Rep. Lori Trahan on the latest in Iran

I mean, the president has already said he doesn't care. In a separate event last night before his evening address, he stood in the White House and said verbatim, we can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things. But there's always money for war. Always. But if you ask this president to fund childcare, bring our grocery prices or our energy prices down for a family in Lawrence, the cupboard is suddenly bare. (02:15–02:24)
