Iran is the world's leading State sponsor of terror.

It is willfully negligent to assert that the regime plans to use the money for humanitarian purposes.

There is no political reward in the United States right now for simply speaking the truth.

I would like to see Joe Biden, a wonderful and remarkable man, pass the torch, cement this extraordinary legacy.

People want to turn the page.

We have a duopoly, we have a political industrial complex that if they agree on anything, it's the status quo.

My real call to action right now is not about me. The call to action is to ask the president to pass the torch.

Joe Biden right now is down seven points in the four swing states that will decide the next election. He has historically low approval numbers, Chuck. There are about 55% of Democrats would like to see an alternative.

I would ask that we try to appropriate the resources necessary to do what we all want to do, which is to eliminate the fraud and repatriate the dollars, reclaim, and claw them back, please.

While we cannot and we should not recognize or support the Taliban in any way, we must work alongside our international partners to support the Afghan people.

Donald Trump didn't cause the fraud, nor did Joe Biden.

I want to make sure that we go after the fraudsters.

how do you walk and chew gum at the same time?

On the other hand, we support reducing aid to someone who is, clearly, autocratic.

What would the implications be in this region, particularly, if that were to happen?

I just want to confirm that you support the reestablishment of a coordinator to support repatriation and reintegration efforts in northeast Syria.
