Are we about to see Trump unleashed?

Kamala Harris has delivered her concession speech, signalling the start of the Democrat post-mortem. Donald Trump has secured a total victory, the kind which gives him a mandate to make some pretty radical reforms. Americano guest host Kate Andrews is joined by Jacob Heilbrunn, editor of The National Interest, to discuss what a second Trump term will look like: from domestic to foreign policy.

Lionel Shriver on the election that smashed identity politics

News that Kamala Harris has called Donald Trump to concede defeat means that the US election is all but over. Of the seven crucial swing states, Trump has so far won North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Republicans have taken the Senate back from the Democrats. How did things go so badly for Kamala Harris? Is this the end of identity politics? Lionel Shriver, author and columnist, joins The Spectator’s economics editor Kate Andrews to reflect on what happened, and how she's feeling now considering she disliked both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump as candidates.

Freddy Gray great interviewer

Tony R in Thailand

Always enjoy British view of America and Freddy Grey is clearly a fan but one with a critical eye. He’s an excellent interviewer. Having an American host, especially one who’s long, leading questions constrain discussion, is less interesting.
Great Commentary

Uneven audio levels

The audio levels in the podcast are quite low and uneven, which makes it hard to follow. It would be great if you could consider working with a professional audio producer to enhance the overall listening experience..
