US Election: Trump vs Biden
🎦 02:14-07:35⏩
Jonathan discusses the forthcoming US elections and speculates that Trump's recent debate performance may not be as damaging as many believe (although acknowledges more polls are needed). Despite Biden's poor performance, a recent poll suggests that he remains one point ahead of Trump (45 vs 44). Despite this, Jonathan believes that Biden should step down and make way for a younger, slicker candidate such as Gavin Newsom, highlighting Biden's age as a potential weakness in such a tight race. He cites the fact that as an incumbent, Biden is statistically likely to win based on the criteria set out by Allan Lichman's Keys to the White House. However, he expresses concern that Biden is no longer at the top of his game and that his age may hamper his ability to recall facts and figures quickly during debates, which could be detrimental given Trump's flagrant disregard for truth and tendency to lie.

Trump's Position on Ukraine

- Events in Europe are not in the interest of the US
- The US should stop providing support to Ukraine as soon as possible.

GOP Support for Ukraine
🎦 14:20-15:20⏩
Jonathan is encouraged by recent polling data suggesting that most Americans now support Ukraine, and that, contrary to the impression given, many GOP members are also supportive. However, he expresses concern that those surrounding Trump, including his family, are dictating the direction of travel for the GOP and that this may influence the actions of other GOP members fearful of losing their jobs.
