They see Israel really behind every imagined conflict or conspiracy.

Some of it has been abiding anti-Semitic sentiment.

And some of it also has been, I think, a newfound view that why are we engaged in a conflict in the Middle East?

Well, we can see

the Israeli government and Bibi Netanyahu in particular, are only too pleased to have us there.

Why do they have so much influence?

That's right.

And I do think that people who'd never asked these questions before relating to Israel are starting to accept the framing of a Candace Owens or a Tucker Carlson that, well, this has been going on for a long time, which has, from certain angles and at particular times, metastasized into outright anti-Semitism in certain corners.

But there's no question that the role of Israel, and for that matter, support for Israel in America, is in a very different place than it was just a few years ago.

Yeah, this guy is Joe Kent, who was the director of the National Counterterrorism Center.

This guy was a far right close ally of Donald Trump, a 2020 election denier.

So very much a part of the MAGA community.

No one's idea of a rhino.

And here he was submitting his resignation and walking out and making public exactly why he did resign, saying that in his belief, Iran did not constitute an imminent threat.

Yeah, well, one reflection of it is that Republican elected officials, with the exception of two Kentuckyites, Thomas Massey and Rand Paul, have been full-throated in their support for Trump.

They wouldn't be doing that if they believed that there's going to be hell to pay back home.

And when we look at opinion surveys, they seem by and large to reflect the MAGA coalition being behind Trump and thus behind his work.

I've seen another one, however, Natalie, from the Democracy Institute, which is a conservative group.

And that poll very clearly shows that Trump is losing young voters.

He's losing Black and Latino voters.
