Iran, Greenland, And Trump's Ego

What A Day

About this episode

In Iran, weeks of protests against the ruling regime have resulted in the deaths of thousands of protestors at the hands of the government. The Trump Administration has voiced its full-throated support for the protestors, with President Trump even claiming, “help is on its way.” Meanwhile, in Greenland, Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen joined Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen in a joint news conference to say, again, Greenland does not want to be a part of the United States. But, of course, the President wants to annex Greenland anyway. So to talk more about President Trump’s continued desire to stick his nose in other countries’ business, we talked to Ben Rhodes. He’s the former U.S. deputy national security advisor under the Obama Administration and the co-host of Crooked Media’s Pod Save the World.

And in headlines, federal data shows roughly 800,000 fewer people have signed up for ACA individual health plans than at this time last year, net migration in the U.S. likely hit close to zero in 2025, and Elon Musk’s controversial AI bot, Grok, finds a new home inside… the Pentagon?
