Tommy, would you like to tee off on this one?

Yeah, I just my message to Democrats is if you oppose the war in Iran, you have to oppose funding.

And if you try to split the baby, you look like you either believe in nothing or you are too cowardly to vote your conscience.

Because, first of all, the Pentagon's 2026 budget is nearly a trillion dollars.

they don't need more money they're good they're good also this is second like this is not the iraq war fights from 2004 to 2007 where you had democrats who voted for the war then trying to argue that they're going to vote against supplemental right i can understand that was tough politics it's also not a situation where you have you know a bunch of marines at a ford base in iran on the ground who might not get an mrap if we don't vote for this funding this is we're talking about a military campaign built on lies with no clear strategy or objectives

that Trump, as we just heard, could end like that, right?

And so if you vote to give more money to Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth to extend this war, I think you should have your fucking head examined.

It's like, you are an idiot.

And it's also bad politics.

Like Americans already don't support the war.

There's a new poll today, 53% opposed to the war, 74% opposed sending ground troops into Iran.

This was the number that really jumped out at me.

77% of voters were

Think it's very or somewhat likely there will be a terrorist attack on U.S.

soil in response to the Iran war.

Those numbers are not going to get better as this thing drags on.

Oppose the war on the merits and vote against funding.

Do not try to do both.

You look ridiculous.

Yeah.
