Old men and corrupt tyrants: America's choice for 2024

Old men and corrupt tyrants: America's choice for 2024

After a deeply unedifying week of US politics we look at the choice before America in November.

Is Biden too old to stand for President?

Is Trump too corrupt?

And what happens next if the answer to both those questions is 'yes'?

On today's episode we look at the report by special counsel Robert K. Hur who calls the president a 'well-meaning elderly man' and the kind words of encouragment Trump has for Vladimir Putin.

Will any of the court cases land a decisive blow either way?

And what is going to happen to the conman congressman George Santos's seat in the Long Island special election this week?
