This Time Trump Knows What He’s Doing | Political Gabfest

This week, Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz discuss President Trump’s flurry of executive orders on the federal workforce and immigration; the sweeping January 6 pardons; and the overtly symbolic elements of Trump’s second presidential inauguration.
For this week’s Slate Plus bonus segment, Emily and David go behind the scenes with John to discuss his new post as co-anchor for the CBS Evening News.
In the latest Gabfest Reads, Emily talks with Yael van der Wouden about her novel, The Safekeep.
