Summary

The first 100 days of Donald Trump’s second presidential term have been overwhelming. He’s signed a record 142 executive orders and cultivated historic unpopularity. What have we learned so far and CAN IT GET ANY WORSE? Host of the Home Front podcast Reed Galen joins us from across the pond. Plus, the media has spent so much time deliberating young men’s hard turn to the right of politics, but what about the women turning left and to the Greens? And in the Extra Bit for subscribers: the Lib Dems want to ban loud music on trains. A good idea or one that will fall on deaf ears? • Don’t miss our new podcast Crime Scene with Bernard Hogan-Howe and Alison Phillips – the truth behind true crime, every Thursday. • We’re on YouTube!: https://www.youtube.com/@ohgodwhatnow www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Ros Taylor with Matt Green and Marie Le Conte.

0:44.2	Plus, why do we focus so much on the young men who are voting reform, but not the young women turning left?
0:49.9	And in the extra bit for supporters, how do you solve a problem like loud music on trains?

1:03.6	After years of hearing that young people are too idle to come into the office and only want to work from home,

1:26.4	you know, the workers to one side and the essentially
1:28.9	commercial developers on the other when it's a bit like, okay, but, you know, I'm sure it's
