34:51Now PlayingProf. Wolff and I spent this conversation wrestling with a central, uncomfortable question: are we watching the collapse of an American era, or have we entered a period where coherence itself has become the first casualty? It sometimes feels like the zeitgeist can be summed up with three simple initials: “WTF!”
Here, Prof. Wolff and I work on separating the signal from the noise. We discuss the vacuum left by the collapse of ideologies, the grotesque theater of figures like Hegseth and Melania, performing roles they clearly didn't create for themselves, the dangerous incoherence of the war against Iran, and the real possibility that Europe—stung by tariffs, excluded from war councils, and humiliated by a country it once trusted—may ultimately turn toward Russia and China for a better deal.
Neither of us claimed to have a clean theory. After all, these aren’t very ‘clean’ times. But we need to watch very carefully and react accordingly.
