"AIPAC, they put in $127 million in the last election cycle, number one donor class, right? In that cycle. Normally, Big Pharma's number one, the drug companies, right? Uh, so, but what— they put in $127 million, what'd they get back out? At a minimum, Trump gave them another $13 billion, right, on top of the $320 from earlier. It's a good return. Yeah, if you put in $127 million, you get $13 billion back, that's 100 to 1."
