Kuvaus

As another historic heatwave envelopes Europe, the question must again be asked: why do Europeans hate air conditioning? Is it tradition? Are they Luddites? Listen as Charles and Shirin discuss the real-world impact of climate change and wonder aloud about the health repercussions of nudist riverbanks in Europe. This episode also includes coverage of a Europe-wide anti-racist rally against the "Fortress Europe" Common European Asylum System and looks at European reactions to the wonder of American suburbia during World Cup 2026.

Trump's Ballroom and 'Hatred for American Democracy'

Edward Lengel, former chief historian for the White House Historical Association, speaks with Critical Support's Charles R. Davis and Shirin Sadeghi about Donald Trump's ballroom and why it's not just a story about corruption. As Lengel explains, America's "founding fathers" did not want to mimic the pomp and excess of European monarchs. The White House was meant to be a modest residence, not a palace, signaling that no one person was above another. The White House was also built by enslaved people. Why should we care if its desecrated? Because it's a symbol of democracy, Lengel argues, however flawed — and it's now being transformed into a playground for a king.

Special Edition: Live from Anne Frank House in Amsterdam: Who Counts as Native?

A Critical Support Special from Shirin Sadeghi, live from Amsterdam's Prinsengracht Street where Anne Frank and her family and friends tried to save themselves from the Nazi occupation of Holland. It was a time, not that long ago, when all people residing in Nazi controlled nations were categorized as either "native" or "Jewish". And your label signified, literally, life or death. As political parties based on or propelled by hate movements spread throughout Europe and its former colonies, including the United States, what the Nazi governments systematically applied to the Jews of Europe begs the question of whether we are on the brink of another era of elimination for those who are labelled "non-native". Listen for a report on Nazi commissioner of Holland Arthur Seyss Inquart's real background and the chilling facts of the Nazi extermination of the Jews of the Netherlands.
