We stop spending trillions of dollars in the Middle East.

And instead, maybe we can spend it on our roads so that you have better roads, better schools.

Israel, Gaza, Americans are paying for this.

We send $20 billion in military aid abroad while school districts lose teachers because they can't pay.

Everything foreign has a domestic counterpart that we can lean on.

China takes our jobs and Wall Street doesn't care.

They make money off of it.

Trump's tariffs were a part of that.

That absolutely hurt us.

But we can't seem to, on the left, we can't seem to articulate that to someone here in Boise, Idaho, so that they understand, I don't care.

I can tell you probably 90% of the people here in Boise don't care about what's going on in Iran, other than the fact that they're at the pump.

It's a problem.

And Taiwan...

That's a huge one that will be a huge problem for everyone that maybe you don't know, but every car, phone, laptop has Taiwanese chips in it.

And if we don't keep that safe and secure as a foreign policy matter, that's going to be like a collapsing event for us.

So everything, the Republicans owned the Ukraine narrative, stop spending money, we should stop spending money.

My counter was, well, the last time we let a European dictator go unchecked, it took 60 million lives and hundreds of thousands of Americans to stop it.

And it was a world altering event.

And then when you present it as, well, we are degrading the Russian military for less than 5% of our own defense budget without losing a single American life.

That means that you can project in the future saying, hey, we will not have to deal with
