In a 57-minute special, I joined CEO Retort’s Tim El-Sheikh to analyze spectacle in hard-right politics from Donald Trump’s MAGA to his Ultimate Fighting Championship cage matches on the White House South Lawn to the damage of Brexit in the UK.
We also check in on “trillionaire” Elon Musk and Russia’s “hybrid warfare”, benefitting from the disruption and division of the hard right.
