Welcome to This Is Not A Drill – the new name for Doomsday
Watch, with new host Gavin Esler. In our first episode: It’s one
year to the US Presidential election. If Donald Trump is the victor
he will be unbound by any fear of legal or democratic restraint.
What will Trump do to get there? And what will he do if he wins?
Gavin Esler talks to Bill Kristol, editor-at-large of conservative
magazine The Bulwark, who has broken with the Republicans in
revulsion at the party’s surrender to the MAGA ideal; and historian
Sarah Churchwell, author of Behold America: The Entangled History
of “America First” and “The American Dream”, to understand the
United States’ fateful choice. Support This Is Not A Drill on

worst thing is that Trump is succeeding because of the demagoguery,
the incitement, the violence and the contempt for the rule of law
– not in spite of it.” – Bill Kristol • “Trump
is of a kind that we’ve seen before, but of a degree that we’ve
never seen before. And he’s achieved power that we’ve never seen
before.” – Sarah Churchwell Written and presented by Gavin
