Jeffrey Goldberg's story in the Atlantic is so mind-blowing it's hard to know what to say in response. It defies belief that Donald Trump's National Security Adviser, Mike Waltz, appears to have accidentally added a top journalist to a Signal messaging group with senior government officials – including the Vice President, Secretary of State, Defence Secretary and the Director of National Intelligence – to discuss top-secret military action. It boggles the brain that the people running the most powerful country on the planet, the Principals Committee of US national security no less, use childish emojis to discuss a bombing campaign which they helped co-ordinate in order to kill 53 people. It's another painful reminder that, whether Trump or Biden is in the White House, the free world is not being led by serious people. Deputy and US editor Freddy Gray is joined by Ben Domenech, editor-at-large of Spectator World, to discuss. You can watch this episode on YouTube! Click here.

Chicago Way w/John Kass (03/10/25): Charles Lipson, joins John Kass & Jeff Carlin this week. Charles is the Peter B. Ritzma Professor of Political Science Emeritus at the University of Chicago and an author whose writings can be found in the Spectator, Spectator World, The Telegraph, and more. On the docket, President Trump’s address to […]

Freddy is joined by The Spectator World's deputy US editor, Kate Andrews, and The Telegraph columnist, Tim Stanley, to talk about Keir Starmer's much-anticipated meeting with Donald Trump in Washington. Across the board, it has been read as a success – at least domestically, that is. The victories include movement on the Ukraine backstop, some positive discussions around the UK avoiding tariffs, and a second state visit is on the horizon as well. The biggest win, though, was the number of compliments that the president gave Starmer, including – puzzlingly – about his accent. The Spectator World's Ben Domenech secured an interview with Donald Trump after the Starmer meeting, in which he was similarly effusive about the PM: ‘I thought he was very good. I met him twice before – you know, he came to see me twice before – but this time was the best. And I think we got along very well.' You can find more from that interview on The Spectator World website.

Following Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defence, are RFK Jr for Secretary of Health and Human Services, Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence and Kash Patel for Director of the FBI.Democrats and progressives are frothing with indignation at the MAGA picks. How will they fight back? Why are these controversial?We sat down with journalist and broadcaster Ben Domenech to unravel it all. Ben is Editor at Large of The Spectator World and co-founder of The Federalist.Ben explains what to expect and what Trump's picks can do turn America around. We discuss VP J.D.

Freddy Gray is joined by Ben Domenech, editor-at-large of Spectator World to discuss a strange video of Kamala Harris released by the official Democratic party account, Trump's counter-signalling appointments and the realignment of the Republican party.

This week: welcome to Planet Elon. We knew that he would likely be a big part of Donald Trump's second term, so it was unsurprising when this week Elon Musk was named – alongside entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy – as a co-leader of the new US Department of Government Efficiency, which will look at federal government waste. When Musk took over Twitter, he fired swathes of employees whose work was actively harming the company, so he's in a perfect position to turn his sights on the bloated federal government. It is, writes Douglas Murray, a once-in-a-generation opportunity to strip a whole layer of rot from the body politic. But can he translate his success in the private sector to the public sector? James Ball, political editor of The New European, and Bridget Phetasy, Spectator World contributing editor, joined the podcast to discuss. (02:17) Then: what's next for the Church of England? The nature of Justin Welby's resignation as Archbishop of Canterbury has no historic precedent in the C of E, writes William Moore, of this parish. One certainty is that the Church leadership will now be under enormous pressure to create a new independent body for safeguarding, but who could be next? The Smyth scandal means that appointing a conservative evangelical would be difficult, but appointing an out-and-out progressive would have its own problems. Whoever eventually succeeds Welby, he or she will inherit a Church more at war with itself than at any time in living memory. Joining the podcast is Rev Julie Conalty, the Bishop of Birkenhead and deputy lead bishop for safeguarding. (20:58) And finally: can you tell your Claret from your Beaujolais? In the magazine this week, drinks writer Henry Jeffreys discusses Beaujolais Day, the festivities started in the famous French appellation d'origine contrôlée that celebrate the first wine of the season. He joined us to discuss everything Beaujolais with Johnny Ray, The Spectator's wine critic. (35:39) Hosted by William Moore and Lara Prendergast. Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

Last night, Donald Trump appeared for what will be his last-ever presidential campaign rally, for a crowd of about 12,000 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He stuck with tradition and ran through many of his greatest hits – dishing out insults, talking about his scrape with death, and dancing to ‘YMCA'. But he did also hammer home his pitch as ‘Trump the fixer', and the one who can undo four years of Biden–Harris. In the crowd was Spectator World's Washington editor, Amber Duke, who joins Kate Andrews from Michigan to discuss what she's seeing on the ground as Americans go to the polls in this key swing state. Which issue will be the one that decides the election? And as Trump tries to mobilise first time and low propensity voters, will his ‘counter-cultural' gamble pay off?

This week: The US election is back on a knife-edge. Republicans hoped this week's debate would expose Kamala Harris's weaknesses. ‘They forgot that, when it comes to one-on-one intellectual sparring matches with candidates who aren't senile, Donald Trump is very bad indeed,' writes Freddy Gray. ‘A skilled politician would have been able to unpick Harris's act, but Trump could not.' Harris is enigmatic to the point of absurdity, but Trump failed to pin her down and may well have squandered his narrow lead. To discuss further, Freddy joined the podcast alongside Amber Duke, Washington editor at Spectator World. (02:05) Next: Lara and Will take us through some of their favourite pieces from this week, including Fraser Nelson's diary on the sale of The Spectator Magazine to Sir Paul Marshall. Then: how to catch a paedophile. London Overwatch, a paedophile hunting group, pose as children online to snare unsuspecting sexual predators. They then confront the suspect and livestream the arrest to thousands of viewers. The Spectator's Max Jeffery went along to see them catch a man who believes he has been speaking to a 14-year-old girl. Max was joined on the podcast by Nick, who runs London Overwatch. (18:34) And finally: is it ethical to pocket a sandwich at a hotel breakfast buffet? Laurie Graham explores the ethics of plundering the hotel buffet in the magazine this week. Specifically, she reveals the very British habit that many Brits swipe food from their free breakfasts to save for lunch later in the day. Laurie joined us alongside Mark Jenkins, a former hotel manager in Torquay who listeners may remember from the Channel 4 documentary ‘The Hotel' (27:51) Hosted by William Moore and Lara Prendergast.  Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

Third-party candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr is widely expected to drop out of the US presidential race soon, and possibly endorse Donald Trump. Live from the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Freddy Gray speaks to Ben Domenech, the Editor at Large of The Spectator World, about how this could affect the election.  As the DNC approaches its climax, following speeches by the Obamas and vice presidential hopeful Tim Walz, Freddy and Ben also talk internal Democratic politics: who stands to benefit if Kamala wins - or loses - in November? Produced by Natasha Feroze and Patrick Gibbons.

WHAT'S NEXT FOR VENEZUELA? Today at 2:30 I've got Juan P. Villasmil is a reporter with The Spectator and a research fellow for the Latin America-focused Center for a Secure Free Society. Yesterday in Washington DC, Villasmil addressed an audience of Venezuelans gathered in the Simon Bolivar Plaza, and appeared on the NTN24 livecast viewed by thousands of Venezuelans around the world. He has first-hand stories to share, including having spoken at a smoke-filled 2016 protest — at the age of 14 — alongside opposition leader Maria Corina Machado. He knows the players, the observers, and the analysts. Over the weekend The Spectator World published a piece by Juan P. Villasmil titled, Things are about to get ugly in Venezuela, in which he writes: Rumors are that Maduro will be announcing his win shortly, but the people aren't having it. “Venezuela has lost its fear,” people are saying all over social media. What will happen? It remains uncertain, but conditions seem ripe for chaos. Unlike past leaders, Machado seems unlikely to accept fraud. Predictions are getting uglier. Those who pray, should be praying tonight, for the Venezuelan people.

This week: bulletproof Trump. The failed assassination attempt on Donald Trump means that his supporters, more than ever, view him as America's Chosen One. Joe Biden's candidacy has been falling apart since his disastrous performance in the first presidential debate last month. Trump is now ahead in the polls in all the battleground states. The whispers in Washington are that the Democrats are already giving up on stopping a second Trump term – and eyeing up the presidential election of 2028 instead. Freddy Gray, deputy editor at The Spectator, and Amber Duke, Washington editor at Spectator World, join the podcast to discuss. (02:45) Next: meeting the mega MAGA fans. The Spectator's political correspondent James Heale reports from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where the Republican National Convention is under way. ‘Brash, flash and full of flair,' reports James, as he meets Donald Trump supporters who are, he says, wearing their MAGA politics with pride. Border control is a common complaint, while other Trumpists hope his near-death experience will see him embrace his faith. James has kindly shared with us a couple of the interviews that informed his piece in the magazine. (14:43) Then: Will and Lara take us through some of their favourite pieces in the magazine this week, including Sir David Hempleman-Adams' notebook and Gus Carter's scoop on Reform's ‘Wimpy' voters.  And finally: how techno-optimism became fashionable. Max Jeffery writes in the magazine this week about the ‘New Solutions', a trio of new ideologies that rich tech savvy ‘geeks' – as he calls them – have adopted in order to make the world a better place. These are: techno optimism, effective altruism and effective accelerationism. He joined us on the podcast to discuss, alongside Anders Sandberg, effective altruist and senior research fellow at the University of Oxford. (24:49) Hosted by William Moore and Lara Prendergast.   Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Patrick Gibbons.

Can Europe survive without its Christian spirit? Can the West? It's a question that's weighing on more and more intelligent people's minds, and Novalis helps us to grapple with it in a unique way. In this episode I look at three key areas--science, religion, and politics--where the secular spirit of Enlightenment humanism has exhausted itself and needs a new source of inspiration. Perhaps those sources are to be found in the middle ages, and perhaps Novalis can help us find them.
