Chas Licciardello and John Barron set out to discover the real America - its politics and its people - with analysis from US and Australian experts.
Is Trump planning to attack Cuba? As tensions escalate, we ask exiled Assembly of the Cuban Resistance leader Orlando Gutierrez Boronat why he is pushing for regime change. Also, the ugly senate race in Texas which could decide the balance of power in November's midterms. Could Republicans lose the Lone Star State?
Will a scandal-plagued political newcomer cost Democrats the Senate? We ask strategist Julie Roginsky whether Graham Platner can save his campaign. Plus a rare Republican revolt sees Trump walk away from his slush fund but claim victory in his long-running feud over tax.
Trump claims victory after a long-awaited peace deal is agreed with Iran. Meanwhile, as Congress advances a US-Israel military integration plan, we ask former national security official Josh Paul why the measure has sparked a backlash.
The Republican backlash intensifies after Trump makes a deal with Iran, then threatens a return to war. Meanwhile JD Vance lashes out at Israel, and Trump blames vandals after his reflecting pool woes take a turn for the worse.
Planet America celebrates our 600th episode. Since 2012, John Barron and Chas Licciardello have unpacked the issues, events, people and politics from the US - in their own inimitable way. (Midseason Final).
