very radio host and political commentator, steve gill, says key f was sorry, sorry, right, there's steve gill says that they've been quick to dismiss legitimate questions raised by the us. congressman, i think they'll ignore it. hope it goes away, but i think that is congresswoman spartan speaks up. you're going to see others starting to speak up and ask the question of where is the money doing? why is it inappropriate to ask for accountability and transparency? and you know, we've seen some stories recently claiming that some high officials and ukraine have been buying swiss chalets, spending huge millions of dollars on their personal properties and switzerland, another location. if we can work to track dollars of russian overdraw arts and russian business people and what assets they have in other countries. why isn't it appropriate to ask what ukrainian officials are doing? what against so much money is flowing in the ukraine? i think it's legitimate ask where it's going. when it flows out, president trump was put under fire for a phone call with president zalinski asking him to invest

or from all of this as cos, live now to radio host and political commentator, steve gill, welcome to the program, steve. now the middle east is exactly known for its political stability. how successful do you think joe biden will be in easing tensions in the region? well, he's already been more successful than many thought he didn't follow the lead of jill by then compare these re lease to falafel or how much so at least i had of the game there. but you know, he was, he's trying to thread the needle of being able to meet with the israelis and then meet with the saudis and not appear to be showing a preference for one or the other. and he's been brief that you know, he's not supposed to hug, he's not supposed to show too much familiarity with the israelis and then not show the same level of distancing or, or familiarity with the saudis. and you know, he comes off the play and he's been pumping, he's getting into the personal spaces of the israelis, which is completely throwing, you know, that sort of cultural perception and visibility out the window. and then you throw in the gap of ju

and also that we have ability to be kind of talk. radio hosts and political commentator, steve gill, says, keith has been quick to dismiss legitimate questions about age spending as so called propaganda. when there is smoke, there is fire and if they are questioning accountability for how the money that the us taxpayers are sending, do you crate if they're questioning, being asked, how's the money being spent? that tells me that money is not being spent very wisely or well. and it's interesting that congresswoman starts was, was beloved by the premium government. and she was talking heavily about the need for the us to intervene to send money to send funds for both foreign aid in for, for military 8. and now suddenly when she's saying by the way, we'd like to check the receipts, see how you're spending the money then somehow she's promoting russian propaganda. it's amazing how quick they've turned daughter for simply asking some jeremy questions. we're seeing billions of dollars and continue demands more billions of dollars to be said by us taxpayers to ukraine. i think you're seeing

president of the united states, is going to yield anything. radio host and political commentators, steve gill told us he's not optimistic the true will be a success as tensions in the region remain high. tensions are high in the region. they remain high in the region, and i don't think that we're looking for any real success coming from this trip in terms of either new trainees, new movement towards peace in the, in the middle east, both between israel, the palestinians, and saudi arabia, or even in the broader region with iran still, you know, threatening, more threatening military action, threatening to disrupt things. so i would be very surprised if there's anything really positive or substantial that comes from the president's visit. you know, i think the a gap by biden, in confusing honor and horror when referencing the holocaust, when they pretty much everybody in the world recognize it was a horrific loss of 6000000 lives. is by buying standards, a relatively minor gap. but when you're trying to embark on a foreign visit and you want to put your best foot forward tripping as you get of
