And, you know, we've got a state like Iowa where we are dead last for economic growth.

One of two states already in an economic decline.

We're closing hospitals and schools, dead last for, you know, road quality.

We could use that billion dollars a day in a state like Iowa as opposed to another unnecessary forever conflict.

We cut a trillion dollars with the Big Beautiful Bill to people's health care.

110,000 Iowans lose their health care benefits.

Thousands more lose their

food assistance we don't have money for the aca subsidies to continue which is another 117 000 iowans looking at premiums doubling or tripling we've closed in the last 15 years in iowa 250 more medical clinics than we've opened and so we're closing nursing homes and skilled nursing facilities and rural hospitals all over the state but we have money for an unnecessary war in iran

It's just such a disconnect and it's not America first.

I mean, unfortunately, I've dealt with bullies my whole life and we've got a bully in the Oval Office.

And I think my message would be to any disabled person out there, any disabled kids is don't let what anyone says to you, including the president of the United States, prevent you from living your best life.

or being able to live your dream.

And you can look at someone like me.

I grew up poor.

I grew up disabled, 21 surgeries.

I feel like I am the American dream.

But I have the American dream because of something like the American with Disabilities Act, the father of the American with Disabilities Act, Senator Tom Harkin from Iowa.

And don't let that define you.
