I mean, people are starting to figure out where we are, but the other important part is how did we get here?

We got here because months ago, the president and Republicans in Congress wanted to extend that big tax cut for rich people.

That's what this is all about.

And that tax cut costs a lot of money.

And that bill is going to add $4 trillion to the debt over 10 years.

But if we didn't kick people off of Medicaid and we didn't cut these premium tax credits, that $4 trillion was going to be a lot higher.

So this is to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy.

That's all this is about.

It is we're fighting for health care.

They're fighting for big tax cuts for rich people.

I actually sunk two ships in the first Gulf War.

I sunk a Polnokne troop carrier, Iraqi troop carrier, and I sunk a OSA-2 missile patrol boat in the middle of Kuwait Harbor.

And never once during those missions did I ever think to myself, ooh, am I operating outside of the law?

Is this in some way unconstitutional?

And I really worry about those, you know,

aviators, drone operators, special forces guys that are in the Caribbean right now that are striking these boats.

And whether or not this is legal or are they going to find out on some future date that what they did was not consistent with our laws here in the United States and laws of international conflict.

There's no authorization for the use of military force.

The United States Congress has not given that to the president.

He hasn't asked.
