The president is threatening genocide against the Iranian civilization. Donald Trump already asked for $200 billion more for his unlawful war on Iran. This is an addition. In addition to the 1.5 trillion that he wants for the Department of War this year. A department that hasn't met, literally has not passed eight audits in a row. Think about that. It's ridiculous and shameful and inhumane that our tax dollars again are being used to fund genocide and war crimes. (01:40–01:45)
