Unanimous Dissent

Members of Congress are declaring there is a “Constitutional Crisis” in the wake of Trump’s Executive Order banning Syrian refugees and travelers from six majority-Muslim nations in the world. We breakdown the chaos of the weekend.

And, it’s not just protests at airports around the country that are capturing the unrest toward President Trump’s executive order. So, too, are dissent memos coming out of the State Department. Trump’s own administration is already turning on him. That story coming up later.

Also, we’re going to get Donald Trump’s first Supreme Court nomination soon….and that could be paired with some uncharacteristic courage from Democrats. Some Senate Dems are already threatening to give Trump’s pick the Merrick Garland treatment. We’ll tell you who, later in the show.

With the Trump presidency comes several power struggles. The White House versus the intelligence agencies. The intelligence agencies versus themselves. And the White House versus themselves. We chat with Alternet’s Washington Correspondent, and author, Jefferson Morley about it all.

Plus, the first full week of the Trump Presidency means we have a full Garbage Can line-up today. From high ranking officials to an angry traveller, we run-down the worst of the worst in humanity this week. Stick around until the very end because you won’t want to miss who goes in…..the Garbage Can.

Mystery solved! We know where Trump got the idea of millions voting illegally in the last election. It was from a German golfer. No joke.

Also there’s a very real assault on the Freedom of the Press underway during these early days of the Trump administration: the jailing of journalists. Oddly though, mainstream news media outlets are hesitant to even cover the story. We talk with media writer Adam Johnson about it later in the show.

And, the Labor Department released data today, which gives us a better picture of the Obama administration legacy; specifically, why it lead to President Donald Trump. We’ll explain later, in a People’s Bulletin.

Trump’s cabinet nominees are sailing through the Senate, and you can thank Democrats for it. Can the Democratic Party really lead the resistance to Trump when it approves all of his nominees.

Coming up, DC is still recovering from inauguration, Disrupt J20 and the Women’s March. We sift through the wreckage with our favorite local reporter. DCist’s Rachel Kurzius stops in, to chat about the inaugural clean-up.

And with the stroke of his pen, President Donald Trump gave a big F-you to tens of thousands of environmentalists that worked to defeat pipeline projects like Keystone XL and DAPL. We’ll break down the latest executive orders that could leave the planet even more vulnerable to climate change

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer had press briefing number two on Monday. It was his first time facing the press since Saturday when he uttered five lies in five minutes about Trump’s inauguration attendance.

Trumponomics are shaping up, as the President discussed his plans for the US economy, this morning, before a meeting with a dozen CEOs. We’ll let you know what Trump said, and what the reaction was, later in the show.

Also, Trump had to have known this was coming. He’s been in office just a few days and he’s already facing a lawsuit alleging he’s in violation of the US Constitution. It’s that pesky emoluments clause. We’ll discuss the lawsuit and the possible release of Trump’s tax returns later.

Coming up, dissent and pepper gas clogged the streets and air of DC, today. We couldn’t leave the content factory, but we chat to two people who were there. The Street Fight Radio Boys….Brett Pain and Bryan Quinby….join us.

Also, just because it’s inauguration day doesn’t mean we’re not taking out the trash. Our Garbage Can will be in studio. Our Garbage Candidates will be named...and one of them will get tossed in. Stick around until the end of the show to find out who.

A new report outlines massive cuts to the federal government, including critical programs run out of the Departments of Justice and State. Even the National Endowment of the Arts might get the axe. Also, Rick Perry said he regrets calling for the elimination of the Energy Department, which he will soon be heading up.

Muh-NUTCH-en? Munchkin? M’nuchhhin. Well, his confirmation hearing was today and we can confirm it's Steve Mnuchin (hard “CH). That’s how it’s pronounced. Anyway, Trump’s pick to be next Treasury Secretary had anything but a smooth hearing. We fill you in on the drama, which included one senator offering another some benzos. Bring enough for the whole class, Sen. Roberts?

Also, keeping up with our show’s theme of dissent---we break down another inauguration event planned for Friday for those who want to protest Donald Trump by occupying Washington, DC. Activist and Miss New Jersey, Sameera Khan joins us on the show later to talk about it.

As Trump’s nominees get grilled on Capitol Hill, President Obama speaks to the press once last time, and lays out scenarios in which he might get back involved in politics.

Coming up…Trump’s pick for Secretary of State, if confirmed, will be overseeing a department that the oil conglomerate he used to run has relied on to advance its business interests. Oil and water might be kept separate, but oil and diplomacy are certainly not. The Intercept’s Lee Fang joins us to discuss the issue.

Also, we talk with Abe Marquez, one of the organizers behind a massive rally set to take place in Washington, DC on Inauguration Day to protest the incoming administration. All the details of that coming up for those who want to actually resist instead of just adding the word “resist” to the Twitter pics...We see you, Neera.

Some late breaking news regarding Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning. President Obama has decided to commute her sentence.

Also, Inauguration woes continue for the President-elect, as Trump can’t even get cover bands to perform at the ceremony. But the bigger headache for the Donald? His ongoing dust-up with ethics watchdogs.

And writer Eoin Higgins joins us later to talk about a cornucopia of stories that surround the President-Elect: from how he and Republicans will go about repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act to how mainstream news agencies are preparing to cover the Trump era. And if you’re still not sold in this upcoming interview, then...ok, fine...we’re going to talk about the Golden Showers memo, too.

The Chicago Police Department becomes the latest police force reviewed by the Department of Justice. We’ll go over some of the disturbing findings in the report.

You might feel like you’re in the grips of a cartel, every time you take an airplane. And with good cause--80 percent of the airline industry is controlled by four companies. But President Obama’s Justice Department concluded otherwise, we’ll explain, in just a bit, in our people’s Bulletin.

Plus, we’re gonna chat with Ryan Cooper from The Week, about President Obama’s legacy, and on a completely unrelated note, we’ll throw someone in the garbage can...since it’s Friday and all.
