Trump Sinks to 32%
Summary
Hosts Dean Blundell and Zeeph discuss Trump’s plummeting approval ratings and the looming "Nixon zone" ahead of the midterms, predicting a Republican bloodbath. They analyze the diplomatic fallout from Trump’s disastrous UN speech, where world leaders condemned US policies on Gaza and Iran, and cover the DOJ’s failed legal defense for banning major news outlets. The episode also highlights Xi Jinping’s arrival for a summit, with the hosts criticizing Trump’s fawning behavior toward foreign autocrats while simultaneously attacking Canada.
