I can't hear that phrase at all. Here's my transcription:

They don't need to rely on the companies that we use. They do their own thing. And they have other allies that ...

Here is the exact reference to the automatic subtitles:
9:26
what what has happened to EU theyve all

9:28
Saturn guys we don't need to spend all

The underlined are not clear for me (surely, most of the words are not correct transcription).

1. Your question was "Does he say ...". It made no reference to subtitles. I listened with my ears and transcribed what I heard.

2. Computer-generated subtitles are often incorrect.

Sorry. It was probably an inaccuracy on my part. Could you please again look into my question? I'm struggling to understand the sense of the phrase beginning from they all.... until guys. That phrase is at the interval between 9:26-9:28 if one look at the automatic subtitles.

I don't understand what subtitles have to do with this. The man is speaking standard English with only the tiniest barely detectable trace of non-native accent. Therefore subtitles are quite superfluous.

What does he say between ....what has happened to EU and guy we don't need... at approximately 9:26-9:28? I mentioned automatic subtitles, which pop up at the right of youtube window, just for the ease of reference. There is a button below on youtube on the left below which enable subtitles pop up on the right.1707228120055.png

It sounds like gobbledegook to me. Don't worry about it.

I mean what exactly the host says. Do you mean that his words are a sort of gobbledegook which can hardly be identified and they have no sense? For the avoidance of double, I do not care about subtitles, they are just the point of time reference.

Starting at 09:23, I hear:

"EU, since they started, what they're do with the NATO, what ... what has happened to EU? They've all sat there and said "Guys, we don't need to spend all this money into our military ..."

So if the bit you've circled in yellow in post #7 is the bit you're struggling with (and where the subtitles say "Saturn"), it's "sat there".

Now you've said what the words are, I can hear them clearly. (y)
