Welcome back to New World next week.

I'm James Corbett of Corporate Report.com.

And I'm James Evan Palado from Mediamonarchy.com.

What's your trustworthiness score?

We've got that story plus gardening in your own yard. But first,

you do not have permission for war with Iran. Senator Rand Paul on Wednesday, actually today,

as I'm taping this, April 10th, 2019, Senator Rand Paul on Wednesday warned the Trump administration

not to go to war with Iran, at least not without getting permission from Congress first.

He asked Pompeo. You know, the former, I find his rise has been quite meteoric. He goes from being

essentially a congressman in Kansas, helping Monsanto write the denying Americans the right to no act.

And then what do you know? He's heading the CIA and now Secretary of State. It's been quite the rocket ride for Pompeo. Paul asked Pompeo if

the 2001 authorization for use of military force, which allowed for U.S. troops to fight entities

responsible for 9-11, see if that included Iran. Pompeo, of course, declined who directly answer the question, saying he'd defer to the lawyers,

of course, because that's how war is waged, but stated that there's no doubt a connection

between the Iranian government and al-Qaeda, the terrorist group behind the 2001 attacks.

You do not have the permission of Congress to go to war with

Iran. Paul responded, while chiding Pompeo for trying to deflect the question, only Congress can

declare war. Pompeo was testifying before the Republican-controlled committee, a session that came

the same week. President Donald Trump designated Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist

organization, prompting concerns about future clashes between U.S. and Iranian-backed forces.

See, this is kind of this story that's been building for quite some time here with the old Trump train.

And I've got a slew of stories that kind of all go together here and tell one part of the story here in segment one.
