No aid, fix America.
Agree! America first!
@@shannonrank656 It doesn't end with Ukraine. Just like it didn't end with Czechoslovakia.
America First in 1938 were geniuses.
By 1942 they were Nazi sympathizers.
America First didn't do well with Nazi Imperialism. It is not doing well with Russian Imperialism, what Putin calls "Historical Russia" (a Soviet Reunion), either.
STOP PAYING TAXES ALL TOGETHER!
AMERICA can't fix itself with government spending.
The only sober voice in congress.
He should be president. Replace Mitch at the very least.
Chip Roy
Don't forget Rand Paul , Ted Cruze Chip Roy ,ETC.
@@g-man8980 The US Congress is bicameral. It's composed of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Rand Paul is a congressman as a senator.
@@southerncatlady6680He believes in 1A, you know the thing leftist are using against conservatives.
Gosh, we don't even have money to give our citizens clean water in Flint, Michigan, and give health care for the poor.
Flint is not a problem, nor was it about money
He has tones of money and he would never understand what you saying
@@Zzzooooppp so what's the problem?
@@Vista-gn1pb ? Not Flint? That was solved a long time ago and it wasn’t a problem in the first place because of a lack of money
Those are the responsibility of local jurisdictions, talk to your local government about these problems. While you're at it, learn about the division of power in the US. If you think the federal government can do anything, Texas would have its borders opened. It doesn't.
The amount of money going over there is insane.
It’s less than 1% of our annual military budget.
That's the price for proxy war that your war mongering colonial empire is waging
Wow bro 10 billion a month is not 1% of 700 billion per year if you know math.
@@micahlukac7885 keep printing money, it will end up good for whole world, and I mean it will lead to de-colonization
@@adeelliaqat5899 wow, bro. $10 billion a month huh? $75 billion over 2 years ain’t 10/month, bro. Your math needs some work, bro.
2024 budget is $840 billion. The latest bill that got rejected by pro Russian/Putin sympathizing Republicans was around $60 billion for Ukraine(2/3 old outdated equipment) show me your long division skills.
why can't Ukraine print their own money?
Cause they are at war , and they don’t have billions and billions to compete with Russia . They are broke.
Exactly! who are we to pay for all their crap?
The Ukraine Government 🇺🇦 is full of corruption, just like the American Government
That's what we do here in this country. Want to cancel student loans? Print several billions and, voila!
As usual, my comment was taken down.
It seems that UA-cam doesn't want you to be critical of the governments of both countries.
We could have built ten walls around the entire continental United States and Alaska with the money we’ve given to Ukraine 🤨
I have no idea why we have open borders
Clearvaluetax states it best.
Include the BILLIONS OF TAXPAYER'S DOLLARS WE GIVE TO ISRAEL EACH YEAR AND TRUMP SIGNED A TEN YEAR DEAL TO GIVE IT TO THEM FOR 10 YEARS.
WHAT IS ISRAEL DOING FOR AMERICA?
RIGHT NOW. WITH ALL OUR OWN PROBLEMS WE ARE GIVING THEM MORE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND WE HAVE HOMELESS PEOPLE LIVING IN THE STREETS, SOME AMERICA ARE FOOD DEPRIVED, THE COMPANIES HAVE NOT LOWERED THE COST OF GOODS FROM THE PANDEMIC AND MUCH MORE.
ARE THERE ANY HOMELESS PEOPLE IN ISRAEL? PROBABLY NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE BUILDING HOUSING WITH AMERICAN TAXPAYER'S DOLLARS.
Ukraine AND israel.
@@Lyndanet Democrats need voters, they know they can't chance the steal this election knowing the GOP will be monitoring with an eagles eye.
Printing all this free money will have some serious consequences to hardworking Americans in a long run.
I think Boris Johnson should pay for Ukraine, since he didn’t want them to sign the truce with Russia 😂
Exactly. But the thing is that the West is delusional in a way, they think it's that easy to break up Russia into ten new countries and rob it of its resources. But the USA and UK have a second objective, if they fail to break up Russia, they will push Western Europe in a war against Russia, ruined Europe is still a win for the USA.
Utmost respect Rand Paul.
It doesn't end with Ukraine. Just like it didn't end with Czechoslovakia.
America First in 1938 were geniuses.
By 1942 they were Nazi sympathizers.
America First didn't do well with Nazi Imperialism. It is not doing well with Russian Imperialism, what Putin calls "Historical Russia" (a Soviet Reunion), either.
Imagine what we could of done w that money being used in America
Add all the money wasted on the flu and lock downs to that
Sure. like the spending on infrastructure , social safety newt that gets voted down near every year by those whose top priority is always tax cuts for the already wealthy.
The US government doesn't like to help its own people.
Inflation.
like what? give it to billionaires like trump does.
The Americans only complain about sending money to Ukraine but will never complain about sending money to Israel
US is a territory of the Khazarian Zionists. The money we give Israel is a tribute from a colony to the colonist.
Ukraine gets money and weapons from several countries.
Russia gets supplies and weapons from only a couple of countries.
Palestine gets money and weapons from several countries.
Israel gets money and weapons from only one country.
This is totally outrageous. The people are furious!
Not furious enough to vote for Trump. No matter how bad it gets, there are those who will NEVER vote for Trump, no matter what.
@roywilkowski2326 we call them educated people
@@d17a2dudeyou like the current situation ?
He cheese I’m Mussolini for dolo. Aid (tricking) is redefined as capitalism welcome to America
why can't we do this for our country
We should claim ownership of Ukraine now.
We initiated a coup there in 2014 which started the conflict. Go figure why we even did that .
@@uktennnisboy Yup, I remember a certain lady handing out cookies in the street's of Kiev.
Blackrock allready made a deal with Lil'Z.
Yeah, Lindsay knows all about how to spend the money to make it happen...@@uktennnisboy
no that would start the cold war again
Need a new law when the congress is in session they are required to be in place or dock their pay minimum of 1,000 a day for no show.
We need to stop spending so much in other countries. If you can not take care of yourself, you can not help others.
Wish all senators were as astute as Senator Rand Paul.
Where was him when senate sent first one.
Lmfao. Keep the blanket over your head. 😂😂
@@jamest4424Trump’24 or all is lost
@holoholohaolenokaoi2299 with that attitude it's already lost.
You must be joking? 😂
America should have great schools, beautiful streets and infrastructure, safe communities before we send any money to any other country
Not gonna happen
Republicans would not allow that - unless they can figure a way to skim 50%.
Need to fix our schools replace trash with classes that enable students to get jobs. Bring back the basic courses, shop, weapon safety, civics, constitution, history, science. Limit use of computer in classes. Teach them to write. We are dropping each year in workd standings. Time to rebuild. Parents right to choose schools too.
And it would if Americans were in charge.
Lol great schools? Infrastructure? I'm from Texas. Let me know when Republicans want to deliver on good schools and infrastructure lmfao
10% is for the big guy 😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅❤❤
The $$$ should be given to Americans before anyone or anything else.
oh no, that's "antisemitism"...

I’m from Russia, and I’m really looking forward to Mr. Trump becoming president! Rand Paul is one of the few smart people in power in the US
Hello! I'm from Kharkov and I think so too!
True.
so avoid every democrat in the road..
Hello I'm from Ukraine.
The United States is weakening you continuously.
With out using their military.
They just pay us.
@@Rah2842 Only figuratively.
Being from Russia, of course you want Trump for President.
We have our OWN PEOPLE STARVING and can't make ends meet. Stop sending money to other countries!
The thing is that money will end up in private pockets of a few people, I have seen it myself during the civil war in ex Yugoslavia, I was eight years old when it started. We were supposed to collapse in peace like SSSR and Chezchoslovakia but Bill Clinton promised Bosnian Muslims their own Islamic state without us Serbs if they start a civil war so they did. The main difference between Yugoslavian and Ukrainian war is that Europe made a lot of money on the ex YU war but they are poorer and more divided with every passing day by the Ukraine war.
You have Freedom.
Yes the 60 minutes programming turned me right around on Ukraine. As a typical voter I had no idea how the money was spent - foolishly just thought military support.
They supported a country at war using... military support? *gasp*
Given your comment you still have no idea how the money is spent 😂
Nop. Weapons. Buying Ukranian land. Paying for Zelenzky luxury trips. Paying for the healthcare of their soldiers.
If they took all the money they have given the Ukranians and give them to the American people . Everyone from +18 would recieve 293,084,417 dollars. But they make Joe, John,Millie ,Ashley pay all that money to Ukranians.
If You count all the money given to three European nation.1 middle east nation, 2 African Nations. They are making the common builder/messanger/Office worker pay millions to foreigners
It's a shame that, this room is not filled!!! It should be. Every person should be sitting there listing to this. Thanks Rand!!!
There already know the truth. dont need to hear it. Its a matter of them getting kickbacks of different kind.. imagine if thw money was tracked. They wouldnt care to send it so bad
It is certainly a shame. It’s despicable.
I’d love for them to prove their hours.
@@RonnieShacklett Sadly, it's the People that need to see a unified congress. Empty Chairs makes it seem like he's the only one on his level.
Make them all sit there and listen, then tell every american citizen how they vote ..
If he stopped lying it might
Senator Paul is about the only voice for Americans left in our government.
And paid by Putin.
Haha the trolls think Putin is hiding in every closet.
Ted Cruz too
@@johnwest5458 sometimes. He's a bit of a sh!t, haha.
@@itdoesntmatteronebitLOL
It's not even respectful by the other party to even show up for the speech. Lots of empty seats we taxpayers pay for. It just shows how separated the County truly is.
We need term limits. And voters need to wake up and stop voting for personalities and vote for POLICY.
Amen Senator Paul.
Hes so elegant and accurate
No. He's arrogant and myopic.
I could make arguments with him that would make him look so hypocritical but Raskin, and others with opposing views would do a lot better. But you wouldn't listen to them.
@@alpinecenter myopic? he sees well enough not to fall off the stage, or the plane.
This is patently insane.
Finally someone speaking the truth
Dear Americans , why can't you choose Senator Paul or someone like him as POTUS??
He has to run for president… that’s how democracy works 😮
He tried that once, but the rest of the country got wise to the fact that he has no idea what he's talking about.
@@amg5656 They SUPPOSEDLY chose a guy who can't speak for more than 15 seconds straight without entering a fugue state.
Rand Paul is great on many issues, but he has been infected by his Father's insane foreign-policy ideas. Since Presidents have their most power on foreign policy he is disqualified.
Answer Soros/Rothschild/ACLU/ADL/AIPAC, what we want doesn't matter, only what the tribe wants matters.
Meanwhile, working class Americans don't have enough money for groceries, gasoline, clothing, medical care and shelter. Unfortunately, the majority of our "elected" officials in office take better financial care of special groups outside the United States of America. 😮
Excellent discussion with Col McGregor.
if this money to Ukraine is borrowed...where is the money coming from to pay the 1.2 B of student debt? I'm on Social Security and don't like the idea of paying off someone else's debt that I had no part in agreeing to THEIR debt! Why isn't anyone stopping this shit?
If we can give billions of dollars a year to wealthy nations like Israel and all of the NATO countries we can use a couple billion to pay off student loans for Americans.
Bidenomics is extra taxes on the American people and it's our money paying for student loan forgiveness.
Hello, if you watch other utube videos a couple of days ago of Rand Paul he will explain how the government is borrowing money. The only programs that are funded from taxes Americans pay are Social Security, VA pensions, SSI, Medicare. Every other item like Ukraine, Israel (JB did executive order a couple weeks ago was ( $500 million), student debt payoffs, etc. ""is borrowed from China or printed"". This is reason for the large trillions of dollars deficit.
It is disgusting. I am on ssa also. Rand Paul explained everything very well. Hope you listen to his videos. Very smart and caring person. Take care. M.C.
Read Budapest Memorandum Dr. Paul, USA signed up to do this.
read Budapest Memorandum , USA signed up . Russia too. and ukraine signed it as a neutral state. not willing to join any military union.
when ukraine decided to join NATO they CANCELED Budapest Memorandum
@@eliotness4029 what are you reading? Who are they? Who canceled? There is no such thing. Russia, US, UK, China and France are security guarantors of Ukraine in exchange Ukraine surrendering nukes Russia left in Ukraine after Russia recognized Ukrainian independence. There is zero references, or mentions how Ukraine conducts itself while managing own state affairs, including any alliances.
Amen!! no money for Ukraine or anywhere.
Thanks senator this is the very issue we need to address. To who do these senators truly owe allegiance? America first and last!
Actually we sent a crap ton of money to Europe and Russia during and after World War II. We even wrote off the massive debt the Europeans owed us from all the money we gave them to rebuild their countries. In exchange, they've been stalwart allies of the US for the past century.
Can't believe they just ask for money and we give it Crazy
Whats more shocking is that Ukraine believed US and NATO to start proxy war against Russ
USA Should have never asked Ukraine to gave up its nuclear arsenal. Third biggest in the world. Money is the least USA can do. Ukraine paying the biggest price. Its people. We are dying daily.
Thank you for speaking....
Senator... Rand Paul, I agreed with you! 100%... US KEEP PRINTING MONIES AND SENDING OUT TO UKRAINE.
Sorry, Rand, but your strong army hasn't won a war in Afghanistan, or Korea, or Vietnam. Russia did all of the heavy lifting in WW2. They've had a superior army all along. More efficient per unit of currency. And with a history of fighting Nazi's for their own survival, they are as determined now as they were back then to defeat, what they see is the same enemy re-emerging after a long hibernation. Russia is engaged against NATO mercs on daily basis. Tell me, Rand, which way the border is moving. Right or left? I only agree with the 1st half of your speech. The 2nd half is padding and pandering. The speech wants to do the right thing, but partially for the wrong reason. Rand says capitalism won. Rand likes to pretend the current system is something other than socialism. Privatization of gains and socialization of losses. We have no capitalism. And Russia failed because it was overextended and corrupt. When everyone steals, wealth doesn't reach remote regions that are expected to contribute disproportionally. Military eats through all the surplus. Money printers go brrrr, and the country goes under. That's how they failed. Capitalism didn't defeat USSR. That country defeated itself. And right now we're doing the same thing.
Nice speech and all, but too late. And nothing will change. Just sit and watch the prices double again and again, till you're on the street. End of story.
After WW2...who's language does everyone speak, who's money do they use. You conveniently left out the theater in the Pacific while you were on WW2 trip down memory lane.
Winning looks like sweatshops in Asia, and McDonalds in Qatar...that's what winning is. Does anyone use the ruble for their reserve currency?
8 out of 10 German soldiers that died in WW2 were killed by Soviet forces, that 80% and those are the facts. The US role in Europe during WW2 was largely ancillary...!!!
The soviets relied on American industry to survive and win.
Bric's bout to blow us the phuk away
MAGA 2024🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
People listen to this guy this is the only guy talking truth in the government !!!!!
So true.
Excellent
Asking $ from Argentina.
If none see what is wrong with it.
It is just scary..... 😂😂
Asking $ from bankrupt Argentina. he name is a clown
True
We’re broke!
Agree
I want to know how politicians get so rich!? Let’s see those money transactions!
They are not asking where the money for Ukraine goes to.
They certainly don't want people asking where they get their money from.
Think of yourself first then other countries. Good initiative no harm for thinking yourself first
Stop this
Insanity. STOP THIS WAR. We need PEACE .
They are drunk on the grift of kickbacks.
We've never sent so much money to another country and lose it all!
Wow? How can he stand there speak rationally so long without stuttering or blank stares?
Thanks Rand.!!!
We need to all chant: "Not my country, not my problem!"
Bravo Rand Paul. 100% support.
Gotta give the big guy his 10%
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you! Rand Paul
And no more NO DEAL
Totally agree
Thank you Senator!
Thank you Senator!
The pain is that it’s not money, it’s debt that carries interest…with inflation!!! It’s so bad I have to write these things down in a log as I can’t believe this president can do these things.
Wtf, we just want clean water 🤬
Brilliant
The End of collective waste...😯😯😯
Thx Sen. Ran Paul for great service to stop this high cost stolen from Americans. We need more senators to join and protect our interest first!
A million times 👍 hey a million times I really dig you Rand Paul I just think you're great and thank you for speaking up for just a regular person with common sense thank you
Oh come on.. seriously? You don't think the big guy had all the network in place to be sure he gets his percent? It's the largest most expensive money laundring operation in the history of the world.
Glad to see some of us are awake.
Some of us paying attention
I will stop paying taxes if this doesn’t stop soon.
shocking.
This is INSANE!!!!!!
The People are sick of it!
We do senator Paul, We do, and you won't believe the horrors they use that money for.
Thank you Rand
He speaks the TRUTH!!!
We sent 700 billion to the USA investment banks in 2008.
You are such nice guys....
Despicable….
Hush money!! That’s OURS
Take care of your own citizens, goodness
It’s corruption at the highest levels
Tell Em Rand

Thank you Rand Paul
Mega yachts and multi million dollar mansions too
Everyone in government that votes to sends more money to Ukraine needs to start donating their own money, just like the open boarders all the illegal should be getting help from Democrats who wants open boarders. Pelosi and Mitch could donate a big chunk of money, and all the rest of them.
