So I'm wondering, you know, why is there such contention about these foreign aid packages or maybe parts of it within your party? Well, I think, you know, if you look back at our history leading up to World War II, There was a very strong anti international or foreign aid, international security obligation that the US Government has always historically held. We are, whether we like it or not, the indispensable leader to maintain world peace. And we do that through our military strength and supporting our allies. (04:50–05:04)
