  • Socialist Shocks New York: A New Dem Leader Emerges
    Jun 26 2025

    🎙️ Josh Holmes, Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan, and John Ashbrook break down a seismic week in politics! President Trump’s precision strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities delivers a masterclass in America First foreign policy—no U.S. casualties, Iran’s weak response fizzles, and NATO allies now pledge 5% GDP to defense, bowing to Trump’s leadership. 💪

    Democrats, meanwhile, spiral into chaos, embracing a socialist nominee in NYC, Zohran Mamdani. He's a radical who pushes abolishing police, prisons, and private health insurance while cheering state-run grocery stores. 😱

    Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries dodge condemning his extremism, exposing the Dems’ lurch toward socialism. 🔨 King of the Hill pits Smokin’ Joe Walsh against Cheri Jacobus in a hilarious showdown of unhinged takes. 🏆

    Brent Gardner from AFP joins the progrum to talk about the BBB and AFP's efforts to get results for the American people. 🗳️ Question of the day: Is the Democratic Party’s future just socialism?

    Jun 24 2025

    🎙️ Join Josh Holmes, Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan, and John Ashbrook as they analyze President Trump’s surgical strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, a bold move to neutralize a decades-long threat from the world’s top state sponsor of terrorism. 🇺🇸

    With no American casualties and Iran’s weak response, Trump’s team, including Marco Rubio and JD Vance, dunk on critics like Margaret Brennan. 💪

    Plus, the LA sheriff’s department is more worried about Iran than local crime?

    The crew also dives into the Big Beautiful Bill, securing border funding, tax cuts, and $1.7T in spending cuts.

    Why it matters: Americans demand strength, and Trump’s delivering.

  • Trump's Military Options: Is A Strike On Iran Necessary?
    Jun 19 2025

    🎙️ Michael Duncan, Comfortably Smug, and John Ashbrook tackle the Iran question: should Trump strike or seek peace? They explore the 50 years of context—Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution, the 444-day hostage crisis, Hezbollah’s 1983 Beirut bombing (241 US service members killed), and Qassem Soleimani’s IED attacks in Iraq. 🇮🇷 Guest Brian Hook, former Assistant Secretary of State, breaks down Israel’s surgical strikes on Iran’s proxies (Hamas, Hezbollah) and missile capabilities, exposing Iran’s weakened state. Will the Ayatollah take Trump’s off-ramp or face a bunker-buster on the Fordow nuclear facility? 🤔 On the lighter side, they roast Senator Padilla’s flop at a Kristi Noem event, Ilhan Omar’s unhinged ICE rants, and a WNBA brawl targeting Caitlin Clark. 🏀The “No Kings” protests get shredded—labeled anti-military and out-of-touch. Plus, a bizarre clip of a woman claiming she’s in an alternate timeline where Kamala Harris won! 😵‍💫 Question of the day: Does Trump strike Iran or negotiate peace?
