Scott talks to Eric Eikenberry about the war in Yemen and the various efforts to stop it. A small cadre in the House of Representatives has been trying to introduce resolutions that would invoke the War Powers Act, but so far have met with little success. Eikenberry thinks that popular opinion is beginning to turn sharply against the war, thanks in part to the American media beginning to focus on it. If this shift continues, he thinks the resolutions have a chance at success.
Discussed on the show:
- H.Con.Res.138
- H.Con.Res.81
- S.J.Res.54
- Jamal Khashoggi
- Mohammad bin Salman
- Friends Committee on National Legislation
- Win Without War

- Mwatana
