Ted Jones, a British deportee, discusses his 20+ years in the US, his detention by ICE, and the surprising realities of the deportation process, often contrasting with political rhetoric. He shares his conservative, Catholic-informed views on law and immigration, even as someone who lived unlawfully, and critiques both the left and right on their understanding of the issue. The conversation also delves into his controversial initial impressions of Britain, the country's perceived decline in national pride, and his personal journey to define his identity between American, British, and Ghanaian cultures.

Hungary. For years, we’ve been told there is no alternative. That mass migration is inevitable and even beneficial. That borders are outdated. That resistance is immoral. But standing here, on the southern frontier of the European Union, a very different reality emerges, one ...

The discussion also touches on the philosophical underpinnings of this shift, from post-war liberalism to hyper-individualism, and the challenges of finding meaning and connection in a digitally saturated world.

Haviv Rettig Gur and Winston Marshall analyze the Iran war, challenging the narrative that Israel "dragged" the US into the conflict. They reveal Iran's deep strategic ties to China, with Chinese assistance bolstering missile capabilities and nuclear infrastructure, making Iran a key component of China's geopolitical strategy against American power.
