  • The Sunday Show With Jonathan Capehart: February 9, 2025
    Feb 10 2025

    On this week's episode of 'The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart': Battling the Bromance. President Trump sings the praises of First Buddy Elon Musk in a new interview but Democrats at every level are fighting back, most effectively in the courts. I'll ask Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford about his recent legal victory and the stunning reaction from Vice President JD Vance. Then, I'll ask Rep. Becca Balint of the Budget Committee just how far Democrats are willing to go to stop the Trump-Musk agenda -- even if it means a government shutdown. Protest Vought: Russell Vought, Trump's Budget Director and key architect of Project 2025, is also now the acting head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and already taking steps to undermine it. Rep. Maxine Waters, ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee, is not happy about any of this and she will tell us why. And, Oh Canada! Prime Minister Justin Trudeau doesn't think Trump's joking about making Canada the 51st state. Why this and Trump's pronouncements on Gaza, Greenland, the Panama Canal and more are detrimental to the global order America helped create, with the Atlantic's Tom Nichols. All that and more on “The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart.”

    On this week's episode of 'The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart': The Resistance.

Joining me are three of the lawmakers helping to lead the charge, Rep. Sara Jacobs, Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove, and Rep. Robert Garcia. Fired Up: Trump's legally dubious buyout offer to 2M government employees is on hold for now, but their future remains in jeopardy. I'll ask Rep. Suhas Subramanyam of Virginia what he's hearing from the thousands of federal workers living in his district. And Trump's Revenge: Jennifer Rubin and Ian Sams are here to talk about Trump's retribution tour, including new reporting from about who the President is banning from intelligence briefings and federal buildings.

    On this week's episode of 'The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart': Trumponomics: President Trump's tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China go into effect Tuesday, with Mexico and Canada planning retaliatory tariffs against the United States. Trump admits they may cause pain for the American consumer but says it will be worth the price. Rep. Suzan DelBene, member of the House Ways and Means Committee, explains the impact of what the Wall Street Journal correctly calls "The Dumbest Trade War in History." Lavender Scare: President Trump has embarked on an assault on LGBTQ Americans not seen since the 1940s and 1950s. His intense focus on transgender Americans is especially galling. I'll talk with Kelley Robinson, president of the Human Rights Campaign, about how to protect the community from attack. The Purge: Trump, with an assist from First Buddy Elon Musk, is making good on his promise to decimate the federal workforce, even if it means breaking security rules. Former Rep. Joe Walsh and Ameshia Cross join me to talk about this assault on our democracy. And Thin ICE: Immigration enforcement is going way beyond undocumented immigrants who've committed violent crimes. Now, protections are being revoked for thousands of legal migrants. A view of the real-world impact with Dara Lind of the American Immigration Council. All that and more on “The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart.”
