Ann Coulter on Why JD Vance Is the “Smarter Trump”

Known as "The Kingmaker", Ann Coulter calls it like she sees it and in this episode of CARLOS, she doesn’t hold back. In an unfiltered conversation, Coulter weighs in on Trump’s transformation, being picked up by Epstein, why she believes women shouldn’t be president, and so much more. Carlos Watson presses her on power, prejudice, loyalty, and contradiction; challenging her views while letting them breathe. The result is a rare and deeply human conversation with one of America’s most polarizing voices, revealing not just what Ann Coulter believes, but why she believes it.
