Summary

According to Mitch McConnell, Ukraine is the priority of Republicans. Not gas prices, not inflation, not the spikes in violent crime that are destroying our formerly great cities, not even the 20,000 or so illegals per day crossing the southern border? Not the fentanyl scourge that is crushing everyone equally, right? Whether you re young, old, rich, poor, all of that is not our right? No, the Ukraine is. That s weird. And it s news to me, folks. I had no idea that that was Republicans number one priority. I go all over the country, and I don t know that a single one of them has actually told me that s our number 1 priority. But none of this should surprise us, because that disconnect between a DC swamp creature who s just trying to get the military industrial complex rich, pay back his lobbyist friends, and send more missiles to start a nuclear war with Russia? That s clearly not a priority because it s Ukraine. And you all saw it this week with the Zelensky photo op. Remember, folks, DC isn t your friend. You don t want someone beholden to DC. You want to be your friend you don't want someone beholden to the billionaire donor class. You re not your friend, you re your enemy. You're not your enemy, you're not the enemy. and you don t wanna be your enemy? You re the enemy of your enemy or the enemy you want to get rich, you want someone you re gonna get rich? or you re not a friend you re you re a friend to your enemy ? that s not the billionaire class what could go wrong? . That s what gets you there? You re a problem you need to be not a problem the problem you re trying to solve? you re last? , you re just not a problem? ? or a problem you can be solved by in this episode of The Weekly Standard of the Weekly Standard, hosted by John Rocha? of course you re going to get a . . of your podcast , right of what s going to be a better place to get your money, right or a better to get more money if you want a better life is what you need


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Well, guys, huge news for Republicans.
00:00:03.000 Huge, huge, one would say, with a capital Y. According to Mitch McConnell, Ukraine is the number one priority of Republicans.
00:00:16.000 Not gas prices, not like 7%, probably more, inflation prices.
00:00:23.000 Not the spikes in violent crime that are destroying our formerly great cities.
00:00:31.000 Not even the 20,000 or so illegals per day crossing the southern border.
00:00:38.000 Definitely not the fentanyl scourge that is crushing...
00:00:44.000 Everyone equally, right?
00:00:46.000 Whether young, old, rich, poor, none of that.
00:00:50.000 You know, the southern border, all the stuff, the human trafficking, that's not our number one priority.
00:00:56.000 But the Ukraine is.
00:00:58.000 That's weird. That's weird.
00:01:01.000 And it's news to me, folks.
00:01:04.000 I had no idea that that was Republicans' number one priority.
00:01:08.000 I mean, I'm out there a lot.
00:01:10.000 I go all over the country.
00:01:12.000 I speak to Republican groups everywhere.
00:01:14.000 And I don't know that a single one of them has actually told me That's our number one priority.
00:01:23.000 In fact, many of them can't believe we're blowing $130 billion, just so we're clear.
00:01:30.000 $130 billion, approximately, with the new $45 billion that they've just given, is literally more money in one year.
00:01:40.000 Then the combined amount of military aid to Afghanistan from 1946 to 2019.
00:01:49.000 Just for a little perspective, okay?
00:01:51.000 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.
00:02:04.000 No, no, no. The number one priority is Ukraine.
00:02:08.000 And that's weird. Again, I've traveled the world.
00:02:11.000 I have yet to meet a single Republican whose number one priority that is.
00:02:15.000 I have not met one person.
00:02:17.000 It's probably not top five for most Republicans around the country.
00:02:22.000 But none of this should surprise us.
00:02:23.000 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.
00:02:37.000 I mean, what could go wrong, folks?
00:02:38.000 Of course that's their number one priority.
00:02:41.000 You know what isn't their number one priority?
00:02:43.000 You, the American public, your children, your livelihoods, your and their future.
00:02:51.000 That's clearly not a priority, because it's Ukraine.
00:02:55.000 And you all saw it this week with the Zelensky photo op, okay?
00:02:59.000 Remember that, folks.
00:03:00.000 DC isn't your friend.
00:03:02.000 You don't want someone beholden to DC. You don't want someone beholden to the billionaire donor class.
00:03:10.000 These kind of nonsense, that kind of ridiculousness, that's the logic it gets you.
00:03:17.000 You're last.
