00:00We were lied to about the war in Iraq and we are being lied to today about the
00:10war in Iran. This war must end immediately. In the last election Donald
00:26Trump pointed out correctly the huge amounts of money that had been wasted in
00:33wars that should have been spent rebuilding America. He campaigned as a
00:39peace candidate and he promised no more forever wars. He lied. One month ago Trump
00:53and his partner Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu started a war with
01:04Iran. This war is unconstitutional. Trump did not seek or receive authorization from
01:13Congress. This war is a violation of international law. One sovereign nation
01:21cannot simply go about attacking another sovereign nation for any reason it
01:29chooses.
01:35Since this war began 13 American soldiers have been killed and hundreds have been
01:45wounded including another 12 yesterday. In Iran nearly 2,000 civilians have been
01:55killed and many more wounded and 498 schools have been bombed by American and
02:05Israeli missiles.
02:11In Lebanon more than a thousand people are dead and more than 1 million Lebanese
02:19people 15 percent of their population have been displaced from their homes.
02:29In Israel 20 people have been killed and over 5,000 wounded. In the West Bank Israeli vigilantes are burning
02:40down homes and killing Palestinians.
02:46At a time when gas prices are soaring when many Americans cannot afford the basic necessities of life it is
02:56estimated that this war has already cost a trillion dollars.
03:06At a time when the American people are politically divided there is one issue that is
03:15bringing us together. Conservatives moderates and progressives are speaking out in
03:25unison in unison. End this war.
03:36End this war! End this war!
03:48And as a U.S senator, I want to just mention to you that that
03:55about what I intend to do about it.
03:58First, we have got to make sure that Congress
04:02does not send another $200 billion to fight this war.
04:12Trump's supplemental appropriation
04:14for the war in Iran must be defeated.
04:21Secondly, I will be forcing a vote in the Senate
04:26on legislation to block the sale of nearly a billion dollars
04:31in weapons to the Israeli military for bombs and bulldozers.
04:42A nation, a government that has committed genocide
04:47in Gaza does not need more military support
04:51from American taxpayers.
