  • Great but would love to hear about more than Trump and the Republican party

    One of the best US politics podcasts available, genuinely insightful with insider knowledge.

    However, there’s a whole political landscape, including real opportunities for change in both parties, and it would be great to hear more of that explored.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    But they only seem interested in the Republican party, the Trump cabinet, every episode, every week, with no end in sight.

  • Has Trump managed to contain Iran?

    Your analysis does not take into account the fact that the world is beginning to look beyond, and will move on from the USA. Allies have been abused, and the US has abused the position of responsibility ceded to them by the rest of the world. Ukraine had been sold out. Gulf allies were compromised and abandoned. China is rising, they are not perfect but, they have learned lessons from the West. It is now getting to a point where one is actually beginning to seriously question this narrative that... more

  • Scaramucci too full of himself

    He acts like he’s an insider. He’s not. I bristle now every time I hear his voice. TRIP (UK) is a much better investment.

  • A mixed bag

    I have mixed feelings about this podcast - I like the Mooch, but they don't post frequently enough to make a subscription worthwhile. To the person who posted a review (on the wrong podcast btw) a day ago banging on about the blue pill...what a sheep she must be. Or maybe a Maga troll. These podcasts, TRIP UK or TRIP US, are lively and interesting and informative. Those who follow them have the right not to be trolled by people who don't like the views contained in them. So whoever you are, laur... more

  • Smash populism? You mean what’s popular???

    Smashing populism aka crushing the voice of the people. Populism means what is popular aka the majority. If your goal is to smash that you are against the people and pushing your own agenda. Aka Labour fan channel pushing the greedy Labourite lot cashing in on public funds. This podcast is run by a war criminal spin doctor who has no interest in the success of Great Britain at all. If you swallow this you have taken the blue pill. Wake up this is main stream corporate financed media at its finan... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz
Q: How would China respond to such a move, given the global energy nexus?
China has a strong incentive to open the strait to maintain stable energy supplies and trade routes, so the U.S. would seek to coordinate with China and other key players to form a consensus that keeps the strait open while reducing Iran's leverage.
177. The Real Reason Trump’s Blocking The Strait of Hormuz
Q: Take us through the practical application of this blockade.
In practice, interdiction would target tankers in the Gulf of Oman, with diplomacy and economic pressure aiming to keep ships flowing in a way that pressures Iran without immediate military escalation; the goal is to compel open access to the Strait rather than to seize it as an end in itself.
175. TRUMP CALLS FOR IRAN CEASEFIRE – WILL IT HOLD?
Q: Does the two-week ceasefire have the potential to become a long-term settlement?
The guests suggest it is unlikely to be a durable long-term settlement without sustained negotiations and clear verification on nuclear and military constraints, with potential for renewed hostilities if commitments are not fully met.
168. Why Trump Can't Win This War Alone
Q: What role should Europe play in response to Trump's request for help?
Europe could engage as part of a broader policy framework, linking guarantees for shipping through the Straits and nuclear negotiations, rather than offering a unilateral military endorsement.
168. Why Trump Can't Win This War Alone
Q: Why is planning a point of contention in Trump's approach to foreign policy?
Richard Haas argues that planning reduces the chance of surprise and creates stable expectations, whereas Trump's improvisational style complicates alliance coordination and long-term strategy.
