It was great to see so many of you on Monday for our year-end show . Danielle Pletka and love our #HTHH community! If you weren’t able to catch us live, here is the full recording…best watched with a strong cocktail.
Look for more Hot Takes in 2026. In addition to our weekly news roundups, we’ll come to you with more analysis of breaking news and deeper dives on hot-button issues.
We don’t have regular “show notes” this week, but I encourage you to check out this MUST READ by Dany. WTH: We need better leaders.
You might have noticed that I’ve been offering more Cosmopolitics content without the paywall over the past few months. I have been trying to keep as much as possible free. But I need your help. Cosmopolitics is an entirely reader-supported publication, and it takes work to keep all of the reporting, critical analysis and interviews going.
Thanks to all of you who have already taken advantage of our holiday sale—30% off an annual subscription, continuing through New Year’s Day. We have exciting things ahead for 2026. Unlock our full archive of nuanced foreign policy analysis and exclusive subscriber-only content now, all for less than the cost of a coffee a month! A gift subscription is also gift for that Cosmopolitan in your life looking for serious foreign policy coverage. They’re also discounted at 30 percent!
I hope you all enjoy a wonderful and safe New Year and wish you and yours all good things in 2026.
Thank you Cash Flow Collective, David Galinsky, Bud Jones, Candace Head-Dylla, Lana, and many others for tuning into my live video with Danielle Pletka! Join me for my next live video in the app.
