0:00.0 | All right, Alexander, let's talk about what is going on in the United States, in the House of Representatives. |
0:08.1 | And all of it is centered. Not all of it. A lot of it is centered around Ukraine, money for Ukraine. |
0:17.9 | Not all of it, but a lot of it is about Ukraine. But, you know, the general issue here is that the U.S. |
0:25.0 | has a lot of problems that it needs to deal with. And it's being sucked into this never-ending |
0:31.1 | black hole of money that is Ukraine, that no one really knows where this is going, where this money is |
0:40.4 | going and it's going to a conflict that's being lost. So you had the shakeup in the house. |

1:50.5 | So, you know, bear in mind this is a substantial block of people in the Republican Party in the House. |
1:57.0 | And of course, there's also now growing opposition amongst Republicans in the Senate as well, people like J.D. Vance, for example. |
2:05.6 | They're starting increasingly to speak out about this. |
2:08.6 | So they said we don't want this to become a political issue in the election. |
