Dive into the latest episode of The DMZ with Matt Lewis and Bill Scher, breaking down Donald Trump's bold foreign policy moves in 2026.

From the dramatic arrest of Maduro in Venezuela and claims of U.S. oil interests, to Trump's persistent Greenland ambitions and comparisons to Teddy Roosevelt's imperialism – is this a coherent "Donroe Doctrine" or ego-driven adventurism?

We explore the through lines: spheres of influence, interventionism beyond the Western Hemisphere (like bombing Iran), and the risks of resurrecting great-power conflicts.

Plus, insider analysis on Marco Rubio's rising influence as Secretary of State, his potential motivations tied to Cuba, and how Venezuela is shaking up the 2028 GOP race against JD Vance.

Bill draws historical parallels to Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and the post-WWII order, warning of long-term instability.

Could Trump's "points on the board" make him historically great – or lead to disaster?

Ahead of the Iowa caucuses, Bill and Matt discuss the state of the GOP primary race, including this week's primary debate. Can Nikki Haley win New Hamsphire, and will that even matter? Next, they discuss Speaker Mike Johnson's attempts to avoid a government shutdown, and whether Joe Biden is capable of driving a positive message.

On this week's episode of The DMZ, Bill Scher joins Matt Lewis to unpack the coming 2026 blue wave (Tennessee special election analysis), Trump's pardoning of a convicted narco-state president while ordering missile strikes on “drug boats” in the Caribbean, the big media scandal that has tongues wagging, and more!
