Nuclear Expert Predicts How Launching a Single Nuke Could Wipe Out All of Humanity

This podcast is a lengthy discussion, Professor Ivana Hughes of Columbia, about the catastrophic and long-lasting effects of nuclear weapons compared to conventional ones, emphasizing that a nuclear war would likely lead to global devastation and mass starvation due to nuclear winter and ozone layer destruction. The conversation details the immense power difference between historical and modern nuclear bombs, noting that even a single weapon over a city like New York could cause millions of casualties, and argues that current US nuclear policy of "launch on warning" is dangerously destabilizing. Interspersed throughout this serious discussion are three brief commercial segments promoting a Christian prayer app to combat spiritual decline, a home security system that focuses on deterrence, and a call for a new 9/11 commission alleging government foreknowledge and cover-up of the attacks.
