If you spend too much time on Twitter or get your news from the liberal mainstream media, you may have gotten the impression that the President’s supporters are abandoning him in droves over Operation Epic Fury, his war to prevent your grandchildren from having to face off against a nuclear-armed Iran.
Of course, as readers of this Substack know well, this is fiction. We now have 12 polls showing that though the majority of these “influencers” believe the war in Iran to be something the Israelis duped Trump into, 80-90% of Republican voters support it.
It turns out, many of the self-appointed MAGA influencers have no influence—not on the President, nor on his followers.
A new poll even asked point blank who Republicans trusted more—Tucker Carlson, or the President? The results were pretty decisive: 84% Trump, 6% Carlson.
I based the opening monologue of my show on the gap between the content creators and the people they pretend to represent, and was honored to have Ben Shapiro join me to react.
Subscribers can watch our full conversation here. We discussed how Ben won the podcast wars, as well as the actually important war—Iran—how it’s going, the myths surrounding it in the mainstream media, and whether Ben would support boots on the ground.
