"They are fundamentally bound at the hip, because the Trump age is a conspiratorial age and a backlash against global wealth inequality... Epstein facilitated the rise of Trump." — Jason PackLate last year, Disorder podcast host Jason Pack came on the show and predicted that Mark Carney would be the "orderer" of 2025 and Jeffrey Epstein would be 2026's "disorderer-in-chief". Pack was uncannily right. Although, as he admits, such prescience gives him no pleasure.Pack is no conspiracist. He thought QAnon was a hoax; he saw the antisemitism baked into its bizarre theories. But he's come to believe there was a genuine cover-up of the Jeffrey Epstein case—not orchestrated by the CIA, but by prosecutors who didn't want to go after powerful people, journalists comfortably ensconced in Epstein's world, and a system where too much wealth has accrued to too narrow a sliver of global elites.What haunts him most is what the emails reveal about how the world actually works. Favors exchanged for favors in a network of infinite back-scratching. Noam Chomsky (!) and Leon Black busy trading intros for access to Epstein's underworld. The emails reveal completely amoral elites, Pack says, nihilists without even the pretense of moral scruples.Trump and Epstein, Pack argues, are bound at the hip—not because Trump is guilty of Epstein's crimes, but because both are products of the same angry backlash against global wealth inequality and the collapse of institutional trust. Trump is, in Pack's memorable phrase, "a legal Epstein"—someone who gets things done through connections, who can appear the most elite Wall Street type to bankers and the most common man to coal miners. The evil genius of doppelgängerism. For Pack, the Epstein files may be a tremor before the big one—AI or crypto could bring the real 1789 style earthquake—but they've already destroyed something of priceless value: the illusion that elites are working on the behalf of the people. Five Takeaways● The Cover-Up Wasn't a Conspiracy—It Was the System: Cases sat on prosecutors' desks in Florida in 2003 and weren't filed. Journalists were tipped off in the early 2000s and didn't run with it. Pack isn't alleging CIA orchestration—just that too much wealth and power had accrued to too narrow a tranche of global elites, and they were able to cow journalists and prosecutors into silence.● Trump and Epstein Are Bound at the Hip: Both are products of the same backlash against global wealth inequality and the collapse of trust since the end of the Cold War. The irony: Trump is himself a member of the elite who benefited from these networks, but his political appeal lies in his promise to dismantle them.● "Order" vs. the Law of the Jungle: The world Epstein built wasn't ordered in any traditional sense—it was the logic of the jungle, based on blackmail and compromat. Russian intelligence running a financial sex trafficking influence scheme at the heart of the Anglo-American establishment. When they needed a service, they got the service.● The Collapse of Social Trust: Pack contrasts our "low-trust" Anglo-American society with Scandinavian models where people still believe institutions work on their behalf. The Epstein files reveal completely amoral elites who believed in nothing—no religion, no moral code—and had no compunction about harming young women or stealing pensioners' money.● A Tremor Before the Big One: Epstein won't bring down neoliberal capitalism. But AI making five families wealthier than the rest of the world combined could. Or crypto going to zero and 300,000 people realizing their life savings are gone. The true significance of the Epstein files is that they've stripped away the illusion that the system works on our behalf.

Prime Minister Mark Carney got a third floor crosser from the Conservatives, putting the Liberal seat count at 169 out of the 172 needed for a majority government-- exactly where it was on election day. But here's the kicker-- three byelections need to be called in seats the Liberals won just one year ago. Meaning Carney is on the verge of securing Canada's first majority in a decade. And just a month after Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre received a 87% approval rating from his party, what sorts of conversations does his caucus need to have with one less member? Host Maria Kestane speaks to Mickey Djuric, a journalist who covers Parliament Hill for POLITICO, to discuss what Mark Carney might do with a majority, and the potential for future floor crossers - and a federal election.

Some New Yorkers are praising Mayor Mamdani for his efforts in cleaning up the streets following the Blizzard of 2026, but there are still areas of the city expressing dissatisfaction. Tonight is the State of the Union address, and Democrats argue this is a pivotal moment for President Trump, given his low approval ratings. There is speculation about whether Democrats will stage a walkout during the speech. Mark interviews Business News Editor at Breitbart, John Carney. John discusses how the Trump administration always intended to keep tariffs in place, even after the Supreme Court overturned them, and outlines what to expect next. Democrats say they oppose tariffs, but they support corporate taxes - Carney notes the similarity between the two. He also references his article listing products that are now priced lower than before. Yesterday, Mexico extradited 100 cartel leaders to the United States, where they will stand trial. Meanwhile, NYPD officers were struck by snowballs while responding to incidents in Washington Square Park. Authorities promise consequences for those who injured the officers. Mark interviews streaming host Bill O'Reilly. Bill predicts Democrats will not walk out of the State of the Union Address, believing it would hurt their party's reputation heading into the midterms. He argues it's all about money for the Democrats, and key absences tonight could cost them financially behind the scenes. Bill and Mark also debate whether Gavin Newsom's recent comments were racist against Black Americans: Mark thinks Sunday's incident will hurt Newsom, while Bill disagrees.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Een Europese oorlog met Rusland, het einde van de oude wereldorde en de onthullingen rond de Epstein-files. In deze Holland Gold Maandupdate spreekt Yael Potjer met Sander Boon over de meest opvallende geopolitieke ontwikkelingen en machtsverschuivingen. Ze bespreken onder meer de NAVO, de strategie van Donald Trump, de speech van Mark Carney op het World Economic Forum, de ideeën van Ursula von der Leyen en de toekomst van de Europese Unie.Ook komt de toespraak van Marco Rubio aan bod, waarin de Verenigde Staten volgens Sander de hand uitsteken naar Europa voor een alliantie op basis van gedeelde waarden. Tegelijkertijd plaatst hij vraagtekens bij de koers van Ursula von der Leyen, die volgens hem mogelijk andere plannen heeft voor de toekomst van Europa. Volgens hem woedt er een fundamentele strijd over de waarden van het Westen.Daarnaast bespreken Yael en Sander de vraag of Europa daadwerkelijk afstevent op een oorlog met Rusland, nu de oorlogsretoriek toeneemt en er steeds nadrukkelijker wordt ingezet op de opbouw van de Europese oorlogsindustrie. Is de kans op verdere escalatie met Rusland reëel?Tot slot bespreken zij de belangrijkste lessen uit de Epstein-files en de mogelijke consequenties van deze openbaringen.

"I wake up at 3 AM, check my phone to see what fresh hell has come out, and it's usually two words: 'Trump threatens.'" — Peter BaleWe're reversing the lens today. Rather than examining America from the inside, we're peering at it from the outside in—from New Zealand, at the bottom of the world. Peter Bale is a longtime media executive who's had senior positions at CNN, Reuters, and News Corp. He's now back in his native New Zealand, waking up at 3 AM to check his phone. The news, he says, is usually two words: "Trump threatens."Much of our conversation centers on the former NZ Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. She led New Zealand's COVID response, Anthony Fauci style, with daily press conferences and a scientific mastery of the facts. An estimated 20,000 lives were saved. But she also became the target of profound misogyny and physical threats that no New Zealand Prime Minister had ever experienced. She now lives in Boston—teaching at Harvard's Shorenstein Center—because she can't safely live in her own country.Bale describes a dark MAGA-style underbelly in New Zealand that surprised him when he returned after 50 years abroad. Christian nationalists, anti-Maori sentiment, "Christchurch skinheads." US platforms—especially X—have given permission to speak in ways that would have been unacceptable. When the President uses that rhetoric, Bale notes, the permission for personal calumny is quadrupled.We also discuss the Epstein files (the media failed to connect the dots), Will Lewis's destruction of the Washington Post ("utterly reprehensible"), and whether America is finished. Bale's answer: "I don't think America is ever done. Every time people perceive it to be done, it has a political or economic renewal." The question is who comes after Trump—Vance or somebody even more threatening—and who will keep waking Peter Bale at 3 AM. Five Takeaways● The View from 18,000 Miles Is Punch-Drunk: Bale wakes at 3 AM to check his phone. The news is usually two words: "Trump threatens." Small countries like New Zealand depend on the international rule of law. When that breaks down, they feel it acutely.● Jacinda Ardern Became New Zealand's Fauci: She led the COVID response with daily press conferences and saved an estimated 20,000 lives. But she became the target of profound misogyny and physical threats. She now lives in Boston because she can't safely live in New Zealand.● "They Are Us" Was the Right Three Words: After an Australian livestreamed himself killing 51 Muslims in Christchurch, Ardern flew there immediately, wore a head covering, and said of the victims: "They are us." It hung in the air as exactly what needed to be said.● Trumpism Has Gone International: New Zealand has its own dark underbelly—Christian nationalists, anti-Maori sentiment, "Christchurch skinheads." US platforms have given permission to speak in ways that would have been unacceptable. When the President uses that rhetoric, the permission is quadrupled.● America Is Never Done: Every time people perceive it to be finished, it has a political or economic renewal. Its ability to rebuild itself constantly is astounding. The question is who comes after Trump—Vance or somebody worse. About the GuestPeter Bale is a longtime media executive based in New Zealand. He has held senior positions at CNN, Reuters, News Corp, and the Center for Public Integrity. He ran WikiTribune and has been a close observer of both American and international media for decades.ReferencesPeople mentioned:● Jacinda Ardern was Prime Minister of New Zealand during COVID. She now teaches at Harvard's Shorenstein Center because she can't safely live in her own country.● Mark Carney has articulated what Bale calls the "Carney doctrine"—medium-sized countries standing up to US unilateralism.● Will Lewis presided over cuts at the Washington Post that Bale calls "utterly reprehensible," including eliminating international bureaus and the books section.● Michael Wolff has spent three years trying to interest mainstream media in Trump-Epstein connections.

A third Conservative crosses the floor. Tory Leader Pierre Poilievre runs damage control after one of his MPs goes off script on the trade war with U.S. President Donald Trump. And Ottawa wins a “psychological victory” after the U.S. Supreme Court strikes down Trump's emergency tariffs. Chris Selley and Lorne Gunter join Brian to discuss how, with all these developments and more, Prime Minister Mark Carney's mojo seems to just get better every day. Meanwhile, Conservatives can't seem to catch a break. With a snap election still extremely possible, and the NDP seeming only weaker and unlikelier to compete for Liberal votes, they discuss why Poilievre is facing a dangerous situation for his party, and his leadership.

The federal government announces a new -- and ambitious -- defence strategy that prioritizes Canadian-made military equipment -- and promises up to 125,000 new jobs.A U.S. radio host claims that a Google AI tool that creates uncannily real-sounding podcasts copied his voice without permission -- so he's taking the company to court. We remember the late civil rights activist, Jesse Jackson -- whose activism and presidential run fundamentally changed American politics. Determined divers found a Lake Michigan shipwreck after 150 years -- then sat on the news until they could fully document it. One diver tells us keeping the secret was a struggle.

Matt Jeneroux is now a Liberal. The ex-Conservative MP switched sides in a surprise move that puts the Carney government closer to a majority. Jeneroux said last year he was quitting politics to spend more time with family. He's now a special adviser on economic and security partnerships. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre called Jeneroux's flip a betrayal to his Edmonton Riverbend voters.Also: Canadian military veterans are furious over a proposed federal bill that would retroactively change the way their benefits are calculated. The government's measure would effectively kill lawsuits alleging it has been underpaying and overcharging vets for decades, saving the federal government millions of dollars. Ottawa argues it can retroactively change laws at any time.And: How measles may put a damper on your upcoming March Break plans.Plus: Addressing Canada's labour gaps, Norway's Olympic golden boy, Bobsledders ‘drag' their hockey counterparts, and more.
The Globe exclusively reported that Prime Minister Mark Carney and Ontario Premier Doug Ford discussed the possibility of a snap federal election this spring. The next federal election is scheduled for no later than 2029, though historically, minority governments usually last around two years. But just how realistic is this speculation of another election?Laura Stone, who broke the story, and Shannon Proudfoot, a feature writer and columnist based in Ottawa, join host Sherrill Sutherland for a political roundtable about whether Canadians will head to the polls this spring.Questions?

Matthew pokes at the contradictions behind Prime Minister Mark Carney's polished Davos attempt to distance Canada from U.S. chaos, while Canadian companies continue profiting from the U.S. domestic terror regime. Drawing on reporting by Rachel Gilmore, Matthew looks at how Canada's “middle power” liberalism masks deep complicity with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement through arms, surveillance tech, and security contracts. Carney's benevolent affect continues the tradition of obscuring a longer history of exclusionary border politics. He's there to manage outrage without challenging the capitalist structures that escalate into authoritarian violence.

Larry Kudlow and John Carney examine the unexpected decline in consumer prices, challenging the conventional wisdom that inflation only slows down rather than reverses. Carney highlights a detailed analysis of 71 specific goods and services that saw price drops in January 2026, noting significant year-over-year decreases in essential categories like eggs, fuel, and electronics. Beyond these statistics, the discussion serves as a rebuttal to critics of trade tariffs, specifically targeting a New York Fed study that claims domestic consumers bear the brunt of import taxes. Carney argues that these economic models are fundamentally flawed because they misinterpret internal bookkeeping between multinational subsidiaries as actual price increases for the public.
