3/3/26 9AM: The True Cost of War
from The Truth with Sherwin Hughes · host Sherwin Hughes
Sherwin opens the show by breaking down what a war with Iran would actually cost American taxpayers. From impeachment talk to comparisons with Vietnam, he argues that even if Trump were impeached, removal wouldn’t happen — and the financial consequences of war would still fall on the public. He walks line-by-line through the biggest expenses of military conflict and contrasts them with what universal healthcare, free college, or expanded veterans’ support would cost instead — asking whether America’s priorities are truly about security or something else.
