11/9/26: Trump Knifes JD Vance Over Iran, Saagar Blasts MAHA Freakout Over Calley Means On Rogan, Hegseth Impeachment Looms
Summary
This episode analyzes Trump’s subdued 60 Minutes interview, where he blamed the Iran war and gas prices for midterm losses while offering a potential immigration deal. The hosts argue that his appointment of Stephen Miller as Chief of Staff signals a strategic pivot toward legal defense against impending investigations rather than policy conciliation. They also discuss Callie Means’ resignation and corruption allegations against Susie Wiles, asserting that Trump bears direct responsibility for the administration’s pro-corporate and corrupt decisions.
