4.5 out of 5 stars from 79 ratings
  • Passion of youth, Wisdom of age

    Great podcast talking about difficult geopolitical events, it shows humanity from two very different perspectives; reminds me of my conversations with parents and grand parents, the burning passion and frustration of youth being tempered by wisdom that only comes with age.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tucker & Huckabee | The Samson Option | Trump vs Supreme Court
Q: Do you believe Israeli power is really growing or is it just reckless behavior?
It's both. Israel has indeed taken more territory and removed threats like Assad, contributing to its power, but it's also perceived as becoming a pariah internationally.
Tucker & Huckabee | The Samson Option | Trump vs Supreme Court
Q: What do you think about the implications of the Samson Option?
It's terrifying that a country can have undefined borders and continually expand while ignoring international law. This ongoing situation in Israel is creating a dire atmosphere that could lead to catastrophic consequences.
War in 2 Weeks | US Fleet in Danger | The Epstein Leverage
Q: How do you think the public will react if something bad happens in this potential war?
There's a possibility that instead of rallying around the flag, the public might be more skeptical and introspective given the experiences from the War on Terror.
War in 2 Weeks | US Fleet in Danger | The Epstein Leverage
Q: What are the potential consequences of a war with Iran?
The consequences would include significant economic impact globally, especially regarding oil prices, and a potential loss of US prestige if military assets are destroyed.
Iran Regime Change Op | Trump Invading Greenland | Can We Avoid WW3?
Q: What do you think the chances are for a war with Iran?
I would say at least a limited air operation has at least a 50% chance given the current tensions.
