SHOW SCHEDULE2-2-20261719 ROME1.Bill Roggio of the Long War Journal and Husain Haqqani discuss imminent potential US air strikes on Iran, expressing skepticism that air power alone can achieve regime change or lasting results without ground forces or sustained commitment.2.Bill Roggio and Husain Haqqani analyze Russia's offer to mediate between the US and Iran, concluding Moscow is not a credible partner and aims to distract Washington while protecting its strategic interests in Tehran.3.Alejandro Peña Esclusa reports that Cuban personnel are fleeing Venezuela as oil payments cease, signaling a crisis for Havana following Maduro's detention and the collapse of the socialist alliance that sustained both regimes.4.Alejandro Peña Esclusa explains that while Europeans criticize Maduro's capture, Venezuelans support it, hoping for the release of remaining political prisoners under a new amnesty law restoring democratic governance.5.James Holmes of the Naval War College and Gordon Chang discuss Alfred Thayer Mahan's nineteenth-century view of Hawaii as strategic opportunity, drawing parallels to modern Chinese expansionism and current interest in Greenland.6.James Holmes and Gordon Chang argue Greenland is vital for Arctic defense and mineral access, suggesting the USseeks military bases there to deny access to Russia and China in polar competition.7.Fraser Howie and Gordon Chang assert Xi Jinping's goal of making the renminbi a global reserve currency is impossible without lifting capital controls and accepting trade deficits that Beijing refuses to tolerate.8.Conrad Black criticizes the Prime Minister for labeling Canada a middle power, urging increased defense spending to secure the Northwest Passage and Arctic sovereignty against encroaching rivals.9.Edmund Fitton Brown and Bill Roggio warn that US-Iran talks ignore the mass killings of protesters, while characterizing Maliki's potential return in Iraq as a hostile act against Western interests and regional stability.10.Edmund Fitton Brown and Bill Roggio argue Saudi Arabia's refusal to allow airspace use for strikes on Iran is theatrical to avoid Iranian retaliation, noting Riyadh privately remains a dependable US partner.11.David Daoud and Bill Roggio explain Hezbollah is downplaying Gaza ties to avoid dragging Lebanon into war, prioritizing the rehabilitation of its image among the economically weary Shiite population in Lebanon.12.David Daoud and Bill Roggio note Hezbollah is refilling ranks after Israeli strikes, suggesting new leader Naim Qassem's quiet demeanor may help the group lay low and regenerate its capabilities.13.John Hardie and Bill Roggio report Russia is recruiting gamers and specialists for a new military branch, the Unmanned Systems Forces, aiming for 210,000 troops by 2030 to expand drone warfare capabilities.14.John Hardie and Bill Roggio state negotiations are deadlocked as Russia demands territory and a veto on security guarantees, while Putin ultimately seeks domination over Ukraine's geopolitical orientation and sovereignty.15.Joe Truzman and Bill Roggio describe the war as a slow boil, noting Phase 2 of the Gaza ceasefire is stalling because Hamas refuses to disarm or surrender heavy weapons to Israel.16.Ahmad Sharawi and Bill Roggio report a fragile deal where the SDF integrates into the Syrian state to avoid destruction, though tensions remain regarding Turkey and the fate of ISIS prisoners in the northeast.
Host Sarah Posner examines Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's escalating campaign to remake the Pentagon in the image of a militant, hyper-masculine Christian nationalism—from dismantling small-business contracting as “DEI,” to purging diversity programs, hosting monthly Christian prayer meetings inside the Pentagon, and framing U.S. military power as divinely sanctioned. As Trump rattles the global order with threats against NATO allies and Greenland, Posner traces how Hegseth's theology and politics blur the lines among biblical law, domestic authority, and international norms—raising urgent questions about religion, war, and state power. Posner is joined by Dr. Julie Ingersoll, professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Florida and author of Building God's Kingdom, for a deep dive into the radical Christian Reconstructionist movement shaping Hegseth's worldview. They unpack the influence of Doug Wilson and the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches, including beliefs about biblical law, patriarchy, Christian dominion, and a “God of war” theology that legitimizes violence and conquest. The conversation explores how once-fringe theocratic ideas have quietly moved into the corridors of power—and what it means when U.S. military leaders see themselves as carrying out God's will, at home and abroad. Julie Ingersoll is Professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, where she teaches and writes about religion in American culture, with a particular focus on religion and politics and the religious right. Originally from Maine, she earned a Ph.D. in Religious Studies from the University of California, Santa Barbara, along with degrees in history from George Washington University and political science from Rutgers College. She began studying religion as an undergraduate because of her interest in politics, which she saw as deeply intertwined with religious life—an understanding that only deepened as her studies continued.

On Trump & radical right ideology. Jean-François Drolet, a leading researcher into the 'World of the Right', talks to Alex and Lee about Donald Trump's coveting of Greenland, and puts the move into its ideological context. What is the paleoconservative worldview, how is it different from the neoconservative one, and which is more influential in the Trump regime? How does paleoconservatism translate into actual foreign policy? What's in Trump's new National Security Strategy? Are we back to a 19th century-style 'spheres of influence' arrangement? Does the radical right's foreign policy lead back to a populist kind of isolationism – or to a 'civilisational nationalism'? Will Trump solidify the transatlantic alliance, or generate a rift?

This solo episode opens with a few recent travel stories. Then I share highlights from my favorite Scott Adams book: How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big. He shares ideas on stacking skill sets, systems over goals, using failure as feedback, and why usefulnenss, consistency, and energy management matter, are the most important contributors to success. It's a practical look at building a life that works: mindset, habits, and the kind of thinking that will hold up when life gets messy.I also share an update in the best movie ever. Namely, law enforcement controversies, Minnesota unrest, Greenland's strategic importance, how I talk about politics with kids, the FBI seizure of Fulton County election materials, and much more.

Eric and Eliot discuss Trump's latest reversals on Greenland before pivoting to the recently released National Defense Strategy. They dissect the many flaws of the NDS, including North Korean–style adoration for the President, a lack of explanation for how its stated goals would be achieved, and the total omission of Taiwan. The two also speculate about how Xi Jinping's recent purge of General Zhang Youxia could impact the Indo-Pacific in the near future, before closing with an assessment of whether Trump is on the cusp of military action against Iran.Eric on the National Defense Strategy:https://thedispatch.com/article/trump-national-defense-strategy-europe-china-homeland/Eliot on the National Defense Strategy:https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/01/unserious-national-defense-strategy/685784/Shield of the Republic is a Bulwark podcast co-sponsored by the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia.
On January 3, 2026, the United States invaded Venezuela and kidnapped president Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. It was the first U.S. invasion of a Latin American country since the 1989 invasion of Panama. The United States fired missiles and bombs that blew out windows and hit residential apartment blocks. Helicopters. Explosions. Firebombs. They cut electricity. They destroyed a medical supplies warehouse. Testimonies say helicopters fired on innocent people. They traumatized thousands, if not, millions of Venezuelans.The aftermath for everyday Venezuelans has been completely ignored. The voices of those on the ground — the voices of the victims — have been largely silenced in the international press and then forgotten as the news cycle hurtles on and our attention shifts elsewhere — to Greenland, Minneapolis, Iran, Gaza, or whatever Trump happens to be blustering about on social media.So today, we're heading to Caracas to speak to people who experienced the invasion first hand, whether sheltered in place in their homes or running for their lives in the streets of their city. We'll hear their stories of Trump's “impressive” attack, their messages for the U.S., and how they've promised to resist the ongoing attack on their sovereignty.Under the Shadow is an investigative narrative podcast series that walks back in time, telling the story of the past by visiting momentous places in the present. Season 2 responds in real time to the Trump administration's onslaught on Latin America.This podcast is produced in partnership between The Real News Network and NACLA.Theme music by Michael Fox's band, Monte Perdido. Monte Perdido's 2024 album Ofrenda is available on Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music, YouTube or wherever you listen to music. Other music from Blue Dot Sessions. All of the ambient sound of the invasion in this episode was taken from cell phone videos filmed and posted on social media or shared over WhatsApp on January 3rd, during the pre-dawn U.S. invasion.Script editing by Heather Gies.Hosted, written, produced, mixed and edited by Latin America-based journalist Michael Fox.Translator and freelance journalist Coromoto Jaraba Pineda helped with reporting for this episode.

Emily Sullivan is a writer, a photographer, and a director whose work is grounded in questions of land, community, and responsibility. Throughout her work, she focuses on uplifting Indigenous perspectives — not by speaking for communities, but by listening to what people are already saying and doing. Her first film, Shaped by Land, is currently screening at festivals. It's a documentary about Greenlandic skiers and their connection to place, set against the backdrop of the new Greenland Tourism Act — legislation designed to protect land, center local ownership, and resist extractive tourism. Emily's interest in Greenland is shaped by her experience in Alaska, where many of the same tensions play out under different economic structures. In both places, people arrive seeking experience, adventure, and meaning, often without reckoning with what those desires take from the communities they move through. Emily's path to this work started when she was just a kid. She's always been an observant person, someone who noticed small shifts in light and weather — that's where her photographic eye comes from — and that sense of awe never really left. It grew out of curiosity, and later, into a belief that anything capable of stopping you in your tracks is probably worth paying attention to. And then, through her work and time spent in Alaska, climate change became personal and immediate — visible in rivers that don't freeze when they should, unstable ice, unfamiliar weather patterns, and disrupted fish runs. Much of her education in climate change came from Alaska Native peoples, specifically women who have been leading this work for generations. That learning shaped Emily's commitment to bringing Indigenous knowledge, solutions, and sovereignty to the forefront of her storytelling — using careful observation and conversation to explore the forces shaping our collective future.
Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff joins NewsNation Now with Connell McShane and Republican leader Tiffany Smiley for a fiery, no-notes live TV showdown—and this all-new episode brings you the full, unfiltered audio. They clash over Trump's dramatic move in Venezuela, regime change talk in Cuba, and what Paul calls a “vision board” foreign policy that now stretches from Venezuela to Cuba to even Greenland. At stake are core American values, the role of Congress, the risks of regime change wars, and whether our military and allies are being overextended in ways most Americans—and especially independents and veterans—do not want. From there, the debate shifts to ICE, immigration, and recent shootings in Minnesota, as Paul raises alarms about secretive, aggressive enforcement tactics and the blowback they are creating among Republicans, Second Amendment advocates, and independent voters. Tiffany counters that voters will ultimately judge Trump on their pocketbooks, pointing to tax cuts, rising wages, and a strong stock market as proof that his economic agenda will win out as people “start to feel it.” Paul pushes back that Trump's approval is collapsing with independents, and that Americans care not only about their wallets, but also about feeling safer and more respected in the world. Connell steps back and lets the sparks fly as the two battle over who really represents the rising independent majority. It's fast, unscripted, and raw, capturing the real fight over foreign policy, immigration, the economy, and the future of independent political power in America. If you're sick of canned talking points and partisan echo chambers, this is the front-row seat you've been waiting for. Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

What if a scripted TV raid on Venezuela turned into real-life headlines? In this eye-opening episode, Glenn sits down with investigative journalist and author Annie Jacobsen to unpack the shocking U.S. operation that captured Maduro — drawing direct parallels to her advisory work on the show “Jack Ryan,” where she pushed for “an authentic kill-or-capture mission inside Venezuela.” Glenn shares his take on Trump's unorthodox strategy, noting, “I felt like he took one stone and knocked out 200 birds,” with ripple effects impacting China, Russia, and beyond. Delving into advanced weaponry, Annie explains how Havana syndrome technology has “existed since the '50s,” while Glenn warns of the rapid advancement of AI and drone warfare. The duo discusses Trump's nuclear fears, the limits of presidential power and intelligence agencies, Greenland, and the feasibility of the “Golden Dome” — before agreeing that, as we witness this rapidly accelerating arms race that could redefine global conflict, we must work together to prevent World War III.

When it comes to Greenland, Trump's arguments about international trade, geostrategic locations, rare earths, etc., were all ignored by European leaders. In response, Trump threatened additional tariffs on many European countries. When markets opened last week, things turned red. Those suffering from Trump derangement syndrome couldn't help themselves and immediately drew the conclusion that the stock market drop was the result of Trump's harsh negotiating tactics with Greenland.And they were wrong. To find out why the markets tanked, you need to travel halfway around the world to a country that is “basically running ahead of the U.S. in terms of the life cycle of a debt crisis,” argues Heritage Foundation chief economist E.J. Antoni in today's special video commentary.

For the second time in as many weeks, Donald Trump has backed away from an unpopular policy. Last week, it was Greenland. This week, the ICE operation in Minneapolis. Join moderator Jeffrey Goldberg, Susan Glasser of The New Yorker, Stephen Hayes of The Dispatch, Zolan Kanno-Youngs of The New York Times and Toluse Olorunnipa of The Atlantic to discuss this and more.
Could European Nato members use their large holdings of US shares and bonds to put pressure on America? It's a question that some in Europe found themselves asking as the geopolitical crisis over Greenland escalated and leaders desperately tried to think of ways to dissuade Donald Trump. It is true that trillions of dollars of American financial assets are held in Europe. But the devil, as ever, is in the detail. Tim Harford talks to Toby Nangle, a journalist with the Financial Times, to drill down into the numbers.Presenter: Tim Harford Producer: Nathan Gower Series Producer: Tom Colls Editor: Richard Vadon Programme Coordinator: Brenda Brown Sound Engineer: James Beard
In this week's Underground, Michael explains why so many conservative influencers agree that the ICE tactics are the problem. Joe Rogan compared the tactics to those of the Gestapo, and Bill O'Reilly said that if Trump doesn't find a way to lower the temperature he's going to "lose the country." This is not a Republican vs Democrat issue, Michael argues. There is a whole lot more going on here than mere immigration enforcement. What is happening in Minnesota right now could negatively impact the entire world. Why so much outrage, where's the Catholic Church, and what's the connection between Minneapolis, Gaza, Greenland and Davos?

In this weekend's episode, three segments from this past week's Washington Journal. First: A conversation with Jillian Snider – a former law enforcement officer and senior fellow at the R Street Institute. We talk about ICE operations in Minneapolis – and best practices for law enforcement in the wake of another fatal shooting there. Then: Amid the fallout in Minnesota, President Trump tried to pivot back to the economy and efforts on affordability. We dig into the numbers with Natalie Baker of the Center for American Progress and Brittany Madni from the Economic Policy Innovation Center. Finally: President Trump may have backed off his threat to takeover Greenland – but relations are still frayed between the U-S and Europe. That conversation with Andrew Roth of The Guardian -- and Stefanie Bolzen of the German News channel VELT. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
In this episode of John Solomon Reports, we welcome Wisconsin Congressman Tom Tiffany, who shares his insights on the recent fiscal developments in Washington, D.C. After nearly six years, all 12 appropriations bills have been passed, marking a significant step towards fiscal responsibility. Congressman Tiffany discusses the implications of this achievement and how it might signal a long-term trend towards better financial management in the federal budget.We also delve into the controversial actions of Special Counsel Jack Smith, examining his history and approach to prosecuting cases, particularly those involving former President Trump. Congressman Tiffany highlights Smith's past controversies, including his connections to the IRS during the Obama administration and his track record in high-profile cases that have raised questions about his integrity as a prosecutor.As the discussion unfolds, we explore the ongoing investigations into the events surrounding January 6th, with Tiffany emphasizing the need for transparency and accountability in the justice system. He raises concerns about the use of anti-Trump informants by the FBI and draws parallels to past issues surrounding the Russia collusion narrative, underscoring the importance of exposing the depth of corruption in Washington.Shifting gears, Congressman Tiffany shares his vision for Wisconsin as he campaigns for governor. He outlines his plans to combat high taxes, excessive regulations, and a failing education system, aiming to ensure that Wisconsin remains a beacon of prosperity rather than following the path of its neighbor, Minnesota. Tiffany emphasizes the need for a 'red tape reset' and a focus on traditional energy sources to revitalize the state's economy.Next, we hear from Brent Sadler from the Heritage Foundation. Sadler discusses the historical context of U.S. interests in Greenland, emphasizing its critical role in missile defense and the changing geopolitical landscape, particularly in light of increased Chinese presence on the island. The conversation shifts to the contrasting approaches of Western leaders at the Davos Summit, highlighting the ideological divide between President Trump's strength-based diplomacy and the appeasement strategies of other nations.We also explore the ramifications of Canadian Prime Minister Carney's recent actions regarding international relations, particularly his overtures towards China, and the potential consequences for Canadian security interests. Sadler reflects on the likelihood of a shift in Canadian policy under pressure from domestic and international realities.As tensions rise with Iran, Sadler analyzes the message sent by the U.S. military's strategic positioning and the importance of supporting the Iranian people amid ongoing protests against their regime. The discussion includes the potential for U.S. military action and the necessity of building a coalition to address the threats posed by Iran.Finally, we turn our attention to the escalating situation in Iran amidst ongoing protests and a government crackdown. Dr. Ali Safavi, a member of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, joins us to provide critical insights into the current state of unrest and the resilience of the Iranian people. He discusses the implications of the recent protests, emphasizing that while the regime's brutality may have momentarily slowed the uprising, the momentum for change remains strong and irreversible.Dr. Safavi details the fierce clashes occurring between rebellious youth and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), highlighting the courage and determination of the Iranian people as they confront oppressive forces. He draws parallels to historical protests, asserting that the will of the Iranian people will ultimately prevail against the regime's attempts to suppress dissent.We explore the role of the United States in this pivotal moment, with Dr. Safavi outlining potential strategies for the U.S. to support the Iranian resistance. He argues for a clear statement recognizing the rights of the Iranian people to overthrow their regime and the necessity of cutting off the regime's lifelines, particularly its oil revenues. The conversation also delves into the importance of holding Iranian leaders accountable for their actions and the need for international support of the Iranian people's struggle for freedom.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In this episode, I spoke with @megbasham about how lifestyle influencers shape political opinion on Instagram, why she says the 2020 playbook is returning, and why she is urging Christians to speak up instead of appeasing.
Air Date 1/29/2026 Today we examine the collapse of the American-led, rules-based world order (such as it was) in real time. Canada's Prime Minister pointed out that the emperor has no clothes and declared US hegemony over while Europe called Trump's bluff on Greenland... all the more reason why he would prefer a fake "Board of Peace" that he can rule over as a worldwide plutocracy.

A look ahead at the astrological forecast for February 2026, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock. We spend the first hour talking about the astrology surrounding news stories that happened in January, many of which coincided with a rare triple conjunction of Venus, Mars, and the Sun, as well as the Mars-Pluto conjunction that happened later in the month. Then in the second hour we do a deep dive into the astrology of February. The astrology of February is extremely busy and momentous, and includes Uranus making its final direct station in Taurus, eclipse season beginning with a solar eclipse in Aquarius, Saturn entering Aries and then immediately completing a conjunction with Neptune, Mars squaring Uranus, and Mercury going retrograde in Pisces.

On the Record with Christian Briggs – Who wins the coming tariff war—Europe, Latin America, or the U.S.? Are fears of inflation—or even hyperinflation by 2026—legitimate warnings or elite-driven panic? It's a roadmap to what comes next in the global power struggle—and a wake-up call for anyone still mistaking Trump's moves for impulsive noise. The next move is already in motion. Don't blink...
As Donald J. Trump damaged decades-long international relationships in Davos, Switzerland at the World Economic Forum, Fox News lauded him as a champion of American strength on the global stage.Trump managed to insult all the former Allied powers in World War II multiple times then also disgraced the sacrifice of hundreds of fallen non-U.S. NATO soldiers who died in Afghanistan after the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.Trump and his entourage were cartoonishly stereotypical of boorish Americans. His long rambling speech at the event was full of lies and exaggerations that centered on his accomplishments that were based in delusion more than reality.When Trump wasn't insulting our close long-term allies, he was demanding that Denmark hand over Greenland as if it was part of a real estate deal.The network went all in on Trump's reckless demands to conquer or purchase the Danish territory even though the U.S. has had a broad sweeping treaty with Denmark that allows the U.S. military to build un-limited bases on the mostly ice-covered island.Fox also dedicated much of its airtime to the then escalating anti-ICE protests erupting across the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. The network presented the demonstrations as an assault on beleaguered federal law enforcement. This is a public episode.

Remember when Trump wasn't president yet? What do Stranger Things, Pokemon GO, and Rihanna's ANTI have in common? Why is ICE at the Olympics? What did Neil Young give to Greenland? Why does this new spider have a 9th leg? Also, what is a ‘largesse'?
In this episode of John Solomon Reports, we focus on a pivotal hearing addressing veterans' job opportunities in the emerging technology sector, particularly in artificial intelligence. Congressman Abe Hamadeh from Arizona, a veteran himself, joins us to discuss his groundbreaking legislation, the Improving Emerging Tech Opportunities for Veterans Act. This initiative aims to connect highly skilled veterans with high-tech jobs, especially as Arizona positions itself as a hub for semiconductor manufacturing and AI innovation.Congressman Hamadeh emphasizes the importance of leveraging the unique skills and discipline of veterans to fill workforce gaps in the tech industry, particularly as foreign investments flood into the U.S. He highlights partnerships with companies like TSMC that are committed to veteran outreach and hiring. This legislation represents a significant step toward ensuring that American veterans are not only honored but also gainfully employed in the rapidly evolving tech landscape.We also delve into the recent developments surrounding President Trump's negotiations regarding Greenland and NATO. The Congressman shares insights on the strategic importance of Greenland for U.S. military operations and how these discussions could bolster national security while countering adversarial influences in the Arctic. With a focus on protecting Western civilization, Hamade reflects on the potential benefits of these agreements for both the U.S. and its allies.Next, we dive deep into President Trump's recent signing of the Charter for the Board of Peace at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Joining us is Claire Lopez, a former CIA operations officer and national security expert, who provides valuable insights on the implications of this new charter for global order and U.S. strategy in the Arctic. Lopez discusses the enhanced U.S. control over strategic sites in Greenland and the significance of these developments in countering the assertive actions of China and Russia in the region.We also explore the broader geopolitical landscape, including the situation in Venezuela. Lopez highlights how the country has become a focal point for adversaries such as Iran and China, and how Trump's foreign policy aims to assert U.S. primacy in the Western Hemisphere. She addresses the ongoing challenges posed by the Maduro regime and the presence of foreign influence in Venezuela, emphasizing the need for a robust U.S. response.Finally, Tina Desovich, co-founder of Moms for Liberty, shares the importance of instilling true American history in our children. Tina emphasizes the importance of parents educating their children about the nation's founding principles and the real stories behind key historical figures. She warns about the potential pitfalls of historical interpretation in museums and educational settings, urging parents to engage directly with original documents to ensure their children grasp the true essence of American history.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The crisis over President Trump's threats to annex Greenland appears to be over for now. But the second- and third-order consequences continue to unfold as NATO allies try to manage their relationship with the United States. In this episode, Lawfare Senior Editor Molly Roberts, Lawfare Public Service Fellow Ariane Tabatabai, and Egmont Institute Visiting Fellow John Drennan give an overview of the crisis and discuss its implications for the United States and NATO, as well as talk though how U.S. adversaries like Russia and China see the family feud.For more on these topics, see:“Western Europeans Are Hedging on a Post-U.S. NATO,” by Lucas Robinson, Lawfare (June 24,2025)“Russia and China in the Gray Zone,” by Ariane Tabatabai, Lawfare (November 14, 2025)“America Needs a New Nuclear Nonproliferation Toolkit,” by Ariane Tabatabai, Lawfare (January 21, 2026)To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

President Trump takes his economic message to Iowa, trying to refocus on affordability after weeks of distractions ranging from Greenland to Venezuela and fallout from federal shootings in Minnesota.Nearly a year after a deadly midair collision near Washington, D.C., investigators say deep, systemic failures at the FAA allowed known risks to go unaddressed until it was too late.And NPR has obtained documents showing the Trump administration quietly loosened nuclear safety and environmental rules to fast-track new reactors, raising concerns about oversight and public trust.Want more analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun?

Tommy and Ben explain why Trump backed off his threat to take Greenland by force and debate whether European leaders have finally found a playbook for how to push back, the backlash to Trump's disgraceful denigration of NATO troops and their service in Afghanistan, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's bold attempt to break from the United States and forge a new international order. Then they cover the purge of top military leaders in China and widespread rumors of a coup attempt against Chinese President Xi Jinping, Jared Kushner's much-derided PowerPoint presentation on the future of Gaza, new details about how the Iranian regime crushed the recent protests and why there may now be an even greater likelihood that the US bombs Iran (again), a humiliating and terrifying profile of Kash Patel's first year at the FBI, and why a real estate forum in Saudi Arabia made us want to cry. Then Tommy speaks with Kenneth Rosen, author of Polar War: Submarines, Spies, and the Struggle for Power in a Melting Arctic, about why the Arctic is becoming a geopolitical flashpoint.
