it's the neocons and neo libs working together to make sure that every single voice in this country, anybody who has got a platform is spowding their narrative that they want people to see and hear. their propaganda. and this is what is so dangerous about the place that we are in right now. as a country. where this idea, this principle, this foundation of freedom of speech. freedom of expression is directly under threat and under attack. you are right. it's not so different. what is happening here is not different than what is happening in russia. where you have state tv and state controlled messaging across the board.

themed is not about rinos and the republican war mongers, and neocons. really? neocons. know that is democrats,. jewish democrats who switched over to reagan because they supported his approach to soviet union, this is used potentially to create -- who is behind this. this. jewish intellectuals. nobody is accusing you of anti-semitism. as for the washington war machine, there is no washington war machine. the united states military is being depleted of resources, the men and women in military are not treated with respect as fighting men and women, they are taught critical race theory. there is a washington war machine. the opposite would be done. have there been blundering in our foreign policy? yes, but there is no collusion or conspiracy between federal contractors, neocons and washington war machine, the events in the past have nothing to do with that vladimir putin is doing today. the attacks on zelenskyy, the president of ukraine, i don't know. you can hear them echoed by syrian dictator assad. he calls him a zionist jew who supporting the nazis . he proclaims. they

of iraq, if you question anything the neocons wanted to do it. your patriotism was impugned. you were on the other side. you were an ally of the terrorists. all ofnd that rhetoric and that the same rhetoric. nowor the amazing thingma is its the same borra, you know, david frum and nicolle wallace and matthew dowd and bill kristol and max boot, all these, neocons who back then we're doing this and made themselves the enemy of the country, they ended up in complete disrepute by the end of the second bush cheney term are now back in the saddle doing it on behalf of democrats on their cable networks, on their newspapers, op ed pages. and it's like people just have no historical memory. they cheer for these people because they rehabilitated themselves by opposing trump and that's all they know. and it's like the neocons have become the most influential forcemo again in american forein policy debates, as though iraq and the axis of the war on terror never happened. yeah, some of us evolved afterr. those first few years of the iraq war . now i want to p

bush is reelected in november 2004 with the nascent fiasco and iraq, he distances himself from the neocons. paul wolfowitz and douglas feith leave office more or less voluntarily. donald rumsfeld remains at the pentagon for one more year . dick cheney continues to serve as vice president george w bush was no eve as hell. chaney knows how to get george bush to pull out is 45 pistol, the stark shooting and i do not know how to get him to put it back in its holster when he finally figured it out and fire donal roseville and he make no mistake. he fired him. cheney was apoplectic. he had the gall to fire his man. well, it also meant cheney was being found out, the process not even listening to a, any rock. the spiral of violence continues unabated, firmly found on is darnell bullard im, chickamauga via yano. some americans abused the rockies on a chart that was when they came on tv to announce, i've killed 2000 to rocky will and i've killed 7 of them. i've killed 30 clotty shovels and they would never brought to court. how come with them when i ultimately, um, rekey, i know a lot of that i own

totally different from the neocon i die out one —- ideology to remake the world according to a masterlan with the washington dc think tank. that's not what we are talking about ukraine and russia. this is about confronting aggression. we can see what happens when we don't confront crime. we get more crime if we react to putin seeing it from the criminal point of view into go easy on them it is hopeless it just incentivizes more violence. and some people might say that is true if we stay out of the war and encourage a peace deal were preaching gets what he wants maybe then he would be incentivized to it invade another country if it's not america why should we care quick. >> because at that point it is a completely lawless world where real regimes do whatever they want especially with nuclear weapons. which obviously more come one —- countries will try to get to join in the black male. that is bad for america just like a lawless city is bad for those who live there. one of the reasons america is one of the world's leading nation because america leads. the world highest living standards

but if you point that out in public, or many failures hillary clinton's and the neocon foreign policyy'll say it was in america's national interest. they'll just call you a traitor. here's hillary clinton on a podcast yesterday. >> the russian government broadcast tucker carlson because of what he says in support of putin or casting doubt on those who are seeing with our own eyes what putin is doing. >> it's the left-wing apologies for communism the last century, their behavior comes out of something similar. their dislike of their own country the united states, the nature of modern america, is so strong that they are looking for alternatives anywhere, even if those are autocratic alternatives. >> tucker: [chuckling] she's a foreign policy expert? trust us, we are in trouble. what's interesting are the people who genuinely loathe the anthem who won't stand for the national anthem, who will tell you that this country is born in sin and iniquity and you should feel ashamed for living here. exactly the people who criticize the terrible foreign policy decisions as a traitor to america. th

we saw more peace accords, more conditions-based withdrawals of these never-ending wars by the neoconsrying to prop up this military industrial base that we were warned about. now, what do we see? we see joe biden and america as the weakest national security we have ever faced in our lives. what do we have? we have the failed withdrawal in afghanistan, where thousands of americans were purposely left behind. how i know this? because my team and i conducted the very first successful overland rescue of a mother and her three children out of afghanistan after the fall and the taliban hunting them down. [applause] i paused my campaign for six weeks. why? because there is no price to doing the right thing. what we see in america today? we see north korea with hydro sonic ballistic missiles, russian technology advancing, china has now surpassed us with a naval fleet -- a naval fleet threatening taiwan. now, we have the russian invasion. or i should say the re-invasion, because the exact same thing happened under the obama-biden administration. they went into command. yet, we are supposed to

but if you point that out in public for many failures, hillary clinton's and the neocon foreign policy establishment more broadly they have a response. they used to be maybe they would try to defendd what they did or explain what was in america's national interest i. now they just call you inter a traitor. here's hillary clinton sayinges that on a podcast yesterday. >> the russian government even broadcast tucker carlson who appears on fox news because ofon what he says in support of putin or casting doubt on thosen who are seeing with our own eyes what putin is doing. it evokes the role of left wing apologists for communism, you know, in the last century.sm and i think their behavioror comes out of c something simila, their dislike of their own country of the united states, the nature of modern america is so strong that they are looking for alternatives anywhere, even if those are autocratic alternatives e and this is a foreign policy expert. trust us , we're in trouble. but what's so interesting is the people who legitimately loathe america who won't stand for the national anthem, wh

this is a perfect storm of left wingers and right wingers, neil collins and left neocons and the the strangle hold on speech. here in the united states, i have never seen anything like it. you know, 10 i was thinking exactly the same thing is that, you know, it particularly on cable tv, you know, its about scoring points for your team. and it's all about how you feel about trump, or, or biden. and you know, you're creating a put no to all of it. ok, because they're not interested in ukraine. they're interested in scoring points and they're interested in preserving their ideological outlook. go ahead 10. i couldn't agree more. i couldn't agree more. and you look at the headlines, for example, in new york times, and it accuses president of engaging in conspiracy theory. when he talks about zelinski is remarks at the munich security conference this year. when he said that he was going to revisit the budapest men or memorandum on the dean nuclear ization of ukraine. which is, i mean, that's a kind of spell i right there. i'm sorry, that is a legitimate concern for a government on their b

but again, they editorial eyes they bring in these neocons that have never fought a war in their life. they bring in people who have lost wars and don't know how to fight them. and that handful of people that have actually thought wars and know what they're about, they come on and they get shouted down because they don't tell the politically correct story. i again, this is it's, it's i maintained for months that this was a wagon dog up ation. because it was all so fake on the western end. and when i was really moved in, i wonder whether the french public or the european public is subjected to this kind of wave of over perception management. and whether they are as swooning downward as the american public has been. maybe john, john, you want to address that? go ahead. john. well, it varies from country to country. in britain, the hysteria is probably worse, i think, than even in, in the united states in france. it's pretty high, but much less high in germany, it's very high and so on. so it varies from country to country. and so there's no doubt that the overwhelming balance is with, o

i mean, look at victoria new and her husband, robert kagan is one of the neocon fathers that, that, that pushed the lien and to be iraq war. so things in washington don't change. i will say that at least there is, this means one voice on the main and i know just by mentioning it on r t, there will be some russian media is covering what tucker carlson says, well it's, i think there's a reason that his show is so popular, yeah, and that it's the only one that is questioning these, these narratives because that's actually what the people in the united states want . peter, i don't think anyone. that's also why r t was popular for a time in the united states because when it provided the counter narrative, that's actually what the people are hungry for, and the elite are scared. they don't have to have that. i'm glad you brought that. i let me go to scott in nashville, i mean that this is an elite concern. this is not a concern of, you know, if you ask people what they're concerned about, they're concerned about inflation and things like that. but this isn't a lead issue here. it's but, and yo

this is a perfect storm of left wingers and right wingers, neil collins and left neocons and the strangle hold on speech. here in the united states, i have never seen anything like it. you know, ted, i was thinking exactly the same thing is that, you know, it particularly on cable tv, you know, its about scoring points for your team. and it's all about how you feel about trump, or, or biden. and you know, ukraine is put no to all of it. ok, because they're not interested in ukraine. they're interested in scoring points and they're interested in preserving their ideological outlook. go ahead 10. i couldn't agree more. i couldn't agree more. and you look at the headlines, for example, in new york times, and it accuses president of engaging in conspiracy theory. when he talks about the last remarks at the munich security conference this year, when he said that he was going to revisit the budapest men or memorandum on the dean nuclear ization of ukraine, which is, i mean, that's a cause is spell i right there. i'm sorry, that is a legitimate concern for a government on their border. and presi

we went in anyway. besides your military, industrial complex, or neocons, like the dick cheney's and the lockheed martin's of the world. no one wants a war. because at the end of it all, we don't want another world war. and another 2nd last on that doomsday o'clock. we begin tonight at the european union where you lawmakers are weighing in on slapping more sanctions against russia as the conflict and ukraine rages on for a more in depth look at what could be in store. here's our t, charlotte davinsky and paris reviews this war in ukraine from very different i used to how it's being seen in moscow. we know that you is said to be preparing even more sanctions against russia in the wake of this war. this invasion as they describe it in you in ukraine, and they say that the sanctions have already had a massive impact on the russian economy. we know that the rubel has tanked in the last few days and that there are many people trying to get hold of a savings at banks and saying that they can't do that. however, the europeans have also wound that the sanctions while they are heating russia

now we have this document from the carnegie endowment of international peace and neocon operation no doubt. the federal contractor is behind this. putin is not so secret mercenaries and the wagner group this is the wagner group up until now you probably have never heard of before. just a few points moscow first to point wagner in ukraine when the kremlin needed to fight casualties from the public to mitigate the international repercussions of a neighbor sovereignty as a tactic with deep roots in russian history during the cold war. by using so-called volunteers moscow reduce the active-duty personnel and conceal their presence initially. the recruitment of these groups happen quickly in 2014 and the kremlin turned to private and state actors to finance the efforts. russia's covert war sparked alarm over instruments of subversion back in 2014 which are often lumped together as a hybrid warfare that it may secretly deploy a wagner or other places in the post-soviet space to destabilize the country through some version. by using mercenaries as it did in ukraine moscow would hope to sell

he distances himself from the neocons. paul wolfowitz and douglas fife leave office more or less voluntarily. donald rumsfeld remains at the pentagon for one more year . dick cheney continues to serve as vice president george w bush was no eve as hell. dick cheney knows how to get george bush to pull out is 45 pistol start shooting, and i do not know how to get him to put it back in its holster when he finally figured it out and far dol roseville and he make no mistake. he fired him. cheney was apoplectic. he had the gall to fire his me. well, it also meant cheney was being found out. the process not even listening to oh, any rock, the spiral of violence continues unabated. firmly find any is darnell bullard, im shipple darby a yano. some americans abused the iraqis. alicia, that was they came on t v to announce i killed 2000 iraq. you actually will at killed 7 of them was i've killed 32 lateesha halls and they were never brought to poor hakama tamala ultima lou other america yano villa. but that i own with hollow rod bagh

digging in their heels, and are going to say this is nato, and the ne-yo liberals - neoliberals and neocons, it's all the same now, destabilizing the world and bringing the globe to the brink of world war iii. i want to clarify the moment in which certain people were maybe in the middle, may be undecided on which side of the liberal-illiberal divide they wanted to be on. some of them may decide this is a bridge too far. we may see some defections, but unfortunately, i think it's going to be more of the same. >> will this be a bridge too far? of course not. [laughter] >> there he is. [applause] >> i expanded on that in a political magazine, so you can read that. when i say of course not, it won't be a bridge too far for republicans who will always revert to the mean. it's because when you look at some of these polls, and relies 80% of republicans agree with trump, we are talking about 26% of the electorate. this would be a good moment to be hopeful about the fundamental decency and common sense of the american people as they absorb all this. and donald trump has made it clear one of his key

people because they rehabilitated themselves by opposing trump and that's all they know, it's like the neoconave become the most influentia force again in american foreign policy. >> some of us evolved of those first few years of the iraq war. i want to play something that the secretary of state was aske today. >> while putin is in power can there be no relations between russia and the united states? >> again, our focuses on ending this war. i don't want to speculate about the future, but there's going t have to be one way or another accountability for this war of aggression. >> what was your take on that answer? >> what kind of accountability can you do. the reality is the general war crimes prosecution switches and the air are generally only for weaker countries. the united states would never make its leaders available for work crimes for invading iraq without a cause, for destroying that country, for bombing civilians. though i think it reflects the question and the answer, the reality that a lot of us kind o opposed russia gate because it was obviously a cia attempt to manufacture a scand

maybe you are a neocon.ontractors or what other things you are accused of. this isn't to libya. it's not afghanistan. it's not a rack. it's not vietnam. it's russia. we know what putin wants to do. he wrote it last july. read it. 5,000 words long. it's long. he obviously had help writing it, but he's made it abundantly clear that it's not just ukraine, it's polling. not just hungary, it's romania. he's essentially said that. why is it that the leaders in those countries, all of who are rather conservative, some of them you would even say is right wing, agree with you and me, not the republican party and the democrat party -- people are tired of being called that? stop acting like that! if you have a rational foreign policy that suggest we close our eyes to this, we come down might become ostriches, explain your foreign policy. i find many other people who are making excuses here or making that case as best as they can which is very weak were also against the donald trump when he took out solemani. you see th

digging in their heels, and are going to say this is nato, and the ne-yo liberals - neoliberals and neoconsit's all the same now, destabilizing the world and bringing the globe to the brink of world war iii. i want to clarify the moment in which certain people were maybe in the middle, may be undecided on which side of the liberal-illiberal divide they wanted to be on. some of them may decide this is a bridge too far. we may see some defections, but unfortunately, i think it's going to be more of the same. >> will this be a bridge too far? of course not. [laughter] >> there he is. [applause] >> i expanded on that in a political magazine, so you can read that. when i say of course not, it won't be a bridge too far for republicans who will always revert to the mean. it's because when you look at some of these polls, and relies 80% of republicans agree with trump, we are talking about 26% of the electorate. this would be a good moment to be hopeful about the fundamental decency and common sense of the american people as they absorb all this. and donald trump has made it clear one of his key go

neocons in d.c. were highly distressed.perative rodney baron wrote this, this would've been biden's tear down the wall moment, but for staffers watering down the meaning afterward. a few hours ago, biden once again stepped in front of the microphone and reaffirmed that the words that actually slipped out of his mouth this weekend are actually officially u.s. policy. here is joe biden. >> do you believe what you said, that putin cannot remain in power, or do you regret saying that, because your government has been trying to walk that back. does your words complicate matters? >> you asked three different questions and i'll answer them all. number one, i'm not walking anything back. >> so regime change in russia is now our policy. that's what the president of united states has just told us. and as he did, he reviewed the people who worked with him, they spend all week correcting statements that he makes up on the fly and hasn't thought through in any way. purely a reaction of, hey, would be the long-term effects of what you ar

always come in the matter what the neocons may tell you. this is a war we are paying for it.s is a war with moral implications. this is a war the white house is involved in at every level. so when the ukrainian government does something, we have an interest in knowing exactly what it is and what it means. but more than anything, we have an overriding interest in the moral obligation to keep the united states free. when you see them admire someone shutting down any opposition to him, you should mishima one of the bravest people on twitter relatively braving the truth no matter what the response is. in the meantime, he's a broadcaster and journalist bear we are grateful to have him join us. thank you so much for coming end. >> pleasure. >> tucker: you said in the very beginning that you are against putin, strongly against putin for years because of other conflicts in the middle east. so your bone bone a >> thank you for that,tucker. during the arab uprisings, in particular regard to syria, there are videos of me online speaking about putin in terms that people i'm sure today wo

you have to realize you're worth >>> mitt romney lives in a worl where he and other trumpet neocons like liz cheney actuall believe that they are fighting valiantly for freedom. and of course they believe that america first conservatives are dangerous to our democratic system. this is the gist of what he tol a group of big donors at a liz cheney fundraiser in northern virginia last night. according to cbs news romney delivered remarks as a warning for the group which included many long-time members of the republican establishment of an extraordinary challenge in preserving democracy. joining me now is a conservativ commentator and host of the podcast. let me try to figure this out. if republicans wipe out the democrats in november, which we certainly hope they do, will that be preserving democracy or does it depend on the type of republicans who win? >> we suddenly ended this twilight zone in which the normal competition between the two parties and the fact that you even have an opposition party, the republicans, and the fact that they oppose the democrats on most issues is treated as a

it's the neocons and neo libs working together to make sure that every single voice in this country,ho has got a platform is spowding their narrative that they want people to see and hear. their propaganda. and this is what is so dangerous about the place that we are in right now. as a country. where this idea, this principle, this foundation of freedom of speech. freedom of expression is directly under threat and under attack. you are right. it's not so different. what is happening here is not different than what is happening in russia. where you have state tv and state controlled messaging across the board. this is where we are at. jess it worked so well for them during covid. if you questioned anything, they wanted to knock you off social media, they wanted to get you in trouble because you were seen as a danger to other people. now they are trying the same playbook with the war in ukraine. if ask any questions. if you say hey maybe the no-fly zone is not such a great idea or express any sort of reservation about launching into a land war in asia, that's now something we are not a

every war always nopeg with thea neocons may tell you. t but this is a war that we are paying for. this is a war with moral implications. this is a war the white house is involved in at every level. so when the ukrainian government does something wekraa have an interest in knowing exactly what it is and what itwh means. but more than anything, we have no overriding interest, any moral obligation h to keepe the united states free. so when you see themtate admire someone shutting down any opposition to him, you should post machine was is one of the bravest people on twittere relentlessly telling the truth no matter what the response is, dallas will be bounced off of there at some point. but in the meantime, he's bynt the way,im broadcaster and a journalist. we're grateful to have him g jon us . thank you so much for coming. so pleasure you you've said from the very beginning i mean, you were against putin strongly for years because y of other conflicts in the middle east. so you're not ofse fezzes o have noin guy are blemish.bo we're pointing outut that starting with suko because let

there is an old strain of kind of like militarist neocon -- you know that they're leaning into.t's almost unanimous. but there is an appetite amongst certain part of the base for matt gates, madison cawthorn, you saw with jimmy vance, marjorie taylor greene, you see it on the internet for this kind of putin's sympathetic view, the ukraine summit a country. a ridiculous. the question, is how big that, is and how much tension is that going to put on the politics of the coalition? >> yeah, it's anti-anti-putin -ism. that's what's really going on in those spaces. it's because they can't really easily dispense of the villain stay -- the course she, types the joe biden types. it doesn't fit in the box. in that narrative. that vladimir putin isn't that bad of a guy, and all the stuff. all these things that they were talking about over the last few years. now he's just a bad man whose murdering children in the street, chilling hospitals, shelling things marked children on the outside of them. that is what's going on here. the fox news cinematic universe that exists with their bad guys,

this is what happens when you have the isolationists, what i call the neocon artists, out there talkingut how we are the instigators. this is what happens when he undermined the united states' military. this is what happens or the like democrats. let's be honest about it. a lot of false pied piper's saying what does ukraine have to do a better america question mike i don't know. what does south korea have to do with america or taiwan have to do with america or israel or venezuela or cuba or any of the rest of them. they have everything to do with america. because once the genocidal maniacs got head wenda, they don't stop. but i want to be clear thinking sober about this. russia has not been defeated. period. ukrainians need our help now and a lot of it. we don't have to send in troops. we don't have to do a no-fly zone. just arm them with what they need. so they can kill these pastors. that's it. >> sean: stingers and javelins. that's the answer. and throughout this entire long buildup they had the opportunity to arm them so they can fight back themselves are the world just turned a bli

he is the husband, the founder of the new american century, the neocon group. who benefits from this? the world cannot experience a world war iii with nuclear weapons. ukraine is lost. just as we went to iraq and afghanistan, bolivia, syria, yemen. ukraine will be a loss. are we going to give up the entire world for the sake of ukrainians? my heart bleeds for them, just like it did for the iraqis and afghani's. but we cannot allow troops on the ground because that would escalate. russia is a proud country. if it gets cornered, it will send out its weapons. i was told that it has more nuclear weapons. for every city in america, there are two nuclear heads that would be targeted for that. and then we are going to tell china not to get involved but we are getting involved by sanctioning. putin is a dictator. you draw the line with nato alliances and you keep it there. ukraine is not one of those red lines that you have to draw. regardless of whether they use a biological weapon. we use biological weapons. we gave saddam hussein the weapon that he used on the kurds

look i think there's an interesting conversation happening right now between what you would say the neocons and those who are very concerned about escalating any sort of invasion or the process in place, for example, the no fly zone where you see the nato allies, many of them, forest own yeah saying yes, let's put in the flow fly zone, other nato allies and america saying no because they are worried this would lead to a full fledged war so that is where i think there's a lot of this tension that's happening, which is how far can you go beyond economic sanctions and providing humanitarian relief to try to stop putin, because the reality is, is there is no stopping putin and they don't want to escalate this into a nuclear war scenario. we just, you just reported about the united nations saying that it is in the realm that there could be a nuclear war. that's, you know, talk about the destruction of the globe. that's where it would end. david: well, i think larry nailed it. just lead, don't just follow what putin does. lead, for god sakes, lead. mercedes we've got to leave it there i can talk
