J.D. Vance on Rogan
Summary
Dave Smith and Rob Bernstein critique Vice President JD Vance’s Joe Rogan appearance, calling it a political disaster where he failed to satisfy either the Israel lobby or anti-war listeners. They argue Vance’s refusal to condemn the Iran war and his defense of the flawed Memorandum of Understanding reveal his lack of conviction and desire for the presidency. The hosts also discuss their Nashville tour and praise the new media landscape for allowing such unfiltered political discourse.
