The Rest Is Politics

Generally, I appreciate this show very much because of its incisive analysis of many issues worldwide. However, I have to take exception with today’s episode covering the reaction to the war in the US. Most of us are very worried about the war and its costs worldwide. However, remember everything that is happening in the US right now. We have women losing their reproductive rights. We have Congress and the administration trying to decrease access to voting, we have the Epstein files, we have concentration camps, popping up everywhere, we have a Gestapo terrorizing the streets, we have a manosphere that is making life difficult for women, we have a president who is grifting everyone, and major institutions bending me to a tyrant. There’s not very much intellectual room for just one topic.

Their opinions are irrelevant and stuck in the 90s. The have elitist attitudes and are very small minded.

The hosts are stuck in the Blair/Clinton era. The world has moved on. There are real problems with immigration and integration. Europe and the UK need to grow up if they want to become relevant in the future.

I appreciate Rory as cohost, but Dominic is a real treat as substitute. His historic perspective adds another dimension to the discussion. How about swapping Dom and Rory, and Tom and Alastair on their respective pods every so often to keep everything fresh?
