I can't remember graham ever voting against a war anywhere anytime
Ukraine is money pit, the soldiers are gone Ukraine is forcing Women to fight, next Biden will send illegal immigrants, road to citizenship!
Punk
Trump has got the hold of these warmongers. 1. They know Ukraine is losing. 2. They don’t want to be accused of being complicit in genocide in Israel.
I think he knows Trump be 47.
right! must be election time.lol
This man is a shameless con artist.
Definitely starts with a “c” and ends with “t” but not what I had in mind.
Gross more gross most gross
Apparently he has a bug collection. 😜
He is a fake not an artist,he must pay for all crimes.
Lindsey graham: “im gonna explain why I'm voting against funding this bill. If I do not vote against this bill I am going to lose my job.”
TAKE CARE OF THE U.S.A. FIRST
Orange not putting USA FIRST HIS PUTTING PUTIN AND RUSSIA FIRST FOOL
we would have been much better , if they even thought about American the people
True!!! AMEN!! THANK YOU!!!
@@Olivia-dx3go do you have any clue how much the current administration has forced Russia into a corner. It’s 💯 percent the fault of their NATO military industrial complex. Do a little research on the cause of this conflict before making any conclusions about what is happening. The conflict between the two countries is caused mainly by the constant meddling in other countries affairs by the United States.
@@Olivia-dx3gohow is he doing that? He hit them with harder sanctions than any other administration.
Let's face it. Graham is voting no on war funding only because his re-election depends on it.
That's called politics.
You mean his denied allegations of being gay depends on it
if hailey wasn't a joke of a candidate he would be voting yes.
That is what makes Trump a leader, he inspires people to do better themselves.
And that's a problem how? We elect Senators for reasons, and we vote against them for reasons. If Graham is responding to his constituents and doing their bidding, then he is doing his job. And reelection is based on that.
Just because he's voting no on this doesn't undo all the horrible decisions he's made aligning himself with his warmongering Democrat brethren.hope his constituents aren't as short sighted as so many seem to be nowadays as he'll be pandering for the establishment in no time again
The Goverment should be helping the American and not the other countries
Lindse Graham has no spine …I am amazed he can stand up
And the truth is he probably goes where money flows. No wonder he never married , he’s so narcissistic. Or has a partner we know of. One thing Putin did in his interview was point the finger at Obama and the intelligence community. And Zelensky for killing the Orthodox Church christians. I do believe that. He tried a few fear tactics and uplifted XI. Saying china was booming and growing while we all know they are in danger of collapse. What China planned for us is befalling them. I do not buy China made products. I hunt for Japanese made if the US doesn’t make it.
Well, a spine won't get you re-elected. Almost every republican senator that opposes maga is on their way out.
What a fool .
I called him a double-tongued snake but he is more of a worm actually.
@@patmat. You Have got that right.
If the Senate has so much money to aid and fund any foreign country then they should have enough money to fund our country, Social Security, Medicare/ Medicaid and our Military Veterans. The House and Senate always have the ability to find and have the money to aid and fund foreign countries, illegals, give themselves pay raises while totally ignoring the country and the legal tax paying American citizens. This is a perfect example of why we need to VOTE OUT every politician who is up for reelection from ALL parties and groups.
The ENTIRE Republican party went on a spending spree just as bad as these Democrats. Both sides have sold us out for special interests.
Absolutely
@@CMB21497
I guess "all parties" was too confusing for you
Don't be rude.
Democrats just raised Social Security checks on a cost-of-living increase, and ceilinged the cost on insulin at $35 a month. Republicans voted AGAINST it. Who is REALLY putting America first? MAGA only cares for you if you're a billionaire.
NO AID to foreign countries@!!
There is no general provision for foreign aid in the United States Constitution. The Tenth Amendment says that the Federal Government only has those powers delegated in the Constitution. If it isn't listed, it belongs to the states OR TO THE PEOPLE. They claim that the United States is a "Democracy", the essence of democracy is majority rule & the majority of us have a problem with these so called leaders sending our money overseas to help these countries, when we have our own problems that need solving.
That makes it unconstitutional.
Only people that don't contribute much to the system think like that. We are affected by what happens globally. So it's not so simple
@kathymott1187 specially for those with lost caus.
What Lindsey Graham says and what he does is always two different things.
The lineup of men at the border wasn't to his taste
Graham is financed by the Military Industrial Complex
and don't forget AIPAC
Like every jew loving democrat. What else is new?
sure, everybody knows it...
@kathymott1187 you are spot on, we need to take care of us, Americans first!!
The parents and families, that throughout our military history, would give up their lives to join the service are tired of getting called homegrown terrorists. Fight your own battles not getting anymore of our children.
Right!
YES Myself and my 2 SON's were proud to serve our country, so don't ever talk bad about our Military, if you haven't ever severed.
preach
So Sad, so many died for that hot mess.
@@james-rd4dq@ it's not your military it belongs to the Globalist Elites time to wake up and get out of make believe world 🤔
I don't recall Nato asking to be paid back when they came to help USA in 911
Lindsey Graham basically: “I believe I can be America first while at the same time voting to fund every war on foreign soil that comes before me.”
He's saying Not on This one This time
Bc he saves his money and uses our to find Nazi Ukraine. Zelensky going to DAVOS exposes what people researched on other engines not related to Google. With pics of Zelensky in a SUIT with a gas can to burn down and old orthadox church. Tortured and killed the head bishop bc “I will not have anyone making more money than me greasing the wheels of Ukraine”. No signs of war until people noticed , so literally old ww2 tanks shown going across a field. Service men noticed and said hey, those aren’t the right tanks. Even the stunt of suddenly announcing Putin had been stealing children and indoctrinating them AFTER 2 YEARS. So NATO charged him with war crimes. But went no where. After seeing the Tucker Carlson interview I knew what military people were saying is true. Putin knows about Biden , Obama, and others if he told they would all be in prison. Especially Hillary.
Of course he has never said anything like this. At least I have not heard this, and do not see how it is consistent with prior statements by Graham.
@@richardbayer5702 I figured the satire was obvious. He just called for direct attacks on Iran. He’s as war hawk as they come. The only thing stopping him at this point is the backlash he would face because the American people are sick of the open border. He pretty much said exactly that in this video. I’m not aware of a time he hasn’t voted for funding Ukraine or Israel wars so what part of what I said is really inaccurate?
Lindsey needs to retire just like Moscow Mitch.
THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH CAROLINA NEED TO RETIRE HIM NOW!!!!
Beijing Mitch his old lady is Yang Sue Lin
What about genocide Joe?
He will retire once those allegations of being gay come forward
@@kippakeppa1731what about the 91 criminal felonies with the orange cheese puff
A month ago he was ranting so loud his face turned red, wanting foreign aid. But, he hadn't spoken to Trump yet either.
True so was Johnson but he talking to trump now and got scared of getting oust by gop Republicans.
Why are there no rules that an x president can't get envolved
All I can say is thank God Trump has talked some sense into these lunatics. Ukraine is lost. It was just a last chance saloon grift before the wheels fly off Ukraine.
LoL
@ivia-dx3go ask Obama
@@Olivia-dx3goask Obama
Did you ever notice how it is much easier to spend someone else's money?
Yes every tax season and every time some politician tries to bribe me with "free stuff" or service from the grubberment.
The cause of freedom is not the cause of a race or a sect, a party or a class- it is the cause of humankind, the very birthright of humanity. Democracy must prevail presidents must continue kings belong to other places.
Trying to make Afghanistan seem like Trump didn't have anything to do with it. Trump was about to pull all our troops from bases around the world. Also, many on the right were tired of wars overseas, hence the America First slogan.
That's how they get voters
NO AID AMERICA FIRST
True!!! AMEN, THANK YOU!!!
AID FOR AMERICAN'S, WE GOT PROBLEM'S.
No aide to other countries until our border is closed and illegal's are returned to their own country. Mayorkus has to go immediately. Those that voted against impeachment of Mayorkus need to start looking for another job. The people want action now.
stay on track the republican party says there is no crisis on the border pay attention you bad just sprouting conspiracy theories
Fascism eats you alive
Do you also stop walking to chew gum?
@@alrok007you seriously believe that's fascism?
You have to be able to help yourself before your able to help others...
That's basically as elemental as it gets. How could we help anyone when we allow our very own president to weaken us everyday that we allow illegal immigrants that don't belong here cost more each day individually than most make everyday???
Most of us couldn't ever stay in the places our government is paying for them as many of our own people can't afford it.
And these people contribute nothing but increasing debt without helping those contributing.
So who is the fascists???
Those requiring the poor to keep paying taxes to a Government who gives it away to those that are not holding a valid claim to it...
No aid full stop. $34trn in debt which the Fed said this week is unsustainable. Time to stop spending. The coffers are empty.
Intentionally muted by youtube
HR2 isn't the reason for losing 1 Republican and if the Senate needs 11 Dems that means 12 Senators need to be kicked the hell out of the Senate. Vote in new better blood.
no bills are better than bad bills. shut the government down till the next administration is sworn in. democrats told me SS has plenty of money so seniors will still get their checks. No one else will, and that is OK with me. obamacare is affordable, so no one will lose coverage.
Close the border down with a national emergency order.
Thank you Mr. Gramm, makes things crystal clear and too, have seen the light flickers!
He's blatantly lying to you about so many things here That should be something to look into.
🇺🇸CLOSE OUR BORDERS FIRST‼️🇺🇸 SECURE AMERICA‼️🇺🇸 Then we can talk about other countries.
EXACTLY! ❤
The DEM immigration allows 5000 illegal crossing a week how many a year by calculation?
Mr. Graham. Thank you for educating me. Thank you sir having common sense.
He lied to you probably 20 times. You should look into that.
Would the United States allow Russia to build up weapons in Cuba ? So why would Putin not have a problem with Nato putting weapons in Ukraine.
there should no aid to any country including israel
Imagine you not in NATO, China and Russia attack USA same time, your on your own .. being apart of NATO moto, attack one country all NATO countries will defend you .. This is allowing the possibility of Putin to roll right through Ukraine and further do a Hilter, and yes there will be world war 3 .. countries send military weapons to stop this from happening .. Japan send humanitarian assistance because they are not allowed weapons .. the border bill made by Republicans the strongest in decades .. trump dosen't want it .. if American dosen't work with other countries, you're on your own .. And trust me Putin will not hesitate to send nuclear your way .. trump did the most bombing in Iraq and Syria .. even dropping big ones..
I don’t know about that in respect to if there’s proof that any country who proves that they need food and medicine I feel it’s best to help. Gaza and Palestine are saying that HAMAS is not allowing food getting to the civilians. Can you live with a conscience of people dying because they are not eating or have medicine? Yes our borders must have a huge big wall on both sides and every ship searched everyday. I think God has blessed America because it helps the needy of other countries
@@onewotldgovernmentonlywhen9044 part of the border bill has humanitarian aid, going to Gaza.. but trump told Republicans not to sign the Republican border bill .. hes causing alot of harm in America and around the world ..
Especially no aid to Israel
It is the Israeli protesters who are not allowing food to Gaza
Graham has no backbone or conviction. He's like one of those rooster wind gages that changes direction constantly.
How many minutes are spent vetting each arrival ? Vetting not processing. Mandatory ?
that was torture listening to an hour long speech that basically boils down to voting no because there is no border bill. when the GOP refused to pass the border bill. he could have just stated, I do what the Donald tells me to do
All Biden has to do is put Trumps policies back. And our broaders safe again.
Does it really take this long to just say " because The Donald told me to???? ;)
If any additional monies for foreign Wars are appropriated then the elected officials that vote for foreign arms and wars should be required to go to these war zones and fight alongside in battle those they are funding throughout the duration of the funding. Governors of the state's they represent can appoint new senators or congressmen until special elections are held locally while our reps are out in the field fighting their wars. If they survive they may run again in the next election cycle.
That was bush's biggest mistake. He needed to call up kerry, and send him to Bagdad as the only expert on rape in war. Then if he survived he can testify before congress again.
Thank you for voting on the side of all Americans
CLOSE THE EFIN BORDER
No Congress does not seem to learn. The lesson is don't start wars!
Graham forgot that we lost both wars.
Basically, he said that Israel has him in their pocket, not only palestine is occupied but also the usa and Europe.
BECAUSE AMERICA IS BROKE AND WE THE PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING
I lived in San Diego until 1997. Nothing, apparently, has changed. They streamed over the border, they climbed over the fence, through 'Goat Canyon'. and up the freeway on the middle strip. No surprise any of this. And now It's the Suprerbowl. What is this, bread and circuses?
AND----
Mr. Graham: BIDEN ALSO HAS NO CARE FOR OUR TROOPS:
"How many US troops are still in Afghanistan 2023?"
As of March 2023, Secretary of State Antony Blinken estimated there were “about 175” Americans still left in Afghanistan, some of whom are being detained by the Taliban.Aug 14, 2023
According to what the oridginal numbers that I heard were 9000 along with Pics. and adresses. No man left behind no more since the weak Joe Biden has arrived
you said 175 Americans but how many Troops? Trump attempted a total withdrawal by early December 2020.
Thank God one of the few adults were still in the room.
SAD. I heard thousands in house oversight hearing.
TRUMP is the one who made the deal in afghanistan look it up
@@user-gz1jk9tj6d Well we know of at least 13 biden left on the road outside the airport.
You are saying the country with the most ships will win the war, i thought it had a lot to do with how they are armed and how we use them
I agree reject the bill foreign aid bill REJECT IT !!!!
Rumors Zelensky has recently blew money on 2 yachts, and that his wife went on a Parisian shopping spree are not looking good for his plea for yet MORE MONEY!!!
Lindsey Graham is Nikki Haley in one inch heels.
How can a country that is 34 Trillion Dollars in Debt continue sending Billions of unfunded taxpayer money to other countries.?? Time for taxpayers to revolt against the incompetent people in Congress.
Miss Lindsey is Wrong Again
Mr Sally the bot
Miss rainwater Red Hat Stooge@@rainewaters6371
I know that I'm Hard on you a lot of the time Lindsey but this was a good job you did on this one well said pilgrim
No to foreign aid AMERICA FIRST...
Thank you Lindsey . China Russia and Iran are happy right now
Lol , you want to fight with Russia?! Go on , Zelenski need more man cause he has none left..Why exactly US need to fund a war , 10 000 km way , which has nothing to do with US?
I’m delighted. You know that America is now being implicated in the genocide accusation against Israel.
No they ain't if Ukraine don't get any money They can't benefit from this Game
that is because biden is giving them Ukraine, and the middle east. and he is using all his build back China money to buy their EV chargers.
@@luzmitchell5033 Ukraine was invaded because biden needed the evidence against hunter destroyed. Putin is only attacking the energy sector and civilians, the only places where the evidence would be.
About time he grew a pair.
Thank you Senator Graham for an excellent presentation and explanations. Thank you to your staff for the great visuals. You stay in our daily prayers - keep up the hard work in fighting for America. Blessings. 😔🙏🏽📖 🇺🇸
Say what you will about LG, but he's a warmonger. Joke is there was never a war he didn't want to start.
Someone who has a bunch of money and lives in SC buy a few 1000,s sitckers and put them on stop signs, anywhere public.
"Vote No for Grahams" like a pot synonym
Pure hypocrisy
he finally decides to do the right thing. probably since he's getting primaried by NOrman R-SC
You're voting no because you're Trump's lapdog.. Just admit it, Miss Lindsey, you'll feel better.
I totally agree with you Senator Graham
Finally...yeah sure made many mistakes even when "the lights were blinking."
Lindsey is a coward. He didn't vote his conscience. HE voted Trump's conscience or Party conscience. He sounds good until his cowardice takes over. He is pathetic.
Even denying allegations of being gay
@@princecashUout I didn't knw that. More proof they lied to the SCOTUS, lots of gay people were married, the case was a sham.
trump is not for WAR.
I agree. Lindsey knows better. He's kow towing to Trump. A shameless sellout. I've supported him before. Now I'm mad.
why do you support endless WARS?@@bumpkinskill
Casualties and losses
Summer 2021:
13 killed
(11 Marines, 1 Navy corpsman, 1 Soldier)
Unknown
Afghan civilian casualties (Summer 2021):[6]
100+ killed
100+ wounded
The United States Armed Forces completed their withdrawal from Afghanistan on 30 August 2021, marking the end of the 2001-2021 war. In February 2020, the Trump administration and the Taliban signed the United States-Taliban deal in Doha, Qatar,[7] which stipulated fighting restrictions for both the US and the Taliban, and provided for the withdrawal of all NATO forces from Afghanistan in return for the Taliban's counter-terrorism commitments. The deal, and then the Biden administration's final decision in April 2021 to pull out all US troops by September 2021 without leaving a residual force, were the two critical events that triggered the start of the collapse of the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF).[8] Following the deal, the US dramatically reduced the number of air attacks on the Taliban at the detriment the ANSF fighting the Taliban insurgency, leading to the Taliban takeover of Kabul on 15 August 2021.[9]
As part of the United States-Taliban deal, the Trump administration agreed to an initial reduction of US forces from 13,000 to 8,600 troops by July 2020, followed by a complete withdrawal by 1 May 2021, if the Taliban kept its commitments.[10] At the start of the Biden administration, there were 2,500 US soldiers remaining in Afghanistan and, in April 2021, Biden said the US would not begin withdrawing these soldiers before 1 May, but would complete the withdrawal symbolically by 11 September.[11][12] The Taliban began a final offensive on 1 May and, on 8 July, Biden moved up the completion date to 31 August.[13][14] There were about 650 US troops in Afghanistan in early August 2021, tasked with protecting Hamid Karzai International Airport and the US Embassy in Kabul.[15][16] NATO's Resolute Support Mission concluded on 12 July 2021[17] while US intelligence assessments estimated as late as July that Kabul would fall within months or weeks following withdrawal of all American forces from Afghanistan, the security situation deteriorated rapidly.[18][19]
The US also launched Operation Allies Refuge to airlift the American translators and select Afghan citizens considered at risk of reprisals and US Forces Afghanistan Forward was established on 7 July 2021 as a successor command overseeing the evacuation of all American diplomatic, security, advisory, and counter-terrorism personnel remaining in the country after the withdrawal of US troops. On 12 August 2021, following continued Taliban victories across Afghanistan, the Biden administration announced that 3,000 US troops would be deployed to Kabul Airport to evacuate embassy personnel, US nationals and Special Immigrant Visa applicants.[20][21] With the rapid advance of the Taliban in the provinces, on 14 August the US increased its troop commitment to 5,000.[22] On 15 August, with the fall of Kabul, another 1,000 troops were deployed,[23] and on 16 August, a further 1,000 troops were deployed, bringing the total number of troops to 7,000. The last US military planes left Kabul airport at 11:59 p.m. Kabul time on 30 August 2021.[24]
Following the US withdrawal, around one thousand American citizens and Afghans holding US or other visas were held up by the Taliban with the US government not authorizing their departure.[25][26] On 28 and 29 September 2021, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley and United States Central Command (CENTCOM) commander Gen. Frank McKenzie were among the numerous Defense Department officials who denied during Congressional testimonies President Biden's previous claim that his decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan was because of advice from senior US military leaders and stated that they had in fact advised him to keep some troops in Afghanistan.
If we are weak, we can not help you! 🙄
TRUMP FIRST AMERICA AND AMERICANS LAST ..
What's Nato for aren't they supposed to be there for that reason if not then why do we need Nato
Trump told him to flip again.
we tired of nato and its warmongers...
Just vote no more money to Ukraine & other countries, just take care America first if not you all who are gif this bill are against us, you’re the enemy not the friend, so if you vote in favor we are watching & vote you out of office, people wake up & do the right thing for us the working class 💯
Rare rational talk from Senator Graham. 👏
Can you sum it up in a paragraph? If you can't there's no main idea to be further elaborated, and it's bad.
Vote no !unless exit strategy , and close borders first
No. The consequences of this move are severe.
Graham, you are the one that has lost "VISION"
Prices are up 40 % ,you are killing the middle class !
Look at how much money he's wasted visiting these other countries there's no need for him to go over there.
Guess Americans will have to start a go-fund-me for Israel!
Thank you, Senator G. BUT the House must not revise HR2, which best address the needs at the border. Make the Dems pass it and tell Dems to not make it political. 🇺🇸
It won't pass. Republicans don't want it, either.
biden now says he supports HR2. He says he wants to secure the border now.
Thanks, Senator Graham, for your commentary.
Whatever the US domestic politics are, i'm glad to see at least some republicans, at least attempting to go against the cult leader.
How can anyone vote for this man?
With 4 republication voting for democrats, I don't think we can do anything in the house. These four Republicans voted for Mayorkus to stay in power. Now what.
Y'all are such Wonderful Christians ! BLESS YOUR HEART ! 📜🇺🇸🪖🌊
Stop printing, spending money we don't have!
What took you so long Senator Neo-Con Warmonger?
100% anything given should be a loan
So, pass the border bill!!!
close the borders
Just close the boarder !!!!
What does Trump have to do with anything??? He is not president right now!
Lisdesy would send his own grandson to Ukraine to fight on the front lines if he got a big envolope full of money. The aduaicy of this man is really insane, to say other people have blood on their hands is crazy... Just complete insane.
This RINO has no shame.
Vote Madame Graham out next primary election!!
Senator Graham proposes a good plan. I stand with Graham and Trump.
who's paying GRAHAM? follow the money
I Hope Obama is listening
I'm tired of hearing my government keeps helping everyone else but us citizens. My husband and I lost our jobs then our home. Now we live in a van. Where's my help from my government?
No volume
We can't trust Lindsey Graham.
Your children and grandchildren will be stuck with this debt. We've done enough, always been their for other Countries. Who helps us? We need to take care of our own now. America first!
This Is Why I'll Be Voting NO For Lindsey Graham in 2026!!
