2025 - 1: Episode 1

Jen Psaki dives into the drama filled re-election of speaker Mike Johnson, and how aggressive moves by the Democrats could be the key to regaining power down the line. She is joined by James Carville to discuss what Democrats got wrong in November and where to go from here. Next, Jen is joined by Representative Jim Clyburn for a wide-ranging interview, including his thoughts ahead of the four-year anniversary of the violent January 6 insurrection and how Democrats can find common ground with Republicans in the new Congress. Then, legal experts Neal Katyal and Andrew Weissmann join the show to discuss Judge Merchan's orders for Donald Trump to be sentenced in his hush money case and why Merchan signaled that he will not be sentencing Trump to jail time. Later, Jen breaks down the GOP's attempts to falsely tie the New Orleans terrorist attack to the border and how it reveals their larger goal of stoking fears as groundwork for their extreme immigration policies. Finally, Jen is joined by former DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano to discuss the latest updates on the Bourbon Street attack and how Trump's disinformation distracts from the real investigative efforts being conducted by law enforcement.
