Today, the loopcast follows the money. President Biden is whipping up a $105 billion aid package,

$61 billion for Ukraine and $14 billion for Israel. But at least he put $13 billion towards the

southern border, right? Well, we read the fine print and we were shocked by what we found. We go deeper

down the paper trail to find that even Catholics are involved

in the hole at our southern border. A Catholic restaurant owner in Ohio had staff walkout

after posting a sign opposing a radical abortion amendment. We cover his bold stand and the reality

of politics dominating commerce over the past few decades. Josh can't stand Julia Roberts.

Erica might join an Icelandic female strike,

and I'm just trying to keep it all together.

All this and more on this week's edition of The Loopcast.

Thank you. Welcome back to the loopcast. Today I'm joined by my two co-host, Erica and Josh, and we, as always, have a full show for you today. First, we're going to start with a phrase you'll hear often this episode, follow the money. Now, the United States government,

specifically President Biden, has said he's sending money to a border. We are here to talk about which

borders, specifically, how the money breaks down, and you might be a little bit surprised when

we get to the end of the money trail. So Erica, we have $105 billion requested for multiple

different initiatives. Could you break down how much of that 105 is going to each initiative

and, you know, the end point, what's a little surprising about that?

Yeah, so we have $105 billion ask.

This is a supplemental budget request from President Biden.

And it's obviously following on the Hamas-Israeli war that's going on. $61.4 billion to Ukraine to continue the war effort there. Another 14.3 billion to Israel.

And we have only 7.4 billion going to the poor Indo-Pacific. So I guess China's not really a concern here.

And 10 billion in humanitarian efforts that's going to be split between Ukraine, Israel, Gaza, and other places.

The list goes on and on. If you've been keeping track, though, we still have about $50 billion to go.
