SCHEUER: I think we can reduce it very seriously, sir. I disagree with you on Israel, but—
MAHER: In what way? You’re not a supporter?
SCHEUER: I – I hope Israel flourishes. I just don’t think it’s worth an American life or an American dollar. [scattered applause followed by scattered boos]
MAHER: You don’t – you don’t think the existence of Israel in the world is worth an American life or an American dollar?
SCHEUER: Not only Israel, sir, but Saudi Arabia or Kuwait or Bolivia. I’m much more—

SCHEUER: [overlapping] You know, we’ll get by – we’ll get by just fine, sir.
MAHER: I wouldn’t. [applause]
