00:01:01.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:01.000I had some spare time the other day on a flight and I went way, way, way back to February of last year, of 2022, when Putin invaded Ukraine.
00:02:15.000I went way back and I started to reread some emails.
00:03:39.000We know that Zelensky has suspiciously fired some people for corruption because corruption is the Ukrainian way.
00:03:47.000And Zelensky has done multiple trips to the West to try to continue support for his war effort.
00:03:54.000Of course, Zelensky is largely a proxy of the intel agencies.
00:04:00.000He was put into power via a Western-supported color revolution.
00:04:04.000Zelensky has never been nearly as popular in Ukraine as people think.
00:04:10.000Zelensky came the first time to Congress and gave an address to the joint session, put the flag and Cami and Pelosi and standing ovation after standing ovation, saying this is the most important thing ever.
00:04:22.000One of the reasons why we opposed intervention in Ukraine is we knew that if you were to tell Ukraine that the West has quote unquote your back, while we knew that we were never actually going to go all in, we were effectively leading Ukrainians to their slaughter.
00:04:44.000That we are going to lead Ukrainians closer and closer towards a systemic, systematic massacre on behalf of the Russian military.
00:05:36.000Why is it that the Republicans and the Democrats non-stop talk about intensifying the conflict?
00:05:44.000Elon Musk, a year ago, in October, asked a question for Ukrainian-Russian peace.
00:05:56.0002.7 million people voted, and he put forward some things, and he said, Ukraine remains neutral, water supply to Crimea assured, Crimea, formerly part of Russia, redo elections, and we have the eastern part of Ukraine go to Russia.
00:06:13.000So effectively, the West said, we want Ukrainians to keep on dying to go fight Russians.
00:06:21.000We want them to keep on running into machine gun fire, but we don't actually want to go all in and send our own troops.
00:06:31.000And they were never actually able to answer the question, why do we hate Russia as much as we hate them?
00:06:37.000Why did the West, namely the United States and the United Kingdom, disencourage peace at the very outset?
00:06:44.000So this piece right now, this article in Time magazine is extraordinary.
00:06:52.000Time.com, Zelensky's struggle to keep Ukraine in the fight.
00:06:59.000This article, quite honestly, should anger you, but it's also very depressing.
00:07:05.000It's depressing because here is another country that the American government gave false hope to, and now hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians will have died and tens of thousands of young men will have died because of America because we said, oh, yeah, yeah, we'll have your back.
00:07:33.000Quote, amid all the pressure to root out corruption, I assumed perhaps naively that officials in Ukraine would think twice before taking a bribe or pocketing state funds.
00:07:44.000But when I made this point to a top presidential advisor in early October, he asked me to turn off my audio recorder so he could speak more freely.
00:09:03.000They are scraping at the bottom of the barrel.
00:09:06.000And this was predicted by Professor Mearsheimer at the University of Chicago.
00:09:13.000We have been talking about this this entire time.
00:09:16.000And we've said, how does this help America?
00:09:18.000How does this even help Ukraine if that's what you care about?
00:09:21.000And Americans are neocons say, well, we're killing Russians and the Ukrainians do the dying for us.
00:09:27.000Mitt Romney has said this and Elon Musk predicted it.
00:09:31.000Quote, this is the highly likely, the highly likely to be the outcome in the end.
00:09:35.000Just the question of how many will die before then.
00:09:37.000Also, worth noting that a possible, albeit unlikely, outcome from the conflict is nuclear war.
00:09:42.000So everything that we predicted is coming true.
00:09:47.000And Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Mitt Romney, a majority of Republicans and almost every Democrat has now spent hundreds of billions of dollars to get a stalemate with huge losses, risk of nuclear war, massive waste of money for what?
00:12:05.000The West is leading Ukraine down the primrose path.
00:12:09.000And the end result is that Ukraine is going to get wrecked.
00:12:13.000What we're doing is encouraging the Ukrainians to play tough with the Russians.
00:12:18.000We're encouraging the Ukrainians to think that they will ultimately become part of the West because we will ultimately defeat Putin and we will ultimately get our way.
00:12:46.000That is Professor Mersheimer from University of Chicago.
00:12:48.000Years ago, by the way, six years ago, the West is leading Ukraine down a primrose path, and the end result is Ukraine is going to get wrecked.
00:12:57.000My heart goes out to the poor people of Ukraine that have been lied to, used as puppets for Zelensky's war.
00:13:04.000Zelensky is going to get a golden parachute regardless of how many Ukrainians get killed.
00:13:10.000Zelensky will go to the hills of Florence and just chill out.
00:13:17.000And by the way, I almost guarantee you, Zelensky, he has taken 10% for the big guy.
00:13:24.000Those billions of dollars flowing, Time magazine reports that the corruption is so institutionalized that the stealing is worse than ever before.
00:13:35.000You're trying to tell me that Zelensky has not taken a little billion here and 600 million there and 500 million there.
00:13:43.000The real evildoers here are those in Washington, D.C.
00:13:48.000The West refused to go sit down with Russia and Vladimir Putin before Putin invaded.
00:13:57.000They saw that Putin was doing a military buildup.
00:13:59.000Joe Biden in the West could have met with Putin and prevented the invasion.
00:14:06.000Is it possible that the American government was at best indifferent, at worst supportive quietly of a war in Ukraine?
00:14:18.000They certainly didn't want peace and they still don't want peace.
00:14:35.000It's because the people in DC are perfectly fine with tens of thousands and potentially hundreds of thousands of young Ukrainians getting slaughtered.
00:14:48.000Adam Kinzinger, perfectly cool with it.
00:14:51.000They are just pawns in their neoconservative global game of risk.
00:14:58.000There's a very powerful scene in the movie W. There's a lot wrong with that movie, but there's a very powerful scene where Dick Cheney looks at the world and he views it just as a board game, almost as we can control this area and this hemisphere.
00:15:21.000And I found that particular scene to be so powerful because that's exactly how DC views this.
00:15:30.000It's nothing more than a glorified board game or video game for them.

00:19:28.000But the vast majority of people on television, on radio, and podcasting were all in for the neoconservative war project.
00:19:35.000Learning nothing from Vietnam, learning nothing from Iraq, learning nothing from Afghanistan, learning nothing about the permanent war machine in Washington, D.C.
00:19:50.000We lost hundreds of thousands of dollars at Turning Point USA in the first couple of weeks because of my personal position on the Ukraine-Russian war.
00:20:00.000Hundreds of thousands of dollars of donations.
00:20:04.000We had people that were calling me saying that I was a Putin puppet, people that were sympathetic with the Zelensky-Ukrainian war effort.
00:20:12.000And I told them, I said, look, if you are really going to pull your gift to the unbelievably important work that Turning Point USA is doing because you disagree with my stance on America's involvement in a foreign proxy we're 5,000 miles away, you're making a mistake.
00:20:29.000And some of those donors said, Charlie, the most important thing happening in the world is supporting Zelensky.
00:24:03.000What I'm getting at, though, is you live through enough of these, you recognize and realize that there are powers even above the media: COVID, masks, lockdown, BLM, January 6, election integrity, mass mail and balloting, most secure election ever, Hunter Biden laptop suppression.
00:24:24.000You start to see patterns that maybe what you are being told is not true.
00:24:44.000Maybe it's not so good person against not so good person over a land dispute hundreds of years old, a family conflict.
00:24:53.000And public opinion has now dramatically changed on Ukraine.
00:24:59.000What started as a 10% minority that we were in, 10%, a vast majority of all Americans, Republican, Democrat, Independent, 55 to 59% and growing, say no more aid to Ukraine and broker peace.
00:25:16.000And make no mistake, turning point action played a big role in this.
00:25:22.000You want to know a little matrix disruptor, a political earthquake?
00:25:30.000This last summer, we asked the question, even more overwhelming on support for Donald Trump.
00:25:36.000The most overwhelming question that we asked our turning point action attendees at the Turning Point Action Conference was: Do you support sending any more aid to Ukraine?
00:27:15.000Why is it that Democrats are interrupting Tony Blinken calling for a ceasefire between Israel and Gaza, Israel, and the Palestinian Authority?
00:27:27.000But no such ceasefire has ever been demanded by the Democrat-based activists or the media when it comes to Russia and Ukraine.
00:27:41.000I've been saying it for quite some time.
00:27:43.000Ukraine is a symbol, a symbol no different than the trans flag, the BLM flag.
00:27:48.000Ukraine is a mascot, and they can't allow that mascot to collapse.
00:27:52.000And Ukraine is a meeting point of all the garbage, rubbish-filled Western postmodern ideals that we teach our kids, and they will not surrender it.

00:29:22.000We said for quite some time the buried lead of the Ukrainian-Russian war, if you look carefully, is the LGBTQIA.
00:29:32.000Many people in the West, they hate Putin for many several reasons, but one of the reasons they hate Putin is because he's a gay hater and that Ukraine is this safe haven for the gay world or whatever.
00:29:46.000And they say Ukraine is a place for us to export our values, like pride flags on embassies.
00:29:51.000And by the way, Putin makes this very clear.
00:29:54.000In several of the domestic Russian speeches that Putin makes, it might just be an excuse, but he rallies domestic support, talking about how the West medically mutilates kids, talking about how the transgenderism is a mental disorder.
00:30:11.000Putin talks about we're fighting in Ukraine so the West doesn't contaminate Russia.
00:30:17.000That is Putin's own domestic rallying cry.
00:30:21.000Remember, the spokesperson for the Ukrainian military was a man who thought it was a woman.
00:30:27.000The Cyrillo person, a total freak, Saren Ashtos Cirillo, screaming into the camera about how that there's a hit list and how, well, that's to say hit list, but like that all the Putin puppets are going to pay.
00:31:12.000So that's a short, just a little snippet of they're trying to get more people from Western Ukraine to join the war effort using LGBT propaganda.
00:32:19.000Liberals are indoctrinated by a few things, white guilt and oppression narratives.
00:32:23.000They see brown people who are fundamentally against their values, traditions, and customs, but they don't care.
00:32:29.000They see white Israelis bombing them as an aggressor nation of brown Arabs, and it triggers them.
00:32:36.000And they want to stand against white oppressors.
00:32:39.000Do not underestimate race in this entire geopolitical good guy, bad guy.
00:32:45.000In Ukraine and Russia, it's white people killing white people, conveniently allowing the elites in the West to sidestep any racial complexities.
00:33:07.000But when it comes to the people of Gaza, oh, they're oppressed because they have a different skin color.
00:33:14.000And then they also get to loop it in to widespread Jew hatred.
00:33:20.000What is happening with Ukraine and Russia is just George Floyd anti-white muscle memory.
00:33:27.000The same anti-white beliefs that have infected the entire university system, that dominate the media, that we teach our kids, plays a role in the West's indifference to brokering a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.
00:33:45.000And their anti-white beliefs and their anti-Jewish beliefs play a significant role in, well, there's two sides to the story.
00:33:54.000Why are there two sides to the story between Israel and Hamas, but there's not two sides to the story between Russia and Ukraine?
