On this week’s episode of “The David Frum Show,” The Atlantic’s
David Frum opens with his reaction to President Trump’s shocking
settlement with the IRS and his new $1.8 billion slush fund for
victims of political “weaponization.” Then, David is joined by
Phillips O’Brien, a military historian and a professor of strategic
studies at the University of St. Andrews, for a discussion about
the fallout from the war in Iran, Russia’s stalemate with Ukraine,
and Trump’s recent meeting with President Xi Jinping in China. Frum
and O’Brien discuss Trump’s lack of commitment toward Taiwan and
how he has greatly diminished America’s standing with China.
Finally, David ends the episode with a discussion of “What Science
Says About Astrology,” by Carlos Orsi. Sign up for David
