Summary
Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to Rand Paul, U.S. senator for Kentucky, about inflation and the dangers of the GOP-supported Ukraine spending bill. Rand explains why the U.S. government is too deep in its own debt and inflation problems to be able to send $40 billion to Ukraine. He discusses how both Democrats and Republicans have ensured that there will be no trustworthy monitoring of the spending and how government waste is guaranteed. He also talks about how Sweden and Finland joining NATO could backfire in the long run. He also reflects on his grilling of Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas about the dangers of the Disinformation Governance Board.
