00:00I reiterated my demand of Secretary Hegseth in front of all hundred senators.
00:06The unedited video of what happened on September 2nd.
00:10How can you trust their transparency on all the other issues swirling about in the Caribbean?
00:16In my Gang of Eight meeting last week, I asked Secretary Hegseth,
00:20let every senator see it. He said he'd think about it.
00:23Today, he came up with no answer and no tape.
00:27We do not, their policies in the Caribbean are unclear.
00:34We don't know what the limits are. We don't know where they'll stop.
00:37We don't know what the ultimate goal is.
00:39The president says different things at different times and contradicts himself.
00:44We don't want another endless war.
00:46We don't want to stumble into something and given Trump's erratic back and forth on this issue.
00:53I reiterated my demand of Secretary Hegseth in front of all hundred senators
00:59that he allow every senator to see the unedited version,
01:07the unedited video of what happened on September 2nd.
01:11He refused.
01:13The administration came to this briefing empty-handed.
01:16That's the major question that we face.
01:19And if they can't be transparent on this,
01:22how can you trust their transparency on all the other issues swirling about in the Caribbean?
01:29Every senator is entitled to see it.
01:32There is no problem with sources and methods
01:36because the senators will see it in the skiff.
01:40I also believe that every American should see an appropriate version of this,
01:46of the unedited, well, they should see an appropriate version
01:50of what happened on September 2nd.
01:53I saw it.
01:55It was deeply troubling.
01:57In my Gang of Eight meeting last week,
01:59I asked Secretary Hegseth,
02:01let every senator see it.
02:03He said he'd think about it.
02:04Today, he came up with no answer and no tape.
02:08His reasoning was that it might give things away that shouldn't be.
02:14I respect classification.
02:16When you do it in the skiff, that argument is undercut.
02:19It's just with senators in the skiff.
02:22Can you help us understand if they gave any rationale
02:25of what the end goal of these strikes actually is?
02:27Look, that's the sad,
02:29and I sat through this briefing once before last week.
02:32We do not...
02:35Their policies in the Caribbean are unclear.
02:40We don't know what the limits are.
02:41We don't know where they'll stop.
02:43We don't know what the ultimate goal is.
02:45The president says different things at different times
02:48and contradicts himself.
02:50That's why we need full transparency,
02:52at least to the hundred senators,
02:54and much more transparency to the American people.
02:56We don't want another endless war.
02:59We don't want to stumble into something
03:00and give Trump's erratic back and forth on this issue.
03:06I worry about that.
03:08So do many Americans.
