Published | Video Starts at 15:22

Stop cutting the funding that was coming to our communities for community violence intervention groups that were actually on the ground doing the work. But he's not interested in that. But what he is interested in doing is He'll cut funding for stuff that's actually working, but then ask the American taxpayer to pay over a million dollars a day so they can watch National Guard take selfies. Are you concerned? Like when you saw the meeting that, you know, Secretary of War Pete Hecseff and President Trump had with the US Military generals and admirals. (15:22–15:33)

CLAIM
