Susan Glasser highlights the danger of Trump as a "lame duck" and his potential for imperialist actions, such as pursuing the acquisition of Greenland, driven by a desire for historical legacy. The conversation shifts to domestic issues, including the execution-style shooting in Minneapolis and the militarized response by CBP and ICE. Jacob Soboroff discusses the escalating ICE enforcement and its impact on immigrant communities, drawing a connection to the recovery efforts from wildfires in California. He also touches on the role of misinformation and conspiracy theories in exacerbating the challenges posed by these disasters.
