00:00There's a number of members of your caucus who are signaling that they will skip Prime
00:05Minister Netanyahu's joint address next month and perhaps even hold counter-programming.
00:09Do you support their decision to do so?
00:11As I've repeatedly said, as is the case with respect to any joint address to Congress,
00:19every individual member will make a decision as to whether they will participate or not
00:28participate.
00:29Thanks.
00:30Just quickly.
00:31If you could.
00:32So you're critical of the MAGA Republicans who are bending the knee to Trump.
00:37What do you say to these voters and could you court some of them if you're putting them
00:42in this category of being extreme MAGA Republicans?
00:46How do you kind of pitch that to voters who might come on the Democratic team?
00:49We are not saying to traditional Republicans or conservatives to leave the Republican Party.
00:55The Republican Party has left now.
00:58Extreme MAGA Republican movement is different than the traditional Republican movement,
01:05which is why you are seeing traditional Republicans leave the Congress, leave the Republican Party,
01:16or indicate that in 2024 they're going in a different direction.
