    Congress REBUKES Trump on Iran War and much more. Special Guest Rep. Brit Robinson from Florida.

    Congress just rebuked Trump on the Iran war for the SECOND time — and it still doesn't matter. Four U.S. troops dead in six days, oil over $100 a barrel, and a vote that doesn't even land on his desk. Then: the Houston ICE killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo keeps falling apart under oath — no body cams, no dash cams, and a story that's changed three times. Plus, a second Epstein-linked figure turns up dead in France before ever facing trial, and a quick hit on Arizona's Trump-backed primary sweep.🎤 Guest: Representative Brit Robinson joined us to give her thoughts on whats happening right now in congress as well as with all of our stories. 🎙️ FOLLOW THE POLITICAL POUR:Alexis: https://instagram.com/OutLoudWithAlex https://tiktok.com/@outloudwithalexAmanda: https://instagram.com/AmandaInformed https://tiktok.com/@amandainformedWatch us live on TikTok, listen on Apple Podcasts, and catch full episodes here every week.Pour one and pull up a chair. 🍷#PoliticalPour #AffordabilityCrisis #CostOfLiving #TrumpNews #IranWar #ICE #GrahamPlatner #PoliticalCommentary #IndependentNews #BreakingNews #2026Politics #trumpadministration

    95% Say America Is in an AFFORDABILITY CRISIS — Trump Wants $87.6B MORE for the Iran War | The Political Pour Ep. 5

    A new Harris Poll for The Guardian just confirmed what most Americans already feel in their wallets: 95% say the U.S. is in an affordability crisis, and it's hitting Democrats, Republicans, and independents almost equally. Then the White House asks Congress for $87.6 billion — mostly to keep funding the Iran war — one day after the Senate voted to limit it. We break down where every dollar is going and who's actually paying for it. Plus: a documented, mounting death toll tied to federal task force and ICE enforcement operations — two more names added just this week — and (if it holds by air time) the collapse of Graham Platner's Maine Senate campaign after a rape allegation ended a run Democrats once saw as their best shot at flipping the seat. 🍷 THIS WEEK'S STORIES: 00:00 - Intro & Catching Up 00:00 - 95% Say It's an Affordability Crisis — New Harris Poll 00:00 - Trump Asks for $87.6 Billion, Mostly for the Iran War 00:00 - The Federal Task Force Death Toll Keeps Climbing 00:00 - Graham Platner's Senate Campaign Collapses 00:00 - Live Call-In 00:00 - Closing Thoughts 🎙️ FOLLOW THE POLITICAL POUR: Alexis: https://instagram.com/OutLoudWithAlex https://tiktok.com/@outloudwithalex Amanda: https://instagram.com/AmandaInformed https://tiktok.com/@amandainformed Watch us live on TikTok, listen on Apple Podcasts, and catch full episodes here every week.Pour one and pull up a chair. 🍷 #PoliticalPour #AffordabilityCrisis #CostOfLiving #TrumpNews #IranWar #ICE #GrahamPlatner #PoliticalCommentary #IndependentNews #BreakingNews #2026Politics #TrumpAdministration

    Delaney Hall Exposed | Is Trump Having a Stroke? | Republicans Break With Trump | Ep. 2

    Episode 2 of The Political Pour is live and we are not holding back. Tonight Alex and Amanda break down three stories the mainstream media keeps dancing around — and we brought a guest to the table for the one that hits closest to home. STORY 1 — DELANEY HALL: What is actually happening inside the largest immigration detention center on the East Coast? Over 300 detainees are on hunger strike. Congress members who went inside are calling the conditions inhumane. The government says everything is fine. But the New Jersey Attorney General just sued to get health inspectors through the door. We break it all down with a guest who has real skin in the game on this story. STORY 2 — IS TRUMP HAVING A STROKE? A neurologist went on record saying the observable signs are consistent with a left-brain stroke. He is not using his right arm in public events. He is falling asleep on camera. His medical report results from Walter Reed are being withheld. And 50 members of Congress just backed a 25th Amendment commission. We ask the questions nobody in cable news will ask. STORY 3 — THE GOP IS CRACKING: The SAVE Act voter ID bill just failed in the Senate for the second time — blocked by four of Trump's own Republican senators. Then 24 hours later, four House Republicans voted to strip Trump's war powers on Iran. Trump called them "bad Republicans" and "unpatriotic." The fractures inside the Republican Party are real, they are growing, and they matter for November. Plus our live call-in segment where the audience joins the conversation and goes out loud with us.
