So who is going to hold those 535 precious votes? Because right now in the halls of Congress, the alarms are blaring as the gates have been, uh, climbed, hurdled, and they're breaking down the doors.

We saw it on October 7th horrifically, uh, just yesterday, uh, from the day that I am recording here today.

And it is difficult to square the corners when you're talking about Congress and who has been elected and who actually gets one of those 535 votes to cast.

In the Democratic Party, I would argue more than half, uh, well over half, oppose the U.S.-Israel relationship, a relationship that is an America First relationship, a relationship that is good for America, not just good, fantastic for America, as we get far and away more than, uh, Israel does in the relationship.

No, that's, that's not what many in the Democratic Party believe, and it's overwhelmingly an issue in the Democratic Party.

Yes, there are pundits who are conservatives, who are isolationists, who believe we shouldn't spend any money on foreign aid or, uh, on, uh, coordinating with our allies, even if most of that money is spent back here in the United States.


And by the way, there are many more than just those four, uh, in the Democratic Party that already have a vote.

Uh, but now they're bringing in their buddies, like I say, Abdul Saeed in the Senate.

He's, uh, he's running, but there are a dozen others who are running and have a chance, and they are genuine haters, bigots.

Uh, and they also are crazy when it comes to policy good for the United States, 'cause it sure is not good to sever the strong relationship the United States has with Israel.


Uh, but there are many other examples beyond that, including innovation, invention, uh, including, uh, medical exchanges, including military, uh, information and weaponry and munitions.

In fact, much of it coming, uh, back here, uh, to the United States, coming the other way.



And unfortunately, there are those that support terrorism, and we saw it on display the week, uh, beginning October 5th and before for sure, in the Democratic Party in particular.

Uh, statements made, uh, that breathe air, breathe life into, uh, the body politic of the haters, uh, those that support terrorism.
