What sparked the MAGA civil war when Tucker Carlson platformed Nick Fuentes? Tara Palmeri sits down with Richard Hanania, a former white nationalist turned MAGA skeptic and author at richardhanania.substack.com, to dissect the GOP's internal fracture over white nationalism's rise. From Trump's 2015 elevator speech to dinner with Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago, Hanania traces how anti-immigration dog whistles invited extremists preaching America for "heritage" whites only, reshaping influencers like Charlie Kirk and policy on H-1B visas. They explore plausible deniability's collapse, JD Vance's family vulnerabilities in 2028 primaries, tech elites' online radicalization, and whether ethno-populism now defines the party post-Trump—plus parallels to Europe's immigration backlash and the left's brewing moderation. How deep has white nationalism infiltrated the Republican Party, and who wins the post-Trump fight?

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
