    Wonderful to hear Mr Ibrahim on the podcast. He’s a bold and articulate truth teller.

  • Great overall, but Furedi needs to seek help for his “TDS”

    Were it not for the fact that I’ve enjoyed so many of your other programmes, I’d be very tempted to leave an unfavourable rating for subjecting your loyal audience to 45 minutes of Frank Furedi. The man is a crank who lets his own political preferences completely colour any “analysis.” In a similar vein, little more can be said for Spectator confrère

    Rod Liddle, whose slovenly everyman schtick is as tired as his ersatz acumen.

    There’s plenty of Trump hysteria to be found elsewhere. Do you reall... more

  • Blind to His Own Bigotry

    O’Neill is a “useful idiot,” ostensibly opposed to the Islamists & the totalitarians, but parroting their talking points about the evils of the West.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How the left turned on the Jews | Batya Ungar-Sargon
Q: What role does anti-Zionism play in contemporary discussions about anti-Semitism?
Anti-Zionism can intersect with anti-Semitism in ways that demonize Jewish statehood; however, the guest believes it is possible to critique state policy without labeling Jewish people as a whole as anti-Semites, advocating for open dialogue.
How the left turned on the Jews | Batya Ungar-Sargon
Q: Why have American Jews largely remained Democrats, and how does the author explain the current political alignment?
The guest argues that Jews have historically aligned with liberal causes due to education, urban living, and the concentration of economic elites in certain sectors, while still maintaining strong commitment to Israel—though the alignment is complex and evolving as class dynamics shift.
How the left turned on the Jews | Batya Ungar-Sargon
Q: Tell us about the historical relationship between Jews and the founding ideals of the United States.
Jews were deeply integrated into the fabric of American democracy, with the community contributing to labor movements, finance for the revolution, and later civil rights efforts, underscoring a Founding belief that rights came from a higher covenant rather than from government alone.
‘Populism is the engine of democracy’ | Frank Furedi
Q: What role does democracy play in the populist moment, and how could it look going forward?
Democracy is energized when ordinary people feel represented; populism urges greater participation and voice, moving beyond merely procedural voting to a more meaningful engagement with political life that rescues the public's sense of home and future direction.
‘Populism is the engine of democracy’ | Frank Furedi
Q: How does immigration feature in your framework of populism and the sense of home?
Immigration is often instrumentalized within a multicultural framework that is seen as eroding homogeneous communities; populism, however, emphasizes preserving a sense of home and belonging, arguing that the issue is less about migrants themselves and more about the cultural dynamics they enter into.
