Kevin Roberts, Kellyanne Conway, Ben Rhodes and I battled it out a few weeks ago on a stage in Toronto. This was for a Munk Debate on the motion: “Be it resolved, this is America's Golden Age.” It might not surprise you that I was arguing the negative, alongside Rhodes, a former senior adviser to Barack Obama and the co-host of “Pod Save the World.” Roberts and Conway were on the other side. Roberts is the president of the Heritage Foundation and an architect of Project 2025. Conway was Donald Trump's senior counselor in his first term. The Munk Debates organization has kindly let us share the audio of that debate with you. If you haven't heard of the Munk Debates, you should really check it out. It's a Canadian nonprofit that, for more than 15 years, has been hosting discussions on contentious, thought-provoking topics.

Stay out of wombs Nigel! Reform UK leader Nigel Farage wants us to have more babies - which for new mum Coco feels like being bamboozled into being rightwing. Not only this, Farage is even coming for abortion - saying it's “utterly ludicrous” to allow abortion up to 24-weeks. Keep your wits about you! From leaked memos and inner-circle beef to U-turns and rumoured U-turns - Keir Starmer is feeling the pressure. Nish and Coco dive into the Westminster bubble to find out why the Government has become a leaky ship with Politico reporter Bethany Dawson. Half a decade on from the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests that shook the world, only one third of the recommendations of major reports to tackle endemic racism in the UK has actually been implemented and equality initiatives are facing a rightwing backlash on both sides of the Atlantic. So, is the UK backsliding on racial justice? Guardian community affairs correspondent and author Aamna Mohdin reflects on the personal and political legacy of the largest anti-racism rallies in the UK since the abolition of slavery.

Reunited, Coco and Nish are finally back together in the studio to talk U turns, disability benefits, Brexit and… gimp masks? There's a lot of politics to catch up on including some big shifts from the Labour government. First on Gaza - Keir Starmer and David Lammy changed tack with fierce criticism of the Israeli government. But critics argue that without an actual arms embargo talking tough with Israel is inadequate. So is it all too little, too late? And in another change of direction, the Prime Minister has been listening to voters and his own disgruntled MPs on benefits. He signalled a rethink on one of Labour's most unpopular moves - cutting winter fuel payments for pensioners. But reforms of disability benefits are still on the cards so Nish heads to Westminster where disability activists gathered to lobby their MPs. With a major rebellion on the cards from Labour MPs, can Starmer be steered into a U-turn on this too? Employment minister Alison McGovern explains how she's going to get more young people into work and she has a message for Pod Save the UK's disillusioned Labour voters. And did you think Brexit bollocks was in the rearview mirror? Well sorry - this week the Brexit undead returned with nonsense we thought was safely consigned to the dustbin of history.

Coco's back! She's both sleep and politics deprived, but Nish is ready to fill her in. The government's shake-up of legal migration laws landed this week - but the news has been dominated by one question. Is Keir Starmer Enoch Powell incarnate? His speech warned that we ‘risk becoming an island of strangers, not a nation that walks together' - a careless comment or a reaction to Reform gains? Nish and Coco dissect and take a deep dive into the government's plans with Minnie Rahman, CEO of migrants' rights charity Praxis. Next up, the Government are jumping for joy about the US-UK trade deal, but Nish struggles to find anything to say… is this just a downgrade portrayed as an upgrade? The race for the next leader of the Greens is on, and will Youngblud make a foray into politics? Nish and Coco discuss how to capture the youth vote.

It's Wednesday! Sam welcomes Joel Lava from Tesla Takedown and Mase Veney, an organizer from the Philly Whole Foods Union. First, Sam runs through updates on the Trump Administration's Signal scandal over their accidental leaking of war plans, the Supreme Court's affirmation of Biden's ghost gun regulations, Pennsylvania's special election, the HHS's anti-vaxxer-headed study on autism, trickling details about the legal status of certain Venezuelans renditioned to El Salvador, Trump/Musk's plan to lay off thousands from the Treasury, the Senate GOP's budget, JD Vance's visit to Greenland, SpaceX's secret Chinese backers, and Trump's nomination for Social Security head, before diving into some of the biggest updates to the Trump team's Signal scandal with the full release of messages after Tusli Gabbard's claim that there was “no classified” information in the chat. Joel Lava then joins, diving right into the idea behind the wildly successful “Tesla Takedown” protests in attempting to undercut the overwhelming political power by hitting at its root: his massive wealth tied up in Tesla stocks. After expanding on the greater anti-Trump roots of this, Lava and Sam unpack the protests' goals and how far the stock would have to fall to really screw over Elon's business ventures, wrapping up with how you can join a protest near you – or even start your own! Mase Veney then dives into his personal history working at Whole Foods in Philadelphia, the initial bonding between coworkers over their shared experiences of mistreatment and the company's exploitation of the power imbalance, and the rapid evolution of the organizing process once he and his coworkers realized the overwhelming support the idea of unionization already had, quickly moving to work with United Food & Commercial Workers International to capitalize on their institutional knowledge of organizing within the grocery industry. After expanding on the important role UFCW played in helping them win the union vote with a strong majority, Veney and Sam shift into the Trump era, as they unpack how the company's refusal to recognize the union is bolstered by a neutered NLRB and a hostile Trump Administration, before wrapping up the interview by emphasizing the continuing campaign to keep the all coworkers invested in the fight, and how those of us outside can support the effort! And in the Fun Half: Sam watches MIke Walz try to sidestep questions about his Signal scandal from an incredulous Laura Ingraham, Senator Elizabeth Warren evicerates Trump's Social Security nominee and their relationship to DOGE, and Donald Trump shouts out the real one Chuck Schumer. Lis from California shares his perspective as a DACA recipient, and Kowalski from Nebraska unpacks Trump's terrible tariffs. Sam also watches Tim Pool and Co. go insane at the morally consistent belief in due process for all, and jumps off some criticism from the Pod Save guys as he espouses the need to unite pro-democracy and economic populist messaging. Tammy from Montreal explores a major win for Canada's indigenous communities, Nathan from Illinois talks organized religion and authoritarianism, and the MR Team dissects early results out of PA's special election, plus, your calls and IMs!

Tuesday was a big day in foreign policy news. Israel launched a barrage of airstrikes on Gaza Monday night, its first attack since a ceasefire with Hamas took hold in January. Officials in Gaza say more than 400 people were killed. And President Donald Trump held a 90-minute phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin about the war in Ukraine. Putin ostensibly agreed to a 30-day limited ceasefire on energy and infrastructure targets — far short of the unconditional ceasefire proposal Ukraine and the U.S. negotiated earlier this month. Oh, and Trump threatened ‘dire consequences' for Iran over attacks from Houthi rebels in Yemen. Crooked's own Tommy Vietor, co-host of ‘Pod Save the World,' breaks down all the big international headlines and what they say about Trump's approach to foreign policy.And in headlines: Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts rebuked Trump over his calls to impeach federal judges, the Pentagon continued its purge of website pages honoring minority groups, and two stranded U.S. astronauts returned to Earth.Show Notes:Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8Support victims of the fire – votesaveamerica.com/reliefWhat A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

We're a little over two weeks into President Donald Trump's second term, and already his foreign policy doctrine could be generously described as “all over the place.” From threatening to levy huge tariffs on our close allies only to delay them at the last minute to dismantling foreign aid efforts alongside the world's richest man to now volunteering the U.S. to take control of Gaza, it's all been a bit hard to keep up with. Ben Rhodes, former deputy national security advisor to President Obama and co-host of Crooked's ‘Pod Save the World,' stopped by the studio to talk about the ripple effects of Trump's early foreign policy decisions. And in headlines: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard inched closer to Senate confirmation, The Trump administration is preparing an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education, and a D.C. Superior Court judge handed over The Proud Boys' trademark to a Black church that had been vandalized by members of the far-right group.Show Notes:Check out Pod Save The World – https://tinyurl.com/mrapf4a4Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8Support victims of the fire – votesaveamerica.com/reliefWhat A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

A trigger warning for progressives: this episode contains explicit Trump content.Nish and Coco's nightmare begins with inauguration Trump meme coins, grinning tech bros and disputed Nazi salutes. Then comes the blizzard of executive orders targeting migrants and freeing rioters. But this is not just a bad dream for our liberal hosts. This is the reality of Trump world. The groundwork of MAGA 2.0 has been laid.How should Britain react? The UK's very own “basket of deplorables” including Farage, Truss and Braverman donned their MAGA caps and descended on the US. But they didn't even scrape an invitation to the main event. Back home Keir Starmer and David Lammy opted for love-bombing the new President. But there is an alternative to a sucking up strategy. Pod Save the UK has spotted some green shoots of resistance. While Trump has thrown the Paris Climate Agreement out the window - again - the UK has an opportunity to lead the way on the environment. Green Party co-leader Carla Denyer joins the pod to explain how clever cross party collaboration and campaigning could push through the new Climate and Nature Bill.And Jon Favreau, host of ‘Pod Save America' and ‘Offline', joins Nish and Coco from across the pond to find out what's in store for the US, UK and the world.Useful LinksWrite to your MP about the Climate and Nature Billhttps://action.zerohour.uk/https://www.parliament.uk/get-involved/contact-an-mp-or-lord/contact-your-mp/GuestsJon FavreauCarla Denyer MPAudio CreditsX / Lawrence FoxChannel 4 NewsSky NewsBBCPod Save the UK is a Reduced Listening production for Crooked Media.Contact us via email: PSUK@reducedlistening.co.ukInsta: https://instagram.com/podsavetheukTwitter: https://twitter.com/podsavetheukTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@podsavetheukFacebook: https://facebook.com/podsavetheukYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@PodSavetheUK

Negotiators announced Wednesday that Israel and Hamas had reached a temporary ceasefire deal to pause the 15-month war in Gaza and return some Israeli hostages. President Biden celebrated the news of the deal in comments at the White House, though it still has to be ratified by Israel's government.

Ultimately, it will be up to the incoming Trump administration to make sure both parties uphold their end of the agreement.
