Michael Kosta dives into today's headlines: a surprisingly modest manifesto from suspected United Healthcare CEO shooter Luigi Mangione, Trump appoints Kimberly Guilfoyle as Ambassador to Greece, and Pete Hegseth promises to stop drinking, but only if he can control the Pentagon. On Thanksgiving, President Biden pardoned two turkeys and his son Hunter, sparking a conversation about who else may need a "get out of jail free" card. Grace Kuhlenschmidt interviews New Yorkers about who they'd pardon and whether they need one themselves. "I've always thought of organized crime not as some fringe aspect of American culture, but as the main vein of American culture." Journalist and bestselling author T.J. English talks to Michael Kosta about his latest book, "The Last Kilo," which chronicles the rise and fall of the American cocaine empire built by Willy Falcon. They talk about Falcon's original intention to fund Cuban revolutionaries with the money from the drug operation, the "war on drugs," and the benefits of learning about American culture through the lens of organized crime.
