How can we run as the transparency party, as the party that is going to govern differently and not in secrecy if we aren't willing to release things like the DNC report?

Well, they're powerful interests that are itching to have regime change in Iran.

I mean, they organized 100 people to protest me in my town hall back home.

I watched it.

They have people who are threatening in terms of donors and finances.

I mean, look, this has been a long-term goal of AIPAC and other groups to have regime change in Iran.

And so when you stand up and say, I'm going to introduce legislation to uphold the Constitution and not get us into another war, you make enemies.

And I think there's a reason that most people just duck these issues.

There's a reason most people don't want to say, OK, release the DNC report, or there's genocide in Gaza,

or we shouldn't be getting into a war in Iran and let's do a war powers resolution, or let's take on the Epstein class.

It's not that they may disagree with it, it's just they don't want billionaires and powerful people to be targeting them.

Well, we have a meeting tomorrow to try to call support from the caucus.

The reality is I was ready to introduce the resolution on Monday.

We wouldn't have had the votes.

And I do think that we are getting to the place where we will have the votes by early next week.

But it's taking work.

And it's taking work to say, look, we are going to put people on record.

And you don't want to be on record saying that you support another war in the Middle East.

But there are a lot of people in Congress, Republicans and Democrats, who just would prefer these issues go away.

They don't want to stick their necks out and offend people in powerful places.
