Weeks ago, it was Venezuela. Yep. Where the president took us in unilaterally. Now it's Iran. Tomorrow it might be Cuba. Right. If we continue to let President Trump think he can unilaterally commit our soldiers, commit billions of dollars to whatever war he picks without a check from Congress, we have lost our democracy as it was designed. Senators, thank you for being here tonight. Thanks for joining us on set and of course, to the sergeant's family, our thoughts and our prayers to everyone who knew him and loved him, and may his memory be a blessing. (22:09–22:22)
