with the American people $37 trillion in debt, we are weighing whether we should send another $500 million to Jordan. They already have received $1.65 billion from another appropriations request, and they already receive another $1.65 billion every single year from the American taxpayer, who can hardly afford to pay their bills. Let's talk about America's veterans. For the past several decades, we have men and women in our country, great men and women who served in our military, yet they were shipped over to some foreign war in the Middle East. That didn't defend America's border. Our border continued to be overrun by foreign people from all over the world, but they were sent over there to fight for our freedoms. Do you know what they came home with? They came home with physical injuries that they have to live with for the rest of their lives. They came home with PTSD and mental injuries that they live with for the rest of their lives. Unfortunately, they have a suicide rate of over 22 a day. Over 6,400 veterans committed suicide in 2022 and 32,000 veterans were homeless in 2024, yet the debate is about spending another $500 million for the defense of Jordan.

We said no more foreign wars and we meant it and supported Donald Trump because he made that promise. But he’s betrayed us all.

I’m saying exactly that. He told me on the phone that his friends would get hurt and that’s why he’s against releasing the Epstein Files.
