Today's episode features a Lamestream first: an interview with popular UK economist and YouTube Gary Stevenson. Stevenson's channel, Gary's Economics, has more than 1.4 million subscribers, and he joins Lamestream to discuss the rise of the far-right, in Australian and in the UK, the role economics plays in driving extremism, and the housing crisis.
Also in today's episode, Os and Scott discuss Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's trip to New York to formally recognise Palestine, and how the symbolic decision, coupled with mild criticism of Israel, fell well short of what other world leaders have said about the genocide in Gaza. They also discuss Israel's latest attempts to interfere in Australia's politics and whether it matters if the PM lands a meeting with Donald Trump.
Then, Os breaks down the background to the landmark deal struck between the US and China to hand over TikTok to a consortium of right-wing, pro-Israel billionaires with close ties to Donald Trump, and what it means for the future of the app.
