Tucker Carlson Debates @RepMariaSalazar Over Her Support For A No-Fly Zone In Ukraine, Her Push For Sending Weapons To Ukraine, And Her Amnesty Bill

Segment...

I agree. I watch Tucker nightly and this Rep Salazar was very taxing on my patience. She was quite impressed with being on TV with a popular host and ended the interview with twice inviting herself back. Tucker did not snap her up on that idea. She was campaigning and showing off and altogether obnoxious and pretentious. Fast talker but no depth. The GOP can do better.

JFK didn’t cancel it. He told the CIA clearly and directly that we would not intervene with US forces. They thought they could force his hand by putting him in a bind. He did the right thing to not get played. He stuck to his word against the trashy CIA.

supersede

soo͞″pər-sēd′

transitive verb

To take the place of; replace or supplant.

Obviously, the millions of illegals who have, and are, being brought here without the consent or permission of legal American citizens supersedes concerns about foreign countries (emphasis supplied)

As important as maintaining our southern border is for the reasons you expressed and more, why should concern for our southern border "replace" our interest in defending Ukraine's sovereignty which certainly includes defending Ukraine's border?

Are we incapable of doing both at the same time? Does the failure to enforce our own border mean that it is not desirable to defend Ukraine's ? Does it mean we do not have the capacity? Would a commitment to defend our own border compel us to defend Ukraine's border? If we were to defend our own border with that furnish the capability to defend Ukraine's?

These are foolish and illogical false choices. The decision on one does not "replace" the other. Each stands on its own.

Laura Ingram referred to someone putting bodies in Ukraine.

The congresswoman doesn’t want to put bodies in Ukraine.

2 different people 2 different issues.

[nathanbedford]

Since both borders have been rendered nonexistent, which one would we benefit most by repairing and enforcing?

Clearly, repairing our own domestic southern border would yield the most benefit.

The question is, would defending both borders bring even more benefit?

[AndyJackson]

not at all inconsistent. Ukraine is not a vital national interest. What goes on on our souther border is.

[moehoward]

Got it. Thanks.

[moehoward]

"The question is, would defending both borders bring even more benefit?"

Since our government is only interested in Ukraine's border, the question is who benefits if we continue to send defensive weapons and this thing drags on. I think we both know the answer to that.

[mountainfolk]

America first. Ukraine second. Of course they could be taken care of simultaneously. However, before Ukraine, our govt, RINOs and commie dems, were not inclined to effectively defend our own boarders. Thus, if we forced our govt to defend our American borders, then we could consider helping another country to defend theirs. Our American borders would be secured with the same weaponry that is being sent to Ukarine and our military could enforce the requirements for legal entry of aliens. If America will not defend our own borders, it is blatantly treasonous to use the resources provided by our taxpayers for participation in a foreign war.

I almost posted the same interview.

While I admit she is better than Dems she is still the sort of Neocon Republican like Ryan, Romney, McConnel and McCain that essentially accomplished nothing when they had all 3 branches of the government.

I noticed no matter how heated she got or how many tangents she went on she still would not or could not directly counters Tucker’s main thesis;

IE “ Why are you willing to go to war for Ukraine’s sovereignty and yet not do the same for our own?”.

[SecAmndmt]

I watched the interview

I would have sworn that I was listening to a Democrat. I think she is anti-gun, also.

[DHerion]

Tucker has an open invite to anyone to come on his show so you’re wrong there. They just don’t want to.

She was the one interrupting, she was disingenuous (lying) about her amnesty bill, and clearly over her head with regards to the potential for this to spill over into an even bigger conflict. When she uses terms ‘that’s hypothetical’ she proves she’s not thinking through all the ramifications of our actions.

[DHerion]

Of course they do...would you defend your neighbors home before your own?

[Phoenix8]

Let’s examine what does follow then. A country that does not enforce its own borders and allows mass illegal immigration then becomes the world wide enforcer of other countries borders. Such enforcement in this case could potentially lead to war with a massive nuclear power. I suppose one could argue a military invasion is different from a human one but in the end isn’t the result the same?

Seems odd and while I’m not really an expert on Nathan B Forrest I don’t think he would be on your side on this one.

Forrest for whatever his other faults was a brilliant military leader and was willing to sacrifice hs life to protect the south’s borders….his people.

Still I don’t think we disagree on everything.

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

She is EXACTLY WHY we keep winning elections YET losing our country!!!

[nathanbedford]

Still I don’t think we disagree on everything.

Indeed, we don't disagree on very much and almost nothing at all on this issue.

I would defend the southern border to the last millimeter, I believe it is number 1 or number 2 of our national priorities. I believe the security of Ukraine is important but very much lower on our ladder of priorities.

I would defend my home before my neighbor's home, certainly, but I would defend my neighborhood as well. Of course, I would not strip the southern border of weapons to defend Ukraine and I am thoroughly sickened that effective weapons to defend Ukraine were left in Afghanistan.

I simply do not see any logic in setting our defense of the southern border as a condition precedent to defending our interests in Ukraine. One is not necessary for the other and not logically connected, except in our emotions. Emotions are a very treacherous foundation upon which to forge policy. But I do understand the irresistible power of the slogan ...

one slogan is worth a thousand reasons.

[Guenevere]

I remember her ......she is a clever manipulator ( obviously)
When she was campaigning , she essentially said ‘all the right and earnest words’

A real piece of work!

[Guenevere]

I haven’t decided if you’re naive or intentional

I’m leaning toward intentional
....and manipulative

[srmanuel]

There is a large majority of people on Fox that are pro war in Ukraine, true Tucker doesn’t have many people on that disagree with him, if you want to listen to opposing views, look at the rest of the network for that, he’s under no obligation to offer opposing views.

The other reason he doesn’t have opposing views on his shows is most people don’t want to come on the most popular show on cable news and get humiliated.

I don’t think it’s a false premise at all to say providing arms to Ukraine is preventing a peace agreement.

There are ongoing peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine being facilitated by Turkey and Israel, the USA has no public part of the negotiations, all we keep talking about escalating the situation thru a no-fly zone, if the no-fly zone goes ahead, forget about any peace agreement.

From that perspective what we are doing would prevent a peace agreement.

“If we fail to enforce the border with Mexico does not mean that we should fail to support the people of Ukraine.”

Strange take on what Tucker says. I listen to him almost nightly, and he will invariably mention the HYPOCRISY of the uni-party wailing about Ukraine border security and sovereignty and then completely ignoring our own border.

That does not contradict support for the Ukrainian people.
