Summary

Chris and Yanni dive into the origins, evolution, and far-reaching influence of the military-industrial complex. From President Eisenhower’s warning to today’s trillion-dollar defense budgets, the boys explore how the alliance between government, the armed forces, and defense contractors shapes global policy, fuels conflict, and impacts democracy. Whether you're a history buff or just curious about who profits from war, this epy wepy pulls back the curtain on one of the most powerful forces in modern history.
