James and Al outline the dangers of Donald Trump’s loyalist cabinet appointments and the risk to the military’s chain of command before welcoming journalist Michael Tomasky. They discuss the dominance of right-wing media, the rise of podcasts, the triumph of misinformation over facts, and how to save journalism. They also outline the catastrophic effect of identity politics, draw comparisons between the upcoming Trump administration and Viktor Orbán’s Hungary, emphasize the need to pick the right battles, and explore the ability of the Senate to act as a check on its political power.
