China, Cartels, and the Future of war

Danger Close Podcast

In this special episode Jack Carr revisits key insights from past guests to explore the shifting landscape of global power, warfare, and America’s place in what’s to come.

Featured segments include geopolitical strategist Peter Zeihan on China’s looming internal collapse-from declining birth rates to famine threats—and its potential push for war to maintain control at home. Zeihan also outlines how Taiwan and semiconductors fit into the broader picture and why the U.S. may be uniquely positioned to weather global conflict.

Investigative journalist Peter Schweizer breaks down how China is already waging a silent war against the U.S. through fentanyl, with Mexican cartels acting as second-tier partners.

A segment from Ed Calderon, former Mexican law enforcement officer and cartel expert, brings a raw, ground-level perspective to the fentanyl pipeline, giving added depth to the border’s role in this crisis.
