Yesterday I had Mike Farris come back on the podcast to discuss a wide variety of topics, from geopolitics, Trump 2.0, to the health of America, and the pros and cons of podcasting and content creation. He let me rant a bit a bit on some of the things going on today, but it was a fun conversation. You can find him on Twitter, YouTube, and all of the main podcast apps.

Podcast Summary

* His skepticism on the recent news around USAID, DOGE, and Elon Musk.

* The Cabinet confirmations and what their impact might look like.

* The Middle East, Israel, Ukraine, and the likelihood that Trump is able to resolve things.

* Why Turkey is the wildcard in the Middle East.

* The pace that things are moving and how it is hard to stay up to date.

* Potential shifts in the Overton Window and why it might accelerate.

* Lawfare and why he is pessimistic on the way things are going.

* I rant on the state of food and health in America, and how it has deteriorated over the last several decades.

* Ozempic side effects.
