If the Secretary of Defense can fire 26 generals in 14 months without a single misconduct charge, does America still have a military — or does it have a loyalty test with tanks?

Pete Hegseth just purged another wave of senior officers — and Yaron Brook says this isn't discipline, it's the politicization of the most powerful military on earth. In this episode, Yaron rips into the Pentagon's chain-of-command chaos, explains why Iran's regime is still standing despite two "wars" and a "ceasefire," and breaks down why Putin — hiding in a bunker, terrified of his own generals — is losing a war he started. Then it's JD Vance's play for 2028, a $40 trillion debt bomb nobody in Washington wants to talk about, oil markets bracing for the next shock, and Trump's "golden share" grab into private companies — a policy Bernie Sanders would love. Yaron closes where he always does: on the founders, builders, and achievers who actually move history forward, while politicians just move the furniture.

If you think foreign policy, debt, and government ownership of business are separate stories — you're missing the pattern. Watch to see it.
