Mark Carney Proclaims the End of American Hegemony w/ Stephen Maher | The Time of Monsters with Jeet Heer
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney made headlines at Davos with a much-noticed speech
where he candidly acknowledged that the US led alliance system created in World War II was
coming to an end. Carney called for middle powers such as Canada and its European allies to
give up the illusion that a US led world is still viable and instead try to create new institutions to
preserve their values and their sovereignty. I talked to Canadian journalist Stephen Maher, who
has written a biography of Carney’s predecessor Justin Trudeau, about the far-reaching
implications of this speech.

Gaza and Elite Accountability w/ Connor Echols / The Time of Monsters with Jeet Heer
Many of Joe Biden’s closest advisors are now well-ensconced in the sinecures reserved for the elite, working at think tanks, academia, and major media outlets. Normally, they could expect to have future jobs when the Democrats retake the White House. But this cozy situation is being disrupted by ongoing reporting showing the extent of their complicity in the Gaza genocide and other US crimes in the Middle East. I spoke about this with Connor Echols, managing editor of Responsible Statecraft, who wrote an excellent article on the efforts to hold these officials accountable.
