A Predatory Hegemon

Episode #254

This week, Bill and Phil ask whether the United States is acting as a rogue state—or a predatory hegemon—shaking the foundations of the international system. They then turn to a conversation on Christian identity politics, examining how the administration is using religious language to frame its war against Iran.
