What do we have, Chris? And why are we at home? What's going on? Well, it's Martin Luther King Jr. Day. So that is why we are at home for both personal and also want to always give the crew some time off, much deserved. And we have actually, though, a really big show. I'm sure you guys are aware. |
| 0:55.0 | There is a lot that is breaking in the world right now, this crazy letter from Trump with regard to Greenland. We've got Jeffrey Sachs. Fortunately, in the show this morning, react to that, to talk about Iran, to talk about the Board of Peace, what's going on with Canada, China.

| 1:59.5 | in his interview with Ben Shapiro with regards to Gaza and whether perhaps he is being a bit overhyped as the Democrats potential 2028 nominee. |
| 2:08.6 | Yeah, that's right. Lots in the show. Lots in the show today. So why don't we start here with the global market reaction to the tariffs? Definitely the bigger story, I think, that has happened. And we're talking more with |
| 2:18.6 | Professor Sachs about the context of a lot of the Greenland stuff. But this is after a Trump true |
