SENATOR SHOWDOWN: Watch Fetterman and McCormick debate in high-stakes forum

Published | Video Starts at 12:05

Well, just a word on Iran and then I'll talk about that. On Iran, I agree completely with Senator Fetterman in the following way. Iran's explicit goal is to destroy Israel and the United States.
