Summary

In this episode David Rutherford describes his journey down the rabbit hole and how he came to the realization that most of what he knew about the world was a lie. Then he and Buck Sexton explore the complexities of populism and nationalism in contemporary politics, particularly in Europe and the context of the Ukraine conflict. They discuss the challenges faced by populist leaders, the implications of nationalism versus globalism, and the role of NATO in current geopolitical tensions. The dialogue reflects on historical lessons from past wars and the importance of national identity in shaping future policies.
