A Global Attack On Liberty

Glenn and Eric Meder rejoin the program to discuss the ongoing attack on liberty worldwide and how it is increasingly taking place through insidious means woven into our everyday lives. From expanding surveillance and digital tracking to the growing systems of technological control around us, we examine how convenience can quietly become a mechanism for monitoring and restricting individual freedom.

We also discuss an important distinction: Technology itself does not have to be limiting. It has enormous potential to increase human freedom, independence and opportunity—yet that is not the direction much of today’s technology is taking.
–
Glenn and Eric are the father-and-son team behind Privacy Academy, an organization inspired by liberty and designed to help the average, non-techy person understand the threats posed by surveillance and learn practical ways to preserve their privacy.

We discuss why privacy is about much more than hiding personal information, why it is fundamentally connected to liberty, and what ordinary people can do to regain greater control over their digital lives before the infrastructure of surveillance becomes even more deeply embedded in society. Here’s more from Sarah Westall in a new edition of Business Game Changers.

Who’s Banking On War?

Geopolitical analyst and President of the LaRouche Organization Harley Schlanger returns to the program to break down the agendas he believes are driving the wars in Iran and Ukraine. Schlanger explains why he sees these conflicts as fundamentally at odds with the interests of the MAGA base—and, more broadly, with the interests of the United States. We discuss who benefits from prolonged conflict, why diplomatic off-ramps continue to fail, and the powerful financial and geopolitical interests he believes are working to keep both wars alive.
–
Schlanger also shares his perspective on Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, the former governor of both the Bank of Canada and Bank of England, and what his rise represents within the global financial establishment. We examine the role of central banking and financial interests in today’s geopolitical order, why Schlanger believes continued instability in the Middle East and Ukraine serves a much larger agenda, and whether the United States is being pulled further away from the anti-war and America First policies many voters believed they were supporting.

What’s Driving Tariff Battles?

Economist and geopolitical analyst Tom Luongo joins the Economic Review to break down what he believes are the real forces driving the Iran war, the Canadian tariffs, and other major geopolitical and economic developments reshaping the global landscape. Luongo goes beyond the conventional headlines to examine the competing interests, financial pressures, and strategic objectives he sees operating behind these events.
–
We also dig into the recent NDAA legislation, comparing the Senate and House versions and examining what the language actually says. We discuss why the word “integration” can be misleading, what the proposed military cooperation could mean in practice, and why we both believe integrating U.S. military capabilities with any foreign state is an unwise direction. Global economics do not operate in a vacuum—they are increasingly the direct result of the geopolitical power struggles, alliances, conflicts, and strategic decisions unfolding around the world.

Here’s more from Sarah Westall in a new edition of her Economic Review series. It’s an ongoing feature on her channel Business Game Changers.

You Can Be Faked

Intelligence analyst and Morningside Analytics CEO Carolina Kallaus joins the program to expose some of the most disturbing trends she is uncovering through her work in digital forensics and high-stakes intelligence. We discuss the growing world of human trafficking, fraud, online impersonation and sophisticated digital manipulation—and how rapidly advancing AI is giving criminals entirely new capabilities.
–
One of the most alarming trends Kallaus is seeing is the rise of sextortion. She explains how criminals can use intimate or fabricated material to extort money, destroy reputations and manipulate their targets—and why AI dramatically expands who can become a victim. As the line between what is real and what can be convincingly manufactured continues to disappear, Kallaus warns that virtually anyone can become a target. Here’s more from Sasrah Westall on a new edition of Business Game Changers.

Will Corruption Files Reach FBI?

Former Sheriff’s Deputy, U.S. Marine, and whistleblower John Mark Dougan returns to the program to share an extraordinary series of events surrounding a cache of highly sensitive documents he says expose criminal activity involving some of the world’s most powerful people.

Dougan says his goal has been simple: Get the information into the hands of FBI Director Kash Patel. But instead of being able to deliver the documents, he says the people closest to him have become the focus of unexpected scrutiny.
–
Dougan describes how family members, friends, and former colleagues have allegedly been investigated, visited, and followed while he has attempted to navigate this situation. He shares why he believes this is happening, what the documents allegedly contain, and the challenges he’s faced trying to get them into the right hands. Here’s more from Sarah Westall on a new edition of Business Game Changers.

Reshaping The World Order

Economist Martin Armstrong returns to the program to provide the strategic insights and geopolitical analysis that have made him one of the most closely followed economic forecasters in the world. We discuss what President Donald Trump’s meeting with Xi Jinping likely resulted in regarding Taiwan and the broader implications for the balance of power in Asia.

Armstrong shares his perspective on the negotiations, the interests of the major players involved, and why the public narrative often misses the deeper strategic objectives shaping world events.
–
Armstrong also discusses his involvement in the brokered peace framework with Vladimir Putin and explains why he believes President Trump has followed many of the key elements outlined in the agreement. According to Armstrong, these developments represent a positive step toward a more productive working relationship with Russia. Here’s more from Sarah Westall on Business Game Changers.

Look Deeper: Epstein, Hormuz

Colonel Rob Maness joins the program to discuss the strategies that may be behind the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and what the move could be designed to accomplish. He argues that the United States is oil independent and far less dependent on the Strait than China and many European countries, raising the possibility that the closure is aimed less at weakening America and more at exploiting foreign vulnerabilities.
–
We also discuss Jeffrey Epstein and why the story doesn’t end with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Colonel Maness argues that exposing the broader network of influence, compromise, and power surrounding the Epstein Class is far more important than simply prosecuting two individuals.

If the underlying systems and operations remain intact, removing the visible figures changes very little. Understanding how these networks function—and whom they serve—may be one of the most important issues facing the public today.

Desperate People: Dangerous

Dr. Elida Dakoli joins the program to share her family’s firsthand experience surviving one of the most brutal Communist regimes in modern history. A concert pianist and author, Dr. Dakoli recounts the murder of her grandfather, who served as mayor of her hometown in Albania.

He was targeted during a Communist Party crackdown, along with other members of her family. She explains how fear, surveillance, and silence became tools of control, creating a society where people learned that speaking openly could come at an unimaginable cost.
–
Sarah Westall and Dr. Dakoli discuss the unsettling parallels they believe are emerging in the West today as governments grow larger and citizens increasingly look to institutions for security during periods of economic hardship. As prices rise, jobs become scarcer, and financial pressures mount, they explore the importance of resisting the temptation to exchange freedom for promises of stability and support. Here’s more from Westall on a new edition of her series Business Game Changers.

What Happened To Hollywood?

Internationally award-winning director Sergio Navarretta, best known for his 2019 film The Cuban, with Lou Gossett Jr., joins the program for a candid conversation about Hollywood, culture, and the future of storytelling.
–
Drawing from his extensive experience in the film industry, Sergio shares his perspective on where Hollywood has been, where it is today, and where it may be headed in the years ahead. We discuss how the cultural landscape has shifted over the past two decades and examine ideas, values, and conversations that were widely accepted not long ago but have become increasingly controversial or off-limits today.
–
What has driven these changes? How has the entertainment industry influenced broader cultural trends? And what role does Hollywood play in shaping the values and perspectives of future generations?
–
We examine the evolution of the film industry, the challenges facing creators, the impact of cultural shifts on storytelling, and what it will take to restore creativity, balance, and meaningful dialogue in entertainment. Behind every film is a business model, and behind every business model are incentives that shape the stories a culture tells itself. Here’s more from Sarah Westall on a new edition of Business Game Changers.

The Quest To Become Gods

Geopolitical analyst Dave Hodges returns to the program to discuss what he believes are the true intentions of today’s technocratic power players. Hodges argues that their ultimate goal extends far beyond wealth and control, reaching toward the pursuit of superhuman capabilities and the desire to transcend what it means to be human.
–
We also examine whether some of the most powerful individuals shaping our future possess the wisdom necessary to lead during this pivotal period in history. Beyond intelligence and influence, we question whether they have the character, self-awareness, and moral foundation needed to rise above the experiences and motivations that shaped them. As technology advances at an unprecedented pace, the conversation turns to one of the most important questions of our time: who should be trusted to guide humanity’s future?

Here’s more from Sarah Westall on Business Game Changers.
