| 6/26/26 | Post-Liberal International Relations and the End of Ideology, w/ Daniel Bessner | Ep. 308 | Why is America no longer the global hegemon? What is world order becoming after liberal hegemony? What's happening to international relations as a discipline? What does it mean to say that the era of ideology is over? In what way does Daniel Bessner sort of agree with G. John Ikenberry? Why does the dominance of liberal capitalism means shedding liberalism, and why does that help explain the world's ongoing polycrisis? Dr. Daniel Bessner (from the American Prestige Podcast) joins Dr. Van Jackson to make sense of the world by way of his essay in The Ideas Letter, "Power Without Ideology: Welcome to the Multipolar World." | — | ||||||
| 6/19/26 | Pacific Power Rebrand | Iran War Peace Deal | Peter Theil’s Secret Society | The Politics of Antimilitarism | Ep. 307 | Inside the peace deal end the US war against Iran--and the spoilers that can bring it down. What’s behind the Department of War’s name change from Indo-Pacific Command to Pacific Command? Why decolonizing the Pacific Islands Region (including Guam) has to be part of American territorial defense. Taking a zero-based approach to the military budget. And Peter Theil’s secret society has way too many liberal and Democratic Party names on its members list. | — | ||||||

| 3/2/26 | Five Uncomfortable Truths About War Against Iran | Ep. 289 | In this episode live on location in the Kapiti Coast (the background noise is the ocean), Dr. Van Jackson explains five truths about war with Iran that account for why the war happened, who benefits from it, and what comes next. | — | ||||||
| 2/27/26 | Iran War Conspiracy | A.I. Nuclear Escalation Threat | Joint Staff Purge | Palantir Democrats | Ep. 288 | As the Trump administration prepares for war with Iran, why does it suddenly care about manufacturing consent? Inside the US military's munitions shortfall and what it says about capitalism, oligarchy, and the US relationship with war. War games with artificial intelligence say chatbots choose escalation to nuclear war 95% of the time. What's at stake in Anthropic's fight with the Pentagon, and why it's not as it seems. The Democratic Party--and American democracy--has a Palantir problem. Also this episode: why two senior officers have been purged from the Joint Staff. Dr. Van Jackson breaks all that down and more. | — | ||||||
| 2/20/26 | AOC's Anti-Fascist Foreign Policy | Iran War Dilemma | Anthropic A.I.

Why is the US about to illegally attack Iran, again? Proof from the New York Times that the Democratic Party as we know it is in crisis. And what we can learn about tech-worker backlash against AI and Anthropic's fight with the Pentagon. | — | ||||||
| 2/13/26 | Peace Activism, the Iraq War, and the New Militarism w/ David Cortright | Ep. 286 | How did opposition to the Iraq War become the largest peace movement in recorded history? Why is the world ripe for a new generation of peace activism? And why is it so important to diagnose militarism as a primary cause of global insecurity today? Dr. David Cortright--a legendary peace activist and peace scholar--joins the pod to offer an oral history of the global peace movement in the context of his career, from protesting the Vietnam War to running SANE (The Committee for a SANE Nuclear Policy) and co-founding Win Without War. | — | ||||||
| 2/10/26 | Live! What's Causing America's Imperial Decline? | Ep. 285 | Recorded on location in the wilds of New Zealand’s Kapiti Coast. Why is America declining? Grand strategists, pundits, and scholars have been debating the best label for US foreign policy during the Trump presidency: illiberal hegemony; neo-royalism; reactionary nationalism; predatory hegemony. But none of these labels offer an account of themselves. Why is the US engaged in predatory behavior abroad? Why has American hegemony ended? The answer can be found in imperialism and its causes. A crisis of capitalism is accelerating imperial decline, which is birthing what you might call the Age of Primitive Accumulation. Geopolitics has fundamentally changed, and if we don't recognize the shift as a turn to imperialist foreign policy--which facilitates primitive accumulation--we will fail to understand and respond to the darkness washing over the world. | — | ||||||
| 2/6/26 | The End of Arms Control | Pentagon Concentration Camps | Bezos Kills the Washington Post | Neocons Still Run DC? | Ep. 284 | How the Pentagon is facilitating the rapid expansion "ghost network" concentration camps in America. Why arms control is dying and what to make of the New START Treaty's expiration. Jeff Bezos has effectively killed The Washington Post--what's next? Why neoconsevative foreign policy hawks still run Washington. And the importance of Gary Stevenson's story in The Trading Game for understanding the decline of empire. Van Jackson, Julia Gledhill, and Matt Duss cover all that and more in the latest episode. | — | ||||||
