=== Ukraine's Top Priority (03:02) ===

[00:00:00]  Well, guys, huge news for Republicans.
[00:00:03]  Huge, huge, one would say, with a capital Y. According to Mitch McConnell, Ukraine is the number one priority of Republicans.
[00:00:16]  Not gas prices, not like 7%, probably more, inflation prices.
[00:00:23]  Not the spikes in violent crime that are destroying our formerly great cities.
[00:00:31]  Not even the 20,000 or so illegals per day crossing the southern border.
[00:00:38]  Definitely not the fentanyl scourge that is crushing...
[00:00:44]  Everyone equally, right?
[00:00:46]  Whether young, old, rich, poor, none of that.
[00:00:50]  You know, the southern border, all the stuff, the human trafficking, that's not our number one priority.
[00:00:56]  But the Ukraine is.
[00:00:58]  That's weird. That's weird.
[00:01:01]  And it's news to me, folks.
[00:01:04]  I had no idea that that was Republicans' number one priority.
[00:01:08]  I mean, I'm out there a lot.
[00:01:10]  I go all over the country.
[00:01:12]  I speak to Republican groups everywhere.
[00:01:14]  And I don't know that a single one of them has actually told me That's our number one priority.
[00:01:23]  In fact, many of them can't believe we're blowing $130 billion, just so we're clear.
[00:01:30]  $130 billion, approximately, with the new $45 billion that they've just given, is literally more money in one year.
[00:01:40]  Then the combined amount of military aid to Afghanistan from 1946 to 2019.
[00:01:49]  Just for a little perspective, okay?
[00:01:51]  So when Mitch McConnell tells us it's the number one priority, nothing that actually affects you at home, nothing that hurts your wallet, affects your child's future, their education.
[00:02:04]  No, no, no. The number one priority is Ukraine.
[00:02:08]  And that's weird. Again, I've traveled the world.
[00:02:11]  I have yet to meet a single Republican whose number one priority that is.
[00:02:15]  I have not met one person.
[00:02:17]  It's probably not top five for most Republicans around the country.
[00:02:22]  But none of this should surprise us.
[00:02:23]  Because that disconnect between a DC swamp creature who's just trying to get the military industrial complex rich You know, pay back his lobbyist friends, send more missiles to start a nuclear war with Russia.
[00:02:37]  I mean, what could go wrong, folks?
[00:02:38]  Of course that's their number one priority.
[00:02:41]  You know what isn't their number one priority?
[00:02:43]  You, the American public, your children, your livelihoods, your and their future.

=== Don't Be Beholden (00:31) ===

[00:02:51]  That's clearly not a priority, because it's Ukraine.
[00:02:55]  And you all saw it this week with the Zelensky photo op, okay?
[00:02:59]  Remember that, folks.
[00:03:00]  DC isn't your friend.
[00:03:02]  You don't want someone beholden to DC. You don't want someone beholden to the billionaire donor class.
[00:03:10]  These kind of nonsense, that kind of ridiculousness, that's the logic it gets you.
[00:03:17]  You're last.
