Ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and the Biden administration
Wow, they really messed up this time. Folks, before we get started, please make sure you
like, comment, share, and subscribe. It really helps us out and helps our channel continue to
grow. You know how if you lose a $20 bill, it really bothers you? It affects your day, right
You're like, where'd I put that $20 bill? Where'd it go? Well, imagine you're the United States
government and you lost, I don't know, $3 billion and it's somebody else's money. Ours
The taxpayers? Well, if that happened, I guess you just shrug it off because that's what the
government did. You see, Jake Tapper interviewed Jake Sullivan today, Biden's national security
advisor, and Sullivan explained when he got grilled by Tapper that, yeah, the government
misplaced or misallocated $3 billion, but it's not that big of a deal. Oh, and it gets even better
Wait till you hear what they're going to do with it. Let's take a look. You were talking about aid to Ukraine a minute ago. There was this very bizarre
admission from the Pentagon this week of an accounting error that suggested that the U.S
has at least $3 billion that it didn't know it had that it can use for Ukraine aid. That's a
hell of an accounting error. And it provides a lot of fodder to critics of U.S. aid to Ukraine
and critics who say there's not enough oversight going on. Are you concerned about this accounting
error? Well, one thing I just want to make clear, that is not money that went out the door and
disappeared. That is not a waste of that $3 billion. It is simply a tally of how much military
equipment we have given them. And the way that the Pentagon was counting it was what's the
replacement cost for the equipment we provide rather than just the actual cost of that equipment
Once you make that adjustment, it turns out we have an additional $3 billion that we can spend
to provide even more weapons to Ukraine. And at the end of the day, not one penny of U.S. dollars
will have gone missing or had been misallocated. It will all be provided in the form of equipment
to Ukraine on the battlefield. But of course, it would be better to get it right in terms of
the accounting upfront. In the end, though, the Pentagon discovered the error. The Pentagon
corrected the error and Ukraine will get what it needs. And the American taxpayer will be able to
be confident that this money is being spent effectively and appropriately. Hey, great news
We found $3 billion more dollars that we thought we spent, but we didn't really spend. What's the
best thing we can do with it? Well, let's send it back to Ukraine. I mean, that's where we thought
it was, right? So let's just send it there. Yeah, we're approaching the debt ceiling. Yeah
things are tight for Americans. Sure, there's homeless people on the streets of San Francisco
children starving in America. How many meals can we provide? How many shelters can we provide for
$3 billion? Yeah, let's send bombs to Ukraine. That's what's really important here
You know, it's maddening. It's maddening what they do with the taxpayer's money. And
to see them continue to do it and to see them really not get grilled, why didn't Jake Tapper
say, hey, well, since you got the extra $3 billion, why not allocate it for something else
Nope. I'm going to send it to Ukraine. More money for Ukraine. Hey, our southern border's
wide open, but you know what? Ukraine's border is what matters. That's what matters here. Let's
send it there. The incompetence of losing it to begin with, and then the audacity to say
well, we found it. We're going to send it overseas. It's just insanity. It's insanity on steroids
That is this administration in a nutshell. That whole scenario is this administration in a
nutshell. Folks, I want to thank you for watching here today. This is Carmine Sabia for Explain
America. We love you guys. God bless you. Take care, everybody
