Takeaways

Globalism has been a part of history for at least 200 years, starting with the Congress of Vienna and evolving through militaristic, diplomatic, scientific, and financial globalism. The financial globalism that emerged after World War II involved making the dollar the international unit of account, promoting free trade, and creating international financial institutions like the IMF and World Bank. There is a growing backlash against free trade due to unfair practices by other countries, such as blocking American products or stealing intellectual property. The future of the Republican Party and potential vice presidential candidates are discussed, with Ben Carson and Vivek Ramaswamy being mentioned as possible choices. There is concern about a spiral of silence in the country, but the guest believes that people will become more vocal and there may be a groundswell of reaction against recent events.
