Despite being at war, America's commander in chief President Trump has been busy hosting election-style campaign events ahead of important midterm elections. It was billed as an "affordability tour", a chance for Trump to hammer home the ways in whic... more
Why did Trump decide to strike Iran? Was it the US that started the war? Is it even a war? Listening to senior figures in the administration and in MAGA it's not entirely clear. The accounts are confused, contradictory, and seem to change by day.

Who the hell booked Ben Smith for today’s show? He clearly supports Trump and what ICE is doing and it’s all completely indefensible. This surely can’t be a common view so why was such a biased guest booked?
It was obvious even during Trump 2016 that women in his entourage had to look like Barbies. The family parades at rallies or appearances had a full complement of glamour. Long hair, high heels, cosmetically enhanced model looks. Then you had the likes of Hope Hicks and Kayleigh McEnany. Whereas he thought the brilliant Fiona Hill was a secretary. The Barbie appearance is all to Trump. This episode is spot on.
Emily - you are an excellent podcaster and I enjoy listening to you, Jon and Lewis. But you have just one irritating habit - you insert 'sort of' far too often! Please can you make your points without inserting 'sort of'?
Sopel does it too, but thankfully, less often.
Apart from that, your podcasts are wonderful!
These two are brilliant informative journalists. Real shame that they bought on Helen Lewis who is biased and unbalanced, permitting her personal views towards a minority group to dominate - real shame you bought her on. Stick to independent scrutiny please.
