| 0:09.4 | Welcome to The View from 22 podcast. I'm Isabel Hardman, the assistant editor of The Spectator. |
| 0:17.3 | In this week's episode, the Spectator's deputy editor, Freddie Gray and Janet Daly from The Daily Telegraph, |
| 0:22.6 | will be discussing the seemingly unstoppable rise of Donald Trump as he fights for the Republican Party nomination. |
| 0:29.0 | Can anyone get in his way now? |
| 0:31.3 | I'll also be talking to the Spectator's political editor James Forsyth, who asks how David Cameron is managing to buck the crisis in the |
| 0:38.3 | centre-right around the world. What is the secret to the PM's success and can it last? |
| 0:44.1 | And are the Oscars racist? Spectator columnist Rod Little questions why black actors and actresses |
| 0:49.6 | are missing out on being nominated and whether those boycotting the Oscars have a point. |

| 1:46.9 | actually beat Hillary Clinton, who is eminently beatable. Marco Rubio is a dream candidate for the |
| 1:53.3 | Republicans. And if they don't go for him, if they actually do go for either Trump or Cruz, |
| 1:58.9 | they're effectively committing suicide, historical suicide. |
| 2:02.4 | Freddie, how has the Republican Party ended up in this predicament, where it has someone |
