Senator Warner, thank you so much for your time.

I want to start by playing a new video statement.

that the president published today.

So the president speaks of this war as duty and burden.

What is your reaction to that, Senator?

President Trump said in this statement, quote, sadly, there will likely be more referring to U.S.

casualties.

What do you make of that?

Yes.

What do you... If the Iranian people rise up right now and the Iranian regime brutally murders them... If they were to rise up, if the Iranian people were to rise up, would that change your assessment of the situation?

Let's talk about the options that Congress has.

Your fellow Virginia Senator Tim Kaine is one of those pushing a war powers resolution.

The Constitution gives the Congress power to declare war, which it hasn't given for any of Trump's use of force.

Those efforts have not yet passed and not all Democrats are publicly on board.

Are there any indications this time could be different?

Who you met today in Hampton Roads.

Who I met today.

Who are very concerned.

Senator Warner, with the 30 seconds we have left, as a member of the Gang of Eight, who's a bipartisan group that's privileged to information, based on the intelligence you have, how does this now play out?

Senator Mark Warner of Virginia, thank you so much.
