War Costs Skyrocket as Pentagon Seeks $200B and Congress Pushes Back 3/19/26

from The Mark Thompson Show · host The Mark Thompson Show

The price of Trump’s Iran war may be about to explode. The Pentagon is quietly pushing for a staggering $200 billion funding request to Congress—far beyond what’s been spent so far—as U.S. and Israeli strikes intensify and weapons stockpiles run low. Inside the White House, there’s doubt the request can even pass, and on Capitol Hill, resistance is already building. Lawsuits related to the Trump administration are flying. Former federal prosecutor, now defense attorney, David Katz will join us to examine the latest from the ongoing efforts by Trump to resurrect his tariff policies to the latest legal decisions on the retribution cases he had the DOJ bring against his foes.
