## Transcript

Its deplorable what he said, that's what I called it from the floor of the Senate seven months ago. It will be deplorable seven months from now if he says it again, and I will continue to speak out. Because there's one thing that we've gotta do. You may not like immigration, you may not like this, you may not like that. You may be a Republican, you may be a Democrat, we're all American. There are Democratic casualties, and Republican casualties, on the battlefield there are American casualties. And we should never reduce the service that people give to this country [ UNKNOWN ] the offering of their own life.

[ UNKNOWN ] anything but political fodder in Washington, DC, or anywhere else, for that matter.
