Trump’s Iran War Will DOUBLE Your Grocery Bill | Steve Franssen

Exploring Philosophy, Bitcoin, and the Future of Society with Steve Franssen

Rob Wallace sits down with author and philosopher Steve Franssen to discuss the intersection of Austrian economics, universal ethics, and the shifting global landscape of 2026. From finding "magic internet money" in 2010 to his deep dive into the works of Stefan Molyneux, Steve shares a unique perspective on why Bitcoin is the ultimate tool to "take the gun out of the hands" of central planners.

We dive deep into the challenges facing Millennials and Gen Z, the impact of inflation on the American dream, and the "war on masculinity" that is reshaping family formation. Steve also provides a sobering analysis of current geopolitical tensions, including the conflicts in Venezuela and Iran, and why he believes a "Bitcoin World Order" is the only path toward a wealthier, more property-rights-focused civilization.
