The Rest Is Politics

I have to disagree with your position on Israel closing its Irish embassy. The feckless World Court’s treatment of Israel’s PM, along with the support of much of the is a disgrace. Equating Israel and Hamas is no different than equating the IRA with the British PM. Sadly, the UN and World Court’s treatment have failed to live up to the to their founding aspirations. If the world had held the Allied Nations to the standards demanded of Israel, we would all be bi-lingual today; speaking both German and Japanese.

A British friend of mine recommended this and I have been listening to it for several months. There is little debate between the two and no real analysis of issues from different perspectives. They seem to agree on quite a bit, especially their dislike of Trump. I am hoping that as the election moves more into the rear view mirror Rory will show more resolve and take up conservative positions around immigration and tax policy in Europe. Otherwise this just becomes another echo chamber in the podcast sphere and will ultimately drop it. I already listen to NPR Politics and get my fill of left leaning views. I was hoping for a good old fashioned debate format where the hosts can disagree without being disagreeable.

Broad ranging topics with current appeal are covered and analyzed in multidimensional space with humor and gusto. Solid teams though KK is not the best in prediction game. Leading interviews are phenomenal lately!

The UK version? Amazing! Five stars. The hosts are fantastic and the show is both engaging and interesting to listen to. The US version? Let’s hire the lifelong financial guy who got into politics two minutes ago and got immediately fired. He’s not engaging or interesting to listen to. Great! And pair him with someone who is not from the US? What could go right? One star. Please god stop cluttering my feed by slipping them in and then please god just stop cluttering up the scene by just stopping that podcast or re-casting the hosts.
