Ep. 71: Trump Calls For A United Ireland, Hopefully Before AI Kills Us All

Ep. 71: Trump Calls For A United Ireland, Hopefully Before AI Kills Us All15. Sept.39 Min.

Donald Trump sends the island of Ireland into an uproar as he calls for a unified Ireland. Is it, as some believe, a coordinated effort to take a shot at a Labour government that won’t cooperate enough overseas? Or, as Vince argues, is it another case of Trump substituting his “common sense” for detailed understanding? Tull and Vince have fun with the visit, while Tull details the promise and peril of what a United Ireland might look like.
