Homosexuality: The Underside of Conversion Therapies | Full Documentary
Nov 18, 2023 | Accepting one’s homosexuality for an American today ought to be simple? And yet, it is not so straightforward! 700,000 young people in the United States have already undergone so-called conversion therapies, intended to "cure" their homosexuality.
Run by religious or pseudo-scientific communities, these therapies promise to fix a supposedly "deviant sexual orientation" and to change a person’s inner identity.
Through social, familial, and religious pressure, Mathew, Jordan, and Lucas all signed up for these therapies and went through hell: Isolation, sequestration, humiliation, food deprivation, physical and psychological violence.
Today, a political combat is underway to halt these therapies and to acknowledge the victims. This is likely to be a long process, given that such practices are still allowed in 41 states and have the backing of the Trump administration.

Does Trump Compare to Hitler? Mehdi Asks This Fascism Expert
July 24, 2026 | “The much more dangerous part of fascism is the fascists in suits.” Lawyer and author Omer Aziz joins Mehdi Hasan to discuss the resurgence of fascism in the United States and a playbook to fight back against it.
Plus, the history of Nazism in the U.S., and the time Donald Trump’s father attended a KKK rally.
Aziz, who most recently served as speechwriter to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, has a new book about it all: Shadows of the Republic: The Rebirth of Fascism in America and How to Defeat It for Good.
Watch the full video to hear Aziz discuss whether he agrees with comparisons between Trump and Hitler, Elon Musk’s role in the global fascist project, and his former boss calling Trump’s war in Iran “worth it.”

Quit the play with words! Let's get down to brass tacks... Trump is a fascist. Just because he smiles and shows his false teeth, wears instant tan, and dyes his hair blond with peroxide, thus softening his appearance, it doesn't make him any less of a fascist! Those ICE agents are directly comparable with the heinous Gestapo in Nazi Deutschland and/or the Schutzstaffel and Sturmabteilung. Odious, nasty, brutal, cruel people all! — © Mark Alexander

Are US Politicians Too Old? | Global News Podcast
July 14, 2026 | The death of the longtime Repblican senator Lindsey Graham at the age of 71, and the hospitalisation of his 84-year-old colleague Mitch McConnell, have raised new questions about the advanced age of America's political leaders.
President Donald Trump celebrated his 80th birthday last month - becoming just the second octogenarian president after Joe Biden. Several lawmakers are even older, including 84-year-old Bernie Sanders, 86-year-old Nancy Pelosi, and 92-year-old Chuck Grassley.
And while the likes of Vice-President JD Vance and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth are still in their 40s, the age in the Senate is around 65 - a time of life when most Americans have retired.
We ask the BBC's Washington correspondent Daniel Bush about the benefits and drawbacks of an elder political class, why voters choose old age pensioners to represent them, and who may lead the US into the future, as some of its most powerful politicians near the ends of their careers.
Are American politicians too old? What a silly question! Of course they are too old! Most of them are geriatrics! In fact, America is a gerontocracy! An oligarchic, corrupt, gerontocracy! The super-corrupt Geriatric-in-Chief is the Orange Mussolini! Not only is he old and corrupt, he suffers from brain-rot too! — © Mark Alexander

Why Trump’s America Is Failing Globally | Steve Schmidt
Under Trump, America is a disaster! All empires eventually die. America’s empire is now in the process of dying. This is what happens when you elect into the highest office in the land a person who is totally and utterly unfit for that position — a corrupt jester! — © Mark Alexander

Paul Lance: Americans Love Money More Than Their Fellow Americans!
May 25, 2026 | Americans love to say “God Bless America” while worshipping money like it’s the real national religion. The last election exposed something ugly about this country: millions of people will tolerate cruelty, racism, concentration camps, families losing healthcare, farms collapsing, and endless suffering — as long as their taxes stay low and their stock portfolio looks okay.
We watched people get racially profiled. We watched immigrants dehumanized. We watched bombs hit schools in Iran. We watched Americans lose healthcare while corporations made record profits. And most people shrugged because sacrifice might hurt their personal comfort.
This country constantly talks about “freedom” and “Christian values,” but where is the humanity? Where is the empathy? Americans say “In God We Trust,” but the truth is it’s “In Money We Trust.” Profit has become more sacred than human life.
Both political parties helped create this culture of greed and individualism, but MAGA took it to another level by turning selfishness into patriotism. “Are YOU better off?” became more important than “Are WE better off?” That mindset is rotting this country from the inside out.
Until Americans care more about human beings than money, this country will keep collapsing morally, spiritually, and economically.
I beg your forgiveness, but it must be said: In this day and age, America is the source of all evil. It seems that almost all bad ideas originate there.
Ich bitte Euch um Verzeihung, aber es muss gesagt werden: In der heutigen Zeit ist Amerika ist die Quelle allen Übels. Scheinbar kommen fast alle schlechten Ideen von dort.
Je vous prie de m'excuser, mais il faut le dire : de nos jours, l'Amérique est la source de tous les maux. Il semble que la quasi-totalité des mauvaises idées y prennent naissance. — © Mark Alexander

American Greatness Is a Lie We’ve Been Told Since Birth - Nationalist Propaganda!
May 15, 2026 | My trip to Europe made something painfully clear: America is not the “greatest country on Earth.”
That phrase is not patriotism — it’s nationalism. It’s a lie we are taught through flags, bald eagles, patriotic songs, military worship, gun culture, and the constant demand that we treat America like it is above criticism.
But loving your country does not mean worshipping it. Patriotism means wanting your country to be better. Nationalism means pretending it already is. When you look at what America actually leads the world in, the truth is ugly: gun violence, mass incarceration, military spending, and white supremacy.
Meanwhile, many European countries have universal healthcare, minimal gun violence, affordable or free college, stronger worker protections, and a better quality of life.
America has convinced people that freedom means struggling to afford healthcare, working yourself to death, fearing gun violence, and calling it liberty.
We traded quality of life for capitalism — and then called it greatness.
This video is not anti-American. It is anti-lie. If we actually love this country, we need to stop worshipping symbols and start fighting for the people.

America Is in Rupture under Trump | Anne Applebaum & Preet Bharara
Feb 5, 2026 | What do the ICE operations in Minneapolis reveal about a broader shift in the exercise of state power? Pulitzer Prize–winning historian, The Atlantic staff writer, and "Autocracy in America" podcast host Anne Applebaum joins Preet Bharara on Stay Tuned with Preet to discuss why Minneapolis has galvanized people in a way few events have in the Trump era, and why our closest allies now say the word for this moment is “rupture.”
The conversation begins with a discussion about the Trump administration's complete disregard for the rule of law and its implications for America. Next, they discuss the ICE crackdown in Minnesota and the administration's lies after the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The conversation also turns to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s recent speech at Davos, where he warned that the world was witnessing not a transition but a “rupture”—and Applebaum shares why she agrees with that view and what "rupture" really means.

Why America Is 'In Deep Trouble' - Ex US Foreign Policy Adviser
Jan 30, 2026 | But Robert Kagan, who has advised successive administrations in the White House on foreign policy, says “middle powers” like European states and the UK must make “hard choices” in order to “survive as independent sovereign states in a world dominated by predatory empires”.
Nathalie Tocci, Professor of Practice at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, Europe, and a senior fellow at Bocconi University’s Institute for European Policymaking, says Trump’s threats over Greenland and the way he “backed down” int he face of Europe’s threats should be a “watershed moment”.

Are America and Europe Finally Divorcing?
Jan 24, 2026 | In a week that's marked an inflection point in European history and transatlantic relations, Tom and Patrick discuss whether the two continents' world views are, finally, irreconcilable. And, were America to walk away from NATO, what are the military gaps that Europe would rapidly have to fill? Could it do so, and how fast?

Europe’s Trust in America Is Fundamentally Damaged | Mark Urban
Jan 22, 2026 | “The Belgian prime minister… was saying ‘we don’t want to live like slaves.’”
The deeper realisation following the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos and Donald Trump’s Greenland manoeuvring is that the US President marks a turning point in Europe’s ability to trust America, says Sunday Times columnist Mark Urban.
Americans are no longer our friends. Period. A friend who cannot be trusted is real no friend at all! — © Mark Alexander
