Podcasts about coming global disorder

We don't think it's an exaggeration to say that we're standing at the precipice of what could be a third world war. At the very least, the thing that we refer to as the “Free World” is burning at its outer edges. Just a few weeks ago, Iran launched its largest-ever ballistic missile attack against Israel, while its proxies, Hezbollah and Hamas, continue to wage war against Israel, making use of the steady flow of weaponry and funding from Iran—which is ever closer to having nuclear weapons. The war in Ukraine continues to rage, with both sides engaged in intense fighting across multiple fronts. After over a year and a half of relentless Russian bombardment, Ukraine is barely holding the line as the grinding war of attrition drags on. According to The Wall Street Journal, more than one million people on both sides of the border have been killed or injured. And then there's China, which has lately been attacking Philippine and Vietnamese vessels in the South China Sea, terrorizing international waters with impunity as the world watches anxiously. Moscow, Beijing, and Tehran have solidified a new axis of autocracy, united in its goal to unravel the Pax Americana and undermine American dominance. The question on our minds tonight is: What should America do about it? Many Americans are saying they don't want the United States to continue leading the world order. A 2023 Chicago Council on Global Affairs survey revealed that 42 percent of Americans think that the U.S. should stay out of world affairs, which is the highest number recorded since 1974. It is easy to talk about foreign policy as an abstract idea because war, for us, is thousands of miles away. But foreign policy is a matter of life and death. Not just for people around the world, but for the more than two million Americans that serve in our armed forces. It's conventional wisdom that American voters don't prioritize foreign policy. But this year, given the state of the world, that might be different. Which is why we hosted a debate, live in NYC, on this very topic.  Arguing that, yes, the U.S. should still police the world is Bret Stephens. Stephens is an opinion columnist for The New York Times and editor in chief of Sapir. As a foreign affairs columnist of The Wall Street Journal, he was awarded the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for commentary. And he is the author of America in Retreat: The New Isolationism and the Coming Global Disorder. Bret was joined by James Kirchick, contributing opinion writer for The New York Times, writer at large for Air Mail, and contributing writer for Tablet. He is the author of The End of Europe: Dictators, Demagogues, and the Coming Dark Age. He is also a senior fellow at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. Arguing that no, the U.S. should not still police the world is none other than Matt Taibbi. Taibbi is a journalist, the founder of Racket News, and the author of 10 books, including four New York Times bestsellers. Matt was joined by Lee Fang. Lee is an independent investigative journalist, primarily writing on Substack at LeeFang.com. From 2015 to 2023, he was a reporter for The Intercept.

They discuss the war in Gaza, Israel's apparent lack of a strategy, the ICC decision to seek warrants for PM Netanyahu and Defense Minister Gallant for war crimes, the anti-Israel bias of the UN system, the spread of anti-semitism on campus and beyond, the return of isolationism of both the left and the right, the prospects for this fall's election and the political failures of the Biden Administration, and the prospects for American resilience in the face of all this darkness.

Two years ago, on February 24, 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. The costs of this war have been unbelievably high. Half a million Ukrainian and Russian soldiers have been either killed or wounded. In terms of cost, the U.S. alone has spent $113 billion on the war. And an aid package that includes another $60 billion for Ukraine is stuck in Congress. Americans' changing sentiment about the war has certainly contributed to that package being in limbo. Two years ago, there was broad support for the war: 66 percent of Americans thought we needed to help Ukraine. But that view is no longer the consensus. Several polls have indicated that the majority of Americans oppose additional funding to support Ukraine. Meanwhile, the eastern Ukrainian city of Avdiivka fell to Russian forces last weekend. The Biden administration says it's a direct consequence of congressional inaction. Today on Honestly, a debate: Where is all of America's aid to Ukraine going? Is Ukraine really such a clear-cut cause? Even if you believe that it is, what has all of this sacrifice gotten Ukraine—and the U.S.? Can Ukraine even win this war? What's the endgame? And is victory in Ukraine really as important to America as many politicians claim that it is? Bret Stephens is a Pulitzer Prize-winning opinion columnist for The New York Times. His book, America in Retreat: The New Isolationism and the Coming Global Disorder, foresaw much of today's world. Bret worries that the world is on the precipice of World War III. Isolationism, he argues, only contributes to global instability. Elbridge Colby is co-founder of The Marathon Initiative think tank. He served as deputy assistant secretary of defense for strategy and force development under President Trump, and he is the author of The Strategy of Denial: American Defense in an Age of Great Power Conflict. Colby believes the United States must make difficult defense choices in an era of great power competition. Ukraine, he argues, is not the top priority. Learn more about your ad choices.

Bret Stephens came by the Messy Times studios for a wide-ranging yet unified theoretical conversation. Wide-ranging because we cover a range of topics from current themes in American censorship, the restriction of "accepted" thought in the public square, January 6th: The Musical! and the enduring uniqueness of the American Project. Unified theoretically because despite holding some opinions in common and some at odds, the proper way to cope in a free society is not to censor speech or refuse to engage but to debate actively. Free societies thrive when gadflies buzz around the edges of the public square, relatively unmolested. It is why Messy Times stands for absolutely free speech and why every major social advancement in free nations has originated from unexpected and often very annoying (initially) voices questioning the status quo. Aside from being a fellow alumnus of the University of Chicago, Bret is a Pulitzer Prize winner, was the Editor-in-Chief of the Jerusalem Post before spending more than a decade as an Opinion Columnist for the Wall Street Journal and since 2017 has been the lone conservative voice at the New York Times. He is the author of America in Retreat; the New Isolationism and the Coming Global Disorder (2014), is the Editor-in-Chief of SAPIR, and is working on a new book you can get a tantalizing glimpse of during our discussion.

Anti-semitism was tragically back in the news in recent days with the hostage-taking at the Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville, Texas. But was this event covered the way it should have been? Barely. And this tells us a lot about anti-Semitism during these times. Is this period different? Have we entered a ‘new normal' for anti-Semitism? Is it just the extremes or are there now more enablers? Bret Stephens, Pulitzer Prize winning columnist for The New York Times, joins us. Bret came to The Times after a long career with The Wall Street Journal, where he was most recently deputy editorial page editor and, for 11 years, a foreign affairs columnist. Before that, he was editor in chief of The Jerusalem Post. Bret has reported from around the world and interviewed scores of world leaders. He is also the author of "America in Retreat: The New Isolationism and the Coming Global Disorder.” Bret was raised in Mexico City, earned his BA at the University of Chicago and his Masters at the London School of Economics.

He puts a timeline on it. The book isn’t about “some hazy distant future after we’re all dead and gone, but the future we will all be living in for the next fifteen years of our lives.” Zeihan’s subtitle hints at his big and bold thesis, which predicts “the dissolution of the free trade order, the global demographic inversion, the collapse of Europe and China,” which “is all just a fleeting transition” to a world largely abandoned by America. People have fun making predictions like this (and mocking those who get things spectacularly wrong).

The Wealth Exchange podcast is joined by David Frum today. David is the Senior Editor of The Atlantic and has previously held many titles, including Speech Writer for George W. Bush. An avid political commentator and author, David has recently published his New York Times Best Selling book, Trumpocracy.   Today, David will be interviewed by John Nicola, CEO of Nicola Wealth Management. They discuss the current political landscape in the U.S., such as the recent mail bombings and synagogue shooting, and all things Trumpocracy. David also gives his predictions of the U.S. through Trump's Presidency, his take on the U.S. MCA, and his views on the trade war with China. Key Takeaways: [:29] About today's topic and guest. [:53] Did David Frum expect his quote from Trumpocracy to come true? ("The thing to fear from the Trump presidency is not the bold overthrow of the Constitution, but the stealthy paralysis of governance; not the open defiance of law, but an accumulating subversion of norms; not the deployment of state power to intimidate dissidents, but the incitement of private violence to radicalize supporters.") [2:56] David breaks down the difference between the recent mail bombing and the tragic synagogue shooting. [4:40] Does David predict that there will be more of these incited violent incidents through Trump's Presidency? [7:04] Does David agree with Peter Zeihan in that the framework the U.S. has created, shaped the environment that made “Trump” possible? [11:24] Is the American agenda changing, or is it the Trump agenda? [13:36] David's view on the trade issues with China. [16:19] As we look forward, does David see any rational thinking entering into the process of the trade war with China or is Trump too dogmatic? [21:04] David's take on the U.S. MCA.   Mentioned in this Episode: Trumpocracy: The Corruption of the American Republic, by David Frum Trump mail bombing incident Synagogue shooting The Accidental Superpower: The Next Generation of American Preeminence and the Coming Global Disorder, by Peter Zeihan The Absent Superpower: The Shale Revolution and a World Without America, by Peter Zeihan   Guest Bios David Frum One of the most influential political analysts of our time, David Frum brings a rational conscience into the mainstream and the often-polarized world of American politics.

Geography and demographic patterns are more important than most people give them credit for. Jason Hartman talks to Peter Zeihan, author of The Accidental Superpower, about what led America and other world powers to become economic and social behemoths. From China's one-child policy, to the strength of the dollar, to the future of oil and 3D printing, everything is important. Key Takeaways [1:37] – Peter Zeihan has held high-ranking positions within Stratfor, an intelligence company used by government and business officials. [4:57] – You have to ask the bigger question: ‘compared to what?' What are you comparing everything to? [5:51] – Jason Hartman details some of the guest interviews we have in upcoming episodes of the Creating Wealth Show. [13:29] – Geography is still a vital factor to a country's progress and development, especially when it comes to transportation. [18:54] – The dollar is the only hard currency in the world that exists in sufficient volume to lubricate the global system. What if the printing press actually was an option? [21:08] – America's commitment to free trade still has a huge impact on today's world economy. [26:48] – All of the various financial crashes are happening for the same reasons and we need to learn from them. [29:41] – China is in such a difficult demographical situation that America's social pressure for near-retirees seems like nothing. [32:08] – Boundaries and ideas are starting to change for retirees, but those staying on in work are still in the minority. [34:05] – The future of American oil production and usage could have totally transformed by this time next year. [36:53] – The impact of 3D printing on supply chains is just staggering, and it's going to continue to shrink the industry.
