This is Congressman ██████████. Command, stay on the line and you'll be connected to a live toll free telephone tone hall meeting and currently holding for residents of Columbia and Dodge counties. To join in on this live town hall meeting where you can talk to me in person. Stay on the line. If you can't stand the line but you'd like to get in touch with me, call my office at ████████████. We'll be with you shortly. Please hold while we connect you to your Access Live event. This Access Live event is currently in progress. Please note that this call may be monitored, recorded or rebroadcast. When any member of law enforcement has to take someone's life. I think we'll see as they work their way through the court system what happens there, whether people feel they were guilty of a crime or whether it was a judgment call. I'm sure just like with other law enforcement, they are trying at all times. To do more training so citizens don't have to unnecessarily die. But I think in both cases, the members of ICE felt that it was an appropriate thing to do. And like I said, we'll eventually see what the judicial system thinks about that. But thanks a lot for calling. Ask you where you're from Big County. I think we lost ████████ off the line. Okay, we'll go for the next one. Okay, great. And as a reminder to everyone who just joined Press Star three Now, and you can ask Congressman █████████████ your question. And we're taking questions from both sides of the aisle. Our next one comes from █████ in ████████. █████. Hi. I would like to know why we are spending billions of dollars daily in this illegal war. It's not even legal. And people here are struggling. The farmers cannot even put their crops in the ground because they need oil. And everything was fine with █████. And it seems like all you guys do is always blame all you Republicans blame. The █████ and █████ administration, but. █████ was in there before, and all he did was create chaos. And he continues to create chaos. And obviously you must know that he is very, very sick in the head. Well, I think what's going on is this. Iran has made it clear that they intend to get a nuclear weapon in the near future. They've also made it clear they want to do great hiring to Israel and great harm to the United States. Now, if you know that. And if you know they have enough uranium to make nine to eleven bombs. You can either wait for that to happen. And you can wait as many more missiles are being manufactured and shot at at ██████ or other countries. In that part of the world. Or you can act before they have a nuclear weapon and before that many missiles land in ██████. And of course, the more missiles you have, the more difficult it is for the defenses of ██████, of █████, of uae, whatever, to knock down those missiles. I think it was a very difficult decision by President █████. But I think he made the decision that he felt would be the best in the long run rather than just dealing in the short run. And I will tell you, I was in a private briefing. With the top members of the █████ administration. Of State, CIA. And they laid out the reasons why they felt the United States had to go to war here. And I will tell you, not a majority, but in that insignificant number of Democrat congressmen in the room, Were applauding very emotionally that we were finally dealing with Iran, which has been a problem for this country.
