Key Excerpts:
Sen. Banks on Vetting Afghanistan Nationals: “When Biden pulled out of Afghanistan disastrously, what happened there was a shameful moment in American history on Joe Biden’s watch… Even worse now is finding out that Joe Biden and his administration allowed terrorists to come into our country. Three notable arrests, including the tragic killing terrorist act in Washington, D.C. a week ago. I think we’re going to find out, sadly, a lot more cases, a lot more ties to ISIS -K and terrorist groups abroad, all on Joe Biden’s watch… the blame falls at his feet for what he allowed to happen.”

“President Trump is serious about vetting these Afghan nationals. Tens of thousands of them we don’t even know their first names, their last names, their birth dates. They were never properly vetted in the first place. And now it’s time to make up for that mistake. And that’s what President Trump is doing.”
Sen. Banks on Secretary Hegseth’s Narco-terrorist Strikes: “We want to learn the truth. And the more that we learn the truth, the more we realize that President Trump and Secretary of War Hegseth are doing exactly what the American people elected them to do. And that’s to protect America from narco-terrorists who are flooding our country with poisonous drugs. Over 70 % of Americans support President Trump striking these drug boats… Admiral Bradley did exactly what he was supposed to do to prevent these drug coming into our country. This was an active operation.”

“The fact of the matter is under Joe Biden, the open borders, the poisonous drugs flowing into our country killed over 100,000 Americans a year that’s more every year than who, than those Americans who died in the war in Vietnam. And now President Trump is the first president that we’ve had in 40 years, who’s been serious about fighting the war on drugs, and he’s taking on the drug cartels exactly as we expect him to do. So the truth confirms that President Trump and Secretary Hegseth are executing the operation exactly as the American people elected them and expect them to do.”
