Let me ask you, why didn't the Democrats that's asking this same question demand that Barack Obama do that in 2016 when he bombed six countries and dropped 26,000 bombs from Syria? Right now I'm talking about the same situation. The President under Article 2 has broken authorities to keep Americans interests safe, home and abroad. There's no question, not one of you guys can question the fact that they haven't killed through proxies or injured through proxies thousands of Americans for 47 years. (01:46–01:52)
