Executive Orders ā What Canāt Trump Do?
Harry talks with federal courts and constitutional law expert Steve Vladeck about the hailstorm of Trump executive orders in the first week. Professor Vladeck explains in general terms what executive orders can accomplish and what they canāt. The two then zero in on the orders concerning birthright citizenship, TikTok, and immigration.

"F**k it: Release āem All"
No need to mince words: it was the most damaging week for the constitution, and the Foundersā carefully calibrated system of checks & balances, since at least the Civil War. Trump put into place a series of executive orders & actions that if upheld will expand his power enormously and cut out the legs from most opposition. A great roundtable of Susan Glasser, David Jolly, and Bill Kristol joins Harry to assess the damage and what it portends for degradations of American law, politics, and life.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

āFriday night was the danger zoneā (1-on-1 with Fired Inspector General Mark Greenblatt)
Harry talks with Mark Greenblatt, one of the Inspectors General fired suddenly in the āFriday night purgeā of the vast majority of Senate-confirmed IGās. They discuss the origin, function, and nature of Inspectors General, who have saved taxpayers nearly $700 billion. Greenblatt talks about his own 20-year + service in the IG community, during which he rotated through several agencies and was elected by his peers to lead the IGsā council. Then they zero in on Friday night and exactly what happened before moving to Greenblattās current thoughts about how the IG community, Congress, and country should respond to the purge, and whether and how it is possible to safeguard the paramount goal of oversight with integrity and credibility. Itās the longest and most detailed and nuance discussion with any of the fired IGs, going well beyond quick sound bites to an in-depth examination of who IGs are and what the country has lost in the purge.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
