Greenland has enjoyed some unusual time in the spotlight. Earlier this month, President Donald Trump said he wanted to buy the mostly frozen island. Today we have an exclusive interview with Greenland’s foreign minister to Washington, Inuuteq Holm Olsen. Daniel had the chance to speak with Olsen earlier this summer about the historic ties between the U.S. and Greenland and what a closer relationship could mean. Plus: We talk about what a new poll says about the shift in American values.

We also cover these stories:

• President Trump discusses having talks with Iran.

• Trump says he is an "environmentalist" when asked about climate change.

• Rep. Sean Duffy, R-Wis., is resigning, announcing that he wants to spend more time with family after discovering his unborn ninth child has a heart condition.

Opening Arguments - OA309: Can Stormy Daniels Bring Down Hope Hicks?

Today's episode is one you've requested for a while now: revisiting perhaps America's greatest legal mind, Stormy Daniels. This time, we'll learn how the Stormy saga has gotten Hope Hicks to (almost certainly) have her lawyers lie to Congress... and we'll figure out what that means for the future.

First, though, we take a look at some impressive research on the Roberts Court that was put together by Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse -- hi, Sen. Whitehouse! We know you're listening! -- and the amicus brief it inspired. You know just how bad this Supreme Court is... but only Sen. Whitehouse has quantified it for you. And yes, that makes it much, much worse.

After that, it's time for the main segment, in which we head back to Yodel Mountain to examine Hope Hicks's transparently false statements to Congress. How can we prove they're false? It's all thanks to Stormy Daniels, of course! Andrew wades through hundreds of pages of affidavit testimony in connection with the Michael Cohen search warrants to prove that Hicks's claim that she didn't know anything about the hush money paid to Stormy Daniels definitely does not hold water.

Then, it's time for the conclusion to the fabulous Banana Law #T3BE! Did Thomas get it right? Listen and find out!

Appearances

None! If you’d like to have either of us as a guest on your show, drop us an email at openarguments@gmail.com.

Show Notes & Links

You should definitely read the comprehensive Supreme Court report prepared by Sen. Whitehouse for the ACS, and also read the amicus brief he (and others) filed in the New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass'n v. New York case.
As everyone knows, we first broke the Stormy Daniels story in Episode 154, "Stormy Daniels is a Legal Genius." And she still is!
Then, we told you that Hope Hicks is the key to all of this in Episode 259 when we examined the Congressional investigations. We predicted that she will be compelled to testify in Episode 290.
We covered the release of the Cohen documents in Episode 298.
Finally, click here to read Rep. Nadler's letter to Hope Hicks, and here to read her (non-truthful) reply.

The Gist - What’s in a Face, Anyway?

On The Gist, Trump is a bad negotiator.

In the interview, you’ve probably heard of face blindness. And you possibly wondered whether it was a real thing. Do some people really walk the world, full of other people as it is, without the ability to recognize them from their features? They do. Sadie Dingfelder shared her experience over at the Washington Post, and does so now on The Gist.

In the Spiel, the Everything Is Alive tariff-a-thon.

Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - Lightfoot’s First 100 Days Fast Approaching. How’s She Doing?

When Lori Lightfoot campaigned for Mayor of Chicago, she talked about rooting out corruption, making government more transparent, including communities in discussions about how to make better policy, and having an all-around more equitable city that works for everyone. 3 key members of her transition teams talk about how they’ve done so far, and the work that still needs to be done to keep those promises.

Then, the trend was to tear down Englewood in order to save it. The problem is, nothing has gone into those empty spaces. So what’s the plan? What do the residents want? And how can neighbors and the city bring new housing and investment to the neighborhood?
