Lone goals: will US-Israel war aims diverge?

The podcast examines the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, highlighting the potential divergence in war aims between Israel, which seeks regime change, and the U.S., which is more focused on controlling Iranian oil and desires a stable regime. It also explores the ongoing Israeli offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon and its possible outcomes. The conversation turns to the stock market, where "crap" stocks, particularly in the energy sector, are outperforming high-quality stocks due to rising oil prices and increased uncertainty. Finally, the podcast presents an obituary of Philippe Gaulier, a master clown and teacher who used unconventional methods to help his students discover their unique comedic voices.
