  • Wetter & wetter… (Too many adverts too)

    The show is a necessary corrective to the siloed, far-left echo chamber that is hegemonic here in Britain. Unfortunately the woke leftwing tends to be low-information, according to several peer-reviewed studies of information consumption; leftists are therefore unlikely to change.

    This podcast can be a bit milquetoast (bedwetters like Lord Roberts, Sandbrook, Hamish, Andrew Neil et al – really?), but it’s worthwhile on the whole. I’ve enjoyed many of these discussions and guests, except for th... more

  • What other podcast can you go from diving into some of the most difficult subjects of the day and then laughing out loud. I also love their occasional deep dives into history. Plus, I'm not sure if Francis mentioned it, but his background as a teacher is priceless.

  • Great show but…

    Awesome show with lots of good conversations. My only gripe is please put a show description up. I don’t always know the guests or if I’m going to enjoy the topic.

  • Owen Jones motor mouth

    This was so difficult to listen to. The guy has verbal diarrhoea. The way he presents arguments, even when he’s right is obnoxious.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

"This Is the Age of Political Violence" – Dr Robert Pape
Q: Given that you're a president who really doesn't want Iran to get a nuke, what are you supposed to do?
Pape proposes regional balancing: strengthening Gulf states over several years so they can take on more of the responsibility for countering Iran. He says this could create a more stable balance of power than direct escalation or capitulation.
"This Is the Age of Political Violence" – Dr Robert Pape
Q: What is the central core succinct version of your argument about why the Iran war was going to drag on and ultimately fail for the United States? And why did you turn out to be accurate?
Pape says the conflict followed an escalation trap: the stronger power initially succeeds militarily, but the weaker power survives and gains leverage. Because each step back carries political costs, the stronger power tends to escalate rather than concede.
Dave Smith vs. TRIGGERnometry 2
Q: Is World War II a clear example of why countries sometimes have to fight?
The hosts argue that confronting Hitler prevented a worse outcome, while Smith says the war's origins and the preceding interventions complicate that lesson. He accepts that intervention might have prevented suffering in some circumstances but rejects using World War II as a blanket justification for later wars.
Dave Smith vs. TRIGGERnometry 2
Q: Are we prepared to tolerate a nuclear Iran?
Smith says he would not support launching a war to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, arguing that the United States did not wage wars to stop other countries from developing them. He says nuclear weapons are dangerous but warns that military action can cause escalation.
“I Hired Them. They Reported Me for Missing a DEI Meeting” – Oliver Malcolm
Q: Are publishers commissioning books by great Jewish authors because of what's happening in Israel?
Malcolm says he is concerned that Jewish and Israeli writers are being culturally boycotted, pointing to an editor whose acquisitions and career prospects changed after October 7 and the difficulty of finding a UK publisher for a hostage's book. He describes creating an imprint to support Jewish and Israeli talent.
