Julian Andreone, Drop Site News. I just wanted to ask you. How do you plan to vote on the War Powers Resolution that Representative Massie and Khanna introduced?<\/p>\n<p>Gary Palmer: I haven&#8217;t even looked at it. You&#8217;re the first person to ask me about it. So, we\u2019ll look at it.<\/p>\n<p>Julian Andreone: With regard to Iran. I mean, why are we even considering attacking them? How does that benefit the American people? <\/p>\n<p>Gary Palmer: Well, I hear they&#8217;re days away from having weapons grade uranium.  But again, I just got here today. I&#8217;ll look at it. <\/p>\n<p>Julian Andreone: I thought that the Trump administration announced in June that they already destroyed their nuclear sites in the uranium reserves. I mean, why would we have any reason to believe that they still have that?<\/p>\n<p>Gary Palmer: Why are you taking Iran&#8217;s side? <\/p>\n<p>Julian Andreone: I just wanted to ask you. How do you plan to vote on the War Powers Resolution? <\/p>\n<p>Jim McGovern: In favor of it. I believe you know the Constitution is clear when it comes to the war powers. I introduced the one when it came to Venezuela. But, I mean, no matter what you believe about going to war with Iran, I mean, you should want to debate it and vote on it. I don&#8217;t know what the controversy is.<\/p>\n<p>Julian Andreone: And as it relates to war with Iran, I mean, why would we even attack them? How is that in America&#8217;s best interest? <\/p>\n<p>Jim McGovern: I don&#8217;t think it is. But to those who do, you know, have the guts to debate it and vote on it, but I think it&#8217;s a mistake. And again, I think, you know, Congress has a constitutional authority to be part of this decision. Iran did not attack us. So this is, you know, this is a decision that the president is making to affirmatively go after Iran. But again, I&#8217;m opposed to it. I will make the case during a debate why I&#8217;m opposed to it. But if you foreign, I mean, have the balls to come to the floor, and actually explain to the American people why you&#8217;re voting to go to war. I mean, the American people, you know, are not worried, and they don&#8217;t want a war with Iran. What the American people want is some of us to focus on issues of affordability. Because life is too goddamn expensive. <\/p>\n<p>Julian Andreone: Last question. If we&#8217;re not going to war for the American people, then who are we going to war for?<\/p>\n<p>Jim McGovern: I have no idea. I mean, I can&#8217;t even begin to understand what goes through Donald Trump\u2019s head.<\/p>\n<p>Julian Andreone: There&#8217;s some people who&#8217;ve been advocating or some countries that have been advocating for it for a couple decades. Right?<\/p>\n<p>Jim McGovern: I mean, you know, you know, but the deal is we should do what&#8217;s in our interest and we should do what&#8217;s in the interest of the American people. We&#8217;ve got to be putting the American people first. And, that hasn&#8217;t been happening with this administration.<\/p>\n<p>Julian Andreone: Do you plan to vote on the War Powers Resolution that&#8217;s coming up here? <\/p>\n<p>Mike Haridopolos: I think the president has the maximum flexibility to take on these different enemies around the country. <\/p>\n<p>Julian Andreone: But why are we even going to war with Iran? Or why would we even strike them? I mean, how is that in America&#8217;s best interests? <\/p>\n<p>Mike Haridopolos: I think if you actually study history, since 1979 they&#8217;ve been the source of evil in the Middle East. As they&#8217;ve been funding those seven front wars against Israel and other destabilizing factors, and they even have interests with some of our other adversaries as well. But it&#8217;s the president&#8217;s decision based on this, hopefully we can have a peace deal like the president&#8217;s done so well in his first year back in office. I think there&#8217;s a different peace agreements.<\/p>\n<p>Julian Andreone: So did those nuke sites not get decimated in June when he announced that?<\/p>\n<p>Mike Haridopolos: I think you\u2019d have to go to the SCIF to find all that out.<\/p>\n<p>Julian Andreone: Congressman.
