00:10Madam President, for years, Trump promised to put maximum pressure on Iran, but he ended
00:18up delivering maximum confusion, maximum chaos, maximum cost to the American people with his
00:26disastrous war. Every second this war continues, the costs to the American people go up, and
00:34this is the tenth time Democrats have forced Republicans to vote on a War Powers Resolution
00:39to end the war. Time after time, the vast majority of Senate Republicans sided with Trump and
00:46his war instead of the American people. The American people have paid the price for Trump's
00:54historic blunder in Iran. It'll go down in the history books as one of the worst foreign
00:59policy forays America has ever made, or any country has ever made. It is so, so ridiculous,
01:08costly, with no goals, achieving no goals that Trump set forward, or virtually none. Trump,
01:16Vance, Rubio refused to come before the American public and answer questions. No one knows what
01:21side deals there are. No one knows what actually was said. No one knows the details of this so-called
01:30understanding. And the reason is they're probably afraid to show it, because they know how badly
01:36they have done. Trump won't brief Congress. Trump won't defend his deal. Trump won't end his war.
01:43But Democrats will keep forcing this vote, and we're going to keep doing it, because only Congress
01:49has the power to take this nation to war, and this one must end. In fact, Trump never, ever should
01:56have started.
