During a divided time in America, our love of sports and fitness cross party lines and can keep us healthy as individuals and bring us together as a nation. The United States of Sweat is a new series from Choose the Hard Way that features the world's leading political leaders and policy makers sharing stories about what they do to stay healthy, fit and physically active. When we decided to launch the United States of Sweat, we knew the first guest we wanted to land was an endurance athlete of a different kind, Ambassador Jeff Flake. Ambassador Flake recently served as U.S. Ambassador to Türkiye and previously represented Arizona in both the U.S. Senate and House. He's taught at Harvard, Stanford, and Yale, and now leads the Institute of Politics at Arizona State. In 2025, he was knighted by Sweden for his role in securing their NATO accession. He's also the author of the New York Times bestseller Conscience of a Conservative: A Rejection of Destructive Politics and a Return to Principle. In his spare time, Ambassador Flake likes to maroon himself on deserted islands and survive with little more than a spear and a machete. Ambassador Flake and his wife, Cheryl, are the parents of five grown children. We first crossed paths in 2018 when then Senators Flake and Chris Coons sent a letter to Strava about our global heat map and data privacy when I was running global communications. That led to a trip to the hill and one of the most thrilling and fulfilling experiences of my professional career that I'll save for another podcast. My co-host on the United States of Sweat is Jonathan Kaplan. You may know Jonathan as the author of the popular Riding With newsletter and for his legendary performance at the January 2025 Beyond the Peloton x Choose the Hard Way training camp. But wait, there's more. Jonathan Kaplan is a former political journalist, congressional aide, State Department official, and most recently, comms strategist for the world's largest human rights funder. He now runs Essington Road Strategies, helping organizations navigate Washington, shape policy, and manage reputational risk. He also writes Riding With, a newsletter and podcast exploring the intersection of pro cycling, media, business, and politics. Find that at ridingwithkaplan.substack.com. For senior execs, pro athletes, and political leaders, podcasts aren't optional anymore—they're mission-critical. At One Real Voice, I coach leaders 1:1 to help them show up as humans and stand out in the long-form podcast conversations where real influence is built.

Join Jim and Greg for Thursday's 3 Martini Lunch as they react to the House narrowly passing President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, shocking anti-Semitic murders in Washington, a humiliating naval blunder for North Korea, and Delaware Sen. Chris Coons still trying to defend Joe Biden's re-election bid.First, after noting the House passage of the administration's top legislative priority and two Republicans inexplicably missing the vote, they recoil at the horrifying murders of two Israeli embassy employees in Washington. The alleged shooter reportedly shouted “Free Free Palestine” while being arrested. Jim highlights the ongoing danger posed to Jewish Americans and anyone who associates with them as unabashed anti-Semitism rages on college campuses and beyond.Next, they lighten things up with reports of a North Korean warship getting severely damaged during a launch ceremony attended by Kim Jong-Un. The failed launch is a major embarrassment for the regime. But while public humiliation for Kim is welcome news, Jim and Greg note the grim likelihood that those blamed for the incident will face brutal punishment.Finally, they get a kick out of Delaware Sen. Chris Coons, one of Biden's closest allies, dodging questions about his post-debate remarks insisting Biden could still serve another term. Coons now says he doesn't want to "relitigate" the past but focus on the future.Please visit our great sponsors:It's free, online, and easy to start—no strings attached.

C'est la question que se pose la presse nord-américaine après que Donald Trump a suspendu, pour un mois, son projet d'imposition de droits de douane au Canada et au Mexique. « Qu'est-ce que Donald Trump cherche à obtenir du Canada et du Mexique ? », s'interroge The New York Times. Selon le journal, le président américain a toujours assumé son intention « d'utiliser les tarifs douaniers comme un levier économique contre les pays qui refusent de céder à ses exigences ». Pourtant, il reste flou sur la nature exacte de ces exigences — une stratégie qui lui permet de revendiquer une victoire à tout moment.Donald Trump affirme vouloir stopper les flux migratoires à la frontière et limiter l'exportation de Fentanyl. Mais, comme le souligne The New York Times, « il n'a fixé que des critères vagues pour mesurer la coopération de ces deux pays ». Difficile, donc, d'évaluer l'impact réel des concessions obtenues : côté canadien, la création d'une force spéciale conjointe contre le crime organisé et le blanchiment d'argent ; côté mexicain, le déploiement de 10 000 membres de la Garde nationale pour renforcer le contrôle aux frontières. Le démantèlement de l'agence de développement USAIDSon site officiel reste fermé. Officiellement, le secrétaire d'État Marco Rubio a pris la direction de l'agence, mais son avenir demeure incertain. Dans les colonnes du Washington Post, le sénateur démocrate Chris Coons plaide pour son maintien : « Notre aide internationale nous permet de nous faire des alliés, de renforcer notre leadership et de neutraliser les menaces à distance. Les programmes de l'agence jouent un rôle clé dans la lutte contre les pandémies et le terrorisme. » Et il conclut : « USAID n'est pas une agence parfaite. Si l'administration Trump souhaite discuter de réformes, je suis prêt à en parler. Mais ce qu'elle fait actuellement n'est pas une réforme, c'est une destruction. Et ce sont les Américains qui en paieront le prix. » Le Salvador propose d'accueillir des prisonniers détenus aux États-UnisC'est à la une de La Prensa Gráfica. Le président salvadorien Nayib Bukele a annoncé hier (3 février 2025) qu'il accepterait l'expulsion vers son pays de migrants en situation irrégulière ayant commis des crimes graves aux États-Unis. Il a également proposé d'accueillir dans ses prisons des criminels américains actuellement incarcérés aux États-Unis.Mais El Faro s'interroge : le Salvador a-t-il les capacités d'absorber un afflux massif de détenus ? Nayib Bukele assure que chaque prisonnier accueilli fera l'objet d'une compensation financière versée par Washington, ce qui garantirait la viabilité du système carcéral salvadorien.Sur ce point, CNN rappelle que le département d'État américain met en garde les voyageurs contre les conditions de détention difficiles au Salvador, où les prisonniers n'auraient pas toujours accès à une procédure régulière.La grande question est de savoir si le Salvador est prêt à recevoir un flux plus important d'expulsions, non seulement de Salvadoriens sans papiers détenus sur le territoire américain, mais aussi de demandeurs d'asile. En 2024, les États-Unis étaient le pays qui comptait le plus grand nombre de demandes d'asile au monde, selon les données des Nations unies, avec plus de 3,1 millions de demandeurs d'asile. Parmi eux, 115 460 demandes émanaient de Salvadoriens, ce qui place les États-Unis au quatrième rang des pays d'Amérique centrale en termes de nombre de demandeurs d'asile, après le Nicaragua, le Honduras et le Guatemala.Trois spécialistes consultés par El Faro doutent de la capacité du pays à accueillir davantage de personnes. Les plus pessimistes affirment qu'il n'y a pas de conditions sociales ou économiques pour absorber plus de personnes, entre autres parce que la pauvreté a augmenté de 22,8 % en 2019 à 27,2 % en 2023, selon l'enquête sur les ménages et les usages multiples. Cela signifie que 21,1 % de la population ne dispose pas d'un revenu suffisant pour acheter un panier alimentaire de base élargi.Bukele a ensuite confirmé l'accord avec Rubio sur X, en déclarant dans un message : « Nous sommes prêts à n'accueillir que des criminels condamnés (y compris des citoyens américains condamnés) dans notre méga-prison (CECOT) en échange d'une redevance ».Le Centre de Confinement du Terrorisme du Salvador, communément appelé CECOT, est la plus grande et la plus récente des prisons du pays, avec une capacité maximale de 40 000 détenus.« La redevance serait relativement faible pour les États-Unis, mais importante pour nous, ce qui rendrait l'ensemble de notre système pénitentiaire viable », a-t-il ajouté.M. Bukele a été crédité d'avoir considérablement réduit la violence des gangs dans ce pays d'Amérique centrale depuis le lancement d'une vaste campagne de répression en 2022, qui a vu l'incarcération de plus de 81 000 personnes. Mais si le taux de criminalité du pays a baissé, le traitement des personnes emprisonnées a suscité l'indignation des organisations de défense des droits de l'homme, qui qualifient les prisons salvadoriennes d'inhumaines.Les conseils aux voyageurs du département d'État pour le Salvador avertissent également que les personnes emprisonnées dans le pays sont soumises à des conditions de détention « difficiles » et n'ont pas accès à une procédure régulière. Washington ignore Haïti, mais la crise s'invite à Santo DomingoLe secrétaire d'État américain entame une visite en République dominicaine sans escale prévue en Haïti, une décision qui suscite des réactions vives, nous apprend Gotson Pierre, le directeur d'Alterpresse, lors de notre interview hebdomadaire. Pour certains observateurs, cette absence traduit une volonté de privilégier la sécurité dominicaine face au chaos haïtien. Le secrétaire d'État Marco Rubio, notamment, s'inquiète des risques de débordement de la crise haïtienne vers le territoire voisin. Pendant ce temps, les discussions entre Washington et Santo Domingo pourraient inclure Haïti sans les Haïtiens, ce qui alimente les inquiétudes, dit-il.La situation demeure critique en Haïti, où la capitale a encore tourné au ralenti, paralysée par la peur. Des rumeurs d'attaques circulant sur les réseaux sociaux ont entraîné la fermeture de plusieurs écoles et une réduction des transports publics. À Delmas, au nord-est de Port-au-Prince, des barricades enflammées ont perturbé la circulation. Les violences persistantes ont contraint près de 1 700 personnes à fuir leurs foyers dans certaines zones particulièrement touchées, comme Cité Soleil.Hier encore, les gangs ont attaqué la commune de Kenscoff, à l'est de la capitale, malgré la présence des forces de l'ordre. Des maisons, des véhicules et des motos ont été incendiés, tandis que policiers et militaires tentaient de repousser les assaillants. Selon des témoins, le bilan humain s'alourdit, avec plusieurs dizaines de morts et de nombreux otages. Entre insécurité grandissante et absence de réponse internationale concrète, Haïti semble de plus en plus abandonnée à son sort, constate Gotson Pierre. Au Pérou, les étudiants se mobilisent pour la biodiversitéLe Pérou est l'un des pays les plus riches au monde en biodiversité : 1 800 espèces d'oiseaux, 4 000 de papillons et plus d'une centaine de reptiles différents. Pourtant, la préservation de ces animaux et des écosystèmes exceptionnels du pays n'est pas une priorité pour les dirigeants. L'économie souterraine menace cette richesse, au point que des étudiants en droit ont décidé de se mobiliser juridiquement pour protéger l'environnement. C'est un reportage de Martin Chabal. Journal de la 1èreLa campagne sucrière démarre dans quelques jours.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.politix.fmThis week, Matt and Brian take stock of Matt Gaetz, Pete Hegseth, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and Tulsi Gabbard—Trump's Fanatic Four nominees to head the Departments of Justice, Defense, Health and Human Services, and the national intelligence directorate. They discuss:* Why Hegseth's personal mediocrity (C-list Fox News host) and depraved sexual conduct (pretty awful), combined with the complexity of running an organization as vast as DOD, might make him the worst of the four picks. * But also why they're all really bad and it's hard to say who's the worst!* How career civil servants should respond (or not) when confronted with corrupt or abusive orders.Then, behind the paywall, a longer discussion of why Trump has picked scandal-plagued individuals for these roles, and how Democrats in Congress can and should exploit their liabilities. Why are prominent Democrats like Cory Booker, Chris Coons, and Jared Polis setting the tone by kissing up to RFK Jr? Does Hakeem Jeffries really believe that Trump's potential cabinet officials are distractions, not worth commenting on? Is the best we can “hope” for that these people shamble their way into crises that leave the administration discredited?All that, plus the full Politix archive are available to paid subscribers—just upgrade your subscription and pipe full episodes directly to your favorite podcast app via your own private feed. Further reading:* Brian responds to Jeffries: Cabinet secretaries are #actually kind of a big deal? * Matt thinks Trump's best bet for success is to not elevate fanatics and crooks, and just chill.* So does Brian, FWIW.
