Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet. I'm producer Mia Sorenti. For this episode, we're rejoining for part two of our live event with Anthony Scarabucci. The former White House communications director turned outspoken Trump critic joined Emily Maitless on the Intelligence Squared stage in September for a straight talking conversation. on the fallout from Trump's second presidency.

Now let's rejoin the conversation with Emily Maitlis and Anthony Scaramucci live at Union Chapel in London. Following the murder of Charlie Kirk, Trump has been on a mission to shut down what he calls a radical left terrorist network. And he says that the left is full of people using words like racist or fascist or Nazi, so it's no wonder that people keep getting attacked.

Um, this has become a real conundrum, I guess, for people who think that he is acting in an authoritarian slash fascist way, but don't know how to call that out without then becoming a target for his ire. So that's part of his genius. Yeah. Right? I unfortunately it is.
