Full Bernie Sanders speech at No Kings protest blasts Donald Trump, Iran war and affordability

Published | Video Starts at 21:53

End this war. And as a US Senator, I want to just mention to you about what I intend to do about it. First, we have got to make sure that Congress must not send another $200 billion to fight this war [in Iran]. Trump's supplemental appropriation for the war in Iran must be defeated. Secondly, I will be forcing a vote in the Senate on legislation to block the sale of nearly a billion dollars in weapons to the Israeli military for bombs and bulldozers. (21:53–22:05)
