thank you, trace gallagher. time for some text, global new jersey, a nonpolitical question. your hair is never out of place. what gel or mousse do you use? that is a trade secret. i can't tell you. tucker carlson is up next and remember i am jesse watters, and this is my world. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to tucker carlson tonight. since the day donald trump became president, democrats in washington told you a pay truck duty to vladimir putin. it is not a suggestion but a mandate, and treason, many americans have obeyed this directive with vladimir putin and maybe you are one of them. he is the central purpose of policies, the main man that we

talk about, cable channel my channels are devoted to it. very soon that hatred of vladimir putin could turn into a conflict in eastern europe. before that happens, think about asking yourself, what is this really about? has spee say don't like putin ever called me a racist or tried to get me fired or shipped every middle-class job to russia? did he manufactured worldwide pandemic that wrecked my business and command doors for two years? is he teaching my children to embrace racial -- is he making fennel or stomping out christian that christianity or eating dogs? the answer is no. vladimir putin did not do any of that. so why does permanent washington hate him so much? if you have been watching the news, putin has a border dispute with ukraine. the main thing to know about ukraine is the leaders wants millions of dollars to joe biden's family. now surprisingly ukraine is one

of biden and pledged to defend the borders even as he opens our borders to the worlds. invading america is equity and invading ukraine as a war crime. so with every day we move closer to some kind of conflict with russia, conflict that could easily spin out of control. the people running it have no fine motor skills. even the administration assures us this has nothing to do with repaying joe biden's personal debts to ukrainian oligarchs, not at all. the point here is to defend democracy. not that ukraine is a democracy is not a democracy. the president has arrested his main political opponent and shut down newspapers and television stations that dare to criticize him. so an american terms, you would call ukraine a tierney. but joe biden likes ukraine so putin bad or good. how will this affect you quite a bit, it will affect you quite a bit. energy prices in the united states are about to go away appear at everything you buy will become much more

expensive. and the tickets you need to take your family on vacation this summer, assuming you can afford vacation by then. you are about to become immeasurably poor. that is not a guess. biden has admitted this. on the other hand you will win a moral victory against bc don't expiate much, much worse than justin trudeau, just so you know. you can feel good about that because... because, lets he, why would you feel good about that? it seems like a pretty terrible deal for you and for the united states. hunter biden gets $1 million a year for ukraine but you can no longer afford to go out to dinner. that is not a bargain. so what am i missing here? what we are missing is the big picture in joe biden with kamala harris to explain that picture. kamala harris' old job was to open america's borders. he did that but the new job is to keep ukraine's borders close. kamala harris was in europe the other day to explain the whole thing. she began with a history lesson,

letting the european peoples know about recent past which she assumes they've had forgotten because so few speak english. she opened up christian cellular tatian, "listen guys" because states people that is how they talk. watch kemal a harris. >> listen, guys we are talking about the potential with war with europe. i mean, let's really take a moment to talk about the significance of what we are talking about. it has been over seven years. through those heavenly years, as of yesterday there has been peae and security. we are talking about the real possibility of war in europe. >> tucker: listen, guys, you may be europeans who lived in europe, but you don't understand the ramifications of war in europe. that is your problem. the security for more than 70 70 years. kamala harris just told the europeans that appear that, by the way, is true if you don't count the breakup of yugoslavia

which was in 1990 or the soviet occupation of half of the landmass with enslavement of hundreds of millions. but apart from that, it's all been peace and security in europe until now. the soviets are fine. vladimir putin is back. what are we doing about that? kamala harris, watch. >> and the allied relationship is such that we have agreed that the deterrence of sanctions, especially because remember also, we still sincerely hope that there is a diplomatic path out of this moment. and within the context then open although it is absolutely narrowing but within the context of a diplomatic path still being open, the deterrence effect would legalize in america. >> tucker: got that? take a breath and let it sink in. here it is again "we have agreed

the deterrence affected the sanctions are meaningful one because especially remember also we sincerely hope there is a diplomatic path out of this moment within the context of the fact the window was still opening, still open although it is absolutely narrowing but in the context of diplomatic paths "the deterrence we believe as americans." of course it has merit. the only question is what the hell are you talking about, the answer is kamala harris has no idea what she's talking about and the direction of what she's talking about, her mouth opens with chunks of language come tumbling out in order. it is soothing to listen to it until you try to understand what it means. kamala harris told us just last month, "it is time to do what we have been doing. that time is everyday." to which we respond "that is right news vice president person, today is the first day of the rest of your life, learn it, love it, live it, and while you are at it, eat, pray, love." you can imagine vladimir putin's reaction to all of this women

drops translated transcript of kamala harris' remarks on his desk. the slavic mind is a hall of mirrors. it sees traps that every intersection and clearly kamala harris must be setting some sign them a kind of trap for the russians here. her words don't make sense but she can't possibly be dim and childish. america is a superpower and would never put a senile man and imbecile on charge of the country. on the other hand, maybe so. by the way it's not just our country. a few weeks ago the russian foreign minister sergei labs roth met with liz trust. and he asked if the country recognized russian sovereignty over both which are actually parts of russia. so it was a trick question but liz trust had no idea. so she replied that great britain would never recognize the regents as russians despite the fact they already are russian.

and so liz trust has no idea what she is talking about either. but here's the thing, she was unembarrassed about that. none of them are embarrassed about that. john bolton knows a lot and spent decades weakening america foreign policy ideas and getting a lot of decent people killed. so you think at this point, if justice rebuild, john bolton would live in isolation and shame somewhere spending his das doing, here is john bolton msnbc demanding another worthless one. watch. >> do you think that we should go in to defend? >> i think it is too late for that now but i would say this the red line between being eight tree l.a. of the united states and not being one is significant. but the issue as in all issues like this is what i russian invasion and takeover of ukraine adversely affect american national security and that of its nato allies? absolutely yes. we did not act appropriately. early, we should have had more

american forces in ukraine, not to fight the russians, but to trade with the ukrainians and show russian generals looking across the border and seeing the american flags. i wonder what that means? biden took that off the table saying there would be no american forces involved, and he got nothing for it. >> tucker: so the only problem with joe biden's ukraine policy says john bolton, it is too weak. your are not fighting right there right now, hunker down and shooting at putin. let's try a winter war in russia. we've never done it before. and in fact demanding it it unlike the british foreign secretary and quite a bit, he was born there. many people with a moral obligation to defend the homeland it if you don't you are a murderer. watch him again on msnbc. >> i think these folks, the right wing pendants and the g.o.p. that supports him really quite frankly have blood on their hands because they are

encouraging and enticing these kind of opportunism and that's not just kind of plain rhetoric like you could say something without consequences but too often happens in the united states. this has real consequences and people will die because of this. >> tucker: people will die. so your job is to take up arms in defense of alexander vindman's home country or else it is evil. that is our policy. all right, alexander vindman, you are compelling us to get in, what will this cost to defend the country? in fact joe biden address that question today. the cost will be here at home. we need to be honest about it. really? biden said the pain of our sanctions, watch. >> reprimanding full blocking sanctions on two financial institutions, deb and the military bank.

reprimanding sanctions on sovereign debt. that means we cut off the russians government from western finance. it can no longer raise cannot have new debt on european. starting tomorrow, we continue ahead, and the sanctions on russian's lead center and family members. they share with the kremlin policies and share in the pain as well. because of russian's actions, we work with germany to ensure norden nord stream 2 and will not come as a promise, will not move forward. >> tucker: so let's put aside the question of why you would ever want to shut down any energy pipeline anywhere ever. especially now, nearly crude oil is $200 a barrel since 2014. that is not a small thing because you need energy that is nonnegotiable so how having less

energy help the united states. joe biden didn't hint at an answer to that and he didn't answer any questions. he ran away and he didn't even read the script. back in real life, no windows that nothing will tank anything faster than cutting off supply of fossil fuels. despite what you may know from energy experts like sandy cortez, 400 million people cannot run on windmills. we don't have the line to get that power to your house. for a long time. but don't worry, kamala harris. the administration has ways of fixing the spike in energy prices. we have it under control because as it turns out kamala harris is secretly in charge of global energy markets. no, just kidding. harris has no idea what a barrel of oil costs. she doesn't know how much natural gas is measured. she knows pretty much that is it. so everything is about to get a lot more expensive for you. so to warn you, she mentioned it

to date. speak with the president has already said americans will be g some economic fallout and hardships. can you explain to the americans what exactly -- >> is the president and his speech, we are aware that again, when american stains for principles in all of the things that we hold dear, it requires some time for us to put ourselves out there in a way that maybe we will incur some cost. in this situation, that may relate to energy costs for example. >> tucker: so one of the principles we are defending here, we are defending a regime that has arrested their main rifle and shut down opposition media. what principle is at stake here apart from rewarding the fine families -- at least she is honest to say it's happening in eastern europe may relate to energy cost. that is euphemism for good luck

filling your truck this last august. does that part of their gnomic father kamala harris? voters won't like it in november. but they are doing it anyway and shutting down domestic energy pipelines here and the biggest gas supplier. so maybe something bigger at work and maybe they are thinking long term. maybe they are not against rising oil and gas prices. maybe they are for it. may be expensive energy would be good for the many renewable deals their friends and donors are invested in. you know the answer. we do know all of us are about to suffer. so we hope hating vladimir putin is worth it. tulsi gabbard is one of the few people democratic party salt is coming and excoriated for it, she is from hawaii and joins us tonight. thank you so much for coming on. so i'm trying to think because i think it is a fair question as an american, what does excoriate main and the neighbors on the rest of us and no one getting is that we can feel morally satisfied because we hate putin. is there something that i'm missing? >> no, i don't think you are

missing anything. the reality is the sanctions don't work, whether put in before or now or later. the sanctions don't work. what we do know is they will increase suffering and hardship for the american people. this is the whole problem with the biden administration. they are so focused on how do we punish putin that they don't care and they are not focused on what is actually in the best interest of the american people. so when biden stands there and looks directly into the camera and says defending freedom will cost us, what he really should be stating is looking directly into the american people's eyes and saying, "this will cost you." because the sanctions are not going to cost him or kamala harris or the power elite in this country free from the power elite in russia. is the people who will suffer. the american people, the russian people and people here at home working hard every single day facing those drastically increasing prices at the gas pump, facing increasing cost of

the supermarket. impacting our supply chain. the hardships that people are dealing with everyday now with biden sanctions plan, we will only see that continue to get worse. and it doesn't end back there, tucker. the problem is you don't think russia will respond? he will respond and likely he will retaliate using cyberattacks on our financial systems and communication systems, on our basic infrastructure here at biden will be forced to respond and putin forced a response. so to protect toledo's where, this looming threat and likelihood of this thing going nuclear. and again, this is the reality that we need to understand is true, whether intentional or unintentional, we have two great nuclear armed countries at this point of escalation. and then if there is a nuclear attack, the power elite, these people will go hide in their bunkers. they will have their shelter, food, water and everything they

need. you and i and the american people, we will be left out to deal with the consequences. to suffer and deal with that destruction and death that will come as a result. >> tucker: and yet, we are doing this for principle. the people in charge we don't care about the founding documents who violate the spirit everyday are telling us the central american principles. do you have any idea what that principle might be? that they are analyzed for hypocrisy, tucker, we are doing in defense of freedom but these are the very same people that are working to undermine our own freedom and our own democracy right here at home. i have a hard time seeing how they actually say these things with a straight face to the american people when they clearly don't care about these principles right here at home. they don't care about the well-being of the american people. >> tucker: think that is all very clear. and i appreciate you saying it. tulsi gabbard joining us tonight, thank you. it is interesting when people

tell you who you are required to be mad at. you've got a right to think for yourself. you should be met at the people making your life force or preventing you from seeing what you think is true. recalling my calling you a racist and only to hurt you. destroying your children's education and allowing your country to become polluted and with drugs. well, to canada we go, speaking of democracy, justin trudeau's supporters have voted to extend martial law in canada. some of the supporters are comparing the trucker warrants to, honk your horn and you are a. caught without a mask after re-imposing a mask mandate across the city, and we brought this to you. we will be right back

trucks but his allies extended martial law. remember this party argued that emergency is absolutely necessary to fight the rise of fascism in canada which is a big problem apparently. she explained hong kong, the honk by truckers is actually a nazi salute. >> how many guns need to be seized? how much vitriol do we have to see of hong honk honk, which is like hitler. do we need to see by the protesters on social media? >> tucker: to comment on that we have asked candace owens to dewitt and said mech instead, candace we are happy that you have joined us tonight, thank you so much. i'm going to stop right there and handed to you. >> what can i say? have you ever been stuck in traffic, people honking their horns as trying to salute it off adolf adolf hitler. this is so ridiculous. i want to give you a foreign

policy update what is going on at the country. in the north essentially someone declared himself to be a dictator for all intents and purposes. don't worry, it is only short-term. like two weeks the slow of the spread of the honking of hitler supporters, right? to the south, inpatient happening and people walking over the border unchecked, and meanwhile insisting we pay attention to russia, right, to say, we have some real problems in the best. you have people in canada and i spoke with organizers and getting arrested, not only are they getting arrested but completely nonviolent protest, zero bail being offered to them, right, and out allowing the main leaders out of prison and trumpd up charges that mean nothing except to mess with the state and you face the consequences. something you might see, by the way under something like i don't know adolf hitler, joseph someone, and calling us exactly what they are guilty of. god forbid you asked people in the mainstream to cover what is going on in canada and they are

having their bank account shut down. now not just by the organizers by the way, but putin brought them pizza, food, coffee, and restaurants nearby having police back on their doors and served papers and told, your bank accounts are going to be shut down pending further notice. the young man i was speaking with today said they cannot feed their families. they can't go out and buy anything. everything is frozen until the dictator justin trudeau decides he will do something about this. this will not end by the way. exactly what they want you to focus on is russia, though, right? russia, the soviet union and is coming back, communism coming back and telling us what is happening here in the west quest market is absolutely mind-boggling what is taking place. people need to stay focused and talk about what is happening at home, and the threat is happening domestically as more significant. >> tucker: so you have nonviolent protesters being held without bail. i'm not much of a dock connector but i feel there is a familiar

template to that. >> there absolutely is. again, imagine shutting down their bank accounts. the threats that we are facing when they can reach in and say, guess what, tucker you have no more access to your cash because you questioned the state. by the way, where we told this was a small french protest? everything they have tried has implicated to me that they are running out of things to do, right? and they said they are waving confederate flags. why are canadians waving confederate flags? that is completely irrelevant to canadian history. it doesn't make sense. they tried operation january 6th and it did not work. people need to understand the tyranny and more and more the state is like, we don't have control of the narrative anymore. no one is believing us anymore. they are doing usual theatrics to draw up hitler's name anything more than hardworking individuals that are absolutely sick of the tyranny which is happening in america as well. we are being disillusioned with our government and want to

pursue the truth and we will see increase iron grip because they realize they are losing control. >> tucker: i'm not sure what that has to do with eastern ukraine, but i appreciate. >> they want us to focus on, russia, look over there. >> tucker: good to see you, thanks a lot. >> thank you. >> tucker: though latoya cantrell the new mayor of new orleans, she is not helping, but more mask mandates in effect for mardi gras, march 1st, next week. so latoya control set the mandate is necessary but these are just not normal times. >> it does give us some sense of normal of bringing back some normalcy, but at the same time, it is very important for everyone to recognize and realize that we are not under normal times. >> yeah, so where your obedience mask. if you happen to attend the

mardi gras ball last friday night, it was an actual normal time for latoya control. she is dancing carefree, her face but naked, the whole time. so the people in power don't follow their own rules. a lot of them don't pay taxes to the governments they run. but nobody cares. you will see them as they are not releasing any data on the hospitalization of in vitro shots because they might be misinterpreted by you. brit hume is fox nation's political analyst and we are happy to have you join us tonight. we've been so many stories, brit hume, do people care and should they care? >> i think these politicians who issue mask mandates with no mask on, that it's a problem. people see that and obviously hypocrisy and people are attuned to it. you have to put that down as almost incomparable blunder. >> tucker: yet these people keep doing it again and again.

and i know politicians don't pay their taxes. yours, i pay mine, we have to. >> boy, do i ever. >> tucker: but a lot of them don't. i will be a lot of them don't. >> yeah, i know, this episode has rebuild a lot to a lot of people about the politicians and how they behave and how arrogant they are and how entitled they are and how entitled they feel. in terms of the cdc that you just mentioned. that is a wonderful example. another hypocrisy, and to other things, it is about incompetence because the one thing you know about agencies like the cdc, they gather a lot of data and do a poor job of getting it organized, checked in the in a way that is meaningful. on top of that, we found out in this episode they were concerned about the data particularly related to 184018-49 age group and the data made it look as though the vaccine were not

effective, right? obviously, people least likely, not the very least likely but among the least likely to be affected by covid anyway. >> tucker: yes. >> so what they did is withheld the data and hopes it would not get out there and discouraging people from getting shots. remember dr. fauci on masks as he said, before the protection you shouldn't get it. then he later said, well, you should get them and he became ardent of mask and he didn't want people to go out and buy all the masts of the health care workers needed them so desperately would have them. of course he kept moving the goalpost later on on what level of vaccination in the country would give herd immunity. he kept doing that, changing that. the reason for that was he wanted to continue the pressure on people to get vaccinated. now, this is the useful information to inform people but to manipulate them. and that has been in effect throughout all of this and one for the thing. these politicians and these

other leaders health care officials and the others don't trust the public at all. they don't think the public can be trusted with information to make the right decisions. that is where we are and we have seen that throughout the pandemic. reciprocal and if you behave like that people would not trust you. >> exactly and that is where we are, lots of trust and the public health officials is extraordinary you see it in the polling's and everywhere. that is the fruit of this business being willing to mislead to tell so-called noble lies that are supposed to have some better purpose. maybe they do, but look at these health officials. >> tucker: it is sad. i've never touch the politicians but the core american institutions like cdc, fbi, we need to trust them. >> and we always have. >> tucker: i always have. brit hume, thank you. the lieutenant governor dan patrick has been thinking a lot how to stop in his state from racial discrimination. his proposal would mean ending

tenure for any professor pushing racism. he joins us next to explain. ♪ ♪

>> tucker: welcome it is easy to make fun of canada where apparently honking your horn is some kind of salute. they have a massive nazi problem in canada but then if you live in this country, may be don't not so much because seattle is a city in our country and has entered a law that requires people to wear helmets riding bikes. that is good. there shouldn't be allowed but do it if you want. it is the reason they ended that law that jason rantz will explain to us. jason is the man in this specific northwest and has a story for us. >> hey, welcome to another edition of everything is great and bicycle helmet laws are racist because black bicycle is given tickets disproportionate rate than white bicyclist. this claim is based on nontiered review report by woke page student over at the university

of washington. this was an attempt to type bicycle infractions to instances of racism policing. saddle in king county as a whole, a $30 ticket if not wearing a helmet riding your bike. after the first couple of years, pretty much wasn't enforced. and yet the king county board of health decided to look into the ticket distribution as part of their commitment to what they defined as equity because they were inspired by the blm movement. this report says black bicyclists are taken nearly four times more than white bicyclist for not wearing a helmet. but the data represents under 300 total tickets to black cyclists given out over 13 years. and some of the people who were ticketed were homeless, most likely riding stolen bikes, which a cop at the moment that they gave out the ticket. nevertheless, it was enough for the whole king county board of health by a vote of 11-2 to repeal the law because they say the research cited that "racism

and enforcement came as a result of that. the research doesn't actually show disproportionately targeted anybody. it doesn't say why the numbers are and it doesn't say that getting a pass for it. they make up the majority of the tickets and all it shows as black cyclist in seattle happen to wear helmets as much as the white bicyclist. that is all it shows. whites were ticketed, by the way ten times more often -- if this was intended to be a law, to your point, go ahead and oppose this law for legitimate reasons and focus on personal responsibility. that is a legitimate argument but the law is absurd so apply it in this way. the majority of gang members in the state of washington are black and latino peer that means arrests associated with gang violence disproportionately impact blacks and latinos. so, get ready for enforcements, going after the leaders because

no, course it is observed. >> tucker: why all this self-hatred come, the bottomless well. it will be interesting to know, jason rantz, great to see you tonight, thank you. >> thanks tucker. >> tucker: the purpose of the university professors to encourage free speech and independence. as it weren't, no. dissent is crushed so dan patrick lieutenant governor of the great state of texas and he thought about this problem a lot and believes he has the solution. lieutenant governor of texas joins us. thank you for coming on, appreciate it. so tenure, do you think it has fulfilled its purpose? >> so about a week ago, the faculty council at the university of texas, they said that they are going to change critical race theory. and then they followed up with

something that really got my attention. they said, the council takes the position and this resolution, that the full authority shall never, ever any intrusion, anyone outside, including the legislature for the board of regents. in other words, you can't tell us anything about how we perform our job, what we teach the students, or what we say. and i thought "just who are these people to think somehow academic freedom, which we support gives them the ability to be unaccountable to anyone, including the taxpayers, including the board of regents," we talk about critical race theory a lot but people sometimes don't understand the difference. we want race to be talked about as republicans, myself as lieutenant governor. i want slavery to be examined. i want racism in america to be examined through the year is whether private sector business

sector, in sports, but critical race theory doesn't teach that. it teaches that because you are white, you are a racist. because you are a person of color, you are a victim. they want to teach critical race theory that we are a nation that is racist and everything is based on racism here that is what critical race theory is. and that is what we cannot allow to teach the young men and women in the university. we ban in texas k-12 this year. >> tucker: it is a racial attack. why don't you just fire anybody who pushes racial attacks in a publicly funded university and they can use something like a delivery van? >> they were something called tenure. once you get tenure it comes every six years. no matter what you do. no matter how bad you are. no matter what you do. they can't fire you. there is some cause, but it never happens. so once they get tenure, they can say and do anything in the classroom they want. remember, these are people making a lot of money, most of them on average teach two or

three classes a week or semester. they don't work really hard, but it is almost impossible to fire them. so what i propose does this: we will end tenure. no more tenure for the new hires and for all the tenured professors now that are reviewed every six years, they will be reviewed every year. and one of the reasons for because that you could be fired is if you teach critical race theory. we have to stop this attack on white america and black america and brown america. this is the most divisive thing we have ever seen in my lifetime. tucker, i'm old enough to be around what i remember as a kid color fountains and white mountains. there were terrible times in our society. we must teach a new society about that but we don't walk into a classroom and we don't want a professor to say by the way, you are white and a racist. that is a way you were born, normal and that is who you are in you, color, you are a victim and you depend on that. that is not america not what we

stand on. >> tucker: these are the least impressive most poisonous people in our society and they are the ones guaranteed jobs? >> no one gets a guaranteed job in america. no one. >> tucker: especially pushing racist discrimination. they should be fired. i appreciate you coming on. thank you. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: so, politicians referred me to hyperventilate, pushing hysteria about ukraine. it is not a democracy. and victor hansen joins us in a moment. ♪ ♪ jamaica. heartbeat of the world. let's go!

♪ ♪ >> well, today declaring himself king of canada, justin trudeau announced he is going to sanction russia and the name of "protecting democracy in ukraine" and also announced -- what is going on here? can anybody speak in an honest sentence?

>> yeah, when you get 20 years of putins role, we know that he has desired to restore the border of the soviet union. but it is hard for him because he has 100 million people and lost about 25% or 30% of the territory, some of it very rich. so why did he in 2008 go into georgia were white and 2014 did he not go into western ukraine and crimea and excuse me why eastern ukraine and he may go into western ukraine now? i think it is better since that is a concept to look at us, us being with the what if and particularly the united states? in the united states is not dependent on oil and the price is moderate worldwide putin doesn't have a lot of cash and we are not desperate for not doing what we are doing now begging him for oil. when you start to restrict it as we did in 2014, as we didn't

have it in 2008 and we went down by almost 3 million barrels in one year, we are vulnerable. that waves the flag and putin gets an appetite. the second thing is when nato, remember, tucker, it's got 1 billion people and economy eight times larger than russia. when it meets its defense commitments and most people pay the 2% and turkey and germany, which are the two largest countries in nato like the united states better than they do russia. and russia more than us. then putin seems to stay where he is. finally and most importantly, when the united states is confident in the united states talks softly, but it has capability rather than loudly with a twig, putin is deterred. so if you are barack obama's and you call and say russians can't do anything, and they are incompetent but at the same time you invite him into the

middle east or -- you are joe biden and calling a killer or a bully but then begging him to say, oh, put 16 entities off of your list for us or skedaddle from afghanistan. then you've got problems. and that is where we are. so come up we know what putin is and we know what he does, but we are very erratic and we don't follow a proven protocol that would convince putin and cost bennett analysis to stay within the borders. we don't have a lot of oil, and they are pretty confident, the world crisis is stable. nato seems to have it together. the united states is very careful, sober, judicious but enormous confidence and power. yet, we violated all of those and more so in the last year. >> tucker: it just seems like it is going to be difficult to talk back from this ledge of

principle that the biden administration has destructed. i'm not sure what the principle is. do you know in 25 seconds that we have left? >> i think the principles a word and i'm a realist, i think the principle is simply pump three more million barrels of oil quickly and get more in the market. stop demonizing him and start showing strength. get germany and turkey back as members of nato. and don't call him a killer unless you can back it up. we are not going to back it up. so that is what has caused peace. 20 years and he's only done this three years. speed went that is an entirely fair principle worth defending. victor hansen, great to see you. thank you. we will be back. >> thank you.
