While he's not wrong, it's not to cover war crimes like past presidents, but to grift uncontrollably for self enrichment. They pivot to the New Hampshire primary and how it's Nikki Haley's last stand while Ron DeSantis bails for South Carolina. And they finish with a discussion about the latest events in the Middle East as tensions are high and hostilities are expanding. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
