Summary

What happens when a sitting U.S. Senator, who’s also a former Navy SEAL, walks in and breaks down the Iran conflict with the kind of clarity you only get from someone who’s lived the GWOT? Everybody’s got a take on Iran. Almost nobody can explain it like this. The fellas — Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan, and John Ashbrook — listen to Senator Tim Sheehy to lay it out: why this moment feels like the culmination of a fight that’s been running for decades, why the “we’re starting a war” framing doesn’t match reality, and why the potential domestic ripple effects are concerning. In this episode… Sheehy’s Iran breakdown: proxies, deterrence, “finish the job” logic. PLUS, DHS funding fight and what’s at stake when the basics get politicized.Variety chaos: the kind of headline that makes you rewind to make sure you heard it right. The show swings to Ohio: the fellas sit down with Senator Jon Husted — a legit football guy with a national championship story — to talk the Ohio Senate race, how he pitches “grow the pie” economics, and why career and technical education is the part of the jobs debate that actually touches real families. Then we hit the rest of the mix: quick hits, clips, and the kind of cultural weirdness that only lands in this feed.

And I think for those of us who served during the GWAT, when we all knew we were fighting around the whole time, this had to happen. This should have been dealt with a long time ago. We did not start this war. They started this war, and it was a one-sided war from 1979 to 1983 of the Cobar Towers, the USS Coal and everything in between. They have been murdering our people ruthlessly and savagely, and the only response America's had has been sanctions.

Yeah. It just strikes me that that is potentially one of the most dangerous things that we're

0:32.4

facing right now is the possibility of radicalize people in this country who are here with a mission to try to

0:40.8

mess things up in America and terrorize our country in a way that we've not seen before.

0:45.8

This is the right thing to do.

0:47.3

It's the right time to do it.

And we're not starting on war with anyone.

I have been a physician for 35 years and sadly have had a front seat to witness the decay

and decline of the health insurance industry.

1:02.5

There has been systematic denial and delay of care.

1:06.6

There's been abuse with the Medicare Advantage plans, deceiving and extorting taxpayer dollars.

You guys own PBMs. You own pharmacies. You own health agencies. Physician groups.

1:18.6

Good God, you own a bank.

1:21.6

I have had patients cry in my room.

1:24.6

I have had physicians cry to me, throw up their hands in disgust and quit

1:29.9

because of actions of our health insurance industry. You are killing people who are trying to

1:36.8

get health care. You have put profits above patients and you have put profits above those who care

for patients.

Well, you saved up your money and bought a new car.

1:59.0

You drove it off the lot and parked it at your house, and you probably think you own it.
