Chapter 1: What is Trump's stance on the Ukraine conflict?

I want to get right into the breaking news. President Donald Trump sends a truth social and he is sending the world a message. The gravy train is out ending.
Since the beginning, we have been very clear on this program that it is not America's role to get involved in the Russian Ukrainian dispute. From the very beginning, we looked at the cost and the consequences about how this could destabilize an entire continent that could destroy the U.S. dollar, that could bring us closer and closer to needless nuclear war.
It was the conventional wisdom back in 2022 at the outbreak of the war It was the conventional wisdom that we must fight Russia. We must fight Russia. I actually went to CPAC three years ago and said, no, it was written up everywhere. I said that our leaders should care more about the southern border than the Ukrainian border. I was attacked as being insensitive, cruel.
In reality, we were just putting America first. 99% of the people in our audience were against us. It was by far the most unpopular stand that we've ever taken. And I knew we were right. At our core, I knew I was right. It's been one of those interesting things to see how the audience moved throughout the months. We'd be getting Ukrainian flags sent to us in email chains.
People saying, we must fight the Russians. Now our audience is 99% against it. It has been one of the most remarkable changes and shifts. And honestly, credit to those of you that did change your mind. Credit to those of you that realize the scam that is the Ukrainian conflict. And those of you that were in that 1%, you helped move the Overton window. You held the line.
You held your elected leaders to a higher standard. And someone who deserves a lot of credit is Tucker Carlson. Tucker Carlson, more than almost anybody else, deserves credit for his courage and his moral clarity on this conflict from the very beginning. Asking the right questions. Framing the conflict correctly. And now today...
The American people are exhausted with sending hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine. Remember, we had lawmakers on this program, one of whom I have a lot of respect for, North Dakota's own Senator Kramer. Again, he's a great man. We talk frequently. We just are completely different sides of this topic. This is not about anything personal with Senator Kramer.
He was very polite when he came on the show. But he said on this program that there would be no limit to the amount of money that would be sent to Ukraine. Apparently, he was right. Over $300 to $350 billion that we have spent on what? So that over a million people could be died to subsidize the slaughter of entire generations of Ukrainians? President Trump just posted this on Truth Social.
It is breaking news live here on this program. And I'm going to read the entire thing word for word. President Trump is the peace president. What he is doing is going to make the world a better, more stable place. Joe Biden was barreling us blindly towards a world war. Donald Trump writes on Truth Social, quote, Think of it.

Chapter 2: Why is Charlie Kirk critical of Zelenskyy?
You see, Zelensky wants to keep the war going. Zelensky does not have a loyalty to his people. Zelensky is captured by ultra-radical Ukrainian nationalists that refuse to ever negotiate with the Russian government. There was a deal on the table A week into the conflict that was being brokered in Istanbul, Turkey. Boris Johnson was there. Tony Blinken was there. Sergei Lavrov was there.
The Russian foreign minister was there. And a deal could have been brokered one week into the conflict that would have given Ukraine more land than they would currently get right now. And a million people would not have died. The United States has spent $200 billion more than Europe, and Europe's money is guaranteed, while the United States will get nothing back.
Why didn't sleepy Joe Biden demand equalization? In that this war is far more important to Europe than it is to us. We have a big, beautiful ocean of separation. This is exactly right. Europe, why don't you guys step up? Oh, because the same Europeans that were clamoring and rebuking J.D. Vance are the ones that want us to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on their defense.
So they want us to be able to subsidize their European social welfare democracies, even though they're censoring their own citizens. Even though Germany is looking far more like Russia than even Russia is, Europe did not step up to the plate because they want America to fight the fight for them. On top of this, Zelensky admits that half of the money we sent is missing.
He refuses to have elections and is very low in Ukrainian polls. And the only thing he was good at was playing Biden like a fiddle, a dictator without elections. Trump is calling Zelensky a dictator. Yeah, I mean, he refuses to have an election. And let's press pause here. You might say it's the midst of a war. Who could have an election?
Abraham Lincoln had an election in the midst of an American Civil War. Franklin Delano Roosevelt had elections in the midst of a world war. We had elections in the midst of World War I. Leaders who are illegitimate suspend Democrat means and norms to hold on to power. They could easily have an election right now. Easily. Zelensky better move fast or he's not going to have a country left.
In the meantime, we are successfully negotiating an end to the war with Russia, something I'll admit only Trump and the Trump administration can do. Biden never tried. Europe has failed to bring peace, and Zelensky probably wants to keep the gravy train going. I love Ukraine, which is very important that Trump says that, but Zelensky has done a terrible job.
His country is shattered, and millions have unnecessarily died, and so it continues. So let me translate all of this. This is President Trump with a public salvo because I guarantee you President Trump has been trying to get Zelensky's attention privately because President Trump is not just opposing Zelensky. This is President Trump scolding his own intelligence department.
The CIA deep state, they are the ones that have been puppeteering Zelensky for this entire time. They're the ones that have been configuring this entire conflict. And the power of public scolding like this is you better get in line or else I'm going to go do a deal with the Russians. The Ukrainians are getting mad that there might be an end to the war. Think about that.

Chapter 3: How does the Wisconsin Supreme Court race affect politics?
It's designed for people to own their own neighborhoods here in Wisconsin, for people in other states, if you're listening in a state like Illinois, like Alabama, all over the country, who are hearing about this race having national implications on 2028 and and want to directly help in that effort.
So when somebody signs up on tpaction.com slash 100, which I see we have on the bottom of the screen, that's great. You are assigned a list of 100 conservative voters, what we call low propensity or disengaged conservatives, likely conservatives that will not turn out in the spring off your election unless we're chasing them.
And you can go knock on those doors and essentially hyper-target your efforts down to those 100 people, essentially maximizing your reach with those people.
If you're from out of state, this allows you to remotely make contact with those 100 voters in Wisconsin, give them a call, shoot them a text, write them a postcard, which you'll have the ability to do on our TP Action app, which is wonderful if you haven't downloaded it yet already.
And for those that want to take it to the next level and physically come to Wisconsin and chase those votes in person, We'll put you in a hotel for as long as you want to be here so you can go and chase ballots with us. This worked like a well-oiled machine in 2024. It really put the finishing touches on our effort to get President Trump across the finish line here in Wisconsin.
We had literal hundreds of people come from out of state, states like Illinois, where an hour of conservative activism isn't nearly going to have the impact that an hour of conservative activism in Wisconsin will have. We'll train you, we'll put you in a nice hotel, and we'll help you chase your 100 votes. tpaction.com slash 100.
Great work, Brett. Everyone check out that website, tpaction.com slash 100. Brett, we'll have you on again soon. We see it all the time when I visit college campuses.

Chapter 4: What is the Commit 100 initiative by Turning Point Action?
It's allowing men to be treated for the purposes of the law as women. It's men taking 900 sports trophies from women in recent years.
Okay, that doesn't happen. They didn't take 900.
They took 900. There's a report that just came out from the United Nations, actually. 890 trophies and medals across 600 women who were competing, competitors, across 29 different sports in 400 competitions. That came out like yesterday.
And they deserved them.
It didn't happen, and they deserve them. Okay, that is the logic I hear from the pro-trans crowd.
Thank you. They do deserve that.
It's not happening, but it's good that it is. She actually did the meme, or he, I guess, actually did the meme.
Oh, was that a tranny?
I didn't know. The reason I say sometimes, you know, camouflage pulls it off, but I was thinking to myself, actually, I think that's an imposter as the tranny was talking.

Chapter 5: What was Michael Knowles' experience on the Jubilee podcast?
They have intentionally not decided to deepen their understanding and so remarkably intolerant of anyone that might have a different opinion.
All of that's true. Certainly, we've seen that happening for years. We know that the quality of education these days is a little bit weak at all the schools. However, there's another insight, a really traditional insight from our civilization and from Christianity that comes out, which is that sin darkens the intellect.
When you engage in sin and vice, it actually makes you dumber than you otherwise would be. And this is something we all have to watch out for because we all sin, so you got to be careful of it. But for a grown man to show up on television or the internet or just broadly on camera with a big wig on talking about his sexual desires and bizarre sexual practices, that's that is a crazy thing to do.
That is humiliating for the individual, and he shouldn't do it. And the kinds of arguments that I found they were making basically came down to, hey, I really like this thing, or hey, I have emotional problems, or hey, I was really angry at my family growing up or something. And so I have a great deal of sympathy for people, but it's just, it's evidence that they've lost control of their reason.
And the whole point of education is to take your appetites, we all have kind of weird appetites sometimes, it's a fallen world, to bring those under the command of your reason. So you say, no, I'm not going to eat the fifth cookie from the cookie jar. That's not going to be good. I want it in some ways, but it won't be good for me to eat that.
No, I'm not going to do that kind of weird behavior that's being encouraged by our society. But unfortunately, modern education tells you the opposite. It says, hey, if it feels good, do it. If you have any appetite at all, indulge it. Forget about reason. There's no such thing as objective truth. There's no such thing as objective reality. And it leaves these people ultimately
not just looking foolish in a debate against some conservative, but it leaves them very sad. I walked into that room. I had a nice time. I actually enjoyed speaking to the people, even the ones who were rude. They walked out of that room by their own admission, angry, sad, probably some of them wishing violence upon me, openly wishing violence upon you. That's not good.
That's not a good way to live. And if you're constantly furious and angry and just butting your head up against reality, it probably means that something in your ideology is a little bit wrong.
