But I think he strongly believes he is doing the right thing, which to me means like he probably shouldn't be the ambassador to Israel.

Like he could probably be the ambassador kind of like anywhere else, but maybe not Israel.

So that's a major issue.

But look, the fact that no one removed him, that does speak to the power that the Israeli lobby has now.

on our government.

And the fact that like you have to resign from the government and come out like I am and say this, you really can't say it from within the government and be taken seriously or even listened to.

That just shows you how powerful these guys are.

And it's not like they're around every corner threatening people or paying people off, but there is enough of a power dynamic there.

I mean, we had Adelson was at the dinner last night at the White House and she gave over a hundred million dollars to the president.

Like, look,

People are powerful.

That's just the way politics is.

And at the end of the day, again, just like our relationship with Israel on the battlefield, I think we have to look at what our relationship is with Israel here in Washington, D.C.

and in terms of foreign lobbying and say, is that good for the country?

And I don't think it's healthy for us to have that relationship with any country.

I completely agree.

Joe, last couple of questions here.

There was some speculation that you had resigned to make a splash so you could run for office in the future.

Is that your plan?

What are you looking at?
