Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:01Hello, I'm Michelle Hussain, and for more than 20 years I was at the BBC, presiding over political debates. Welcome to the BBC Prime Ministerial debate. Covering international news. The United States has completed its military withdrawal from Afghanistan 20 years. And reporting on some pretty famous people. Your Royal Highness Meghan Markle, congratulations to you both. Thank you. It was thrilling to be in the front row, to watch history unfold, even if I did have to get up at 3am most mornings. But all the time I was delivering the headlines, I wanted to go further than the news of the day. I wanted to talk about the ideas behind it, to spend more time with the people shaping our world.
0:52And that's what I'm doing here on this podcast from Bloomberg Weekend. I speak with people like Elon Musk. In terms of political spending, I'm going to do a lot less in the future. And why is that? I think I've done enough. Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Recognising a Palestinian state was in your manifesto. Do you want to be the British Prime Minister who delivers that? I'm clear and our manifesto was clear about our position on recognition. Cultural figures like succession creator Jesse Armstrong. You are writing about that world of the super rich again. And there's a... Sorry. Well, I wondered why.
1:29I believe I'm doing it because I'm interested in the power, not the money. And Shonda Rhimes. How did you feel about Bridgerton being described as woke? I didn't know anybody described it as woke. The Telegraph called it pandering to woke casting. That's so cute. This is going to be a place where every weekend you'll hear one essential conversation. But I hope that it's also going to be a place with head, heart and soul. Personal conversational podcasting vibe. You might even enjoy it. So please join me, listen and subscribe to the Mishal Hussain Show from Bloomberg Weekend, wherever you get your podcasts.
2:08New episodes every Friday morning. You certainly ask interesting questions.
