Straight Shooter with Stephen A.

What's up everybody?

Welcome to the latest edition of Straight Shooter with yours, Truly, Stephen A.

Coming at you as I love to do every Wednesday night from 6 to 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time over the airwaves of Sirius XM. Podus Radio, Channel 124. Number to call up as always is 866-967-8-8-8-6-6-8-6-8-8-6-8-8-8-6-8-8-6-8-8-US. I will get into Representative Jasmine Crockett losing her bid for the United States Senate seat based out of the great state of Texas in just a minute.

But I think it's appropriate to start off today's show with some breaking news because it just came down like literally, literally minutes ago.

And I think that everybody needs to know about exactly that.

The United States Senate rejected bids to scale back Trump's power with the war in Iran, in Iran.

According to the news reports, reading straight off of political right now, the Senate rejected an attempt to rein in the war in Iran, handing President

Donald Trump what amounts to an endorsement of his five-day military campaign. The 47 to 53 vote

split largely along party lines with Republican senators united to defeat a measure that would have required congressional approval to continue the operation.

Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, a co-sponsor, was the only Republican who supported the resolution, while Democratic Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania broke with his party in support of the

strike. So you had one Democratic senator in Fetterman who supported Trump, and we had one

Republican senator in Rand Paul who obviously opposed Trump. Either way you slice it,

here's the bottom line. We could slice it any way we want to.

It's we're at war.

We're at war.

When you go about the business of destabilizing another nation, I mean, somebody put it simple and plain.

And a lot of times I get really ticked off and I get frustrated because of the lack of focus on the questions and

the probing that are necessary. Not all of this lip service that you're given to. Oh, the

gun, you know, the president didn't consult with Congress. The president didn't consult with

anybody. We're not supposed to be declaring wars. Congress only has the right to do that

constitutionally. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
