Summary

Tim joined Katy Tur to talk about the backlash from the “podcast right” over a potential Iran conflict. If those newer, anti-war voters peel away—or simply stay home—it could reshape the politics around Trump’s base. They also discussed immigration, where Republicans are starting to get nervous about the real-world impact of mass deportation policies.

Saga and Jetty. If you missed that, go check it out. We talk about like, in what ways this

0:54.0

is going to hurt Trump? And I think that sometimes people wrongly think that, like, the scales are going to fall from the eyes of the red hat people that show up to the rallies. And that is not what I expect. I think that there is a category of people that, for some godforsaken reason, joined Trump for the third election.

But I think there's also a category of people that are just going to be like, fist, screw you, Trump, and aren't going to show up.

1:20.0

And that creates real political problems, unfortunately not really for Trump himself, but for the rest of the Republicans, which we can take some solace in since they
