Question

What is the Fourth Turning theory Andy Frisella and DJ discuss on REAL AF?

Answered from 1074. Andy & DJ CTI: Netanyahu Faces Political Uncertainty, China's Population Crisis & Conservative Activists Charged With Illegal Voting · REAL AF with Andy Frisella · 2026-10-30

DJ describes the Strauss-Howe Fourth Turning theory, published by two historians in 1997, which holds that history runs in roughly 80-year cycles of four 20-year turnings, each ending in a crisis: World War II, the Civil War and the American Revolution before it. DJ says we are due for a global event. Andy Frisella credits his late friend Stefan Aarnio, who died on May 6, 2020, with warning about this long before others, and argues the generation born 1982 to 2006 is the last that remembers life before.
