| 0:00.0 | Well, howdy there, internet people. It's fell again. So today, we're going to talk about war powers, |
| 0:10.3 | Trump, and what's next. A little more than a week ago, the House went on break, after the Senate |
| 0:18.0 | advanced a war powers resolution, and Speaker of the House Johnson appeared worried |
| 0:23.9 | that enough Republicans were fed up with the Trump administrations failed foreign policy and |
| 0:29.4 | military campaigns. Well, it turns out he had good reason to be afraid that enough Republicans |
| 0:37.0 | are more worried about the wrath of the |
| 0:39.6 | voters than they are about supporting Trump's elective war. The House took the vote on Wednesday. Shortly |
| 0:48.4 | afterward, Representative Massey, who Trump campaigned against, celebrated the result on social media. |

| 1:47.5 | to mention. One reason is that Rubio kind of flubed his congressional hearing, during which |
| 1:55.4 | Senator Booker of New Jersey took Rubio to task, saying, quote, and that was the exact deal that you guys vilified, |
| 2:04.7 | that the president and you vilified President Obama for having. Adding quote, here we have a |
| 2:12.6 | worst situation where our adversary and our enemy, who's causing havoc in the region, |
| 2:19.1 | who is funding proxies and terrorists, has discovered, thanks to you all, |
| 2:24.8 | the power of shutting down the Strait of Hormuz. |
