Episode Description from the Publisher

In this week's Q&A episode, the team looks at whether Vice President JD Vance or Secretary of State Marco Rubio is winning the battle for supremacy in the Republican Party - and how each of them might approach the role of Commander in Chief if they succeed Trump and become the next President of the United States.Amber, Mark, and Marc also break down how the state of the UK's finances became so dire that there is no more money for extra defence spending, and look at whether Trump might decide to refocus his efforts on making Canada the "51st State" again any time soon.Plus, in light of the recent killing of Renee Good by an ICE officer in Minneapolis, The Crisis Room discusses whether the Immigration Agency is still serving a purpose - and responds to a listener question which compares ICE to the Nazis.Have a question for a future episode?
