House votes to end Iran war -- Live with John Aravosis

On tonight’s show I’ll be discussing a growing Republican revolt against Trump’s war with Iran, as the GOP-led House votes to restrict the president’s ability to continue military action without congressional approval. We’ll also look at the latest round of fighting between the US and Iran, including new strikes, Iranian retaliation against US-friendly countries in the region, and what all of this means for the supposedly ongoing ceasefire.We’ll discuss the shocking report that a convicted January 6 insurrectionist has been hired into a sensitive Pentagon counterterrorism office that reportedly requires a Top Secret clearance, along with Democratic efforts to block Bill Pulte’s nomination as Director of National Intelligence. And we’ll take a look at the Supreme Court’s decision clearing the way for a Republican-friendly congressional map in Alabama, eliminating a majority-Black district.I’ll also cover Trump’s latest false claims about inflation and the 2020 election, his bizarre comparison between the White House reflecting pool and the world’s tallest buildings, and why he now says the UFC cage on the White House lawn may be there to stay. We’ll discuss Marco Rubio’s comments about Greenland, Trump’s ongoing feud with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, and reports that top Pentagon officials are defending racist social media posts directed at journalists.And overseas, we’ll look at Ukraine’s latest attacks on Russian oil infrastructure ahead of the St. Petersburg Economic Forum, the chaos that followed, and the irony of prominent American influencers reportedly attending the event while Russian airports were being shut down by drone attacks. Plus, we’ll talk about Laura Loomer’s remarkable warning that parts of the conservative movement may have been manipulated by Russian propaganda, and why her comments are causing such a stir on the right.00:00 Pre-show setup and opening discussion02:00 Lemon tea, audience chat, and housekeeping05:22 House votes to restrict Trump’s Iran war powers10:30 Continuing US-Iran fighting despite ceasefire claims16:04 Scott Pelley firing and turmoil at CBS News21:30 Democrats move against Bill Pulte nomination25:00 Trump’s inflation claims fact-checked28:00 Trump compares reflecting pool to world’s tallest buildings31:00 Convicted January 6 rioter hired for Pentagon counterterrorism role37:16 Supreme Court allows Republican-friendly Alabama map37:24 Trump again falsely claims 2020 election was stolen39:00 UFC cage may remain on White House lawn41:00 Rubio comments on Greenland43:08 Laura Loomer warns about Russian propaganda on the right44:20 Candace Owens, Andrew Tate, and Russia’s influencer outreach49:00 Ukraine attacks Russian oil infrastructure53:00 Russian drone attacks and airport shutdowns58:00 Pentagon controversy over racist social media posts63:00 Audience questions and discussion68:00 Politics, media, and foreign policy discussion73:00 Final Q&A77:00 Wrap-up and closing remarks This is a public episode.
