1 00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:03,640 Speaker 1: There is a big funding battle that is happening right 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 1: now in Washington, d C. And it deals with securing 3 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: our border and funding for Ukraine. There is a lot 4 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: of people saying a lot of things about this funding battle, 5 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: and I want to make sure you understand the strategy 6 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,440 Speaker 1: here and why Republicans are tying the two together. I 7 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,760 Speaker 1: am one of those that says we should definitely stand 8 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: up to Russia. I'm also one of those that believes 9 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,479 Speaker 1: that giving a country like Ukraine, which is more corrupt 10 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: than Russia historically, is you don't give them a blank check. 11 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: The amount of money that's being funneled out of that 12 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: country and into the coffers, into the bank accounts of 13 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,879 Speaker 1: people like Zelenski and his family and friends is massive. 14 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: I also want you to understand that, and I also 15 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,840 Speaker 1: want a ROI I want to return honor damn investment. 16 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: And right now we look at best like we're installmate. 17 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: It doesn't look good. That is another thing that really, really, 18 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: really really bothers me about what's happening right now. So 19 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: you combine all those things together, it doesn't mean that 20 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 1: I want to abandon Ukraine. It means that I want 21 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: more accountability for my dollars going to Ukraine. Right, That's 22 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: something else that people really need to understand. There have 23 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: been people within the government in Ukraine that have already 24 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: been fired over the last six months for corruption. This 25 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: is what is actually happening on the ground there now. 26 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: When I went over to Budapest and met with the 27 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: leadership of the government, including Victor Orban, one of the 28 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,279 Speaker 1: things that they explained to me as I was sitting 29 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: with them and they talked about is they go, guys, 30 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: you guys think that Russia is the most corrupt government 31 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: in this part of the world. And they laughed, They're like, 32 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: you're wrong, it's actually not. It's Ukraine. For decades centuries, 33 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: Ukraine has been an insanely corrupt country. 34 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 2: There are two sets of laws there. 35 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: There are the laws and the books, and there's you 36 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: got to get me some cash to get what you 37 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: need type of mentality with that government. It's an incredibly 38 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: corrupt country. It's incredibly an insanely corrupt government. Now, let 39 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: me also tell you one of the other things that 40 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: they exposed to me when I was over there, and 41 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: they showed it to me and showed details about this 42 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: that was truly mind blowing the oligarchs and those that 43 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: are in the government, their families are safe. Their families 44 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: are in Warsaw, staying in five star resorts and hotels. 45 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 1: And guess who's paying for that? 46 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 2: You and I are. 47 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: The amount of money that's actually hitting the battlefield compared 48 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 1: to what's going into the coffers of family and friends 49 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: of government officials is some have even had its seventy 50 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: to eighty percent. 51 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 2: So I want you to think about that. 52 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: Why should we be sending all this money if the 53 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: money's actually not going to defeat the Russians. And that's 54 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: another part of this conversation that we should we should 55 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: genuinely be having this conversation. I'm not in favor of 56 00:02:54,560 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: a blank check indefinitely to anybody or Anyone's also something 57 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: else that should be brought up here. 58 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 2: In fact, no one should. 59 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: There's also a part about this money that bothers me 60 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: from the standpoint that we don't have this money. This 61 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: money doesn't exist. We are borrowing this money. Let me 62 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: say that again. We are borrowing this money. The money 63 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: that we're talking about right now is being borrowed. We're 64 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: paying eight percent interest, nine percent interest, seven percent interest 65 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: on the money that we're giving to Ukraine. So we 66 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: are actually going into debt. Okay, we are going into 67 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: debt to borrow this money that we don't have, and 68 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: we're paying interest on this money because of the simplistic idea, 69 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: right which I get it. So Russia's bad, therefore we 70 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: should stand up obviously to Russia. For ten years, Patriot 71 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: Mobile has been America's only Christian conservative wireless provider. 72 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 2: And when I say the only one, I mean it. 73 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 2: They're the only one. 74 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: They make a huge difference every time that you pay 75 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: your bill because they actually get back to conservative causes 76 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: and organizations to help you stand up for what you 77 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: believe in while you're paying a bill you're going to 78 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: have anyways, This is the part that I love about 79 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile. They're making a difference every time you pay 80 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: your bill, every time you make a phone call, every 81 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 1: time that you send a text message. Patriot Mobile actually 82 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,799 Speaker 1: gives money back to protect First and Second Amendment rights, 83 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 1: to protect the lives of unborn children. And that's what 84 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: they're doing right now, is they celebrate their tenth anniversary. 85 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: If you switch right now to Patriot Mobile, they are 86 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: going to give a donation to help protect life and 87 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: to help mothers choose life. To an organization that does 88 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: everything they can to protect the lives of unborn children. 89 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: Then every month when you pay your bill, they're going 90 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: to continue to support the causes that I just mentioned. 91 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 1: And this is exactly, bactly why you need to make 92 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: the switch. If you're tired of woke companies, switch your 93 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: cell phone to Patriot Mobile.

I want accountability for my tax dollars. 103 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: As a country, for far too long, we have just 104 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 1: decided that, Okay, what we'll do is we'll say, hey, 105 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 1: you got my money, do with it what you want. 106 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: We trust you. That's not working. The abuse of our 107 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: tax dollars is incredible. The fact that we are spending 108 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: more then we bring in every single moment of every 109 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: single day also tells you how much these politicians don't 110 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: give a rats are in about our future, our kid's future, 111 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: and really the future of this country. Because a country 112 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: in massive debt, trillions of dollars in debt, is a 113 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: country that will be destroyed. Now, it's clear that Democrats 114 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 1: don't care if they destroy this country. In fact, it's 115 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: their motivation, it's their obligation. Now they are Marxists. The 116 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: Democratic Party is dead. They're communists and socialists. They want 117 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: this country to go broke because it's easier to remake 118 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 1: a country that has gone broke than it is to 119 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: stand with a country that is prosperous. 120 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 2: Right. 121 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 1: I mean, if you went to the American people and said, hey, 122 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:53,239 Speaker 1: while we're a prosperous nation, we desperately, desperately, desperately want 123 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: you right to change the socialism and communism, the appetite 124 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: for that would be like nothing, Right, the appetite for 125 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: that would be zero. No one would want that, or 126 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 1: the majority wouldn't for the basic reason they're like, hey, 127 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: we're doing great, why would we want to change. 128 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 2: However, if things. 129 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: Are really really really really bad, right, and things are 130 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: going really really badly for a nation, and we are 131 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: upside down in debt. You can fundamentally change a country, 132 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: you can fundamentally destroy a nation like that. That's something 133 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: that you can absolutely do. And so Democrats, I don't 134 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: believe mind at all. They don't mind. And really, I 135 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: would say, in any capacity, destroying America with an insane 136 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: amount of debt like that's something that they just don't mind. 137 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: So you put that in perspective with all the money 138 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: we're spending out and spending in Ukraine and the government's 139 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: spending that's out of control, and you understand a little 140 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: bit more. So let's bring us now to this fight 141 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: and explain to you why Republicans are fighting this fight 142 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: the way they are, which is a smart strategy. They're saying, Look, 143 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: we're not saying that we abandon Ukraine. We're not saying 144 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: we give in and allow Vladimir Putin to win. 145 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 2: Right. I think that's a very very very very very 146 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 2: important point that. 147 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: Must be made. We're not saying that we support him. 148 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: We're not saying we're walking away. We're not saying we 149 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: want you to just sit there and die. What we 150 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: are saying is we want there to be real and 151 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: authentic accountability for our tax dollars that are going to you. 152 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: There's also something else. Why are we sending dollars to 153 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: Ukraine when we're not even securing our own border and 154 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 1: more than eight million people have cross that border illegally 155 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: since Joe Biden has been president. So that's another aspect 156 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: of this that I think really has to be talked about, okay. 157 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 2: And then there's another part of this. 158 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: If the president it's America, refuses to secure the border, 159 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: and that's quickly been the policy of Joe Biden in 160 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party, then when there's something that they want, 161 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: which is to send more money to Ukraine. And we 162 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: haven't even gotten into the Biden corruption in Ukraine and 163 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: part of the reason why I think we're saying this 164 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: money and I'll deal with that in a second, okay, 165 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: But if this is where we are when it comes 166 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: to the corruption with Ukraine, then we have to tie 167 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,559 Speaker 1: to get what we want to something that the Democrats 168 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: desperately want, and that's funding going to Ukraine. And that's 169 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: the difference here right like that for me is the 170 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: point that really needs to be made that. That's the 171 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: point that I think is extremely important. That also that 172 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: must be made here is that you have to make 173 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: sure that we secure our border. And if you guys 174 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 1: want this Ukrainian funding which you're obsessed with, which you 175 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 1: absolutely must have, have no matter what it all costs. 176 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: And that's been what you've been saying over and over again. Fine, 177 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: we're going to tie the two together. Put your money 178 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: where your mouth is. You want the money for Ukraine, 179 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: then give us a secure border, which, by the way, 180 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 1: is already in our constitution. It's already in our laws. 181 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: They're refusing to abide by our laws. And that's the 182 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 1: problem here, is the fact that they're refusing to abide 183 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: by the laws that we currently have. 184 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 2: That's the problem here. 185 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 1: Now, with that being said, I want you to hear 186 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,839 Speaker 1: the Speaker of the House, Johnson saying this about the 187 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: talks after the meeting he had with Zelensky. Because Zlensky's 188 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill, he's there begging for money. Democrats are 189 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,239 Speaker 1: rolling out the red carpet. Some Rhino Republicans and warhawk 190 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: Republicans are also rolling out the red carpet for Zelensky. 191 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: They're ready to give him that blank check that he wants. Remember, 192 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: there's a lot of people in Washington, DC that love war. 193 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: War is good for business, War is good for defense contract. 194 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: War is good for their family and friends that are 195 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 1: in the defense business. And if we're having to send 196 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: massive amounts of m inventory right and Ammo and other things, 197 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,839 Speaker 1: that means we're buying replacement pieces for it, which means 198 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,839 Speaker 1: their friends are getting paid. Also, if the money is 199 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: going to Ukraine, and then the money has to is 200 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: being spent for weaponry that goes back into companies that 201 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 1: have lobbied the US government that works for them. They 202 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 1: don't care if the check's coming from Ukraine because of 203 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: a check from America or if the check's coming directly 204 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: from America, as long as the dollars hit their bank 205 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: account and they're selling their product, which is right, weapons 206 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: of war. Game on for all of them involved. This 207 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 1: is where the corruption comes in. So listen to Speaker 208 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,839 Speaker 1: Johnson talking after his meeting with Zolenski. 209 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 3: My state of Louisiana, fentanyl is the leading cause of 210 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 3: death for Americans age eighteen to forty nine in this country. 211 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 3: Fentyl poisoning. Because it's allowed over the border. We have 212 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 3: human traficking and all the other terrible things. In the 213 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,079 Speaker 3: last three months October and November December alone, we've had 214 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 3: more illegal crossings at the border than in any entire 215 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 3: year during the Obama administration. The American people see this, 216 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 3: they feel it acutely. They see all the terrible societal 217 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 3: ills that come from this, and it must be addressed. 218 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 3: So I've made this very clear again from the very 219 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 3: beginning when I was hand of the gabble. We needed 220 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 3: clarity on what we're doing in Ukraine and how we'll 221 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 3: have proper oversight of the spending of precious taxpayer dollars 222 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,079 Speaker 3: in the American citizens, and we needed a transformative change 223 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 3: at the border. Thus far, we've gotten neither. The Senate 224 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 3: has been mia on this. The House passed HR two 225 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 3: six months ago. More than six months ago. It's been 226 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 3: sitting and collecting dust on Chuck Schumer's desk. I have 227 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 3: told him personally, I've told the National Security Advisor, the 228 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 3: Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, that these are 229 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 3: our conditions, because these are the conditions of the American people, 230 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 3: and we are resolute on that. It is not the 231 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 3: House's issue right now. The issue is with the White 232 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 3: House and the Senate, and I implore them to do 233 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 3: their job because the time is urgent and we do 234 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 3: want to do the right thing here with that. 235 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: So he's saying, hey, let me remind you for six 236 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 1: months they've been sitting on this bill to secure our 237 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,559 Speaker 1: border and they refuse to touch it, and it's collecting 238 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: dust on Chuck Schumer's desk. 239 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:18,839 Speaker 2: That is a fact. 240 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: So if you want to blame somebody for this funding stopping, 241 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: and remember Zolensky in Ukraine, they're all up Joe Biden's 242 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 1: we're in because I'm pretty sure they haven't compromised based 243 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: on what we know from about his son and what 244 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: happened with this energy company in Ukraine, Barisma and everything else. 245 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: So I have no doubt there is some real corruption 246 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:46,719 Speaker 1: there that obviously should be talked about, and that's outside 247 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 1: of even this. But I think the point that Johnson's 248 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: making there is, hey, we're time these two together, and 249 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:53,839 Speaker 1: if you don't like it, then take up our bill 250 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: and deal with our bill. And if you're not going 251 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: to do it, then this is what we're going to do. 252 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: We're not going to sit here and let you do 253 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: this to us. The other part is when will this stop? 254 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 2: Okay? 255 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: Zolensky said this about Ukraine's government the White House earlier. 256 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:10,719 Speaker 2: Take a listen. 257 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 4: Yesterday, I match with the CIMF and World Bank, and 258 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 4: it's impressed with the Ukraine's economy grows almost five percent, 259 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 4: and that's significant. Ukraine is gradually becoming a less depend 260 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 4: on age and we are moving to the right I 261 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 4: think right through direction, and I want to discuss with 262 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 4: the President how to strengthen it. 263 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 2: How did strengthen Okay? 264 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: So Zolensky's saying Ukraine's economy economic growth is almost five percent. 265 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 2: The number one question I have for him is since when? Okay? 266 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: Because if you're comparing it to when your economy completely 267 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: shut down when the war started, that's really not that impressive. 268 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: That's number one. Number two he's saying, that means we're 269 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: moving towards sustainability, right, less dependent on aid, on foreign 270 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: eight on American aid right. And so he says, I 271 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: want to discuss with President Biden how to strengthen aid. 272 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: So he's saying I need your money while saying I 273 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: may not need your money for that long, but how long? 274 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: So if your economic growth is almost five percent, the 275 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: question that I would ask for is Zelenski. If you're 276 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: a good president of United States of America and this isn't 277 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: a political question, Hey, how long are you going to 278 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: need this money? 279 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 2: Bro? And how many years are we talking about? Here? 280 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 2: Are weeks or months or days? 281 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: And then I need better transparency because I know you've 282 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: got some really shady, bad actors who are siphoning this 283 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: money off when we send it over to you. I'm 284 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: not a big fan of just blank checks. I am 285 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: a fan of sending him what he needs to fight 286 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: the Russians if you can at least have more control 287 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: over that military hardware and ammunition. 288 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 2: But even that, they'll figure out a way. 289 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: I'm sure to steal some of that and sell it 290 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: on the black market because. 291 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 2: This is Ukraine and they are corrupt. 292 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: I also have one other question, when are you going 293 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: to start having your elections again? Because this dictator Zolensky 294 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: has canceled the elections. While he's telling you that they're 295 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: moving forward with five percent economic growth, he's saying that 296 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: they can't afford to have an election, So he's now 297 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: a dictator. We are enabling and supporting an advocating for 298 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: a straight up dictator period. Now, Zelenski is obviously, as 299 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: I said, I think a dictator a tyrant. He won't 300 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: have elections, but he tells you his economy is getting stronger, 301 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: so therefore you should get money because it's not going 302 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: to be forever. Wink, wink, nod, nod. He's got a 303 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: lot of useful idiots that are on his side to 304 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: continue to be a dictator to the people of Ukraine 305 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: and not hold elections. In fact, just so you understand 306 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: how arrogant Zelensky is. Zelensky was asked about canceling yet 307 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: another set of elections. You know, he said, he goes, 308 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: if you want to pay for it, you can have 309 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: an election. We don't have the money if a foreign 310 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: government wants to pay for the elections, and there's no, 311 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: by the way, reason to believe that these elections would 312 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: be fair anyway. 313 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 2: But just forget that for a second. 314 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: He saying, you want us to have an election, pay 315 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: for it, because we're not as a country. That's what 316 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: a dictator would say, right, we're at a time of war, 317 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: we can't have an election. Well, if the war's going 318 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,719 Speaker 1: to go on for years, then maybe you actually could 319 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: have an election and in the middle of this war, 320 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 1: shouldn't people decide if they want a different leader instead 321 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: of being stuck with the one that got him into 322 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 1: the war in the first place. That's that's also another 323 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: part of this equation. But his point is, Look, I'm 324 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: not paying for an election, and why would he Why 325 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 1: would Zelenski pay for an election. He's a dictator right 326 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: now with reason to act like he's not, cover to 327 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 1: act like he's not. And then he's getting to Deciphon 328 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: off as much Cassie wants as he wants. Here's the 329 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: other part about the useful idiots that are behind him. 330 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: Look no further than Democratic Senater Kelly all Right. Kelly 331 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: literally struggled to define what victory would look like for Ukraine. 332 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,160 Speaker 1: He was asked about this as they were waiting for 333 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 1: Zelenski to appear from the White House meetings. He's the 334 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: Democratic surrogate. He's out there advocating for us going to 335 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: even more debt by and get more money to Ukraine. 336 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: And listen to the fact that this senator who's leading 337 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: the charge for funding can't even define what does a 338 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: victory even look like for Ukraine? 339 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 2: Sir. 340 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 5: One objection from those Republican colleagues you mentioned is that 341 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 5: there's no clear endgame for Ukraine. The White House says 342 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 5: that this is Ukraine's war, that they should define what 343 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,679 Speaker 5: victory looks like. But Zelenski even appears to be in 344 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 5: disagreement with his own generals over the approach. The counter 345 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 5: offensive also has not met expectations. In your mind, what 346 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 5: does an obtainable victory look like in Ukraine? Is it 347 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 5: the retaking of Crimea. 348 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 6: Well, there will be a clear winner and loser in 349 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 6: this conflict. I mean everybody needs to understand that. I mean, 350 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 6: there will be an end to this, and we need 351 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,199 Speaker 6: to make sure that the Ukrainians win. I mean, if 352 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 6: we let Plue and take over Ukraine, he's going to 353 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 6: set his sights on another target, and the target could 354 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 6: be a Baltic country, it could be Poland, it will 355 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 6: be a NATO ally, and then we wind up in 356 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 6: a situation where we're going to have to defend our allies, 357 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 6: and that means committing combat troops. We have eliminated by 358 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 6: helping Ukraine a lot of the combat capacity of Russia 359 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 6: and the Ukrainian people have fought really, really hard. I 360 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 6: met some of them when I've been to Ukraine twice 361 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 6: this year. A young woman who made this compelling case 362 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 6: for getting F sixteen's to me personally, I worked on that. 363 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 6: They now have F sixteen pilots training in Arizona. They're 364 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,880 Speaker 6: learning how to bring this platform into the fight. We 365 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 6: can't let the dysfunction in Washington prevent us from doing 366 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 6: what's right. 367 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 5: That point is taken. However, I'm still short on the 368 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 5: specifics of what victory looks like. Do you think it's 369 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,199 Speaker 5: Ukraine retaking Crimea because it doesn't seem like there's the 370 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 5: political will to get them the kind of aid that 371 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 5: they would need to do that. 372 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,239 Speaker 6: Well, let's start with them not losing. I mean, if 373 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:12,120 Speaker 6: they lose, you're talking about the deaths of thousands, if 374 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 6: not tens of thousands of more. 375 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: By the way, can we just pause there. Let's start 376 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 1: with them not losing. Let's start with them not losing. 377 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: Let's go back to the question. I have the transcript here, 378 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: and I want to really dissect this quote. I'm still 379 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: sure on the specifics of what victory looks like. Do 380 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: you think and this is again going to a Senator 381 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: Mark Kelly. He's on the Armed Services Committee, he's a 382 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: Democrat obsessed with this Ukrainian war. Again, I'm still short 383 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: on the specifics of what victory looks like. Do you 384 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 1: think it's Ukraine retaking Crimea because it doesn't seem like 385 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 1: there's the political will to get them the kind of 386 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 1: aid that you would need to do that. Kelly, it's 387 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 1: a senator spending your tax hour saying, quote, well, let's 388 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: start with them not losing. I mean, if they lose, 389 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: you're talking about the deaths of thousand and then listen 390 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: to the rest of his answer here, which is totally 391 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: just bananas foreign policy. 392 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 6: Or Ukrainians and their families. The Russians have stolen children. 393 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 6: I mean, that's not who we are to let that 394 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 6: happen to one of our allies. This thing has not 395 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 6: gone exactly as we would have liked. But if you 396 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 6: go back two years, we thought Russia was going to 397 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,439 Speaker 6: run through this country in a matter of just days 398 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 6: or weeks. They have not done that, and with our support, 399 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 6: we can help them fight back against this dictator. We 400 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 6: cannot give Plutin this Christmas present. I mean, he's looking 401 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 6: for this, he's waiting. He even commented on what happened 402 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 6: here last week. You know, when we started, it seemed 403 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 6: like we had some trouble here. And you know who 404 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 6: else is watching this. It's the Chinese president, you know, 405 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 6: the leadership in Iran, the dictator in North Korea. They're 406 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 6: watching what's happening here. And if we fail, if we 407 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 6: fail in this moment, you know, I think history is 408 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 6: not going to judge us. 409 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,959 Speaker 1: Well, all right now, let me blow that argument out 410 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,959 Speaker 1: the out of the just complete water. He's saying that 411 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: you must do this, advocate this, support this, because if 412 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: you don't, these other dictators and tyrants are watching right 413 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: now and they're going to learn. Well, if that was 414 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 1: the case, and explain to me our withdrawal from Afghanistan, 415 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: and what do they learn from that scenario? Can someone 416 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: answer me that questions? Serious question? Can you answer me 417 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: that question? Because they learned that America will cut and 418 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 1: run and take orders from actual terrorists in in Afghanistan. 419 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: So this idea, now that we have a moral obligation 420 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 1: to do this because if we don't do it, then 421 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,439 Speaker 1: somehow the world's going to spend even more chaos, is 422 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: total insanity because because if that was the case, then 423 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 1: we would have never pulled out on an arbitrary anniversary 424 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 1: of nine to eleven, and we would have never pulled out, 425 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: never pulled out of Afghanistan the way that we did. 426 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: Yet that's exactly what we did. And why do you 427 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: think that Russia moved into Ukraine? The reason why they 428 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: did it, folks, is actually really simple. The reason why 429 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: they did is because they realized that America had become 430 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: a paper tiger and that Joe Biden wasn't going to 431 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: do jack crap to really stop them. In fact, we 432 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: really haven't done much to stop them so far. Just 433 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: to put it in perspective for you, Okay, we actually haven't. 434 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 2: We've said a bunch of money. 435 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: We've loaded the coffers of Ukrainian oligarchs, and that's another problem. 436 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 1: And people are really excited about that, like they love 437 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: that that has happened, that we have loaded the coffers 438 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: of these people in ukrain especially the Democratic side. But 439 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: this also goes back to the bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger issue. 440 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: Ukraine is taking our dollars and they're funneling it to 441 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 1: their family and their friends. First, then they're fighting a 442 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: war second, okay, Second, they love the money that's coming 443 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: in from US, and the Ukraine. I'm not really sure 444 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 1: Ukraine's trying to win this war. I think they're learning 445 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: to just kind of live with this war. And I'm 446 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: talking about the leadership. I'm not talking about the soldiers. 447 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about the front lines. I'm talking about 448 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 1: the people in charge in Ukraine. Because this is the 449 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: greatest way to have a massive influx of dollars coming 450 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: into your country at a level that you could have 451 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: never imagined before without a war taking place. And that's 452 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: a fact, Like that's just very clear. So when people 453 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: say to me, I had a debate today with Piers 454 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: Morgan on his TV show, and he's like, I never 455 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 1: thought I would have seen today when Republicans were against 456 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 1: fighting Russia. That's not what I've said. I'm in favor 457 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: of fighting Russia. I'm not in favor of enriching the 458 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: lives of corrupt oligarchs in Ukraine under disguise of fighting Russia. 459 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 1: I'm also not in favor of borrowing money to send 460 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 1: it to Ukraine, which is then being embezzled by the 461 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 1: people in Ukraine in leadership, while we also aren't protecting 462 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: our own southern border, which goes back to exactly what 463 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: we were talking. 464 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 2: About a moment ago. 465 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: I am completely in favor of having a bill that 466 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 1: says fined as some Ukrainian funding as long as you 467 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 1: are also securing our southern border at the same time. 468 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,400 Speaker 1: I'm in favor of that also. So do not believe 469 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 1: that the Democrats will go for that. And the reason 470 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:09,360 Speaker 1: why is because it's not about beating Russia. It's about 471 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:15,439 Speaker 1: funneling money into Ukraine. They're against securing our southern border 472 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,400 Speaker 1: because they want to fundamentally change this country, radically change 473 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: this country. Look at the housing numbers for a second 474 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 1: and look at how much they are connected to what's 475 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 1: happening in our economy. The numbers that have come out 476 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: I mentioned this on the show a couple of days ago, 477 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 1: are showing that home ownership at this point right now 478 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: is veach is basically not an option for a significant 479 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 1: portion of younger people in America due to the high 480 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: prices Number one, okay, due to the high prices most 481 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 1: importantly of the houses, on top of the interest rates 482 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: that have exploded under the Biden administration. So why are 483 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: we spending all this money that's making our inflation go 484 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,680 Speaker 1: even higher, our debt go even higher, our interest rates 485 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,199 Speaker 1: going even higher, when we obviously can't afford to be 486 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 1: sending this money to Ukraine. And then the second thing 487 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 1: is why are we punishing American homeowners or prospective homeowners, 488 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: Because when you have eight million people come across the 489 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: border illegally under the Biden administration, they're buying up houses, 490 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 1: and they're competing with millions of Americans for affordable places 491 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: to live that would include rent, affordable places to rent. 492 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: That's part of the problem here. And I'm tired of 493 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: funding these foreign wars without a definition of victory, what 494 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: success looks like. And they've figured it out. They get it, 495 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 1: they understand it. They're playing us. They've been playing us 496 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: for years. Every time again these wars, the rich get 497 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: richer who invest in this, and then the little guy 498 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 1: gets hurt, Our American citizens get hurt. How many times 499 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 1: our own lives are lost? Right, don't forget that, Okay, 500 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 1: don't do not forget that?
