Trump Derrangment Syndrone on display. . . . . Bias. . . . AVOID
Emily sober
In this week’s episode (20.09.25) Emily claimed that Isreal wants to end the genocide in Gaza as much as Hamas do. Not true! It is well documented that BB wants to continue the killing and occupying to maintain his grip on power AND avoid the consequences of his corruption. Please correct this.
Without Goodhall, we get to enjoy Jon and Emily bringing their rich insights to US politics, unhindered by his tabloid rantings. Good guests too always makes this a highlight of my week
Nowhere near as good as the original UK version sadly with Lewis' influence on both Emily and Jon being sorely missed. Although they both are excellent journalists and interviewers, both sometimes lack the American nuance that you get from other podcasts like The Rest is Politics USA which I would recommend instead. Definitely still worth listening but don't rely on it for a genuine view of American politics.
