Tensions between Israel and Iran have been increasing over the past few days, and innocent people have already been injured and killed. Tonight we are on the cusp of all out war. China has ordered all of their citizens to leave Israel and President Trump has urged Iranians to evacuate Tehran. There have also been reports of China delivering military equipment to Iran. If all out war happens then millions of innocent men, women and children will lose their lives. This is not a time for party political speeches. This is not a time to say "Ah, but....". This is a time to do two things. Firstly, if you are a person of prayer, you need to drop to your knees and pray to God for peace, and for protection of the innocent in Iran and Israel. Secondly you need to out pressure on the President to exercise the powers of persuasion that he has claimed so many time to have. This is not time for a "deal". This is time for a strong leader to lead. This is time for the President to use the influence he has over Russia, China and Israel to stop this war from escalating. It's time to put aside political differences and slogans and get busy leading a quick path to peace. I know that the President and yourself are fond of the phrase "America First". But tonight you and he need to realize that if this war escalates and Iran and their allies start attacking America then there may not be much left of America to be "first".
