Trump’s Foreign Policy Is An Anti-American Disaster

Threats are easy. Supply chains, deterrence math, and real endgames are not. We dive into the rising talk of U.S. strikes on Venezuela and why public saber-rattling can lock leaders into dangerous escalations they can’t control. From leaked authorizations to carrier movements in the Caribbean, we lay out the likely playbook, the unintended consequences for regional stabil...

Power doesn’t just show up in elections; it builds laboratories. We dive into how New York City became a proving ground for a fusion of finance, philanthropy, and policing that later spread across the country—then map how that same logic now shapes narratives around Israel, Gaza, and the American right. Our guest, investigative journalist Matt Wolfson, brings rare insider perspective on Zionist networks in media and politics,...

A new round of nuclear swagger, a fraying arms control regime, and a grinding war in Ukraine have pushed global risk back into everyday conversation. We bring James Carden of The Realist Review back to map how we got here—starting with the choices made in 1992, when Washington bet on an inevitable democratic future and ignored repeated warnings from Moscow. That post–Cold War confidence collided with NATO expansion, economic ...

Headlines boast of ceasefires and peace plans, but the facts on the ground tell a messier story. We sat down with Daniel McAdams, executive director of the Ron Paul Institute, to map the pressure points driving today’s foreign policy—from a brittle Gaza truce to a confused Ukraine strategy and the quiet escalation in Latin America. It’s a tour through the narratives that sell well on TV and the incentives that actually shape ...

What happens when the language of “protecting the homeland” is used to sell a new regime change next door? We sit down with Kelley Vlahos to map the quiet return of neoconservative logic through a Venezuela push that’s packaged for a nationalist audience. The pitch is simple and potent: cartels, chaos, and a dictator at our doorstep. The implications are anything but simple. From asymmetric risks and migration shocks to the l...

A boat explodes on a distant horizon and we’re told it was necessary. Necessary for whom, and by what law? We dig into the mounting drone strikes on alleged drug boats, the leap from criminal enforcement to wartime force, and the quiet way the 2001 AUMF keeps getting stretched from Afghanistan to the Caribbean and Pacific. With Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski, we interrogate the legal, strategic, and human costs of turning cartels...

Headlines promise game-changers. Reality on the ground tells a harsher story. We open with the Tomahawk mystique and ask the question that matters: does sending a slow, interceptable, U.S.-planned long-range missile into a fully wired Russian air-defense network meaningfully alter the war? Colonel Douglas Macgregor argues no—and explains why the greater danger isn’t the warhead, it’s the escalatory chain that ties American pl...

A strike on negotiators in Qatar, a furious call from Washington, and a ceasefire that almost collapsed over a bulldozer—this conversation with Scott Horton pulls together the moments that actually move policy, not just timelines. We dig into how an alleged Israeli attempt to hit Hamas leadership on Qatari soil may have crossed a rare American red line: don’t endanger the mediators who hold the regional order together. That single ...

A ceasefire can fail quietly. We open on Gaza, where the most sensitive piece of the truce isn’t a line on a map but the painstaking recovery of hostage remains under mountains of rubble. Dave DeCamp walks us through what the signed deal actually requires, why immediate repatriation was never feasible, and how aid bottlenecks violate the letter of the agreement. We examine the political pressure inside Israel—from families wh...

A ceasefire headline sounds simple: hostages freed, troops pull back, peace on the horizon. We pull the thread and find the knots beneath—enforcement that never quite arrives, side assurances that pre-authorize escalation, and a phase-based plan that moves leverage one way the instant captives are released. We walk through the January precedent, the reported U.S. guarantee to back Israel if Hamas is deemed non-compliant, and ...

How did we end up with "forever enemies" and is there another way? Senior editor at The American Conservative, Andrew Day, joins Kyle Angelo to challenge our most fundamental assumptions about American foreign policy.

The conversation begins with a deep dive into Trump's recent statements about Ukraine, where he surprisingly called Russia a "paper tiger" and suggested Ukraine could win the ...

The war machine never sleeps, and neither does the propaganda that fuels it. Dave DeCamp from Antiwar.com joins us to expose how the Pentagon is considering using Charlie Kirk's assassination as a military recruitment opportunity through Turning Point USA college chapters across the country. We examine Secretary Pete Hegseth's disturbing video featuring the Lord's Prayer over images of military weaponry—a fusion o...

American tech giants are building a surveillance apparatus that threatens our basic freedoms, all while pledging allegiance to foreign interests. Harrison Berger, a brilliant researcher and writer whose work appears in The American Conservative and Responsible Statecraft, pulls back the curtain on how companies like Palantir and Oracle have become extensions of intelligence agencies with troubling loyalty to Israel.

Palantir isn...

The global order is shifting fast — and Colonel Douglas Macgregor breaks down what it means for America and the world on The Kyle Anzalone Show.

With trademark candor, Macgregor explains how economic power is moving east toward China and India while the U.S. doubles down on military spending instead of fixing its own infrastructure and competitiveness. Despite a trillion-dollar defense budget, America’s forces are increasingly vulne...
