The Trump Report

Editor of The Insider, Michael Weiss, joins Maddie Hale to discuss the Guardian reporting the CIA & MI6 uncovered plans for Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine months before but had their warnings dismissed, US fighter jets intercept Russian warplanes in airspace off the coast of Alaska and Les Wexner and his attorney are caught in a hot mic moment while testifying before the House Oversight Committee. 

On this episode of The Trump Report, Fergus Macphee speaks to former British Army colonel Hamish de Bretton-Gordon to discuss the huge build up of US military force in the Middle East. Hamish says he thinks the President is planning regime change and the amount of force included indicates this may be a prolonged campaign.

Professor Scott Lucas joins Maddie Hale to discuss Axios’ report the United States & Israel are days away from a major war with Iran, why a full-scale conflict with Iran would contradict Donald Trump’s presidential promises and a recent report accuses the DOJ of removing FBI documentation from the Epstein files which detailed an alleged victim interviewed four times about her sexual assault claims against President Trump.

Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, joins Maddie Hale to explain why he believes the Epstein files is causing Republicans and Democrats to point fingers at each other as a “distraction” when the bigger picture involves alleged ties between the late paedophile & Israel, and whether the CIA orchestrated a coverup. 

On today's episode of The Trump Report, Fergus Macphee is joined by Graham Lanktree, Senior Trade Reporter at Politico. They discuss an exclusive piece he has co-authored which claims Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney is spearheading a new trade alliance between the EU and 12 other Indo-Pacific nations in the wake of Trump's tariffs.

Sir Bill Browder joins Maddie Hale to discuss the takeaways from the Munich Security Conference, lawmakers who have gone against Donald Trump in demanding transparency over the Epstein files allude to fearing for their lives and why a potential economic package between the US and Russia should “disturb” Americans.

Professor Robert Kelly joins Maddie Hale to discuss Nancy Mace sending a stern message she “won’t back down” from exposing those involved in Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes, how the DOJ’s mishandling of the Epstein files has alienated even the most staunch Trump supporters and the Munich Security Conference begins this weekend after JD Vance’s controversial speech at last year’s event.

Professor David Cay Johnston joins Maddie Hale to discuss Nancy Mace labelling the Department of Justice’s handling of the Epstein files as “one of the greatest coverups in American history”, Attorney General Pam Bondi faces gruelling questioning at a House Judiciary Committee hearing and a 2019 FBI investigation contradicts Donald Trump.

On this episode of The Trump Report, Fergus Macphee speaks to economics professor Justin Wolfers about positive January figures for the US labour market. Yet beneath the data, a slightly more complicated picture emerges.
