Ross Douthat Grills Trump

Bryan Curtis and Joel Anderson break down Ross Douthat’s 60 Minutes interview with Donald Trump, examining Douthat’s aggressive follow-ups, his questioning of Trump’s cryptocurrency business and immigration policies, and the religion-themed closing that highlighted the president’s fixation on punishing his political enemies. They also survey the early maneuvering around the 2028 presidential race, roast The Free Press’s erroneous claim that Abdul El-Sayed delivered his victory speech in Arabic, debate the expansion of the College Football Playoff to 24 teams, and assess Dianna Russini’s return to NFL media with BetUS.
