Smerconish on CNN

Will Trump's January 6th Pardons Backfire?

Listen Later

CNN's Michael Smerconish examines the potential political risk behind President Trump's pardon for all defendants in the January 6th insurrection. Then, David Urban and Paul Begala join Smerconish to breakdown President Trump's first week back in office and his response to the nation's recent natural disasters. After that, Brad Meltzer, co-author of the New York Times Best Seller "The JFK Conspiracy," details in his new book a lesser-known 1960 assassination plot against John F. Kennedy before he started his presidential term. Lastly, Michael Oren, a former Israeli Ambassador to the U.S., applauds the release of additional Israeli hostages but warns that freeing convicted terrorists through negotiations with Hamas will only incentivize kidnapping more hostages.
