  • Peter Zeihan is a bad guest

    He sounds intelligent, but as soon as you know about the topic he’s discussing, you realize he makes wild conclusions. For example, his understanding of NATO “Supreme Commander” is just incorrect.

  • Your guest regarding economy, etc…

    He gave far too many hints to his political views. Though he attempted to appear objective and apolitical.
