What Comes Next In Iran? w/ Sen. Kennedy

Trump green-lights the strike on Iran—and Washington instantly splits into two camps: strength vs. “what did you just start?”

So what’s the real play here… and do you trust Trump’s plan, or are we walking into the world’s messiest endgame?

The fellas—Josh Holmes, Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan, and John Ashbrook—jump in fast, cutting through the spin and asking the questions everyone’s thinking but nobody on cable will touch.

In this episode…

Trump’s Iran strike and the nuclear clock

Why China and Russia stay weirdly quiet

DHS shutdown chaos vs. “big boy stuff” reality

A palate-cleanser that somehow gets even more unhinged

Special Guests: Senator John Kennedy + Brian Hook

🇺🇸 Kennedy on why Trump owns the moment—and why Capitol Hill can’t stop making it political

🧠 Hook on the 1979 origin story, proxies, missiles, and why “negotiations” so often turn into a time-buying trap
