Elon and The Donald are no longer besties and the hosts have thoughts. This week, Jonathan and Kanthan unpack the bizarre breakup between two of the world’s most polarising figures and what it says about the state of the MAGA movement. Closer to home, Steenhuisen’s surprise appearance at the Black Business Council raises eyebrows, as the DA finds itself under fresh scrutiny - from potential leadership shake-ups to its deteriorating relationship with freedom of speech.Proudly brought to you by The Overton Press.Subscribe at https://overtonpress.substack.com/If you enjoyed this podcast please like, subscribe and share.Thumbnail by Darren De Lange - https://bit.ly/ddlcreates

Ep25 - Trump vs Ramaphosa
Ramaphosa walks into the White House. What follows? Not quite what the headlines would have you believe. This week, Kanthan and Jonathan go behind the scenes of the South African President’s tense meeting with Donald Trump - a moment packed with geopolitical consequences and media distortion. They also break down Budget 3.0 and ask whether this latest attempt at fiscal rescue is bold reform or just more smoke and mirrors.Proudly brought to you by The Overton Press.Subscribe at https://overtonpress.substack.com/If you enjoyed this podcast please like, subscribe and share.Thumbnail by Darren De Lange - https://bit.ly/ddlcreates

Ep23 - The Trump Economy
On this instalment Kanthan discusses Trump’s plan for the American economy as elucidated by his Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent. Jonathan explores the slow collapse of academic institutions as overwhelming left wing ideology has started to chip away at their reputations.

Ep22 - Treason!
Treason is the word of the month, whether it’s Afrikaners telling on the ANC in the US, or a fractious meeting between Trump and Zelensky - many are incapable of understanding realpolitik. Enter Kanthan and Jonathan who this week discuss the details behind all of these claims, reflect on the acquittal of Peter Beale, and ask who really is running the DA?
