Day One: Trump Signs Executive Orders, Pardons Jan. 6 Defendants on Inauguration Day

Amid Trump's inauguration and a flurry of executive orders, Jen Psaki explains why the next four years will be defined by the tension between how Trump sees his power and what he can actually do with that power. Jen is joined by Senator Adam Schiff to discuss President Trump's pardons of hundreds of January 6 defendants, including some of the worst offenders. Next, Jen is joined by Former Senator Claire McCaskill and Former SDNY Attorney Preet Bharara to discuss those pardons and the dangerous precedent they set for the rule of law in this country. Then, Jen is joined by Senator Chris Murphy to discuss the dangerous oligarchy of tech billionaires surrounding Trump, the implications for access to factual information, and the future of TikTok. Later, Jen is joined by Jacob Soboroff to explain Trump's policy plans on immigration as he begins a second term, including his vow to end birthright citizenship. Finally, in light of the death of former Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards, Jen reflects on some important takeaways from her powerful legacy.
