Mexico Takes Out a Drug Kingpin and Tariff Chaos Leads EU to Pause Trade Deal Feb 23, 2026

Show notes

Cars burning. Highways blocked. Guadalajara looked like a city under siege yesterday after the Mexican army killed “El Mencho,” the feared leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel and one of the most wanted criminals on the planet. The White House has said the U.S. had a hand in the operation, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirming American intelligence support played a role. How much did U.S. pressure push Mexico to act? And with El Mencho gone, what happens next? NBC News Senior White House Correspondent Gabe Gutierrez joins us to discuss. And the world is pushing back against President Trump’s latest tariff escalation, with Europe leading the charge. The European Union has suspended a trade deal signed with the U.S. just last summer, citing what it calls an increasingly unpredictable American negotiating partner. The pause follows a rapid-fire week of trade whiplash. NBC News Business and Data Correspondent Brian Cheung breaks down how wide this trade fight could spread, and why there might not be as much fallout for global markets.

What Progress Means for Iran Talks and Why China is Banking on the Fire Horse Feb 17, 2026

Show notes

The U.S. and Iran were back at the negotiating table for a second round of nuclear talks, even as tensions outside the room continue to rise. These negotiations come after Iran’s deadly crackdown over the nationwide uprising, where over 7,000 people were killed, according to the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency. NBC News Digital’s international editor and reporter Babak Dehghanpisheh joins the pod to break down whether these talks are a genuine off-ramp from conflict in the shadow of possible escalation. And in China, hundreds of millions of people are on the move for the Lunar New Year, the world’s largest annual migration. The holiday blends family reunions, gift-giving and a massive travel surge, with consumers expected to spend more than $140 billion on trips, meals and presents. NBC News Correspondent Janis Makey Frayer joins the pod to talk about how Chinese officials are banking on a burst of consumer spending to jump-start an economy losing steam. And what better time to do it than the Year of the Fire Horse, a symbol of raw energy, bold risk and big swings.

Plus, Olympic gold medalist Elana Meyers Taylor joins us to talk about motherhood and the monobob, and we remember a Civil Rights icon, Rev. Jesse Jackson.

But is his renovation fever really “unprecedented”? NBC Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent Andrea Mitchell and NBC News Presidential Historian Michael Beschloss join us for a special President’s Day episode.

Show notes

As Israel and Gaza enter the second phase of the U.S.-brokered peace plan, the authority over Palestinian-controlled land continues to be a key dispute. In the West Bank, Israel just expanded its enforcement authority over land use and planning in areas run by the Palestinian Authority, lifting long-standing restrictions on land sales to Israeli Jews in what some critics are calling a “de facto annexation.” NBC News Foreign Correspondent Matt Bradley explains what this means for people in the region, a potential two-state solution and the future of an Israel-Palestinian peace deal. Plus, social media companies are on trial in California and New Mexico over separate claims that the platforms are harming children. New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez, who brought the state’s case against Meta over claims of sexual exploitation on Instagram and Facebook, explains what regulation is needed to protect kids online.
