单集简介 ...

A week into Donald Trump’s “second first term,” the GoodFellows drink from the proverbial fire hose trying to keep up with the news: a flurry of presidential executive orders; a freezing of US foreign aid; policy spats with multiple nations; at Davos, the world’s globalists contending with MAGA; a Chinese advancement in artificial intelligence that prompted a market selloff and evokes memories of the Cold War’s space race. Hoover senior fellows Niall Ferguson, John Cochrane, and H.R. McMaster discuss the significance of the aid freeze; what Colombia’s agreement to accept deportees after threats of a tariff war portends for Trump-brand foreign policy; how the times have changed at Davos’s annual World Economic Forum; plus whether the emergence of China’s DeepSeek app will trigger a modern-day “moonshot” within the AI sector. Next, the fellows discuss matters they deem neglected (are Russia and Iran’s regimes on the ropes?), a DEI executive order, whether Trump’s revoking of security clearances and dignitary protection was justified or vindictive, plus the three fellows’ Super Bowl plans. Recorded on January 28, 2025.

  • a Hoover Institution broadcast examining social, economic, political, and geopolitical concerns.

  • I'm Bill Whalen.

  • I'm a Hoover Distinguished Policy Fellow slash moderator.

  • I'd like to introduce you to the stars of our show.

  • That would include former presidential, national security advisor, Lieutenant General H.

  • R.

  • McMaster, and making his long-awaited return, the grumpy economist himself, John Cochran.

  • John, I turn to you.

  • I had several very distraught friends asking where you were on the last show.

  • It seems when John Cochran is not in the show, people's universes are fundamentally unsettled.

  • So how are you, my friend?

  • I'm fine.

  • Thank you.

  • I had a tiny little surgery in my tongue,
