I rise today to thank President Trump for saving the world. For those who don't recognize it, we have been at war with Iran for the last 46 years, or more likely and more accurately, Iran has been at war with us. In 1979, they took American citizens hostage and paraded them out on the news day after day after day until President Reagan secured their release. In 1983, a suicide bomb in Beirut, paid for by the Iranians, killed 63 people, including 17 Americans. In 1983, later that year, we all know they blew up our barracks with our marines, killing 241 people. Between 2003 and 2011, more than 600 American soldiers were killed by Iranian proxies. Then obviously on October 7, 2023, 1,200 people were killed by Hamas, but Hamas is a proxy and largely paid for by Iran. Within that 1,200 people, 48 were Americans. It leads me to ask this simple question: What if they had had a nuclear weapon? For decades, American Presidents have said Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. It is a lot of talk but not a lot of action. Over and over and over again, Iran moved forward, building their bunkers deeper, building their sites more widespread, putting the world further at risk. When Donald Trump talks, he doesn't just talk. When he says he is going to do something, he does it. Over the weekend, we saw this President do what has been necessary for decades: To make sure the largest sponsor of terrorism in the world does not have the power to kill us all.

I knocked on 500 doors in the last few days. In the last week, there’s been videos of me with horns growing out of my head, videos of me dressed like a cheerleader, videos of me putting a swastika on my arm.
