The NRA Radicalisation & Rupert’s Settlement Spiral - Irishman In America With Marion McKeone

Latest polls show the Harris lead narrowing ever so slightly. Is the Trump rope a dope approach working at last. Marion looks at the new Bob Woodward book and the revelations around Putin and his free COIVD test hand out from Trump. Elon Musk and Obama appeared at rallies this week. We compare both performances and preview the new Apprentice movie. Was Netflix afraid of this film? Hear full episode of this podcast every week on www.patreon.com/irishmanabroad

Marion asks what will move needle in the minds of American swing voters? The VP Debate definitely didn’t do it. Jack Smith damning 165 page filing on January 6th doesn’t seem to have done it? Could the impact of Israel’s attacks on Iran make the difference? If that impact is at the gas pump you can bet Americans will notice. This week on the podcast we look back an intense week on the campaign trail.

This week Donald tries to convince women he is their white knight, New York City has Gotham City’s problems, the Harris campaign shuns Al Smith and Marion looks ahead to the VP debate. Even the massive tech issues we had this morning with this episode couldn’t stop us getting you the exclusive Patreon weekly instalment of Irishman In America. We even managed to find the time to squeeze in a listener letter from Jack Ryan. With only 38 days until America goes to the polls both campaigns are zeroing in on the undecided voters in the swing states. Harris’s attempt to look like a gun owning ”get off my lawn” hardliner hit a bum note with Oprah while her latest ad from the Lincoln Project begs voters to get over ”the woman thing”. We look at what the polls say and whether they have been adjusted to be more reliable than in previous campaigns.

As Vance & Trump double down on their false claims about what the Haitian population of Springfield Ohio have been eating the city has been thrown into turmoil. Marion McKeone examines the potential impact of this on the election. Together with comedian Jarlath Regan, she looks back on the fallout from debate 1 and the likelihood of a second debate. Violent rhetoric has been blamed for the latest assassination plot. Can it be cooled? Or have things spiralled beyond all control. Sean Combs faces the music, the Teamsters won’t support anyone and what exactly motivates a swing state voter. It’s all here in this week’s episode.
