MAGA Turns on The Mad King

About this episode

The President of the United States has officially gone mad. That can be the only conclusion after Trump’s genocidal threats this week to destroy the entire country of Iran, before announcing a two week ceasefire. This week Alex looks at the consequences of the mad king’s actions both abroad and at home. First, she speaks to Mohamed Arrachedi, the Arab world and Iran network coordinator for the International Transport Workers’ Federation, to hear about the dire conditions thousands of seafarers are living in while they remain trapped on ships because of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Then she speaks to Brian Tyler Cohen, host of the No Lie podcast, to talk through the growing chorus of MAGA voices turning against Trump, and the movement to use the 25th amendment to unseat him.
