Published | Video Starts at 03:34

You know, from my standpoint, I think the top priority government is defense of this n our men and women are in harm's way, the finest among us. We've just had, I guess, four more tragically die. So We've never forced paying for a military supplemental ever, as far as I'm aware of. I don't see why we'd really need to do that now. Whether you supported or not support the Iran war, I think you should support our troops, and I think they probably need the funding. (03:34–03:41)
