6:04Now PlayingRepublican Congressman Mike Turner absolutely ruined Tucker Carlson's night this week when he tore into the Fox News host for not understanding why the United States was allies with Ukraine instead of Russia. Tucker was forced to sheepishly admit "I guess I'm for democracy in other countries," but it was clear that he not only didn't mean what he said, but he likely didn't even understand what that meant. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

On Wednesday evening, Republican representative Mike Turner went on Tucker Carlson's Fox news program and the segment quickly evolved into a shouting match between Tucker and Turner. And the reason for that is because Tucker Carlson doesn't quite understand how US foreign policy works. And he was confused as to why the United States would want to be allies with a country like Ukraine when we could be allies with a country like Russia. And representative Turner had to explain to him why that's not exactly what we're doing. Take a look at the clip. Absolutely amazing how Turner destroys Tucker Carlson here. Here it is.
It is, make certain that we give them what they need. Give them intelligence, give them lethal weapons, give them assistance, give them guidance.
But, but, but, why, why would we.
Because it's important.
Why would we take Ukraine, but hold on, why would we take Ukraine's side and not Russia's side? A sincere question? If you're looking from an American perspective? No, but why? I mean, who's got the energy reserves. Who's, who's the major player in world affairs? Who's the potential counterbalance against China, which is the actual threat? Why would we take Ukraine's side? Why wouldn't we have Russia's side? I don't, I'm totally confused.
Well, clearly. Maybe if you get out a map and you looked to see where the black sea is and Bulgaria and Romania, Romania, where we have our missile defense system, Greece and Turkey, the entrance to the black sea. And then from there, you look at what the conflicts have already been in Russia's areas there. Ukraine is a Democracy, uh, Russia's an authoritarian regime that is seeking to impose its will upon a validly elected Democracy in Ukraine. And we're on the side of Democracy. That's why people were chasing those planes in Afghanistan and wouldn't be chasing Russian ones. We're for Democracy. We're for Liberty. We're not for the authoritarian regimes coming in and changing borders by tanks. Russia isn't showing up on the border with ballot boxes. They're showing up on the border with tanks. And that's why we need to make certain we're on the side of Democracy and give the aid that's necessary. So we don't have another Obama sending blankets to a country that's being invaded.
Yeah. I, I mean, I, I'm guessing for Democracy in other countries, I guess. But I'm really for America. And I.
What's really interesting to me about the clip other than the way that Turner shut down Tucker and basically got him to sheepishly admit like, well, I mean, I guess I like Democracies in other countries, ah, I don't know. They both in their own ways really did a good job of explaining what US foreign policy is. And I don't think either of the meant to do it. That's what's so funny to me. Because Tucker Carlson's over here saying, well, why aren't we friends with Russia? Why are they our close allies? Because they have all the energy reserves. They've got that sweet, sweet, crude oil that we want to get our hands on. So they should be our best friends, which really is basically half of US foreign policy. We'll be your friends. We'll support you in any way we can, if you have oil, you know, that explains the United States relationship with Saudi Arabia.
One of the worst human rights abusers on the planet, that regime is, but we're totally selling them all kinds of wonderful weapons of war.
