Thomas Massie on Trump trying to whip his vote on the 2020 restatement that war powers resides with Congress:

"His argument... was that he could bluff Iran into doing what he wanted."

"But that would've given Trump the power to declare war without Congress's involvement."

"he didn't convince me. I did vote for the resolution that restated the Constitution... says you got to come to Congress if you want to have a war with Iran"

"his first mistake may have been making Marco Rubio Secretary of State."

"his second mistake would be letting Lindsey Graham on that airplane so many times, whispering in his ear."

"finally, maybe his biggest mistake is letting Israel control too much of his policy. Perhaps it was taking $200 million from Miriam Adelson."

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Iran:

“Many people have said to me, ‘Are you surprised the market has gone up on bad news?’ I say, I don't think the news is that bad. I think the news is bad. The quality of the reporting. The anti-Americanism. People are so anti-President Trump. 90% of their missile factories are done... 50% of the military is not getting paid. This is a wipeout. We wipe them out.”
