Katie Porter explaining that the IRS is the primary source to fund the government. Then, he talks about the U.S. strikes on Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen after they launched missiles attacking merchant ships in the Red Sea. He plays clips of President Biden and National Security spokesperson John Kirby on the attacks. He then welcomes back the executive director of BlackPAC and the affiliated nonpartisan Black Progressive Action Coalition - Adrianne Shropshire and they discuss how to get people motivated to vote.
