Aug 4, 2026 · 37m
Summary
Erickson argues the US is willfully losing the war against Iran due to isolationist advisors seeking a multipolar world, citing Ukraine’s drone production as proof of American decline. He exposes billions in foreign funding for US left-wing groups and the co-opting of conservative voices by leftist foundations. The episode also covers Max Miller’s scandal, Graham Platner’s withdrawal, and Ireland’s anti-Israel policies.
