In this lively instalment of Perigo's Perspective, Lindsay Perigo chats with Paul Brennan about everything from presidential health checks to awe-inspiring classical music. He opens with musings on Donald Trump's recent physical and cognitive test triumphs, comparing them to President Biden’s visible frailty and political evasiveness. The conversation segues into an electrifying tribute to pianist Daniil Trifonov’s performance of Rachmaninoff’s Third Concerto, which left Perigo spellbound. He then descends into the chaos of contemporary politics, lamenting woke virtue signalling, the erosion of genuine conversation, and what he sees as a parade of performative, ill-informed politicians. With trademark flair and scathing wit, Perigo issues rhetorical “WTFs” throughout, balancing biting commentary with impassioned praise for rare brilliance—whether musical or moral.
