Episode notes
MAGA Coalition Splits Over Iran Strikes
- MAGA's America First promise is fracturing as U.S. strikes on Iran produce American casualties and internal backlash.
- Scott Galloway cites JD Vance's prior pitch of “started no wars” now under pressure after strikes and rising troop deaths.
Antiwar MAGA Voices Are Vocal And Punitive
- A vocal America First wing (Fuentes, Tucker, Matt Walsh) feels betrayed and is publicly defecting or threatening not to vote.
- Jessica Tarlov emphasizes these voices reflect a broader anti-war expectation that promised isolationism.
