Episode Description

Another day... another vote. For the third time since the conflict began, the U.S. House has voted to end the ongoing war in Iran. The vote to pass a war powers resolution passed, but it's unlikely to do anything. Many members of Congress and the public at large refer to this conflict as a war, which would require congressional approval. But the Trump Administration continues to call it a military operation -- not a war -- and uses this to justify doing what they want without Congress. So does it just come down to semantics? Greg and Holly speak with Ryan Vogel, the Founding Director of the Center for National Security at Utah Valley University to get his perspective on the conflict. They also discuss the ongoing costs of the war on Americans' pocketbooks.
