President Trump orders the withdrawal of hundreds of federal agents involved in the contentious immigration crackdown in Minnesota. In an interview with NBC, he says that "maybe we could use a little bit of a softer touch" but insists the enforcement effort will remain "tough".

Is James Rodríguez really headed to Minnesota United? In one of the strangest transfer rumors we've ever seen, the Cooligans unpack how a global superstar could end up in MLS, what it would mean for Minnesota, and whether James still has enough left to move the needle in the league — or if this is destined to be pure chaos.Next, we revisit the USMNT hype machine and ask some uncomfortable questions. Gio Reyna, Yunus Musah, Gianluca Busio, Jordan Morris — all players who once felt like sure things. So what happened? We break down why their trajectories have stalled, what went wrong at club level, and whether there's still time for a second act.Finally, we react to the wildest stories from around world soccer. From Vinícius Jr.'s girlfriend revealing uncomfortable details involving Real Madrid, to Gabriel Barbosa's tense encounter with fans, to Cristiano Ronaldo's “missing” posters popping up in Saudi Arabia — it's another reminder that no sport delivers chaos quite like football. Timestamps:(6:30) – James Rodriguez's shock transfer to Minnesota United(21:30) - USMNT rising stars that have now faded(49:30) – Vini Jr's girlfriend's weird ointment story(53:30) – Reacting to other news around the soccer world Subscribe to The Cooligans on your favorite podcast app:

Join us in Israel! https://israelguys.link/zion-ops-86ew5b3kf Go deeper with the Truth About Palestine book: https://israelguys.link/book-86ewc1xn0 Join The Land of Israel Fellowship: https://thelandofisrael.com/membership-tiers/ Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has once again announced elections—this time for the Palestinian National Council—declaring 2026 "the year of Palestinian democracy," despite his being in the 21st year of a four-year term. While Abbas says the vote will include Arabs from Gaza, Judea and Samaria, and those living abroad, skepticism remains high. Past election promises have never materialized, and recent polls show Hamas support surging in Judea and Samaria while Fatah continues to lose ground. Meanwhile, the U.S. approved more than $16 billion in arms sales to Israel and Saudi Arabia. At the same time, antisemitism explodes closer to home—from a disturbing incident aboard an American Airlines flight to the exponential rise of antisemitic hate in the first month of Mamdani's term as mayor in New York City.

IsraelCast host Steven Shalowitz speaks with Jonathan Schanzer, executive director of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, about what FDD calls the "axis of aggressors" — China, Russia, and Iran — and how Iran's internal turmoil could reshape the Middle East. Schanzer describes Iran's long-running protest cycle, severe economic collapse, and the regime's vulnerability after major Israeli and U.S. strikes, then outlines three possible U.S. paths: renewed diplomacy, degrading Iran's military capabilities, or pursuing full regime decapitation. They discuss whether Iran's military will fire on its own people, and the regime's reliance on proxy forces. Schanzer explains Iran's global networks, including links through Venezuela and Hezbollah's illicit finance routes, and argues Iran's "axis of resistance" is unusually weakened. The conversation also covers shifting regional power dynamics, Saudi Arabia and the Abraham Accords (including Indonesia), concerns about Egypt and Jordan, and confusion over President Trump's "Board of Peace." They close on the value of history, anti-Semitism's recurring patterns, and Schanzer's book on Gaza as a warning sign.

Conventional wisdom seems to be that regime change in Iran would benefit the world, especially Israel. But is that totally true? How exactly does that change the calculus for Saudi Arabia - Israel relations?    On the Israel front we covered some renewed fighting in Gaza, new arms sales, and teacher shortages leading to a surprising solution.

1. Entertainment as National Security American film and television are portrayed as a strategic asset that shapes global perceptions of freedom, democracy, and U.S. values. Weakening U.S. media companies allow authoritarian nations, particularly China, to fill the cultural vacuum with propaganda. 2. China as the Primary Adversary China is repeatedly the main threat due to: State control over media Global investment in influence campaigns Censorship of American films (e.g., Top Gun: Maverick being blocked over a Taiwan patch). TikTok is an example of why foreign ownership of media platforms is viewed as dangerous. 3. Merger Framed as Pro‑American Jobs The entertainment industry is supporting hundreds of thousands of middle‑class American jobs across multiple states. Netflix’s $1 billion New Jersey studio investment is used as evidence that large, stable companies create domestic employment. The argument asserts that scale = stability, and stability prevents layoffs. 4. Pro‑Consolidation Argument Unlike traditional antitrust concerns, the author claims this merger: Does not reduce competition Actually protects U.S. production from outsourcing Helps resist foreign-backed acquisitions Consolidation is defensive, not monopolistic. 5. Opposition to Foreign Capital in Media Strong concern is raised over foreign government money (Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Qatar) potentially entering U.S. media. Such investments are not neutral and are intended to influence narratives and public opinion. 6. Historical Framing Ronald Reagan is cited: Culture and storytelling were weapons in the Cold War Media independence is essential to freedom The merger is consistent with Reagan-era American leadership principles. 7.

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.

Bill Burr has been running his mouth again. From Saudi Arabia to Elon Musk to Tim Dillon, he's got opinions, and he's saying them loudly. The 5-year-old kid that was not kidnapped by ICE is back in the news. Apparently, if you're a child, the Constitution is cancelled. The Great Replacement is getting a Spanish upgrade. Far-left Spanish politician, Irene Montero, says the quiet part out loud. Really loud.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: First up—new reporting sheds light on Xi Jinping's sweeping purge of China's military leadership, exposing deep corruption inside the People's Liberation Army and raising serious questions about whether some of Beijing's most critical weapons systems were ever fully operational. Later in the show—some rare good news out of Venezuela, as the interim government under Delcy Rodriguez announces a sweeping amnesty plan for political prisoners, reaching back to detentions from the Chávez era. Plus, new reporting reveals Saudi Arabia is privately urging President Trump to follow through on his warnings to Iran, arguing that restraint could leave Tehran stronger and more emboldened. And in today's Back of the Brief—the United States is now in the midst of a partial government shutdown, with signs it may last longer than initially expected.

Tensions between United States' allies Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates seem to be ratcheting up with the central problem being Yemen. The two countries are supporting different factions in Yemen with the Saudis backing the recognized government, and the UAE supporting the separatist Southern Transitional Council (STC). It is coming at a time that complicates U.S. goals in the the region, and fractures a unified front against shared enemies like Iran and their proxies. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Mark Dubowitz, CEO of the Foundation of the Defense of Democracies, who says the Trump Administration has to get more involved between the two countries before a major conflict breaks out.

Listen to the article with analysis from the author:  The US is positioning its most advanced missile interceptors in the Middle East to prepare for a major war with Iran.  According to the Wall Street Journal, the US is moving THAAD and Patriot interceptors into the Middle East. The air defenses will be sent to bases where US troops are stationed in Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. The White House views the advanced missile defense systems as necessary if President Donald Trump wants to launch a large-scale attack on Iran.  Trump has ordered a significant military buildup in the Middle East, including an aircraft carrier strike group and fighter jets. Many of the warships carry additional interceptors, and fighter jets can shoot down Iranian drones.  The deployments have put thousands of additional American troops within range of Iranian weapons. There are over 5,000 sailors on the aircraft carrier, 300-350 soldiers on each of the eight destroyers in the region, and 100 troops for each THAAD system.  Trump is reportedly considering a range of options for creating regime change in Iran, including an oil blockade and strikes targeting high-level officials in Tehran. According to the WSJ, the President wants a “decisive attack” on Iran.  Drop Stie News reports speaking with US officials who said the White House informed its Arab allies that a war with Iran could begin at any time. Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir said on Sunday he does not believe a US attack is imminent, but will happen within two months.  Zamir's remarks followed a meeting with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine in the Pentagon on Friday.  Trump renewed the threat to attack Iran on Sunday. He told reporters, “We have the biggest and strongest ships there, very close. They'll be ready within days. I hope we make a deal. If we don't make a deal, we'll find out.” Trump has threatened to attack Iran over its nuclear and missile programs. Additional he said he may strike Iran for cracking down on demonstrators.  However, a large-scale attack on the Islamic Republic will likely lead to Iran launching retaliatory strikes on US bases in the region and Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Trump against attacking Iran earlier this month because Israel was unprepared for the fallout.  Former CIA officer and torture program whistleblower John Kiriakou said he spoke with multiple, well-paced, Arab princes who explained that Israel was urging Trump to exercise caution in dealing with Iran as Tel Aviv was still in the process of replenishing its stockpile of missile interceptors.  Israel used a significant portion of its Iron Dome and Arrow interceptors during its war with Iran in June. Tel Aviv relied heavily on American interceptors to supplement its missile defenses.

It is a packed sports and pop culture run as the Brooklyn Nets hit the road, the New York Rangers, New Jersey Devils, and New York Islanders all take the ice, and New York Knicks host the Los Angeles Lakers at MSG in what might be the hottest ticket in years. Then the conversation veers into WWE madness with the Royal Rumble airing at a very strange Saturday afternoon time from Saudi Arabia. Viewing habits get debated, streaming platforms get questioned, and bold predictions are made, including a surprise pick involving Braun Breaker, plus talk of Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, Liv Morgan, and Sami Zayn. And just when things cannot get any more unhinged, the weekly fan favorite returns as “Idiots With Idioms” delivers an all time long, chaotic recap of verbal slip ups across the station. Sports, wrestling, nostalgia, and total nonsense all wrapped into one very busy segment.

We'll open today's show still lamenting the fact there's tons of snow and ice all over the ground making it difficult for us to get out of our neighborhoods (3:00). After that, we'll get into the news of the day and start with the Grizzlies game tonight against the Pelicans and Ty Jerome being upgraded from OUT to Doubtful. Will we see Ty Jerome on Saturday night or Monday night at FedExForum? Are the Grizzlies showcasing Ty Jerome for a week in order to trade him? + Devin has a list of NBA players who have been traded the most (6:37). Chris replays an old clip of Tony Allen and Devin slandering Cooper Flagg before the season started saying he's Andrei Kirilenko at best...and then makes Devin apologize after Cooper Flagg went off for almost 50 last night in a loss to the Hornets. That gets us in a conversation about Flagg, Kon Knueppel, the rookie class coming in next year and why draft capital might in 2026 might be the best thing for the Grizzlies (18:35) and then we'll pivot to Dillon Brooks' 40 point night and how he's improved in the last couple of years, the Suns win over the Pistons and if the Pistons need to add another scorer to take pressure off of Cade Cunningham (29:25).Penny's Tigers picked up a win over FAU last night. Are they starting to show signs of life after that win? Did it tell us anything? (44:10)We'll go into the NFL news of the day with the Falcons hiring a new GM, the Vikings firing their GM and if Sam Darnold making the Super Bowl this year had anything to do with the Vikings making this decision + a standout at the Senior Bowl in Mobile in WR Tyren Montgomery. Wait till you hear this story (51:10) WWE Royal Rumble is Saturday afternoon in Saudi Arabia.

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.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Democrats and the media create violent, riotous situations through their rhetoric and positions, leading to deaths for which they take no responsibility, instead they blame others like President Trump while ignoring organizers behind the unrest.  This strategy is how they aim to win elections and the presidency, as they cannot win on the issues. There are organized far-left networks in Minnesota coordinating via encrypted chats, alerts, and databases to interfere with ICE operations, mobilizing agitators to obstruct arrests of criminal illegal immigrants, making enforcement extremely difficult amid non-cooperation from local/state officials and lack of media coverage. Also, tens of thousands of people slaughtered in Iran in a few weeks, and the slaughter goes on day after day, because they want to be free, and the world takes no action against a regime that is weaker than it has ever been. What have we become Meanwhile, over the past couple of weeks, the Saudis have attacked the UAE as infidels and Zionist stooges.  At the same time, the Saudis have announced ties with Pakistan. They opposed the Israelis dealing with Yemen and the UAE supporting opposition to the Iranian-backed Houthis. They opposed Israel aligning with Somaliland. And they have built strong ties with Qatar and Turkey. They have lobbied us against attacking Iran -- joining with Qatar and Turkey. They've also made their conditions for joining the Abraham Accords so absurd as to make their membership impossible. Saudi Arabia has learned much from their previously hated enemy, but new friend, the Qatar terror regime. Later, Gordon Chang calls in to discuss significant but opaque developments in Communist China, particularly the reported arrest and investigation of General Zhang Youxia, the top uniformed military officer, along with another senior general. Amid conflicting rumors—including claims of a coup, gunfire involving Xi Jinping's bodyguards, and Zhang's possible release—little is definitively known due to the regime's secrecy.
