- Controversial Appointments: Meyers highlights the backlash following Trump’s nomination of Bill Py—who has no intelligence experience—as acting director of national intelligence, noting how even some Republicans were left speechless or tried to avoid commenting on the pick (5:45-8:27).
- Endorsements and Losses: The segment discusses Trump’s pattern of claiming all his endorsees win, while pointing out high-profile losses and the recent primary defeat of his preferred candidate in Iowa to businessman Zack Lane, whose ties to a sex-toy company are highlighted (9:27-12:56).
