So seriously, if one of your relatives or a friend or something like that is like, hey, what's going on with Iran?

Please just send them one of your favorite episodes on the subject so they can be informed as well.

With that, let's go ahead and start with Donald Trump.

Exactly.

Thank you.

Let me give a huge shout out to all of the War Powers activists who are working on this behind the scenes, to people like Thomas Massey, to Ro Khanna, and many of the other heroes in the House who are actually trying to do this.

Everybody else is either looking at it through a political lens or some cowardly, really.

The Senate Republicans just yesterday moved to make sure that a War Powers Act, a War Powers vote would not come before Congress.

And this is so important for our democratic process because it's what...

It shows the ability for the populace to buy in.

We're going to talk later about military recruitment and a draft.

I mean, look, I don't think any of that is going to happen, but this is the path that we are now on.

I mean, look, even in Vietnam, we had the sham Gulf of Tonkin resolution.

Even during Iraq, we had the actual vote.

There was a debate.

People had to live and die on that, but they do not want to be held accountable.

accountable for their actions now so far.

And it's really important that we all just put a pin in this for our democratic process, especially as we move to some potential ground invasion.

To have boots on the ground in a foreign country with no authorization is the absolute height of cowardice from every single member of the United States Congress.

Well, it's just a proof of 21st century warfare.
