Hello and welcome to the Bullwark podcast.

I'm your host, Tim Miller.

We got a banger doubleheader show for you today.

A lot's happening in the news.

In segment two, we have Josh

Turek, who won the Iowa Democratic Senate primary last night. He'll take on Ashley Hinson and the

general. Much to talk about there. That could be a key race for control of the Senate. But first,

he'll be the newest co-anchor on MS Now, is the week, starting on Monday, June 15th at 7 p.m. You might remember him. He took a leave of absence from the media in 2016 and went on a three-year-sixth continent travel expedition. That led to his book, Look for me there, grieving my father, finding myself. We shied about that a while back now it's a luc

russard what's up man and it also led me to seeing you in the usf gonzaga basketball game in san

francisco which was a fantastic evening where we saw chet holmgren at the height of his college

you know euphoria and i'd say he's he's looked better since then he's put on some muscles it shows you that you know, euphoria. And I'd say he's, he's looked better since then. He's put on some muscles. It shows you that, you know, if you have a good base, you can build up to great things. That is true. That was, that was just... Albeit his last game was not very good. He already has the ring, though. That's all that matters. That was a delightful little bit of laying up on your journey i i was going to say the opposite of what you said about chet i think that we saw the weaknesses that were exposed in the western conference finals i believe he has to go to the weight room and he has to eat with me for about a year to get where he needs to be but he's getting there it's not but he's going to get the ring he's going to get the ring. He's going to hit the max contract.

You know, he's all good. He's having a great career. I've got a little bit more on basketball and you traveling the world like Khan at the end of the podcast here. But there's a lot happening in the news, as mentioned, we had the primary night last night. But I think first, we should start with what's happening in the Middle East. So an Iranian missile hit the Kuwait airport last night. But I think first, we should start with what's happening in the Middle East. So an Iranian

missile hit the Kuwait airport last night. There are also Iranian attacks in Bahrain and on an

oil tanker near Dubai. These were in response to a U.S. attack on an island near the Strait of Hormuz.

A lot of bombing, a lot of drones for a war that is over, according to the Secretary of State. In his testimony yesterday, most notably, I think that Kuwait attack left one dead, many injured. The airport wreckage looks horrible. And on the board this like this morning, General Hurtling flagged for me that this is the airport the most U.S. servicemen come in and out of. He's been through there a bunch. So it's kind of a relevant location for what our troops are doing in the Middle East. So it seems like the war is still on, to me, and kind of in the war on, war off, you know, kind of Wayne's World thing we got going on. Yeah, I mean, I'll take a step back further.

I think the reason why we went to war is still not clear.

What they've landed on is that the United States had to stop Iran's nuclear capabilities.

That's something that's been ongoing for decades.

That was something that President Obama and his team worked through that deal, which seemingly was having success prior to it being ripped up. So you're left to wonder why we're actually

in this war. And I think that the prevailing theory is that the president got duped by his

luxury real estate partners into going to war with Iran. I got a call from, you know,

Jay Kush and MBS and was like, hey, let's just do this. It's going to reform the region.
