Will the US-Israeli War on Iran resume soon? Laith Marouf from @TVFreePalestine believes so. Despite that, however, Trump has found himself in an unwinnable quagmire that's bound to only get worse. Meanwhile, the Saudi's are losing the war they started. youtu.be/xC-F0RVfkmw?si=cjXs…
How did China go from villages without electricity in the late 1980s to a global leader in energy and 6G in two generations? Warwick Powell joins me live in Xiong’an, China, to talk about planning and how socialism is out-developing monopoly capitalism: youtu.be/vi2GiVBG7p0?si=sHKx…
In the West, the question isn’t whether to bomb Iran but whether to do it before or after its elections. This time, however, Iran won’t hold back anymore. Seyed M. Marandi joins me to discuss this and more: youtu.be/tmvuLtYBzuA?si=9LGb…
New episode with Sergey Glazyev, recorded at the Global Governance Initiative Forum in China. We discuss multipolarity, the global move to the East, and looming financial crisis: youtu.be/8Eb5aSncK00?si=xkBu…
China went from leading in almost no industries to leading in EVs, batteries, drones and biotech in five years. Meanwhile, Washington keeps telling Beijing to invest less and consume more. John Ross (@JohnRoss43 ) joins me to discuss this and more: youtu.be/GWzgIYvwp9k?si=fjct…
Will Trump try to steal the midterm election? He ran as a peace president, then launched a war on Iran without public support, and now his approval ratings are plummeting. David Gibbs joins me to discuss this: youtu.be/T1QW33N4gjA?si=eeSm…
I recently travelled to Japan and spoke at the Kyoto Symposium organised by @PLottaz . Be sure to check out my speech on the decline of the global capitalist order, the emerging multipolarity, and the necessity of Marxism: youtu.be/w2cS1wn7dUQ?si=SFVm…
Ukraine is losing, Europe can’t afford the war, and even Trump wants out. So why won’t Europe’s leaders stop? Michael Hudson and I discuss the war as cover for corporate handouts and NATO’s class war on European workers: youtu.be/7vKwDrLxcys?si=VsLJ…
New episode with Sara Vivacqua and Professor Afonso de Albuquerque on Brazil’s runoff. Bolsonaro has Trump, Meta and the megachurches behind him. Lula has millions of Brazilians in the streets. But who will win?youtu.be/hzejjvFWyOQ?si=kuzH…
New episode with KJ Noh. The US has controlled South Korea’s military since 1950 and still won’t give it back. Washington is now setting South Korea up as its Ukraine against China. youtu.be/lDUzcuMlHFQ?si=qoqB…
New discussion with Sushant Singh (@SushantSin ) on the protests shaking India.
Young people are being beaten and jailed in Delhi over the electoral rolls. Modi's invincible aura, however, has been shattered. Is this the end for him? youtu.be/PjIX_PnZcDc?si=VtWJ…
The irony of dedollarization is that it is happening, but no alternative is ready. Instead, the dollar system is collapsing under its own contradictions, while elites, especially those from the World Majority, continue to park their wealth in dollars: youtu.be/qNe_02uP5jk?si=oPZD…
New episode with Dimitri Lascaris, who calls Mark Carney “arguably the greatest political scam in Canadian history.” We discuss how Carney plays the defender of Canada while selling it off to Trump, and why Canadians have yet to see through the act.youtu.be/zgSWMIui-ok?si=i7v8…
New episode with Michael Hudson on the AI bubble.
The US wants AI as a monopoly choke point on the world economy, while China is handing out open-source models. Watch it here: youtu.be/qBR9duB35eQ?si=afNE…
I spoke with Professor Mohammad Marandi at the Valdai Club in Moscow about the weakened Gulf monarchies and how the American War on Iran has backfired: youtu.be/38dMSIKOENc?si=rBJn…
New discussion with Laith Marouf from Free Palestine TV about the Iran War lull, the Saudi retreat in Yemen, the Mecca alliance, and how the economic blowback is hitting the West harder than Iran: youtu.be/tVOJhCZvHJA?si=R8oP…
Trump's summit with Xi produced almost nothing concrete. No deal on Taiwan, AI or Iran. But he greeted Xi at Andrews Air Force Base, something no US president has done in 60 years. Einar Tangen joins me to discuss what the summit really meant: youtu.be/c60t9Q-4DKo?si=fqa0…
The Fed, alongside many other global so-called independent central banks, just raised interest rates. But today's inflation comes from war and supply shocks, not excess demand. So why hike? @RichardJMurphy joins me to answer this question: youtu.be/pbLO_n1wOa0?si=NvVK…
For the first time in its history, South Korea has told Washington "No". It refused to send troops to Trump's war on Iran. I am joined by KJ Noh to discuss this:

India had a choice: join the new multipolar order with China and Russia, or keep betting on a declining American century. I am joined by Pravin Sawhney (@PravinSawhney) to discuss why India abandoned its sovereignty and chose the latter. youtu.be/TLH9u9A4Ewg?si=bgYe…
