Episode notes
Why Scaramucci Thinks The Iran War Escalates
- Anthony Scaramucci predicts escalation because key U.S. demands clash with Iran’s core doctrine and survival logic.
- He says Iran will not recognize Israel or abandon nuclear capacity, and could instead choke the Strait of Hormuz and outlast stronger militaries.
Vance And Rubio Were On The Same Side
- Scaramucci argues the real White House split was anti-war Vance and Rubio versus Trump, not Vance versus Rubio.
- He says both were sidelined after pushing diplomacy, while Iran signaled it preferred talking to Vance through Pakistan.
Trump Cares More About Wealth Than GOP Wins
- Scaramucci says Trump knows the bad news and simply does not care if Republicans lose, because attention and self-enrichment matter more.
- He claims the family aims to become "the richest family in the world" and alleges trades around oil-moving presidential statements.
