00:00Now on Iran and the NDAA.
00:04The American people need to know, of course, how and why this chaos is spreading through
00:09their streets, and we need a complete investigation that's independent.
00:15Now on Iran and the NDAA.
00:18When all the Trump administration can say about his disastrous war with Iran is that
00:24Vietnam was worse?
00:26A point Trump made yesterday, he reveals the scale of his failure.
00:30This is what Donald Trump said.
00:34The only thing he can say is Vietnam was worse.
00:37Oh my God.
00:39A war that killed close to 50,000 Americans.
00:42A war that lasted almost a decade.
00:45A war that ripped America apart in ways that took decades to recover.
00:52That's what he compares Iran to?
00:55Oh.
00:55My.
00:56God.
00:58Trump's supposed ceasefire deal has completely collapsed.
01:01Our troops are coming under attack.
01:04The Strait of Hormuz is a minefield.
01:07Gas prices are going back up.
01:10And Donald Trump is totally out of his depth.
01:14In fact, Donald Trump is drowning in the Strait of Hormuz because he has no plan.
01:22He had no plan when he got America into this war and he has no plan on how to get
01:26us out.
01:27Trump started the war without authorization, without a strategy, without an exit.
01:33The reason that we have the War Powers Act is to force an administration to think through the consequences of
01:41going to war ahead of time.
01:44Trump, of course, didn't listen.
01:48Finally, after weeks, bipartisan majorities in both chambers of commerce voted to end it.
01:53We had tried and tried.
01:54Finally, enough Republicans joined us, but Donald Trump ignored them.
02:00So now the White House has formally notified Congress that hostilities have resumed, that American strikes are underway again, and
02:08our forces remain positioned for more.
02:10Yet Republicans want the Senate to take up the NDAA, the defense bill, as though none of this is happening.
02:20As though Congress can debate the nation's central national security bill while ignoring the nation's most urgent national security crisis.
