Senate Republicans Reject Effort To Halt Iran War

The Republican-led Senate has rejected the latest Democratic attempt to halt President Donald Trump’s war in Iran. The Senate on Wednesday turned aside a resolution that would require the U.S. to withdraw forces from the conflict until Congress authorizes further action. It was the fourth time this year the Senate has voted to cede its war powers to Trump in a conflict that Democrats say is illegal and unjustified. Republicans say they will keep faith in Trump’s wartime leadership, for now, citing Iran’s nuclear capabilities and the high stakes of withdrawal. But GOP lawmakers are also anxious for the conflict to end.

DHS Employee Shot, Stabbed To Death By Man Naturalized By Biden Administration

An Atlanta man has been charged in a string of attacks over a matter of hours that left two women dead and a man in critical condition. One of the women, Lauren Bullis, worked for the Department of Homeland Security. Her killing on Monday led Homeland Secretary Markwayne Mullin to issue a statement raising concerns that the 26-year-old defendant, U.K.-native Olaolukitan Adon Abel, was granted U.S. citizenship in 2022, when Democrat Joe Biden was president. Mullin cataloged a litany of the defendant’s previous alleged crimes, but he didn't specify whether they happened before Adon Abel was granted citizenship. Authorities are looking into whether the victims were targeted at random.

With Peter St. Onge, Senior Economist at The Heritage Foundation.

Iran’s Economy Is In Ruins. How About Our Own?

Josh responds to the pope’s recent comments about the war in Iran and examining how they square with Scripture. He also breaks down the latest developments in the ongoing peace talks between Israel and Lebanon and what the newest updates could mean for stability across the Middle East. Josh is then joined by Peter St. Onge, Senior Economist at The Heritage Foundation, to discuss the state of the economy and the real key to bringing oil prices down—both here at home and around the world.
