I don't know about you, but I'm having a hard time thinking about anything else except the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I'm really disturbed and distracted. Nonetheless, my dear friend from X Scott Bell, who used to regularly join me as a guest on Searching for Political Identity, joined me on Thursday night for the first time on The Brian Eskow Show. It was a pretty fascinating conversation about the economic undercurrents that dictate geopolitics. Let's just say it helped me view Trump, MAGA, Putin, and Europe in a whole new light. Of course, I don't know for sure if Scott's theory is correct, but there's no doubt that he sounds like he knows what he's talking about. I hope you enjoy the conversation, and that it takes your mind off the horrors of September 10th for a few minutes.
