1:27Macgregor says he expects little policy change despite the Republican electoral defeat.

Can a changed Congress change the course of a war? That question runs through Daniel Davis / Deep Dive's election-week discussions, from Robert Barnes on subpoenas and vetoes to John Mearsheimer's call to revive an agreement with Iran.

The most-watched of the week's 15 uploads was Davis's conversation with retired Army colonel Douglas Macgregor, reaching roughly 180,000 views. Macgregor offers little expectation of a policy turn: "The bottom line is, I'm not expecting a great deal to change. I just am not."

Davis puts that skepticism alongside exit polling about the Iran war and clips of commentators interpreting the Republican defeat. Marc Thiessen criticizes JD Vance's post-election remarks as disloyal; Ben Shapiro argues that the war's execution, rather than the case for confronting Iran, explains its unpopularity. Davis and Macgregor challenge those arguments, making the episode as much a review of the media response as of the election itself.

The freshest discussions now carry the strongest momentum. Mearsheimer's "Revive Iran's MOU Deal or Face a Forever War /John Mearsheimer" has the channel's highest daily viewing rate, followed by the Alastair Crooke conversation, "Trump: A Lame Duck With a Loaded Gun /Alastair Crooke".

Across the catalog, weekly views reached about 3.2 million, the largest total among the nearby military and geopolitics channels. Subscriber growth was modest, while daily viewing sits slightly above its usual pace. The week's emphasis has shifted from battlefield developments alone toward the practical question Barnes's episode poses: what a Democratic Congress can actually do about Trump's Iran policy.
