Summary

Former almost-president Al Gore issued a stark warning about the consequences of not acting to clean up the Earth’s atmosphere, and Republican Senator Josh Hawley made a laughable claim at a meeting of conservatives last weekend. Maryland Congressman Jamie Raskin returns to The Late Show for a three part interview that begins with a reminder that autocrats and dictators around the world are working together to subvert democratic institutions and ideals, and likens the former president to a mafia boss, who often succeeds at evading prosecution but could be taken down by the Department of Justice and the investigative work of the Jan 6 Committee.
