Iran War Causes Huge MAGA vs. MAGA Fight | MAGA Mondays

The Iran war has created a significant and unusual split within the MAGA base, with 14-15% of self-identified Trump supporters expressing disapproval. This level of dissent is notably higher than typical, where opposition to Trump's actions usually hovers around 5%. This internal disagreement is a rare challenge to Trump's perceived unified support.

Polls taken early in the war showed 14-15% of Trump voters were not with him on the issue, compared to higher Democratic dissent during the Afghanistan withdrawal. The host notes this is an anomaly for MAGA, usually seeing only 5% dissent.

Trump's handling of the Iran war appears to prioritize public messaging and perception over direct engagement with battle plans or diplomatic efforts. He reportedly spends considerable time calling various reporters, including those from 'C-list' conservative outlets, to convey a positive narrative about the war's progress, while also relying on potentially misleading internal polling suggesting overwhelming public support.

Trump called mainstream and 'random' conservative reporters for 7-8 minutes at a time, stating 'Hey, it's going great. Bye.' Tucker Carlson reported Trump was shown polling indicating 90% support for the war, which Carlson disputes.

The Iran war has intensified a 'civil war' within right-wing media. Tucker Carlson actively tried to persuade Trump against the war and continues to subtly criticize the administration's stance, implying external influence ('the spell') is driving the conflict. Conversely, figures like Mark Levin are aggressively pushing for the expulsion of anti-war voices like Carlson and Candace Owens from the Republican Party, framing their views as anti-Semitic and a threat to the party's electoral success.

Tucker Carlson openly stated his White House trips were to avert the Iran war and questioned the 90% support polling. Mark Levin issued an ultimatum to the House GOP to 'kick Tucker and Candace out' to avoid losing midterms, citing anti-Semitism.

The Florida Republican Party is grappling with multiple controversies that expose extremist elements and perceived hypocrisy. A group of young GOP operatives was found to have an 'insanely racist' and anti-Semitic group chat called 'Gooning in Agartha,' containing violent rhetoric. Simultaneously, Senator Marco Rubio was photographed with Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys, raising questions about the party's sincerity in condemning extremism when high-profile members associate with such figures.

Details of the 'Gooning in Agartha' group chat, described as containing 'truly the most shocking' racist and violent messages. Rick Scott condemned the chat, stating 'Racist and anti-semmites are not welcome in the Republican party.' Marco Rubio was photographed with Enrique Tarrio, the Proud Boys leader involved in January 6th planning.

Donald Trump's sons, Eric and Donald Jr., are entering the drone business by investing in 'Power Us,' a company aiming to meet Pentagon demand. The hosts highlight the lack of prior experience in military drone technology and the use of a golf course company as a vehicle for this merger, suggesting a clear potential for influence peddling and lucrative government contracts due to their family connections.

The Wall Street Journal reported on the Trump brothers investing in Power Us, a drone company. The company they are merging with is a golf course company. The host jokes about Pete Hegseth wanting to keep his job, implying political pressure for contracts.
