18 to 49 year old Republicans, it's like 57, 60%.

I mean, I think that people who really care about Israel and who are much more pro-Israel should really think long and hard about why it is that they have lost the public battle over this, the public opinion war over this so badly and why it has shifted so dramatically over the last couple of years.

And the answer is not because of TikTok,

I was going to say, yes.

You know, it's just not.

And at this point, it's insulting to tell people that.

And I think if you really care about Israel, then you need to think long and hard about, like, why this has happened and whether fighting so hard to continue the U.S.

relationship with Israel as it is right now with the aid that we're giving it is really worth what has happened to public opinion because of it.

And what I would say is don't avoid this question because it's fraught.

That's good advice generally, yes.

Just, you know, and it's like if you don't know enough about it, learn more about it and decide.

First, you know, always decide.

Forget about the polls.

Decide what you believe.

about this issue, just as you should decide and have a real thoughtful response and ideas on, you just mentioned it, artificial intelligence or any number of controversial issues that will be, or non-controversial issues that will be debated in 2028.

Figure out what your position is, figure out where you would go, figure out how you would answer these questions.

That's the most important thing from like a, what do you believe moral perspective?

But I should just say, and we went through this in 2020, there are some positions that in a primary are argued about and Democratic candidates worry because they're like, oh, well, I'm pushed to the left in a primary and I'm taking these lefty positions.

Then I got to worry about what happens in a general.

And this this whole issue about Israel and AIPAC, this is not one of those issues, right?
