Trump's cabinet picks get wild - but can they get...

Mallen Baker: Faultlines ·

2024/11/15

Matt Gaetz, Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F Kennedy Jr are amongst the recent names released by President-Elect Trump as his nominations for his cabinet. To say the least, they have caused something of a stir - a lot more so than his earlier picks. Why are they controversial? Will they get through the confirmation process? And will Trump try to sidestep that process to get his picks through, regardless what the founders intended when they framed the constitution? Let's discuss.

Why Kamala lost and Trump won big

Mallen Baker: Faultlines ·

2024/11/08

After years of our lives being taken up by the campaign for the US presidency, we finally have a result. And against the apparent polling, it is a clear and unambiguous result. Donald Trump has performed the most remarkable political comeback, has cemented his role as a transformational president in the politics of the United States, and at a stroke has removed his legal woes and avoided any likelihood of going to prison. How did the Democrats lose this, when they felt they had fought a "nearly

The US election is here, and it got even more stupid

Mallen Baker: Faultlines ·

2024/11/01

The US election has ... finally ... arrived. It's all over, bar the shouting. Except that the shouting has gotten pretty loud, and it's likely to continue for quite some time after the election has taken place. This possibly counts as one of the dumbest elections in American history - and if possible it got even dumber over the last week. Let's recount the ways, and make some fervent hopes for an outcome that manages not to wreck the US system of democracy - whichever candidate wins.Support Mallen's

Electric vehicles - the new battleground for the world

2023/09/29

In the US, in the UK and the EU - the proposed shift from internal combustion cars to electric vehicles is starting to become a major factor in a big political shift that's going on. What's driving it (pun not intended!), and just how far is it going to go in rocking our old political assumptions?

UK net zero debate just changed ... for the better

Mallen Baker: Faultlines ·

2023/09/22

This week, Rishi Sunak just announced pushing back of a few net zero targets - but much more significantly signalled a shift in campaign positioning that has thrust the issue to the centre of the conflict between the two main parties in advance of the general election. Labour leader Keir Starmer now has to work out if this is a great opportunity, or a poison-laden trap.

More mainstream voices are starting to be raised highlighting the likely outcome for where America is currently headed.

Is Elon Musk now the face of unaccountable power?

2023/08/25

Elon Musk is so often at the centre of every important issue or controversy - he is a techno-optimist, he is pro-free speech, he is desperate for man to colonise Mars - you name it. He is also powerful on the world stage. And somewhat unaccountable. Is that a problem? Let's discuss.

Ukraine's slow counter-offensive - this could last...

Mallen Baker: Faultlines ·

2023/08/11

Two months in to Ukraine's counter-offensive, and so far - while there have been gains - they are well short of what people had hoped for. The implication is that this war is going to last years not months, notwithstanding the unexpected. How does that realisation begin to change the landscape - for Russia, for Ukraine, for the West?Support this channel!https://patreon.com/mallenbakerThe Mallen Baker Show covers news, current affairs, science and politics.

A new political phase on climate change is emerging

2023/07/28

Over time, how we understand an ongoing issue, and aim to act on it, will evolve and change. We've been in the same phase on climate change for several decades - but right now it seems as though we may be entering the transition to the next phase.

Maybe companies should have values.

Putin's bad week

It wasn't a coup, but it looked like a coup. Putin wasn't bothered, but he certainly looked bothered. Really, it was just a protest. The sort of protest where you destroy military planes on the way. So just what HAS been going on in Russia this week, and what does it mean?

Boris Johnson has left the building - before launching a broadside against the Parliamentary Privileges Committee process just before it delivered its damning verdict. It found that he had lied repeatedly - which isn't much of a shock. The question is this. Was this the system upholding its commitment to integrity in public life? Or was it a politically biased hatchet job carrying out an act of sabotage against Johnson's hopes of a return? Indeed - could it be both at the same time? Let's

A drone attack hits the Kremlin building. Once again, the world is left wondering "who dunnit?".
