The War We Can't Afford - The Weekend Primetime - MS NOW



Trump says the war with Iran is one we can't afford to lose. But as it turns out, it might just be a war we can't afford. According to two Congressional sources, the war is coming with a minimum price tag of roughly one billion dollars a day - and it's climbing higher. That includes asking top weapons manufacturers to increase production as the U.S. is using missiles faster than we can make them.

Major General Randy Manner, Former Acting Vice Chief of the National Guard Bureau, joins the show to discuss the cost of the U.S. war with Iran, and the potential consequences for the American people. - Aired on 03/07/2026.
