They also dive into Connor Bedard's game as he has just one goal in his last eight games since returning from a shoulder injury, and what the Blackhawks can do to get him going again. The guys discuss Bedard skating with Frank Nazar and Teuvo Teravainen (who's tracking toward a return) and whether his recent play could impact Team Canada's decision if they need an Olympic injury replacement. Pat and Charlie also take an early look at Chicago's trade deadline approach, plus Nick Lardis being assigned back to the AHL's Rockford IceHogs.

Last week, all eyes were on Davos as President Trump unfurled his deranged desire to buy or take Greenland from Denmark—just weeks after the United States kidnapped Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro and Trump asserted the so-called "Donroe Doctrine." To help us understand what the Trump administration is doing in the Western hemisphere, we talked to the Progressive International's David Adler and Matt Kirkagaard, who take us from the Monroe Doctrine to what Trump had done both in his first term and in the first year of his second term in Venezuela and other Latin American countries before abducting Maduro. We then try to grasp what the Trump administration is up to with Greenland, all the while trying to offer a better explanation of the forces shaping Trump's foreign policy than the elusive search for a coherent theory of "Trumpism."  Sources:Patrick Iber, "The Trump Doctrine," Dissent, Jan 5, 2026Alexandra Stevenson, "Trump Is Making a Power Play in Latin America. China Is Already There," New York Times, Jan 9, 2026David Adler, Vanessa Romero Rocha, Michael Galant, "The Fourth Transformation: The political economy of Claudia Sheinbaum's popularity," Phenomenal World, Apr 3, 2025. ...and don't forget to subscribe to Know Your Enemy on Patreon for access to all of our bonus episodes!

Monday Hour 3: More Conference Championship talk, Lucas' Notebook & Connor's Power Play

The offseason might be "quiet," but Formula 1 clearly didn't get the memo. We're officially halfway through the break and there's already plenty to unpack — fresh livery launches hitting the grid, the Barcelona shakedown looming large, and early clues about who's sandbagging… and who absolutely isn't. We break down what teams are really looking for in Barcelona, why these early runs matter more than fans think, and what signals to watch before testing even begins. Plus: Lewis Hamilton gets a new race engineer at Ferrari — what does that mean for his adaptation and Ferrari's 2026 mindset? Livery season is here — who nailed it, who missed, and who's already playing the hype game. And the big question everyone's whispering about… is Christian Horner actually making a return, or is this just peak paddock chaos? We're back, we're fired up, and the road to lights out in 2026 has officially begun.

The people of Iran are in the midst of one of the country's biggest uprisings — and harshest government crackdowns — since the Iranian Revolution. It started with shopkeepers in bazaars closing their doors at the end of December in protest of the plummeting Iranian rial and economic distress. But demonstrations soon spread to universities and across the country to every single province. Working-class Iranians wanted relief — both from the inflation crisis and U.S sanctions.This week on The Intercept Briefing, host Akela Lacy speaks with Hooman Majd, an Iranian American writer and journalist, who explains what sparked the protests and the government's brutal response. “I don't think in the history of Iran, even during the Islamic Revolution, have we seen this number of fatalities.” says Majd. “The death toll is staggering. Really, because that death toll is staggering, what's happened is there are no more protests. And that's where we are right now. No more protest, heavy security on the streets. Massive security on the streets, on every corner. It isn't martial law. But it feels like martial law to people living there.”The path forward is unclear, Majd says. But a few things are certain. “The idea is no to shah, no to an ayatollah, no to theocracy. Let's just, finally, after 120 years of demonstrating — which is what the Iranians have been doing since 1906 — after 120 years of looking for democracy, can we just do that? Can we just get a democracy? That is probably the biggest sentiment in Iran: wanting a democratic rule, wanting the repression to end, wanting better relations with the rest of the world so these sanctions can be lifted.”Some people inside and outside Iran have called on President Donald Trump to intervene. The idea that the U.S. should — or could — impose regime change militarily is folly, Majd says. “Sure, we were able to impose a regime change in Iraq militarily. They can do that again in Iran, possibly with the help of Israel or even without the help of Israel. But then what do you have? Do you have another basically authoritarian, autocratic government?'” Meanwhile, Trump has threatened to intervene in another international arena. He has set his sights on taking over Greenland. Despite walking back his statements pledging to do so by force, Trump has now said he's forming a plan with the secretary general of NATO for Greenland's future. We're joined by independent investigative journalist Lois Parshley, who explains the financial interests behind Trump's obsession with the Arctic island, the billionaires and tech moguls plotting to exploit Greenland's natural resources, and how the people of Greenland have responded to the president's pledge to violate their sovereignty.Shortly before Trump first expressed an interest in Greenland during his first term, his ambassador to Denmark and Greenland visited a major rare earth mining project on the island, Parshley reported last year. “More recently, The Guardian reported that it was Ronald Lauder, heir to the global cosmetics brand [Estée Lauder] who was also a longtime friend of Trump's, who first suggested buying Greenland. He has acquired commercial holdings there and is also part of a consortium who want to access Ukrainian minerals.”Fresh off the invasion of Venezuela, the idea that Trump wants to take over Greenland is even more alarming, Parshley says. “I'm not the first person to report on these kinds of major tech interests in things like crypto states or special economic zones. People have been pointing this stuff out for a long time, but it's not until President Trump started saying the quiet part out loud that people have really been registering some of these absurd concepts that seem to now be creeping toward reality.”Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

In this extended, context-driven episode of What's New With ME, Ali Mehdaoui breaks down the biggest national stories shaping America right now — with clarity, empathy, and a sharp edge of satire.We begin with the Uvalde school officer verdict, where a Texas jury acquitted a former officer tied to the Robb Elementary shooting. What does justice look like when the law closes a case but communities remain broken?Next, we unpack the escalating redistricting battle between Republicans and Democrats, where political power isn't being fought for at the ballot box — but behind closed doors with maps, judges, and legal maneuvering that could decide control of Congress before voters ever cast a ballot.The focus then shifts to Vice President JD Vance's visit to Minneapolis, following a deadly ICE operation and rising protests. Is this about law enforcement, immigration policy, political signaling — or all three colliding at once?We also cover Jack Smith's high-profile testimony before Congress, as the former special counsel who investigated President Donald Trump now finds himself under the microscope. Is this accountability, retaliation, or narrative warfare in Washington?Then, the spotlight turns to Bill and Hillary Clinton being held in contempt of Congress in connection with the Epstein investigation. What does contempt really mean, and why does this moment matter — even if prosecutions never follow?Finally, we address the massive winter storm threatening more than 200 million Americans, breaking down what people need to know, how to prepare, and why New Jersey residents in particular should take this storm seriously.This episode goes beyond headlines — examining power, accountability, systems under stress, and the human cost behind the news, all delivered in the unmistakable What's New With ME style: informed, unfiltered, and grounded in reality.

The hosts also explore escalating war rhetoric, including continued developments tied to Ukraine and broader global conflict narratives, alongside border issues and the Biden administration's positioning. Throughout the episode, CannCon and Ashe connect dots between institutional behavior, information control, and the growing tension between official narratives and public skepticism. As always, the discussion cuts through surface-level headlines to challenge assumptions and question motives, offering listeners a clear-eyed look at how these stories intersect and why they matter now.

In Episode 133 of Breaking History, hosts Matt Ehret and Ghost examine the growing instability within the global system as exposed through events surrounding the World Economic Forum in Davos. The conversation centers on President Trump's disruptive approach to geopolitics, his messaging at Davos, and how global elites are reacting to what appears to be a rapidly shifting power structure. Matt and Ghost explore narrative chaos among technocratic leaders, the collapse of the so-called rules-based international order, and the resurgence of overt power politics. The episode also digs into Greenland, Venezuela, Iran, and the broader implications of sovereignty versus global governance. Throughout the discussion, the hosts connect historical precedent, financial instability, and moral authority, questioning whether the emerging system will be rooted in natural law or simply a rebranded form of empire. This episode offers a deep, wide-ranging analysis of the forces reshaping the world stage in real time.
