election night i had a live audience and voters voices. one of the things we were touching on had to do where money goes and there is concern that we aren t trying to do everything. like take care of the american people and then take care of what you can around the world, too. we can t just do one was what people were telling me. let s watch this. president biden has requested an additional $37 billion in emergency aid for ukraine. that s in addition to the nearly $19 billion of security assistance already provided from the united states since russia s brutal invasion back in january. house minority leader kevin mccarthy is warning republicans won t back excessive financial aid without the receipts. you want to know where the money is going. people will be sitting in a recession and not going to write a blank check to ukraine. they just won t do it. it is not a free blank check, end of quote. congressman mast. i did not vote for the $40
billion that went to ukraine before. i will give you a quick true story on this. on the day of that vote i went to the floor of the house of representatives and asked the number of my colleagues about what are we buying for $40 billion? not which bombs and bullets. are we buying a ukrainian victory and russian nuclear demilitarization or they re out of crimea. what are we getting as a national security objective? i asked steny hoyer his question. his answer was well, brian, i just think what we ve been doing so far has been working. so let s just keep doing whatever it is that we ve been doing. that was the answer from the democrat majority leader on spending $40 billion of we the people s money. harris: congressman mast, thank you for bringing us the details behind the scenes and what s going on with money going to ukraine and all the rest of what we talked about.
