A swirling week of news, allegations and courtroom quarrels over who should be tried where and when.

What hope is there for am informed electorate if they can’t agree on basic facts. Marion McKeone talks to Jarlath Regan about the latest goings on in America from every angle including Donald throws Eric under the bus, Joe Biden stares down the impeachment barrel, Burning Man, a killer on the loose, Wrestlemania and much much more.

If music be the food of absurdity US politics says play on. A Trump AI rap hit, a down home boy’s misunderstood anthem riles up the people that made it a chart topper and Eminem is forced to step in. Marion McKeone of the Sunday Business Post sits down with comedian Jarlath Regan to sift through the latest news from America. This week there is a distinct musical theme. As always there’s even more for our members. A further 30minutes of the now very real prospect of a Biden impeachment investigation.

Whether you like it or not, Donald Trump became the first US President with a mugshot. For supporters this will change nothing other than save them time photoshopping the fake versions they emblazoned on coffee cups, shirts and hats. For his opponents it is sweet vindication. Marion McKeone looks back on this week’s first GOP primary debate. With the troublesome child out of the room, she surveys the highlights and low lights from the night of many contradictions. Later in the show, on Patreon, she examines the Tucker Carlson interview in all its monotonous glory and her own near death experience while meeting the "real" Americans in Florida. Head to Patreon (www.patreon.com/irishmanabroad) to hear the full back catalogue of episodes and interviews from the last 10 years.

The biggest RICO indictment since Harvey Dent versus The Falconi crime family dropped this week and my co-conspirator Marion McKeone is back from the Iowa State Fair to make sense of it. In today's big weekly round up she looks at what is contained in the 98 page indictment. Who are the 18 people indicted alongside the big Orange Fella? What exactly are they accused of? Will they flip for a plea deal and sing like canaries?
 
Mr. RICO himself, Rudi "Just For Men" Giuliani is among the accused but Roger Stone is not. This week a video emerged of Stone hatching the plan to overturn the election before the result had even been announced. Does this mean Stone is co-operating? Does this make this indictment more a slam dunk than the "confidential documents in the jacks" indictment?
 
We get Marion's view of the tragedy in Hawaii. The death toll is set to rise far higher than 111, families are still searching for missing relatives and yet, tourists are still arriving because "we have reservations". Marion explores the tense relationship between locals and tourists. Has Joe Biden dropped teh ball or will the billionaire land owners like Oprah swoop in to help?

Marion McKeone defends the honour of the LA’s drug free shark population after rumours surface of rampant drug use among sea life in Florida. It can only mean one thing, it’s time for another episode of Irishman In America, Ireland’s number one political news podcast with comedian Jarlath Regan. This week Jar and Marion examine curious modesty of Joe Biden and his administration, the cost of living crisis and Donald Trump’s attempt to corrupt the jury pool in Georgia. Why is there no law to stop the slander of Fani Willis? What is behind the actor’s strike? 100 days in and neither side seems willing to budge. There’s even more over on Patreon for our members including why the FBI shot a man in Utah who sent threatening messages to the President and why the wheels are coming off Ron DeSantis’s rickety band wagon. There’s also Marion’s picks of the week and more.

Marion McKeone chats to Jarlath about the latest legal troubles facing Donald Trump. What does this new indictment mean if anything, why is it all happening at once and how long will it take to see any sort of result from these cases. In second half of the show available on our members page (www.patreon.com/irishmanabroad) you can hear Marion take on what will become of Hunter Biden. Is Joe Biden's troublesome son a reason not to vote in the next election or just a nice piece of juicy click bait? Marion also looks at the United States Embassy in Dublin issuing a security alert for American travellers following a horrific attack on a U.S. visitor and the kidnapping of a US nurse and her child in Haiti.
Jarlath is also on tour right now. He will be doing his latest standup show in Liverpool, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Armagh, Galway, Cork, Birmingham, London and Tralee to why not grab a ticket while you can. All the other dates have fully sold out! https://linktr.ee/IrishmanAbroad

Will The Rock be a future candidate for President of The United States? Will Trump be convicted and go to jail over the missing files? And who killed Tupac? On this week’s podcast, Marion tackles America’s most un-answerable questions, from politics to celebrities to celebrities entering politics and back again.
 
Who will be the next celebrity to take American politics by storm? Marion parses out who could be the next Trump. With former comedian Zelensky running the show in war torn Ukraine and America’s history with celebrity presidents, Marion discusses future stars turned global politicians.
 
What does a competent Government mean for public opinion in the States? Marion discusses how a capable Government is equated with dullness as Biden has led a stable term in the Oval Office. In the aftermath of Trump’s disastrous tenure, Marion feels Biden’s stable government is not viewed as it probably deserves.
 
After Trump’s indictment will we see prison time for the former President? Marion gives a couple of the most jaw dropping theories doing the rounds on what could happen if he is convicted, including the possibility of a pardon by the current Democratic president!
 
What issues should Americans be up in arms about? Should Americans seek to abolish the Electoral College and the Senate? Marion breaks down which states are shafted in representation by the current electoral system.
 
Why do American’s have such low sympathy for Biden’s embattled son Hunter?
 
—- Over on Patreon — in the XL edition of the show you can hear:
 
Is there ever a possibility of assault rifles being taken off the streets in America. Marion brings new hope as California’s Governor Gavin Newsom works to pass a new amendment that could alter the iconic second amendment. What do the Democratic Governor’s ideas involve and could they come to fruition?
 
What is the state of abortion law after the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe V Wade? Marion discusses the patchwork quilt of injustice that has taken over the US as women are suffering in restrictive states.  However, even conservative states are fighting back with Kansas holding a referendum on abortion rights that could bring hope in other places in the future.
 
Are American’s worried about AI? More importantly, should they be? Marion and Jarlath chat about AI use in America and what it means for workers across multiple sectors as it has the potential to affect the job security of many, from truck drivers to screen writers. Marion also looks at how it could affect disinformation campaigns in the upcoming election.
 
Finally, they address the all important mystery of who shot Tupac Shakur on the Vegas strip in 1996? Marion presents an interesting theory as Jarlath discusses the idea of reparations for slavery in America.

Marion McKeone of the Sunday Business Post heads to Miami to experience all the madness of Donald Trump’s second indictment. The circus is back in town just when it looked like the show was over. Are there some delinquent children that are so disruptive we are better off removing and ignoring them then pursuing each and every crime and misdemeanour they might be guilty of? Is letting Trump back in the door too high a price for justice?
I am also on tour right now. I’ll be doing my latest standup show in Liverpool, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Armagh, Galway, Cork, Kilkenny, Naas, Birmingham, London and Tralee to why not grab a ticket while you can. All the other dates have fully sold out! https://linktr.ee/IrishmanAbroad

Trump indicted again! This time it's different. Marion McKeone examines the latest charges over the unauthorised retention of classified documents after he left the White House. She also examines Republican hopefuls and looks back on a busy week in US political news. Is there more to Mike Pence? Can Chris Christie show the MAGA brigade that the emperor has no clothes. Is it time for a new more radical Kennedy to dethrone Joe? There's a lot to discuss including  another rough week for Kevin McCarthy and Prince Harry. Hear an extra 40 minutes of this discussion over on patreon.com/irishmanabroad and help the continued creation of our podcast as we head to the 2024 election. We need you!
