BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
Well, Tucker, let's face it. The CIA is a black hole. we don't really know what goes into it and we're not really sure what comes out of it other than destruction. You know, wherever the CIA dabbles and moves in, we end up with subversion, revolution, disintegration. That's everything we touch, literally. That's why it was such a stroke of genius to get rid of USAID.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
USAID was helping to fund all the nonsense along with National Endowment for Democracy. Thank God for those things. But I don't know about the gentleman Radcliffe who is in charge of the CIA. I don't know what his March orders are, but we have a very serious problem over there. This has been operating for a very long time. in isolation from any accountability and any real oversight.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
So that needs to be stripped down to the bare bolts and find out what's really happening over there. Everybody talks about the Epstein files and all these kinds of things. I'm sure it'd be nice to know the truth about all of that, but there's much worse going on in the CIA globally, and we need to put a stop to it.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
Well, I would be very worried about our president. You know, I think the president is very much at risk. And these people seem to know no sense of limitation. They're capable of anything. So I hope the Secret Service is on its toes. I'm sure Kash Patel is well aware of this in the FBI. I just don't have any good feelings right now about the Ukrainians.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
But these are actions that we have to take, not just for ourselves, but to demonstrate to the rest of the world that we're serious. We want an end to these conflicts. We're not interested in waging war in everybody else's country. We're not interested in planting new governments that are puppet regimes in other people's countries. That's what it's about. That's what we've got to do.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
If we don't do that, we're going to eventually be dragged into a confrontation with a substantial portion of the world.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
Of course not. Of course not. But keep in mind, what about the American people? There's nobody here. We walk outside, find anybody who says, well, you know, there's a train leaving, you know, for Ukraine. You can get all your equipment, draw it right there in the train station, get on and go and fight Ukraine. See how many people show up. Oh, well, why don't we bomb Iran?
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
Would you like to be part of the strike package? We have a seat for you in a B2 and you can watch the bombs go off. Would you like to do that? Nobody wants to do that. There's no interest in this country in any of that crap. But people in this country are damn well interested in what's happening on the Mexican border. And I just spent three days down there.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
And they're damn well interested in what's happening in Mexico because they know that that is a cesspool of barbarism, savagery, criminality. And that's our existential threat. Not China, not Russia, not Iran, not anywhere. We can manage those things. President Trump can manage those things. This thing down on the Mexican border is really at a boiling point. We need to understand that.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
Tell me, what does that mean? Well, what it means is that the cartels run everything. I mean, we hear about this President Scheinbaum in Mexico. Forget it. You know, she controls, what, 40 square kilometers in Mexico City. This whole thing is an organized crime state. Everyone in Mexico knows the truth.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
know if you go to mexico city my my oldest son was just down there for a month and he speaks very fluent spanish and he was talking to lots of people and he loved the place love mexico city loves mexicans but they'll tell you flat out well don't go there and don't go here and don't go there and don't ride in this cab and don't take this automobile don't go to that airport
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
Everybody knows the truth. Everybody knows who operates what, who controls what. And if you navigate through this maze of invested power of the cartels, you can survive. But if you accidentally cross into their territory and are seen as a potential problem in any way, shape, or form, you're dead. But at the same time, you've got whole...
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
Families of these cartels, people that work for them that are being treated for dental needs, medical problems, whatever else. I mean, you join the cartel, you get free healthcare. You get all of this. It's bizarre, but it's real. And you pointed out the weapons going down there are serious.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
I was down there, and we talked to several people who were border patrolmen, also talked to some Texas Guard people, and said, we just go 100 yards on the other side into Mexico, and behind the ridgeline over there, you'll see all the weapons, all the RPGs, the Javelin missile systems that have found their way to Mexico. Javelin missile systems? Oh, yeah, yeah, we've got it.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
They've got those things over there. From Ukraine? Yeah, sure. Well, we sent over, I don't know how many, what, a thousand of them? And several hundred were captured by the Russians. And then I'm sure several were sold on the black market. I mean, about 50% of everything that showed up there ended up somewhere that didn't belong. Yeah. It's just one huge corrupt industry in Ukraine.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
I think they're done, they're finished, they've lost the war. So all of these are sort of acts of vengeance, if you will, last resort. Hurl whatever you have as deep as you can into Russia and just kill, murder, maim as many Russians as possible. But to what end? Well, to harm Russians and then try to create the illusion that there is some hope for them.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
And the longer we feed it cash, the worse it will get. So you've got to starve it of cash, starve it of ammunition, and end it. Ukrainian people will ultimately thank you for it. They've had enough. I don't care what various people say. They're tired of it.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
I think the Russians have lost—well, when they say Russians, let's put it this way. The Russians, 90,000 to 100,000 dead. They may have lost another 10,000 to 20,000 non-Russians from within the military establishment. And that's one of the great achievements, by the way, of President Putin, has been to weld this force together that includes large numbers of Muslim Turks and
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
who are extremely competent fighters, very tough. In fact, the Chechen fighters are cleaning out Kursk right now, Kursk Oblast, because the Ukrainians made a mistake. They hurled large numbers of drones down into Chechnya and killed a number of people, and that just lit a fuse that is now exploding.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
I certainly don't. No normal man wants to fight the Turks, period.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
Never, ever. Absolutely not. And there's a good, healthy relationship right now between the Muslims and the Orthodox Christians.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
It's a very positive thing. He's done that very well. There's a lot to be learned from that. I think we could do something similar in some respects. But having said that, the problem is right now— 100,000 plus 10 to 20,000 of the others, that's about it. But on the Ukrainian side, I can certainly account through the various sources I trust for 1.2 million dead Ukrainian soldiers. Dead? Dead.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
She thinks it's 10 to 1. Oh, easily. And that's because over the last year... Well, that is just... Shocking. Yeah, but over the last year, it's grown. In other words, the losses have just tripled and quadrupled every day. You know, you can watch people like Larry Johnson and Scott Ritter and others. They all have different numbers and different sources, but they all agree.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
1.2 million is about right. There are some who think 1.5 million is closer. Dead. Yes. And what happens at the end of wars?
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
There's nothing left. That's why the notion that they can build anything now is ridiculous. And how many millions are overseas? What, 15 to 20 million have left the country? There are 2 million plus Ukrainians in Russia. and probably 15 plus million in the West. And most of them have made it clear they have no intention of ever going back.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
So this is killed, for all intents and purposes, for the foreseeable future, the Ukrainian nation. But these things happen at the end of wars. Most of the Germans killed in the military towards the end of the Second World War were killed in the last nine months. Max Hastings wrote a book about it. I can't remember the exact title.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
It wasn't perfect, but it wasn't a bad illustration of what was going on. When armies are retreating and they've lost their air and missile defense, they've lost their logistics. In other words, the units are breaking down because they can't feed themselves. They can't protect themselves.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
So it becomes not immediately every man for himself, but the units try to fight their way through to get back home. And that's what the Ukrainians have done. But as they're doing that, the problem today is with all of these unmanned systems and the surveillance that the Russians have, they can be killed in great numbers as they're running away, as they're leaving.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
that they can somehow or another mobilize more manpower and put more forces into the field. They can't. They're really scraping the bottom of the barrel. I think the issue right now is the following. The Russians have the initiative, strategic initiative. This war is effectively at an end as far as they're concerned in terms of having won it. They now have to make some decisions.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
And they're not running away because they're cowards. Nobody will tell you the Ukrainians are cowards. It's absolutely unacceptable. These are very brave, courageous people, just like the Russians. But they have no chance. And so they're being driven in front of the advancing Russians. And people say, well, why are the Russians advancing so slowly?
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
Because from the very beginning, Putin has not wanted to kill large numbers of Orthodox Christian Slavs. It's not been his aim.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
Oh, my, look at these... Look at these bio labs. Isn't that pretty clear from what we've seen? It's pretty clear.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
And if you kill large numbers of Ukrainians, I think for many of the people behind this, that was seen as a collateral damage or even a bonus. I hate to make that point.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
Well, I think there's some positive things in there, but we're missing the boat with the Russians again. We don't understand that if Ukraine is going to be neutral, why are we continuing to supply it with weapons at this stage? It's the Ukrainians that have to stop fighting. The Russians will stop when they see evidence that the Ukrainian force is defeated or quits.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
That hasn't happened yet, not with these attacks that just occurred over Moscow. So the Russians are asking the question, you're the ones keeping this monster alive. You created the monster, the monster is fatally wounded, and you keep putting it on life support. Do you really want an end to this war?
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
I mean, imagine if we were dealing with a similar enemy in Mexico and we found out that the Russians and the Chinese had provided vast quantities of equipment and assistance to the Mexicans who were trying to fight us and regain control of the Southwest. And we defeated them and driven them back out of the country. And... They refuse to stop. They continue to fight.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
We say, well, if you want this war to end, tell them to stop fighting, put down their weapons, and back out. And if they won't do that, then we have to do what? March into Mexico and crush them. I mean, this is the best analogy that I can come up with to make people understand what we're dealing with. So if you want normalized relations with Russia— Go back to what we said at the beginning.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
So you have to put yourself not so much in the place of Zelensky. He's irrelevant. The Russians are not surprised by what he's done. I think they're surprised that we haven't intervened to try and stop it. That's what I think they're surprised about. So what they want now, the Russians, is an end to this nonsense. They have several options.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
End the military support for this heinous regime. This is guilty of all sorts of terrible war crimes anyway. All the things that Russia was accused of are things that the Ukrainians have done. So let's get out of this.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
You stop supplying it and get our people out of Ukraine. Make it very clear we're out of this. No more weapons, no more cash. We're finished. The British and the French can't come in and make up for that. Neither can the Germans. So that's all nonsense. You saw this Euro summit. They're going to assemble, what, almost a trillion dollars to beef up defense in these countries. Good luck.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
I don't see that occurring in Europe at all. Because the average Europeans are saying, for what? They look at what's happening and they no longer believe this myth. The Russians are coming. The Russians are coming. You know, the Russians are coming. They're going to be on I-95 in northern Jersey tomorrow night. Come on. The Russians are coming.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
Well, they said that Lyndon Johnson was like, well, if we don't kill them here now in Vietnam, we're going to be fighting them in Los Angeles. So we got to get them now. Come on, that was ridiculous. I heard General Abizaid make the same stupid statement in 2004. Well, we have to kill these Islamist terrorists here in Iraq or we'll be fighting them in our own country. It's all crap.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
It's the same old set of lies. It's sort of like the perpetual neocon narrative. It's 1936. We all have to band together. There's another Hitlerite on the horizon. You know, this is a standard sort of gruel that is pitched to the American people over and over and over again in the Anglosphere in general, whether it's Great Britain or Australia. It's all nonsense.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
They now have concentrations of forces in the northeastern part of Ukraine and down in the southeastern part. They can move at will at any time. They have enough force they can cross in Kherson. They can take Odessa. They can move forward and straight into Kiev. Whatever they do, they have to ask themselves, how far do we want to go to guarantee our security as Russians?
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
We've got to get past this and once and for all bury it. If we really want this to stop, this is not about winning or losing. I think that's another problem. You know, we've got to make sure this is a win for the president. A win for the president is an end to this war, period. Number two, what are our interests in Ukraine? Tell me what they are.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
What are the strategic interests that justify intervention in that country? Time's up. There are none. We've never had any interest in Ukraine whatsoever. We wish them well. We want them to be happy and prosperous. But we have never had any interest in defending them against anybody under any circumstances. We've got to get back to what's rational, not what's emotional.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
The president just needs to look at this and say, we need to stop this. And he can be a world historical figure if he ends the carnage in Ukraine by simply saying, that's it, we're out. And then turns around to the Middle East and say, stop now. No more mass murder and expulsion of human beings from Gaza or the West Bank or anywhere else.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
If he's willing to do those things, he's a world historical figure. That's a dramatic sea change in the history, I would say, of the West and probably of the world. But instead, what we get is, oh, we can't do that. We'll look weak. Sort of the argument that Kissinger made to Nixon. Well, we can't just leave Vietnam. Well, that's exactly what the hell we did, right? We left.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
So, no, we got to go into Cambodia to show them that we're strong. How many people did we lose in Cambodia needlessly? It's the same mentality. Just be honest. This is over. And then tell the Europeans, these are people that we're supposedly allied with, that they need to sit down at the table with Moscow. And we're happy to be there. We'll sponsor it. We'll set them up.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
Well, you said with power. There are plenty of parties out there advocating. There are, there are. AFD, the Alternative für Deutschland, is not a far-right party. I hear that all the time. Anything that challenges the status quo is also far-right.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
It's a bunch of nonsense. They want an end to this. There's no question about it. None of this ever made sense for Germany under any circumstances.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
Yeah. The Germans have destroyed Germany, not the Russians. Oh, I know.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
And the Russians have no interest in destroying Germany. It's the ruling classes in these countries. They're globalist and they need to be removed. And they will be removed. I'm confident that it will happen. The British have not had a real revolution since Cromwell.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
But I think they've reached the point now where they very much need a Cromwellian figure to clean house because the people ruling them are weak and inept.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
I don't know. I don't know. I haven't been to Britain for many years. Really? No, I have not. I think the last time I was in Britain was 2005.

Yeah, I mean, you're talking to somebody who worships at the altar of English-speaking civilization.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
and they have never really wanted to go very far. That's never been the intent. But over time, they've been pushed more and more and more to secure more territory to protect themselves. This latest act is probably convincing Russians
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
And I don't even want to think about it. But I think there are still enough Scots, Welsh, English, and Irish there who will stand up and be counted. I'm cheered up by somebody like Conor McGregor that stands up and defends Irish national culture, identity, language, everything. All of the Europeans need to come to Jesus on this one. They need to come very, very soon.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
And that doesn't mean they're evil. It means that they're defending the one thing that is worth defending, which is their own country, their own nation, their own society. So I hope that that will happen. We need to do the same thing. And that's why I went down to the border. And again, this has nothing to do with whether you love or dislike Mexicans. I'm sorry. Mexicans are fine.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
That's not the issue.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
Yeah, everybody does.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
The bottom line, though, is that our border is the soft underbelly of the country. It's a strategic vulnerability. And what exists in Latin America, in Central America, in Mexico is very dangerous to us. And if we don't wake up and start focusing on it, it will ultimately destroy us. How many hundreds of thousands have we lost? 500,000 people to fentanyl poisoning.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
And somebody says, whoa, the Chinese, wait a minute. The Chinese ship ingredients. They're mixed down in Mexico. You don't like the fact the Chinese sold the ingredients? Fine. You can ban the Chinese from exporting to the United States. I don't care what you do. Don't go to war with China.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
The people that are mixing the poison and then mainlining it into the country, they're the cartels in Mexico. And by the way, they have a lot of support here. Their influence reaches right up into DHS all the way to Congress. There are so many people on the payroll. I'm told after my visit down to the border, it's frightening.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
Yeah. The other thing, as an example, I said, well, have we stopped everything? And, you know, you talk to sheriffs. And I went down there and talked to really a great man, and he's a huge... supporter of President Trump as I am, and I walked into his office, this building, and here's this life-size photograph of Donald Trump pointing at you. I thought it was Trump. I mean, I really did.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
I said, my God, how did the president get here ahead of all of us? It was about the same time that Vance and Tulsi and Hegseth went to Eagle Pass. And this was Kinney County, and this was Sheriff Coe. And Sheriff Coates says, oh, things have gotten so much better. You know, that's right. The optics are much better. There are no longer thousands of people marching over the border anymore. But.

BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
that they should go straight to the Dnieper River, cross into Kiev, root out this regime, root and branch, cross down south and take Odessa, and turn rump Ukraine into a landlocked country. I'm sure there are people who are arguing for that. There are other Russians who are saying, the hell with this. Let's just crush Ukraine once and for all. This is a permanent cancer.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
what about the legal ports of entry? The border patrol has nothing to do with the legal ports of entry. Those are controlled by police authorities, customs police, and others. And I said, well, what's the problem with the legal ports of entry? Well, most of the drugs and a lot of the human trafficking comes through the legal ports. I said, well, how does that happen?
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
They said, well, if somebody comes up to you and you make normally three or 4,000 a month, and they say, here's 20,000. Let us through, you get through. And that's part of the problem on the border. So I said, well, what do you think needs to happen? And people told me privately, you need to get the US Army on the border. Bring back the regular army and then rotate them.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
No, they just sent a brigade and that's fine. But we have, I think, six or seven of these brigades of motorized infantry, these light armored vehicles, put them on the border. We need 40, 50, 60,000 troops down there. We need some aviation brigades down there. Now, they don't all have to stay there forever, but they need to stay there until the barriers are built and the border is secure.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
And then we need to come up with a system where we periodically rotate units down there to back up the police, back up the border patrol. Why? Because the cartels are infinitely better armed than the police and the border patrol. They have javelin missile systems. Yes. Yes, they've got unmanned systems for ISR, for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance. They've got armed unmanned systems.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
And the thing that nobody seems to understand is what happens when we finally stop it. You stop the drugs. You stop the human trafficking along the border. Now, they're going to try and go around you. They'll try to use the coastal waters. I think the Coast Guard belongs in the United States, not in the South China Sea, not in the Persian Gulf. They belong here, and they're not.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
They need to bring them back and get them.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
Yes, yes, absolutely. We've got to get them back into the coastal waters.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
Well, not ours. Let's be frank. That's the problem. And they're going to try and find other ways. They will fly people up to North America. You know Michael Yan. He studied all of this.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
He's done great work down there at all these camps. And we, the American federal government, has actually helped to fund these nongovernmental organizations in order to sponsor millions of people to invade our country and give them phones. You know the routine.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
They're still there. Those camps are still there. Somebody needs to go down and torch those things. In other words, it needs to be scorched earth down there. Get rid of this. And you have to put the army on the border to ensure that these barriers are built and you have truly a secure border. You need the Coast Guard at sea for the same purpose. Now, once that's done, you can ratchet back.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
However, what happens when the money stops? You're in the cartels. You make billions of dollars every year. Truck loads of, you know, $800,000 in greenbacks go across the border from north to south. What happens when that stops? We'll be at war, Tucker. We'll be at war. These people aren't going to go gently into the night. We're cutting them off.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
It's not going to go away. People from the West are always going to try and go in and incite them. So let's march to the Romanian and Polish borders, right to Moldova, and be done with this. In the middle of this, it's President Putin. And President Putin is nothing if not a very judicious person. He's a very thoughtful person. This is someone who does not act impulsively. I'm sure you saw that.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
They run the country. Yeah. And of course, we have the problem with the. arguably 50 million illegals inside the United States. 30 million is what most of the people watching the borders and watching the camps down in Darien in Panama say have come into the country. And we want to deport these people. And absolutely, we need to. It will help us enormously.

Any war that breaks out today involving the United States and Russia, and whether or not we want it to be involved, Russia is involved in the Middle East. Russia is involved in Eastern Europe. Whatever happens, the war will expand. We will end up with multiple enemies arrayed against us.

China, BRICS in general, and certainly Iran and other states in the Middle East. So the first thing is all wars will expand. So don't start one under any circumstances. It will expand out of control. The second thing is he's going to discover the hard way that we are grossly overstretched and overextended.

The military, the American military establishment is in no position to fight any kind of long war. Remember we used to talk about the long war that we were supposed to fight? That was all nonsense. If you look at all of the simulations that involve us against Iran or us against any number of great powers, they all end in two weeks. Well, why does the war end in two weeks?
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
Because in two weeks, we've exhausted everything that we've got. There's no more ammunition. There are no more missiles, no more rockets. I would say in truth right now, it's closer to one week, maybe 10 days. And we don't have this scientific industrial base with manufacturing capability that is humming along 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

We can't match Russia, a nation of, what, 140 million? Imagine that economic base producing in China. China is in a position today that we were in during World War II and in the aftermath. We were the productivity giant across the world. That's China. So you can't go to war with these people. You'll be buried by them with conventional weapons and ammunition.

But they don't understand why he does not act to remove this regime, remove this man Zelensky and put a stop to it. There's this constant drumbeat about a ceasefire. Well, the Russians are highly organized and disciplined. They can stop whenever it makes sense to do so. The Ukrainians are not in the same category. They seem to be a rogue organization now.

And anyone who thinks a nuclear exchange makes sense deserves to be shipped off to the nearest asylum. And I think Trump understands that. So those first two things. Anything that we do expands out of control. Secondly, we're overstretched, overextended. Our forces are tired. They're very exhausted. The naval forces in particular have a lot of problems.

Not just them, but they're the ones that are sitting out there on the front line right now. And then on top of that, you have the Air Force. And the Air Force cannot field thousands and thousands of fighters and bombers. You know, we lost 18,000 bombers trying to penetrate German air defenses during World War II. We in the Royal Air Force, 18,000 bombers.

Air defenses today in Iran are substantial. And they are capable. This is the S-400. They are layered with multiple kinds of missiles over a vast area and radars. We are going to lose aircraft. No one knows how many because we've never fought our way through it. But we don't have thousands to lose. So in an attrition setting, we can't win.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
And unfortunately, when you're 6,000 miles away from home, it's attrition. You can't replace rapidly. You can't reload rapidly. You can't resupply rapidly. Logistically, it's a disaster. Then finally, you see what's happened in the market recently. Dropped 900 points. What do you think happens if there's a war in the Middle East or in Eastern Europe? It'll just intensify the sell-off.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
Everything tanks. All confidence will be lost. No one in their right mind at this point should be talking about a war. We should be talking about disengagement. And Zelensky, frankly, the way he was treated, I think President Trump was far too gentle. I'm surprised that two giant Secret Service agents did not come in, pick him up, and remove him from the office.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
But the way he handled Zelensky is the way he's got to handle Netanyahu. Because if he doesn't, Netanyahu will drag him into the abyss. Because he wants this war in the Middle East, come hell or high water. And it's not in our interest. What war? The war with Iran, the war with everybody.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
I mean, you've seen these settings where Netanyahu sits at the table and he's got everybody around him in his cabinet. And he says, this is our opportunity to settle with everyone. We're fighting on five fronts. No, we're fighting on seven fronts. And he starts ticking off, you know, everyone from the Houthis to the militias in Iraq and Syria and now Iran. and so forth.

If you look at the map today, he's trying to occupy Syria all the way up to the edge of Damascus. And Erdogan, who is a very clever but slippery character, has already said, forget it. We're not going to tolerate that in southern Syria. So he's pushing the envelope to the very edge. In Damascus, there are three great Islamic cities in the region.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
One is Cairo, the other is Jerusalem, and then Damascus. They're not going to surrender Damascus to the Israelis. So whatever happens, the Turks will eventually become involved. They'll march in.

Because I don't think... I don't think NATO matters. Maybe you're right. I don't think it has for a long time.

You know, we've got, what, 200,000 of them here in the United States, and I don't know how many thousands of them are working for the SBU, the Ukrainian secret police, that are now running around threatening everyone that has criticized Ukraine or opposed support for Ukraine.
The Tucker Carlson Show

Well, what we're talking about will end everything that we're accustomed to, the rules-based order, which just means our global hegemony in military and economic terms. Everyone in BRICS is now being forced together. We're forcing cohesion on BRICS as an alternative to our financial system, which we use to bully everybody. So that's all that BRICS is about.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
But now BRICS is going to become increasingly militarized because we're seen as this rogue state that is willing to put everything at risk in order to retain its position of dominance. That's catastrophic for us. We don't want to go down that road. And that's why I think most of us voted for President Trump. We saw him as someone who would say no and diverge from that path.
The Tucker Carlson Show
BREAKING: Tucker and Doug Macgregor React to Proposed Ceasefire Deal Between Ukraine and Russia
But we don't know right now. It's not clear. He has not made it clear what he wants. He has said he wants a settlement with Russia. He wants normalization with Russia. Okay, if you really want that, you've got to act in a way that demonstrates conclusively that you support that. That means end all the military aid right now to the Ukrainians. Period. Done.

Number two, get all of the Americans out of Ukraine immediately. Everybody.
