Sen. Ted Cruz

to experience a world where the Ayatollah has a warhead and his only problem is, how do I get this to America to detonate?

And look, I appreciate that this question, you know... And I'll point out, London could be another target.

I think he would have rather murdered Americans than the British, but London...

London is certainly another target you could envision him striking.

So I don't think that's right.

And I will say, look, there's a reason the Ayatollah referred to Israel as the little Satan and America as the great Satan.

As I said, when he would lead mobs chanting death to America, I believed him.

I don't think it was empty rhetoric.

I think he believed it with all of his heart and his whole life.

He had been carrying it out.

He had been murdering Americans.

So we knew it was an empty rhetoric.

He murdered every American he could and every chance he could.

And listen, there are some if you look at the Biden administration, their approach, they dealt with every foreign conflict.

with weakness and appeasement.

And those on the left think, well, that's how you avoid war.

Well, it's amazing.

When Joe Biden came into office, there was peace and prosperity across the globe.

And we had two military conflicts break out simultaneously.

Russia invaded Ukraine, and we had October 7th and the Gaza war that unfolded.
