Scott Horton is the director of Antiwar.com and one of the most outspoken critics of US foreign policy.

In this episode, Scott explains how war connects directly to the things people feel every day - rising prices, falling purchasing power, growing debt and a system that never seems to improve no matter who is in charge.

We also discuss how governments fund wars, why debt keeps expanding, how inflation quietly shifts the cost onto ordinary people and the incentives that keep the cycle going. Lastly, Scott explains the role of media, the relationship between politics and defence spending, and why these conflicts continue even when public support is weak.

Are we heading for a mathematical market crash or has the system just been perfectly designed to extract your wealth? In this episode, I sit down with macro-strategist Mike Green to discuss the hidden plumbing of the global economy. Mike explains why the stock market is no longer tied to reality, how the rise of passive index funds has created a dangerous "flow inelastic trap" and why the modern retirement system is forcing a massive generational wealth crisis.

Mike also explains the brutal economic realities of the Middle East conflict, how monopolies have secretly captured free-market capitalism and reveals a new data point: how corporations are actively using AI to eliminate jobs for the younger generation.
