Did the Trump administration really call Putin a "humanitarian," or did the media miss the point? Rod Martin joins Eric to break down Steve Witkoff's comments after Russia freed American Stephen Hubbard, and why Eric says it's diplomacy, not praise.They also take on the media's soft treatment of Ilhan Omar after the federal search of her home, the jobs and investment boom that Larry Kudlow calls the "greatest story never told," why gas costs more than it should, and how a few votes per precinct could decide the House in the midterms.Rod explains the argument of his new book, Trump's New World Re-Order: Dismantling the Deep State and Ending Postwar Globalist Rule (with a foreword by Eric). He argues that Trump is dismantling the bureaucratic order FDR built and replacing the postwar globalist order abroad, and that the Supreme Court's overturning of Humphrey's Executor changed the game.Plus: Eric's first pheasant hunt in South Dakota, and news on the Socrates in the City Mediterranean cruise, Eric's Nov. 12 conversation with Ignat Solzhenitsyn and the Dec. 9 gala. Trump's New World Re-Order is available now from Odysseus Books. Eric's book Revolution is available wherever books are sold.⭐ ORDER NOW:Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World📕: https://a.co/d/0ir3NlapTODAY'S SPONSORS:🪙 Grace Precious Metals: https://www.metaxasmetals.com/🛏️ MyPillow — Save BIG with code ERIC: https://www.mypillow.com/☀️ Chapter -- Honest, fast, and free Medicare plan guidance: https://askchapter.com/metaxas/🦅 Patriot Mobile -- America's ONLY Christian Conservative Wireless Provider: https://patriotmobile.com/partners/metaxas🏛️ Socrates in the City CRUISE: https://socratesinthecity.com/cruise/00:00 Socrates in the City: Cruise, Solzhenitsyn and the Gala06:22 Eric's First Pheasant Hunt12:42 Rod Martin and Trump's New World Re-Order15:32 A Million New Jobs and the Greatest Story Never Told20:04 Gas Prices and Energy Dominance24:45 Witkoff, Putin and the "Humanitarian" Uproar28:03 Ilhan Omar, USAID and the Media34:56 Four Votes Per Precinct: The Midterm Math40:00 FDR's Deep State and Humphrey's Executor43:07 Alternative Media and Why Rod Is Optimistic- - -LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@ericmetaxas#EricMetaxas #TheEricMetaxasShow #News #PoliticsChapter and its affiliates are not connected with or endorsed by any government entity or the federal Medicare program.
