president has a right to respond under an emergency basis to the disruption of international shipping brought about by the houthis but he has to get to congress immediately. it is congress that has the right to declare war, not the president of the united states. so i hope it gets to congress immediately. >> let's talk about the war waging in gaza. you're trying to direct the u.s. state department to look floor whether israel is using u.s. equipment or assistance to violate human rights standards in gaza. the spokesperson for the national security council john kirby responded to your plan saying, quote, we do not believe that this resolution is the right vehicle to address these issues and we don't think now is the right time. the israelis will have a much lower transition and reducing civilian casualties and increasing humanitarian assistance. unquote. what do you say to that? >> i strongly disagree.
