Show notes

🎙️ Michael Duncan, Comfortably Smug, and John Ashbrook tackle the Iran question: should Trump strike or seek peace?

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?
