Trump's Indefensible Pardons

Fri, 24 Jan 2025

Description

Donald Trump makes good on his promise to free the January 6 rioters—including those convicted of savage violence against police officers—calling the attacks "very minor incidents" in a primetime interview with Sean Hannity, and saying it would be too "cumbersome" to review individual defendants' records. Jon and Dan react to the pardons, the expansive list of executive orders that Trump signed this week, the prospects for his cabinet picks, and how Democrats are doing in their efforts to push back. Then, Dan talks to progressive strategist Faiz Shakir about his bid for DNC Chair and where he wants to steer the party. For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Yeah, it does make sense that there would be a valve in Northern California that you open. It's just a button.

They're able to do that by partnering directly with top factories, cutting out the cost of the middleman and passing the savings on to you. Quince only works with factories that use safe, ethical and responsible manufacturing practices. And of course, they use premium fabrics and finishes for that luxury feel in every piece. Quince is great. They got fantastic clothes.

We hear Donald Trump multiple times a day. Is that strategy? Is that just what he wants? Because he wants to be the country's host for the next four years? Or is there any risk to that for him?

2464.089 - 2468.011 Jon Favreau

I guess there's no risk to anything because he's fucking... He's immune. He's president.

2468.031 - 2473.493 Dan Pfeiffer

That's it. He wins. He's not running for, he doesn't have to run again and he's immune for prosecution. So yeah, there's very little risk.
