They have to raise their taxes.

But they should pay for it.

It'll just open up naturally.

And we could lower our taxes a little bit to them to make up for it.

But it's not possible for us to take care of daycare.

Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things, they can do it on a state basis.

You can't do it on a federal.

We have to take care of one thing, military protection.

Brilliance of the United States military.

Tonight, every American can look forward to a day when we are finally free from the wickedness of Iranian aggression and the specter of nuclear black belt.

Because of the actions we have taken, we are.

My first preference was always the path of diplomacy, yet the regime continued their relentless quest for nuclear weapons and rejected every attempt at an agreement.

For this reason, in June, I ordered a strike on Iran's key nuclear facilities, an Operation Midnight Hammer.

Nobody's ever seen anything like it.

Those beautiful B-2 bombers performed magnificently.

We totally obliterated those nuclear sites.

The regime then sought to rebuild their nuclear program at a totally different location, making clear they had no intention of abandoning their pursuit of nuclear weapons.

They were also rapidly building a vast stockpile of conventional ballistic missiles and would soon have had missiles that could reach the American homeland, Europe, and virtually any other place on Earth.

Iran's strategy was so obvious.

They wanted to produce as many missiles as possible, and they did, with the longest range possible.
