On Newsagents USA, Donald Trump and God.

And spoiler alert, Donald Trump thinks that God would be on his side.

Big surprise there.

I think if you had a real election and Jesus came down and God came down and said,

I'm going to be the scorekeeper here, I think it would win there.

I think would win in Illinois and I think would win in New York, which is all places in theory.

We also hear about some of his plans for a second administration and what that would mean

for American democracy. We also speak to the former US ambassador to London, Matthew Barzan,

during the Obama era, on how he sees the Biden campaign. It's faltering.

And what needs to happen to get Joe Biden across the line if he's to beat Donald Trump in 2024

and the consequences if he doesn't?

Democrats are used to having people they don't agree with in office who still love the country

and respect the institutions and believe in democracy and we have spirited disagreements.

I can live with that.

But it is terrifying to contemplate someone who really wants to burn down the house.

How decisive, how important is the 2024 election for the future of the United States of America?

Huge. Huge. And the trap we fall into, I mean, I've done it. I mean, I said that in 2004

when I worked on John Kerry's ultimately unsuccessful presidential campaign. That's my first

foray into this. And every time you say it, but my goodness, looking back, I mean, way more consequential.

That's Newsagents USA on Global Player.
