Thank you.

Great to be here.

People are furious because he has plunged the nation recklessly into war, despite one of the core promises of his candidacy being that he would extract the nation from those kinds of foreign entanglements and avoid unnecessary war.

And he clearly did so, A, on false pretenses.

Remember that it was last year administration officials, including Secretary Pete Hegseth, were claiming that their airstrikes had, and this was Hegseth's quote, obliterated Iran's ability to create a nuclear weapon.

That was last year.

And then earlier this year, the White House was putting out statements claiming there was an imminent nuclear threat, even though we know, based on public testimony from Tulsi Gabbard, that U.S.

intelligence had not found that Iran was moving back

toward the creation of a nuclear weapon.

So we entered this war on false pretenses.

Sound familiar?

Not the first time the United States has been dragged into a quagmire in the Middle East on false pretenses about weapons of mass destruction.

And now we've seen, from the very moment the war began,

that the president, the secretary of defense, have lied and lied and lied about the progress of the war, about the duration of the war, and about the purpose of the war.

And meanwhile, my constituents are paying more for everything.

And it's not just gas, because this energy crisis in the Middle East is driving up prices across the board.

I think that the culture of this administration is that arrogance and deceit are virtues.

And it has so damaged their credibility.

Because you heard the president's own supporters talking to your reporter, right?

Out in the real world, people have heard from day one, the administration claiming that the war was just about won, just a few days longer, just a few days longer, declarations of victory, the objectives constantly a moving target.
