I love Clifford Smith's sensible thinking and analysis on Foreign Policy and the Iranian influence as he builds his "case" on what is real and what is not. And then there's the internet which is totally opposite, with it's hype and untruths. And much has to do with all internet business being subscriptions, so news media and other outlets end up telling people what they want to hear to keep their subscribers. I watch a lot of movies also on Netflix and as movie subject matter becomes more about AI, robots gone bad and less about their characters; I think Z generation's minds have become "pixilated". I keep thinking about mad cow disease and how it killed so many people because the proteins of mad cow disease were straight and the proteins in our brain are curved like our DNA molecules. The mad cow diseases' proteins would take over our brains and turn our brain proteins straight, driving us insane and killing us. So I'm wary of any movie made by the Z generation.
Excellent episode Mr. Daly. Mr. Smith provided a lot of interesting information. I was not aware of the amount of influence Iran has in the United States.
I have questions about the discussion on the D.C. bureaucracy. How much power over the citizens of the United States do unelected bureaucrats have when creating regulations? Are we citizens receiving a good return on our "investment" (our tax dollars)? Is the Department of Government Efficiency a good idea?
Glad you liked it. I thought it was a really good discussion as well.
Most federal regulations ultimately come from the legislative branch, but the EPA for example have been given far too much power on that front. I think we both know the answer to the tax-dollar-investment question. lol. I don't oppose the idea of DOGE, but the proposals I've heard so far have been largely unserious and uninformed, and don't address our biggest spending problems.

The DOGE will very likely over promise and under deliver. I agree about the EPA.
