  • It's Friday, March 6th, 2026, and welcome back to Goodfellas,

  • a Hoover Institution broadcast examining history, economics, and geopolitics.

  • I'm Bill Whalen.

  • I'm a Hoover Distinguished Policy Fellow.

  • I'll be your moderator today.

  • It's my great honor to be joined by three very distinguished gentlemen here at the Hoover Institution,

  • or Goodfellas as we like to call them.

  • I'm referring to the historian, Sir Neil Ferguson.

  • The economist John Cochrane and Lieutenant General H.R.

  • McMaster, former presidential national security adviser.

  • Neil John and H.R.

  • are Hoover senior fellows.

  • Gentlemen, this is the dominoes version of Good Fellows today.

  • We're going to try to deliver a show in 30 minutes.

  • So here goes.

  • I want our listeners and viewers to know that Neil has written a just tremendous piece in the free press.

  • Its title is Could This Be the Start of World War Three?

  • And in it, Neil details 10 questions related to the situation in Iran.

  • I'm not going to read them all, but H.R., I want to go to you.

  • And I want you to answer questions six and five, which are how widespread will the war get?
