    PTP America | Bonus special - Trump's War and Peace
    Jun 25 2025
    In a Path to Power special, Matt is joined by veteran US-based Irish journalist Marion McKeone to discuss Donald Trump's gamble with his MAGA base by attacking Iran, why MAGA doesn't want American wars, and the influence of the Jewish lobby on political and military support for Israel. And, they go beyond politics to analyse the Jeff Bezos wedding in Venice, and talk about the Kennedy's because of the Ryan Murphy TV show about the death of JFK Jr, his wife Carolyn and her sister Lauren.
