Vince Beiser

Michael Kosta on the tragic Washington D.C. plane crash and Trump's baseless blame of DEI for the catastrophe. Plus, the Best F**kin' News team breaks down which of Trump's nominees was least qualified at their Senate hearings. Dry January is ending, but Lewis Black can't figure out why it started. From Dry January to Damp January, Lewis Black asks the over-labeled generation why they'd pick the coldest, most chaotic month to go sober in this installment of Back to Black. Journalist and author Vince Beiser sits down with Michael Kosta to discuss the paradox of electric vehicles and renewable energy and his latest book "Power Metal: The Race for the Resources That Will Shape the Future." They talk about how preventing climate change has led to a rush for "critical" metals, how China has dominated the field of mining and manufacturing, the minerals and metals behind Trump's Greenland obsession, recycling electronic waste, and the importance of reusing and repairing gadgets.
