Doug also critiques the decline of American universities, pointing out how elite institutions have embraced woke ideologies while hoarding massive endowments. On the geopolitical front, Michael discusses the prolonged nature of the Ukraine war and warns that Israel may face existential threats if its conflict with Hamas and Hezbollah escalates.
