million dollars for translators for Ukrainian refugees, who I guess will be coming here. That seems like an awful lot of money for that. Would we even have known about that if I didn't put it in the monologue? You know, it just seems like, it just seems like the first mission creep always happens. The request from the Biden administration was 33 billion. And Republicans said, no, it's not enough. We need three and a half billion more for the military. And the Democrats said, well, no, you've got to give an equal amount for humanitarian aid. You got to throw three and a half billion more in. So it goes to 40. That's literally, that's seven billion dollars. That's not nothing. No. That's stupid. So it should be 33. It shouldn't be 40. That's Congress acting irresponsibly. Why shouldn't it be 33? How do I know? It used to be a liberal thing to be suspicious of defense contractors. I mean, I can tell you what 33 is. They always had their snouts in the trough and they just want more money (34/43)
