Rep. Jasmine Crockett delivers a fierce warning to Republicans and Congress after President Donald Trump launched strikes against Iran without congressional authorization. Crockett argues that the Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war and demands lawmakers take action before more American lives are lost. She directly challenges her Republican colleagues to choose between political loyalty and their constitutional oath, while calling on Speaker Mike Johnson to bring Congress back and consider a War Powers resolution. As tensions with Iran escalate, Crockett’s message raises a critical question: how many more lives must be lost before Congress takes back its authority?

00:00There's this little thing called the Epstein files. There's a lot of people that have been found liable, charged, all
00:08kinds of stuff from from Prince Andrew and Peter Mendelssohn, from Norwegian officials, the former prime minister and the former
00:17ambassador, all these different people.
00:18Right. Some would argue, especially since there was international trafficking that was taking place, some would argue that our president,
00:27whose name is found over and over and over and over in these files, may have engaged in, say, child
00:37trafficking, sex trafficking.
00:39They may come to that conclusion. We're going to start with the fact that Tupac famously said, for those of
00:45you that didn't necessarily listen to rap, that we've got money for war, but we can't feed the poor.
00:50And the reason that I bring this up is for two reasons. Number one, in order to get Maduro, the
00:55estimated cost is three billion dollars.
00:57I can guarantee you that a lot of Americans would say, yes, there's a valid warrant and things like that.
01:04But for the cost of three billion dollars, let's put our money somewhere else.
01:08Number one. Number two, Professor, you talked about the fact that if there wasn't the loss of life as it
01:17relates to our service members,
01:19or if this was just kind of quick boots on the ground for a second, then it wasn't war.
01:23So just answer this question for me. Would you consider what is taking place currently in the Middle East a
01:30war?
01:30Because we continue to have our sons and daughters returned in caskets to the United States.
01:37That's a yes or no? No, the analysis for Rand is different.
01:39Oh, OK. OK. So you agree with me, Dan? Yes.
01:42I didn't say that. OK, it's different analysis.
01:46So I'm just going to go with you agree with me because this is clearly a war and it's unconstitutional.
01:54That is the bottom line. And frankly, as it relates to Venezuela,
01:57I think that we still will have some time to determine exactly how bad it is,
02:03because imagine for two seconds that you had fishermen and sailors that were coming from the United States
02:12and Venezuela all of a sudden started bombing our people saying, oh, no, no, no, you're bringing guns.
02:18Because let me be clear, America does their share, fair share of nonsense in other countries.
02:24We tend to supply everybody with the guns. We flood this this world with guns everywhere.
02:30Right. So let's say they said, you know what? We don't want all those guns going to the gangsters in
02:35our communities.
02:35So we're just going to start blowing people up. And frankly, legally, that may work for them.
02:41You know why? We have a constitution and not everybody does.
02:44And so it is offensive to sit here and engage in this conversation as someone who practiced criminal law.
02:51And my God, everyone that I had, no matter what they were accused of, even if they were accused of
02:58capital murder,
02:59they were given an opportunity to actually show up in court and face their accusations, not be killed.
03:06So the justification, like I don't understand why we are trying to make it partisan.
03:10It should not be partisan to just go and blow up these boats.
03:14Are you saying, professor, that you believe that blowing up these boats because somebody believes it?
03:19You know what? Let me do it this way. Let's say they are drug traffickers.
03:24Do you believe that it is constitutional for the United States to blow up people that are accused of being
03:30drug traffickers?
03:31So it's not going to be a yes or no question.
03:33OK, then I'm going to just I'm going to stop you there because I only got so much time.
03:36And, Professor, you know, I was really loving on you because you came from South Texas, which is down in
03:40Houston,
03:41not too far from University of Houston where I got my law degree.
03:43But it is very clear that it is unconstitutional for us in the United States.
03:49Let me give you all another issue that I don't understand if you all see it the way that I
03:55do.
03:56There is this little thing called the Epstein files.
03:59There's a lot of people that have been found liable, charged, all kinds of stuff from from Prince Andrew and
04:07Peter Mendelssohn,
04:08from Norwegian officials, the former prime minister and the former ambassador, all these different people.
04:15Right. Some would argue, especially since there was international trafficking that was taking place,
04:22some would argue that our president, whose name is found over and over and over and over in these files,
04:31may have engaged in, say, child trafficking, sex trafficking.
04:36They may come to that conclusion.
04:39Now, with that being the understanding, if there are other countries that believe because they believe in actually holding people
04:45accountable.
04:46OK, so they say, you know what?
04:48There were some girls from England or wherever because there were people from different countries.
04:54And they said, you know what?
04:55We don't just come and we're going to drop in on America.
04:58We're going to bomb America.
05:01We're going to kill civilians in America because you know what?
05:05We have a warrant for his arrest, whether it's for the child sex trafficking in the Epstein files because America
05:11doesn't want to do their job
05:12or whether we're talking about violating international law, whether we're talking about going and just randomly killing people.
05:20I can tell you that every single one of you that is sticking up for him right now would be
05:24screaming from the rooftops.
05:26The analysis has to be the same.
05:28I am so offended that I am still paying my daggone student loans for law school.
05:33And it seems like none of it matters nowadays because seemingly what we do is we twist the law to
05:39justify.
05:40The analysis is the same.
05:41If you would be outraged if they came and bombed our country to go after him to arrest him.
05:47If you're listening that I don't know.
05:50I don't know if people are doing this.
05:51But if they decided to do that because of the Epstein files or because of violating international law, you all
05:58would be against it.
05:59So we should be against it right now.
06:02Thank you, All Yields.
