The United States’ involvement in the war between Ukraine and Russia is a contentious topic among conservatives. Regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum, however, it’s important to know what’s actually happening, especially when it comes to how American taxpayer dollars are being spent.

Dave Rubin plays the clip of Ohio Senator J.D. Vance and Fox News’ Laura Ingraham discussing exactly where much of our hard-earned money is going.

“We are funding one third of Ukraine's government; that includes teacher salaries, janitor salaries — everybody, not just the military — everybody's salaries are funded by the U.S. taxpayers as the people in our country are deciding between food or medicine right now,” Ingraham said.

“You're exactly right; we've got to focus on our own problems, Laura,” Vance said, adding that “people in Ohio can't afford food; young people can't afford to buy homes [because] we're paying for their government.”

“How about we deal with some of our problems here ... problems related to prices of food and things of that nature?” says Dave in agreement.
