0:47Now PlayingLeigh McGowan, host of the PoliticsGirl podcast, joins the show to break down the escalating conflict with Iran and the constitutional questions surrounding the president’s decision to move forward without congressional authorization. She reacts to reports of American casualties, the possibility of boots on the ground, and growing backlash from both parties.
McGowan argues that war powers belong to Congress — not the executive branch — and warns that bypassing that process raises serious concerns about accountability and democratic norms. The conversation also examines whether the conflict could reshape the upcoming election, how public polling reflects skepticism about military action, and
why competence and planning matter in moments of international crisis.
