The DMZ
On The DMZ, Matt explains why the right isn’t rallying to defend Chris Christie during the bridge scandal. Bill thinks the story highlights that electability is a thin reed on which to base a presidential candidacy. They note that ruthlessness is often rewarded in politics, but only if you get away with it. Next, Matt argues that the right has something important to learn from MSNBC. Do conservatives have a soft spot for monarchies? Plus: On Bob Gates’s new memoir, Bill says we should consider history’s long view.

Foreign Entanglements
On a special year-in-review edition of Foreign Entanglements, Matt and Rob examine the biggest foreign policy stories in 2013, starting with the NSA revelations. They consider the lack of US intervention in Syria and the amazingly fast change in America’s relationship with Iran. The Afghanistan War has become incredibly unpopular—so why does no one in Washington seem to care? Will the coming 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War change foreign policy views? Was 2013 the year that the GOP finally turned against neoconservatism? Finally, the real issue: whether it’s permissible to have both a lemon twist and olives in a martini.

The DMZ
On The DMZ Year-End Holiday Spectacular, Bill and Matt discuss what they got wrong in the past year. Was President Obama a winner or a loser in 2013? What about the GOP presidential contenders? They discuss the journalists who had a great year (Robert Costa, Glenn Greenwald), and those who did not (Martin Bashir, Megyn Kelly). Taking a bold stand, Matt maintains that Die Hard is not a Christmas movie. Plus: What are the best Christmas movies to watch with young kids?
