Janurary 23, 2025: Trump Takes on California, EO Myths, and the Laken Riley Act

The Full Story by Matthew Bishop

Episode notes

Join us as we cover the latest wildfires in Los Angeles County and Donald Trump’s bold stance against California’s government, including his threat to withhold federal aid unless they improve water management. We’ll also break down one of Trump’s executive orders that has been misrepresented by liberal media as driving up prescription drug prices—when in reality, it simply cancels an unimplemented Medicare program. Plus, we discuss the recently passed Laken Riley Act, a significant immigration enforcement bill that could become the first signed law of a Trump administration. Finally, in our "This Day in History" segment, we reflect on Jerusalem being declared the capital of Israel.
