From Iran Strategy to TSA Chaos: Go Inside With Mark Halperin

from The Smerconish Podcast · host Mark Halperin, Michael Smerconish

Michael sits down with political analyst Mark Halperin to unpack a turbulent moment in Washington — from Joe Kent’s sudden resignation and growing divisions inside the GOP to the escalating conflict with Iran. Was there truly an “imminent threat,” or is the administration struggling to justify its actions? Halperin breaks down what the White House knew, how the politics are shifting, and whether Trump can win back skeptical independents. Plus, a look at what’s flying under the radar — from a possible Russia-Ukraine deal to domestic turmoil impacting everyday Americans who are headed to long lines at the airport.
