Episode notes
Superficial Damage from Iran Strikes
- Intelligence reports show Trump's airstrikes on Iran caused only superficial damage to nuclear sites.
- This undermines claims of complete obliteration and suggests only a minor setback for Iran's nuclear program.
Trump's NATO Summit Appearance
- Trump appeared diminished and depressed at the NATO summit amid criticism and poor poll numbers.
- His insistence that Iran's sites were obliterated conflicts with intelligence and political reality.
Immigration-Industrial Complex Profits
- Trump's mass deportation policies fuel private detention contractors profiting from minimum occupancy guarantees.
- This creates a lucrative 'immigration-industrial complex' monetizing human suffering and legal violations.
