Geopolitics, Gaslighting and the Graveyard of Critical Thinking

We cover the unraveling of Russia’s economy and ask whether Putin’s empire is finally cracking under the weight of its own lies... while America's favorite foreign agent, Tucker Carlson, shouts from the rooftops how great they're doing as part of his full-time job as a mouthpiece for anti-American regimes. We dive into three big debates: 1) Why did Russia really invade Ukraine (better late than never); 2) Is Iran truly an existential threat to the US (or just our allies)?; 3) Should Khomeini be allowed to live? We also break down the recent Iranian bombing of an Israeli hospital, the world’s silence on it and what it reveals about selective outrage. Finally, we ask what ever happened to actual discourse in America? From algorithm-fed rage to intellectual laziness to ideological siloing, we’re watching a nation lose its ability to think... and we’re here to call it out.
