Zero Hour with James Poulos

Welcome to Zero Hour, where it’s always later than you think. America was convinced tech would complete our mastery of the world. Instead we got catastrophe—constant crisis from politics and the economy down to the spiritual fiber of our being. Time’s up for the era we grew up in. How do we pick ourselves up and begin again? To find out, visionary author and media theorist James Poulos cracks open the minds—and hearts—of today’s top figures in politics, tech, ideas, and culture.

    Ep 86 | The Bitcoin War: How Governments Are Rigging the System | Logan Allen

    Logan Allen, founder and CEO of Zorp Corp, joins James Poulos to uncover the truth about cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, energy control, bureaucratic control, and the war over technology. Can we reclaim digital freedom? Or are we stuck in a government-surveilled, bureaucratic future? Allen explains why most of crypto is a scam and how Bitcoin’s proof of work is our key to decentralized power. Governments and corporations use energy scarcity to maintain control. As Silicon Valley and the D.C. “Paper Belt” fight over the future — the worship of technology vs. bureaucracy — crypto continues to be a political battleground, threatening centralized control with a decentralized economic model. Are companies like Zorp Corp the future of critical infrastructure and crypto? Or will bureaucracy stand in the way as decentralization threatens its power? Learn more about your ad choices.

    Ep 85 | Trump's Plan to Clean Up the Middle East Mess Biden & Obama Left | Jacob Siegel

    Jacob Siegel, senior writer at Tablet magazine, joins James Poulos to break down Israel’s shocking technological advantage in information warfare. The collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s regime was a geopolitical earthquake, driven by Israel’s use of advanced intelligence and precision strikes — without the need for large-scale military invasions. This Middle East power shift took the world by surprise. As Israel reshapes the battlefield, Iran’s influence crumbles, and Obama and Biden’s foreign policy missteps come to light. With AI and digital warfare changing the future of global conflicts, will Trump double down on reshaping U.S. foreign policy — or pull out of the Middle East entirely?

    Ep 84 | Elon-Trump Domination: How Much POWER Does Silicon Valley Have? | Sohrab Ahmari

    Sohrab Ahmari, founder and editor of Compact, joins James Poulos to discuss the new Trump era of nationalism and populism centered on workers, tariffs, and immigration policy. As Trump brings Elon Musk into the conversation, conservatives are divided over Musk’s libertarian, techno-utopian vision where AI and free markets drive the future. Will these two visions clash in the near future? Ahmari warns that private power like Big Tech and leaders like Elon Musk can be just as dangerous as government overreach — something libertarians need to take note of. With corporate influence, Section 230, woke capitalism, and the rise of digital censorship still shaping the political landscape, conservatives must decide: Should they trust Musk or challenge him?   Go to www.FarmerBillsProvisions.com or click the link in the show notes.

    Ep 83 | How Trump Is BREAKING the Racist DEI Caste System | Jeremy Carl

    James Poulos and former Stanford research fellow Jeremy Carl dive into what the future of DEI in America will look like under President Trump. Carl outlines how foreigners used to immigrate to America because it was the “land of opportunity,” with the intention of building their lives and contributing to our country. But now, it has turned into a free-for-all with massive criminal outbreaks due to the illegal immigrants who were allowed to enter the U.S. The possibility of all this DEI craziness being wiped out by President Trump is strong, but will he be able to return a sense of normalcy?
