LA Fires Sparked By Climate Change

This is a preview of the Patron-only Weekender episode.

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss the effect the fires have had on areas that aren't used to seeing fires like this, and whether climate change is leading to so many recent extreme weather events. But Trump can't stay out of the news, as the money laundering is getting creative as Amazon pays $40 million for the rights to a documentary about Melania no one will watch. They then reflect on the death of Jean-Marie Le Pen, who singlehandedly kept fascism alive in France for decades.
