host: you talked about ukraine. where do you think support for the funding of israel will stand in the house? guest: the house has already passed a stand-alone bill for israeli funding. it just wasn't taken up in the senate. and then joe biden just came out this past week and said he would not accept a stand-alone bill for israel. that was really befuddling. it baffles me. i don't understand why. but that's political gamesmanship, really. israel is under attack. not only from hamas, which, of course, is an iran proxy. but the motherland itself, iran directly attacked this past week. so i think that that should shake the bushes and get this thing done. but the democrats, again, are stalling on that as well. host: is it democrats or some republicans too as far as that philosophy of concerns about future funding of israel? guest: well, if there's some republicans in the house that are talking about that, i haven't heard it. there certainly may be. there's almost 220 of us. but the overmajority, 99% of republicans want
