Josh Holmes, Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan, and John Ashbrook are back, and this one goes all in.

We kick things off with the wildest story in the world right now: the alleged “Gayatollah” intel bombshell out of Iran. Is this real life? Is this the weirdest regime collapse subplot imaginable? And why does every new detail somehow get even crazier?

In this episode…

The “Gayatollah” story and the internet’s total destruction of the new Iranian leader

CNN’s absurdly soft coverage of the regime

Joy Reid comparing America to Iran

The media lies stacking up since the conflict began

PLUS, THE NINTH CIRCUIT JUST WROTE “SWINGING DICKS” INTO A JUDICIAL DISSENT.

We also get into the latest Democrat excuses; a would-be Senate candidate trying to explain away a scandalous skull tattoo, the Oscars’ insane eligibility rules, and one more brutal Harry Enten segment that shows just how deep the hole is for Democrats right now.

Question of the Day: What’s the most outlandish media lie you’ve seen since the Iran conflict started? Drop it in the comments.
