The whole crew had been doing a podcast together right before that and were planning on bringing the show back again when the Covid lockdowns were done.

The single most important development that will unfold during 2026 are the U.S. midterm elections that will take place in November.

The world has seen a dramatic regression of liberal democracies worldwide over the past decade. Two large authoritarian powers, Russia and China, have tightened repression at home and projected their influence around the world.
But critically, their rise has been abetted by the growth of populist nationalist parties in many developed democracies. The most important of these is the United States itself, which over the prior 70 years had created and led a global liberal order.
The election of Donald Trump, first in 2016 and then a second time in 2024, has reoriented that global order in dramatic ways.
Trump’s America has in effect switched sides in the global struggle for democracy, making deals with authoritarian leaders and disdaining democratically elected counterparts in Europe and Asia. This dramatic shift has affected Ukraine first and foremost, with the US ending direct military support and promoting Russian war aims as it seeks a deal with Moscow over the heads of both Ukraine and the Europeans.
At home, Trump is behaving like an autocrat himself, disdaining legality and ruling through executive orders.
During the Biden administration, I and many other supporters of Ukraine lobbied the White House to be more forthcoming in both the level of aid, and the types of weapons being provided to Kyiv. That period ended decisively when Trump returned to the White House in January 2025. The disastrous meeting in the White House between Trump and President Volodymyr Zelensky in February signaled the new orientation the administration would take, and the U.S. president has not really deviated from his pro-Russian posture since then.
This has completely changed the agenda for Ukraine's friends in the U.S. It is no longer useful or possible to lobby for stronger American support when the administration is now siding with the enemy. Donald Trump is not driven by policy arguments or ideology, but rather by personal self-interest, often in the form of direct payoffs to himself and his family.
Ask the Swiss**, who got themselves a lower tariff rate by giving Trump an expensive gold bar. Trump's primary interest in the current negotiation with Russia seems to be the prospect of exploiting Ukraine's resources and reintegrating Russia into the global economic order so that Americans could start profiting from investments there again.
The only way that an American can support Ukraine or democracy worldwide is to get Trump out of power. The American system of checks and balances has so far failed to constrain Trump, but it is premature to give up on it. In my view, Trump's influence peaked in the first half of 2025, and there are now clear signs that he is weakening.
The most important check remains elections, and there is strong evidence that the Democrats will retake the House of Representatives next November.
As a result of Trump’s mismanagement of the economy, many voters have soured on him. The off-year election held in November showed Democrats winning by substantial margins across the board. Already more than two dozen Republican members of the House have announced that they will not be running for re-election, primarily because they don't want to be in the minority after the midterms.
The scandal surrounding Jeffrey Epstein has damaged Trump among his core supporters. His tariff policy has been making life more expensive for ordinary Americans, even as he tries to assert that prices are actually going down. Trump will seek to distract people's attention by ramping up pressure on Venezuela and using military power around the world, but that is not why his core supporters voted for him.
If the Democrats retake the House of Representatives, they will hold hearings, subpoena Cabinet members, and investigate

In November 2025, the United States reached a trade agreement with Switzerland to lower tariffs from 39% to 15%. This deal followed a high-profile "charm offensive" by a delegation of Swiss business leaders who visited President Trump in the Oval Office.
Key Details of the Incident
• The Gifts: On November 4, 2025, a group of Swiss billionaires and executives — including representatives from Rolex, Richemont, and gold refiner MKS PAMP — presented President Trump with a custom-engraved 1-kilogram gold bar (valued at approximately $130,000) and a Rolex desk clock.
• Timing of the Deal: Roughly 10 days after the meeting where the gifts were presented and later displayed on the president's desk, the U.S. announced it would slash the tariff rate on Swiss goods.
• Wider Concessions: Beyond the gifts, Switzerland committed to investing $200 billion in the U.S. over the next five years and increasing purchases of U.S. products, such as Boeing aircraft and agricultural goods.

The move gives Trump, whose private company has developed numerous golf courses in the U.S. and abroad, the right to remake links overlooking the Potomac River and in Rock Creek Park.
Officials for the National Links Trust said $8.5 million had gone toward capital improvements at the courses and that rounds played and revenue had more than doubled in their tenure managing the courses.
The Department of the Interior’s decision comes as Trump rebrands civic spaces in Washington with his name.

Orsted files legal challenge to Trump’s wind-farm suspension
Jan 2, 2026

rump-s-wind-farm-suspension/ar-AA1Tr9zK
(Bloomberg) -- Orsted A/S filed a legal complaint after the Trump administration suspended the lease of a wind project that’s near completion off Rhode Island.
The US government’s order “violates applicable law,” the Danish developer and joint-venture partner Skyborn Renewables said in a statement. The firms will call for the suspension to be lifted until the court hands down a final verdict.
It’s the second time the Revolution Wind project has been targeted by the administration. After the government issued a stop-work order in the summer, a judge ruled construction could resume while a legal challenge was underway. President Donald Trump has fought aggressively to thwart the growth of the industry as he rolls back Biden-era climate policies and champions fossil fuels.
Orsted rose as much as 3.7% at the open on Friday. The shares slumped more than 30% last year, dragged lower by Trump’s repeated attacks on the sector and by management’s decision to hold a massive share sale, which was effectively a handout by the Danish government.
Revolution Wind “faces substantial harm from a continuation of the lease suspension order,” the company said in the statement. The project is 87% complete and expected to be ready to deliver power to American homes this year.
The US in December suspended leases for five wind farms under construction off the East Coast, citing concerns over national security as the huge turbines may interfere with radar systems. Aside from Revolution Wind, Orsted’s Sunrise Wind project off the coast of New York was also affected.
The company “continues to evaluate all options” in relation to that project, including possible legal proceedings, it said in the statement. Other major developers, including Equinor ASA, are engaging with US authorities over security concerns tied to offshore wind.
________________
Recent Legal Developments (Late 2025 – 2026)
• Court Battles: Multiple federal judges have struck down Trump’s executive orders to freeze wind permitting, calling the actions "arbitrary and capricious".
• Project Pauses: Despite legal setbacks, the administration has used "stop work" orders for projects like Revolution Wind and Empire Wind, citing the need for further environmental and security reviews.
As of January 2, 2026, President Trump’s efforts to thwart wind power—particularly offshore wind—are driven by a combination of aesthetic personal grievances, ideological commitment to fossil fuels, and recently, specific claims regarding national security
His opposition stems from several key motivations:
1. Aesthetic and Personal Grievances
Trump's hostility toward wind power began over a decade ago when he unsuccessfully fought to block an offshore wind farm visible from his golf course in Scotland. He frequently describes turbines as:
• Ugly and "Disgusting": He often claims they ruin scenic views and property values.
• "Cemeteries" for Birds: He argues they "kill all your birds," specifically citing bald eagles, though many research studies show these claims are often exaggerated or unsupported by site-specific data.
2. National Security Claims
In late 2025, the administration cited national security risks as a primary legal justification for halting major wind projects.
• Radar Interference: The Department of the Interior paused five major offshore projects, claiming turbine blades create "clutter" that obscures and confuses military radar signals.
• Classified Reports: The administration has pointed to classified Pentagon reports as the basis for these halts, although critics and some judges have questioned the validity of these claims as a pretext for a broader ideological ban.
3. Energy Policy and Economic Ideology
Trump views wind energy as an inefficient competitor to traditional energy
