“I want to move on to what I intended to talk about today, and that is Iran. I will not speak that long. I think it is important to respond to the outrageous comments made by the Government of Iran this week and this latest stunt by the despotic Iranian regime that said: The United States may have the power to cause harm and pain, but it is also susceptible to harm and pain. If the United States wishes to choose that path, let the ball roll. First, there is a method to this madness. There is a method to this, with what this regime needs and is seeking to do. It needs crisis. It needs to raise the level of tension to justify its own increased militarization in the harsh security measures at home. That is what it is intending to do. On the other hand, we have to take them at their threat, at their word. If they are threatening the United States, take them at their word. Hitler told us in ``Mien Kampf'' what he was going to do. We did not listen, and there was a terrible price to be paid. The Iranian mullahs and the President are telling us they intend to destroy Israel. They are very clear that they are on a path to obtain nuclear weapons. We know it. Let's take them at their word. Let's say: Yes, this is what you want to do, we know it, and we will not let you do it. When the President of Iran issued the first threat about the destruction of Israel, behind him was a huge banner, with good graphics. It was a big hourglass. The hourglass ball is dropping.…”
