Donald Trump's proposed “Board of Peace” is being sold as a bold new approach to global diplomacy. In reality, it represents one of the most dangerous assaults on the post-World War II international order in decades. This video breaks down how a narrowly defined UN ceasefire resolution for Gaza was transformed into something entirely different: a private, treaty-based global authority centered not on states, law, or democracy—but on Donald Trump personally. With no term limits, no removal mechanism, and total control over membership, finances, and succession, the Board of Peace is structured to outlive elections, bypass governments, and concentrate unprecedented power in the hands of one man and his chosen heirs.

Can Donald Trump's new Board of Peace really compete with the Security Council? Will we even be discussing it a week or two from now, or will Trump and other world leaders simply move on? And what's with the Board's logo, which looks almost like a parody of the United Nations emblem? Mark and Anjali break down the newest—and perhaps strangest—entrant into the multilateral peace and security space, answering these questions and more. But first, they take stock of the major stories set to dominate the agenda at the United Nations as the world body closes out its 80th year. https://www.globaldispatches.org/

Show Notes: Jason Baumgarten is a partner at Spencer Stuart where he is also the global head and CEO of board practice. He assists businesses in all sectors to identify and evaluate CEOs who motivate senior leadership teams to reach their full potential. Additionally, he assists boards with CEO succession planning, director recruitment, and identifying future leaders. How to Join a For-profit Board Jason talks about the range of roles on a board and the specific roles a board might be looking to fill. He explains that the specificity of board roles varies based on the scale and maturity of the organization, using a real example of a board search he is currently involved in. Jason discusses how sophisticated boards often have specific requirements for board members, such as industry experience, geographic expertise, and specific skill sets. Identifying and Defining Board Roles When asked about the various categories of board roles, such as finance, data analytics, and HR, Jason explains that the most common request is for recently or actively retired CEOs, followed by CFOs with specific finance experience. He highlights the importance of understanding the nature and type of business the company is in, such as regulated industries, capital-light businesses, or capital-heavy businesses. Board Member Etiquette Jason outlines the main drivers for wanting to be on a board: prestige and the desire to be helpful. He explains the concept of "noses in, fingers out" in governance, emphasizing the importance of board members being helpful but not overly involved. He also discusses the range of compensation for board members, from stipends to significant annual fees, and advises against depending on board compensation as a primary source of income. He stresses the importance of being willing to fire oneself from a board to provide objective advice to the CEO. The Reality of Joining a Board for Management Consultants Jason advises not to limit aspirations and suggests using a simple litmus test: "if the company wouldn't hire you as a top executive, they probably won't consider you for a board role." He explains the importance of nonprofit boards, both fundraising and operating boards, and how they can provide valuable experience and networking opportunities. Jason discusses the potential for board roles in small private companies, large private companies, and public companies, emphasizing the importance of regional connections and unique experiences. The Role of Executive Search Firms in Board Recruitment Jason explains that search firms are often involved in board searches for public or pre-IPO companies and large private equity firms. He advises building relationships with search firms and being responsive and helpful when they reach out for market intelligence or advisory work. Jason also shares the importance of having a network of firms that work in your industry or location and how advisory work can lead to board opportunities. How Boards Vet Prospective Members The conversation turns to the process of being vetted and evaluated for a board role, including interviews, background checks, and social media history. Jason explains that some boards generally recruit with a lighter touch than other roles, but private equity and regulated boards may conduct more thorough diligence. He advises candidates to ask about the board's process, including the last board member hired and the steps involved in the recruitment process. He also emphasizes the importance of meeting all board members and ensuring a good fit in terms of personality and interests. The Commitment Reality of Being on the Board Jason talks about the typical time commitment for board members, including meetings, committee calls, and ad hoc time with the CEO. He explains the importance of understanding the size of board decks and the amount of preparation required for each meeting. Jason also advises candidates to be patient and persistent, as the process of getting on a board can take years and is often unpredictable. Identifying Risks to Board Members When asked about the risks involved in accepting a board position and the importance of D&O insurance, Jason recommends consulting with a D&O insurance broker to understand the market and ensure appropriate coverage. He advises candidates to be aware of any litigation or regulatory risks associated with the board and to seek legal advice if necessary. Jason also emphasizes the importance of understanding the board's D&O policy and ensuring that board members are covered appropriately. Final Thoughts and Advice Jason reiterates the importance of understanding the time commitment and potential disruptions that can arise. He advises candidates to be patient and persistent, as the process of getting on a board can take years. Jason shares a story about a former CISO who became a sought-after board member, illustrating the unpredictability of the process and the importance of perseverance.

This week: 116 days into a ceasefire, Israel has killed at least 481 Palestinians in Gaza. Redevelopment plans for the Gaza Strip were met with skepticism by people there. Palestinians also questioned whether Israel intends to follow through with the next Phase of the US-brokered ceasefire plan in Gaza. Israel has killed more than 71,654 Palestinians in Gaza since October 7th, 2023.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. The Board of Peace launched on Thursday in Davos and is chaired for life by US President Donald Trump. It is beginning its work by addressing the Gaza conflict and at its launch, the US announced plans for a “New Gaza” rebuilt from scratch, to include residential towers, data centers and seaside resorts, part of US President Donald Trump’s push to advance an Israel-Hamas ceasefire shaken by repeated violations. We hear about Jared Kushner's vision for a "New Gaza" and the demilitarization of Gaza. The head of a transitional Palestinian committee backed by the US to temporarily administer Gaza, Ali Shaath, said on Thursday that the Rafah border crossing — effectively the sole route in or out of Gaza for nearly all of the more than 2 million people who live there — would open this week. We learn who will be manning the crossing and how involved the IDF will be. And finally, we discuss the increased involvement of the Palestinian Authority -- albeit in different garb and under changed names. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

First, a look at some of the news as this year starts hard and bizarre: trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi (with military intelligence chiefs to the fore), the Greenland crisis and the perils of Trump's Board of Peace for a Russia that we might consider a 'middle power.' Then, once-in-a-generation blizzards in Kamchatka as a test of state capacity and Putin's engagement.With Kadyrov reportedly seriously ill (really, this time, we think), what prospects for this satrapy? His sons are too young, too raw, and too notorious. The likely pathways run through the Benoi clan: a feared enforcer, a well-connected dealmaker, or a polished general viewed as Moscow's man. Expect bargaining, intrigue and selective violence rather than open war, but even a managed transition could consume attention and security assets at a time when bandwidth is already stretched by the war. The nightmare—a wider North Caucasus flare-up that drags troops from Ukraine—remains unlikely, yet no longer unthinkable.The podcast's corporate partner and sponsor is Conducttr, which provides software for innovative and immersive crisis exercises in hybrid warfare, counter-terrorism, civil affairs and similar situations.You can also follow my blog, In Moscow's Shadows, and become one of the podcast's supporting Patrons and gain question-asking rights and access to exclusive extra materials including the (almost-) weekly Govorit Moskva news briefing right here.

Trump's "Board of Peace," ICE's homicidal rampaging, the gravity of capitalism pushing you into poverty while Musk makes trillions. Yeah, it's imperialism, but it's also home-grown. It's not that what the US exported is coming back, it's what the US is that it's returning to. It's the roots of this poisoned system, founded on genocide and slavery. This was always the trajectory. leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib, the head of Realign For Palestine, an Atlantic Council project that challenges entrenched narratives in the Israel and Palestine discourse. This week, we dive into the 12-member National Committee for the Administration of Gaza. The technocratic council is headed by former Palestinian Authority deputy planning minister Ali Shaath. It is tasked with running daily affairs on the ground and providing services for Gazans in place of the Hamas terror group. The committee held its first meeting in Cairo on Thursday, but is currently barred by Israel from entering the Gaza Strip and its work remains in limbo as the Board of Peace begins its activities in Davos this week. We hear how the names on the technocratic council are relatively consensus figures -- among Gazan Palestinians -- and learn about Israel's objections to this committee and Trump's naming of Qatar and Turkey to the Gaza Executive Board. Alkhatib delves into the lack of popular Hamas support throughout the Strip, but points out the massive enforcement problem that the committee will face as the armed terrorist group maintains its hold. And so this week, we ask Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib, what matters now. What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.

Finally some peace around here.
PRESIDENT TRUMP unveiled the charter of his Board of Peace at the World Economic Forum this week. Does that make him the Antichrist? No. He's too old and too divisive. But the Board of Peace raises interesting questions: Since the charter doesn't mention Gaza, does Trump see the Board of Peace as a potential replacement for the United Nations? With Trump having almost total control over the board, will nations continue to participate after Trump's term as president expires? Is this the peace plan that leads to a global government? Also: Yuval Noah Harari thinks AI will take over religion, Iran's leaders on edge, and the UK goes Muslim. Sharon's niece, Sarah Sachleben, was recently diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer, and the medical bills are piling up. If you are led to help, please go to GilbertHouse.org/hopeforsarah. Follow us!

Peace, Inc. — Brought to You by the Department of WarAs the language of empire shifts, so does its strategy.In this episode of Boiler Room, we examine the emerging contradiction at the heart of the so-called “new world order”: the quiet move toward renaming the U.S. Department of Defense as the Department of War, while simultaneously promoting global “Boards of Peace,” councils, and stability frameworks meant to manage conflict in an age of permanent war.Is this transparency — or rebranding?From peacekeeping to stabilization, from rules-based order to managed decline, we break down how war is no longer hidden, but normalized — and how peace itself is being repackaged as a bureaucratic product, granted conditionally and enforced selectively.This isn't about ending war.It's about standardizing it.Tonight's discussion includes:• The end of “defense” as a euphemism• Peace as governance, not resolution• Boards, councils, and the rise of managerial empire• Pax Americana 2.0 in a multipolar world• Language, power, and the normalization of permanent conflictHost:Bryan McClain (Hesher)Guests:Adam Clark (Ruckus)Mystical PharaohBazed-Lit AnalyzerWebsite: https://alternatecurrentradio.comSupport: https://alternatecurrentradio.com/support/Merch: https://alternate-current-radio.creator-spring.com/
I read an article in a Christian magazine entitled “Three Marketplace Worldviews: The secular marketplace view, the non-biblical compromised Christian view, and the biblical marketplace view.” This article really caught my attention, and I want to share with you some further good information from it. A worldview is simply the way we look at things, the paradigm through which we see our world. A marketplace view is the way you look at your job, career, or business. It's part of your worldview, but it could be very different from other parts of your worldview. Basically, your marketplace view is the way you think about the whole issue of work, careers, and your particular job. The Bible tells us as we think in our hearts, so we are, so your marketplace view has a very strong influence on why you get up and go to work each day, how you perform once you get there, and what you hope to achieve as a result. Let's look at some further differences between these three marketplace views. How does a secular marketplace view understand the moral foundation and guidelines for business? That view says, “The ends justify the means.” A secular view rejects the Bible as truth and considers it irrelevant to business. They would consider anyone with a biblical marketplace view as a bit weird, certainly radical. You'll find a wide variety of behavior among those who hold a secular marketplace view. Many are just out for themselves, using whatever means necessary to achieve their aims. They are into office politics, underhanded deals, deceitful sales pitches, or tweaking numbers—whatever it takes to reach their goals of more money, more success, more promotions. Others, on the other hand, will recognize there is merit in being honest and helpful. People who are not believers in Jesus Christ can still benefit greatly when they choose to live by biblical principles. I know people who would never call themselves Christians, but who also would never be dishonest in their business dealings. I read an article about a man who got a tax refund that was grossly in error. Instead of a small amount, the check was for over two million dollars. Knowing he had no right to the money, even though he had the check in his hands, he returned it because it was the right thing to do. Even a non-believer can operate out of right principles, but they still hold a secular marketplace view and are in the job to get the most they can for themselves. What is the non-biblical compromised Christian view of the moral foundation and guidelines for business? This person thinks, “God is more concerned about our church than my job or my business.” He is not sure the Bible has much to say about how to do business. After all, it was written too long ago. He may think it impossible to live by Christian principles on the job because nobody else does, and it's a dog-eat-dog world. He or she sees his or her work as a separate from life and faith. Why do far-too-many Christians have this compromised view of their jobs—this unbiblical attitude toward work? Because they don't know the Bible well enough. Because they don't spend time truly searching God's word and applying it to their lives. Because they've never heard a message like this, challenging them to have a biblical view of their work. Because they so easily fall into the world's mold and are not willing to pay the price of living for Jesus on their jobs. There are many reasons. We have an enemy of our soul who is going to use every tactic possible to keep Christians from being effective witnesses for Jesus Christ, and this is certainly one weapon he uses. He deceives us into thinking incorrectly—after all, lying is his specialty—and once we think wrongly, we act wrongly. How wonderful it is to find a Christian with a Biblical marketplace view. This person understands God's principles and precepts for business and is committed to doing business God's way. This person truly studies and applies what the Bible teaches regarding business and money. As a disciple of Jesus Christ, a biblical marketplace view causes this person to see her job as part of her mission in this world, even if persecution and suffering may result from doing business God's way. I have a friend whose family owns a successful business, begun by his father and now being passed on to his sons. This business is based on biblical principles, and everyone who works there knows it. There are many employees, and though it is not required for an employee to be a Christian, the owners are not hesitant to make it known that the business belongs to God and is operated to bring him glory. I've been there to give a brief Bible study at lunchtime, and the employees I met love to work there. It's really a testimony to what it means to have a biblical marketplace view. I have a friend who is a very successful attorney, and he has frequently told me operating by biblical principles as an attorney has been a great benefit to him, not a handicap. My brother owned a business and over the years he established a reputation for honesty. Others could rely on his word, and his honesty was known throughout his industry. That's because he ran his business by Christian principles. Another friend and one of our board members has a high-level career as a patent attorney. She sees her job as the place God has put her, and she prays daily about all her encounters with her coworkers, clients, and anyone she interacts with. She not only prays for wisdom and success, but more importantly, she prays that with every interaction, she will show the love of Jesus to others—in the way she conducts her business, in the tone of her voice, in her care and concern for others. She has a biblical perspective of her workplace. Do you see your job as your mission field? A person with a secular marketplace view wouldn't even know what that means. A person with a non-biblical compromised Christian view might be fearful of trying to combine their faith with their business or career. After all, they might get sued for mentioning God in the workplace—right? Or their employees or coworkers might get upset with bringing God into the business. But a biblical marketplace view understands a Christian should be called to their life's work, should know they are doing what God has intended for them to do. Therefore, their business and career are part of their ministry—a big part. Their workplace is their mission field, and they see their financial success as a way to fund kingdom ministries. I served on the Board of Trustees for LeTourneau University in Longview, Texas for about 12 years. This school was begun by Mr. R. G. LeTourneau, who was a very successful inventor and entrepreneur in earth-moving equipment. Mr. R. G. believed God gave him success to help others, and he donated 90% of his earnings to God's work, keeping only 10% for himself. The good he did for the Kingdom of Christ is incalculable. He has left a heritage of good things, including this wonderful university which is training Christians to go into the work world with a biblical marketplace view. You may be thinking that incorporating a biblical marketplace view could be costly. You're right. Jesus told us when we follow him, there can be a price to pay. I know situations where Christians have lost their jobs because they refused to compromise their Christian principles on the job. I have a friend who knows she is treated unfairly in some ways because of her Christian principles; she's not one of the “in-crowd,” so to speak. If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name…So then, those who suffer according to God's will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good (1 Peter 4:14-16, 19). Truly suffering for the name of Christ should be a cause for rejoicing that you are considered worthy. It is a badge of honor, not one of shame. Certainly, suffering is not something we seek or desire, but fear of it should not keep us from living by biblical principles. Let me encourage you to pray about your own perspective of your job. Do you see it as a drudgery or a necessity or maybe as your own road to success as you climb the ladder? Or do you recognize as a follower of Jesus Christ, you report ultimately to him? Therefore, you are working to bring honor and glory to him. When you have a biblical view of your job, it truly makes it so much easier to get up and go to work! It won't always be fun or full of what the world calls success. There are truly hard days, but a biblical perspective will give you great satisfaction and contentment to know you work for Jesus. What you do each day matters to him.
This week on Hold Your Fire!, Richard speaks with Crisis Group experts Richard Gowan, Olga Oliker and Steve Pomper about U.S. President Donald Trump's new Board of Peace and whether the transatlantic crisis over Greenland is over.In this episode of Hold Your Fire!, Richard speaks with Crisis Group experts, Richard Gowan, Olga Oliker and Steve Pomper and Richard Gowan to discuss the transatlantic strains over President Donald Trump's bid to acquire Greenland and his push to expand the mandate of his Board of Peace. He first speaks with Richard to discuss the Board of Peace–originally approved by the UN to oversee Gaza's administration and reconstruction, but now accompanied by a charter suggesting a wider global mandate and a potential challenge to the UN system. They discuss how the board is viewed at the UN and beyond, who is signing up, what it could deliver in Gaza and whether it may accelerate the erosion of traditional multilateral institutions. Richard then speaks with Olga and Steve about what a rupture in the transatlantic alliance would mean for Ukraine and European security more broadly, and how European leaders can manage their volatile relationship with Washington.

Donald Trump announces that he's reached a "concept of a deal" on Greenland, agreeing to drop his tariffs for … well, the details aren't exactly clear. Jon and Dan discuss what we know, Trump's invitation to Vladimir Putin to join his Board of Peace, and the most insane coverage of Trump's trip to Davos. Then, they break down Vice President Vance's appearance in Minneapolis—where he defended ICE's detention of a 5-year-old—House passage of additional funding for the Department of Homeland Security, Jack Smith's Capitol Hill testimony, and a New York Times/Siena poll that's so bad for Trump he's threatening to sue.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, a candidate has every right to challenge election results, as President Trump did in 2020. Any candidate may legally question an election, claim it was stolen, or pursue alternate slates of electors - none of these actions are criminal. Jack Smith's criminal prosecution of Trump was a major assault on the Constitution and the Republic. Also, this Iranian regime needs to be decisively defeated. They have been slaughtering for over a half a century. Iran's Khamenei can be taken out without deploying U.S. ground troops. Later, Phelim McAleer calls in to discuss his new verbatim play – October 7. It is drawn directly from survivor testimonies of Israel's darkest day and is set to be staged at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC on January 28, 2026. Afterward, Mark Meckler, President of Convention of State, calls in to announce that the Kansas State legislature has become the 20th state to pass the Convention of States resolution. Finally, Josh Hammer calls in to express concern over Israel possibly being cut out of the Board of Peace and Gaza reconstruction. The idea of allowing Muslim Brotherhood-linked actors like Qatar and Turkey to influence in Gaza's redevelopment is self-defeating. Learn more about your ad choices.

Trump is taking billion dollar bribes for his ‘Board of Peace,' where he can pretend he'll be the head of a new world order in partnership with Putin. He's also looking for his next foreign policy adventure since he didn't get any mileage with Greenland or Iran. And he's acting like socialist-fascist Juan Perón—taking stakes in U.S. companies while continuing to sic the American gestapo on the twin cities. Meanwhile, a handful of House Dems took a bad vote to fund DHS. Plus, the latest in the annals of unlikeable JD, Gavin's trolling of MAGA has served him well, Trump is no friend to the domestic auto industry, CEOs are so short-sighted, and Kash Patel is a total clown.Mike Murphy joins Tim Miller for the weekend pod.show notes Andrew's reporting on DHS's lies in Minnesota Tim's 'Take' on JD's press conference in Minneapolis More on Mike's polling on the potential CA wealth tax measure "Hacks on Tap" podcast Jonathan Chait on the problems with Newsom's record The NYT on Kash Patel Tim's playlist

Discussion covers the proposed Board of Peace concept and how Trump's unpredictable rhetoric complicates alliance management, leaving partners uncertain whether commitments will hold or dissolve without warning.1810 BRUSSELS
SHOW SCHEDULE 1-22-20251954 BRUSSELSSEGMENT 1: GREENLAND, NATO, AND TRUMP'S REVERSALS Guest: Anatol Lieven, Co-Host: Jim McTague Lieven examines Trump's shifting positions on Greenland and NATO, unsettling European allies who question American reliability. Discussion covers the proposed Board of Peace concept and how Trump's unpredictable rhetoric complicates alliance management, leaving partners uncertain whether commitments will hold or dissolve without warning.SEGMENT 2: GAZA AND TRUMP'S SELF-ENRICHMENT CONCERNS Guest: Anatol Lieven, Co-Host: Jim McTague Lieven analyzes Gaza ceasefire dynamics and raises questions about Trump administration officials potentially mixing policy with personal financial interests. Discussion examines how self-enrichment concerns shadow diplomatic initiatives and whether conflicts of interest undermine credibility in Middle East negotiations and broader foreign policy.SEGMENT 3: GEN Z JOB STRUGGLES AND THE TRADES REVIVAL Guest: Chris Riegel, Co-Host: Jim McTague Riegel explains how artificial intelligence eliminates entry-level white-collar positions, leaving Gen Z struggling to launch careers in traditional professions. Meanwhile, skilled trades offer prosperity since AI cannot replicate physical work. Young people working with their hands find better opportunities than peers pursuing displaced office jobs.SEGMENT 4: MAGA EMBRACES BIG GOVERNMENT LIKE NEW DEALERS Guest: Veronique de Rugy De Rugy argues MAGA policies mirror New Deal-era big government activism through state industrial policy and massive spending programs. Traditional Republican principles of limited government appear obsolete or abandoned, with the RINO label now applied to anyone advocating fiscal restraint or free market economics.SEGMENT 5: PREPARING FOR IRAN BOMBING CAMPAIGN Guest: General Blaine Holt (USAF, Ret.) Holt describes military preparations for potential strikes against Iran, including warplane and warship deployments. The KC-135 tanker buildup signals offensive capability, providing aerial refueling that enables sustained bombing campaigns. This logistics infrastructure converts fuel into striking power against Tehran's nuclear and military installations.SEGMENT 6: ESCALATION TOWARD IRANIAN LEADERSHIP Guest: General Blaine Holt (USAF, Ret.) Holt outlines concentric circles of escalation targeting Iranian leadership if conflict erupts. Discussion covers strike planning that moves progressively toward regime centers of power. China's evacuation planes positioning near Iran suggest Beijing anticipates potential conflict and prepares to extract its nationals from the region.SEGMENT 7: MODI'S TIMID REFORM AGENDA Guest: Sadanand Dhume (Wall Street Journal) Dhume assesses Prime Minister Modi as a timid reformer constrained by political realities and socialist-era institutions. India's growth potential remains unrealized as legacy regulations protect inefficient industries. Modi raised some thresholds but fundamental transformation of labor laws and state enterprises remains politically impossible.SEGMENT 8: VENEZUELA'S UNFINISHED TRANSITION Guest: Mary Anastasia O'Grady (Wall Street Journal) O'Grady reports Venezuela's democratic transition stalled with the same regime intact. Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello and Delcy Rodriguez control state security gunmen and prisons. No real handover to President-elect Edmundo Gonzalez has occurred, leaving the authoritarian apparatus firmly in power despite American pressure.SEGMENT 9: COSTA RICA ELECTION AND PANAMA CANAL TENSIONS Guest: Professor Evan Ellis (US Army War College) Ellis examines Costa Rica's upcoming election amid concerns over giant prison construction projects. Discussion turns to unresolved Panama Canal disputes where Chinese interference continues challenging American interests. Regional dynamics shift as nations balance between Washington's demands and Beijing's economic inducements throughout Central America.SEGMENT 10: PERU AND CHINESE INFLUENCE Guest: Professor Evan Ellis (US Army War College) Ellis analyzes China's growing investment and influence in Peru while the US offers military partnership as counterweight. Discussion covers political turmoil in Lima, economic promise from mineral wealth, and the competition between great powers for access to South American resources and strategic positioning.SEGMENT 11: TRUMP SEEKS CUBAN REGIME CHANGE Guest: Professor Evan Ellis (US Army War College) Ellis examines the Trump administration's push for regime change in Havana. Dictator Díaz-Canel faces collapsing conditions with no oil, no power, and a broken economy driving mass emigration. The Obama administration's engagement offered false hope; now Washington applies maximum pressure on the desperate regime.SEGMENT 12: MERCOSUR AGREEMENT FINALLY REACHED Guest: Professor Evan Ellis (US Army War College) Ellis reports good news as the Mercosur trade agreement concludes after 27 years of negotiations. The deal now faces court challenges while promising affordable food imports for Europe. EU farmers mount roadblock protests opposing competition from South American agriculture despite consumer benefits from the historic accord.SEGMENT 13: AL QAEDA IN DAMASCUS GOVERNMENT Guest: Bill Roggio and Ahmed Sharawi (FDD)Roggio and Sharawi examine Al Qaeda presence within Syria's new government under clever, effective President al-Sharaa. US forces struck an Al Qaeda commander responsible for killing Iowa National Guard soldiers, but ISIS elements remain unaddressed. The jihadi connections within Damascus leadership raise serious counterterrorism concerns.SEGMENT 14: SYRIAN NATIONAL ARMY DRIVES OUT KURDISH ALLIES Guest: Bill Roggio and Ahmed Sharawi (FDD) Roggio and Sharawi report the Syrian National Army increasingly resembles Al Qaeda while attacking Kurdish forces who remain US allies. The Kurds retreat under pressure from Turkish-backed militias with extremist ties. American partners face abandonment as Washington's attention focuses elsewhere in the chaotic Syrian landscape.SEGMENT 15: MUSK, CARLSON, AND VANCE DIVERGE FROM REPUBLICAN ORTHODOXY Guest: Peter Berkowitz Berkowitz discusses Michael Doran's Tablet article examining three Trump celebrities—Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson, and Vice President J.D. Vance—whose views diverge from traditional Republican policies. Musk favors government subsidies and China partnership, Carlson platforms hate speakers, and Vance promotes isolationism over American global leadership.SEGMENT 16: ABANDONING SMALL GOVERNMENT AND FREE TRADE Guest: Peter Berkowitz Berkowitz argues neither Musk, Carlson, nor Vance champions traditional conservative principles of small government, free trade, and private enterprise without government interference. The Republican Party's philosophical foundation erodes as prominent voices embrace statism, protectionism, and industrial policy once associated with the political left.
Patrick Bet-David, Tom Ellsworth, Adam Sosnick, and Vincent Oshana break down Trump's dramatic removal of Mark Carney from the Board of Peace, CNN's on-air chaos over a sex-trafficking accusation against Trump, Jamie Dimon and Ken Griffin's blistering Davos attacks on Biden's economic policies, and Trump's announcement of a historic Greenland framework deal.------

In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan delivers a mix of strong domestic economic news and mounting national security concerns as the country heads into the weekend. He begins with good news at home, as murder rates fall to their lowest level on record, American-born truckers see rising wages after foreign drivers are removed from U.S. highways, and major manufacturers like GM shift production back from China and Mexico to the United States. Economic growth is revised higher, signaling momentum heading into 2026. The mood then turns more serious with warnings about TikTok's unresolved ties to Chinese control, the failure to revive the China Initiative to counter espionage, and growing concern over Chinese ownership of American food brands and farmland. Bryan also covers escalating clashes in Minnesota as Democrats continue to resist ICE enforcement, a judge blocks charges against Don Lemon for his role in an attack on a Christian church, and the White House signals a major shift by authorizing ICE to use administrative warrants to enter homes of illegal aliens. Globally, the episode tracks Trump's push toward regime change in Cuba, the possible withdrawal of U.S. troops from Syria amid ISIS prison breaks, the launch of Trump's new Board of Peace that could sideline the United Nations, and promising medical research showing red light therapy may prevent or reduce traumatic brain injury and CTE.

Today's Headlines: At Davos, Trump hosted the signing of his new “Board of Peace,” a pay-to-play lineup including Belarus, Hungary, Egypt, Qatar, and Kazakhstan, with countries reportedly paying about $1 billion to join. Several European nations declined, warning the board looks like an attempt to sideline the UN. Jared Kushner also floated a vague, zone-based plan for rebuilding Gaza. Back home, Trump filed a $5 billion lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase and CEO Jamie Dimon, claiming he was “debanked” after January 6. JPMorgan says the case has no merit. In other news, former DOJ special counsel Jack Smith testified to Congress, warning of serious threats to democracy and criticizing mass pardons for January 6 defendants. Trump responded by publicly calling for Smith to be prosecuted. In Minnesota, ICE detained a 5-year-old child and his father outside their home, while school officials confirmed multiple students have been taken into custody, some on their way to school. Local police chiefs also say ICE has stopped off-duty officers based solely on skin color. DHS announced the next enforcement push will be in Maine. The New York Times reports the Trump family made at least $1.4 billion in 2025, driven by overseas real estate, crypto, settlements, and foreign gifts. A growing pardon-for-hire industry has wiped out hundreds of millions in restitution owed to victims. A new analysis found Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok generated millions of sexualized deepfake images in just nine days. And finally, a massive winter storm named Fern is expected to hit much of the U.S. this weekend, potentially affecting over 230 million people.

1. Claimed Greenland/Arctic Framework Deal President Trump announced a framework for a future agreement involving Greenland and the broader Arctic region, reached through discussions with NATO leadership and U.S. allies. This is not a military action or invasion, but a diplomatic and security-oriented arrangement still under development. The deal is framed as long‑term (“forever”), contrasting it with past time‑limited international agreements. 2. Focus on Arctic Security and Strategic Competition The core justification presented is national and allied security, particularly limiting Russian and Chinese influence in the Arctic. China’s has a stated interest in Arctic dominance and the deal is preemptive containment. Greenland is described as strategically important due to geography, security positioning, and mineral resources. 3. Denial of Military Intent A central theme is the explicit rejection of military force as a means of acquiring Greenland. Claims of potential invasion were misinformation spread by media and political opponents. Trump is quoted as saying military action would not be necessary. 4. Use of Economic Leverage (Tariffs) Trump used tariff threats against European allies as negotiating leverage. The subsequent removal of tariff threats is evidence that diplomacy succeeded. This approach is intentional pressure rather than economic aggression. 5. Rejection of Media and Democratic Narratives Predicting war or invasion Mischaracterizing Trump’s intentions Ignoring diplomatic outcomes 6. Introduction of a “Board of Peace” Concept Separate from Greenland, the document introduces Trump’s idea to create a “Board of Peace”. This proposed body is an alternative or supplement to the United Nations, which is ineffective. 7. Critique of the United Nations The UN has had historical failures in: Rwanda Syria China’s treatment of Uyghurs Iran’s protest crackdowns Myanmar Sudan Veto power and authoritarian influence render the UN ineffective.
