by June 3rd, both branches of Congress had officially voted in a way that indicates that the

0:05.5

Iran War is not authorized. Even if President Donald Trump doesn't sign these resolutions into law,

0:12.0

which of course he won't, the message has been sent. This war has not been approved by Congress,

0:18.0

the people's branch of government. And I think it's fairly safe to assume that this is at least playing a role in President

Trump's willingness to enter a deal, any deal, no matter how shi with the Iranians.

1:34.4

quick with Congressional Dish, because I know that we're going through a period of unprecedented

congressional dysfunction. As you'll see in this episode today, Congress is around. They're working. They're doing some
