Would You Pay $1,000 to Stop Iran From Getting a Nuclear Weapon?

Michael Smerconish welcomes former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Admiral James Stavridis for a wide-ranging conversation on the latest developments in Iran, the Strait of Hormuz, the fragile ceasefire, President Trump's Middle East strategy, and America's standing in the world ahead of the nation's 250th anniversary. Then, Michael turns to listeners with a provocative question: if preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon costs the average American household $1,000, would it be worth paying? The responses reveal just how divided Americans remain on war, diplomacy, and national security. Original air date 30 June 2026. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
