  • Executive Disorder - Worst. Reboot. Ever.
    2025/01/24
    Alex Andreou, Naomi Smith with special guest USA Politics Guru, Dr. Brian Klaas, look at the flurry of executive orders and try to sort the wheat from the chaff. And how should Europe respond? Which fights are not worth fighting and where the red lines should be drawn. Plus 'Wokey Dokey' and 'Grin and Share It'. ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** “Donald Trump simultaneously says we should execute drug dealers and pardoned the largest drug market creator in human history. And so he is creating one of the hallmarks of authoritarian rule, which is a tier of justice that says: if you’re my friend, if you’re an ally, the rules don’t apply.” “The Republican Party, when it goes on to legislation, it’s in trouble. The stuff that they’re proposing, with the exception of immigration, some of the domestic policy proposals they have are toxic.” “The economy is the one area where the political laws of gravity could apply. You cannot tell people that their grocery bill has gone down when it hasn’t. But the motivated reasoning of ‘now Trump is back, everything is good’ - that will get him through for quite a while.” “Musk could have the world’s best information service at his fingertips. Information is the crucial part of good decision-making in life and he could have the single best private intelligence agency in the world. And instead he’s getting his news from idiot zealots on X.” “There’s going to be things that the Trump administration is able to do internationally, by throwing around American power, which is formidable. The question is whether that is a good strategy over the long run. You can get people to do things because they’re afraid of you, but there’s a view that, long term, this erodes American power.” “If [as a European gov’t] you pull your punches all the time, you’re going to end up with the worst of every world: you’re going to end up undercutting your own dignity and power on the international stage, and you’re not going to get Trump to change.” GRIN AND SHARE IT Read - and watch video - about equal marriage being legalised in Thailand.

  • Midnight Mass: Oligarchs Assemble
    2025/01/21
    Join us for some group therapy! Naomi and Alex welcome back 38Degrees CEO and former Obama campaign staffer Matthew McGregor with some first impressions of Trump's low-energy inauguration speech, his high-energy overflow speech, Melania's get-away-from-me-energy hat and Musk's chemically-enhanced-energy salute. ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** "So much of it was about him. So much of it was about how he's the best and how he's suffered and how he's the victim. Contrast that with 'ask not what your country can do for you'. It was an extraordinarily self-centered inauguration speech." "Once he was in the other room, he gave the speech he really wanted to. He wanted to talk about January the 6th. He wanted to open up old wounds. He will never ever let go of the injustice that he perceives happened to him back in 2020.” "We should be outraged. We should stay angry. And we should be up for resisting what Donald Trump is going to try to do to America. But there's no point in pretending that he is a novice, an idiot, someone who is deranged. He knows what he's doing." “John McCain said it's always darkest just before it goes completely black. I'm glad to be, experiencing the pain, with you both, in a group therapy setting.” CALLS TO ACTION To find out more about (and donate if in the US) to Planned Parenthood click here.

  • Sunday School: Breturn of The Tusk
    2025/01/19
    Naomi and Alex look at the week's news, focussing on Starmer's visit to Poland and Donald Tusk's dream of "Breturn". Also, the markets seem to be recovering and the media appears not to have noticed - it's almost like there's an agenda there. Plus, is TikTok about to "go dark" in the US? ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** “Tusk is successful where the Remain campaign was not. He makes the emotional appeal. He goes for hearts instead of minds. It’s not a coincidence that he is also the person reversing the trend for ever-further-right governments in former Eastern Bloc countries, by bringing together a broad coalition. He is pointing the way on a lot of this stuff.” “Both the UK and the EU need to capitalise on current circumstances and bake in some stuff that is hard to reverse. They don’t know with whom they will be negotiating next time. I think Donald Tusk gets that and has gone out there and shown Starmer some pretty difficult-to-squirm-away-from love.” Click here for your Quiet Riot Bluesky Starter Pack.
