I took the first delegation, bipartisan, to Libya in 25 years to support George Bush when he said that Qaddafi wanted to give up his weapons. I took three Democrats and two other Republicans. And the White House tried to stop me. I was going to visit the troops in Iraq, but we got a plane and we went to Tripoli for two days. Our meeting with Qaddafi was always at the end.

I met with him three times. But on that first trip, they took us out to this man-made reservoir where Qaddafi had built this water system of pure water for the people in the desert. That's me. I was printing an American flag on him after I gave the speech to the entire country. Joe Biden came with me on that trip. He was with me. With me. It wasn't his trip. It was my trip.

So they showed us this man-made water system. And I said, the pipe was like 14 feet high. I said, how did you build that pipe? You've been under sanctions for 25 years. Oh, Congressman, we didn't build that pipe. Well, who did you buy it from? You've been under sanctions by the U.S. and Europe for at least the last two decades. Did you buy it from Russia? No. Did you buy it from China? No.

Well, who did you buy it from? We bought it from a company called Halliburton. You understand what I'm saying? They bought it from Halliburton while they were under sanctions by the U.S. and while Dick Cheney was a leader of Halliburton. I served with Dick Cheney in the House.

Well, all I'm telling you is I'm disgusted with what I found out about Dick Cheney by now. And for him to come out and say anything about Donald Trump is an absolute disgusting joke. Look at all the money he has. And his daughter ought to go out and talk about that. Just like he canceled the V-22 for the Marine Corps. I led the fight to save that platform, which is why I was so close.

Because Al Gray came to me, the commandant of the Marine Corps. And General Jim Jones had me flying the first V-22 with him when we delivered to the Pentagon because I was the leader to save it, along with Carl Levin from Illinois, a Democrat. These people that make money behind the scenes off of decisions that kill U.S. troops and kill U.S. firefighters are disgusting.

And somebody's got to stand up and say enough's enough. Let's take back control of our country. And again, I'm not saying a blanket thing about all intel. I'm saying it about the people who are out for themselves.

What I know happened on 9-11 was we could have prevented it. And number two, what happened, I work very closely with the architects and engineers. You've had them on. Yes. I work closely with the families of 9-11. I work closely with the firefighters.

Takes his unit to the first building. He climbs. He gets in an elevator. He's got all his equipment on, 40 pounds of gear with his team. They go up 40 floors in an elevator while the planes have already hit. He gets off the elevator, and you hear him say in the microphone, we're on the 40th floor. Everything's okay. We're going to walk up. He's on the 50th floor. It's okay. We're going up higher.
