Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-MT) delivers an incredibly powerful speech about Iran.
Watch every second of this.
"Yesterday we saw the president of the United States and many others at Dover Air Force Base presiding over a ceremony that is very sacred to those of us who served, and that is a dignified return of remains from the war zone.
That process happens beginning in the war zone through Dover to the hometown of our fallen heroes. I participated in many of those ceremonies myself to include carrying friends of mine off the plane.
One of those is on this bracelet. He was cut in half by an Iranian EFP.
This regime that we are fighting does not care about our partisan politics. They don't care who you voted for, who you pray to, or where you live. They want to kill all of us. And they don't just say it, they actually do it, and they've been doing it for forty-seven years.
This is a war of choice. The Democrats are correct. It's a war of choice that was begun by a radical lunatic band of terrorists that took over a beautiful nation 47 years ago, took it over with brutality, force, and savagery. And the second they took it over, they didn't free their people, they didn't unleash the largest oil reserves in the world to build schools and bridges.
They took it over to murder their own people and to spread their disgusting ideology across the world, and that is exactly what they have been doing. They don't just say it and talk about it. You don't have to believe what they say. You can simply watch what they've done.
They have attacked families, women, children, innocent people. They don't just attack them and kill them, they rape them. They skin them alive on camera. They celebrate it. They honor those people who do disgusting things that we would put in jail for the rest of their lives in this country, and they do it for fun, and they pay them money to do it, and they're heroes to that nation.
They've done it to friends of mine. They've done it to families who've been in this chamber. And the fact that we sit here and listen to elected officials of this country defend these lunatics who want us all dead. They want all of you dead. They want all of us dead.
They don't want us to disappear with a snap of a finger. They want us to be raped, burned alive, and cut into pieces. Watch the video from October 7. That's what they want to happen from Maine to San Diego, from Seattle to Miami. They want this country turned into a burning husk of its former self, and you don't have to theorize that.
That's what they do. From the 1983 barracks bombing, where 280 Marines were vaporized in a morning, from USS Cole to the Achille Lauro, to every terrorist attack, from the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas. These are not humanitarian freedom organizations. They are death-dealing cults, and they want all of us to die brutal deaths.
William Buckley was abducted in 1985, an American military officer. He was skinned alive on camera by the Iranians. American prisoners of war who were captured. They were never called prisoners of war because they were captured by lunatic terrorists, so they were not subject to the Geneva Convention. They were captured and murdered, power drills through their brains. This is in Iraq. These are families that have dealt with this, and they've never gotten a single dime.
These families have never gotten restitution, and not a single president has ever stood up to them. Love Donald Trump or hate him, love his policies, hate ICE, love ICE, whatever. There's never been a single president who has stood up to Iran and hit back. For 47 years, our troops and our families have been absorbing attack after attack after attack all over the world.
And their radical ideology does not stop at the Persian Gulf. It doesn't stop at Tel Aviv. They want to do this everywhere. It's a global radical ideology, and we've been fighting it for half a century.
We didn't start this war. We did not, but we will finish it. And forever wars are not popular with anybody these days. Both sides of the love to attack our forever wars. And I can promise you, being someone overseas wearing the uniform, when you're fighting for your country, you don't care what party's in office, but you're fighting to defend your country, and you turn on the news and see your elected officials stabbing you in the back, telling you that you're failing, that you've failed every goal of the war, is what I just heard.
Last time I checked, we've wiped these bastards out. An occasional missile strike and boats in the straits, that's not military strength. Those are the flailings of a failing empire. Those are the flailings of a nation in collapse because they deserve it. So I encourage our colleagues on both sides of the aisle, whatever's politically convenient, whatever plays well on Twitter or Facebook, think about the people who are deployed right now, standing on that wall with a loaded weapon, who have volunteered to defend our country and our way of life.
Because they are there defending us in a just war, because we did not start a war with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. They started it with us 47 years ago, and their attacks have gone unanswered for half a century. It's time to fix this problem and make sure another generations of Americans does not have to fight this murderous, savage adversary."
For 47 years, American families and brave warfighters - including friends of mine - have been asked to absorb brutal attack after brutal attack by an evil Iranian regime who wants all of us dead.
President Trump is the only president in my lifetime who refuses to kick this problem to another generation of American soldiers. There can be no equivocation with these murderous lunatics. It’s time to finish the job.
Crazy conspiracies about Israeli control of America’s military have no place in a debate about our national defense.
Section 1217 strengthens our military, deepens cooperation with one of our closest allies, and ensures our troops have the best technology on the battlefield.
This victory was a team effort, but NRSC GC Ryan Dollar deserves special recognition. He had the courage to take on the fight, vision to see it through, and the persistence to push until SCOTUS vindicated the 1st Amendment. I couldn’t be prouder of what he accomplished.
We need hulls in the water as soon as possible. I am less concerned where they are built vice when they are built.
But if we want ships made in America in the next decade, we have to start today. China lays keels 230 times faster than we do. Time to catch up.
In 2020 Keisha fired @Atlanta_Police officers who’d been directed to enforce the curfew she imposed as rioters destroyed ATL. She treated them like criminals and took full advantage of the publicity.
They were ultimately cleared of wrongdoing and got their jobs back.
@Georgia_AG Special Prosecutor: “It became abundantly clear . . . that these officers acted within their lawful scope and their actions were not criminal.”
Those officers tried to sue her for wrecking their lives, but she was immune. #TeamKeisha
On Friday, Patricia and I drove to Gainesville to join Martha Zoller for what would be her final radio show. We didn’t know it at the time, of course, and Martha wouldn’t let us even think about using the word “retire.”
She said she was taking a step back, and wanted one last on-air conversation about Georgia politics.
We swapped campaign trail stories, laughed about the characters and twists that make this state endlessly fascinating, and celebrated Martha for what she was: a sharp analyst, a savvy commentator who forged relationships with leaders from across the political spectrum, a generous mentor and a rare bridge-builder in a divided world.
After the show, we walked around the corner for a bite to eat and talked about what was next. Martha was excited for this new chapter. She spoke about her plans to spend more time with her husband and family, her deep love of her Gainesville community and, of course, how Georgia politics could still surprise her after all these years.
Then we said goodbye.
We didn’t know it would be the last time we would see her. We simply told her what was true: that it had been a pleasure and an honor to call her a friend.
Rest in peace, Martha. You will be forever missed.
If you’re looking for a U.S. Senator who understands the real nature of the Iranian regime and the way forward for the United States, this is a must-watch interview.
Simply put Senator @TimSheehyMT nailed it when he said the goal of the Iranian theocracy is to create a master religion for the world. As Senator Sheehy said, this isn’t what he thinks, it’s what Iran believes and they are acting on those beliefs every day.
Tim is a former Navy Seal and knows the dynamics in the region as well as anyone I’ve ever met. Great interview. Very much worth watching.
For decades, radical DAs and judges funded by Soros and left-wing dark money have created a soft-on-crime justice system that releases savage criminals on our streets over and over again.
It’s time to hold them accountable and pass the JAIL Act.
Iryna Zarutska, Logan Federico, Stephanie Minter – all lives lost to violent criminals who should have never been on our streets. Enough.
The JAIL Act holds radical, soft-on-crime judges accountable and delivers justice for victims and their loved ones. Let’s get it done.
Julia Letlow is a strong conservative leader who understands what it means to fight for the people she represents. She will be a powerful ally for President Trump and a relentless advocate for the America First agenda in the United States Senate. I’m proud to endorse @jbletlow for Senate.
Exactly right @TimSheehyMT.
That’s why we must pass @SenJohnKennedy’s No Shutdown Paychecks for Politicians Act.
Members of Congress taking a paycheck while hardworking Americans suffer is unconscionable.
This week I will introduce and seek unanimous consent for legislation providing express approval for construction of a Presidential ballroom.
It is an embarrassment to the strongest nation on earth that we cannot host gatherings in our nation’s capital, including ones attended by our President, without the threat of violence and attempted assassinations.
There is no place for political violence in America. Unfortunately, it seems, too many people believe trying to kill our President and members of our government is acceptable.
A President of any party should be able to host events in a secure area without attendees worrying about their safety.
This is common sense. Let’s get it done.
Tax Day sucks. This year it sucks a little less thanks to the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, which is letting Montanans keep more of their hard-earned paychecks.
