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.
