January 11, 2026; 7am: Several cities across the United States saw major protests following the killing of Minnesota mom Renee Good. The Trump administration continues to double down on its argument that the ICE officer acted in self-defense. The Department of Homeland Security released a 3-minute video showing the moments leading up to the incident to back their claim. Minnesota officials reject that narrative.

Ian Bremmer unpacks the fallout from the Trump administration's dramatic operation in Caracas that captured Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro and brought him to the US to face federal charges. The raid was a stark demonstration of American power, and few are mourning the fall of a leader whose rule helped collapse Venezuela and drive millions to flee. But even with Maduro gone, the hard questions start immediately: who governs now, how long does the US stay involved, and how quickly could “stability” turn into something far messier?First, Bremmer speaks with Democratic Senator Ruben Gallego, who says the operation may have been “limited” in scope, but the political and strategic risks are only beginning. Gallego argues that the White House is improvising and that Congress is watching closely for signs of escalation. “There really isn't a plan,” he warns. “They're kind of just playing this as it goes, which is very scary that they're doing that.” He lays out what a more sustainable path could look like, including releasing political prisoners, setting a timeline for elections, and pursuing economic steps that reduce the chances of renewed conflict.Then Bremmer is joined by Stanford political scientist Frank Fukuyama, who cautions against viewing Maduro's capture as a clean “one and done” victory. The regime, he argues, is bigger than any single leader, and the US may be stepping into a long, unpredictable project whether it admits it or not. “Let's not kid ourselves,” Fukuyama says. “This is a nation building exercise.” From the risk of economic collapse and refugee flows to the precedent set by a US foreign policy driven by raw leverage, Fukuyama and Bremmer explore what happens when Washington embraces the “law of the jungle,” and why the consequences could extend well beyond Venezuela.Host: Ian BremmerGuests: Ruben Gallego and Francis Fukuyama Subscribe to the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform, to receive new episodes as soon as they're published.

A wide-ranging journey inspired by the impulse-control problems of a 1950s catcher that provked,  depending on Billy Martin's mood, two, no three, no four on-field fights, with pints of blood flowing onto the infield dirt. Some of it is true, some of it is better. Also, said catcher gets up close and personal with parts of Whitey Ford's anatomy you've never before considered, and the host provides a few thoughts on current events.   The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine. America's brighter mirror, baseball reflects, anticipates, and even mocks the stories we tell ourselves about our world today. Baseball Prospectus's Steven Goldman shares his obsessions: history from inside and outside of the game, politics, stats, and Casey Stengel quotations. Along the way, we'll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can't get anybody out?

The Florida Panthers will try to get back in the win column when they continue their road trip with a matchup against the Ottawa Senators at Canadian Tire Centre tonight at 7 p.m. ET.

Norm Coleman, former Mayor of St. Paul, Minnesota & former Senator from Minnesota, calls into his first cousin Sid's morning show to discuss political and social turmoil in Minnesota following yesterday's tragedy in an ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis.

He contrasts today's political climate with his own leadership experience, calling for accountability and healing. Coleman also reflects on the broader political divide in Minnesota, describing it as a deeply split state where disorganization among Republicans has hindered change despite widespread frustration with Democratic leadership.

Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA), the first female combat veteran elected to the US Senate and author of DAUGHTER OF THE HEARTLAND: My Ode to the Country that Raised Me, joined the Guy Benson Show today and reacted to the chaos in the wake of a deadly I.C.E.-involved shooting in Minneapolis today. While Sen. Ernst did not make a judgement call on the shooting, she did back I.C.E. officers, saying that I.C.E. are the "good guys" and that violent incidents would not occur if they were allowed to carry out their lawful orders. Sen. Ernst and Benson also discuss  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin has been sounding the alarm about creeping authoritarianism, warning of military forces on U.S. streets and extrajudicial killings on the high seas. Now, following a military raid that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, those warnings feel newly urgent.

Furthermore, President Trump says the U.S. will now control Venezuela's massive oil reserves — over 300 billion barrels of crude oil. Later in the hour, we talk about why the U.S. might keep Venezuela's existing government in place, the real challenges of extracting Venezuela's oil resources and how Trump's use of the Monroe Doctrine is reshaping global politics. Guests: Elissa Slotkin, U.S. Senator representing Michigan; member of the Senate Committee on Armed Services Antonia Juhasz, investigative journalist covering energy and the environment for Rolling Stone and other outlets.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Tuesday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers political fallout from Minnesota's massive Medicaid fraud scandal, disciplinary action against Senator Mark Kelly for seditious conduct, explosive courtroom revelations from Nicolás Maduro's arraignment, rising global instability tied to Trump's Venezuela decision, and new intelligence warnings involving China, Iran, Germany, and America's food supply. He closes with encouraging medical research on immune health and cancer prevention. Tim Walz Forced Out as Minnesota Fraud Probe Explodes: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced he is dropping his reelection bid after becoming a liability to Democrats over the nine billion dollar Somali Medicaid fraud scandal. Federal investigators are now probing what Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison knew and when, after state whistleblowers warned in 2018 that fraud at Feeding Our Future was obvious before any money was paid. Despite those warnings, hundreds of millions flowed to Somali nonprofits that later donated to Democratic campaigns. Prosecutors admit the fraud is so widespread that many participants may never face charges due to limited resources. Hilton Refuses to House DHS and ICE Officers: A Hilton franchise owner in Minneapolis refused rooms to DHS and ICE agents participating in an immigration crackdown, saying the hotel would not assist deportations. Corporate Hilton had not responded at the time of recording. Bryan urges listeners to remember this incident when choosing where to spend their travel dollars. Mark Kelly Punished for Seditious Conduct: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reduced Senator Mark Kelly's military retirement rank and pay after Kelly called on service members to refuse illegal orders from President Trump but could not identify any such orders. Hegseth said Kelly's actions constituted reckless misconduct and confirmed investigators are evaluating whether Kelly could be recalled to active duty for prosecution under military law. Maduro Pleads Not Guilty as Indictment Stuns: Former Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro pleaded not guilty in Manhattan, declaring himself innocent and still the legitimate leader of Venezuela. Federal prosecutors released a detailed indictment outlining twenty-five years of cocaine trafficking, kidnappings, beatings, and murders ordered by Maduro and his family. His vice president, Delcy Rodríguez, vowed to resist the United States and declared Maduro a hostage, while Marxist guerrilla groups threatened attacks on Americans. Trump's Venezuela Decision Sends Shockwaves: The Wall Street Journal reports that President Trump repeatedly tried to negotiate Maduro's peaceful exit before losing patience after public taunts. His decision to authorize the capture has rattled regimes worldwide, including Iran. Reuters reports Iranian officials now fear Trump will act decisively if protests escalate, prompting the Ayatollah to quietly prepare escape plans to Russia along with billions in assets. China's Espionage Footprint Near U.S. Bases: A Chinese intelligence-linked individual owns two golf courses near Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, home to America's nuclear bomber force. Chinese media openly described the courses as networking hubs for U.S. political and business elites. Bryan warns that such properties create serious espionage and sabotage risks, similar to a Chinese-owned trailer park near Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri. Threats to America's Food Supply: A new screwworm outbreak in Mexico threatens U.S. cattle just as Brazil reduces its breeding herd and America's cattle numbers hit historic lows. Bryan warns beef prices are likely to remain high for several years and advises listeners to stock freezers when possible. Left Wing Terrorism Returns in Germany: German officials warn left-wing terrorism is intensifying after radicals sabotaged power infrastructure in Berlin and Brandenburg, cutting electricity to forty-five thousand people. The attackers vowed to escalate assaults on oil and gas infrastructure nationwide. Promising Medical Research: German researchers found that supplementing with 1,000 milligrams of Urolithin A for 28 days significantly rejuvenated aging immune systems by restoring mitochondrial function. UK scientists also reported that ten minutes of intense daily exercise can slow or reverse colon cancer growth by triggering DNA repair and reducing inflammation.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: January 6 Wright Report, Tim Walz Medicaid fraud Minnesota, Feeding Our Future whistleblower Ellison, Hilton refuses ICE DHS rooms, Mark Kelly retirement demotion Hegseth, Maduro indictment Manhattan drug trafficking, Delcy Rodríguez resistance, Trump Venezuela decision global impact, China espionage Barksdale Air Force Base, screwworm outbreak beef prices, Germany left wing terrorism infrastructure attack, Urolithin A immune system study, exercise colon cancer DNA repair

Don breaks down the outrageous move by Pete Hegseth to censure Mark Kelly and threaten cuts to his retirement pay, all over a video Kelly made with other lawmakers reminding members of the military that they are not required to obey unlawful orders. Let's be clear about what's happening here. Hegseth isn't enforcing discipline, he's punishing a senator for telling the military to follow the law. This is dangerous, unprecedented, and part of a broader pattern by the administration to clamp down on dissent and intimidate anyone who challenges its authority.

Recap of the game.

My mind was rarin' to go again today, but the rest of me wasn't having it. The smart thing to do was to use the Black Hole Week down time to answer a question the last couple of re-runs might have put you in mind of: What the hell did KITM sound like on January 7, 2026? Well, now you'll know! And if you'd like a preview, here's Scott Anderson's summary of that fateful day… after the actual fateful day. David Waldman, broadcasting from the center of our vast KITM World Headquarters, phones Greg Dworkin down in the laundry room, to discuss all that happened yesterday: Did you read my summary yesterday? No? Well, I don't blame you. Yesterday was pretty crazy. Yesterday, I was certain Trumpers would be no challenge to Capitol police. The day before, I thought even the idea of an assault on the House chamber to be an outlandish joke. Imagine my surprise to find attitudes change so quickly.  Otherwise, it wasn't much of a surprise. The forces of white entitlement, white supremacy and white lunacy amassed in DC, and statehouses across the country. Some of the assembled mob believed they were literally going to war. A few of them might have been surprised on all what that entails, but plenty sure as hell knew what they were doing. The rioters might have looked like jokes but they weren't joking, and everyone knew it. Rudy Giuliani tried to subvert the will of the people, but called the wrong Senator. Violent insurrection is what Donald Trump wanted. He already goaded a mob to seize the capitol in Lansing, Michigan, and he used social media to attempt a coup. He and the gang are being deplatformed 5 years too late, and it's not nearly enough anymore. William Barr, Mick Mulvaney, along with several others of the Trump administration, many Republicans, and all the other presidents can tell you it is not enough anymore. Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee have called on Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment. Of course, it was only yesterday that Mike got his big boy pants pulled up, so that might be a big ask.  Speaking of Mike, Politico's "Congress Reporter", Kyle Cheney misspoke about a discovery that he misconstrued as Pence manipulation of the electoral count, when in fact it is a parliamentarian hero story.

Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! R. William Johnstone joins the who for an in-depth conversation about his new book examining the life and legacy of former U.S. Sen. Wyche Fowler, one of the most consequential — and now often overlooked — figures in modern Georgia politics. Johnstone walks listeners through Fowler's rise from state politics to Washington, detailing the relationships, legislative battles, and political instincts that defined his career. The discussion places Fowler's tenure in the broader context of a Georgia Democratic Party at a crossroads, as the state moved from one-party dominance toward the competitive and polarized environment that exists today. Johnstone explains why Fowler's 1992 Senate race became a national flashpoint, how his approach to governance reflected a different era of politics, and what lessons his career still offers for candidates and voters alike. Along the way, the panel digs into the research behind the book, memorable moments from Fowler's time in office, and why revisiting his story helps make sense of Georgia's political evolution over the past half-century.

“Pass the Politics Pappy” explores the remarkable political rise of W. Lee "Pappy" O'Daniel, a flour salesman who used his popular radio show and catchy slogans to rocket into becoming Texas Governor and then U.S. Senator in the late 1930s and 1940s. Part 2 of the series focuses on O'Daniel's time as governor and delivered very little on his grand promises. Ultimately O'Daniel's story serves as a cautionary tale of media-driven political populism.

2026 - Bliain Úr faoi Mhaise DaoibhseA very happy New Year to all readers of this column, to the staff of the Belfast Media Group and The Irish Echo. And to you good readers who have stayed with me over the years.None of us know what 2026 will bring but we can be sure it will be interesting. May it also be good to you all and to your families. Beirigí bua. Eyes On The Prize. 2025 was a good year for Irish Unity. All of those advocating for a new Ireland, including Sinn Féin's Commission on the Future of Ireland, worked hard and effectively promoting the message that Irish Unity will be good for the people of the island of Ireland. Crucially, both houses of the Oireachtas, the Dáil and the Seanad, passed motions calling on the Irish government to begin the process of planning and preparing for Unity referendums. These include The Oireachtas Good Friday Agreement Committee. This is the only all-Ireland committee in Leinster House. It is unique in that Members of Parliament from the north join TDs and Senators to work on issues relating to the implementation of the Good Friday Agreement.The Good Friday Agreement remains the basis for relations on the island of Ireland and between the islands of Ireland and Britain. However, its implementation has been challenged, principally by indifference from London and a lack of consistent and positive leadership from Dublin.‘I'm so scared, please come'For as long as I have been a republican activist I have been reading and writing about the impact of British colonialism on peoples around the world. As the largest empire in human history Britain's conquests and exploitation of other places resulted in untold misery, death and hardship for those living under British rule - not least here in Ireland. To maintain its domination, the British Empire used violence and dehumanised the peoples it sought to exploit. Behind its claim of being a guardian of the ‘rule of law' Britain stole land and property, exploited mineral resources and reduced native peoples to little more than slaves.Among those many locations was Palestine. British policy is largely responsible for the decades of war that have plighted that land for a hundred years. Current British government policy is facilitating the genocide of the Palestinian people by the Israeli apartheid regime.I have visited Palestine and Israel on at least four occasions, including the Gaza Strip in 2009. I walked along the ‘separation wall' – a monstrous perversion designed to imprison Palestinians into smaller and smaller ghettoes.

America is suffering from a loneliness epidemic. Some groups have suggested religious communities may be key to solving it. Could it help? Those arguing “yes” say it gives people regular social contact, support systems, and a sense of purpose that could combat isolation. Those arguing “no” say that secular options would provide better, broad-based solutions. Now we debate: Can Religion Cure the Loneliness Epidemic?    Arguing Yes:   Harold Koenig, Director of Duke University's Center for Spirituality, Theology and Health   Chris Murphy, Senator from Connecticut     Arguing No:  Ruth Whippman, Author of "America the Anxious: How Our Pursuit of Happiness Is Creating a Nation of Nervous Wrecks" and "BOYMOM: Reimagining Boyhood in the Age of Impossible Masculinity."  Dan Barker, Co-President of the Freedom from Religion Foundation  Emmy award-winning journalist John Donvan moderates  Learn more about your ad choices.

1. Christmas and Its Religious Significance The discussion begins with warm holiday greetings and reflections on the meaning of Christmas. Emphasis is placed on celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, highlighting its spiritual importance over commercial aspects like gifts and Santa Claus. Ben and the Senator share personal traditions, such as reading Luke Chapter 2 during Christmas dinner, and discuss cultural practices (e.g., Cuban Christmas Eve celebrations with roasted pig vs. vegetarian meals). There’s commentary on a resurgence of faith among younger generations, citing record-breaking Bible sales in 2025. 2. Economic Outlook and Media Bias The conversation shifts to positive economic news: U.S. GDP growth of 4.3% in Q3, the strongest in two years. They argue this growth contradicts negative media predictions and accuse mainstream outlets of political bias. Key points include: Strong consumer spending during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Positive impacts of trade policy, tax cuts, and deregulation under President Trump. Criticism of media framing economic success negatively compared to previous administrations. 3. Welfare Fraud and Systemic Issues Historic fraud in Minnesota’s Medicaid and welfare programs, estimated at $9 billion, and allegations that funds were diverted to terrorist organizations like Al Shabab. Predicting similar fraud in other Democratic-led states (California, New York, Illinois). Wall Street Journal op-ed by Phil Gramm and John Early is mentioned about structural flaws in the U.S. welfare system: Welfare spending has surged 765% over 50 years, now costing $1.4 trillion annually. Many benefits are not counted as income, creating misleading poverty statistics and perpetuating dependency. The argument advocates for welfare reform to encourage work and reduce generational poverty. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
