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. If you go to its site and become a supporter, you can watch the entire video archive. A classic I recommend: “Be it resolved, religion is a force for good in the world” with Tony Blair debating Christopher Hitchens.

Trump has been making some foreign policy moves I didn’t entirely expect. He seems determined to get a nuclear deal with Iran. He’s been public about his disagreements with Benjamin Netanyahu. He called Vladimir Putin “crazy.” And he keeps talking about wanting his legacy to be that of a peacemaker.
So what, at this point, can we say about Trump’s foreign policy? What is he trying to do, and how well is it working? If he succeeds, what might his legacy be?
Emma Ashford is a senior fellow at the Stimson Center, a foreign policy think tank, and the author of the forthcoming book “First Among Equals.” She comes from a school of thought that’s more sympathetic to the “America First” agenda than I typically am. But she’s also cleareyed about what is and isn’t working and the ways that Trump is an idiosyncratic foreign policy maker who isn’t always following an “America First” agenda himself.

Zohran Mamdani created a new anti-establishment playbook — in his use of social video, his focus on affordability and his position on Israel.
His assumed victory in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary, trouncing the former governor Andrew Cuomo, was one of the biggest political upsets in years. And while the electorate in this case is pretty specific, I think it still points to some tectonic changes in Democratic politics.
My friend Chris Hayes, the host of MSNBC’s “All In With Chris Hayes,” came on the show earlier this year to talk about his book “The Sirens’ Call,” which is all about how social media and the new attention economy are shaping politics. So I wanted to bring him back for a sequel, to get “The Sirens’ Call” take on Mamdani’s victory, and Hayes’s insights as a born-and-raised New Yorker, with a deep feel for both the city’s politics and the broader Democratic Party.

Aaron David Miller is a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and a longtime diplomat in the region. He joins me to discuss recent events and how the latest attacks on Iran have changed the balance of power in the Middle East.

Why has a mayoral race in New York sparked conversations across America about the future of the Democratic party, and the state of politics in the United States? Zohran Mamdani, who looks set to be confirmed as the Democrat’s new candidate for the Mayor of New York has already been labelled a ‘disruptor’ a ‘visionary’ and a ‘communist lunatic’ by Donald Trump. Sarah, Justin and Marianna look at who he is, his politics, and what impact his victory might have beyond New York, America’s largest city. We also speak to author (Moneyball, The Big Short) and financial journalist Michael Lewis about his new book ‘Who is Government’, about the inner workings of federal agencies in the US, about why the Democrats need to reinvent their party - and reimagine their next frontrunner.

… Men Jonas Gahr Støre later som det er Sylvi Listhaug som er motstanderen. En bløff, mener DNs Frithjof Jacobsen.
Med tre fremskyndede pressekonferanser på rappen, vil Høyre slå tilbake stille-i-båten-stempelet. Særlig skatteløftet var klart og ideologisk plassert på borgerlig side. Poenget er å la folk beholde mer av sine egne penger, ikke primært å få folk til å jobbe mer.
Her trumfer frihet og individualisme fellesskapsbehovene, i hvert fall i retorikken.
Men der Solberg snakker om en mulig høyre-ledet regjering, omtaler Joans Gahr Støre det borgerlige alternativet konsekvent som en Sylvi Listhaug-ledet regjering. Det gjør han sikkert lurt i, men ifølge Frithjof Jacobsen er hele ideen en bløff. Et borgerlig flertall uten et stort høyre, er nemlig helt usannsynlig, mener han.

Verden skjelver etter Trumps tolltiltak. Selv mener han at USA skal tjene masse penger på de nye murene. Men hvem skal ta regningen? Rike investorer, småbedrifter eller vanlige amerikanere? Ledende republikanere drømmer om at alt sammen snart skal forsvinne, slik at frihandelen igjen kan råde fritt. Men er det bare ønsketenkning?
Samtidig krangler Trump-rådgiverne Elon Musk og Peter Navarro nå helt åpenlyst. Det brygger opp til en indre storm mellom fløyene i Trumps verden. Må han velge mellom Musk og Maga-grunnfjellet? Og hvem er egentlig «Ron Vara»?
Med kommentator Christina «Anspent Litchitre» Pletten, korrespondent Kjetil «Jahn Siktelsen» Hanssen og programleder Kristoffer «Bek Forretningsfører» Rønneberg.
