Last Chance For Harris & Trump - Taster PodOct 25, 2024 · 9 minUnprecedented is a word that gets thrown around too much in relation to this election but when the military suddenly start getting involved in flagging one of the candidates as a fascist, that fits the bill.

Today it seems meaningless to Republicans who don’t mind supporting a self confessed fan of Hitler. Marion McKeone examines the latest developments form the campaign trail including Tucker Carlson’s spanking fantasy, Elon Musk’s election interference, threats against Jack Smith and the political scientist Matt McWilliams who predicted America’s gravitational pull towards an authoritarian leader back in 2015.PlayPlay Last Chance For Harris & Trump - Taster Pod

We look back on a week of tough questions, town halls and challenging moments for both candidates. Rumours have swirled about Donald Trumps sudden mental decline this week.

Are the polls reliable or are they being conservative in their estimates? Marion takes out her crystal ball to answer the question, ”What will he do if he loses?” Obviously, this time, he does not need to be shown from the building but will riots break out in swing states.
