Summary

Cheeky and Andrew discuss Donald Trump’s latest Time magazine interview, noting his obsession with legacy media prestige and his incoherent claims about his own IQ. The hosts critique Trump’s chilling justification for the Iran war, where he argues that annihilating the entire Iranian population is necessary to achieve world peace. They also highlight his contradictory shifting of the blame for the war’s duration to the press and his petulant refusal to answer questions about potential pardons for administration members.
