The conversation addresses Trump's reported desires to deploy the National Guard and armed personnel to polling places, evaluating whether state-level election officials can serve as an effective safeguard against federal overreach. Whipple shares insights from his ten months speaking with White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, exploring whether she can serve as the ultimate guardrail or if her tight bond with Trump renders her ineffective in stopping retribution and pardons for insurrectionists.
