  • Inside the War Room with Admiral Stavridis: How Presidents Decide to Strike

    Inside the War Room with Admiral Stavridis: How Presidents Decide to Strike
    Feb 23 2026
    Is the United States on the brink of striking Iran? Michael is joined by Admiral James Stavridis, former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO, to break down President Trump’s options—from diplomacy and cyber operations to limited precision strikes and the possibility of “shock and awe.” With massive U.S. forces already deployed, has America ever prepared this much firepower without pulling the trigger? Then, listeners weigh in—including sailors and submariners who describe the real-life toll of extended deployments: missed funerals, months without sunlight, and the strain on military families. A powerful conversation about war planning, presidential decision-making, and the human cost of staying ready. Original air date 23 February 2026. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

  • Today's Poll Question: Should the FCC Enforce “Equal Time”? The Colbert Controversy Explained

    Today's Poll Question: Should the FCC Enforce “Equal Time”? The Colbert Controversy Explained
    Feb 23 2026
    Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: "Should licensed broadcast radio and television stations have to give equal time to competing political candidates?" A Stephen Colbert interview with Texas Senate candidate James Talarico has reignited debate over the FCC’s nearly century-old equal time rule. After CBS lawyers raised concerns about triggering the regulation, Colbert cried foul — and the controversy exploded online. Michael breaks down what the rule actually says, how it differs from the Fairness Doctrine, and whether “spectrum scarcity” still justifies government oversight in today’s media landscape. Is this selective enforcement, political pressure, or simply the law being applied? And in an era of unlimited media choices, should balanced coverage be the government’s job — or ours?
