Can Trump Settle With Himself? Rubio’s ICC War, Hegseth’s Purge, and the DSA Left
About this episode
The episode discusses Trump's legal battles, Rubio's campaign against the ICC, military leadership changes, and the Democratic Socialists' electoral successes.
This supporters’ exclusive midweek episode begins with a remarkable question: can a president sue his own government, negotiate with his own Justice Department, and call the result a legitimate settlement? Mike and Michael Levy unpack the judge’s ruling in Trump v. IRS, then turn to Marco Rubio’s campaign to dismantle the International Criminal Court, Pete Hegseth’s removal of senior military leaders and push for testosterone screening, and the Democratic Socialists’ recent primary victories. Are Democrats facing their own Tea Party insurgency—or a movement whose appeal collapses outside deep-blue districts?
