Americans at large are trying to enjoy their life, trying to make sure that they could continue to afford their health care, trying to do basic things.

They're trying to live.

The average American is just trying to survive in this country.

And Donald Trump and these Republicans who have his back are terrorizing and torturing these people.

It's just disgusting to me that we are witnessing this every single day.

I'm not counting on any of these Republicans to stand up to them, unfortunately.

I mean, we should be pushing them to, but they're just freaking cowards.

But this is the country that we have right now.

It's certainly not the country I grew up in.

It's not the country I want to leave to my kids.

But, hey, that's why we're here, you know, putting up the good fight.

It's totally crazy that US troops are going.

I mean, this is, I don't think that was part of the deal.

But I think, you know, what worries me about Donald Trump's comments there mostly is that it shows me they haven't thought about the phase two.

You know, this is being pitched as phase one of this plan.

I wanna remind everybody, we've been to phase one of these plans before in the past.

And I really, you know, there's perhaps nothing more in the world right now that just like,

destroys my soul than what's going on over there from what started over the past two years.

The death, the destruction, the complete devastation, what happened on October 7th, all of it makes me so incredibly sad if I'm being just totally candid with everybody.

Incredibly sad to witness what happened, what continues to happen there.
