Niall Ferguson, Historian And Senior Fellow, Stanford University

Historian Niall Ferguson joins John to discuss the challenges facing Western societies, the geopolitical landscape, and cultural issues. He reflects on the shifting nature of Western academic institutions, which he believes have moved away from intellectual diversity and become dominated by progressive orthodoxies, prompting him to support the creation of a new university in Austin dedicated to open debate and the fearless pursuit of truth.Ferguson also addresses U.S. political dynamics, examining the impact of Donald Trump on American foreign policy and his influence on public discourse regarding China and globalism. He further explores the geopolitical threats posed by the rise of authoritarian states like China and Iran, advocating for a renewed focus on national security, fiscal responsibility, and technological innovation in the West.
