Twenty-four days' advance notice before we are going to inspect a site. Are you kidding me? We are going to allow them to self-regulate. That means they can go out in the desert and get clean dirt and clean air and provide that. That is like telling a regular drug user that you can bring somebody else's urine and somebody else's hair sample to a drug test. This is crazy, that we are giving Iran $150 billion and an opportunity to get a nuclear weapon in 10 years or less, assuming they are going to adhere to every line of the agreement, which nobody that I talk to believes Iran is going to adhere to the agreement. They will have a nuclear weapon. The immediate concern is $150 billion in lifted sanctions, money we are giving to Iran so they can continue to fund terrorism around the globe. People will die as a result of this agreement. $150 billion can buy a lot of weapons, financial support for terrorist groups to continue attacking our allies and Americans anywhere they are in the world. Mr. Speaker, I strongly oppose that. As everyone can tell by my passion today, it is time for us to really talk in real terms about what that agreement is.
