Rational Revolution host Mark Becker knows that there’s more that unites us than divides us, and he's dedicated to connecting the dots between the left and the right here in Wisconsin. Using wit, research, and views from different perspectives, he's bringing a much-needed “rational revolution” to listeners each week. Listen Live: 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm Saturday
Mark Becker and Vice President at the Niskanen Center, Geoff Kabaservice, dive into the tumultuous global arena, spotlighting Iran's geopolitical tensions and the U.S.'s waning influence. They dissect Trump's incendiary rhetoric and its potential to ignite regional conflicts, while highlighting China's strategic rise as a global power.
The episode critiques America's fracturing alliances, with China seizing the opportunity to position itself as a stabilizing force. Domestically, the focus shifts to Wisconsin's political landscape, heralding Chris Taylor's victory over extremism. However, Mark warns of complacency, emphasizing the need for unity and vigilance against partisan polarization to reclaim America's global stature. Guest: Geoff Kabaservice
