Joel Pollak Reports from the Palisades Fire and Helen Thompson Discusses the Fall of Europe's Car Industry

This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, Chuck and Sam are joined by Joel Pollak, Senior Editor-at-Large at Breitbart News, calling in live from the heart of the Palisades fire zone. They explore the facts surrounding the Palisades fire and discuss a question from Joel's recent post on X: "To repeat: if you want to believe that the California wildfires were caused by climate change, I'm not going to argue with you. But I am going to ask why the people whom we elected, who also believe that climate change is a threat, did absolutely nothing to prepare for the risk."

Later, Helen Thompson, Professor of Political Economy at the University of Cambridge and co-host of These Times, examines how Europe's short-sighted policies gave China dominance in the car industry and the implications for the global economy. Finally, don't miss Kiley's Corner, where she delivers a chilling update on the deadly Christmas cake and the tragic story of an Ohio woman killed by her neighbor's livestock pigs.
