Why Nobody Trusts Institutions Anymore | Bryan Callen & Gerard Michaels

Bryan Callen sits down with Gerard Michaels for a wide-ranging conversation about why so many people no longer trust institutions. They dive into foreign policy, war, corruption, lobbying, populism, capitalism, and the growing belief that the system no longer works for everyday people. The conversation covers everything from Iraq and Vietnam to modern political theater, campaign finance, monopolies, and why younger generations distrust media and government. They also get into AI, Yuval Noah Harari, and what the future of work and human identity might look like. This is a deep, unfiltered discussion about power, trust, and where things may be headed next. Topics include: • Why trust in government and media is collapsing • Foreign policy, war, and skepticism of institutions • Lobbying, corruption, and campaign finance • Populism vs democracy • Why politics rewards the “greedy and the crazy” • Monopolies, private equity, and broken capitalism • Consumer frustration and rising costs • Cultural shifts around identity and victimhood • AI, automation, and the future of work • Yuval Noah Harari and the idea of humans as “hackable systems” Subscribe for more conversations on politics, culture, comedy, and the biggest issues shaping the world today. 00:00 Opening debate on power, success, and victimhood 01:26 Intro: Bryan Callen and Gerard Michaels 03:20 Foreign policy and the military industrial complex 05:00 Why younger generations distrust institutions 06:05 Influence, power, and global politics 10:17 Israel, leadership, and political radicalization 13:26 Populism vs democracy and the American system 15:03 Vietnam, media narratives, and history 17:16 Religion, geopolitics, and historical conflict 22:48 Political alliances and global influence 24:40 Leadership, war, and hardened decision-making 27:17 Washington, corruption, and political theater 30:17 Why democracy rewards extremes 34:22 Feminism, identity, and cultural movements 38:31 Criticism, labels, and public discourse 40:57 Foreign policy analogy: “big friend vs small friend” 41:34 Fighting, sports, and reality vs perception 45:13 Expertise, institutions, and knowledge gaps 47:11 Inside politics: Chris Christie and backroom deals 51:04 Taxes, inflation, and where money goes 55:15 Debt strikes and consumer power 58:01 Lobbying and campaign finance issues 01:02:44 Globalism, monopolies, and lost communities 01:05:01 Market manipulation and regulation failures 01:06:12 Yuval Noah Harari and AI concerns 01:09:18 Robots, automation, and the future of work 01:10:14 Outro @bryanCallen and ‪@GerardvsEvil‬ Stand up Tickets at BryanCallen.com
