From this side of the Atlantic it’s hard to understand some of the policies and statements of Trump’s 2nd administration.

We’re delighted to welcome Jamie Miller to the show.

Jamie’s political pedigree as a former exec director of Republican Party Florida, campaign manager, director of field operations & author of “American Speeches That Changed The World” makes him supremely qualified to help us Brits make sense of it all.

Jamie runs the Reasonable Arguments podcast with his wife Jennifer. https://reasonablearguments.com
