We begin the show with a discussion of our broken healthcare system and just how much more broken it is going to become in the next four years. Then we speak to climate expert Jenny Rowland-Shea of the Center for American Progress about Trump's attempts to roll back Biden's progress on climate policy, and then we are joined by Veteran Rich Ojeda to discuss recent and upcoming cuts to the VA and various other administrative attacks on our soldiers.

Trump and his goons are dismantling our government as quickly as they can, and Democrats can't seem to find a way to stop them. There may not be a way to stop them. And the economy is starting to buckle as a result. We speak with Scott Paul of The Alliance for American Manufacturing about the coming economic troubles, and we also speak to former GOP Congressman Bob Ney about how Congress could stop or at least slow down the destruction if only the GOP cared at all about the working families who are about to experience some serious hardship at the hands of Musk and the DOGE children.

President Musk, who no one voted for, is now tearing through your IRS file, accessing every little detail of your financial life and weaponizing the parts that can hurt you. And an American population that would never allow such a thing 20 years ago is now just sitting back and watching it all happen. We discuss this and more with Reporter Sarah Burris of Raw Story.

While the corrupt Trump Administration is busy doing corrupt things for corrupt ends, it's beginning to look like Democrats may just start fighting back. California Congressman Ro Khanna joins us to discuss what this fight might look like, and how we might just be able to keep Trump and his minions from acting on the worst of their impulses.

Politicians have always been celebrities in some way, but the rise of Trumpism has elevated that celebrity status to cult worship, which is not something Americans typically embrace. We need to get back to treating our politics like we used to, as a means to get what all Americans need. And the evils of Trumpism have convinced many of us to look for saviors instead of seeing politicians for what they are … tools. Scott Paul of The Alliance for American Manufacturing is our guest on today's program.

Well ... there just no good way to say this. America is falling apart, our government is being dismantled, and your personal information is probably in the hands of a 19 year-old Musk disciple with no security clearance who uses the online handle "Big Balls". That last sentence may just be the most depressing thing we've ever written, but it's true. Jeff Hauser of The Revolving Door Project and former OSHA Deputy Assistant Secretary Jordan Barab are our guests.

Trump and his allies feed into our worst impulses, attacking vulnerable people and playing on our indifference towards those we consider "not us." It's an old trick, and it never doesn't work. So it should surprise no one that while Trump and Musk are deporting American citizens and trampling on our freedoms, their approval numbers are actually going up. Former GOP Congressman Bob Ney and Reporter Sarah Burris are with us to discuss.

During the campaign, Trump and the Republicans ran on promises of lower prices for Americans. Now, only a few weeks into his term, Trump has raised the price of just about everything. For example, Waffle House is now charging an additional fifty cents per egg sold just to cover the rising costs. Today's guests will help us understand how Trump and his cronies can lie so always and seemingly never be held accountable.

Now that Trump has begun his destruction of our system of government, it's time to talk about what this will mean for working families. First we speak to Phil Glover of AFGE, the union for federal employees, about the mass firing that Trump is attempting and how working people can fight back, and then we speak with former OSHA Deputy Secretary Jordan Barab about the number of Americans who die in the workplace, and how many of those deaths go entirely unreported. The numbers will shock you.
