If Americans are going to say, we hate Israel, we don't want to be giving aid to Israel anymore, we don't want our money funding Israel's wars, we don't want to die for Israel.

I mean, there's all these ridiculous talking points about how

Americans are dying for Israel when we don't have troops on the ground in Israel.

If anything, Israelis are dying for Americans.

You know, one of the things that I did, Steve, when I was in Israel is I met a lot of IDF soldiers, and they're on the front lines doing the counterterrorism intelligence work that we are benefiting from with our shared intel agreement with the Israeli government.

And so there's a huge PTS issue.

How was that received?

I just want to make it very clear.

I'm not Israeli.

When I say we, I'm approaching this from a perspective as an American.

I'm not Israel first.

I'm America first.

But this is in the best interest of America and also Israel.

We're $38 trillion in debt, and the Israelis understand this.

They understand that there's an optics issue right now.

I don't think that this is an issue that's been created by the Israeli government, but it's just a reality.

I don't think that we're going to be able, it doesn't matter how much money the Israeli government throws at this, I don't think that we're going to be able to convince a large portion of the American voting population that our relationship with Israel is beneficial.

I believe that it is beneficial.

I mean, the math is pretty clear.

We got a $48 billion return on our investment for the aid that we give them, Steve, and we get enormous amounts of counterterrorism intelligence that is protecting Americans from the threat of global Islamic jihad.
