This is The Guardian.

Thank you. click to listen and follow on Spotify. The threat that I worry the most about vis-a-vis Europe is not Russia, it's not China,

it's not any other external actor.

And what I worry about is the threat from within.

The retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values, values shared with the United States of America. Vice presidents are not

meant to be like this. Lecturing allies, picking fights with world leaders.

And do you think that it's respectful to come to the Oval Office of the United States of America

and attack the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country?

A lot of questions.

In an administration where a lot of things are unusual.

This is the chainsaw for bureaucracy. Turn saw!

The role being played by J.D. Vance is pretty out there.

And according to one Republican insider turned Trump critic, to make sense of it, you need to understand.

What's motivating Vance isn't the job that he has?

It's the job that he wants.

From The Guardian, I'm Michael Safi.
