“I will close with this. In a couple of years, this country is going to be celebrating its 250th birthday on July 2, 2026. The question we have to ask ourselves is whether or not we are going to have a country that we pass down to our kids and grandkids. I believe we can and will. I believe we only will if the people who campaign and go to the people saying that they are going to change this town, saying that they are going to stop the unlimited spending, saying that they are going to do something about a trillion dollars of debt racked up every 100 days, saying they are going to do something about a trillion dollars of interest in 2026--we are spending more on interest than our national debt--saying that they are going to secure the border of the United States, saying that they are going to end the woke and weaponized government targeting the American people, saying that they are going to make sure that we don't have endless wars that are making our military overstretched and overrun and making it difficult for our men and women in uniform with a woke military and undermining their ability to recruit and have a military that functions, when our colleagues go out and campaign on those things, we should deliver. We should do something about it. We should be willing to give up the precious, to quote ``The Lord of the Rings,'' give up the precious of an election certificate if it means taking the steps necessary to fight for this country.…”
