  • Russia is extending its influence in Eastern Europe—in Syria—in Libya—in the Balkans. Now more and more information is coming out about how it is also working to undermine America and put more pressure on Europe with its presence in Afghanistan.
  • Hong Kong had an election recently, and it was controlled entirely by China. When Britain handed over control of Hong Kong about 20 years ago, China promised “a high degree of autonomy.” Now we’re seeing what China’s definition of “autonomy” looks like.
  • In the United States, the confirmation process for the next Supreme Court justice is underway—and it’s turning pretty ugly. We’ll look at how this process exposes America’s division, partisanship, and radicalism.
  • And I’ll give you some priceless advice for succeeding at your most important career.
