Senate were it not for the Club for Growth making a big gamble on me. They know how to pick winners. And by the way, when the club got behind me 13 years ago when I first ran, I was literally at 2% in the polls. You had to be out of your ever-loving minds to be backing me. The last job I had been elected to was student council. And the club leaned in in a big way and shocked every observer.

And they play cycle after cycle fighting to elect strong free market principled conservatives. And so I've been to the Club for Growth conference many, many times. There are extraordinary patriots here. And so I just want to say thank you to the men and women here for your leadership standing up and fighting to save our nation.

What I will tell you is that President Zelensky showed up in the Oval Office and decided he was there to battle Donald Trump, decided he was there to insult Donald Trump, decided he was there to attack and belittle Donald Trump.

And without exaggeration, I believe this will go down as the most disastrous Oval Office meeting in the history of our nation. Wow. Zelensky had one job.

And he apparently decided that he knew better than everyone else and that President Trump should be kissing his ass. Now, I got to say, look, for any president, You go back from George Washington to Ronald Reagan to George W.
