Published | Video Starts at 03:12

In many instances, we have been intercepting low cost iranian backed drones with multimillion dollar munitions. This funding will protect our forces and put us on the right side of the cost curve. This funding bill resupplies Israel's defensive capability, restores american defense industry to replenish our stocks, funds necessary operations for our forces in the region, and sends a strong signal that the United States will not back down. I am grateful for the support of Chairwoman Granger, Chairman Diaz Ballard, republican leadership, and dozens of members who have co sponsored the bill. (03:12–03:28)
