Tucker gets Thomas Massie’s take on the war in Ukraine, inflation, cov—you-know-what, and meat.
Highlights include:
“Ever notice how the bigger the tragedy is, the harder it is for the people responsible to apologize? If I rear-end your car and crease your bumper, I’m happy to jump out and say, ‘I’m sorry, I can’t believe I did that’, but if I were to, say, invade Iraq under false pretenses and kill a million people and spend a trillion of your dollars doing it, I wouldn’t say a word, I would never admit that was a bad idea. I couldn’t, it implicates me too profoundly. The same goes for if I , say, locked your kids inside for a year and destroyed their brains and prevented them from getting and education, or if I, say, forced you to take a v— that didn’t work, that very well might have hurt you. I could never admit that I did that, I just couldn’t, because if I admitted it, I’d have to suffer the consequences. Something very much like that is happening with the war in Ukraine, which has been in progress now for almost two years…”
“Ukraine is not going to beat Russia. The only person who’s been beaten in this is the United States. The US is weaker, measurably weaker because of our support for Ukraine in this war, that’s just true, the verdict is in, and honest, rational people admit that, no matter what their previous position. But the Biden administration cannot admit that, and neither can the US Congress, and so now there is, believe it or not, an effort in progress to get the US government to send another 60-odd billion dollars to the oligarchs in Ukraine so another generation of Ukrainian men, this one probably in their 50s, can die in a pointless war on the battlefield. They’re not going to win, but the US Congress would like to keep this conflict going anyway.”
“We can’t afford it. At some point I realized we had spent more in Ukraine than we spend on all our roads and bridges in the United States and I tweeted that, and Newsweek did a fact check on me. And what they found out is it was true…Since then, we’ve spent twice as much in Ukraine as we do on all of our roads and bridges federally in the United States. That is money that could’ve gone to double our infrastructure, yet we’re blowing up infrastructure that we’re gonna end up, I hate this, but they’re gonna tell us that we have to rebuild it when this is all over with.”
“They’re saying the quiet part out loud, that Congressmen tend to vote for this stuff because a lot of this federal spending that goes to Ukraine is actually laundered back to the military industrial complex, and in some ways, not very efficiently, but in some ways it enriches people in their districts and the stockholders, some of whom are congressmen.”
“A lot of this money, too, isn’t just going to lethal aid anymore. We’re propping up the government, we’re paying salaries of politicians in Ukraine and we’re paying pensions of politicians in Ukraine.”
“Look at what they did in Afghanistan. 30 or 40 percent of the special, you know, the police in Afghanistan, their security forces, didn’t exist. We were paying salaries for people who were on the payroll but they weren’t real people. And now that we’re paying salaries in Ukraine, how do we know that those are real people?”
