So that's the context here.
How concerned are you about this kind of rhetoric and this Antifa designation being used as a pretext to just go after Trump's enemies?
So are we popping the top and hanging out the family jewels or is that a no?
Look, I try to keep you guessing.
No, I did want to ask you about the No Kings protests this Saturday.
I will be attending.
But top Republicans like Speaker Johnson, they've called the protests a hate America rally.
I think Johnson also said attendees will be from the pro-Hamas wing of the Democratic Party.
What do you make of those comments?
And what do you say to listeners who might be a little nervous about going to a big protest when you got the president sending ICE goons and National Guard members to American cities?
Yeah, that will be a nightmare for basically every family.
President Trump, he just brokered this ceasefire and hostage release deal between Israel and Hamas.
It's unequivocally a good thing.
We're all praying that it holds.
But it comes after a huge cost and two years of brutal war.
And politically speaking, Gaza has led to this big dip in support for Israel among Democrats.
How do you think, if at all, the Democratic Party should adjust its policy towards Israel in the wake of the war and in the kind of anger at the brutal way the IDF conducted itself in the Gaza Strip?
Like, for example, should Democrats vote against providing Israel with billions in a 10-year MOU for foreign military financing?
Sure, as you've seen, too, there's a lot of anger among Democrats at AIPAC for demanding that Democrats, you know, sort of take the Netanyahu line on everything and for intervening in Democratic primaries in particular and going after progressive candidates.
Do you think that Democrats should take money from AIPAC's political action committee?
