| 0:09.5 | Today on the show, we've hit the six-month mark of the Trump presidency. How would the UK and the |
| 0:15.6 | world grade his performance so far? What do Americans |
| 0:21.2 | allies make of the president's relationship with Vladimir Putin? And with Brexit on the horizon, |
| 0:27.5 | what is the future of Europe? I've gathered a terrific panel here in London to discuss all that |

| 1:39.2 | facing America, a deep frustration with the existing political system. He embraced and expressed |
| 1:44.8 | somewhat inconsistently a populism that went beyond the traditional left-right divide. |
| 1:50.4 | So, what would things look like at this point if President Trump had governed in the manner of |
| 1:54.8 | a pragmatic, jobs-oriented reformer who was relentlessly focused on those forgotten Americans, |
