Synopsis

Trump spent the weekend celebrating Thanksgiving the traditional way: abusing reporters, calling Tim Walz the R-word, and bragging about his "perfect" MRI score. Plus, while the president spins a National Guard shooting for his anti-immigrant agenda, Jon Stewart slams the double standard of criminal justice for immigrants and J6 insurrectionists. Pulitzer Prize-winning author and staff writer at The New Yorker, Elizabeth Kolbert, sits down with Jon Stewart to discuss her latest book, "Life on a Little-Known Planet: Dispatches from a Changing World." They talk about matching the awareness of climate problems with an effort for change, humans wasting 10,000 years of "climate stability" by inventing ways to disrupt it, the Trump administration's climate policy regression, and how developing countries are reaping both financial and environmental gains by leaning into clean energy.
