Discussion on U.S. foreign policy and health care priorities (Part 3)

Southern Lebanon. And then we use the argument that if you push back on this state of affairs, it must be because you hate somebody. No, it is because I love both that Jewish Israeli child and that Palestinian child to the same degree. And so I think we just have to go back to our principles. What is it that we want? How do we get what we want? And then what is it? How is it that we want to behave in the world? We've allowed a certain kind of realpolitik since Kissinger to goad us into thinking that we can somehow dictate the future by just figuring out what's in our best interest in the next five minutes. I believe international law, we built a lot of that international law after World War II, and we have become the chief violator of international law. So how is it that we should be engaging with a country that is using our money to do terrible things? War crimes at the minimum, genocide at the maximum, that we are running, cover for at all of the institutions that are supposed to enforce international law? My approach is simple. Treat the government of Israel the way you would treat any other government that did the same thing. And my family comes from Egypt, and I want to do the same thing with Egypt. Egypt violates human rights law. Egypt shouldn't be getting $3.3 billion of our tax dollars. And I would hate if somebody would be like, well, because you share the ethnicity of 95% of the people in Egypt, for us to say that the Egyptian government is doing terrible things must be anti Egyptian. No, it is just applying our principles evenly everywhere. So I feel like the biggest challenge for Democrats in Congress over the next two years is that, you know, you were all elected because people want you to focus on putting money in people's pockets. And. But because Trump is in the White House, it's going to be very difficult to do that. And you can already feel that with this Democratic majority and the way that you won on Tuesday, expectations are very high. And so, like, what is your top priority as senator over the next two years in terms of, like, actually getting something done for the people of Michigan? The number one most important thing we can do is protect people from the health care nuclear bomb. That's.
