These are the leaders of the Democratic Party in Congress.

So them not supporting the Democratic nominee for mayor of one of the biggest cities in America is a huge problem, right?

Because they're not like me.

I can have my own opinions.

I'm not leading a whole caucus.

But when you are, like, when your job is to lead Democrats into victory, you have to be the one who does support the Democratic nominee because that is also what you're asking of people, right?

Like...

My...

My take is that if you are Hakeem Jeffries or you are Chuck Schumer, tomorrow you're going to ask for people to support the Democratic nominee for whatever district or state that you are supporting a House rep or a senator in.

And you expect all of us to get on board and support them.

Now, it's your time to get on board and support Saran because so many of us do.

I think there are three things that people need to understand about what's happening with the Venezuelan boats that have been bombed in the Caribbean.

One is that you cannot designate a drug cartel as a terrorist organization.

Two, the president has not given us a clear understanding of where the threat was because all reporting has said that the boats were turning back when they saw the United States drones.

And so that's not an imminent threat.

And three, yes, Congress has the power to declare war.

And the president has refused to come and ask for us to authorize, give him the authorization.

And so it is it's, again, really important.

And I just I get very frustrated that members of Congress are willing to.

to give away their constitutional rights in what they are supposed to do as a equal branch to the executive.
