The State of the Union has arrived. Will war with Iran come with it? Jon, Tommy, and Lovett react to reports that Trump is considering launching air strikes against Iran in the coming days and then jump into the rest of the news, including the President’s decision to impose a new fifteen percent global tariff—after the Supreme Court ruled his existing ones were illegal—Kash Patel’s taxpayer-funded trip to party with the U.S. men’s hockey team, and the various ways Congressional Democrats are planning to respond to tonight’s State of the Union address. Then, Lovett chats with MS NOW’s Symone Sanders-Townsend and Eugene Daniels about the Democratic Party’s 2028 frontrunners, the Crockett-Talarico Texas primary, and their new podcast, “MS NOW Presents: Clock It.”
Crooked believes that we need a better conversation about politics, culture, and the world around us—one that doesn’t just focus on what’s broken, but what we can do to fix it. At a time when it’s increasingly easy to feel cynical or hopeless, former Obama staffers Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor have created a place where people can have sane conversations that inform, entertain, and inspire action. In 2017 they started Crooked with Pod Save America—a no-bullshit conversation about politics. Since then, we continue to add shows, voices, and opportunities for activism, because it’s up to all of us to do our part to build a better world. That’s it. End of mission.

John Oliver discusses how an already flawed Twitter got worse under Elon Musk, how it continues to impact us all, and what it has to do with the 30-40 trillion cells humans are composed of. Or, wait, sorry, Twitter doesn’t have anything to do with the cells. It’s about our understanding of the universe. Maybe. You’ll just have to take that last part up with Elon directly.

https://www.youtube.com/watch/ANfXmygp8f4 Europe is moving on from Trump’s America | GZERO World
Europe looks increasingly prepared to defend itself without America. Ian Bremmer and Ivo Daalder assess what that means for NATO, Ukraine, and the future of the West.
As Washington walks away from its postwar, European leaders—from Emmanuel Macron to Friedrich Merz—signaled something unexpected: they may be ready to move forward without the United States.
On GZERO World, Ian Bremmer sits down with former US Ambassador to NATO Ivo Daalder to unpack what could be a historic turning point in the transatlantic alliance. “No, it’s not going to be the same as it’s been in the past decades,” Daalder says. “That’s gone.” But he argues this isn’t the end of the relationship, it’s a rebalancing that Europe should have begun years ago after what he calls decades of “unilateral disarmament.”
The Russian threat, he warns, is far from over. Moscow’s economy has been transformed into a war machine, and even if the fighting in Ukraine pauses, Europe will face a battle-hardened adversary on its doorstep. Meanwhile, Western production shortfalls and a US retreat from military aid have left serious gaps in Europe’s defenses. Is this the moment Europe finally stands on its own?
