Sarah Bils of DD Geopolitics #1440
Summary
Sarah Bilss, founder of DD Geopolitics, joins Mike to discuss the looming energy crisis and its parallels to the 2020 pandemic, arguing that the U.S. public is being distracted by divisive issues like the Epstein files and midterms. They analyze the failure of political accountability, the "griftocracy" of American media, and the societal fragility exposed by recent events. The conversation also covers Bilss’s recent trip to Iran, where she observed immense civilizational solidarity despite Western narratives of collapse, and reflects on the tragic death of Hayden Panettiere.
