the empty seats says everything you need to know about how much our politicians actually care
that's the weird part. when i see clips like this from british or canadian parliament, the lawmaker is at least arguing in front of a FULL gallery of his peers. They show up and argue to each other's faces over policy. I honestly don't understand why our lawmakers here in America just don't show up for discussions on bills like this
@@purelizardmilk6598 Because they're all splitting the money so they don't care to hear the filibuster.
@@purelizardmilk6598because the people in their district will put them back in office no matter what because they don’t pay attention to local politics so they just vote for whoever is already in there. The apathy of the people allowed this shit to happen.
Yeah cowards. The truth is hard to hear sometimes indeed.
@@FreefallSCOr hear me out for a second, they actually rig elections. Maybe it isn't apathy when I know so many who are sick of their politicians? Maybe they vote get out but the ones counting just fake democrat ballots. Maybe this has happened for awhile, Maybe in 2020..
It's called money laundering.
The last round of laundering before collapse of Ukraine
💯 lots of it going on, I bet
Blackrock and vanguard own half of Ukraine ag land following the money
Yep, and Joe desperately needed another attempt to make a coherent speech
Yes, and the politicians will get a cut of that money.
This speech needs to be aired on every U.S. network....wake up people!!!!!!
Yes....
Yes
1:00 he somehow forgot about the 3.8 billion to Israel every year plus the additional 14.5 billion this year on top 😊
We need more Rand Paul’s in the Senate. Thank you.
Hope they get rid of Tom Cotton, Ted Cruz and other corrupt senates.
He should be up higher with more power HELL PRESIDENT !!!
We need people like him all over the world, especially the west.
@@terryloi6975 Tom Cotton is amazing
@@joeaiden4894 lol
I can tell you none of my sons will serve this nation any longer. This place is corrupt to the core.
We all will be fighting UN soldiers shortly as the UN army guy is coming to talk to Biden about border and doesn’t want other states thinking they can stand up to the president and will think about having UN getting involved. They are already here! It’s going to happen. Why they need border open. Chaos before elections. So there won’t be another election. That what the y want
They already have an enlistment discrepancy, gee I wonder why…
Republicans should start governing instead of making excuses for trump and blaming all on Dems. Putin does not care about Compassion Ron. How are you going to have a National Election during a war, Russia loves this.
My enlisted relatives including my uncles in WWII and the Korean War always told me that they served the American Constitution, not politics, but for the protection of one of the world’s most scared documents. That is why we serve.
If your sons decide to serve they will be protecting future generations.
you are so damn right
It’s not about Ukraine first, but putting their sponsors and pockets first.
One could argue that it's not America first either
Zelensky fake democracy regime first.
Zelensky still didnt bought villa in miami)
Considering any $$$ being approved cycles back to defense contractors, this statement is correct. If it ever even makes it to Ukraine at all. And here is the only one to actually say the $$$ should be accounted for. Not withheld. Simply accounted for. And he's summarily ignored.
It's not about putting anything first. That's the propaganda of a tiny evil Russian dictator. Since when does the American government only have to focus on one problem at a time. I support our NATO and European allies. If that means I have to vote for slow Joe then that's the way it will be. Putin needs to face charges for his war crimes
We can always count on Sen Rand Paul, to stand up for we the people ( not just the people of KY but all Americans ) !
Mr Rand Paul Thank you for speaking out for the Majority American CITIZENS ❤❤❤👏💯👏💯👏💯👏💯👌💐🙏🏼💐🙏🏼💐🙏🏼
1:00 he somehow forgot about the USA giving 3.8 billion to Israel every year plus the additional 14.5 billion this year on top 😊
Rand Paul gets Russian money.
This bill is exactly why I am pissed and really don't want to pay my taxes anymore.
Your tax money doesn't go to Ukraine. Old equipment goes there.
@@JDivinorumVideoPresuming it didn’t materialize from thin air, how was the “old equipment “ paid for? Truly curious, thanks.
@@thomburleson4884 Through the Federal Reserve printing money. Your tax dollars go into a black hole, not anything you think it goes to. Either way, you look at it, the government will spend money no matter what party is in charge, no matter if you pay taxes or not. If you don't believe me read the book The Deficit Myth by Stephanie Kelton.
@@JDivinorumVideoyes our tax money goes to Ukraine.😂
@JD. I don’t know about old equipment but there’s billions that go there and then a percentage comes back in Biden’s pocket. 😠
Tell them Paul. We're tired of their crap
this paul is ignorant being
@@deaddycruel
I would say You're the one who's ignorant
@@deaddycruel Wanting war is ignorant and funding someone else's war is just being a slave for the elite class
@deaddycruel let me guess... your the type of guy that can sit on a popsicle and tell what flavor it is. You probly have your hair fucking dyed blue too don't ya??
Rand Paul is full of it. There is no reason we can't do more than one thing. How ridiculous would that be if government could only work on a single issue at a time? The only reason they were not able to pass a border bill is because Trump told Republicans not to because he needs the border issue to campaign on.
Thank you, Rand, for speaking the truth. If we had 300 more like you, things would actually change.
Notice all the empty seats collecting a paycheck?
I never see anything but empty seats in these videos
Taxpayers work and pay for all the Senate and Congress to not do the job we pay them to do. There a joke.
@@cl9826 It's the same in the UK.
Yes i noticed all the seats empty 😂😂..sad as hell 😢😢😢
What job can we all have where we don't show up & still get a pay check & not get fired???
GOD BLESS YOU for standing up for AMERICAN
They're standing up for trump and putin not the United States !!!
How does a new Democrat Congresswoman like AOC become fabulously wealthy with a net worth of more than $18 million dollars in such a short amount of time. ??
The empty desks in the background says alot about our leadership
95% leaders DON'T truly care.......That's why it's empty as long as their pockets are stuffed.....They DON'T care about our nation !!
Well articulated argument. Kind of f***ed up that we have to convince people profiting from death is bad. Most likely will fall on deaf ears.
Rand Paul: I can do this all day. I remember when he was giving 13hr filibusters. Shout out to him and his father for having integrity.
He is extremely talented and just. Love how he questioned Dr. Fauci.
Hawley from Missouri is another senator with his head on straight; and makes no bones about it.
@@laurandre492 Paul is an example of why I'm not for term limits. USA needs this man. Many others need to be booted out of office & down the road.
I also remember everyone calling Ron an idiot for calling out this same b.s. back in the day. It's only now that they want to agree with what he was saying. Smh!
Rand gets it.
Ron Paul is amazing, and raised an excellent son. Now look at Joe Biden's sorry excuse of a son, Hunter in comparison. Could not have a starker contrast!
If We The People were voting on this, no money would leave, but take care of our own people n country
If we the people voted… 😅 It would be mob rule… The founders at least got that part right. But alas… an imperfect being CANNOT make a perfect system.
Here is the best-kept secret about U.S. military aid to Ukraine: Most of the money is being spent here in the United States. That’s right: Funds that lawmakers approve to arm Ukraine are not going directly to Ukraine but are being used stateside to build new weapons or to replace weapons sent to Kyiv from U.S. stockpiles. Of the $68 billion in military and related assistance Congress has approved since Russia invaded Ukraine, almost 90 percent is going to Americans, one analysis found.
At a time when both major parties are competing to win working-class votes and strengthen the U.S. manufacturing base, our military aid to Ukraine does exactly that - it is providing a major cash infusion into factories across the country that directly benefits American workers. It is also creating jobs and opportunities for local suppliers, shops, restaurants and other businesses that support the factories rolling out weapons.
Many other weapons systems are being built for Ukraine in factories around our country. Nor does this list count the suppliers that provide these contractors with parts, such as plastic and computer chips, or produce smaller items for Ukraine, such as cold-weather and night-vision gear, medical supplies, spare parts and millions of rounds of small-arms ammunition.
from The Washington post:
@@40pluzmusic59Your so called founding fathers was and is the mob
We the people don't have a country anymore....Obiden sold us to China...Chinese armies are coming to invade us...
@@40pluzmusic59 if all the people voted it doesn't necessarily mean mob rule. There could be rules like 60 or 70% of the vote is needed and then there's always a presidential veto to end a majority. Also they can't lobby 300 million people lolz
Dr Paul is a very strong and honest senator.
Thank God for having people like you protecting the American people! No more free money to strangers! Enough!
Only money to our allies in need. No funding for enemies that hates, and skims off the United States People. Politicians spend US Citizens money like it’s their own money tree.
Absolutely disgusting.
The SWAMP runs very deep! Thank you Rand for standing for and representing the majority of the United States people!
Yes, and the swamp is both parties. The more they can distract you and make you fight about something, the more they can pass things that give big companies and their stocks more profit. It's like stealing candy from a baby. Look into the cabinets of both party president's and what companies they come from. They share people that aren't labeled red or blue, but labels as prestigious employees of asset companies.
You'll know who to blame when you get dragged into WW3 because Putin won't stop, nor China, Iran and North Korea.
Trump thought the swamp was was a mile wide and 10 feet deep. 4 years later he knows its a hundred miles wide and a thousand feet deep. And those swamp creatures sure do stick together to protect their territory. Ain't nothing going to change anytime soon.
I understand that ordinary people might not get it, but I find it hard to believe that Republican Senators don't understand why Putin is one of the biggest, if not the single biggest, threat to national security.
Anyone who has seen the movie Pearl Harbor knows whether US cannot ignore imperialist dictators
Who the hell is "ordinary"? That is part of the problem.
Yes! Go Rand Paul - keep telling the truth!
But to what end? The truth doesn't change the minds of the corrupt-in-power. They know what the truth is, and they know what would work for us, and that's precisely why they aren't doing it. They don't want us to have freedoms, or economic independence anymore. They want us malnourished, anxious, and dependent.
It seems that Many if not Most of our Congressional Representatives are more concerned with a Monetary fix (THEIRS), rather than a Humanitarian one. Billions for Ukraine defense, NOT a Penny for the America's.
wrong
Please Keep Up The Great Work Senator/Doctor Ran Paul!!!
It's amazing that the country is divided between those who are for the USA and those against.
Those against are all treasonous democraps.
Civil war approaching again.
Those against need to piss off
and who is doing the dividing Ivan?
Pretty much obama started all this and hes still running the show behind biden ,and then kamala
Imagine paying your neighbors’ bills before you pay your own. Insanity!!!!
Exactly!
1:00 how do you feel about the USA giving 3.8 billion to Israel every year plus the additional 14.5 billion this year on top?
FFS. Kentucky has this gentlemen and we in SC have Lindsey Graham. It's a shame more people do not recognize the how important Rand Paul is. Everything that Vivek has been preaching, this guy has been doing it for years.
D White here, this is not Anton:
And his father before him. Still a Few Men of Courage, Integrity and Intelligence left in America; Very Few, Especially the Integrity Part. In the political realm, I mean.
As much as I love Paul, Kentucky also has McConnell.
I genuinely am at a loss how the hell the state can elect such polar opposites.
Yes Kentucky has RandPaul but we also hav3 Mitch McConnell yuck
Rand Paul is full of it. No reason we can't fix the border AND aid Ukraine and Israel.
The MAGA Lunatics are out today.
There should be no riders on any bills! Everything should be considered separately, period.
💯
Sounds like a good way to ensure the dominant party never has to compromise on anything, ever.
Thank you Sen Paul as a homeless disabled USMC Somalia vet! Semper Fi!!!
Vote them USELESS Politicians Out in 2024...❌👎❌ That don't Care about American people
Not possible with rigged elections. No way any sane person still votes for McConnell, graham, Schumer, Romney.
Awesome use of emoji
Voting does NOT work
It's apparent.
Representatives are installed
You think voting is real…. Did you know they removed “gullible” from the English language because it’s offensive to dumb people?
Amen
How could America put any other country first? No other country does that.
It's called reparations and restitution for all the prosperity we aquired unjustly, according to big o, since 2008.
UK has done this, placed unidentified illegal migrants ahead of our own people wasting 8.3 million pound of taxpayers money a day 11.3 billion pound to Ukraine and lied to, constantly lied to, and yet the people have given up, our police are social workers dressed up and useless
I think he's being sarcastic. Big O. really believes this. He's an America last globalist.@@southerncatlady6680

No to foreign aid AMERICA FIRST. Fund America first
That's what they said in 1939
in 1941 many amurrikkkans felt the same way, but the big, dangerous world is not going away. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@linusa2996It’s not like 1939 at all. It’s not even close to a World War.
@@cowboydan507 Russia/USSR invaded Poland in 1939 as part of the Pact with Hitler and to "protect" the Belorussians and Ukrainians living in Poland.
New times same BS, same reactions from the American Isolationists.
@@linusa2996 What about it? In 1939 The British Empire and French Empire were invading, occupying, and ruling over 40% of the entire earth, why was it not the end of the world when they weren’t stopped? Do you think war only matters when it happens to white europeans? To act like the reason The British Empire and French Empire (who were committing crimes against humanity all over the globe in 1939) declared war on Germany was because they were some kinda anti imperialist anti expansionist saviors is straight up revisionist history. They simply didn’t want another power challenging their hegemony that they gained after WW1. You reference WW2 as if it’s proof that sending weapons will prevent WW3 but the whole reason Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and Germany declared war on America to begin with is because FDR wouldn’t stop sending weapons to their enemies and collapsing them w/sanctions. So if anything WW2 actually shows us the complete opposite, sending weapons to japan’s enemies is what caused them to attack us, so it’s actually the complete opposite
True and pure logic.
Wow, it's shocking how on-point and consistently correct Rand Paul is.
Each Democrat Senator is MORE THAN WELCOME to start a donation drive and pay for it all themselves.
No they use our money to gain benefits for them
Will they pay for Israel too

Right ❤❤❤
Great speech ! Congratulations
Rand Paul is 100% right ! And many including myself are asking the same question : where is the money going ?
Majority of the money went to the pockets of US defense contractors and the senators who approved previous bills. Just a little over $22bil went to Ukraine in form of cash and the majority of that was stolen in Ukraine. So now Ukraine cant pay its military and government workers and wants them $60bil in cash instead of weapons. Thats why there is hesitation in both parties. And Im not saying Paul is a bad guy but he is not painting the full picture here... Its politics after all
@@GwynBleys agreed. Politicians of all stripes never give you the full story.
Ironically - 90% of it stays here, providing jobs in Texas, Arizona, Alabama. The weapons are produced here, then exported.
It pays Ukraine Government workers pensions. Imagine that, most US workers don't even get pensions but we have to pay for Europes. Nuts, just friggin nuts
@@GwynBleys Eisenhower spoke to America at length about the Military Industrial Complex. Personally, I see this as part of the modern Deep State. And the Deep State was pissed at Trump for creating peace and NOT starting any new wars. That's not good for business - for the Deep State.
This is the first time I've heard someone in Washington speak for us under paid folks and SS recipients
Rand has been doing it for years.
he has been doing this for years...
Tbh American politicians seems to not care about the working and middle class. They can only spend money on military or put it in their own pockets
Have you never listened to Bernie Sanders?
true , but yet nothing will be done about it, They will still send money to secure Ukraine Boarders
It’s not necessarily we don’t want to help any of these people it’s the fact we can’t afford it. It’s the fact we have neighbors fellow Americans that need what we can spare. It’s so sad to see the elites care nothing for We the People
Thanks Ruan..❤
I am on SS and my electric bill was $431.85 how in hell do they expect seniors to keep warm this winter. I live in a old mobile home and when I see them send billions overseas, let in all the illegalls from around the world give them free health care and I still have to pay out of pocket. I M 75 Years old an know body gave me a dam thing. I can't hardly make ends meet an is heartbreaking. I worked all my life yea I have medicare but had to get a supplemental insurance to pay what medicare want cover. Obama care sucks, and Biden economics sucks also. I will never vote Democrat again they are destroying this country.
Quit voting for them!
Meanwhile they giving illegals free rent for 2 years free medical insurance, cell phones and a Check!! It's sad af!!!
The money going overseas makes up less than 0.7% of the US budget and 50-60% of that is spent in the USA.
@linusa2996 Not true. Just in 2001 there's over 2.3 trillion missing from DOD. Factor in what we pay to secure Israel, Korea, and the 35,000 troops in Germany. On top of that you have to factor in our trade deficits and then factor in servicing the national debt which is the biggest portion.
First, thank you for your service. Second, I am DEEPLY sorry that our country has let you down in your time of need. Vote for Trump as he is the only hope we have to stop these people.
Love this guy. At least he has the balls to tell it like it is. This country’s people are sick of helping everyone else while our own people are suffering. This administration will go down as the worst one in our history books. If we even still have history books by the time they are finished. It’s a disgrace and a slap to the face of taxpayers who can’t pay their rent or afford to feed their families decently.
And yet, it's the taxpayer's fault that we are here. We sat by for decades while our freedoms and powers as The People were fretted away. We lowered our heads when corruption revealed itself thinking it would avoid our little nook of life and now it's everywhere. We don't have control of our Congress, our courts, our agencies, our money, or even our nutrition. We don't even get clean elections anymore.
This isn't happening because politicians are bad at their jobs. This is happening because they want us anxious, malnourished, controlled, and dependent.
Why are our people suffering? It has nothing to do with Ukraine and everything to do with the politicians in DC.
You have Democrat propaganda and Republican propaganda and the Republicans are using Ukraine as their propaganda because that's all they have.
MAGA
He has no balls look at him.
With all the Israeli-Nationalists in our Congress and Senate, the Senator seems to be reluctant to speak on our spending issue with Israel much.
The shadow administration is desperate!
Very clear❤
Outrageous. Rand Paul , thank you for all you do for America. Keep speaking up. We need you now more than ever.

@@coldstreamcybernaut2845And why is it your concern?
If they really cared about Ukraine they wouldn't have sent Boris Johnson to stop peace breaking out a week and a half into the conflict under the deal being negotiated under the auspices of President Erdogan of Turkey, and ex-prime minister of Israel, Naftali Bennett. Now they've lost a quarter of the territory and if they drag it out will only lose more.

I am a Brit but I love Rand Paul, I wish we had a politician like him in the UK. He should be vice President.
Trump president 2024-Rand Paul 2028
Trump chose Jerome Powell as his Fed chair he’s a swamp creature
@@southerncatlady6680not to mention he was dealing with conspiring against him, fabricated hoaxes, spying, investigation after investigation and bs impeachment and that was just the first half and all while objectively putting up better numbers in almost every metric compared to biden until covid came.
I'm French and completely agree with you. Our politicians in France worth nothing !!!
This is what our country needs....plain speak and common sense.
"War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. " major general Smedley D. Butler
Rand Paul is so CORRECT 100% why isn’t more speaking out
Because the big money they get to stay in DC tells them not to speak out. Republicans and Democrats are paid off and we the people are duped.
Maybe because their donors won't allow it?
Thank you Sen. Rand Paul for standing up for our country!
👏
What would we ever do without people like Mr.Paul.
All American must be obliged to hear this speech
Yes. So we can hear how one American Senator is willing to see the Ukrainian people murdered, slaughtered and raped. And if Putin wins in Ukraine and marches to Poland or to the Baltic states then American troops WILL be involved. Ukrainians are also fighting for US security. Putin is cheering on this Senator.
Yes, such idiocy and disingenuousness truly should be an example to avoid.
For one thing, the biggest chunk of what's been sent to Ukraine is WEAPONS. Real physical can-blow-you-up-or-put-holes-in-you weapons. Is Sen. Paul too stupid to know this, or is he lying?
2nd, the US Southern Border CANNOT be fixed by this Congress. The problems are a matter of Biden Admin. policy to not follow / enforce our laws. The only recourse is impeachment AND CONVICTION, which we don't have the votes for, and even if we did, then what? Enjoy Kamala Harris as Prez?
A small American with a big heart dedicated for heard working but forgotten people. I envy you Americans for having blessed with such a great and gifted politcian who cares for you
This is the TRUTH.
Thank you Senor Paul, a statesman, not a politician.
It's all just talk though, isn't it?
@@istvanglock7445it's just you bud.
A double talking con man. Trying to argue that we must choose between helping Ukraine and helping America.
This guy is a pro PUTIN con man. Ukraine is fighting for survival. Ending the war by handing victory to Putin. The Military industrial complex supports Republicans. Rand Paul is a LIAR. His party voted against the BORDER BILL he's going on about. Trump first, America last.
Yet Rand Paul is the one who stalled the senate the first yrs of Trumps presidency at every turn...
Eisenhower warned us about the Military industrial complex
And how right he was too.
and the pharnacutical industrial complex
