    521. Trump’s Naval Blockade: Is America Becoming a Rogue State?

    2026-04-14 | 59 mins.
    As Trump unleashes yet more global economic turmoil with his aggressive Strait of Hormuz blockade, is he creating a state of ‘permanent emergency’ and reshaping the world order in ways nobody can predict? Why did JD Vance give up on negotiations with Iran after just 21 hours, and why is the 'ceasefire' already collapsing? What surprised Alastair most about his interview with the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy?

    Join Alastair and Rory as they answer all these questions and more.

    520. Orbán Ousted: Is The Tide Turning Against Far-Right Populism?

    2026-04-13 | 15 mins.
    Does Hungary ousting its far-right prime minister prove rightwing populists and autocrats can be beaten around the world, from Trump and Farage to Netanyahu and Milei? Does JD Vance have the midas touch, after his desperate last-ditch efforts last week to get Orbán re-elected? What does Orbán’s departure mean for Putin, Ukraine, and European unity?

    Join Alastair as he reacts to the end of Viktor Orbán's sixteen-year reign over Hungary.
