How 'Senile' Trump Is a Danger to Our Country: Rep | The Daily Beast Podcast

Joanna Coles speaks with Rep. Seth Moulton in a blistering, no-holds-barred conversation on the escalating crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, Moulton warns the U.S. is losing ground to Iran while accusing the Trump administration and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth of catastrophic missteps, legal overreach, and dangerous misinformation. He slams Trump as acting like a petulant child and becoming an increasing threat to U.S. troops, national security, and the economy, while unpacking the fallout from abandoning the Obama-era nuclear deal and the growing risk of a nuclear-armed Iran. From the reality behind so-called “ceasefires” to dysfunction in Washington, Moulton connects global instability to domestic political failure, outlines his Senate ambitions, and argues Democrats must embrace a new generation ready to confront AI, economic anxiety, and a rapidly shifting world. 00:00 - Trump’s Iran Crisis and Strait of Hormuz Chaos 04:31 - Why Trump Is Losing the War 09:00 - Pete Hegseth Under Fire as “Secretary of War” 12:05 - Iran’s Nuclear Program and the Fallout From Obama’s Deal 17:50 - Trump’s “Petulant Child” Politics and Cognitive Decline Concerns 22:41 - Is Trump Mentally and Physically Declining in Office? 27:18 - Seth Moulton’s Senate Campaign and the Democratic Party Divide 31:02 - AI, China, and the Future Democrats Need to Prepare For #trump #iran #news #podcast 📖 Title: How 'Senile' Trump Is a Danger to Our Country: Rep 👂 Podcast: The Daily Beast Podcast 📺 Episode: 693 🎧 Format: Full Podcast 📅 Date: May 6, 2026 👨‍💼 Guest: Rep.
