We're the ones who got the Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, Civil Rights Act.

Look, why didn't anybody talk about raising the minimum wage?

The minimum wage nationally is $7.25.

You cannot live on that if you have one full-time job earning the minimum wage, two full-time jobs earning that minimum wage.

And every Republican is opposed to raising the minimum wage, and every Democrat is in favor of raising the minimum wage.

And by the way, and when I say that, I mean elected officials.

The public, including Republicans, 80% of them want to raise the minimum wage.

Why didn't we talk about that in 2024?

Where was that message?

Well, what I really mean is that, you know, and back then it was less bad than it became, which is, look, atrocities have been committed.

There's no doubt about it.

You know, when innocent people

are targeted and when no care is given in some of these attacks to the idea that you might lose a thousand innocent lives in order to take out one guilty person.

That's where I think you lose the world and people like me who believe in human rights.

Having said that, I do not believe that we should wipe Israel off the face of the earth.

Indeed, I believe the answer to this is a two-state solution, that you need a Palestinian state too.

Now, you've got to have a pretty major process first of humanitarian aid to support people who are living in Gaza now because it's been absolutely devastated.

And Israel should be very much a part of supporting that.

And under Benjamin Netanyahu— Yeah, have they shown that willingness?

I mean, and not only that, but I mean, it's been under Benjamin Netanyahu that all these things that I'm describing that I find abhorrent have happened.
