...

Palestinian Youth Movement, Middle Eastern Children's Alliance, Jewis- uh, Jewish Voice for Peace, Medical Aid for Palestinians, Institute for Middle East Understanding, Palestinian Children's Relief Fund, and UNRWA USA.

You know, we could have just done this ourselves, but we shut USA down, so I guess Macklemore-

I-

You know, she's clearly hearing from Ma and Pa, Middle America, that it's the partisanship that's getting them down.

Similarly, an IMEU poll, also from August of 2026, found that Democrats in Michigan, 89%, almost 90%, wanted the U.S. to reduce its support for Israel, which is not a position that Senator Slott can take.

So, You know, it's it's mysterious when people go on these listening tours, they never come back with anything remotely populist.

Yeah, they surprisingly hear what they already want to hear.

I mean...

There is the Institute for Middle East Understanding, IMEU.

They do trainings for people on how to engage in media.

So I would say if you're the kind of person who's expecting that call, who might get that call, and if you get it, you might want to go on and do it.

And you already know Al-Bab portion has a charitable aspect to it where if anything I ask, you don't want to answer, you donate to one of these orgs or I'll donate if you get through all of it.

But mashallah, you're Kareem and I'm sure everybody will donate.

So with that being said, you did pick a couple organizations, U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights, IMEU, and Arab American Institute.

Tell us quickly what got you to pick those three.

And they did, in fact, in 2024.

You know, the IMEU, the Institute for Middle East Understanding, did a poll that they conducted, I believe, with YouGov in March of this past year.

Or actually, it might have been I'm getting the dates confused.

It was a little while ago, right after the 2024 election, and they found that Joe Biden's support for the genocide was a major factor contributing to why people who had voted for Joe Biden in 2020 refused to vote for him again or vote for the Democratic Party candidate Kamala Harris after Joe Biden died.
