Summary
<p>Tommy and Ben discuss the horrific Bondi Beach terror attack, the rise of antisemitism in Australia, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s bad-faith attempt to connect Australia’s recognition of a Palestinian state to this violence, and the perpetrators potentially training in the Philippines. They also talk about the US seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker and how it fits into President Trump’s creep towards regime change, Chile’s election of the most right-wing President since Pinochet and Trump gleefully taking credit, questions about why US troops are still in Syria after the death of two US soldiers, pro-democracy advocate Jimmy Lai’s conviction in Hong Kong, a proposed policy to check the social media accounts of visitors to the US, the death of Jared Kushner’s corrupt hotel deal in Serbia, and highlights from episode 2 of <i>The Liz Truss Show</i>. Then, Ben speaks to Zanny Minton Beddoes, Editor-in-Chief of <i>The Economist</i>, about global shifts to watch for in 2026.</p><p>For a closed-captioned version of this episode,<a href="https://youtu.be/U4JOMhAeFhM"> click here</a>.
