In this episode, Mary Katharine Ham and Karol Markowicz break down the biggest stories shaping politics, culture, and public trust—from global elites to everyday governance.

The conversation begins with the World Economic Forum in Davos, examining what its influence says about global power, accountability, and democratic legitimacy. They then turn to U.S.–Canada relations, highlighting how cooperation—or the lack of it—impacts border security, trade, and law enforcement.

Mary Katharine and Karol also analyze crime reduction strategies, emphasizing the importance of coordinated policing and realistic public safety policies over ideological posturing. Shifting to culture, they unpack the very public feud within the Beckham family, using it as a lens to explore family dynamics, media narratives, and how fame distorts private conflict.
