Elisabeth & Sunny Clash on Trump's Iran Strikes

0:00Entertainment Store is making news on March 5th. Elizabeth Hasselbeck is back filling in as a host on the view, stirring up big debates with her co-hosts. This time, she classed with Sonny Austin over President Donald Trump's recent airstrikes on Iran. Sonny called the strikes illegal and unconstitutional, while Elizabeth pushed back hard with a key example from the past. She pointed to a 2011 memo from the Office of Legal Council during Barack Obama's presidency. That document said the president has the authority to use military force when it's in the national interest, like in the Libya operation. According to the memo, congressional approval isn't required beforehand. Sonny didn't buy it, drawing from her time at the Department of Justice. She argued that presidents don't typically go to that office for such decisions and insisted Congress needs to vote on strikes like these against Iran. The back and forth got intense on air Thursday. Woopy Goldberg jumped in to shift the topic, but Sonny kept going, wanting that starting a war is easy while ending one is much tougher.

1:01This isn't Hasselbeck's first heated moment. She sparred with Woopy earlier in the week over icy shootings. The debate highlights deep divides on Trump's actions, which have split public opinion. Officials face scrutiny, too, amid reports of six American soldiers killed in related combat. This episode is proudly sponsored by our partner. You know what is better than earbuds and bed?
