Welcome back to Pod Save the World. I'm Ben Rhodes. And right now, Tommy is about 35,000 feet over the Pacific, flying back from Pod Save America's Australia and New Zealand tour. But with me today to help steer this ship is my friend, Eamon Moyheldin. Eamon, thanks so much for being here.
Great to be with you, Ben. Thanks for having me.
So Eamon, if you're not watching, he's the host of The Weekend Primetime, which are Saturdays and Sundays on MSNOW at 6 p.m. Eastern. And Eamon, we are now colleagues not just at MS, where I'm a contributor, but now there's this crooked MS. We're crossing the streams, as they say. So some crooked content is going to be on a show on MS. Maybe this, I don't know, maybe you pop up on your own network here. Yeah.
That would be great, yeah. Actually, when I saw the news, I was very excited. You know, I think, you know, cross collaboration, Crooked Media is breaking new grounds and doing incredible things now for a couple of years. I think there's so much synergy between the two organizations. And, you know, honestly, the way the media landscape is changing now, people are getting information and news and content and conversations online. in so many different places. So the more platforms you're on and the more places you are seen, the better it is for everyone. So I can't think of a better partnership than Crooked Media and MSNOW.
Yeah, you got to show up everywhere. And we may have to get you here for a podcast, man. Anytime, anytime. Got a couple of pitches for you. Well, look, we've got a great show lined up today. We're going to cover the news out of the Munich Security Conference, where I saw firsthand the kind of post-European freakout from the Greenland dustup. We'll talk about, I really want to unpack with you Israel's escalation in the West Bank, the latest on negotiations with Iran, Trump's attempt to collapse the Cuban government via Oil embargo, but really kind of starving the population there. And then just briefly some succession news out of North Korea. And I don't know, Eamon, if you saw a piece about the downfall of Twitter troll and leader of the Trump Kennedy Center, Rick Grinnell.
So hopefully we can get to that. Chief construction officer is what he's going to be.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He was going to be Secretary of State and now he's running a construction project.
He ran intelligence agencies for America and now he's in charge of construction projects.
It just shows you what happens if you suck up to Trump. It doesn't usually work out. But let's start in Munich. So I'm just going to give a little rundown here where the security conference took place over Valentine's Day, but no love lost between the U.S. and Europe. And there's really nothing more romantic, Eamon, I have to say, than being in a windowless series of rooms with a bunch of technocrats and government officials talking about the collapse of the rules-based order. I will say that there were a couple of speeches that kind of shadowed everything.
