Why do some Americans dislike Europe?
Oh, these people, they really, really, really do not like Europe. I wouldn't call it antagonism, but certainly... Why not? It is antagonism. One of the reasons America is so great is that there is a legal system that allows people recourse to appeal and so on.
If the story is true, this is a human rights travesty. Let's call it what it is. It's a travesty. But if it's not, then we're all being gaslit and manipulated.
And the worst thing is... We don't know which one of those is right. It seems to me that there isn't any logical reason why the invasion wouldn't be repeated and then the entire world wouldn't find itself right here again.
It's a story about somebody being put in a police cell because of complaints on a parent's WhatsApp group. What's happening?
We're becoming the laughingstock of the world.
Well, did you know you spend a third of your life in bed? That's a lot of time. So why not make every night's sleep the best it can be? That's why we trust Avocado Green Mattress. Unlike most mattresses, which are packed with synthetic foams, chemical flame retardants and petrochemicals, Avocado is made with organic latex, wool and cotton. No toxins or harmful chemicals. And here's what really sold me. Avocado's mattresses are not only built to last, but their organic materials actually help you sleep better. Natural latex supports your body properly, while wool and cotton regulate temperature, keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter. Plus, they offer up to one year sleep trials and generous warranties to make sure it's right for you.

Francis, we have been in the US for two weeks. Now we're recorded about 16 episodes and 14 days. Intense. And we've learned a lot.
What is Trump's approach with tariffs and international relations?
We have learned a lot. We have had what I like to think is a little bit of a wake up call when it comes to America. Because last time we came here, talking for myself, I was like, I understand everything about this country. Turns out, I was a little bit wrong.
Well, I think one of the things that happened with the election of President Trump is that a lot of people projected their own concerns and their own things onto him. And of course, he, like any good politician, like any effective politician, he would have encouraged that. So the people who were concerned about runaway wokeness thought that, you know, that's what he's going to deal with. And he has. The people who are concerned about the size of government thought that that's what he would deal with, and that's what he's doing. The people who were concerned about illegal immigration, which is a lot of people, thought that that's what he'd deal with, and he is dealing with it. But also, he's also doing quite a lot of things that he never talked about on the campaign trail.
All of this stuff about Canada and Greenland and the Panama Canal, etc. I don't remember that being an issue that was discussed. Another interesting thing that's happening is we had a lot of conversations with people behind the scenes, not even on camera particularly, about... the rise in the impact of the religious aspect of the right. And we hosted some conversations on camera in which that was also discussed. But I think the main question that a lot of people don't know the answer to is there's quite a lot of stuff that the Trump administration is doing that most people would agree with. like their domestic policies and a lot of things, like dealing with mass illegal immigration, closing the border.
Tariffs are something that people kind of thought that he would do, maybe not to the same extent. But I think the big question is, what is his overall posture towards the world. Why is he talking so much about these territories near the United States and what he wants to do about that? And also how he's going to deal with Ukraine, how he's going to deal with Israel, how he's going to deal with Iran. And this is the real thing that I don't think anyone expected to be the way it has been. How is he going to deal with Europe? Because we have seen quite a lot of things coming out of the Trump administration. with J.D.
