Listen to the last episode:
It is just three weeks since Donald Trump was inaugurated but his impact has been huge. A flurry of executive orders and aggressive actions is already reshaping American life.
On today's podcast Hugh discusses the Trump presidency with conservative commentator Michael Brendan Dougherty.
The conversation covers Dougherty's evolving views on Trump, the impact of Trump's executive orders, and the ideological shifts within American conservatism.
They explore Trump's unpredictable political strategies, the tension within the Republican Party and the challenges facing the Democratic Party in regaining lost constituencies.
Michael Brendan Dougherty is a writer for National Review and the author of My Father Left Me Ireland.
