In the latest episode of his X show, Tucker Carlson slammed the Biden administration for wanting to send even more money to Ukraine.
He began the episode by describing the phenomenon by which people refuse to ever take responsibility for their mistakes.
“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,” he said.
“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 an education, or if I say, forced you to take a vax 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,” he added.

Similarly, he continued, the same thing is now happening in Ukraine.
“We were told at the beginning that our support would allow Ukraine to beat Russia and keep Russia from invading the rest of Europe or something. Well, almost two years in, none of that has turned out to be true. Ukraine is not going to beat Russia,” he said.
“The only person who’s been beaten in this is the United States. The U.S. 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,” Carlson added.
The problem is that neither the Biden administration nor its lackeys in Congress can admit this, which is why they’re both now angling to send more money to Ukraine.
“Now there is, believe it or not, an effort in Congress to get the U.S. 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 U.S. Congress would like to keep this conflict going anyway,” Carlson explained.
“So you’d think someone would stand up and say this is awful, but almost nobody has. Why? Because the position of the administration is, if you’re not in favor of this sending another $60 billion dollars to the oligarchs in Ukraine, then you’re working for Vladimir Putin,” he added.
Indeed, when National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan was recently questioned about opposition to sending Ukraine money, he said, “a vote against supporting Ukraine is a vote to improve Putin’s strategic position.”
Listen:
Carlson was flabbergasted by Sullivan’s reply.
“He says with a straight face anyone who doesn’t support this legislation is helping Putin. It’s insanity, but it’s intimidated almost the entirety of the U.S. Congress and certainly the Republican leadership, which is four square on the side of the Biden administration,” he said.
Except for “few members of Congress” like Rep. Thomas Massie, whom Carlson then briefly interviewed. As his first question, he asked the congressman to explain why he opposes additional Ukraine funding.
Massie straight-up replied that America simply can’t afford it.
“We can’t afford it. Look, 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. And, you know, when you get the fact-checkers to admit it … it’s a metaphysical certainty,” he said.
“And 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 have gone to double our infrastructure, yet we’re blowing up infrastructure that we’re going to end up — I hate this — but they’re going to tell us that we have to rebuild it when this is all over with it. The scale of this insanity is hard to digest, and I think whatever empire comes after ours, we’ll spend time studying it,” he added.
