Cancel Culture Run Amok? Bob Kerrey Sounds the Alarm

from The Smerconish Podcast · host Bob Kerrey, Michael Smerconish

Former Nebraska Governor and U.S. Senator Bob Kerrey joins Michael for a candid, wide-ranging conversation. Kerrey addresses his past meeting with Jeffrey Epstein and the fallout that led him to resign from a corporate board, weighs in on cancel culture and free speech on campus, and shares blunt thoughts on Iran, war powers, and whether Congress should vote before military action. The Medal of Honor recipient also opens up about his recent medical struggles, recovery, and why he credits “socialized medicine” at the VA for saving him from financial ruin. At 82, Kerrey is as sharp — and unfiltered — as ever. Original air date 5 March 2026. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
