Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-IN), one of Congress's most pro-Israel Republicans, joins The Tara Palmeri Show to explain why he's proposing to phase out the $3.8 billion in annual U.S. military aid to Israel. We discuss Netanyahu's support for the plan, whether ending aid would actually change the U.S.-Israel relationship, concerns about hidden military cooperation, and what this proposal could mean for America's role in the region.
