Donald Trump's costly Iran surrender, socialists surge in the midterms, and Ossoff-mania grips 2028

Donald Trump's costly Iran surrender, socialists surge in the midterms, and Ossoff-mania grips 2028

Today on Nobody Knows Anything, Jesse is joined by special guest host Kyle Tharp — writer of the Chaotic ERA newsletter, filling in while Rob jets between US World Cup games. They go deep on Trump's $300 billion Iran "peace deal," a foreign policy blunder that has even Senate Republicans grumbling, though Jesse admits the small part of him that's just relieved to finally be getting the hell out. From there it's on to the home front, where a socialist surge is rolling through the midterms and the Georgia races have gone wild — from Rick Jackson buying himself a gubernatorial nomination to Democrats landing their dream opponent against Jon Ossoff. That leads into the great "are Ossoff's rallies even real?" debate as 2028 heats up, the murky world of secretly paid political influencers, and the nationwide data center backlash — including the Virginia civil war between Louise Lucas and "data center diva" Abigail Spanberger. Kyle also breaks down why Substack has become a big blue liberal bubble, and the guys count down Trump's five worst nicknames of all time.

Donald Trump's love affair (with inflation), post-primary Graham Platner, and Wes Moore tells all

This week on Nobody Knows Anything, Rob and Jesse break down the breaking news on Donald Trump's new Director of National Intelligence, as well as the latest on the war in Iran (spoiler alert: it's not great!) and how Trump loves the inflation it has caused (his words, not ours).  They also discuss the latest in two of this cycle's buzziest Senate races: the implications of Chuck Schumer's endorsement of Haley Stevens in Michigan, and how Graham Platner continues to campaign after his primary victory in Maine. PLUS: Jesse walks through half a dozen other races that you should keep an eye on, and Rob and Jesse debate how Wes Moore has handled the inconsistencies in his personal story.

Donald Trump’s live TV meltdown, Graham Platner ignores our advice, and Harris and Gavin’s beef revealed

Donald Trump sits down with Kristen Welker for a Meet the Press interview that goes completely sideways - defending the January 6th rioters as his "dudes," insisting the election was stolen, and ultimately storming off the set. Jesse and Rob unpack whether this is just Trump being Trump or something more, and why a president stuck at 35% is making nervous Republicans suddenly very eager to keep their distance. Plus: The Graham Platner saga refuses to die. Jesse and Rob watch 2028 hopefuls - Ro Khanna, AOC, Chris Murphy, Raphael Warnock - tie themselves in knots over the embattled Maine candidate, while Janet Mills runs the strangest non-campaign in living memory (she won't even tell you to vote for her). Finally: a 2028 whip-around on the not-so-secret frenemy-ship between Gavin Newsom and Kamala Harris, and Nancy Mace's total meltdown after Trump endorses her opponent in the South Carolina governor's race!

Is Graham Platner cooked? Is Mississippi in play? (with Senate nominee Scott Colom!)

The New York Times bombshell on Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner that's had DC buzzing all week finally dropped. Jesse and Rob discuss whether the oysterman is cooked, and how Dems should handle the quasi-crisis in this must-win race. Plus: Results from the biggest primary day of 2026 are in – except in California, which will be counting votes for weeks. What did we learn? Among other things, a lot about a Kansas sex-tech investor who might be Iowa's next governor. Finally, Jesse and Rob welcome Mississippi Senate nominee Scott Colom to the pain cave, and come away thinking he could turn the state blue. (Yes, really!)
