• Geopolitics and “The 12-Day War”:

Much of hour one focuses on escalating tensions in the Middle East. O’Brien recounts the “12-Day War” from 2025 between Israel and Iran, discussing the failure of the Iron Dome and the use of the “Mother of All Bombs” by the U.S. against Iranian nuclear facilities. He also highlights current military drills involving the U.S., Russia, and China off the coast of Iran.

    • Critique of Globalization and the WEF:

The host plays and analyzes clips regarding the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the “failure of globalization.” He discusses the transition from a U.S.-led world order to a nationalist, multi-polar world where the U.S. dollar is losing its status as the global reserve currency.
