Israel "Forced Our Hand" on Iran? + The War Powers Shell Game | 1735
About this episode
Rubio and Speaker Mike Johnson went on camera and accidentally told the truth about the Iran strike story: the "imminent threat" wasn't Iran hitting us first, it was Israel acting and the US expecting the blowback. The guys tear apart the "proactively defensive" framing, ask why "America First" keeps turning into Middle East escalation, and roast the new version of the old sales pitch: Iran is always just months away from "immunity" and "blackmailing America."
They also dig into what the War Powers Resolution actually says, why "defensive" is doing a lot of work in these interviews, and how Congress can stop a war of choice immediately if it wants to. Plus: a contractor joke that cuts way too close to home.
