The America-Venezuela conflict escalates as the Department of Homeland Security TikTok-ifies the seizing of an oil tanker, and Trump can't resist taking credit for the "Captain Phillips" moment. Also, the State Department bans the font Calibri for being "too woke", and Michael Kosta unpacks the new beef between conservatives and the font's creator. This Christmas, gather round from all sides of the political spectrum for the holiday rom-com "Oh, Trolly Night!". Watch online enemies and unlikely lovers come together to find out the answer to the question: Can love Trump hate? Paleoclimatologist at The Ohio State University Lonnie Thompson sits down with Michael Kosta to discuss his groundbreaking work collecting ice cores in tropical glaciers – the subject of the film "Canary," which is available to stream for free on YouTube over the holidays.
