    The Future of Water

    Trade union activist Brendan Ogle joins Matt to discuss the potential for a public sector pay deal. Following an Irish Times column about water usage by veteran journalist Stephen Collins, they discuss Brendan’s involvement in the Right2Water campaign, its legacy, and his continued desire for a referendum to ensure water provision can never be privatised. They also look at the split among the far-left representatives in Dáil Éireann, and Brendan updates us on the ‘Stop the Game’ campaign ahead of the upcoming Ireland-Israel football matches.

    Bananas and Nuts

    British Prime Minister Andy Burnham rules out a United Ireland referendum; John Deasy and Lise Hand join Matt to discuss the Sinn Féin reaction, how happy Taoiseach Micheál Martin is likely to be at the development - given that he recently described the idea of a border poll as driving him bananas - and how much interest there genuinely is amongst Southern Irish voters in the prospects of a referendum. Also, they discuss the Dáil's recall to deal with the issue of excise on fuels and ask whether the deferral will be extended in November. They look at the political implications and reasons for doing this, as well as the budgetary implications.  Brought to you by The Greenman Group.

How Mark Carney has taken advantage of America's mobster approach to trade deals. Why Darline Graham is not suitable for the Senate, and the start of our preview of Trump's visit to Ireland.

    PTP America: What Natalie Harp Does for Trump

    Before Matt and Marion get to Natalie Harp, they discuss Donald Trump's relationship with Kim Jong Un and why he’s treating North Korea more favourably than South Korea. Then they turn to Jon Ossoff's apparently outrageous comments about Trump's special friend and travel companion, Natalie Harp. Why is the White House so upset? Could it be because Ossoff is landing many punches, even going beyond the Natalie innuendo? They also discuss Ossoff's makeup and Trump's horrendous treatment of female reporters. They get into the Natalie Harp story and ask legitimate questions about her mental health. Where is Melania? Who, remember, is Trump’s wife. They discuss the appalling conditions for sailors on the USS Abraham Lincoln, and Marion tells us about her experiences at Big Bend National Park in Texas and why Trump's plans there for the wall are of local and national significance.  Get in touch: mail@pathtopowerpodcast.com Follow Matt: https://twitter.com/cooper_m https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-cooper-615a1317 https://www.instagram.com/mattcooperlastword/
