But a significant percentage will not.

They think this is a bad idea because they don't want to see American service members killed.

They don't want to spend the money.

They feel like we are getting led around on our foreign policy by NetYahu and the Israeli government.

And those are things that will be harmful to Trump politically.

No, they don't.

And look, normally I kind of roll my eyes.

And when you hear from like military people that were our stockpiles are running lower, this or that, because like, you know, we have a lot of weapons, but experts will tell you that we really are running seriously low on interceptor missiles for missile defense systems.

We're running low on the Tomahawk missiles, the T lambs.

If there is a war with China, God forbid, or if we need to respond to them taking Taiwan, like we will be dangerously low on munitions.

The Chinese are happy about this.

And yes, Trump told us he would end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours.

And instead, he has launched two regime change wars in the first two months of 2026.

Like we have to be able to prosecute that case, Ben, which I think brings us to the Democratic Party's response so far.

So like candidly, most responses I've seen have been pretty weak.

There's some exceptions that we should talk about.

They have been focused on the process and Trump's obligation to come to Congress for a vote before going to war, which of course is true, but it's like not my main issue with going to war with Ron.

Some Democrats have focused on Trump, you know, not explaining his strategy or making the case.

Again, I agree with them, but not the issue.

So like what I just want to see from Democrats is go at the heart of why this is a bad idea.
