Podcasts about Kenny Campbell

Alex Andreou and Naomi Smith opolling guru Peter Kellner, dissect opinions polls on Trump's second, first, 100 Days in the White House, the result of the Canadian election, and preview the local and mayoral elections in England. Plus 'Wokey Dokey' and 'Grin And Share It'. “What Mark Carney did was to come close to monopolising the centre/centre-left vote. Which, of course, might have echoes for what Starmer needs to do here. Labour is losing many more votes to the Liberal Democrats, the Greens and the SNP. Labour is suffering, in large measure, because the progressive vote is fragmenting.” “Businesses live in an uncertain world, but it's what I would call ‘ordered uncertainty'. We don't know whether interest rates will be half a point up or down in a year, but we know how the decision will be taken, the forces at work. There is a rational basis for the array of possibilities. With Trump, there is irrational uncertainty.” “We may, in some local and mayoral contests, which are four- or five-way splits, see very strange results; people elected on a quarter of the vote. In 48 hours, when we know all the figures, they may be the greatest argument that electoral reformers have ever had.” “Brexit trade barriers were going to defy the laws of economics. And didn't. And in a surprise to precisely no one, except maybe Navarro, the same is happening in the US.” “If I were to try and find a silver lining to Trump's first 100 days, it is this: Our time on this Earth is limited, so we should all be thankful to someone that makes it feel SO. MUCH. LONGER.”  ***SPONSOR US AT ⁠KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD⁠*** CALLS TO ACTION VOTE! Also, subscribe to Peter Kellner's substack here.

Our seas and rivers are a disgrace, the National Audit Office has warned some areas could run out of water by 2034, and Britain's biggest water company is begging for a Government bailout, after years of loading up with debt to help it pay out juicy dividends. In this Quiet Riot special, our producer Kenny Campbell takes a deep dive into the issues and possible solutions to the water crisis with Norwich South MP Clive Lewis, whose Private Member's Bill on the subject will be debated this week. It's a topic that vexes our listeners – we know, because it's listeners who suggested we look into the scandalous state of affairs the water industry finds itself in. How did we get into this dreadful situation? What can we do about it? How did Labour MP Clive Lewis find himself buttonholed by Richard Tice only to find the Reform MP was in agreement about the state of water companies? And how are Trumpian politics linked to what is going on in the industry? If you swim, paddle or drink water, then this is a must-listen episode. SHOW LINKS Visit the Clive Lewis Action Network for more details on the work he is doing on Britain's broken water industry – and please drop your MP a letter this week, urging them to attend the imminent debate on Clive's bill. The Rivers Trust has an interactive map of sewage spills in England here – it's pretty up-to-date and utterly shocking. The trust also has links for those seeking Scottish and Welsh data. ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** ALEX ANDREOU'S PODYSSEY can be found here: APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/alex-andreous-podyssey/id1798575126 SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/2x7cD3HjkOyOKTF4YT5Goy?si=e7a86b762431451f AMAZON MUSIC: https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/8c996062-ef8d-42e4-9d80-5b407cb6e2e2/alex-andreou's-podyssey OVERCAST: https://overcast.fm/+ABN4Gd7AP9Q POCKET CASTS: https://pca.st/podcast/9e98d690-d812-013d-ea22-0affdfd67dbd YouTube Music: Coming Soon Or you can add it to any app, using the RSS feed: https://feeds.megaphone.fm/podyssey SUBSCRIBE OR FOLLOW NOW Our bookshop selling many of the books we have featured can be found at uk.bookshop.org/shop/quietriot.

With a looming election, a troublesome neighbour and a former Bank of England Governor as unelected PM, Canada is living through excruciatingly interesting times. We thought it was time to cuddle up to our Canuck cousins, and so Naomi Smith is joined for this special episode by Canadian journalist Graham Lanktree. Graham is Politico's UK trade specialist, and an ideal guide to the ins and outs of Canadian politics. How do Canadians feel about Mark Carney, a leader who has not been elected as an MP? Talking of unelected figures, what about their views on the Royal Family? As Trump bulldozes his way across the political landscape, will Canada try to disentangle its trade relations with the US, and cozy up to the EU? And How might Trump's second state visit to the UK affect UK-Canada diplomatic relations ?

KENNY CAMPBELL / JUDGEMENT DAY RECORDS RADIO SHOW #42 ON TOXIC SICKNESS / MARCH / 2025 by TOXIC SICKNESS OFFICIAL

'Tis the season of St Patrick and so Naomi Smith is joined by Irish politics specialist Professor Mary C Murphy, to see whether Ireland's political glass is half empty or half full. Questions are there many... Ireland is one of three neutral EU countries but is that sustainable in the age of Trump and Putin? How do young people on the island differ politically from their parents? Could there be a border poll and why would it be fraught with risk? And should the Taoiseach be raising a glass to his St Patrick's Day visit to the White House, or drowning his sorrows? Mary is Professor of Political Science and Director of the Irish Institute at Boston College in Massachusetts. ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** (and thank you!)

Alex Andreou and Naomi Smith talk through the week's news, with a focus on the astounding implosion within Reform UK and signs of reversal of policies and freezing out of Musk by Trump. PLUS will changes on how GDP is calculated help or hinder Reeves? ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** “Parliaments with a higher number of female leaders are more likely to be more equal, achieve higher economic growth and experience lower levels of corruption.” “Have Reform peaked too soon? Timing is everything. By doing well in some polls, people have started to treat them more seriously, to question them about policy, to look at people beyond Farage. And there is nothing there.” “Trump fails to understand much beyond ‘you've got this and I want it, why won't you take a deal?' In his head they are all not being rational, because he fails to realise that a peace treaty is not a business deal. This isn't a challenge on The Apprentice.” “DOGE's entire power depends on its being able to impose itself on other departments. So, when Trump tells Musk: well, you can advise, but the State Secretaries will decide, is not just a demotion.

The one bit he can't control, the one part of reality he cannot alter, is how much people's weekly supermarket bill is, or what they pay at the gas pump. And it might be his undoing.” “The notion of a European army used to be the Brexiteers' bogeyman. And now more people believe there should be such a combined European defence force than not. In fact, support for it has doubled since 2020. So, Trump has definitely had a cohesive effect.” “There is a danger at the moment of confusing the very online Reform supporters on X with wider Reform. Actually, if you look at the shift that's allowed them to grow eight-nine points since the election, they're more moderate, more female, and don't approve of Trump or Musk.” “The working class is not some homogenous block of post-liberal anti-woke Trumpists, just like not every progressive lives in leafy North London, supports Arsenal, and studied law at a Russell Group University. I reject this kind of identity politics.” “[Blue Labour] seems to me a sort of pretend salt-of-the-earth authenticity and radicalism, while actually just appropriating small-c conservative politics of division. Women and ethnic or sexual minorities are pretty absent from their cynically drawn picture of class.” “On immigration, the median voter balances three things: compassion, control, and competence.

Alex Andreou and Naomi Smith talk through the week's news, with a focus on the gangsters who have taken over the White House. ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** NAOMI: "It's not so much that the world has changed as that the world has finally realized how much the world had already changed. For those for whom the penny hadn't already dropped, it's dropped now. And my overriding feeling is just this renewed anger about the decision to leave the EU." ALEX: "Deliberation is not evidence of equivocation. Speed does not always result in constancy. Declamation does not equal leadership. Calmness is not a form of appeasement." NAOMI: "I'm very encouraged by the UK demonstrating more leadership on this issue, putting its money where its mouth is, and I hope it will inspire other European leaders to do likewise, especially those not yet even meeting the NATO threshold of spending 2% of GDP on defence. Looking at you Meloni…" ALEX: "The only thing that matters now, is for the political will to exist, to disentangle our continent from a now unreliable and dangerous partner, and for the time to be gained to do that safely. We will bite the inside of our cheek and smile and say 'yes dear', while preparing our escape."

Alex Andreou and Naomi Smith welcome special guest LBC host James O'Brien to discuss Starmer's trip to Washington. What is the best he could come back with? And was raising defence at the expense of aid worth it? And of course 'Wokey Dokey' and 'Grin And Share It'. ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** “The idea that history was over, because the Cold War was over, the Berlin Wall had come down, and liberal democracy had prevailed over the extremes of fascism or communism, was irresistible in 1989. So, this isn't just about Ukraine. It's about recognising we're returning to an unsafe world.”  “This defence spending announcement is a signal, an in-principle decision, that we are entering an era where hard power matters more than soft power. It is difficult to disagree with that assessment of the world right now.” “The bottom line is: the world changed last week in ways that nobody could have foreseen. And Starmer has done the thing that Starmer is quite good at - when the facts have changed he's changed his mind.” “Badenoch channels the worst of Penny Mordaunt and Liz Truss. It's 50% Mordaunt shouting ‘stand and fight and stand and stand and fight and stand' and 50% Truss going ‘we've got 10 and 1/2 minutes to save Western civilisation.” “The problem is many of the benefits of soft power are intangible - you can't easily put a dollar value on a population not being displaced or someone not becoming radicalised. But it feels instinctively like it must be cheaper than hard power.” “Yes, using a logical train, in light of everything Trump has said and done, NATO is over. But using logical trains, when it comes to Trump is pointless. So until someone makes a compelling case of why it is in Trump's personal interest, even NATO is subject to his caprice.” “It's so hard to look at everything not through a lens of normality bias. I've caught myself so often, lately, thinking: this can't be as bad as it looks, because I am biased towards believing that the danger cannot be as great as it appears.” CALLS TO ACTION LINKS: Click to find out more about Help for Heroes.

Alex Andreou and special guest, London bureau chief for the ARD, the multi-award winning journalist, Annette Dittert with an analysis of Sunday's German federal election results. ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** “NATO may have died - in the sense that, if the Article 5 commitment is not longer believable, if it is not something you can bank on, we may already be at a point when we need to start looking at something else, which looks a bit like NATO but doesn't involve the US.” “Of all the weapons Ukraine uses, 55% are produced in Ukraine, 25% come from Europe and 20% from the US. The difficulty arises because a lot of that 20% from the US is made up of high-end air defence that is hard to replace. But it's not impossible.”  "The German election is proof of concept for what Musk's interference can achieve. European leaders need to get their s**t together and decide what they're going to do about his influence, because otherwise he's just going to pick them off one by one." "Any other records held by any other company would be accessible given the right court order. Even for confidential or privileged stuff, there are exceptions in cases of national security.

We have to have some confidence in our institutions and the many thousands of people that contribute to them.” “Along with support for Ukraine, ‘the special relationship' seems to be breaking apart with it. Because Russia is a much more pertinent threat to us than it is to America. And it feels like they just want it off their desks.”  “The late Christopher Meyer, former UK ambassador to the US, used to say ‘the special relationship' never existed. I think that's probably true. American interest in Europe has always been somewhat overstated.” “For the last 20 years, whenever the idea of a European army was floated, the main objector was NATO and countries who saw it as foundational, like the UK or the US, because they saw it as a threat to NATO centrality as a defence force. Now they turn around and say ‘why don't you have your own European army?' after blocking it for decades.” “Are we now in a situation where America is Russia's bitch? I don't think that is the case. But it's clear there are people around Trump who have absolutely swallowed Kremlin talking points and get their information from weird accounts on X.

KENNY CAMPBELL / JUDGEMENT DAY RECORDS RADIO SHOW #41 ON TOXIC SICKNESS / FEBRUARY / 2025 by TOXIC SICKNESS OFFICIAL

Alex Andreou and Naomi Smith talk through the week's news, with a focus on Trump and Musk's assault on federal government - and how it might just turn against them. A detailed report by Frontier Economics AND a megapoll by YouGov, commissioned by Best for Britain, outline stunning growth opportunities - if Starmer goes for the right UK-EU reset. The public is fully behind the idea. Plus, as Reform UK continues to gaslight the country about Brexit and ride high in the polls, there may be a giant chink in their armour. ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** "Pete Hegseth sat down at the poker table with his cards facing his opponents. The damage is done. You can't walk that back. You can't ask the other poker players to unsee the cards you just showed them." “The latest Trump tariff package accumulates his grievances with the rest of the world, whether they are real or imagined. It could mean anything, or othing. It's impossible to process until we understand what he means - and nobody can do that, because Trump doesn't understand it.” “The Trump tariffs executive order is a nothing. It is an invitation to leaders from around the world to come and kiss his ass. This is the Fisher-Price version of a Presidency. They give him buttons to push and levers to pull that are attached to nothing.”  “Reform UK hasn't got any experience of actual government or much on-the-ground resources. The Conservatives can offer decades of experience and local associations, but need Reform's popularity. The sweet spot is there. That's where a deal might be done.” LINKS: Byline piece with background on Together and its links to other campaigns is here.

Alex Andreou talks to special guest FT science editor, Michael Peel, about his book "What Everyone Knows About Britain, Except The British". Nostalgia is the disease from which our dysfunctional politics flows. How can we change course? And what could modern Britain be in the future, if it stopped longing for the past? ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** “There are probably two types of voter, those who vote emotionally and those who vote emotionally but don't admit that they do.”  “The way Brexit was campaigned for illustrated a wider problem in politics today, which was a reluctance to talk about trade-offs and downsides. It's possible to make a coherent argument for Brexit, which is also honest. But that was never the offer. The offer was: there are no downsides, this is all going to be great, you just need to sign on the dotted line. That was why it was corrosive.” “What is really needed is a moment of political clarity, to say: our politics is based on this nostalgic idea that we can go back to the days of Western industrial and political dominance. Those days are gone. Whether you consider that state desirable or not, it was a unique moment in time that is never coming back.” “It is revealing, in discussions of the Thatcher era, how little North Sea Oil is mentioned. If Britain had done what the Norwegians and other countries did, the wealth fund would be worth hundreds of billions of pounds. ”  You can buy Michael Peel's book here https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/what-everyone-knows-about-britain-except-the-british-michael-peel/7598496?aid=15177&ean=9781800962088& Our bookshop which includes many of the books we have discussed or featured can be found at uk.bookshop.org/shop/quietriot.

Alex Andreou and Naomi Smith welcome special guest founder of Scientists for EU and chair of European Movement UK, Mike Galsworthy to discuss whether it is better to unite pro-European forces behind one mission or let them be a lively, symbiotic ecosystem. Plus a deepdive into the UK's science and technology strategy. Join the US in deregulating? Or join Europe and actively drain science capacity from it? And of course 'Wokey Dokey' and 'Grin And Share It'. ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** “As a campaigning organisation, you have to go to where people are - the spaces that they occupy, the informational areas that they're in, and in person. You have to meet them where they are both physically and in terms of opinion, whether ministers or voters.” “What we are talking about is not a political party winning, but rather how do you move all of UK society in the same direction. At each and every level [rejoining the EU] has to be made relevant to each and every community - personally, regionally, demographically.” “The gov't knows where the public is. The polling has been very clear for some time. The single most influential group that needs to step up right now is business - every size, every industry, every location. They need to step and push gov't towards EU alignment during this critical period in the run up to the [Starmer - von der Leyen] summit.”  “There is a real opportunity right now, given the way Trump is behaving, for a ‘brain drain' from the States and diversion of talent that would usually flow to the States, especially from Global South countries worried about the racism and the barriers to funding. The UK and Europe should get together to move on this.” “With the falling apart of USAID, the soft power opportunity there, through science and health security, is huge. This is where both the UK and the EU are strong and trusted.” “Population decline is an existential threat to mature Western economies and soon they will find that they are actually in competition for immigration. The first such country to realise this, will reap huge benefits.” CALLS TO ACTION LINKS: Click here to ask your MP to read Best for Britain's Growth Report. Sign up for European Movement here.

The public is fully behind the idea. Plus, as Reform UK continues to gaslight the country about Brexit and ride high in the polls, there may be a giant chink in their armour. ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** “What we're seeing is an overall strategy of moving so fast and doing so much that the judicial system, the Democratic Party, any media still inclined to scrutinise the Presidency, they simply don't have time to react to all of it.” “USAID has a tiny budget. $40bn in the context of a $7 Trillion annual federal budget is nothing. It gets Trump and Musk nowhere near the trillions they said they would save. It is performative, chosen precisely because of the ripple effect in so many sensitive areas.” “If the UK pursues deep alignment on goods with the EU, you're looking at between 1-1.5% GDP growth. So clawing back about a third of what the OBR says we've lost as a result of Brexit. If you do deep alignment on goods and services, it's between 1.7 to 2.2%. Clawing back more than half of what we will have lost. The cost of inaction is that we continue to atrophy and we recover none of that loss growth.”  “When you do UK-EU deep alignment, on goods in particular, you get the greatest spread of growth outside of London. It disproportionately impacts non-South-East. West Midlands and the North get the biggest boost. Why? Well, that's where what industry we do still have tends to be located and they have been the most negatively impacted [by Brexit].” “All this ‘shock and awe' from Trump and Musk can feel overwhelming. But forced to defend all of this will stretch them thin. We have to be considered and strategic. Once the challenges start coming, it is them who will have to prioritise what to defend and what to junk. So take a breath and hold the line.” CALLS TO ACTION AND LINKS: You can see the full BfB/Frontier report on UK-EU growth here. David Frum's article for the Atlantic is here.

Alex Andreou and Naomi Smith (fresh from Brussels) welcome special guest Rachel Shabi to discuss her new book on antisemitism, Trump's proposed cash + ethnic cleansing deal, Starmer trying to make himself invisible, while negotiating with Europe, and the general fever dream we seem to be living through. Plus a stunning audio letter from Arthur Snell in Israel. And of course 'Wokey Dokey' and 'Grin And Share It'. ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** “The only way to stand up to Trump is collectively and the UK finds itself outside that large European collective bloc. It is particularly unfortunate and how the Labour gov't can square that, I don't know, but they have to find a way.” “Trump is looking for people to punish, but also for a country to reward, to show the others what happens. And his rhetoric about Starmer is different than any other European leader. So, maybe the UK is weirdly manoeuvring itself into a sweet Goldilocks deal.” “When you're talking to Europe, while showing this much ankle to the US in general and in particular Trump, I think your ability to progress negotiations with the EU will be highly constrained.”  “I don't think there's any point in second-guessing a chaos-merchant, who likes to throw chaotic statements into the public space, precisely for the purpose of sowing chaos. And I don't think there's any point in treating [Trump's Gaza comments] as some strategic move.” “The realities of antisemitism are messy. The conversations we need to have are messy. It takes time and the building of trust that means not automatically assuming bad faith. The problem is we are trying to have those conversations in the midst of a political and media environment that is obnoxious and divisive.” CALLS TO ACTION LINKS: You can buy Rachel Shabi's 'Off White' here.

Or is it more likely that they just end President of the US?” “The right-leaning Tax Foundation in the US found tariffs levied by Trump during his first term, were paid by US businesses and their customers. Goldman Sachs projects there will be a 0.1% effect on inflation for every additional 1% of tariffs.” “Merz was cruising to victory, but he got greedy. He broke convention, riled up Angela Merkel, and split the CDU. And what did he achieve? He's basically given people an argument to vote AfD.”  CALLS TO ACTION LINKS: Join Best for Britain's list to get the big news coming in the next couple of weeks. ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** With Naomi Smith, Alex Andreou and Kenny Campbell – in cahoots with Sandstone Global.

Also, a frank discussion about Britain's true immigration problem: that numbers are dropping off a cliff. Plus 'Wokey Dokey' and a Dramatic Reading of Daniel Hannan. ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** “The arguments for Brexit were masking something much more sinister and deeper in the ideology of those who were advocating for it.” “The same people are now saying let's leave the ECHR. It will never be enough. There will always be another thing, another right that we as citizens can give up, to pursue this agenda of wiping out the diversity of our country.” “PEM is the right direction but it's not a game-changer. We have a rare opportunity for a limited conversation about what we need from the EU and we need to prioritise full beneficial alignment.”  “People who are secure about their identity don't tend to worry about foreigners. Brexit triggered an identity crisis. English nationalists had to redefine theirs, to cohere. For decades, being against the EU had acted as a proxy. The moment that was removed, their identity fell apart.” “There is a massive performative element [to Trump's deportations]. So much of our politics is done in the media that image is everything. Those deportations were taking place under the Biden administration, but it is Trump who has released the imagery.” “There is no reasonable Right, any more. It doesn't exist. Don't kid yourselves. We should not be compromising. We have repeatedly thought we can compromise with these people who hate us and split the difference and we can't.” CALLS TO ACTION LINKS: Sign the petition to provide better routes for undocumented migrants to regularise their status.

Alex welcomes special guest, former diplomat Arthur Snell to discuss the future of NATO, Ukraine, Gaza, Syria - and whether The West, capitalised as one entity, may be coming to the end of the unity of purpose which has sustained it since the 40s. ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** Arthur's Behind the Lines is here. Conclusive video evidence that Trump is definitely the same height and weight as Gavin Newsom can be found here. ______________________ “Trump picks these crazy appointments, partly to rile sensible mainstream people, but it's partly because then they're totally loyal to him, since they have no standing of their own, to be at these jobs.” “NATO and European security are in a fundamental crisis now. Because the whole idea was that North America took a view that European security is integral to their own. That idea is collapsing at the moment.” “Putin is in a rather advantageous position. He can carry on fighting - let's say for another thirty days - grab a few more towns and strategic ground, then announce that he is ready to come to the negotiating table. What Trump is doing, is to say: you carry on as long as you need to and when you're done, there's a deal here for you.”  “I've noticed people in the West, generally, and here in the UK starting to blame Ukraine and suggest that really the problem is they didn't mobilise enough troops. If we look at the casualties they've suffered, I think that is a cynical and, frankly, cowardly position.” “The ceasefire [in Gaza] needed two things to happen in America. It needed the tireless work of the Biden administration to negotiate, but it also needed the threat of someone like Trump willing to do crazy things.” _______________________ Click here for your Quiet Riot Bluesky Starter Pack.

Alex Andreou, Naomi Smith with special guest USA Politics Guru, Dr. Brian Klaas, look at the flurry of executive orders and try to sort the wheat from the chaff. And how should Europe respond? Which fights are not worth fighting and where the red lines should be drawn. Plus 'Wokey Dokey' and 'Grin and Share It'. ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** “Donald Trump simultaneously says we should execute drug dealers and pardoned the largest drug market creator in human history. And so he is creating one of the hallmarks of authoritarian rule, which is a tier of justice that says: if you're my friend, if you're an ally, the rules don't apply.” “The Republican Party, when it goes on to legislation, it's in trouble. The stuff that they're proposing, with the exception of immigration, some of the domestic policy proposals they have are toxic.” “The economy is the one area where the political laws of gravity could apply. You cannot tell people that their grocery bill has gone down when it hasn't. But the motivated reasoning of ‘now Trump is back, everything is good' - that will get him through for quite a while.”  “Musk could have the world's best information service at his fingertips. Information is the crucial part of good decision-making in life and he could have the single best private intelligence agency in the world. And instead he's getting his news from idiot zealots on X.” “There's going to be things that the Trump administration is able to do internationally, by throwing around American power, which is formidable. The question is whether that is a good strategy over the long run. You can get people to do things because they're afraid of you, but there's a view that, long term, this erodes American power.” “If [as a European gov't] you pull your punches all the time, you're going to end up with the worst of every world: you're going to end up undercutting your own dignity and power on the international stage, and you're not going to get Trump to change.” GRIN AND SHARE IT Read - and watch video - about equal marriage being legalised in Thailand.

Join us for some group therapy! Naomi and Alex welcome back 38Degrees CEO and former Obama campaign staffer Matthew McGregor with some first impressions of Trump's low-energy inauguration speech, his high-energy overflow speech, Melania's get-away-from-me-energy hat and Musk's chemically-enhanced-energy salute. ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** "So much of it was about him. So much of it was about how he's the best and how he's suffered and how he's the victim. Contrast that with 'ask not what your country can do for you'. It was an extraordinarily self-centered inauguration speech." "Once he was in the other room, he gave the speech he really wanted to. He wanted to talk about January the 6th. He wanted to open up old wounds. He will never ever let go of the injustice that he perceives happened to him back in 2020.” "We should be outraged. We should stay angry. And we should be up for resisting what Donald Trump is going to try to do to America. But there's no point in pretending that he is a novice, an idiot, someone who is deranged. He knows what he's doing." “John McCain said it's always darkest just before it goes completely black.
