Sen Scott: One of the things that we should put in context for the American viewer is that 1,200 dead in Israel is like 40,000 killed in America. What we know without any question is that there cannot be a hint of daylight between us, the United States of America, and Israel as they respond to this attack. That is absolutely essential that they know we have their backs. We stand shoulder to shoulder with Israel, number one. Number two, we need to make sure that they have all the resources that they need. The good news, Gayle, is over the last 10 years, we've had a strong partnership with Israel and their military. So we know they have the resources, but there will be a desperate need as this pulls out and goes on. We'll have to be in the position to refill some of the assets and resources that will be depleted along the way.

Sen Scott: Well, here's what we know without any question. Hamas thanked Iran for their support and their assistance. We know that for sure. We know that the president of Iran said, without any question, the $6 billion will be used any way we want. We also know, we can see it reinforced throughout the globe that when there's weakness in the White House, there's blood in the streets, whether that's in Ukraine, when President Biden said a small incursion might not be that big of a deal, when he said to Putin, if you cyber attacks some areas just don't cyber attack these areas, and frankly, when you negotiate and give $6 billion, you create a market for hostages. And the response to that has been Iran has, and Hamas working together without much of a question. 90% of the money that comes into Hamas comes from Iran.
