This week on Mid-Atlantic, Roifield Brown hosts a packed panel to break down Donald Trump's latest economic gamble: a 10% blanket import tariff and steeper levies on select countries, with China squarely in the crosshairs. The result? Global market chaos, retaliatory threats, and international alarm bells over the US's role in the rules-based economic order.Joining from across the Atlantic and the US are Logan Phillips in D.C., Michael Donahue in L.A., and Cory Bernard in Manchester. The panel weighs whether the tariff plan is part of a coherent economic strategy or just political theatre aimed at riling up Trump's base — spoiler: coherence is not in attendance. More than just a trade war, this marks a serious erosion of trust in the US as a trading partner. The dollar might be strong, but America's brand value? Not so much.The second half turns sharply towards the UK's options in a world where the US is a geopolitical liability. Roifield pitches a Commonwealth-centric economic bloc as a post-Brexit survival strategy — cue a full-on diplomatic skirmish. What follows is a clash of economic realism, nostalgia, and pride as the panel debates whether Britain should grovel, realign, or get louder. Yes, tempers flare. And yes, someone gets called Neville Chamberlain.Five Standout Quotes:“This was not Team Trump's best moment. It's like trying to put out a fire with gasoline.” – Logan Phillips“If you know tariffs are coming and then vanishing, there's billions to be made — and lost. That's terrifying.” – Michael Donahue“Brand America just took a six-trillion-dollar hit. But it's the trust deficit that really stings.” – Roifield Brown“Trump won't lose his base until their wallets feel it. If they can't feed their families, that's the break.” – Cory Bernard“I'm not giving away the Sudetenland — I'm trying to build a coalition against economic lunacy.” – Roifield Brown Hosted on Acast.

This episode of Mid Atlantic tackles two seismic geopolitical issues shaping transatlantic discourse. First, Donald Trump's alarming suggestion that the U.S. should take control of Gaza sparks global outrage, raising questions about America's stance on foreign intervention and human rights. The panel—featuring host Royfield Brown, progressive organizer Aram Fischer, polling expert Logan Phillips, mediator Leah Brown, and tech entrepreneur Michael Donahue—dissects the domestic and international fallout, the Republican Party's reaction, and how this aligns with Trump's broader disregard for international norms.Then, the UK's agreement to transfer sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius—while retaining control of Diego Garcia for military operations—triggers fresh debates about colonial legacy and national security. As Keir Starmer takes heat for a deal orchestrated under the Conservatives, the panel examines Britain's reluctance to fully reckon with its imperial past and whether this move signals true decolonization or a carefully managed power play.To wrap up, the panel weighs in on the Super Bowl—some with genuine excitement, others with absolute indifference.

This episode of Mid-Atlantic examines the latest political and economic turmoil on both sides of the Atlantic. In the US, Trump's sweeping executive orders, including plans for an immigration detention center at Guantanamo Bay, signal a hard-line second-term agenda. His tariffs threaten global trade, while his federal appointments prioritize loyalty over competence. Across the UK, immigration dominates headlines as the population surpasses that of France, fueling debates over national identity, economic necessity, and post-Brexit trade strategy. Meanwhile, China's DeepSeek AI has sent shockwaves through Silicon Valley, raising questions about the West's technological dominance and the future of work in an AI-driven world.Logan Phillips, Denise Hamilton, Dave Smith, Tonye Altraide, and Michael Donahue break down the real motives behind Trump's policy blitz, the UK's struggles to reconcile border control with labor shortages, and whether AI will lead us toward utopia or economic collapse. With a mix of analysis, frustration, and a few well-placed snarky remarks, this episode tackles the intersection of power, populism, and technology.Notable Quotes:Logan Phillips: “Building an immigration detention centre at Guantanamo Bay? It's cruelty for the sake of spectacle.”Denise Hamilton: “You can't negotiate with someone willing to cut the throats of his own people just to stop minorities and women from succeeding.”Michael Donahue: “AI is going to rule our lives in 30 years anyway—enjoy it while it's still fun.”Dave Smith: “Britain keeps trying to reclaim a role it held by force, not by consensus. Maybe it's time to figure out what we actually want to be.”Tonye Altraide: “We've allowed people to redefine Britain as something it's not. This country is supposed to be about fairness, inclusion, and dignity.”Further Reading:Race to the White House – US Election ForecastsThe Guardian: UK Immigration and Economic PolicyBBC: AI and the Future of Work Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, host Roifield Brown leads a lively panel discussion on the recent debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. The panel, featuring Denise Hamilton, Logan Phillips, Aram Fischer, Michael Donahue, Dave Smith, and Tonye Altrade, analyzes Harris's strong performance, which many viewed as a decisive victory that left Trump on the defensive. Despite Harris's commanding presence, the polls haven't shifted dramatically, leading to a deeper conversation on the reliability of early polling and the enduring stability of Trump's base.The group dissects Harris's strategy of contrasting substantive policy points with sharp jabs at Trump, which effectively kept him off-balance throughout the debate. They also explore the broader implications of the debate for key swing states like Pennsylvania, where viewership was notably high. Despite some skepticism from panelist Logan Phillips, who cautions that Trump's support remains more resilient than expected, others argue that Harris's poised approach might gradually erode Trump's appeal, particularly among undecided voters and key demographics.Quotes from the Episode:1. "Kamala's basic pattern was, say something substantive about policy, then close with a jab that made Trump want to punch her." — Aram Fischer2. "I want a leader that does their homework, that cares enough about me to prepare." — Denise Hamilton3. "Kamala just got lucky enough that it came up on the debate stage. He's been saying some wild stuff." — Logan Phillips4. "We have got to get out of this post-truth season of how we interact with each other in America." — Denise Hamilton5. "For whatever reason, Trump does not have the same effect on people. And I don't think you're going to see his supporters running for the hills after that debate performance." — Logan Phillips Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this week's episode of Mid Atlantic, host Roifield Brown and his panel of political experts—Zee Cohen Sanchez, Logan Phillips, Corey Bernard, Aram Fisher, and Olissa Jones—dive into the chaotic landscape of U.S. and U.K. politics. On the U.S. side, the focus is on the latest struggles of Donald Trump's campaign as Kamala Harris gains momentum in the race for the presidency. The discussion centers on Harris's unexpected surge in key battleground states, her consolidation of the Democratic base, and the strategic shifts within the Trump campaign. The panel dissects the potential impact of RFK Jr.'s candidacy on the election and the challenges Trump faces in maintaining his support.Switching gears to the U.K., the episode explores the economic aftermath of 14 years of Tory rule and how Labour, under Keir Starmer, is navigating the current political climate. The conversation covers the surprising timing of Rishi Sunak's election call, the challenges facing the Labour government as they manage public expectations, and the subdued Tory leadership race. The pundits debate the impact of Starmer's perceived lack of bold vision and the struggles of the Conservative Party to capture public interest in their leadership contest.The episode also takes a lighter turn with a lively discussion about the Olympics. Roifield and the panelists express mixed feelings about the inclusion of new sports like breakdancing and skateboarding in the Olympic Games. While some appreciate the evolution of the games to include modern sports that resonate with younger audiences, others argue that sports requiring subjective judging lack the clear, objective criteria that define traditional Olympic competitions. The conversation reflects on the changing nature of the Olympics and whether the event has lost some of its magic and global appeal.Five Notable QuotesLogan Phillips: "Kamala Harris has taken the lead in the polling... the question is whether the electoral map will mirror 2020 or if we're witnessing a fundamental shift."Zee Cohen Sanchez: "Kamala Harris has become part of pop culture. That's huge for young voters, but there's still a fear—RFK could be the wild card."Corey Bernard: "Keir Starmer is lucky, but only because Rishi Sunak made the strategic blunder of calling an early election."Aram Fisher: "Tim Walz is the perfect response to MAGA politics—he's mainstream enough to appeal to the center while throwing punches when needed."Olissa Jones: "The entire British political system is lacking credible, charismatic figures at this point in time—it's like we're tinkering around the edges."

Logan Phillips from Race to the White House will jojn us to discuss the 2024 Election. Also, newly elected DNC member and 5th Congressional Chair Maria Banjo will be filling in for Tim Shiflett.

In a seismic shift in American politics, Vice President Kamala Harris is now the presumptive Democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential election, following President Joe Biden's withdrawal. This unexpected turn of events has ignited both enthusiasm and apprehension among Democrats and political pundits alike.On today's episode of "Mid Atlantic," Roifield Brown navigates this political earthquake with an esteemed panel: Dave Smith from London, Logan Phillips from Washington DC, Zee Cohen Sanchez from Nevada, Mike Donaghue from Los Angeles, Corey Bernard from Manchester, and Denise Hamilton from Jamaica. The discussion spans Harris's impact on the Democratic campaign, her polling status, and strategic shifts needed by both parties.Polling Shifts and Historical Parallels Logan Phillips kicks off the conversation by analyzing polling data, noting that while Biden was trailing Trump by about two points, Harris's numbers mirror Biden's but lack historical reliability. Drawing a parallel to Hubert Humphrey's late surge in 1968, Phillips suggests the true impact of Harris's candidacy will become clearer in the coming weeks.Enthusiasm Among Key Demographics Denise Hamilton highlights Harris's traction among younger voters, people of color, and women. Hamilton, who was on a historic Zoom call with 40,000 women, shares the palpable excitement and organizational power rallying behind Harris. She emphasizes Harris's qualifications and the need for experienced leadership over personality-driven politics.Potential Republican Strategies Corey Bernard and others discuss the likely Republican pivot to focus on Harris's perceived weaknesses and a more aggressive campaign strategy, emphasizing issues like abortion and crime. However, the panel agrees that such attacks may backfire, especially given Harris's diverse support base and the fresh energy she brings compared to Biden.Foreign Policy and Progressive Stance Dave Smith and Zee Cohen Sanchez weigh in on Harris's foreign policy moves, such as skipping Netanyahu's address, which could appeal to younger, more progressive voters. They debate the balance Harris must strike between continuity and presenting a rejuvenated Democratic vision.Vice Presidential Choices The conversation rounds out with speculation on Harris's potential VP picks, with Mark Kelly and Josh Shapiro being top contenders. Both bring swing state appeal, but Shapiro's potential to avoid a Senate seat loss for Democrats makes him a particularly strategic choice.Quotes from the Episode:"Harris's polling mirrors Biden's, but we need to see where this race actually is in three weeks." – Logan Phillips"We have done the impossible and the incredible time and time again." – Denise Hamilton"The Democratic Party has made a stance, right? They need Jewish donors." – Zee Cohen Sanchez"I think they'll go heavy on portraying her as an uber-liberal, but it's a strategy that could easily backfire." – Corey Bernard"Skipping Netanyahu's address was the right move politically and morally." – Logan Phillips Hosted on Acast.

In the latest episode of "Mid Atlantic," host Roifield Brown is joined by a global panel including Z Cohen Sanchez from Arizona, Logan Phillips from Washington, DC, Dave Smith from London, and Mike Holden from Burnley. The discussion kicks off with the unfolding UK election campaign, highlighting Nigel Farage's return to frontline politics and the anticipated leaders' debate. The panel dissects Farage's impact on the Conservative Party and the potential electoral consequences of his bid to become an MP in Clapton.Dave and Mike debate the significance of Farage's comeback, emphasising the potential devastation to the Conservative vote. They analyse whether Reform Party votes will translate into parliamentary seats and discuss the broader implications for the Tory party's future. Logan provides a snapshot of current UK polls, showing a significant shift in voter sentiment towards the Reform Party and away from the Conservatives.The conversation then shifts to the aftermath of Donald Trump's recent conviction and its impact on the US political landscape. Logan Phillips discusses the polling implications, noting a slight uptick for Biden but emphasising the need for more data to fully understand the trends. The panel also explores the potential long-term threat posed by Trump's candidacy and the broader challenges facing American democracy.Quotes from the Episode:"Farage's comeback is the worst news Rishi Sunak has had in the last 48 hours." - Mike Holden"A 400-seat majority in Parliament is not a healthy thing. It will lead to real problems in terms of scrutiny and what the government does." - Dave Smith"Biden looked very old and not exciting during the primary debates, but at least now, both him and Trump are of similar cognitive ability." - Z Cohen Sanchez"The no audience part of the debate format is the greatest political bear trap that's been laid recently." - Dave Smith"Trump's speech after the verdict was incomprehensible. His declining cognitive abilities are catching up with him." - Roifield Brown Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Roifield Brown, broadcasting from Birmingham, delves into the intricate world of American politics. With the help of political pollster Logan Phillips, the discussion centers around the recent Iowa caucus results and their implications for the Republican presidential race. The episode examines Donald Trump's significant lead over rivals Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley, despite his minimal campaigning efforts in Iowa. This leads to a broader debate on the efficacy and democratic nature of the U.S. primary system, questioning whether it's time for a revamp. Special attention is given to Nikki Haley's surging popularity, especially following Chris Christie's exit from the race. The episode also explores the potential impacts of the primary system on American democracy, considering the risk of political extremism and the need for more focused candidate selection.Quotes:Roifield Brown: "It's like a complex chess game where every move redefines the board. The primary system, with its obscene spending and often irrelevant maneuvers, begs the question: Is it time for a rethink?"Logan Phillips: "With Trump's looming presence over Iowa, it challenges the state's traditional role in shaping the presidential race. It's not about whether he'll win Iowa; it's about how much he'll win by."Logan Phillips on Nikki Haley: "Haley's rise in New Hampshire, now over 30% in polls, is not just a surge but a strategic consolidation of anti-Trump sentiment. Her challenge is winning over the key demographic still open to Trump, a task that requires more than just being the establishment choice." Hosted on Acast.

Logan founded RacetotheWH when he was a graduate student at Columbia. He started building the foundation for the website during his Presidential Campaign Management class taught by Professor Karrine Jeanne Pierre, who would later become President Biden's Press Secretary. Before Graduate School, Logan gained experience in American politics both in D.C. and around the country. He worked in President Obama's White House as an intern for the Department of Scheduling and Advance. He's worked on Hillary Clinton's 2016 Presidential campaign and Connecticut Governor Dan Malloy's Re-Election. He also worked on the political team for the American Institute of Architecture. Finally, his undergraduate degree was at Gettysburg College, where he studied political science, with a focus on presidential decision-making. He launched RacetotheWH in June 2020. It proved to be highly accurate in its first election cycle, although it initially received limited attention. Viewership exploded in 2022, when it was used by over 2 million Americans across the country, and viewed over 7 million times.  Logan takes a scientific approach to building election models. He rigorously tests his models on decades of past election cycles to ensure accuracy. Whenever he develops a new theory to enhance his models, he subjects it to thorough testing. This ensures any changes genuinely improve the model's predictions. It's time-consuming and has taken thousands of hours, but it leads to the best model possible.

In this episode, a diverse panel discusses two topics: the global impact of women's sports and the latest indictment of Donald J. Trump in Georgia. The indictment raises questions about the intersection of justice and politics, impacting the 2024 election. The panel includes Michael Donoghue, an author and political enthusiast from Los Angeles; Logan Phillips, a political pollster from DC; Corey Bernard, a political affairs expert from Manchester; and Leah Brown, CEO of Broadstairs Consulting from Kent. The discussion starts with the complexity of Trump's trial, the role of judges' appointments, and the challenges of separating politics from justice. Despite the foundational principle of unbiased justice, there's heightened attention to judge appointments based on party affiliation. The panel acknowledges that while the desire for a fair trial exists, the reality often involves political considerations. The conversation shifts to polling data. Polls show decreasing trust in the justice system, particularly among Republicans, influenced by Trump's claims of witch hunts and bias. The panel discusses the clash between prosecutors seeking swift trials and Trump's defence team aiming to delay until after the 2024 election. The reasons for the disparity in opinion are debated, with some suggesting a potential impact on Trump's campaign if trials occur before the election. The conversation concludes with the panel highlighting the importance of expeditious trials in the public interest to uphold democracy and justice.The ongoing Women's World Cup serves as a springboard to discuss broader issues in women's football and sports coverage. Despite thrilling matches, the tournament highlights gender disparities in media attention and reporting. Women's sports receive less than 10% of annual coverage compared to men's, which shapes public perception. The panel discusses the impact of media coverage on how women's sports are perceived. While women's sports have increased visibility, they still face a lack of coverage. The Women's World Cup spotlights these issues and provides an opportunity to contemplate the stories that will shape the trajectory of women's sports and football. The final match between England and Spain garners excitement, yet the panel debates the role of media and governing bodies in perpetuating gender disparities. The discussion delves into societal views and biases about women's sports, touching on issues of funding, representation, and recognition. The panel debates reasons behind the unequal media coverage and emphasizes the need to recognize the talent and achievements of women's teams on par with men's, promoting fairness and equality in sports.

In this episode of "Mid Atlantic," host Roifield Brown welcomes Emma Burnell, a UK journalist in London; Logan Phillips, a political pollster in Washington, D.C. and Corey Bernard, a political pundit in Manchester. The discussion revolves around a pivotal political moment in the United States. The main topic is a Republican proposed constitutional amendment, Issue One, which faced a resounding defeat in a recent special election. The amendment aimed to raise the threshold for future constitutional amendments from a simple majority to 60%. The defeat was seen as an attempt to hinder an upcoming referendum and garnered national attention due to its implications for abortion rights.The conversation delves into the impact of the defeat on abortion rights supporters and the connection between the proposed amendment and women's health care decisions. The panelists discuss the polling data and the landslide nature of the defeat, with little middle ground between the predictions. They highlight similar instances in other states like Kansas and Michigan, where efforts to restrict women's rights through ballot initiatives also faced significant defeats. On to the UK, Greenpeace has criticised the UK government for its perceived failure to address the climate crisis while simultaneously engaging in divisive culture wars. This critique follows a surprising Tory victory in the Uxbridge by-election, attributed to opposition against the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ). Greenpeace argues that the government's neglect of climate concerns contrasts with the increasing frequency of extreme weather events. The podcast panelists discuss how the ULEZ issue influenced the by-election and the Tory government's subsequent reaction to the organisation's protests, including directing officials to cease engagement with Greenpeace. This raises questions about whether the Tory government is engaging in a culture war against climate change advocates. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
