What to talk about when the world is ending.
from The Ignition News Podcast · host From The Rebel Radio Network
The world feels like it is unraveling in real time, and today on The Ignition News, Dan asks the question that keeps coming up: what do you talk about when it feels like the world is ending?On today's episode: Trump held a press conference where he claimed the U.S. could "finish Iran in one evening," while Pete Hegseth promised major strikes ahead. Meanwhile, the administration still refuses to acknowledge the full scope of military losses, including roughly $200 million in downed aircraft, and soldiers are reportedly being quartered in hotels after bases across the Middle East sustained heavy damage. Dr. Vin Gupta publicly listed five clinical markers of dementia he has observed in the president, and Trump's Easter Truth Social post included the phrase "praise be to Allah," raising serious concerns about both his judgment and his cognitive state.The economic fallout is already here. Amazon hit 2 million sellers with a 3.5% surcharge. UPS, FedEx, and USPS have all raised fuel charges. Diesel is over $5 a gallon and crude has passed $107 a barrel. Food insecurity is next.But today also brought two stories about people choosing to build rather than despair, including a moderator opening a community restaurant in rural Oregon and a young rebel selling custom 3D printed safety whistles to fund his own 3D printer. No one is coming to save us. It is up to us.
