Most of us are aware that the digital age we are living through is a time of incredible transformation. But we may not have contemplated what we'd like to see preserved — things like free speech. Some years ago, our guest on this week's program began investigating political censorship. What he found was bigger, more all-encompassing, and in fact more interesting. In his new book, he argues that we have entered an entirely new political epoch, that of the information state.Jacob Siegel is an American journalist. He is the special features editor for Tablet Magazine and co-host of the Manifesto! podcast. His new book is The Information State: Politics in the Age of Total Control.You can find Tara Henley on Twitter at @TaraRHenley, and on Substack at tarahenley.substack.com

The Prism of America's Education with Host Karen Schoen – In the modern world, artificial intelligence has become an integral part of our daily lives, often without us even realizing it. From the moment we wake up to the time we go to bed, AI is working in the background to make our lives more convenient, efficient, and enjoyable. Here are some of the ways AI simplifies our daily activities. Imagine waking up to...
Have you ever been fooled by someone? Doesn't feel good, does it?But the absolute worst is when we fool ourselves. We try to manage some problem on our own, or analyze why our boss is so mean.But the Bible has a better way of thinking about it.Proverbs 3:5 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.”We have to do two things here: give total control to God, and de-emphasize our own judgment. Sometimes our gut is wrong. “Following our heart” often ends in heartache.God doesn't mess up. He doesn't get it wrong. And he really longs to make it better for you.Do you remember a time when you put your life in God's hands? Maybe it was a really important career choice. Or a relationship needed healing. Maybe your body needed healing. Whatever it was, recall that situation today as you wrestle with a new problem.Let's pray.Lord, every time we learn to trust you, it builds our faith a little more. You are a good God who always has our back. Thank you for that. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

The Strait of Hormuz is on the brink—and the world is watching. President Trump declares TOTAL CONTROL over the most critical oil chokepoint on Earth. A U.S. naval blockade is tightening. Iran is threatening chaos at sea. And behind the scenes, a high-stakes power struggle is unfolding inside the regime. So, who really has the leverage? On this eye opening episode of the Stakscast, former IDF spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus joins Erick Stakelbeck to break it all down—from the battlefield to the global chessboard. Is Iran bluffing… or collapsing? Can the U.S. and Israel reopen the Strait of Hormuz at will? Who is REALLY calling the shots in Tehran—the regime or the IRGC? And what happens if Iran refuses to back down? Conricus delivers a sobering reality check: Iran is hemorrhaging hundreds of millions per day, its military capabilities are crippled, and the clock is ticking toward irreversible damage to its oil infrastructure. Meanwhile, the U.S.-Israel alliance is operating at historic levels—rewriting the rules of modern warfare and reshaping the Middle East in real time. Learn more about your ad choices.

On this week's episode of the RealClearInvestigations Podcast, RCI Editor J. Peder Zane and RCI Senior Reporter James Varney speak with Jacob Siegel about his masterful new book, “The Information State: Politics in the Age of Total Control,” which details how technology and progressivism have helped give rise to mass censorship, surveillance and propaganda. In our round-up of the week's best investigative reporting, Zane and Varney discuss a California Post article on the ongoing epidemic of sexual abuse at public schools, pieces in Reason and the Daily Caller that look at how government subsidies and illegal immigration are beleaguering the trucking industry and making America's roads less safe, and a Politico story on Russia's efforts to make sure its soldiers and citizen can only communicate through government-controlled channels.

—Jacob Siegel, the Information State, excerpts from audiobook, which can be found here.Totalitarianism came to America slowly at first and then all at once. It began as a utopia, one I helped build. It seemed like a perfect new America and gave all of us godless creatures, who'd been chewed up and spit out by the Boomers' counterculture revolution, a collective sense of purpose. It was all going so great until it wasn't.A Virtual UtopiaI got online 30 years ago. I never planned on living half of my life on the internet. It just turned out that way. I had motive, means, and opportunity to kill off my real-life self and be reborn in the virtual world. Why wouldn't I escape a life that had become a full-spectrum failure at everything I tried to do? A relationship that blew up when the man I thought loved me went back to his wife, the Graduate Film Program at Columbia I'd targeted as my life's dream ended in one semester as I chased that loser guy back to LA. There are things about that moment that are too painful to write about, at least for now, but I will someday. The result was me staring at the wall with nothing achieved and nowhere to go. I had just turned 30.The internet allowed me to remake myself as someone else. I could be strong. I could be confident. I could be beautiful because who knew what you looked like? I could just use words, and I was good at words. So I dove into a life online full of excitement and wonder, a dreamscape of endless possibilities. There was no Amazon, no eBay, no Google. There was barely a web browser.I fell in love with an Italian I met online and came back from Italy pregnant. He didn't want to be a father, but I wanted to be a mother, so I had my baby, and then I built a website so I could stay home with her and support us. I was the success story for every progressive female: a single mom and a business owner. A daughter of feminism en route to helping launch the Great Feminization and the Great Awokening.I was in Italy when I sent my first Tweet from my Treo. When Barack Obama signed on, I followed him, and he followed me. Then I became part of his army of clicktivists, shaping the new rules and building our desired narratives. We felt omnipotent. This was the internet, after all, and you could be anything you wanted to be - an activist for moral good? Check. An outspoken exhibitist? Check. West Wing-like politicos acting like experts in politics? Check. Remaking a new America one social media post at a time? Check. Virtue signaling with images blasted out to followers displaying our goodness? Check.For all the ways we used the internet, it shouldn't be that surprising that we built a virtual America - a fantasy utopia - that we forgot wasn't real. We were riding high with our media stars like Jon Stewart and Rachel Maddow. We were the new, the progressive, the forward thinkers, the early adopters. We colonized the internet in our image. Utopias only have two paths forward. They either collapse or they must become more totalitarian out of necessity, to quote Milan Kundera in The Book of Laughter and Forgetting.Our utopia was opt-in at first, and who wouldn't want to be a part of it? For a time, it felt like the best thing ever, all of our problems solved. It was everything, everywhere, all at once. A “whole of society” effort. It was # OscarsSoWhite. It was Critical Race Theory. It was every institution, corporation, legacy media outlet, and movie studio. But it was also dull. Movies became infused with dogma. The rules became stifling. Sooner or later, people like me were going to shake the tree.Says Siegel:Maintaining utopia, let alone defining it, meant that there would eventually be people like me who asked too many questions, who would be hurled before the almighty panopticon — an army of puritanical scolds policing thought and speech — and eventually destroyed and purged as the mob cheered. The BreakdownI'd been a good liberal, a loyal and devoted Democrat all of my adult life. I'd never thought about conspiracy theories. I didn't really challenge the system. I never doubted the intent of our government. I was all in for Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden. I was so loyal a supporter that I was invited to an early Biden fundraiser in May of 2019. I watched him speak with tears in my eyes. He will save us, I thought. One year later, however, COVID hit. My daughter had to leave her senior year of college and have her graduation on my balcony. We were sewing our own masks and making our own hand sanitizer. It was a whole-of-society effort to deal with this once-in-a-generation pandemic. But by the end of May, the George Floyd video whipped around the world, and before long, the whole of society's effort had to shift to racial injustice as millions poured into the streets. What I saw unfold that year, the lies that were told, the gaslighting, the lurching from one narrative to the other, and all of the obedient robots going along with it, in full mass formation, was too much, even for me. We watched them lie - the experts, the journalists, the celebrities, the Democrats. I kept trying to scream from the rooftops that we would lose the 2020 election if the violent protests didn't stop. What I didn't know, what I would find out by the end of the election, was that it didn't matter. They would bend the media narrative to pretend there were no violent protests. It all worked cleanly and smoothly. No one was even allowed to question it. Trump was campaigning hard, doing multiple rallies a day, and it seemed to me he was making headway and changing minds. We know this because he won Florida, Ohio, and Iowa. Only once in history has anyone won those three states and still lost: The 1960 election.The difference in votes between Kennedy and Nixon proves how close the election was. But it never made sense to me that Biden would win by such a large margin and also lose Ohio, Iowa, and Florida. Unless, of course, they'd built a system that was too big to fail and had collected enough ballots long before Election Day.The FBI, still working under Trump, had helped the Democrats by suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop via social media. COVID gave Biden the excuse to hide in the basement and not campaign. A “whole of society” effort to purge a once-in-a-generation threat seemed to justify everything they did, as we know from the confession in TIME Magazine. Our elections, it seemed, were too risky to leave up to the people. This system, this utopia we built, believed itself to be more powerful than our democracy, more powerful than our elections. I couldn't go along with that, just as I couldn't go along with everything that came after, as our utopia devolved into a totalitarian dystopia. The Information StateSometimes, during those dark nights of the soul, I wonder, did I do the right thing? Did what I thought happened really happen? No one in the mainstream media or culture has ever acknowledged any of it. They don't want to admit it or talk about it. Their war on Trump simply rages on, and they hope all of us will one day get with the program.But for me, there is still that untold story, a story I need to be told so that everyone on the Left - my friends and family and all of Hollywood and much of our legacy media understands what happened in the last ten years. Why are we living like this, with one half of the country marching by the millions to protest a president who defeated them not once but twice? Their hatred and shunning of half the country is still justified and accepted. Why?Now, thanks to Jacob Siegel, we don't have to wonder. He's written it all down, the whole ugly tale, in this essential text, The Information State: Politics in the Age of Total Control. There is nothing they can do about it now. It will set the record straight, at long last. The Information State starts with Woodrow Wilson's Great War crackdown on speech, and moves through World War II, Harry Truman and the Cold War, up to 9/11 and the expansion of the surveillance state. But it was the Obama administration that took it much further, beyond mere surveillance. He used information to change hearts and minds and to create a utopian society, not unlike those of the Soviet Union or China. As Siegel writes:How the protests and riots over the Summer in 2020, versus those on January 6th, were treated so differently by our government remains one of the clearest examples of the kind of two-tiered society we were living under before Elon Musk bought Twitter and Donald Trump won again. The BLM riots attacked working-class people, so they didn't matter, but January 6th attacked the powerful, and that, to them, meant war. Siegel writes:“Truth Held Forth and Maintained.”The scandal of how 20 people were hanged as witches in Salem would have been long forgotten, were it not for a cantankerous Quaker named Thomas Maule, who made the brave choice to expose the scandal in a pamphlet he called Truth Held Forth and Maintained. In cool and cutting sarcasm, he wrote that God would condemn the witch trial judges. He famously stated, “[F]or it were better that one hundred Witches should live, than that one person be put to death for a Witch, which is not a Witch.”Maule's pamphlet was banned, and he was thrown in jail for “blasphemy and slander.” He would eventually get a trial, and the jury, exhausted and demoralized by the events of that winter, ruled in his favor, handing him a landmark win that would be among the cases that inspired the First Amendment. Jacob Siegel won't be jailed for blasphemy. Those named in the book will either ignore it outright or attempt to discredit it. As of today, there are no reviews in the New York Times or the Washington Post. As if out of a chapter in his own book, Renée DiResta objected to how she was portrayed and wrote a letter of complaint to the website Baffler, which then pulled the review. Siegel and DiResta publicly debated whether it counted as censorship. But who needs censorship when you have total societal control? At least among the university-educated ruling class. DiResta's bio on Twitter reads:DiResta and the machine she works for have rigged the game in their favor. No major media outlets will ever call them out. Hollywood won't write any controversial screenplays about them. Late night comediens will never mock them, and they will always be treated gently, with soft cotton gloves, lest anyone leave a mark.Into the UnknownJacob Siegel's The Information State does not paint an optimistic vision for the future. It ends with a question mark. Who will control this vast leviathan of data and human behavior, that now includes unstoppable AI? And how will we survive it?What will these same people who took complete control of society, of thought and speech, do if they take back power? I think we can probably guess. If they've never admitted it, never atoned for any of it, then we can expect it will come roaring back, and this time, they won't bother trying to hide it. My advice? Log off. Migrate back to the real world. Look at the sky at twilight. Dig your toes into the sand. Build a fire in the woods. Look people in the eye. Attend a poetry reading. Go to a coffee shop. Meet people in the real world and leave the internet and the Information State far behind.It's probably too late for me. I'm a lifer. I know that. But I'm also a cautionary tale. This is what happens when you spend 30 years of your life in the virtual world. But if I can find my way out, then anyone can. // This is a public episode.

How does an organization get total control over millions of families? What does absolute submission doctrine actually produce in the people living inside it? And why does accountability almost never reach the people who built the system?This week on Hidden Killers Live, Tony Brueski brings together two of the most qualified voices on this subject anywhere: Robin Dreeke — retired Chief of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program — and Shavaun Scott — a thirty-year licensed psychotherapist specializing in trauma recovery and violent behavior psychology who grew up inside a fundamentalist religious system herself. Together they examine the Institute in Basic Life Principles not as background context for the Duggar arrests, but as the central story.Shavaun Scott brings clinical precision to what the IBLP's Umbrella of Authority framework actually does to the people inside it. Fathers hold absolute authority. Wives submit. Children obey. Questioning that chain is framed as spiritual rebellion. Leaving it is described in the organization's own materials as witchcraft. She examines what it means psychologically to be raised inside a structure where every internal authority figure — family, church, community — is aligned against disclosure. Where there is no language for abuse because the curriculum was specifically designed to exclude it. Where fear and submission are the theological baseline, not the aberration.Robin Dreeke addresses the behavioral architecture. What does an institution that systematically removes children's ability to identify and report harm actually produce when harm occurs? What does it mean for disclosure years later — when a now-teenager finally tells someone what happened to them at nine? And Bill Gothard — the founder of IBLP, accused by more than 34 women of harassment and sexual assault, still never charged — is the clearest example of what Robin identifies as the defining feature of these systems: accountability structurally cannot reach the top because the top designed the structure.Former members describe leaving as deprogramming. Not leaving a church. Deprogramming. Robin and Shavaun address what that clinical distinction actually means — and why we keep finding gentler language for it.This is Part 1 of 3.

Jacob Siegel returns to talk about his new book The Information State: Politics and the Age of Total Control, which explains why the war on disinformation is a continuation of the War on Terror using repurposed counterinsurgency tools, and the replacement of bottom-up civic institutions with top-down algorithmic control. They cover how Obama's administration built the censorship infrastructure that defined the Trump era, the role of the CIA in fabricating Russiagate through the Intelligence Community Assessment, how COVID censorship was far more radicalizing than Russiagate because it touched people's everyday lives, how tech platforms concentrate power by eliminating private property rights, why younger generations don't care about privacy because they've grown up under constant surveillance, and why freedom in the digital age must be found within the system rather than outside it. They also discuss how the rise of AI will follow a familiar historical pattern seen in moments of extraordinary technological change—like the printing press or early mass communications—which typically brings massive social upheaval, often bloody and marked by war, but through which humanity ultimately survives; the only way out is through.Buy Jacob's book here: https://amzn.to/4rW3QtZ#InformationState #Censorship #digitalcontrol Topics covered: information state vs democracy, digital control replacing civic institutions, Obama to Trump censorship infrastructure, Russiagate fabrication, COVID radicalization, Pentagon internet origins, AI as supernatural force, finding freedom within technology, the only way out is through
What if the biggest threat to democracy isn’t politics—but information itself? On this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with journalist and author Jacob Siegel to unpack his new book The Information State: Politics in the Age of Total Control. Together, they explore how “disinformation” evolved from a Cold War concept into a dominant force in modern politics—and how it’s being used to shape public opinion at scale. Siegel breaks down the rise of algorithmic power, the role of media narratives in shaping reality, and why AI could accelerate the shift away from individual sovereignty toward centralized information control. Drawing on his experience as a U.S. Army intelligence officer, he connects modern information warfare tactics to what we’re seeing today in America’s political and digital landscape. They also discuss: The origins and evolution of the “disinformation” narrative How media, tech platforms, and algorithms influence what we believe Why AI may make truth harder—not easier—to find The long-term risks to democratic systems and individual freedom A surprising prediction about how culture and technology may become more “medieval” in the coming years Plus, Siegel shares personal insights on resilience, fatherhood, and how to stay grounded in an age of constant information overload.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
“What conclusion do you draw if you see a system that continues to grow more powerful despite failing at the things it says it's going to accomplish?” — Jacob SiegelJacob Siegel grew up in Brooklyn, studied history at Boston University, enlisted in the US Army after September 11, and fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. In Afghanistan, as an intelligence officer, he had the latest drones, sensors, Palantir databases, and predictive models at his fingertips — but still couldn't get a coherent answer about what, exactly, America was trying to accomplish in its war with the Taliban. To him, the technology was as extraordinary as the incoherence of the war.In his new book, The Information State: Politics in the Age of Total Control, Siegel argues that within a few years of coming home, those same tools were being used on American citizens. This “Information State” was born in Herat and Kandahar. It came home to our iPhones.But Siegel's Information State isn't the conventional leftist critique of Big Tech. Siegel argues that the Obama administration elevated the war on terror's surveillance apparatus into an art of progressive government — not as Orwellian censors but through a sprawling network of NGOs, fact-checkers, and media organisations that made authoritarian control look like liberal consensus. Ben Rhodes, one of the principal architects of the Information State, called it the echo chamber. Trump's version is cruder, more monarchical, more wannabe Orwellian. But the infrastructure, Siegel says, is the Internet itself. Digital society has spawned its own form of government regardless of who's in charge. This Kafkaesque system grows more powerful despite failing at everything it claims to do. You may not be interested in the Information State, but it sure is interested in you. Such is politics in the age of total control. Five Takeaways• The War on Terror's Tools Came Home: Siegel was an intelligence officer in Afghanistan with drones, sensors, Palantir, and predictive databases at his fingertips — and couldn't get a straight answer about what America was trying to accomplish. Within a few years of returning, those same tools were being used on American citizens. The information state was born in Herat and Kandahar.• Obama Built It. Trump Inherited It. Neither Owns It: The Obama administration elevated the war on terror's surveillance tools into an art of government — not as Orwellian censors but through a progressive gloss of rationality and correct social ideals. Trump's version is cruder, more monarchical, more direct. But the infrastructure is the Internet itself. Digital society spawns its own form of government regardless of who's in charge.• The System Grows More Powerful by Failing: This is the Kafkaesque horror at the heart of the book. A system that never achieves its stated goals — winning in Afghanistan, rationalising society, controlling public opinion — yet continues to grow larger and more powerful. If a system is rewarded for failing, the system itself has become the purpose.• Twitter Under Musk Is a Horrifying Factory of Schizophrenia: Siegel is no Musk apologist. He thinks the early campaign against mass censorship was a good step. But the result — Musk's Twitter — is social dissolution, not liberation. Removing government control didn't solve the fundamental problem of how we mediate social relations online.• The Human Subject Has Been Diminished: The digital world has relocated human agency into opaque systems. The crisis of the American man — and, Siegel concedes, of the American woman too — is bound up with a technological transformation on the order of the printing press. Industrial-era social relations cannot persist under digital conditions. The information state is the first draft of what comes next.

With nearly 2,800 episodes since the show launched on TechCrunch in 2010, Keen On America is the most prolific intellectual interview show in the history of podcasting.WebsiteSubstackYouTubeApple PodcastsSpotify Chapters:(00:00) - Introduction: the wages of bitterness and the information state (02:52) - Brooklyn, Boston University, and the unfocused student (05:05) - September 11 and the American man who enlisted (06:02) - Anatole Broyard, not Nathan Zuckerman (08:09) - McCarthy, the Red Scare, and the fertile fifties (11:17) - Iraq, Afghanistan, and the disjunction between technology and war (14:44) - Palantir, drones, and the dream of total control (15:45) - The war on terror's tools come home to America (17:00) - Obama's progressive information state: not Orwellian, worse (20:35) - Six Espionage Act prosecutions and the echo chamber (28:09) - Trump's quasi-monarchical version vs. Obama's sprawl (32:10) - Gramsci, cultural hegemony, and the single national ruling class (34:02) - The Kafkaesque horror: a system that grows by failing (43:50) - Twitter under Musk: a horrifying factory of schizophrenia (44:32) - The crisis of the American man and the diminished human subject
In Episode 470 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Jacob Siegel — writer and editor at Tablet Magazine, U.S. Army veteran, and author of The Information State: Politics in the Age of Total Control — about the intellectual and historical roots of his argument that the internet has given rise to a fundamentally new form of political regime, one that governs not through force or democratic consent, but by controlling the codes and protocols of the digital public arena. The first hour traces the theoretical and historical foundations of Siegel's argument, from the media theory of Marshall McLuhan, Harold Innis, Neil Postman, and Jacques Ellul, to James Beniger's 1986 work The Control Revolution, to the 17th-century philosophy of Gottfried Leibniz and its downstream influence on the cybernetic frameworks that gave rise to the internet. They discuss the rise of digital swarms, the Anonymous movement, and what Siegel observed when he returned from Afghanistan in 2012 to find American culture being reshaped by the velocity and incoherence of online mass formation. The hour closes with an examination of his central thesis: that the internet — born out of Cold War Pentagon research and reconsolidated under government auspices after September 11th — has given rise to a third form of political regime he calls the information state. The second hour examines how the information state differs in kind from the analog propaganda systems of the 20th century, and why Siegel believes it is simultaneously more powerful and more brittle than what came before. They dig into the paradox at the heart of his argument — that the same informational infrastructure built to extend elite control also created the conditions for the digital insurgencies now convulsing Western politics — and explore Siegel's critique of the counter-disinformation establishment, his views on the concentration of private platform power, and what a coherent policy response to the dysfunctions of the modern information environment might look like, including antitrust regulation, private data ownership, and the prosecution of foreign disinformation campaigns, while preserving the essential distinction between the speech rights of citizens and non-citizens alike.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's long-discussed Netflix film projects appear to be moving slowly — and insiders say creative control may be the sticking point. According to new reporting, Meghan is interested in directing one of the couple's planned Netflix films herself and wants approval over key decisions including the script, casting and marketing. Studios are reportedly wary about handing that level of authority to a first-time director, which may be slowing progress on projects such as the adaptation of the bestselling novel Meet Me at the Lake.We also examine growing commentary around the Sussex brand, including calls for the couple to film a more personal behind-the-scenes Netflix docuseries showing their life in Montecito.Plus: the latest chapter in the so-called “jam wars” as Meghan's As Ever lifestyle brand pushes spreads and chocolates globally, a blistering on-air taste test from Megyn Kelly who called the chocolates “absolutely disgusting,” and a Wall Street Journal look at Prince Harry's quieter life in California — where friends say he sometimes appears adrift while Meghan pursues new ventures.Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.

In a special, in-person conversation from the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, director Judd Ehrlich (“Keepers of the Game”) joins Ken in Park City to discuss his new documentary “Jane Elliott Against the World,” which just had its world premiere in the festival's U.S. Documentary Competition section. In the opening scene of “Jane Elliott Against the World,” the film's eponymous protagonist rather provocatively calls herself a “bitch” — actually, an acronym for “Being in Total Control, Honey.” As a teacher in a rural Iowa school in the 1960s, Jane devised a provocative social experiment called “Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes” intended to make her students understand what it feels like to be an oppressed minority based on outward appearance. The effect on her students was immediate and profound, and the experiment reverberated across the country, making Jane famous. Judd describes getting to know Jane and learning from her daughters how, growing up, Jane's full-time anti-racism activism took its toll on the family. Now 92, Jane shows few signs of slowing down. She may not be in total control, but, to anyone who tries to stand in her way, be forewarned.

Tuesday, January 20, 2026 Global markets fell sharply after Trump threatened 10% tariffs on imports from Denmark and seven other European countries if they refuse to support his effort to acquire Greenland; Trump said he was confident the U.S. would acquire Greenland and declined to set any limits on his approach, saying "You'll find out"; Trump, in a text message to the Norwegian prime minister, wrote that losing the Nobel Peace Prize made him feel less obligated to “think purely of Peace”; federal prosecutors served grand jury subpoenas to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and at least three other Democratic officials; the Justice Department said it discovered evidence suggesting members of DOGE improperly accessed and shared Social Security data with a political advocacy group seeking to overturn election results in certain states; and 58% of Americans call the first year of his second term a failure.

2026-01-19 | UPDATES #108 | Nothing makes sense. And everything is clear. Trump says he “needs” Greenland to deter Russia… while starving Ukraine of support and now inviting Putin, Orbán, and Lukashenko onto something called the “Board of Peace.” A “peace board” with a $1 billion cover charge.He's invited Putin, a man who has started more wars than any other leader alive today and been responsible for more deaths that most tyrants of the last 100 years. A man who has demonstrably not made peace in 2025, despite being presented with many opportunities through draft proposals and ceasefire requests. If this was not real and serious, one could pass it off as the greatest piece of trolling ever carried out in history. But Trump means it. This is indeed a lucrative club, and by design, perhaps the fees will only appeal to autocrats, kleptocrats and oligarchs. Democracies, not so much. If you ever needed a single headline for the collapse of the rules-based order into a demented billionaire's vanity project, is it this.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------SOURCES: Reuters (Jan 19, 2026) — Trump's Norway message, Greenland “Complete and Total Control,” tariff linkage, Danish FM quote, Greenland PM quote.

In this explosive episode, Charlie and I react to President Trump's stunning message to Norway's Prime Minister: because Norway “decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 wars,” he no longer feels “an obligation to think purely of Peace” — and now demands “Complete and Total Control of Greenland” from Denmark.From petty whining about the Nobel snub to threatening 10% tariffs (rising to 25%) on eight European allies (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, Netherlands, Finland, UK) unless they hand over Greenland — this is peak Trump chaos.We also discuss:-- Trump's childish, un-American pettiness-- Parallels to appeasement and loss of U.S. moral authority-- Hypotheticals: What if Trump actually invades Greenland?-- Domestic fallout: Minnesota ICE brutality, Insurrection Act threats, and normalizing cruelty-- Why appeasing authoritarians (at home or abroad) never works-- And MUCH more!Is America becoming the “ugly American”? Are we losing our exceptionalism?

This summer we're curating your 456 playlist listening to bring you some of our favourite interviews from MID and No Filter. Rachel Griffiths says she just got through her "peak mid-hell years" and she's here to tell us how. The actor, producer, and director has had many eras - from the "fast start" of Muriel's Wedding to being a Hollywood awards darling, a big-deal US TV star, the director of the Australian classic movie Ride Like A Girl, the co-creator of Total Control and now, the star of the TV show Madam. Through all that, she was also wrestling with the relatable MID dramas - parenting teens and young adults, a diagnosis that made sense of so much, caring for ageing relatives and trying to keep a long-term marriage going. No wonder, as she tells host Holly Wainwright, she and her husband needed a sabbatical. This conversation also veers off into ageing, the Hollywood stars Rachel used to envy but no longer does, how to stay optimistic in a tumultuous world and the relief of finding out she's "ADHD AF".
