Batia Ungar Sargan

Thank you so much for having me.

It's really an honor to be here with you.

I'm smiling because I didn't find out in the morning.

I didn't find out until the afternoon because it was Shabbat.

And so we were logged off and the rabbi happened to mention it in Shul.

We barely believed it.

And then, of course, logging on after Shabbat at 630 p.m.

and finding out that the Ayatollah was dead.

Jubilation.

That man wanted every American dead.

The idea that he was not an enemy of the United States is ridiculous.

I don't understand what people think they wanted the nuclear weapon for.

They opposed the West with every fiber of their being.

They opposed the idea of freedom with every fiber of their being.

And so the world is a much safer place.

Our grandchildren are

are going to be much safer because of the brave action that the president took.

And of course, I understand people who voted for him because he said no new wars.

I'm one of those people.

But the idea that this is anything like Iraq is just ridiculous.
