“He was the youngest Marine hostage held by the Iranians for 444 days in 1979. And we've never made peace with Iran. They're [Iran] responsible for the bombing of the Marine Corps barracks.

They're responsible for funding Hamas and Hezbollah to commit these horrible terrorist attacks.” (02:24–02:28)
