House Rebukes Trump on Iran War, GOP Revolt Grows & $1.8 Billion Fund Faces Collapse

In this episode of the White House Briefing Room, Jon Decker breaks down a dramatic day on Capitol Hill as the House votes to restrict President Trump's ability to continue military operations against Iran without congressional authorization. The vote marks a significant shift among Republicans and signals growing concern over the ongoing conflict as gasoline prices rise and the 2026 midterm elections approach. Jon also examines the escalating battle over the administration's controversial $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund, which faces mounting resistance from Republicans in both the House and Senate. Despite testimony suggesting the program is dead, President Trump continues to defend the proposal, fueling concerns among lawmakers seeking to permanently block it. Plus, Congress advances legislation aimed at increasing pressure on Russia while providing billions in aid and loans to Ukraine, highlighting growing bipartisan divisions over foreign policy. And in a lighter moment, President Trump suggests the massive UFC arena being built on the White House South Lawn for America's 250th anniversary celebrations could become a permanent fixture.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
