About this episode

President-elect Donald Trump refuses to rule out using military or economic action to take Greenland and the Panama Canal. Meta ditches its U.S. fact-checking program and loosens restrictions on discussions around hot topics. And Jean-Marie Le Pen, founder of France’s post-war far right, has died.
