Trump’s Admin – Foreign Policy and Security – Part One
Date recorded: Jan 22, 2026
How does a war machine become dominant? By honing its operational efficiency and building out its technological superiority. That is exactly what Pete Hegseth, Secretary of War, is doing to the tune of billions of dollars. Yet again, fear-based messaging is being used as an excuse to transform our military into Skynet: AI, biotech (transhumanism), massive surveillance, autonomous equipment and so much more. With private partners (can we say fascism?) including Anduril, Palantir and SpaceX, what could go wrong??? Listen in to the details as Peter and Terra lay them out.
