    Sex, Alcohol, and Irish Politics

    Matt is joined by Danny McConnell and John Lee, who distinguish between Jeffrey Donaldson's illegal acts and his inappropriate ones, but ask how often inappropriate acts by Irish politicians get overlooked by the media. They examine some of the most high-profile events of the 21st century that did get media attention and why others didn't. Micheál Martin's erosion of authority, security issues with Trump's likely September visit, the strange results of the Red C poll on immigration, and the discrepancies on the Mayor of Galway's website.

    PTP America: No Fun at Trump's Fair

    As the US celebrates its 250th birthday, Matt and Marion profess their love for the United States but despair at the direction it has taken over the last decade. They discuss how Trump and his offspring keep getting richer while no one shouts stop. They assess a dramatic week of important Supreme Court decisions: where Trump won and lost on immigration, campaign funding, the sexual assault of E. Jean Carroll, and the ruling on the weedkiller Roundup. They also discuss the 'swatting' of Pete Buttigieg, the articulate Democrat Republicans hate for that and because he is gay, the attempts to smear James Talarico in Texas, Marion's personal experience in the Lone Star State and its fears of invasion. And will Taylor Swift be the July 4th wedding?

    Genocide and Complicity

    Fintan Drury has become an active campaigner on behalf of the people of Palestine. He has written his second book about Gaza called 'Genocide'. He joins Matt to discuss the meaning of the term, the complicity of the Western world, why being against the actions of Israel should not be misdescribed as anti-semitic, and Ireland's role in expressing opposition. As someone long involved in football, he explains why he doesn't want our national team to play against Israel in International football. As a former businessman who chaired Paddy Power bookmakers, he discusses his role in a campaign to restrict gambling harm. He also talks about his role as chair of SARI (Sport Against Racism Ireland) and his upset at how corporate Ireland has failed to take its anti-racism responsibilities seriously.

    Donaldson's Depravity and His Toxic Politics

    Former Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Áine Kerr join Matt to discuss Jeffrey Donaldson's appalling crimes and what he put his victims through by denying his guilt. They look at his political career and how he was a malign influence for more than forty years. They discuss Nigel Farage and whether his acceptance of a £5 million gift has scuttled his chance of becoming a prime minister. They discuss the departure of Keir Starmer, assess the likelihood of Andy Burnham doing a good job, and the timing of the general election he will call. They debate whether the decriminalisation of the possession of drugs would be a good idea or not, and weigh in on the importance or not of Ireland hosting the EU Presidency.

    PTP America: From a Swamp to a Reflecting Pool

    Donald Trump promised to drain the swamp, but now he can’t even clean up a reflecting pool. It’s a metaphor for his presidency: whatever Trump touches gets worse. Matt and Marion discuss the many revelations in a major new book by two New York Times reporters. They assess the latest on Iran and what appears to be another humiliation for Trump. What does Tucker Carlson’s departure from the Republican Party signify? Marion previews JD Vance’s book on Catholicism. Is it the end of the Kennedy era? And they remember the lives of Alan Greenspan and Clive Davis.

    Abortion Divides Again

    Former Fine Gael TD John Deasy joins Matt to assess the surprise change in abortion legislation proposed by Sinn Féin and supported by the Taoiseach and Tánaiste. They look at the internal division within Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael and why the outcome means different things for the different party leaders. They also ask if it’s right to change legislation that was directly linked to winning a constitutional referendum 8 years ago. They assess Simon Harris’ conversion to a united Ireland and ask if this is a focus group initiative rather than real conviction. Also, Jennifer Carroll MacNeill and the politics of her confrontation with the consultants and her desire to bring about fundamental change to the operation of the hospital service throughout the country.

    Remembering Veronica Guerin

    Lise Hand joins Matt to remember their great friend who was murdered 30 years ago in June 1996. They recall their friendships with Veronica, how they got to know her, and her early years in journalism. They swap stories about what a great character she was, but also how she was a trailblazing journalist. They turn to the circumstances of the horror of her death and assess the reaction of the politicians of the time and what they did in response to what was a national outrage. They address her legacy and wonder what Veronica would be doing now if she were still with us. Brought to you by The Greenman Group.

    PTP America: Trump’s Bloody Birthday Bash

    Larry Donnelly joins Marion McKeone to weigh in on the UFC spectacle at the White House, the newly agreed US-Iran memorandum of understanding and what it could commit Washington to, and Trump's standing at the G7 as Mark Carney's profile continues to rise. They also discuss JD Vance's new book 'Communion', his sliding poll numbers, and the alleged Department of Justice investigation into Gavin Newsom. And they finish in New York, where the Knicks and Zohran Mamdani have the city buzzing, while Jack Schlossberg's congressional campaign is faltering.
