The Narrative Ep. 76: Trump the Time Lord

Burning Bright welcomes back Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Steven L. Kwast for a conversation about Trump's relationship with time, mechanistic, esoteric, and everything in between. They open by questioning why so much commentary fixates on Iran and geopolitics when the real step change moves may be sitting in plain sight, in executive orders on energy, nuclear regulatory reform, and data center infrastructure. From there the discussion widens into psychological warfare, the gap between the narrative war and the actual war beneath it, and General Kwast's read on national character, self sufficiency, and what it means to hold a healthy skepticism of everyone, including the people you support. It is a thoughtful mix of hardware and philosophy, grounded by a guest uniquely equipped to speak to both.
