You are listening to a special US election edition of the Briefing, first broadcast on the 15th of October, 2024 on Monocle Radio.
Hello and welcome to a special US election edition of the briefing, broadcasting live from Studio One here at Midori House in London.
I'm Chris Chermack.
Coming up on today's program, we'll get the latest from Washington and the campaign trail before turning to foreign policy for part three of our U.S.
election specials.
Donald Trump sees greater threats at home than abroad.
It's the enemy from within all the scum that we have to deal with that hate our country.
That's a bigger enemy than China and Russia.
And Kamala Harris responds, He's talking about the enemy within our country, Pennsylvania.
He's talk about that he considers anyone who doesn't support him or who will not bend to his will an enemy of our country.
We'll explore how the presidential candidates differ in their approaches to Ukraine, the Middle east and Asia.
And we'll hear what the world wants from the next US President with the one and only Andrew Mueller.
It has nevertheless been the case, at least since the end of World War II, that this is America's world and the rest of us, for better, for worse, are living in it.
All that right here on THE Briefing with me, Chris Termack.
This is the briefing and we'll kick off today's US Election special show with a look at the week that was in Washington.
Joining me for that from the US Capitol is the journalist Simon Marks.
Simon, good afternoon or good morning to you.
Good morning to you, Chris.
We're gonna, I mean, there's always so much that we could talk about, Simon, even within one week in the space of US Politics.
So we'll try and cover a few different areas over the next few minutes or so.
