christopher hope there indeed.—election results. it's 7:11 already. the us president joe biden addressed americans last night where he tried to convince them to fund $100 billion in new spending to buy weapons and send humanitarian aid to israel and ukraine. let's have a watch and listen to what he said . listen to what he said. >> i know these conflicts can seem far away and it's natural to ask, why does this matter to america ? so let me share with america? so let me share with you why making sure israel and ukraine succeed is vital for america's national security . america's national security. dodi american values are what make us a partner that other nafions make us a partner that other nations want to work with to put all that at risk. if we walk away from ukraine, if we turn our backs on israel, it's just not worth it. that's why tomorrow i'm going to send to congress an urgent budget request to fund america's national security needs to support our critical partners , support our critical partners, including i
