Summary

Conservatives amp up their mission to MAGA-fy America by overshadowing Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance with Turning Point USA’s own D-list halftime show, and Michael Kosta connects the dots between Trump’s call for Republicans to "nationalize" voting and the president's never-ending claim that the 2020 election was stolen. Plus, Troy Iwata explains why Trump’s pitch to cancel the midterms is peak comedy. With Amazon’s $40 million documentary about the first lady premiering at the Trump Kennedy Center, Jordan Klepper ventured to Washington, D.C., where he chatted with attendees about director Brett Ratner’s appearance in the Epstein files, whether the film’s purchase was a bribe, and why THIS is what our country should be focused on right now — not Minneapolis. Amazon rainforest conservationist, wildlife filmmaker, and author Paul Rosolie talks to Michael about his latest book, “Junglekeeper: What It Takes to Change the World.” They discuss how Rosolie’s quest for adventure led him to the wilderness of the Amazon rainforest and the importance of preserving an ecosystem that produces one-fifth of the world’s fresh water and oxygen and is home to ancient trees that have acted as “skyscrapers of life” to thousands of species for over a millennium. He describes how the organization he founded, Junglekeepers, works with indigenous communities to protect the Amazon, how his historic encounter with a previously uncontacted tribe is a result of deforestation pressuring them out of seclusion, and how people worldwide can take actions big and small to help conservation efforts.
