gets us closer to a war with Russia, not further away from one.
00:21:56.000 By the way, where's NATO?
00:21:59.000 I think we've done our part.
00:22:02.000 Where is all of these NATO countries that are supposed to defend against Russia as if that's a big concern?
00:22:08.000 See, Democrats used to be really dovish on Russia.
00:22:14.000 Now they're hawkish on Russia because it benefits the capital flows that come from Ukraine.
00:22:19.000 And by the way, the Biden family's on both sides of this.
00:22:22.000 Hunter Biden's getting paid by the mayor of Moscow's wife and also by the burisma company.
00:22:27.000 He says, what sold being sold to the highest bidder?
00:22:32.000 Let's go to cut 32, where someone asked, should Americans be prepared for the likelihood to see American troops on the ground if Russia invades Ukraine?
00:22:43.000 Play cut 32.
00:22:44.000 Should Americans be prepared for the likelihood to see American forces on the ground in the region in the event that Russia does invade?
00:22:52.000 I'm not going to get ahead of the president's conversations with our transatlantic partners.
00:22:58.000 Now, remember when Joe Biden bragged about how much control he had over Ukraine?
00:23:03.000 In Cut 39, Biden bragged about firing the prosecutor that was looking into Hunter Biden's son.
00:23:11.000 Now, the reason I'm building out this argument, and I am not exempting Republicans from this, let me be very clear.
00:23:16.000 Republicans, some of them are equally as eager to go try and tick off Vladimir Putin.
00:23:23.000 Hey, newsflash, we might need Vladimir Putin in Russia to crush China.
00:23:27.000 No one wants to say that out loud.
00:23:28.000 It's considered a thought crime.
00:23:30.000 You're not supposed to say, I think Putin's a thug, okay?
00:23:32.000 I think Putin's an autocrat, not a fan.
00:23:35.000 With that being said, I'm really glad that Winston Churchill had the prudence, had the wisdom, and the willingness to get Joseph Stalin, an evil man, to the table and create a coalition with FDR to destroy the National Socialist Workers' Party.
00:23:53.000 Sometimes it's necessary.
00:23:55.000 This is a very serious question.
00:23:57.000 Now, this is a, boy, is this controversial for historians.
00:23:59.000 You know, it would be interesting to get Victor Davis Hansen's take on this.
00:24:02.000 Would America have won World War II if the Soviet Union would have been and remained on the German side?
00:24:11.000 That's a very serious question.
00:24:13.000 If the Soviet Union, because remember, the Soviet Union and the National Socialist Workers' Party run by Hitler, they were allies at one point.
00:24:21.000 It wasn't until the maniacs from Berlin decided to push the Eastern Front because he wanted Russia so badly and he thought that the Kazakhs were a lesser than breed psychopath.
00:24:32.000 But by the way, Stalin was also an evil person.
00:24:36.000 And here's another news flash.
00:24:37.000 Stalin was much more evil than Vladimir Putin.
00:24:39.000 Like, not even close.
00:24:42.000 Not allowed to say that, but it's totally true.
00:24:45.000 Stalin intentionally murdered 25 to 30 million people.
00:24:50.000 And yes, I know Putin's a thug and he does this and he kills, but whatever.
00:24:53.000 Okay.
00:24:54.000 Not even close to Stalin.
00:24:55.000 Not even close.
00:24:56.000 Cut 39, Joe Biden bragging that he got the prosecutor fired from Ukraine.
00:25:03.000 Cut 39.
00:25:04.000 I said, I'm telling you, you're not getting a billion dollars.
00:25:07.000 I said, you're not getting a billion.
00:25:08.000 I'm going to be leaving here.
00:25:10.000 I think it was, what, six hours?
00:25:11.000 I looked.
00:25:11.000 I said, I'm leaving in six hours.
00:25:13.000 If the prosecutor's not fired, you're not getting the money.
00:25:16.000 Oh, son of a bitch.
00:25:18.000 Got fired.
00:25:19.000 And Cut 48, Tucker questions, why is Biden firing prosecutors in Ukraine?
00:25:24.000 Cut 48.
00:25:25.000 Why is the Vice President of the United States firing prosecutors in Ukraine?
00:25:30.000 Pause for a moment and ask yourself that.
00:25:33.000 That's a bizarre behavior.
00:25:34.000 It doesn't help the United States in any way.
00:25:36.000 Why was he doing that?
00:25:37.000 At the time, Biden's handlers denied there was anything wrong with this.
00:25:40.000 They just said Shokin was corrupt and somehow the world was benefiting by Shokin getting fired.
00:25:45.000 He didn't explain how we'd benefit from that.
00:25:47.000 But of course, Joe Biden didn't do it for his son.
00:25:49.000 He didn't know anything about Burisma.
00:25:51.000 He didn't know what Hunter Biden was up to.
00:25:52.000 No clue.
00:25:54.000 Then last October, we showed you a photograph of Joe and Hunter Biden golfing with a board member of Burisma, Hunter Biden's business partner, a man called Devin Archer.
00:26:03.000 The Biden campaign never explained that photograph.
00:26:05.000 Our media, of course, never really followed up.
00:26:08.000 We know that the Biden regime is directly tied into the Ukrainian capital flows.
00:26:15.000 It is an ATM machine for the children and grandchildren of the American political ruling class.
00:26:20.000 Now, there are rumors that John Kerry's family and Romney, I don't know if that's ever been proven.
00:26:25.000 I don't know, have similar ties to Ukrainian companies.
00:26:28.000 So a lot of people are emailing us about that.
00:26:31.000 I don't know if that's true.
00:26:32.000 We know the Biden thing is true.
00:26:35.000 As I mentioned earlier, Michael Anton from the wonderful Hillsdale College, he would say, do not get involved in foreign conflicts unless you have agreement on the most fundamental things here at home.
00:26:47.000 And then if you're going to get involved, it should be something that actually benefits you.
00:26:50.000 So it violates both tenets.
00:26:52.000 Number one, we're not united.
00:26:53.000 We can't even figure out our own problems.
00:26:54.000 Number two, how does a Russian-Ukrainian border dispute at all impact the life of an everyday person in Texas?
00:27:01.000 No, seriously, someone explained that to me.
00:27:04.000 How does a plumber who now has to pay more for gas, for food, for transportation, for durable goods, how does the Ukrainian-Russian dispute impact a muscular class member in the woodlands, Texas?
00:27:21.000 No matter how you spin it, it doesn't.
00:27:24.000 And speaking of Hillsdale College, as we celebrate the Christmas season, we often pause to consider our many blessings.
00:27:30.000 Hillsdale College wishes to thank you for standing them as they celebrate over 177 years of blessings.
00:27:38.000 Since 1844, the wonderful Hillsdale College has held fast to its mission to provide the kind of education essential to preserving free government.

00:27:53.000 Perhaps you receive in Primus, it's amazing, for free every month, or have taken one of Hillsdale online courses.
00:28:00.000 I've taken several Hillsdale online courses, and you should too.
00:28:04.000 You know Hillsdale's refusal to take one penny of taxpayer-funded government money.
00:28:10.000 This independence has allowed Hillsdale College, the beacon of the North, to focus on promoting its core purposes, learning, character, faith, and freedom without government interference.
00:28:19.000 At no time in our nation's history has there been a greater need for this kind of classical liberal arts education that Hillsdale offers on its campuses and nationwide.
00:28:28.000 So during this season of blessings, Hillsdale thanks you for your partnership in extending its mission to the country.

00:28:53.000 Tucker Carlson asks Representative Mike Turner from Ohio, why should we care about Russia and Ukraine fighting?
00:29:03.000 Why is that our job?
00:29:05.000 PlayCut 47.
00:29:07.000 I mean, I'm guessing for democracy in other countries, I guess, but I'm really for America.
00:29:12.000 And I just think that our interest is in counterbalancing the actual threat, which is China.
00:29:18.000 And the only other country with any throw weight that might help us do that is Russia.
00:29:23.000 And our continuation of the Cold War has pushed Russia toward China.
00:29:28.000 And that does not serve our interest in any way, does it?
00:29:31.000 Or maybe it does.
00:29:31.000 Okay, you have to understand.
00:29:33.000 This is not a Cold War.
00:29:34.000 This is a hot war.
00:29:36.000 Russia has already invaded Ukraine and has taken Crimea and annexed it and militarized it.
00:29:41.000 It's not like that.
00:29:42.000 Wait, hold on.
00:29:42.000 So I'm glad you pointed it out.
00:29:44.000 So how did that hurt America exactly?
00:29:46.000 So they came into Crimea.
00:29:47.000 I guess I'm against that.
00:29:49.000 But I didn't notice a detectable military in American living states.
00:29:54.000 Okay, but why do I care against it?
00:29:56.000 The issue, you care because what Russia is doing is they are rebuilding their area access of denial.
00:30:02.000 There's no answer.
00:30:04.000 So why do we care about that?
00:30:06.000 Do you notice that the American ruling class doesn't care when China builds a Belt and Road Initiative across the world?
00:30:14.000 Do you notice they don't care when China does whatever they want?
00:30:17.000 But saber rattling against Russia is incredibly lucrative.
00:30:21.000 Let China do whatever they want, pretend to hate Russia, and just keep everyone's focus on that.
00:30:28.000 Very profitable.
00:30:31.000 Internet privacy is extremely important.
00:30:33.000 New news out shows that Google has been colluding with the federal government to hand over your data if you might have searched something wrong into the search bar.
00:30:44.000 So what are you doing to protect your search history?
00:30:47.000 Well, this is why you need ExpressVPN.
00:30:50.000 Using the internet without ExpressVPN is like going to the bathroom and not closing the door.
00:30:56.000 It's in fact even worse than that.
00:30:57.000 It's inviting someone into the bathroom, which is really weird and creepy.
00:31:00.000 Internet service providers know every single website you visit.
00:31:04.000 ISPs can sell this data and information to ad companies and tech giants who then use your data to target you.

00:31:27.000 Every device, I have those beautiful three letters with a rectangle around it.

00:31:43.000 Here's the thing: I have it on my iPhone.
00:31:45.000 I have it on my iPad.
00:31:46.000 I have it on my computer.
00:31:48.000 ExpressVPN for me has been a game changer to be able to know that the tech companies or the government, they have to go through a whole nother barrier to try to spy on us.
00:31:59.000 When we see with the new announcements out of DC, if you spoke at a school board meeting lately, you better get a VPN.

00:32:25.000 $297 billion.
00:32:30.000 That is Elon Musk's net worth.
00:32:32.000 Can you believe that?
00:32:33.000 I mean, it just seems like a couple of years ago, it was like $50 billion.
00:32:37.000 I remember when Elon Musk's net worth was like $10 billion.
00:32:41.000 Elon Musk is worth nearly $300 billion.
00:32:47.000 He is the world's wealthiest man.
00:32:51.000 And Elon Musk is one of the few people that you could call in the ruling class that is red-pilling people by the millions.
00:33:00.000 Do you notice the activist press, though, doesn't really cover everything Elon says, but it's okay.
00:33:04.000 He's so rich.
00:33:05.000 He's so big.
00:33:06.000 I just want to say, Elon, if you're listening to this, please go buy all the media companies and make them less corrupt.
00:33:12.000 You're worth $300 billion.
00:33:14.000 You could do it.
00:33:15.000 Or go start your own, honestly.
00:33:17.000 Let's go to Cut 43.
00:33:20.000 Elon Musk was asked about the vaccine and said this: play Cut 43.
00:33:25.000 It does not make sense to take the job of capital allocation away from people who have demonstrated great skill in capital allocation and give it to an entity that has demonstrated very poor skill in capital allocation, which is the government.
00:33:41.000 I mean, you can think of the government essentially as a corporation in the limits.
00:33:46.000 The government is simply the biggest corporation with a monopoly on violence and where you have no recourse.
00:33:54.000 I want to re-emphasize what he just said.
00:33:56.000 That is one of the most red-pilled statements I've heard from anyone with a net worth over $100 billion.
00:34:02.000 The government is simply a big corporation with a monopoly on violence.
00:34:07.000 This is from a Wall Street Journal interview, and they have no recourse.
00:34:10.000 Elon Musk has just articulated one of the core beliefs of the founding fathers better than anyone that I've seen in recent memory.
00:34:18.000 The government has a monopoly on violence, and right now we do not have a check and balance against them.
00:34:23.000 Hello, James Madison.
00:34:24.000 Your original thesis is now being articulated by the world's wealthiest man.
00:34:29.000 Elon Musk was asked about the Biden multi-trillion dollar Build Back Better agenda during this same interview, asked, like, hey, seriously, shouldn't we just pass this wonderful bill?
00:34:40.000 Elon Musk, the $300 billion man, was asked, play cut 50.
00:34:45.000 Well, all right, but there's some other good things in this bill that some would argue.
00:34:49.000 I mean, a lot of money earmarked for RD.
00:34:52.000 Would you want to put that towards something?
00:34:54.000 No.
00:34:55.000 Okay.
00:34:56.000 All right.
00:34:57.000 All right.
00:34:57.000 We're going to move on from the bill because I think we get what you're saying.
00:35:03.000 In general, we should just, if we don't cut government spending, something really bad is going to happen.
00:35:09.000 This is crazy.
00:35:10.000 Our spending is so far in excess of revenue.
00:35:12.000 It's insane.
00:35:15.000 Like, you could zero out all billionaires in the country.
00:35:17.000 This is all this like anti-billionaire BS.
00:35:19.000 Well, if you zeroed out all the billionaires, you still wouldn't solve the deficit.
00:35:24.000 If we do not cut government spending, something really bad is going to happen.
00:35:28.000 Now, Elon Musk is in the uncancelable category.
00:35:31.000 Can't cancel him.
00:35:33.000 He's wealthier than all the cancel artists.
00:35:35.000 But Elon Musk, again, he's a mixed bag.
00:35:38.000 He says some stuff at times that's totally wacky.
00:35:40.000 But on this, he's terrific.
00:35:42.000 Government spending, monopoly on violence, articulating constitutional republic, God-granted rights doctrine, perfect.
00:35:49.000 But I will say this also about Elon.
00:35:52.000 Elon embodies something that we need to demand, which is that we do not want to get rid of rulers.
00:36:00.000 You're never going to get rid of rulers.
00:36:01.000 We want better rulers.
00:36:04.000 We want people that actually take responsibility for their nation and for what is best in the world.
00:36:08.000 And when Elon Musk says, why are we spending all this money?
00:36:13.000 The reason why this is going viral is because Elon's the only one that has said it.
00:36:20.000 All of our other rulers just kind of sit idly by and be like, well, I guess just don't do anything to me.
