President Donald Trump held a rally in Des Moines, Iowa, on Thursday to celebrate the passage of the “Big, Beautiful Bill.” Trump plans to hold an Independence Day signing ceremony with F-22s and B-2 bombers flying overhead.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: A lot of them are on their way out, however. Iran’s nuclear enrichment has been obliterated. Remember when CNN said, it wasn’t obliterated. It was maybe damaged or damaged badly, but obliterated is too strong a word. No, it was obliterated. That’s now been proven, the Atomic Energy Commission’s everything that’s been obliterated. And they were trying to demean me by saying that, but they were really demeaning those great pilots and people and mechanics that got those planes over there and were able to shoot from high up in the air going very, very fast with potentially a lot of things being shot at them and hit every single one, every single, they’re trying to demean me. But to me, they were demeaning them. And they got out of the plane and they said, what the hell? We hit every single target. They know better than anybody. But now that’s been proven. It’s CNN fake news and scammers that work for them, scam writers that work for them. But we understand it and we fight it back. And a lot of people said, sure, don’t, don’t criticize it because they’re beneath you. No, they’re not beneath me. Nobody’s beneath. You got to put it. Otherwise, people don’t understand. If you don’t say something about it, you got to say it. These people did one of the greatest military hits and maneuvers in the history of our country. And I want them to be appreciated for it. So they’re coming. They’re coming to the White House tomorrow night. And I’m signing the bill with the Speaker of the House. And by the way, Mike Johnson did a great job. John Thune did a great job to everybody. This was this whole two weeks has been incredible, hasn’t it? You know, when you think of all of the victories, we stop five nations from going to war and somebody else will get the Nobel Peace Prize for their writing about Donald Trump. A professor at some school that you’ve never heard of has received the Nobel Prize for his writing about Donald Trump and what Donald Trump did. I say, what about me? I don’t get it. But that’s one of those things. But think of it. We stopped. We stopped India and Pakistan. We stopped Kosovo and Serbia. They’ve been fighting for a long time. And a lot of it was trade. I said, you’re not going to trade with us if you’re going to go to war. And India, Pakistan was big, very big for a different reason. I mean, they have little things called nuclear weapons. You would have had pretty soon a nuclear war. We stopped that in Africa. You look at what was going on in the Congo with Rwanda. That war was going on for 30 years, 30 years. And we stopped it. And it was vicious. Six million people killed. And it was a bad one. It was killed and killed badly. Machetes, a machete. You know what a machete is? You don’t want to know. And we just did a really great job. And then, of course, you cap it off with the hit, the perfect hit in Iran, where they were talking awfully badly, you know, death to America, death to Israel. They were talking awfully badly. And they’re not talking badly anymore, to be honest with you. And we might even meet with them and see if they want to meet. They want to meet. And we’ll see if we can do something. But they want to meet. I think they want to meet very badly.
