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.

https://www.youtube.com/watch/kaLd_fyHWEc Venezuela’s new reality | ask ian
In this “ask ian,” Ian Bremmer addresses the aftermath of the US military operation that captured Nicolás Maduro, calling the results so far “pretty successful.”

Ian notes that no Americans were killed and that the regional response has been largely positive, particularly in South America, where Maduro was widely viewed as “exporting instability” through mass migration and drug trafficking.

Ian explains that the US avoided a full regime-change scenario with “boots on the ground,” instead applying pressure from offshore while signaling expectations to Venezuela’s remaining leadership.

The result, he says, has been greater openness to investment, especially in oil and mining, and a path toward renewed diplomacy and possible IMF engagement.

While cautioning that Venezuela remains “functionally an authoritarian regime,” Ian argues that limited US aims have produced “more significantly positive” outcomes for Venezuelans than in recent years.

https://www.youtube.com/watch/zjcOdH-Qx1o Trump’s Epstein Problem Just Got Worse
Epstein revelations continue. New files reveal that the notorious sex offender had closer relationships than previously known with Trump’s inner circle, including Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. Ghislaine Maxwell pleads the Fifth to Congress, while her lawyer says she’s “prepared to speak fully and honestly” if Trump agrees to let her out of prison. While Jon, Tommy, and Lovett are overseas, Alex Wagner and Ben Rhodes discuss how the files are rattling politicians around the world, and why consequences have been more severe abroad than in the U.S. There’s also the fight to put limits on ICE playing out in the courts and Congress, Trump’s scheme to celebrate America’s 250th birthday with a fresh grift, and why RFK Jr. can’t be trusted with the Super Bowl snacks.
