Episode 89
Jen Psaki outlines the lessons to be learned from Matt Gaetz's short-lived ride as Donald Trump's pick for attorney general, including why the media is more important than ever in the cabinet vetting process with an incoming administration that is reportedly forgoing FBI background checks. Jen is joined by Representative Jamie Raskin to discuss Trump naming Pam Bondi as his new nominee for attorney general and the crucial questions she should be asked as the public gets to know her. Next, Jen is joined by investigative reporter Michael Isikoff to discuss his new reporting on Tulsi Gabbard's 2017 trip to Syria that he says was essentially a "propaganda coup" for Bashar al-Assad's regime. Later, Former White House Counsel Bob Bauer joins Jen to offer perspective on the importance of thoroughly vetting nominees and why a lax investigative process could put America's security at risk. Finally, Jen breaks down the sexual assault allegations against Defense Secretary pick Pete Hegseth as the GOP rushes to his defense, and the concerning example that sets for survivors in our country. Jen is joined by Representative Mike Sherrill to react to Hegseth's view that women shouldn't be allowed to serve in combat roles and why these comments should be disqualifying.
