Elizabeth Economy, a former senior China adviser in the Biden administration and author of The World According to China, joins Bianna to unpack what she sees as Beijing’s strategy to dominate the next frontiers of power, and what it means for the future of the global order.

Beijing Presses Its Advantage

President Trump has sent a clear message to Iran: Agree to a deal that results in "no nuclear weapons," or America will take military action. In response, Iran says its armed forces ready "with their fingers on the trigger." Vice Admiral Kevin Donegan is a veteran military planner who served as a Director of Operations for US Central Command, which includes the Middle East. He joins the show to breakdown the options on Trump's table. 

Also on today's show: Karim Sadjadpour, Senior Fellow, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; David Borenstein, Co-director, Mr Nobody Against Putin; Stephen Vladeck, Professor of Law, Georgetown University

Trump's Iran Options

The whole world is watching what is happening in Minnesota, the state at the center of President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says local police won't enforce federal immigration policy. Some Republicans are now speaking out after the killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti, with Senator Thom Tillis railing against both Homeland Security Chief Kristi Noem and top White House adviser Stephen Miller. Trump responded by calling Tillis a "loser" and a frequent target of Trump, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, was attacked last night in Minneapolis. A man ran at Omar spraying an unknown substance, before he was tackled and taken away. To discuss this all, reporter Kevin Liptak joins the show. 

Also on today's show: Brian A. Nichols, Former Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs; Milo Rau, Director and playwright, Hate Radio; Joseph Cox, Reporter and Co-Founder, 404 Media

The State of Minnesota

A spate of new trade agreements shows how America’s global partners are hedging their bets against Trump's volatile tariff policy. Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney saw all this coming. Speaking in Davos, he called for 'middle powers' to prepare for the end of the rules-based international order, warning, "if we're not at the table, we're on the menu." Historian Michael Ignatieff, who preceded Carney as head of Canada's Liberal Party, joins the show to discuss.

The city's former chief of police, Medaria Arradondo, joins the show.

Former Minneapolis Chief of Police Medaria Arradondo

Donald Trump continues to lash out at the press and its coverage of his second term. The FBI raided the home of a Washington Post reporter and confiscated her devices. Authorities say it was part of an investigation into classified documents, but federal regulations to preserve press freedom and protect sources traditionally prevent such invasive action. Former Washington Post Executive Editor Marty Baron joins the show to discuss. 

Also on today's show: Mahmood Mamdani, father of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani; National Geographic Fellow Paul Salopek

Former Danish PM Helle Thorning-Schmidt

Donald Trump flew to Davos this morning, where he dissed Europe, before he embraced it, called NATO deadbeat before saying he was 100% behind it, and doubled down on his push to take Greenland. But to a collective sigh of relief, the US president said he would not use force to get it. Finland's President Alexander Stubb was in the front row for Trump's speech.

Deescalating Tensions with US Allies

President Donald Trump is doubling down on his threats to annex Greenland and has said he will impose tariffs on European countries who do not support his ambitions. Europe is weighing its options, including a so-called "Trade Bazooka," which would block some US access to EU markets and impose export controls. So what do Greenlanders think about all this? International reporter Nic Robertson joins the show from Nuuk with the details. 

Also on today's show: Heather Conley, Former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State; Sir Peter Westmacott, Former UK Ambassador to the US; Kimberlé Crenshaw, Professor of Law, UCLA & Columbia University / Executive Director, African American Policy Forum; former January 6th Capitol riot senior prosecutor
