Baker is a stereotypical Leftist/TDS sufferer, though not as rabid as the average MS/NBC ”talent”. ”I have my reservations about Trump, he clearly has a desire to seize power forever”-ish, but let’s move on, no need for me to justify what I just said or provide receipts.
Fraser and Kate need to show their care for those refugees by being turned into lunch for them.
A useful way to try to distract people during a period of deliberate intensive change.
That was enlightening. Another think-tank maven and conference attendee offering tips to one lobe of the ruling class on how to better herd the livestock into the cattle wagons for their last journey.
Perhaps what we are seeing here is the result of merit being put down the hierarchy of ideals across the board. Idiot bankers, idiot regulators, and idiot government bailing them out with idiot voter’s yet to be earned money. The thing is, merit has a reality that idiot ideas like ’Equity’ and ’Social Justice’ don’t have. Reality prevails in the long run, always. Nature cannot be avoided so merit will impose itself. The whole fantasy world of identity trumping merit and competence will collapse.
I lived in London when Thatcher came to power and Labour failed us totally. The unionist marxist idiots were wreckin Britain. The old Tories sclerotic. So Thatchrism was fresh air Her new Conservative Party were an eclectic mix. From working class right barrow boys to young merchant bankers. And my type, the Salisbury philosophical conservatives. Anyway my point: this moment in the US reminds me of that. It’s revolutionary, and we talked of overthrowing the ’Loony Left’. The woke of the day
I think either Jacob is either a ridiculous partisan journalist and intellectually dishonest or he’s deranged. Biden is obviously badly demented, only a fool would deny it and I would take that bet every day Freddie.
Unbelievable, so long as Biden can just read a script? Stanley is utterly contemptible reminds me exactly why I need to cancel my Telegraph subscription.
Can’t you get someone on who isn’t a Biden shill?
What a terrible guest. Any chance of getting someone on who is not a Democrat partisan shill for once?
Superb podcast, I agree with everything said, I can't see how anyone on the left or otherwise could disagree
Great interview,, wonderful thoughts from the interviewee.
Yep-culture wars are bad, we neen nuanced thinking-It's why I listen to The Spectator... But assuming Trump's democratic credentials based on him 'getting things done' is a farce. Electing an executive leader is not a mandate for their manifesto to 'get done, we're saying you have good ideas, and we believe that you are the person to get them done. If there is criticism of conduct and process in 'getting them done' that is a health thing to discuss-the wrong conversation was had in this podcast.
I was going to day exactly the same thing as cazgzg. Really disappointing guest. Tge electorate want an on the night declaration because they instinctively know that mail in ballots are susceptible to fraud. there was for example something very unsatisfactory (and fishy) about the election of the Arizona Senator Sinema
Really poor guest. No mention whatsoever over potential voter fraud which is the big issue with mail in ballots. Wonder why that was?
Yawn boring interview with a boring elitist Democrat
Wrong about Evola. He specifically denied that being of a particular race meant that one was "from above." On this basis he hectored the SS for not being right-wing enough. He successfully defended himself against postwar charges of having been a Nazi-supporting, Mussolini-supporting fascist.
Very much to the point at this time. Bring back Stoicism!
Valuing emotion per se is the problem, as is devaluing the sense of oneself as imperfect and in need of forgiveness. Marxism praises one for being and staying angry. Self-congratulatory Angry Black culture is proud of being angry all the time: that is its ball and chain. Self- donned.
Best of the Spectator podcasts
Excellent. Americano is the best of The Spectator podcasts. Like the balance. Informative too.
All Trump had was the stock market. That was always a con because he did nothing to help the American economy but has been on cruise control. The American presidency has been reduced to a puppet show being perpetrated by the rich for the rich and cannot or will not help ordinary people. Americans need a proper national health care system free at point of use for all. It is the wealthiest country on the entire planet and yet Americans are going bankrupt over health care bills. Whatever it takes quite frankly.
You people are pathetic. Trump is a puppet president for the billionaires who finance the GOP elections. He is a massive distraction from what's going on behind the scenes which is that the billionaires are destroying the American government from the inside so that they can never face oversight nor pay any taxes at all ever.
Doesn't know Prince Andrew despite both of them being close friends with the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein? Yeah right. You people will believe anything.
At least the Americans can be bothered to do an investigation whereas we know that American billionaire donors and Russian intelligence agents were involved in the crooked 2016 Brexit referendum process and our Tory masters do nothing about it!! Neither has the Tory Party brought in any measures to protect our democracy from foreign interference in the future. In fact the Tory Party refuses to publish the recent report into Russian influence and money in British politics just as the British government refused to publish the report into the Iraq war which showed that Blair was lied to and manipulated by Bush!!
You have failed to mention the fact that Mitch McConnell is called the grim reaper because he kills all democratic party bills sent from congress to the Senate just for the sake of it!! And what about when Obama was president and McConnell filly bustered Obama's supreme court pick just for the sake of it!! Far from it being the democratic party which is deliberately obstructing legislation it is Trump's own party that is deliberately obstructing legislation on gun control and health care!!! And while the AG report found issues with the FISA warrant for Carter Page that had absolutely nothing to do with why the Mueller inquiry was started. Btw you do realise that Mueller was a long time GOP establishment prosecutor appointed at a time when the Republican Party had control in the Senate, congress and the presidency so how could the democrats be blamed for something done by his own party? Also you do not mention that 40% of American voters only get Fox Fact Free News and Sinclair radio stations which pump out pro Trump propaganda all day every day so small wonder that those people don't know the truth.
The left do not bash Christianity. That is a fallacy promoted by right wing propagandists like The Spectator. I know and love many Christians. You are lying for effect and nobody ever outs you !!
These kids are hate filled. What a shame that they are using their natural talents to try to stop others succeeding in life rather than getting their own shit down. They are being financed and used by the very boomers they despise. Trump is the ultimate boomer ffs.
From Wikipedia: According to Kirk, he dreamed of attending the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York, but his application was rejected.[32] According to The New Yorker, Kirk said "the slot he considered his went to 'a far less-qualified candidate of a different gender and a different persuasion" whose test scores he claimed he knew. Kirk later said he was being sarcastic when he made the comment." See? Whah whah whah it's not fair!!
Those poor lickle incels can't handle having to compete with brown people and women for jobs that they don't deserve but imagine that they do. They can't get what they want and so they are scrating and crying about it. Whah whah whah it's not fair!! Utterly pathetic
Ouch! A few production problems with this one.
This Ornstein guy is either an idiot or a provocateur. Typical Leftist, he has no sense of humour and clearly doesn’t understand that Trump is one of the best stand-up comedians on the circuit. He also started out with one of the favourite Dem falsehoods, i.e. that Trump said he’d be a dictator from day one. He actually said he’d be a dictator ON day one, as Freddie pointed out, much to Ornstein’s chagrin. With Trump you have to watch what he does not what he says — the inverse of Obama.
