It is gross.

And what is most gross for me, again, is that the people themselves, the Palestinians themselves, are completely off screen.

Like imagine, you know, like somebody's going to have a conversation, you know, about how like your city, your country is going to be governed.

Your people are going to be governed.

And you're not you're not even going to be there.

Right.

Yeah.

It's sickening.

You know, I don't.

I know that a lot of other people were mad.

You know, I actually had a friend of mine who was one of those people who was, like a lot of people were mad.

I mean, my own publicist was mad.

I think particularly the part about, you know, take away the cover, take away this, take away that.

You know, there are people that have things invested in you as a public figure.

And so when you say that, like, you're kind of not just talking about, you know, the person in front of you, like you're making a bigger, you know, sort of global statement.

And I think that probably was a root of a lot of the anger.

But I don't know, man, like I came back and I understood that I had views that were going to be contrary to a lot of people.

Um, and I was perfectly fine.

I'm here.
