3) David Swanson, author, activist, journalist, radio host and Campaign Coordinator with Roots Action, talks about his group's current campaign opposing any Congressional move to kill the international Iran nuclear weapons agreement by imposing additional sanctions, as President Trump has signaled that he'll decertify the deal next week.
