On Tuesday, July 28, Rush and Reagan tackle a hard truth: Congress just voted twice on Iran war powers, and neither vote actually stops Trump from waging war. With three American troops dead in Jordan and a fourth in Iraq, the hosts dig into why a nonbinding resolution and a failed binding one both amount to Congress talking tough while ceding real authority.
This episode covers a lot of ground. Rush and Reagan grade their own prior predictions on the ceasefire collapse, owning what they got wrong. They trace triple-digit oil prices and near-four-dollar gas straight back to the widening war, separating panic-driven spikes from real structural risk. They break down which Republicans are crossing party lines and why, including Trump's blunt insult toward defectors. And Reagan walks through the legal distinction between concurrent and joint resolutions that explains why Congress's votes are more symbolic than binding.
Expect sharp disagreement, a few laughs at Trump's Truth Social threats, and a serious look at collapsing GOP support as prices climb and questions swirl around Hegseth. Next episode: watch for that new benchmark both hosts committed to on the record.
