OK.

Let me ask you, though, because the war is underway.

You have argued, and I'll put this quote, we need to end this war right now.

If the US ends the war right now, as you're arguing for, could that leave Iran with a more extreme anti-American regime and even lead to a potentially larger conflict for the next administration?

Just to be very clear, you are a no on any funding request.

Let's start with Iran.

The Pentagon, as I was just discussing with the Treasury Secretary, is planning to ask Congress for more than $200 billion in additional funding for the war.

Most Democrats have vowed that they're not going to approve this funding request.

But by opposing this request, are you risking potentially leaving American forces vulnerable?

But we must remember in a time such as this, we are not the crazy ones, New York City.

We are not the outlandish ones, New York City.

Why is the president setting trade policy based on a television ad he doesn't like?

Will the 10% tariffs apply to all Canadian goods, Mr. Secretary?

Does the president know if the tariffs will apply to, 10% tariffs will apply to all Canadian goods?

Has he made a determination about that?

Here, play this clip. You served this country for so many decades. What happened that made you say, I can't take it?

And to be clear, you are a career diplomat. So that means you serve regardless of who is the president of the United States and what party they come from. And in fact, when you tried to leave post in January, Secretary Rubio asked you to stay on in Kyiv, as I understand it. You were there for a number of months until April. What specifically with this policy is a problem for you?
