Now we have an armed lunatic who set off an incendiary device outside New York City federal headquarters where the FBI and ice, among others, have important offices. And you know, ladies and gentlemen, when you keep calling ICE Nazis and SS and that they're disappearing people and the most horrible things and you're accusing them of the most horrible things, this is what happens. The Democrats keep doing this. They keep doing it about Trump, they keep doing it about Republicans, they keep doing it about Netanyahu and Israel, they keep doing it. This is a violent party. It's always been a violent party. It's never embraced Americanism. As the New York Post writes that a crazed former US army soldier and National Guardsman lit an incendiary device outside a Manhattan federal building today in an apparent anti ICE attack, officials and law enforcement sources said. The suspect, identified by sources as 43 year old Andrew Arabaca, veteran from Poughkeepsie, New York was being held as a person of interest in the 8:20am incident outside 26 Federal Plaza after being stopped by a security guard. At approximately 8:20am an anti ICE rioter launched fireworks outside of 26 Federal Plaza, grazing a bystander and poured what is believed to be gasoline on the stairs of the entrance of the building. He lit it on fire and set it on fire. He represented for the Department of Homeland Security, told the New York Post. He certainly did. An FPS protective security officer swiftly tackled and detained the agitator, sustaining minor injuries during the incident. I mean, good for these security guards, you know. Officers quickly recovered the individual's bag which contained what appeared to be two pellet guns and a manifesto with the damn manifestos. Officials didn't immediately reveal what was in the manifesto, although we can guess. No charges have been officially filed, but of course they will be. Rebaka was identified by sources as a person of interest in the incident. Officials said the maniac started ablaze with gasoline and fireworks and so forth. He was pulling a cart with the slogan ICE off our streets. And again, you're going to see more of this now. Violence against ICE is up 1300%. Let me repeat that one, 300%. While video shared on social media showed the raving suspect hurling fireworks into the flames right outside the building front entrance with one exploding loudly as police tackled him to the ground. Of course, it could have been a whole lot worse, couldn't it? Could have been a whole lot worse. I just worry that the violence that is being encouraged, he really is being encouraged by the Democrat Party and the left and some of the media. What do they think is going to happen when things of this sort are done? This is what happens. This is the kind of response you get, as a matter of fact. And it's very violent out there. Here we have the Tate brothers. I never heard of them before, like a couple years ago. Had you, Mr. Producer? Vaguely. Right. And yet they were sort of celebrated by the Tucker Carlson types in the woke. Right. Did you notice that, Richard, when they came into the United States, they were greeted, they were vetted, they were effectively applauded. Now, these two scumbags were apparently running a slave sex operation and some have even said child pornography. They're in Miami. They're being detained also. Great Britain wants to get a whack at them, too, for what they apparently are accused of doing over there. But I want you to keep something in mind that these guys were embraced by the likes of Tucker Carlson, among others. And it's repulsive, it's absolutely damnable. And there's very little talk about not the fact that they were detained, but their associations and that sort of thing. And of course, as you can imagine, they were Jew haters and anti Semites and so forth, but they were also embraced by some politicians, as a matter of fact, and we're going to dive into that a little bit right now here. This is from Fox News. Tate brothers to remain behind bars for now as UK seeks extradition on rape and trafficking charges. Social media influencers Listen to this. Social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate will remain behind bars for now after appearing in federal court in Miami today, where they formally began fighting the United Kingdom's bid to extradite the controversial brothers on dozens of charges, including rape and human trafficking. During the brief hearing, US Magistrate Judge Lauren Lewis informed the brothers they were being held on a provisional arrest warrant from the UK and that extradition proceedings were already underway. The judge later scheduled a status hearing for January. Excuse me. July 27th. Attorney Joseph McBride told reporters the brothers are innocent. He said he does not expect them to be released. Yeah, I don't see them as innocent either. Judge also explained the proceeding was an extradition matter, not a criminal trial per se. They were arrested in Miami over the weekend at the British authorities announced 38 additional charges involving four additional alleged victims. Andrew Tatus, 39, faces seven additional rape counts seven, as well as charges related to sex trafficking and indecent images of children. Tristan Tate, 38, faces charges, including two rape counts and three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation. These sexual traffickers are the lowest of the low lives, man. They're the lowest of the low lives and these guys were celebrated by the woke, right?

Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua is a communist. His wife is a communist, and the duo run Nicaragua with an iron fist, as communists do. Ortega was elected in the 1980s and then defeated in part due to the great Ronald Reagan who helped push him out and supported the freedom fighters. But he's held on to power now for about 20 years. And of course, elections in communist countries are phony anyway, just as they're phony in some of the Islamist countries like Turkey and Pakistan. But Ortega has boldly announced no more elections. Now he's a communist. As I said, no more elections, he says, you know, if the Marxist Islamists and yes, the Democrat Party get their way, elections will be nothing but a foregone conclusion in our country, a Potemkin exercise in phony democracy as they destroy the electoral processes established in our constitution and further alter our immigration system as well as electoral procedures in the States. You think that's overstating it, Mr. Medusa? Isn't that why they're doing these things? I don't think there's any question about it. I don't think there's any question about it at all. In addition, ladies and gentlemen, I started a discussion yesterday that I want to continue today and I will continue on my Fox program. And I expect the backbencher plagiarists to regurgitate it if they're smart. If they're not smart, they won't. That's this phrase, working people, working people. Now, working people, we all identify don't we as working people? Those of us who actually work every day. Working people. But the democrats, that is the Marxist communists and the Islamists, they use it, they use it in a way where they, they literally attempt to hijack the phrase and they want everybody to believe that they are for working people. And so they, they repeat it time and time and time again. We're about working people, what to do for working people, what to provide working people. And as I thought through it last night and shared with you, and I'm thinking through it now and want to share with you again, Communism is all about working people killing them, enslaving them and brutalizing them. It has always amazed me how the communists talk up the working people. Those 60 million people Mal slaughtered and starved to death. They were working people. Those concentration camps Xi has set up in communist China with millions of people, those are working people in those concentration camps. Those 30 to 40 million people Stalin murdered and starved to death. They were working people too. The millions of people in North Korea in concentration camps as well as murdered and starved to death, more working people. Cuba is populated with millions of enslaved working people and so forth and so on. You see, for the Communists, the working people are key. They're there to serve the state. They're there to serve the centralized masterminds, the power structure. Only in free societies, and especially in this one in America, our quote, unquote, working people, the heart and soul of the society, of freedom, of independence, of innovation, of productivity, of wealth, creation, of prosperity. We're in a society that truly respects the working people, that believes in the working people, that the working people are the backbone of our society, not the backbone of our government, not the backbone of political parties, the backbone of our society. We are the sovereign. Each one of you as individuals, an individual human being. You are a sovereign. Collectively, we are the sovereign. Communism doesn't view the working people as the sovereign. They don't view the working people as the sovereign at all. The working people need to be manipulated. They need to be redefined. Re educated. Anybody who steps out of line needs to be eliminated, shamed, pushed out of the way. They don't really mean working people. They mean enslaved people. The people are to be slaves to the state. The people are to be slaves to the masterminds. That people are to be slaves to an ideology that cannot work and never does work, wherever it's tried and whenever it's tried. When you have people, very stupid people like John Stewart or Hassan Piker or Bernie Sanders tell you that there are people that don't have enough to eat, people who do not have enough clothes, people who do not have enough homes. The fact of the matter is we have more people who have enough food, more people have enough clothing, more people have enough homes than any society on the face of the earth. It is not perfect because human beings are not perfect. So institutions cannot and will never be perfect. But there are institutions that are more perfect than other institutions. If you live in a slave state, that is, we're working, people are effectively enslaved and work for the state and have to work for the state in order to be fed, have to work for the state in order to have clothing and housing and so forth. You have no opportunity, you have no opportunity for betterment. None whatsoever. They call it a classless society. Of course it's classless. It's a dehumanized society. So there aren't people who are more successful than other. There aren't people who, based on merit and hard work, have achieved more than others. There aren't people willing to take risks unless they're willing to be killed summarily. The whole human factor is taken out of the ideology when we're talking about communism. So people don't have clothing or food or housing for a variety of reasons. It's not uniquely and exclusively the system. It might be a person, him or herself, who has decided to follow a course that is a bad course of action for them, for their families and so forth and so on. And in America, the freest of the free societies, at least up to now, there are always adjustments being made, there's always changes being made. There's always reforms being made, even without the government dictating them. Why? Because if some guy in his garage or some guy in his kitchen, or some guy working on a car and gals too obviously comes up with a better idea, a niche idea. We might call it reform, we might call it improvement. They're motivated not simply because they're free, which is important. And they're free to think for themselves. They're free to try and fail, but because maybe they want to become famous, maybe they want to become successful and wealthy. Whatever the reason is, it doesn't matter. But that person in a communist regime is a threat, thinking for him or herself, acting on his or her own, her own motivations. This is why they classify us as groups. And from the communist perspective, we can never get out of the group. If you're rich, that's it. And you're bad. And you need to be addressed, that is taken down. If you're poor, that's it. It doesn't matter why you're poor. It's the system that we will blame and therefore the system needs to be taken down. No individual responsibility because there's no individual merit. Again, they don't care about working people. They are dehumanizing working people. They are dehumanizing the massive middle class in the United States of America, which is the backbone of this society, the backbone of our culture and the backbone of our economic system. If you all decided not to work tomorrow, we'd go broke. The country would collapse. But there's enough of us still, probably most of us who think as individuals, right? And we make the system work. So communism is about working people killing them, enslaving them, brutalizing them, controlling them. It is the most effective ideology ever imposed on human beings. It is an ideology that does not comprehend human nature and yet seeks to destroy it for some non defined general good. And that's why people who've accomplished nothing, people who've experienced almost nothing, that's why those people can run regimes that are communist regimes. Because you need absolutely no knowledge, absolutely no experience. You just need an ideology backed up by an iron fist. As America celebrates 250 years of independence, we're reminded that freedom is a blessing and a responsibility. America and Israel share a unique bond of friendship rooted in faith, freedom, democracy, and the belief that every person is created with dignity and purpose. Today, that friendship matters more than ever. At this very hour, the people of Israel face ongoing deadly attacks from all sides. Jewish families live in fear and constant uncertainty. Yet through the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, Christians across America now have an opportunity to stand strong on behalf of our Jewish brothers and sisters. To commemorate this historic moment and show your support for the enduring friendship between America and Israel, you can request your free US Israel flag pin today from the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

So here's Ortega via Reuters. Nicaragua's long serving president, President Daniel Ortega. You notice these guys never leave voluntarily. They die in office. Said the Central American country will no longer hold elections, eliminating the possibility of an electoral challenge when his term ends next year. And further Entrenching the rule he shares with his wife Rosario Marilla. Now keep in mind when you look at North Korea, the founder of North Korea was a Stalinist. He handed the country over to his son when he died, like, like in his will, and then when his son died, handed the country over to his second son. That would be the founder's grandson. Like he was in the estate. He was in the will. Ortega, who has continuously held power since 2007 following an earlier presidential term in the 1980s, said the move will close off any path to the opposition, although he did not provide details about carrying out the ban. Quote, there won't be any more elections here for them to try to seize the government and seize power. Elections are not about seizing the government or seizing power, are they? They're about the people making a determination. But not in Nicaragua. Ortega said this in a speech on Sunday evening to commemorate the 1979 Sandinista Revolution, which Ortega helped overthrow the US backed Somoza dictatorship. Now Reagan said enough of that. And of course he funded the freedom fighters in Nicaragua and overthrew the Sandinistas. But he leaves office and then of course the Sandinistas are back. The days when parties backed by the Yankees, the United States, he says, and the Somoza Arias would return to power are over. Never again. So they always have to have, they always have to have a boogeyman. We're not involved at all in their elections. And then you can hear the same kind of talk from a Bernie Sanders and an AOC and anybody that's with the Democratic Socialists of America, AKA American Communists, American Marxists, same thing. The billionaires, the billionaires. We get the billionaires and the billionaires. When Mao kicked 60 million people, excuse me, slaughtered 60 million people, killed them. It was not about the billionaires, was it in Cuba, which is basically a concentration camp? It's not about the billionaires. Is it in North Korea where people are starving to death and they're in internment camps? That's not about the billionaires, is it? Communist China? Not about the billionaires, is it? No, it's not. And in New York City today, it's not about the billionaires either. It's about controlling the population. In fact, it's about changing the population, changing it. And the emphasis is on the people who are, who are like sheep. They need to go on the public dole. They need to demand more from the government. They need to become reliant on the city government and those who speak out and those who are entrepreneurs and those who are small business people and those who say no, they're the problem, don't you know? They're the fascists. U.S. secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement Tuesday that Ortega's decision to no longer hold elections lays bare their true authoritarian nature. Well, that's for sure. And that the Nicaraguan people have the right to choose their own leaders through democratic elections. The Trump administration has described the Ortega government as a dictatorship. That's funny. They have to say the Trump administration described it as a dictatorship. Is it not a dictatorship? And it posts sanctions of more than 2,350 Nicaraguan officials and their relatives. See, there's a class structure not in the United States, where people can be rich and poor and then poor and then rich, powerful and then not powerful and so forth and so on. Where there are elections that change governments and change parties all the time. But not so in communist regimes. Not so in communist regime. That's where the autocrats are. And yet they use the language, don't they? They use the language to describe that which they are, but they point the finger at their opponents. That's what Bernie Sanders is expert at. Nicaragua's last election in 2021 was widely disputed. If to Ortega detained opponents of business leaders in criminalized dissent. You know who else does that? America. Erdogan in Turkey. Erdogan and Turkey. No, no, no. F35s for Erdogan in Turkey. Or anything else for that matter, as far as I'm concerned. Last year Ortega further consolidated his power through a series of constitutional reforms. Oh, constitutional reforms. You see, of the sort. The Democrat Party and their Marxist Islamist access is encouraging constitutional reforms. We eliminate the United States Senate. If we can't eliminate it, we add four more Democrats by adding a city, D.C. and a territory, Puerto Rico. That's right. We eliminate real elections by eliminating the Electoral College. So we have direct elections where the blue cities and states control the outcomes. It's not a real election. That's not really democracy, is it, America? That's not the consent of the government, unless you're in those 12 states. Forget about the other 38 states. The Democrats have a million ideas. Oh, yeah, a million ideas. And they call it all democracy. The Communists call everything democracy. They call it reform as well. They're there to reform the system. The system is corrupt. We're going to take it over. We're going to rejigger it. We're going to make all these fantastic changes for the working people. The UN Human Rights Council has accused Ortega and Murillo's government, that's his wife. Transforming the country into authoritarian state and systematically violating human rights. Imagine that. Comes with the territory, doesn't it? In 2018, Ortega responded in widespread anti government protests with a crackdown in which more than 300 people were killed. Imagine that. Analysts and opposition politicians in exile said the declaration put into focus the reality of two person rule under the Ortegas, while revealing the couple's fear of an opposition movement taking root. Well, that's why they have a police state. Ortega, Morella are evidently afraid at the idea that the slightest political opening could create the conditions of dissent to manifest and threaten their grip on power. Now, if this sounds like the Islamist regime in Iran, you're right. But the Islamist regime in Iran goes one step further. Those people are prepared to die for the cause as long as we die. Also. The country of Nicaragua is transformed into a full fledged family run dictatorship. Felix Maradiaga, a presidential hopeful for the opposition. Imagine how brave these people are. Who was jailed in Nicaragua from 2021 to 2023 before being expelled to the US said he saw Ortega's comments less as a show of force than as a confession of fear. Okay, well, all the words are important and all the comments are important, but there he is. And who's going to stop him? Nobody. Nobody. Nobody's going to stop him. Now I have to say, when Reagan was president, he pushed a lot of these communists out of Central and South America. And I think the President is of this mind too, once he takes care of Iran. But the issue with Iran, to me, let me be blunt with you. We've got sort of an on again, off again war. And that does not lead to victory, ultimately. An on again, off again war. You know what leads to victory? Victory. And I'm tired of people saying this regime can't be defeated because it's an ideology. All regimes are based on an ideology. All of them, whether they're communist or fascist or Islamist, they're all built on an ideology. The Soviet Union collapsed. We were told over and over again, containment, mutual assured destruction, they can't be defeated. Until one man said, no more with this detente, no more with this defeatism. The Soviet Union could be defeated and we can do it without sending in ground troops. And he did it. Reagan. And I'm here to tell you the Iranian regime can be defeated, but we have to be willing to embrace all of the potential resources and tools that are out there. Number one, the Iranian people must be armed. I know I sound like a broken record, but sometimes broken records are necessary. They can be trained, they can be armed, they can be supported with air support, with satellite monitoring of the enemy and so forth and so on. It can be done if we have a CIA with the willpower to do it and hopefully a director who's willing to do absolutely can be done. Taking down the Soviet Union was much more complicated and difficult than taking down this Iranian regime. Number two, if we're serious about defeating the regime, victory. We must ignore what the Arab countries are telling us and what Turkey is telling us and stop sidelining the third most powerful air force on the face of the earth and one of the greatest intelligence services on the face of the earth, and that would be the Israeli Mossad and air force and their idf. They're in the neighborhood, their cities have been hit, they are threatened all the time. But they, like the Iranian people, are poised and motivated to defeat the Iranian regime. You know, people talk about our helping Israel over these decades. Let me tell you something. Nobody has helped these Arab countries more than the United States. Most of the bases we have in the Middle east, they're not in Israel. They're in one Arab country after the other, aren't they? And we have men and women who are positioned in these various Arab countries on these various bases. We have defended the Arab countries against threats from Russia, against threats now from China and now threats from Iran. These monarchies and these dictatorships shouldn't be dictating to us how and when and how we defeat the Iranian regime. Nor should Turkey, which is led by a nationalist, socialist Islamist, a grave threat to us and his own people.

We have a little issue here in the great state of New Jersey. The software vendor that the governor blamed there for the glitches that wound up Registering to vote 6600 non citizens. She blamed the software company. The vendor says, we had nothing to do with it. Wow. We had nothing to do with this. Just the news reports. The New Jersey government and its vendor now publicly dispute who was supposed to catch an error that allows thousands of non citizens to register to vote, raising direct questions about the integrity of the safeguards for voters. And they're told they can trust these safeguards. Right. Just hours after New Jersey governor Mikey. Is it Mikey and Mickey. I guess it's Mikey. Cheryl blamed. It's Mikey. Mikey. Cheryl blamed a software glitch for thousands of non citizens being registered to the vote. The software company involved said, that's not us. Ademia, the software vendor for the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission issued a statement saying it was the responsibility of the state government, which is completely controlled by Democrats, to verify eligibility to vote. Edemia works with the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, they said, and has for more than 40 years to support the process through which eligible individuals may indicate their interest in registering to vote when applying for or renewing a driver's license or state issued identification card. Edema's role is to transmit information through motor vehicle system. That's what they said in a statement. That just the news. The voter registration information is transmitted to the New Jersey Department of State Division of Elections, which is ultimately responsible for verifying eligibility to vote. Information submitted by EDEMIA must still be validated and adjudicated by the Division of Elections. Now that makes a lot of sense. Actually. The vendor is not the one validating the information. They don't have the information to check the registrant. Right. The election office of the state does. And that's what they're saying. We convey the information, but they have to check it. These individuals answered no when asked on a keypad whether they were a US citizen when applying for driver's licenses and ID cards. But through no fault of their own, the system registered them anyway, said Governor Fraud. I mean Cheryl. Cheryl also said the errors occurred under the previous administration, Phil Murphy, who was a complete loser and schmo. So we got to get to the bottom of this. We got to get to the bottom of this. And apparently the Department of Justice wants to get to the bottom of this. Here's the New York Post. Dog launches probe into how New Jersey puts 6,600 non citizens on voter rolls. Gives Governor Shear a five day deadline. The DOJ is demanding that New Jersey Governor Mikey Sherrill fork over key data about the 6,600 non citizens who erroneously registered the vote, including their names. Yesterday, Sherrill blamed a serious software error on the state's motor vehicle system involving French tech company Edemia for the mishap that led to roughly 400 non citizens voting. Imagine this, this stuff going on throughout the throughout the country. Seriously, imagine this going on throughout the country. Mm, I'm sure it does. Assistant Attorney General Harme Dillon, who helms the DOJ's Civil Rights Division, soon thereafter blasted out a missive outlining her demands for the investigation, including the nationalities, registration dates and other key information for the 6,600 people. Good for her. Dylan gave the state a five day deadline to turn over that information. Noncitizens are not allowed to vote in federal elections. Obviously, the DOJ also cited the debacle in its ongoing lawsuit against the Garden State seeking access to voter roll data. Voter roll data. The federal government has a right to look at the state voter roll data and the state is supposed to update it every few years. As I mentioned to you, you have blue states that are not doing this. California has been sued over it, and obviously New Jersey's being sued over it. I bet New York's being sued over it. It's intentional. The dog also cited that debacle in this lawsuit. Now, the Trump administration has a long history of weaponizing the Justice Department for political purposes, attempting to overturn election results, says Sean Higgins, a spokes idiot for the idiot governor. The idiot Governor Josh Got Heimer, Democrat, North Jersey, also penned a missive Wednesday demanding the heads of the GSA and the Ombudsman conduct a full review of Ademia's federal contracts. Demeanor run systems such as TSA PreCheck and driver's license programs of most states. Governor Sherrill revealed that the state has hired an outside group, csg, to investigate the matter, which will ostensibly look into failures on the state side as well. This should be done in every state it certainly should be done in every state that has not reviewed its voting rolls and. And does not intend to review its voting rules. As required by federal law. As required by federal law. Okay, that's the update. Now, the update is the vendor denies any wrongdoing. And I think the vendor is probably right. The vendor doesn't have the data to cross check. It is delivering the data that it's contracted to deliver to the Department of Elections in New Jersey. That's what it's doing. That is obviously what it's supposed to do. Incredible. We can't even get elections right, especially in these blue states. Look at California. What a. What a complete disaster that is because of all the concoctions that they've created in order to get around voter fraud and basically legalize it. I mean, who counts ballots a week after an election? Who has voter harvesting where third parties can go out and collect ballots from people who didn't vote? How did you vote? And, well, you know, look at this ballot. I found it on the floor. How are you supposed to catch people doing stuff like that? Seriously, it's almost impossible. And these are all set up to accommodate the Democrat Party. That's it. That's it. Because the Democrats are good at this stuff. They always have been. Cook County, Chicago, you had all kinds of shenanigans going there in 1960 you have, you had parts of Texas when the Democrats controlled it. That's how LBJ became a congressman and then a senator. That's how John Kennedy got the election out of Illinois, Cook County. I go on and on. Democrats are good at this stuff. Big cities, are you kidding me? The president on Air Force One flew back the family a fallen hero. Army Lieutenant Tyler Feehan. And the president had, I thought, some emotional comments he was, he made as a result and happen to know if for a fact personally that he's very, very touched when our military personnel are injured or killed. It bothers him enormously, enormously, despite what the media would have you believe with the Democrats or anybody else would have you believe. So here's some of his comments just from a few hours ago.

Go say returned to American soil at Dover and one of the families happened to be traveling to Georgia. Beautiful family, beautiful wife and husband and brother in law. And I said, I'm going to Georgia too. Where are you going? Just well, after this, sir, they lost their beautiful son. We're going to Georgia. I said, so if you want, I'll give you a ride on Air Force One. And they said, wow. So today I then said they're on Air Force One and it's quite nice, I must say. And they said, wow, this is something. Thank you so much. But they're heartbroken, you know, they're heartbroken, but they couldn't believe it. And they live very close to here. They live minutes away and we're here today and I said to them, celebrating the memory of their beautiful. This was a beautiful son. You know, I read when I go to Dover, I read charts on all of the young people and some are unbelievable, some are a little bit, you know, they got a little bit of a little, couple of little bad things put in. This is a son who was like a flawless, perfect person. Beautiful, beautiful son. Handsome in every way, brilliant, respected by everybody. This, his sheet read so beautifully. And I told them that their beloved son, and it's his name was Lieutenant Tyler Feehan. And he was a person that was going all the way. He was going to be a general. He would have been a general very quickly. He was heading in that path. But I just want to thank Tyler's mother Sherry, his father Stephen and his uncle David. Great people. I got to know him a little bit on the plane and standing there watching this site which is, oh, it's very, very tough to, very tough to watch, to be honest with you. Very tough. I think it's the toughest thing I do. If anything, I do. I do all this stuff, but I think it's the toughest thing I do. But to Sherry and Stephen and David, we will carry Tyler's memory and our hearts forever. And I just want to thank you. It's an honor to have you here today. Please.

It's upsetting just listening, isn't it, Rich? You know, here, President Trump reminds me of past presidents. Lincoln, so many casualties during the Civil War. Hundreds of thousands. His own family casualties. Very, very difficult. Very difficult to be with the parents. Excruciating, obviously, for the family, too. So our prayers go out. More reason to destroy this enemy. This enemy has already killed thousands and injured thousands of Americans on the battlefield. In Iraq, in Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, are two African embassies. They've killed and maimed so many Americans. It's time to finish them off. America. It's time to put an end to this so that our children and grandchildren don't have to confront this when you and I are dead and gone. Each generation has an obligation to the next. Parents have an obligation to their children. Grandparents have an obligation to their children and their grandchildren. It's always been the way, one generation protecting the next. That's largely why we go to war, obviously, to protect ourselves. But we're really thinking about the future, aren't we? We don't want our families to live under tyranny. We don't want our families to suffer from war. We don't want our families to suffer from concentration camps. We don't want our family to suffer from starvation. A lack of freedom. And so we fight to the death. What we're doing in Iran is noble. It is righteous to defeat this regime. This regime is not going to go away on its own. It doesn't seek coexistence. It doesn't even seek a cessation of military activity. It seeks our elimination. The people in Iran, they didn't ask for this. The vast majority of them were not involved in any revolution. This was imposed on them. Communism, Islamism, imposed on these people as they're trying to impose it on us. And I don't ever want you to forget those scenes that those young Persian people running for their lives as they're being mowed down with automatic weapons, with tanks, by snipers, as they continue to go around the country to collect young people up, throw them in prison, torture and rape them, and then execute them summarily. Hang them. Hang them. Imagine if it was your child or grandchild. We can't prevent this all over the world, but we can prevent it there. We're there right now. This regime is weaker than it's ever been. Now, if we do not pursue victory, we will not have victory. If we are fighting so we can negotiate the next day, then that is not victory. And if we want victory, we have to do what it takes to get victory. And what it takes at a minimum, is bringing in our allies, the Israelis, the Mossad, the idf, their air force, to fight side by side with us. The Arabs can't do it. The Turks won't do it, and the CIA to work with Mossad to arm these people who want to be armed. And they want retribution for what's happened to them and their families over all these decades. And I don't blame them. They want to take their country back. All they need is a helping hand. And this isn't about us sending 150,000 troops in there. Like the vice President said to Joe Rogan, that is really preposterous. We need to do this. Although I have 20, 30,000 ballistic missiles one day, and they will have nuclear warheads. You can see how persistent they are. They're relentless. They will not be another president. I don't believe it will do what Trump is doing. If the Democrats are in, I can assure you that they will not take steps to protect us. They will appease, they will pacify, they will even fund the enemy, as Biden did and as Obama did. But if we want to prevent any more deaths, civilian and military, we've got to do what we've got to do, and we've got to do it now. It can't be attack, negotiate, attack, negotiate, attack, negotiate. NATO is not going to help us. The Arabs are not going to help us, but the Israelis will help us and the Persian people will help us. You have two peoples here, the Israelis and the Persians. And they are ready, willing and able

And we should make maximum use of these, of these allies if we seek victory.

You know, it's not frequently that we, we hear a floor speech from a member of the House, of the, the Senate that really is compelling, that really grabs you. And yet that's what her. That's what happened today on the floor of the House and the Senate. Senator Tim Shee, a new senator from Montana. As you know, we endorsed him strongly here. But he won because he's a fantastic not just candidate, but individual. He's a combat veteran. His wife is a combat veteran and a successful small businessman. And he decided to run for the Senate because he's deeply concerned about this country, having fought for it, now fighting for it in Washington. I want you to listen to what he has to say in a clip that's a little longer than the clips that we usually play, but still not very long, really, just a few minutes. But I would encourage you to increase the volume wherever you're listening to the program. If you have family members, gather them

because he explains in exquisite detail why we are at war with the Islamo Nazi regime in Tehran. Go.

Yesterday we saw the President of the United States and many others at Dover Air Force Base presiding over a ceremony that is very sacred to those of us who served, and that is a dignified return of remains from the war zone. And that process happens beginning in the war zone, through Dover to the hometown of our fallen heroes. I participated in many of those ceremonies myself to include carrying friends of mine off the plane. One of those is on this bracelet. He was cut in half by an Iranian. This regime that we are fighting does not care about our partisan politics. They don't care who you voted for, who you pray to, or where you live. They want to kill all of us. And they don't just say it. They actually do it. And they've been doing it for 47 years. This is a war of choice. The Democrats are correct. It's a war of choice that was begun by a radical lunatic band of terrorists that took over a beautiful nation 47 years ago. Took it over with brutality, force, and savagery. And the second they took it over, they didn't free their people. They didn't unleash the largest oil reserves in the world to build schools and bridges. They took it over to murder their own people and to spread their disgusting ideology across the world. And that is exactly what they have been doing. They don't just say it and talk about it. You don't have to believe what they say. You can simply watch what they've done. They have attacked families, women, children, innocent people. They don't just attack them and kill them. They rape them. They skin them alive on camera. They celebrate it. They honor those people who do disgusting things that we would put in jail for the rest of their lives in this country. And they do it for fun, and they pay the money to do it. And they're heroes to that nation. They've done it to friends of mine. They've done it to families who've been in this chamber. And the fact that we sit here and listen to elected officials of this country Defend these lunatics who want us all dead. They want all of you dead. They want all of us dead. They don't want us to disappear with the snap of a finger. They want us to be raped, burned alive and cut into pieces. Watch the video from October 7th. That's what they want to happen. From Maine to San Diego, from Seattle to Miami, they want this country turned into a burning husk of his former self. And you don't have to theorize that that's what they do. From the 1983 barracks bombing where 280 Marines were vaporized in the morning, from USS Cole to the Achille Laurel to every terrorist attack from the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas, these are not humanitarian freedom organizations. They are death dealing cults. And they want all of us to die brutal deaths. William Buckley was abducted in 1985. An American military officer, he was skinned alive on camera by the Iranians. American prisoners of war who were captured, they were never called prisoners of war because they were captured by lunatic terrorists. So they were not subject to the Geneva Convention. They were captured and murdered.

Power drills through their brains, this is in Iraq. These are families that have dealt with this and they've never gotten a single dime. These families have never gotten restitution. And not a single president has ever stood up to them. Love Donald Trump or hate him, love his policies, hate ice. Love ice, whatever. There's never been a single president who has stood up to Iran and hit back. For 47 years, our troops and our families have been absorbing attacks after attack after attack all over the world. And their radical ideology does not stop at the Persian Gulf. It doesn't stop at Tel Aviv. They want to do this everywhere. It's a global radical ideology and we've been fighting it for half a century. We didn't start this war. We did not. But we will finish it. And forever wars are not popular with anybody these days. Both sides of that. I love to attack our forever wars. And I can promise you, being someone who overseas wearing the uniform when you're fighting for your country, you don't care what party's in office, but you're fighting to defend your country. And you turn on the news and see your elected officials stabbing you in the back, telling you that you're failing, that you failed every goal of the war is what I just heard. Last time I checked. We've wiped these bastards out. An occasional missile strike and boats in the straits. That's not military strength. Those are the flailings of a failing empire. Those are the flailings of a nation and collapse because they deserve it. So I encourage our colleagues on both sides of the aisle, whatever's politically convenient, whatever plays well on Twitter or Facebook. Think about the people who are deployed right now, standing on that wall with a loaded weapon, who volunteered to defend our country and our way of life because they are there defending us in a just war because we did not start a war with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. They started with us 47 years ago, and their attacks have gone unanswered for half a century. It's time to fix this problem and make sure another generation of Americans does not have to fight this murderous, savage adversary.

I have nothing to add to the genius of what Senator Shahy just did, the articulation and the explanation of what we believe and what we've been saying now for some time. Nobody has done it better. Nobody. And he's speaking from the brain. He's speaking from the soul. He's speaking from the heart. He's speaking from experience. He knows what we're dealing with. William Buckley was a CIA operative who was kidnapped in Lebanon by Hezbollah. And they tortured him and they starved him, and in the end, they skinned him alive, as he says on video. He's talking about also the Iranians and also the Iraqi militia tied to the Iranian regime killing our soldiers in Iraq when they captured them with drills, drills to the head, into the brain. He talked about October 7th, and he obviously watched some of that video, if not all of it, 40 some minutes about how these young people were literally tortured in unspeakable ways, their bodies mutilated while they were alive. The raping of the young women and the boys that were there, gang raping, videotaping, burning alive, cutting off genitalia

the Kiputzim, raping the mothers and the daughters in front of the children and the fathers, murdering them, tying the babies together, burning them alive. Just really, truly unspeakable things. The Israeli IEF is tracking them down one by one. Every day we see one or more killed in Gaza. One by one, they will track down all 6,000 of them. And they're doing it as I speak. When you hear the attacks on our country and our president taking on this evil subhuman terrorism and the prime minister of Israel and the IDF and his people are fighting like warriors, not like NATO, not like the Arabs, especially when we do it shoulder to shoulder, it is something to behold. It is something to celebrate. To celebrate isolationism is exactly what our response was to Iran for 47 years, and we lost thousands of fellow Americans. Many were maimed, but now they were close to getting a nuclear weapon. And this president said, no, we can't do that. Donald Trump would rather do anything, anything than lead a war effort, needed to lead a war effort. And he did the right thing and he deserves our support. Our military deserves our support. Israeli Prime Minister and their military deserve our support. They're the best allies we have, and they fight like no others. Britain, France, Canada, Australia. What a joke. What a joke.
