Here’s the truth | Mary Beard: Full Interview ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_yP8C7uo3Y Dan Carlin has spent decades explaining history's collapses. Now he's watching one happen in real time. In conversation with Kmele Foster, Carlin unpacks the state of societal collapse, the erosion of our nation's shared truth, and the sharp comparison between the 80’s’ Xeroxed flyers on windshields and the present day flooding of information. He explains why the Constitution was designed to prevent tyranny, not efficiency, how that tradeoff is finally being tested, and why Congress's refusal to declare war for decades has altered the rules of executive power. 0:
