Dec 11, 2025
1h 16m

Episode Description

Viktor Orbán, Hungary
Netherlands, the PVV
Sanae Takaichi, 
Japan and the LDP

Canada is quoting Reagan
UK Labour’s badly shaken
Germany. AFD.
What’s wrong with democracy?

We didn’t start the fire, 
But Katie’s here, she’s going to make it clear
We didn’t start the fire,
But our episode will help you carry the load

Romania - a little win
Proto-fascists back again
U.S. shut down, long delays
But Trump sends money to Milei

We didn’t start the fire. 
But we’ve got Parsons,
And we know it’s arson.

We didn’t start the fire,
But we can talk and learn,
To help control the burn 
The burn the burn the burn [fade out]
