Israel doesn't care about statements.

And as we were just talking about in the case of Europe and, you know, the rules-based order, nobody's going to step in and stop Israel from doing what it is doing right now.

You're not in charge of two or three things at a time.

You actually do have to deal with all the world's crises.

There's nothing like a U.S.

senator going overseas to take a jab at America's own military.

There's nothing that sounds more America first than going to Israel and say, hey, these guys really are doing such a great job with their military equipment.

I wish we could learn from them.

Let's try to partner up with them.

I mean, it's just like...

I don't—the optics of it, right?

I mean, it used to be a time that when you're a senator, a Republican senator from South Carolina or from elsewhere, that you would talk about the strength of the American military and how America's military is a force for good or what have you, not go to Israel and say, we got to learn from them.

These guys are such amazing warriors, not like ours back home in the U.S.,

So I think I'll start with where I think the ceasefire is, the so-called ceasefire, because I totally agree with you.

I don't think it's a ceasefire.

Israel has been acting with impunity, has violated it every step of the way, has not even implemented it, let alone violated it.

When it comes to the issue of Gaza...

You don't have to take my word for it.

You just have to listen to Israeli security and intelligence officials who are very clear that there is no way to destroy the idea of Hamas inside of Gaza.

Israeli security officials are openly talking about how they've destroyed the entire upper echelon.
