Is America Armed And Ready For Conflict After Iran?

Is America Armed And Ready For Conflict After Iran?

Author: FOX News Radio March 27, 2026 Duration: 34:10
President Trump says the U.S. is negotiating with Iran while claiming the United States is “way ahead of schedule” with military operations against the regime. However, questions are mounting in Washington over whether the military has the funding and weaponry needed to successfully end the conflict while maintaining readiness for other potential global threats. Texas GOP Congressman and retired U.S. Air Force Reserve Colonel August Pfluger joins the Rundown to discuss the president’s handling of the operation and the Air Force’s pivotal role. He also explains what must be done to ensure the U.S. military has the munitions and personnel necessary to fight this conflict—and future wars. Award-winning actor Gary Sinise, famously known for his role as Lieutenant Dan in Forrest Gump, has devoted decades of his life to helping veterans, first responders, and their families. But his passion for honoring those who served our country—especially the young Americans who went to Vietnam—began long before he portrayed that iconic character. Sinise joins FOX News Senior Correspondent Benjamin Hall to discuss a lifetime of advocacy for the nation’s defenders, from his early support for Vietnam veterans in the 1980s to the upcoming 15th anniversary of the Gary Sinise Foundation. Sinise reflects on the "turning point" of 9/11 that accelerated his mission and shares the impact of building over 100 specially adapted, mortgage-free smart homes for severely wounded service members. Plus, they look ahead to a major "Welcome Home" celebration in D.C. for National Vietnam War Veterans Day, as Sinise explains why it is never too late to say "thank you" to those who never received a proper welcome home.
