Summary

Michael Kosta breaks down Trump's Department of War, a.k.a. the new billion-dollar nickname for the Department of Defense, and Josh Johnson is hyped up for the president to go to war with America's biggest enemy: America. Thanks to Trump, Canadian tourism is way down, with many citizens scared to visit the U.S. So Jordan Klepper visits the city of Burlington, VT, to see just how desperate Vermonters are to win back the Canucks and drink some beer. Michael Grunwald, award-winning journalist and bestselling author of "We Are Eating the Earth: The Race to Fix Our Food System," sits down with Michael to discuss how agriculture is our biggest climate issue. They discuss the deforestation caused by pasture for cattle, how to make more calories on less acreage, the meat and energy alternatives providing hope, and how to maintain appreciation for farmers while searching for a better way.
