Congressman Ritchie Torres (D-NY), one of Israel's most vocal Democratic defenders in Congress, joined The Guy Benson Show today to explain why he supports Israel's preemptive strikes against Iran, where Torres says that the strikes are in the best interest of the United States and the free world. Torres emphasized Iran's bloody history against Americans and warned against allowing the world's top state sponsor of terrorism to go nuclear.
