They look at MAGA monster Steve Bannon's threats to establish a political movement in Ireland, and they discuss foreign trips to China and other countries by Taoisigh and presidents.

Also, what Simon Harris's replacement of Paschal Donohoe in Finance really means. The impact of tariffs and the IDA's success in still attracting investment to Ireland. Will the UK ever rejoin the European Union in a reverse Brexit? And John tells tales of a private dinner in Doonbeg with Donald Trump.
