Tucker Carlson clashes with Mark Cuban over Ukraine stance: 'How much money have you sent?'
Former talk-show host Tucker Carlson and businessman Mark Cuban had an uncomfortable exchange over the topic of the Russia-Ukraine war earlier this week.
The two stars appeared at the All-In Summit on Monday, hosted by the "All-In" podcast, a business and technology show hosted by entrepreneurs Chamath Palihapitiya, Jason Calacanis, David Sacks, and David Friedberg.
'Forcing other people to help is not charity. It's vanity.'
Cuban appeared first, with the panel jumping into the topic of fixing America's health care. This led Cuban to bring up his latest venture, a pharmaceutical website that sells drugs at cost, with the URL getting at least eight mentions in about 15 minutes.
When Carlson appeared on stage, he immediately mocked the consistent plugs.
When asked how to identify the line between "democracy" and "pandering," Carlson offered a hilarious answer.
"Where is the line? I mean, I can identify it: It's at costplusdrugs.com," Carlson said, poking fun at Cuban's business.
Less than 10 minutes passed before Sacks, the White House AI and crypto czar under President Trump, asked Cuban about "whether we should be sending money to Ukraine or not."
"Were you in favor of that?" Sacks inquired.
"Honestly, I don't have a good answer," Cuban replied. "I can make an argument both ways, and half my family is Ukrainian, from my grandparents. Personally, I think we should help, but I don't have a studied answer for you."
This led to the most contentious part of the show, with Carlson cornering Cuban on his position.
"How much money have you sent to Ukraine?" the former Fox News host asked the billionaire.
"None," Cuban revealed.
This did not stop Carlson's questions.
"Oh, so what do you mean by 'we'?" Carlson continued. Cuban was silent, responding only with a shoulder shrug.
"You're the one whose family's from Ukraine. Like, why don't you send them a billion dollars?" Carlson piled on.
"Because I'm trying to fix health care," Cuban retorted.
Tucker, not standing down, then asked, "Why don't you fix their health care if you're, like, so deep? If you think we need to help, why don't you start? How about you first? I noticed that's never even an option for anybody."
The crowd erupted in applause in support of Carlson's rhetoric.
"It's like, 'We need to help!'" the podcaster added. "That's not what charity is. Forcing other people to help is not charity. It's vanity."
Calacanis then jumped in and saved Cuban with comments about the war and joked that President Trump was going to turn a profit from all the chaos in Eastern Europe.

Much of Carlson's commentary on the panel was focused on population replacement in Western countries and the unaffordability of homes, which is stagnating population growth.
Other highlights included Carlson being asked if he is anti-Semitic, if Jeffrey Epstein was a spy, and if Russian President Vladimir Putin is a war criminal.

George Santos bids a 'fabulous' farewell, surrenders for prison sentence
Former Republican Rep. George Santos of New York faced a highly publicized fall from grace, and the dramatic saga may be coming to a close.
Santos will be surrendering to serve his maximum sentence of 87 months in prison Friday after he pled guilty to charges of federal wire fraud and identity theft. In the midst of his legal debacle, Santos also became the sixth member of Congress ever to be expelled from the House back in December 2023.
'To my critics: Thanks for the free press.'
"Well, darlings… The curtain falls, the spotlight dims, and the rhinestones are packed," Santos wrote in his farewell post. "From the halls of Congress to the chaos of cable news what a ride it’s been!
"Was it messy? Always. Glamorous? Occasionally. Honest? I tried… most days," Santos added. "To my supporters: You made this wild political cabaret worth it. To my critics: Thanks for the free press."
"I may be leaving the stage (for now), but trust me legends never truly exit," Santos said. "Forever fabulously yours, George."
Santos was launched into the spotlight for his flamboyant personality and unpredictable political displays, whether he was claiming he had "Jew-ish" heritage or if he was rushing around the halls of Congress with a mystery baby.
However, his tendency to embellish eventually caught up to him after he was accused of making various inconsistent claims about his education, professional experience, and finances. He was also accused of making fake donations and a fake nonprofit as well as wire fraud after he spent the donations on luxury items, rent, and Botox.

Santos admitted wrongdoing, but argued that his sentence was unusually harsh, saying many of his former colleagues in Congress would also be in prison if the law was applied evenly.
"Just put it this way," Santos said in an interview with Tucker Carlson. "No one is going to prison for what I'm going to prison for. Because if they were, we wouldn't have half of Congress right now. And that's on both sides."
Santos made similar accusations about his former congressional colleagues in the Blaze Originals documentary "Bought and Paid For," which you can view below.
