2025/12/25

Year-end reflections tend to blur optimism and fatigue, and this conversation makes that line painfully clear. The promises attached to a noninterventionist reset—troop withdrawals, constitutional restraint, and a focus on domestic renewal—collide with a year marked by ad hoc tariffs, confused messaging on inflation, and fresh entanglements abroad. The guest frames a core contradiction: if leadership claims to prioritize Americans, why are we still paying for distant conflicts and eroding free

What if the rules of public health were rewritten by advertising money and platform levers rather than open debate?

From the early push for repurposed therapeutics to the media and tech backlash that followed, Malone outlines a system where brands and gatekeepers shaped which evidence could surface, and

2025/12/12

Power doesn’t persuade on its own—people do. Ambassador Chas Freeman joins us for a rare, unflinching look at how the United States drifted from negotiation to coercion, swapped empathy for slogans, and ended up trapped in conflicts with no off-ramps. We dig into the mechanics of real diplomacy, the difference between a ceasefire and a peace, and why ignoring your opponent’s interests is a fast way to get surprised by reality.Freeman traces the lineage from Cold War containment to the unipolar “we

2025/12/01

A senator’s seat opens, the phones are tapped, and a single line—“this is fucking golden”—becomes the headline that swallows the story. We sit down with former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich to unpack the wiretaps, the legal standards around campaign contributions, and the policy trade he says prosecutors stopped at dawn: appoint Lisa Madigan in exchange for expanded healthcare and a statewide capital bill. The details you rarely hear surface here, from who asked for Valerie Jarrett and why, to

Your grocery bill isn’t just a headache—it’s a signal. We sit down with financial analyst and entrepreneur Matt Smith to unpack a hard truth: the U.S. debt load is on a parabolic path, and the most likely political solution is to inflate it away. What does that mean for the dollar, your wages, and the value of your savings? We connect the dots between gold’s surge, stable coins as policy tools, and why confidence—not code—decides whether new instruments buy time or burn trust.From there, we look at

A Marine-turned-diplomat who walked away on principle, Matt Hoh joins us to pull apart two decades of war, myth, and money. He takes us inside the Iraq “surge,” arguing it wasn’t counterinsurgency wizardry but a political settlement that finally addressed Sunni grievances and severed ties with al‑Qaeda. Then he maps the pivot to Afghanistan, showing how institutional pride, careerism, and a flood of funding drove escalation despite mounting evidence that military solutions couldn’t deliver a stable

Europe keeps choosing spectacle over strategy, and the bill is coming due. We sit down with Alex Christoforou of The Duran to unpack how a string of elite decisions—seizing Nexperia, betting on shock-and-awe sanctions, flirting with Tomahawk escalation—has triggered supply chain chaos, legal landmines, and a deeper crisis of public trust. What looks bold on a podium often unravels in the real world: Germany deindustrializes, prices rise, wages stall, and ordinary people are told to accept less while

2025/10/15

Peace rarely arrives with a parade. We invited Robert Scheer—journalist, editor, and stubbornly independent voice for six decades—to help us make sense of the Gaza ceasefire and the forces that could make it stick or snap. He doesn’t sugarcoat the damage: an occupation born in 1967 hardened into a moral cul‑de‑sac, and Netanyahu’s bid to silence Palestinian agency shattered global patience. Yet Scheer sees real constraints: international pressure, a disenchanted Jewish diaspora, and a world economy
