Summary
Robin breaks down Trump's Greenland obsession and the threat of military action against our own NATO allies. Eight European countries are getting tariffs because they won't help us invade Denmark. When Emmanuel Macron is comparing you to Putin, maybe it's time to reassess.
Meanwhile, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins (net worth: $15 million) wants you to know you can feed yourself for $3...just eat one piece of chicken, one piece of broccoli, one tortilla, and "one other thing." Groceries are up $310 per year for American families, but have you tried eating less? Marie Antoinette energy.
In Minneapolis, over 2,500 people have been arrested in the largest ICE operation in American history. Schools are closed. The National Guard is mobilized. Masked federal agents operate without ID. And on January 7th, ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed 37-year-old Renée Nicole Good...a mother of three, poet, and school board member. She was called a "domestic terrorist" within hours. ICE blocked a physician from helping her as she died. Now the DOJ is investigating her widow, not the shooter. Six federal prosecutors have resigned in protest.
Also covered: Trump "joking" about canceling elections, the Department of Labor posting Nazi-adjacent slogans, the Insurrection Act being threatened against American protesters, a death in ICE custody ruled likely homicide, and why 31 Nobel laureates just warned that "the signs of fascism are here."
Plus: why three Yale historians who study fascism for a living just moved to Canada, and what it means when a new Democracy Index says we've "slid well into authoritarianism."

| 0:00.0 | So let me get this straight. We have the money to threaten military invasion of Denmark, a NATO ally, because we want to buy Greenland and they won't sell. |
| 0:09.2 | We have the money for tariffs on eight European countries as punishment for saying, hey, maybe don't do imperialism. |
| 0:15.6 | We have the money for the largest ice operation in American history, with mass federal agents flooding Minneapolis, |
| 0:22.5 | the National Guards mobilized, and the president is threatening the Insurrection Act |
| 0:27.4 | against American citizens. We have the money for the $50,000 signing bonuses to recruit new |
| 0:33.0 | deportation officers, plus 60,000 in student loan forgiveness, plus 25% bonus pay, and enhanced |
| 0:40.0 | retirement. They're literally recruiting military veterans and retired cops with return-to-mission |
| 0:45.8 | incentives just to come terrorize American cities. The groceries? The Agriculture Secretary, |
| 0:52.6 | by the way, net worth $15 million, says that you can eat a |
| 0:56.6 | piece of chicken, one piece of broccoli, and a single corn tortilla. Oh, also one other thing, for $3. |
| 1:04.8 | So we can pay people six figures and bonuses to kick down doors, but you need to figure out |
| 1:10.6 | how to feed your family |
| 1:11.6 | on $3. Meanwhile, a federal agent shot Renee Good in the head while she was trying to drive away. |
| 1:17.8 | We recently learned that a physician tried to step into help. I said, I don't care, |
| 1:22.5 | and blocked him. She was still alive. She had a pulse, even to faint, and they let her die. And now, the DOJ isn't |
| 1:31.1 | investigating the shooter. They're investigating her widow, her governor, her mayor. The only person |
| 1:37.7 | not being investigated there is the guy who actually pulled the trigger. 31 Nobel laureates |
| 1:43.4 | also just signed a letter saying the signs of fascism are here. |
| 1:47.1 | Three Yale historians who studied this for a living just moved to Canada. |
| 1:51.6 | A new democracy index just released said that we've slid into authoritarianism. |
| 1:56.0 | But sure, just tell me that I'm being dramatic. |
| 1:59.1 | Welcome to the fucking golden age of America. |
