That means that this country, our children are going to be raised in this country. We put this country ahead of other countries. And so whether it's a Ukrainian flag or whether it's an Israeli flag, I'm against anybody who's going to sit here and try and co-opt a movement and say, but actually I'm going to be a dual citizen or I'm going to be in favor of some other country over America.

Now โ To the point that Ben is making here, and I think that's part of the drop-off, right?
Part of the drop-off is like the America First movement, there's been a lot of people that have tried to glom onto that, right? When it's convenient or when it's the popular thing to do.
