00:00We're the American people.
00:02That's not operational security, it's political protection for Donald Trump.
00:08And while our troops are being injured, Pete Hegseth was out marketing testosterone supplements.
00:14Nearly 100 wounded troops, but the Secretary of Defense found time for a sales pitch.
00:21Hegseth must answer for this today.
00:23No military family should learn from a newspaper what its government refused to tell them.
00:31So Trump and Rubio declared this war over in April, in May, in June.
00:37They were wrong every time.
00:39More than 500 American troops have been injured in just the past few weeks.
00:45And nearly 100 of those have been withheld from Americans by the Pentagon.
00:50Information about 100 of them have been withheld, which is disgraceful.
00:55Almost 20 American soldiers have now paid the ultimate price.
00:59And these headlines that we have here reveals the truth.
01:04The ceasefire collapsed.
01:06The war is escalating.
01:08American troops are paying the price.
01:12Iran knew it attacked our bases.
01:15The Pentagon knew our troops were wounded.
01:17And the only people kept in the dark were the American people.
01:21That's not operational security.
01:23It's political protection for Donald Trump.
01:27And while our troops are being injured, Pete Hegseth was out marketing testosterone supplements.
01:33Nearly 100 wounded troops.
01:36But the Secretary of Defense found time for a sales pitch.
01:40Hegseth must answer for this today.
01:43No military family should learn from a newspaper what its government refused to tell them.
01:50Everything this administration is telling Republicans behind closed doors must be shared with the entire Congress.
01:57And Senate Democrats will now force another vote this week to end this unauthorized war and bring our troops home.
02:05Trump cannot hide the wounded and call it peace.
02:10Congress must end this war on corruption.
02:15Trump's corruption is not a side story of this presidency.
02:18It's the business model.
02:20He's turned the presidency into the most profitable scheme of his life and left American families with the bill.
02:28This week, I launched a Democratic Senate effort to expose the corruption, show Americans what it cost them, and develop
02:38reforms to stop it.
02:39Take Trump's truth API for $100,000 a month.
02:44Wall Street can buy early success to the president's market-moving posts.
02:49And in a millisecond, traders can make a fortune if they get this information first.
02:56If a White House aide sold presidential announcements to traders, it would be an earth-shattering scandal.
03:02And now Trump makes it a subscription plan.
03:05We said we were talking about corruption.
03:07Every day he gives us more proof, such as what he just did with Trump's truth, with his API.
03:15Then there's the $400 million luxury jet, the largest gift ever handed to an American president, and add another billion
03:26dollars to retrofit it.
03:28Trump gets the plane, taxpayers get a billion-dollar bill.
03:34Warren Parting, generally regarded as the most corrupt president in history, was a piker compared to this guy.
03:42It is the Trump formula.
03:44He gets the gift.
03:45His wealthy friends get the advantage.
03:48Working families pay the bill.
03:51Senate Democrats will follow the money, expose the deals, and at the end of this work period, we will introduce
03:58major legislation to stop this abuse.
04:00The presidency is not a family business, the White House is not for sale, and the American people are not
04:09Donald Trump's easy marks.
