The Atlantic Current

Tull and Vince discuss one of the world's most fascinating and influential people. He reasonably can be seen as a threat to the liberal world order. Yet he is also a staggerly brilliant executive, albiet one with an apparent Twitter addiction and questionable taste in sources. A fascinating discussion, one which touches on the fraught nature of US-Europe relations at the moment.

Tull and Vince discuss America's continuing interest in (or aggression toward) Greenland. Tull questions American exceptionalism; Vince somehow compares Joe Rogan to Walter Cronkite; and the rising price of Guinness is bemoaned at a time when even EU bigwigs are suggesting a stiff drink.

Tull and Vince discuss the differences between healthcare in the US and Europe, and try desperately to explain and understand the stunning complexity of the American system.

Vince talks about the feeling in America after the capture of Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro. Tull highlights European sentiment toward the audacity of that mission, and US saber rattling toward Greenland. Is the transatlantic relationship heading for a messy, potentially final end?

Five years on, Tull and Vince look back on the chaos of January 6, 2021, one of the most pivotal days in modern American politics. What actually happened that day? How is it viewed in Europe? And how do Trump and the Republican manage to retake the White House in less than four years?
