7/8 Trump Restarts War on Iran & Cozies Up to Erdoğan at NATO Summit w/ Oğul Tuna

July 8, 2026

The Emmajority Report week continues

On today’s program:

Donald Trump is still at the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey

Trump has reignited his war on Iran, calling their leadership scum and cuckoo. This is a very different tone for Trump who only a month ago was calling Iranian leadership rational and very intelligent people.

Trump’s deterioration continues as he confuses Iran and Japan in saying the “Islamic Republic of Japan”.  Trump went on to say that Obama picked the “wrong country” in regard to the JCPOA. Your guess is as good as mine on what that means.

Oğul Tuna, historian and writer, joins the program to discuss his piece in Jacobin: “Turkey’s Key Role in NATO is No Contradiction“. Tuna also discusses Trump’s remarks on Turkey at the NATO summit and more.

In the Fun Half:

Abdul El-Sayed drubs Haley Stevens in a Michigan Democratic primary debate.

Scott Jennings doubles down on his alleged phone call with the reportedly brain-dead Senator Mitch McConnell.

Ken Paxton was spotted trotting around London with his mistress.

Canadian leader of Conservative party parrots Pete Hegseth‘s call for a “warrior culture, not woke culture”.

Patrick Bet-David kicks the tires on the idea of billionaires having hundreds of children. The conversation is even dumber than it sounds.

All that and more.
