But I also think like where this disconnect is with leadership and young people, you can draw it really back to this because, you know,
Chuck Schumer became the leader of the Democrats in 2016.
And he did not support the Obama-brokered nuclear deal, the JCPOA, which was a peace deal with Iran that was immensely successful, where we had third-party monitors that would go in and monitor their uranium enrichment, and also we unfroze their assets.
And Trump came in, listened to Benjamin Netanyahu in that lobby, and scrapped it.
And that's part of why we're in this situation today, because the Israelis wanted more war.
And Chuck Schumer was a Democrat that did not support that.
He went against the president at the time and said, I do not support this peace deal with Iran.

caterpillar bulldozers that are destroying homes in the West Bank and paving over evidence of likely hundreds of thousands of unaccounted for dead bodies in Gaza, destroying genocide evidence.
