The White House is claiming a peace deal with Iran is close, but
The deal on the table looks almost identical to the Obama-era agreement
Trump tore up in 2018. Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio
openly told the press that the administration doesn't feel bound by the
War Powers Act, and one Republican congressman from Michigan is

Topics covered:
- Iran peace talks and what's actually being offered
- How the proposed deal compares to the 2018 Obama deal Trump scrapped
- Rubio says the White House won't follow the War Powers Act
- Rep. Tom Barrett's AUMF bill and what it means
- Iran's missile stockpile is 70-75% intact, not 18% like Trump claimed
- U.S. has burned through nearly half its critical missile stockpiles
- Saudi Arabia suspended U.S. base access, here's why
