Before we get started, I want to tell you about a very

exciting event that it's coming up. It's another Americano live. We've done two so far,

and they've both been great successes, and I'm very confident this next one will be. It's with

the great Anne Coulter, who's coming over from America, especially for it,

and it will be on Monday the 3rd of November at the Emanuel Centre in central London.

To book your ticket or tickets, please click on the link on the description below,

or if like me you're very old fashioned you can type

spectator.co.com.uk forward slash Americano Show, a series of discussions in which we talk about American politics, power and prejudices.

Each week, we will do at least two, possibly more episodes speaking to an American or an American expert about what is

going on in America. We will cover the Trump presidency, of course, but we will also be doing

quite a lot of non-Trump-related podcasts, because if you're anything like me, the story of

Donald Trump can get a bit overwhelming. Please keep listening and enjoy.

Welcome to this Americano Live here at the Battle of Ideas.

Delighted to be here.

Delighted to be joined by James Orr, who is Professor of Religion at Cambridge.
