In Episode 22 of The Narrative, Burning Bright welcomes Ghost for a sweeping breakdown of Trump’s recent Middle East “Gulf Tour”, a trip the hosts frame as both a declaration of victory and a signal of a new sovereign alliance. They compare Trump’s visits to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE to his 2017 trip, unpacking how this time marks a pivot from covert alignment to overt declarations of friendship, investment, and shared vision for a post-globalist world.

The duo dives deep into Trump’s powerful Riyadh speech, the symbolism of Middle Eastern ceremony, Qatar’s geopolitical transformation, and how the Abraham Accords are setting the stage for a generational peace. Also featured are breakdowns of Syria’s “jihadist in a suit” leadership, the inversion of mainstream narratives, a lithium-powered energy transition, and what Ghost sees as a strategic trap for Netanyahu and the neocon apparatus. This is narrative warfare on a global scale, told like only these two can.
