The ”Climate Crisis to Xenophobia” Doom Loop (+ the Fox News Cabinet)

In this episode, Alex gives some updates regarding the “Fox News Cabinet” that Trump is assembling like a sad excuse for the Avengers. He focuses on Dr. Oz who was picked to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Serivices. He also talks about Sean Duffy (a reality star and lumberjack) who was tapped to lead the Transportation Department, and much more. Alex also is fascinated by Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough heading to Mar-a-Lago to meet with Trump after calling him Hitler for years. For the remainder of the episode, Alex discusses what he calls the “Climate Emergency to Xenophobia Doom Loop.” He talks about how climate policy failures will lead to a larger migrant exodus from impacted countries, while at the same time, domestic policies will be radical and less welcoming. Alex worries that Trump will demogague this issue while ignoring the root issues.
