Jim Banks (R-Ind.): \u201cAt the end of the day, what President Trump and the U.S. Military are doing to push back, clear the strait. It\u2019s significant. It\u2019s working. The blockade, the economic measures are effective\u2014our military actions, what we have done to wipe out the defense industrial base in Iran. We have eliminated 85 % of the ballistic missiles in Iran. We have put all of these proxy groups on notice: Hamas, Hezbollah, even Somali Pirates; we are not going to let you get away with it anymore. These terrorist groups and the regime in Iran have been used to for 47 years of getting away with it, and President Trump has said you are not going to get away with it anymore\u2026 President Trump\u2019s legacy is going to be that he brought peace to the Middle East and to the whole wide world by preventing Iran from ever having a nuclear weapon. We should all be grateful and proud of that.\u201d\n\nKey Excerpts on Economic Warfare:\n\n\u201cThese Economic D-Day sanctions and this approach is not just targeted at Iran but any actor that would try to help or assist them too. Then back that up with the actions of our U.S. military. What President Trump has done has brought Iran to its knees. It\u2019s only a matter of time before they come back and beg for a deal, and when that happens, gas prices in America are going to plummet, and our economy is going to benefit from it. Most importantly, Iran will never have a nuclear weapon pointed at America to endanger our kids and our grandkids.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-08-22T05:24:59Z", "2026-08-22T05:26:16Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.banks.senate.gov/news/press-releases/icymi-sen-banks-joins-kudlow-on-fox-business-network-2/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.381949918344617, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
