One week after the blue tsunami, Benni and Basil break down the growing split between Nick Fuentes and JD Vance's 2028 campaign: the Wall Street Journal reporting donors drifting from Vance to Ron DeSantis and Marco Rubio, John Podhoretz blaming Vance for courting the Groypers, Nick's surprise appearance at Joel Webbon's event talking about "dark horses," and why the John McEntee meme proves you can meme-magic a protest candidate into the Republican primary. Then the psyop: Ted Cruz, Mark Levin and Dave Rubin all boosting an old Nick Fuentes clip in the same week, Patrick Casey's "anti-Vance coalition" post, Keith Woods' "Last of the Planicans," Captive Dreamer taking off his MAGA hat, and Will Sommer at The Bulwark quoting Basil without saying his name (again). We also look at American Ascent, the new Claremont-backed MAGA group with Tyler Bowyer on its board, and ask the only question that matters: would it purge or defend young leaders found to be fans of Nick Fuentes? Plus Turning Point USA's campaign to cancel Jennifer Welch's "I've Had It" podcast after losing nearly every race it touched, the Unfuck America Tour turning the tables on TPUSA, and Steve Bannon claiming the GOP lost because voters didn't treat Charlie Kirk as a martyr. Also this week: Trump telling 60 Minutes that his deportation policy was "too tough" and that JD Vance was part of the Iran war decision, Stephen Miller's plan as the new chief of staff to win back young men, Susie Wiles' PPO hires and her daughter's hemp lobby payment, Howard Lutnick stalling the Nvidia chip-smuggling probe, Alex Bruesewitz vs. Laura Loomer on paid influencers, the O'Keefe Awards at Mar-a-Lago and Harmeet Dhillon, Mark Levin's meltdown over Chris Menahan, the Manhattan Institute's Jesse Arm, Alex Karp declaring Palantir progressive, Ashley St. Clair's allegations against Elon Musk, Jensen Huang's affair with a suspected Chinese spy and his exit from Nvidia, Taylor Lorenz on the data center backlash, Microsoft's live speech rewriting patent, Dario Amodei's cure-everything IPO pitch, Pete Hegseth surviving impeachment, and the Democrats' fight over Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker.

Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, and Elon Musk want to “pace” AI right before the IPO window; Palantir’s Alex Karp says no, because China. Obama and Bernie Sanders pile onto the anti-AI lane.

Laura Ingraham asks about demoralized young men and gets an Iran talking point. The RNC rolls out John Fetterman as “based” while he still backs abortion with no limits, “trans kids,” gun control, and votes against the SAVE Act and the One Big Beautiful Bill — plus the Wall Street Journal FARA story on Israel’s embassy drafting his op-ed. Joe Lonsdale of Palantir debates Joe Allen on AI education, calls parents who don’t want AI teaching their kids “leftists,” and then spends 90 seconds sniffing into the mic. James Talarico suddenly supports a national ban on transgender surgeries for minors. Elon Musk is looking at $50–$200 million for Ken Paxton in Texas.
