The US Can't Survive 3 More Years of Donald Trump Authoritarianism With Scott Lucas

Donald Trump has caused international chaos as the US kidnapped Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro and has set his eyes on Greenland.Joining Ali and Zoe to try make sense of this break down in international order is Professor of International Studies at the Clinton Institute in Dublin, and founder of the EA WorldView, Scott Lucas.Beyond the international chaos, the three discuss internal struggles as well. ICE (Immigration Customs Enforcement) shot Renee Nicole Good, in her car in Minnesota. They claimed that she attempted to run over ICE officers but videos of the incident suggest she was attempting to drive away."What has happened to my country" says Scott Lucas as he outlines the increasing divide in the US. A Fox news host highlighting that Renee Nicole Good, the woman killed, has “pronouns in her bio” and “leaves behind a lesbian partner and a child from a previous marriage”. JD Vance on Twitter described her as a “deranged leftist”.On Greenland, the three outlines the weak response from the UK and other European countries:Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has since warned that, in the event of a US invasion of the territory, "everything stops… including NATO"."It makes absolutely no sense to ⁠talk about the US needing to take over Greenland."The US has no right to annex any of the three countries in ​the Danish Kingdom."I would therefore strongly urge the ‌US to stop the threats against a historically close ally and against another country and another people, who have very clearly ​said that they are not for sale."Responding, Sir Keir told Sky News: "I stand with her. She's right about the future of Greenland.""Denmark is a close European ally, a close NATO ally. And the future therefore has to be for Greenland, for the Kingdom of Denmark, and only for Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark."In the week unwrapped Ali and Zoe discuss the backlash to Elon Musk's X Ai Grok unconsensually undressing women, even minors on the platform. Keir Starmer has responded to Elon Musk's inaction describing the issue as “disgraceful, it’s disgusting and it’s not to be tolerated. X has got to get a grip of this”.
