Ross (Yergz) Yerger - Tariffs, Iran, Trump, and Echo Chambers
World Ablaze with George Fontes delivers unfiltered, no-bullshit conversations and hard-hitting unfiltered commentary on politics, news, and geopolitics.
Ross 'Yergz' Yerger joins the show.
Ross is a retired Secret Service agent and current media personality. Ross is know for his balanced political commentary and we put that to the test as we discuss the USA's geopolitical relationships and foreign policy under Trump. Our conversation takes us from strained relations with Canada, to Trump's use of tariffs as a weapon, and his hammer like approach with Iran.
Ross and I even discuss echo chambers in media and the need to have real conversations vs shouting matches.

"Why not? Show me I'm wrong! But not just 'your opinion,' but bring your receipts. SHOW me why your concept is better, and I'm a fan! After all, if you're going to teach me, that provides me an opportunity to teach my audience. And that's my job!"
