Click the image above for full discussion. Key Excerpts: Sen. Jim Banks (R-Ind.): “President Trump has put them on notice, if you don’t keep up your end of the deal, we will continue to bomb you and hold you accountable. They understand that with President Trump they are dealing with a tough American leader who keeps his word. That type of accountability is …” “If you back up diplomacy with tough military action, then there is no reason why thus can’t be effective. I fully trust President Trump to continue to try to come to a peace agreement, but the peace agreement has to include those 4 variables. Iran can’t have a nuclear weapon, they have to give up the nuclear dust, they can’t continue to funnel money to their terrorist proxy groups, and they have to open up the strait. If they can’t keep up their end of the bargain, then there will be real consequences…” “We have to invest in munitions. Indiana plays a big role in that. We’re the crossroads of America, and we’re also the crossroads of the defense industrial base. We’re going to build a lot of those stockpile munitions and weapons to equip our troops, but it’s going to take an investment; the 80 billion is very important to do that…” “I’m fully on board with whatever it takes to pass the SAVE America Act, but we need to pass it. We need to show our voters we’re fighting for it. At the end of the day, democrats are the ones who are blocking it. Every single democrat is blocking the SAVE America Act. It’s fundamental, it’s common sense, it’s 80% popular with the American people” ###
