Rep. Adam Smith joins Chris Stirewalt on The Hill Sunday to discuss the war in Iran, arguing Congress has the power to stop the conflict by blocking funding — just as lawmakers helped end the Vietnam War.

Rep. Tom Cole joins Chris Stirewalt on The Hill Sunday to discuss the war with Iran, warning Democrats against using shutdowns or funding fights during wartime.
