Summary
Desi Lydic covers conservative media's support for Trump's Greenland invasion idea, Trump blaming Gavin Newsom for the LA wildfires, and Trump's plans for pardoning the Jan. 6 insurrectionists. Josh Johnson hits the street to hear from real New Yorkers about the controversial new congestion pricing toll.
Founding president of the American Institute for Boys and Men and “Of Boys and Men” author, Richard Reeves, sits down with Desi to initiate a national conversation about the issues facing America’s young men. They discuss creating a space for dialogue about men’s issues without blaming women, how the phrase “toxic masculinity” pushes men from productive conversation, increasing the amount of men in teaching and mental healthcare, and how Trump acknowledged men’s issues but encouraged America to move backward.

| 1:09.0 | but he's already causing chaos for free. |
| 1:11.6 | What a workaholic. |
| 1:13.7 | As you've probably heard, Trump has decided that his first big policy proposal will be buying or perhaps invading Greenland. |
| 1:21.3 | It's the kind of nonsense no one should take seriously, but Trump said it, so I guess we're all doing this. |
| 1:29.3 | It would be exciting that Greenland was part of the United States. I think that the people of Greenland should be honored. |
| 1:33.3 | This to me could be Donald Trump's Louisiana purchase. |
| 1:36.3 | Same size as the Louisiana purchase in square miles. |
| 1:40.3 | Greenland, strategically, it makes sense because it's the halfway point between our country and the UK. |
