  • It is like a super-hero movie.

    The show guests are some of the most interesting folks around analyzing current affairs. The host’s admitted and at times shocking ignorance, allow clarity into the guest’s opinions; get a library card dude.

  • Investigative and entertaining

    Disregard the 1 star reviews: they are filled with laughable inaccuracies, and give off a strong aroma of malicious jealousy. The guests on this podcast are highly interesting, even if you are not familiar with them or their field of expertise. Mike Farris does a great job conducting, doesn’t interrupt, and comes across as a genuinely nice person. This podcast has become one of my faves. Don’t hesitate to tune in, you will be rewarded with great info and provocative thinking.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Lt. Col Karen Kwiatkowski #1380
Q: What are your expectations for the China summit and its potential impact on Iran and the Middle East?
The guest expresses cautious optimism about diplomacy, hoping China can leverage influence to achieve concrete outcomes, particularly regarding Iran, while recognizing that real progress depends on strategic alignment and restraint from aggressive actions.
Col. Lawrence Wilkerson #1378
Q: Do you think they care about the midterms, or is there a deeper calculus at play in foreign policy decisions?
He suggests that while political considerations like the midterms matter, the driving forces are behind-the-scenes actors and strategic interests—especially those tied to big tech and wealthy financiers—who influence foreign and domestic policy beyond electoral cycles.
Col. Lawrence Wilkerson #1378
Q: What concerns you?
Wilkerson articulates concerns about surveillance, government overreach, and the entanglement of power between the state and private industry, particularly how sources and contacts in government intersect with media narratives and policy decisions.
Karl Denninger aka The Ticker Guy #1368
Q: What do you say to people that say the stock market keeps going up, maybe the market doesn't think it's a big deal?
The market is wrong; prices are what pay, but confidence matters. Eventually, if people lose faith in the idea that this isn't a big deal, prices will have to adjust—noting that some large, established firms recently saw sharp, out-of-line moves that contradict the underlying fundamentals.
Larry Johnson #1370
Q: How do you view the feasibility of a military intervention in Iran given current capabilities?
Johnson asserts that without a credible ground forces commander, air and naval operations alone are unlikely to achieve decisive outcomes and could be unsustainable due to logistics, ammunition shortages, and Iranian countermeasures.
