Summary

It’s official, the MAGA meltdown has begun. As Trump stumbles toward another foreign policy disaster, this time with Iran, some of his most loyal far-right cheerleaders are suddenly slamming the brakes. Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Charlie Kirk… yes, those people… are now speaking out against Trump's reckless escalation and apparent thirst for war. Is this a principled stand or just performative outrage? Either way, the MAGA movement is eating itself, and we’re here for the chaos. Join us as we unpack the growing rift inside Trump’s base, the danger of this Iran brinkmanship, and why even the worst people sometimes get something right… accidentally. Bring snacks. It’s gonna be messy. This episode is brought to you by MSI United States. Every woman deserves a choice. Rush your donation today to MSIUNITEDSTATES.ORG, or text "LEMON" to 511 511.
