Topic: Third World War

Donald Trump's closing argument focused on the theme of a "failing nation" and the risk of a third world war due to current foreign policy. He questioned why Kamala Harris has not implemented her proposed plans during her three and a half years in office. Despite media narratives of a Harris win, historical data from the 2016 Clinton campaign suggests that debate performance does not always correlate with election outcomes.

Pope Francis describes the Paris attacks as a "piece" of a "Third World War" fought "piece by piece" (a pezzi). The hosts compare the Pope's assessment to their own long-standing thesis on global conflict. They also briefly mention Bernie Sanders' attempt to link terrorism to global warming, contrasting it with the Vatican's more direct military framing.
