Ep.112 Tariffs and the Divergence of US and Europe

In this episode, hosts Alexandra Hall Hall and Jason Pack are reunited in person in Washington DC. Jason talks of his misadventures on Capitol Hill – and relates anecdotes he has picked up about the DOGE sledgehammer, Republicans bullying Canadians, and the post-apocalyptic feeling of the place. Jason and Alex anchor the episode around the divergence between the US and Europe on issues of: democracy, misinformation, corruption and fraud; national security/foreign policy; and economy/tariffs. 

They delve into the way the political climate ‘feels’ in the US under Trump's administration, and the differences in judicial accountability of major political figures between the US and Europe – looking at the Le Pen case in particular.
