Will Ron DeSantis save America from itself? | The Mallen Baker Show
The US mid-term elections deliver a surprising result that arguably makes US civil war just a bit less likely. Ukraine takes back control of Kherson city as senior figures in the US administration urge them to negotiate with Putin. Social media giants Twitter and Meta are in meltdown as the online landscape seems vulnerable to change. And in this week’s short thought, why the blame game at COP27 and everywhere else is so unproductive.
The Mallen Baker Show covers news, current affairs, science and politics. It aims to be independent, fact-focused and non-ideological. A rational and reasoned approach to some of the difficult issues of our time, including climate change, the Covid pandemic, and how we can best survive and thrive in the modern world.

In this round-up of the week, the second wave of infections is notable by its absence, the WHO comes under attack, furious debates break out over how quickly to get back to normal and we see disturbing signs of the silencing of voices critical of then virus lockdown.
The Mallen Baker Show is aimed at all people who see themselves as change makers, with commentary on issues and change movements with a particular focus on climate change and environment, social issues, free speech and corporate social responsibility.

In this news round-up of the week for 12th April 2024, the European Court of Human Rights told Switzerland it had to do more about climate change - which is either a triumph for common sense or a massive judicial over-reach, depending on who you ask. Arizona's ancient abortion law potentially throws a massive wildcard into the presidential election in one of the most influential potential swing states. And one of the US mainstream media pillars, NPR, is thrown into turmoil when a senior whistleblower highlights just how far the organisation has drifted off mission.

Extinction rebellion attempt to make their presence felt in London again. We give a summary of some of the moments that have caught wider attention.
How effectively is their campaign strategy working in terms of achieving their goals? And which of the brutal kickings they received at the hands of the likes of Piers Morgan and Andrew Neil did they deserve, and which were just bullying?

Over time, how we understand an ongoing issue, and aim to act on it, will evolve and change. We've been in the same phase on climate change for several decades - but right now it seems as though we may be entering the transition to the next phase. In this video, we look at why that may be, but why it will reach America later than many other places.
