Episode notes
Morgan Spector Praise Sparks Tension
- Bob recounts Morgan Spector praising international law and Danny's focus on it, which hit Danny's ego.
- The exchange foreshadows a paid 'overtime' debate where tensions escalate.
China Manufactured Leverage, Won Concessions
- The Trump-Xi meeting mostly traded short-lived Chinese measures for tangible U.S. tariff relief, leaving China with little real concession.
- Bob and Daniel argue Trump gained visible wins while China largely reversed recent retaliatory steps.
Nuclear Testing Claim Was Mostly Posturing
- Trump's public claim to resume nuclear testing was confused and likely based on mishearing or misreporting of foreign tests.
- The hosts think media attention will amplify a largely meaningless headline without real policy change.
