    Tonight, on Politics Nation, President-Elect Donald Trump will be sworn in for a second term as President of the United States Monday, January 20th. Security is high in Washington, D.C. and temperatures are expected to plunge ahead of the Inauguration, which has been moved inside due to the fearsome weather. Within the first few days the new administration says it will get to work on some of the major issues Trump campaigned on. A massive immigration raid is reportedly in the works for the city of Chicago and as many as 100 Executive Orders will be waiting on the resolute desk in the oval office for Trump's signature.

    Delaware’s freshman Senator Lisa Blunt-Rochester joins the show to discuss the plans of Trump and his allies. Plus, the brother of Eaton Fire victim Evelyn McClendon appears to discuss her life and the family’s plans to move ahead with a lawsuit against Southern California Edison.

  • Historic Day

    Historic Day
    Jan 7 2025
    In this episode of Politics Nation, Reverend Al Sharpton discusses the upcoming fourth anniversary of the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Congressional investigators assert that the attack was instigated by then-President Trump, who refused to accept the results of the 2020 election. On this anniversary, a Republican-majority Congress will certify the results of the 2024 election, which could potentially bring Trump back to the White House. Plus, the nation is still dealing with the aftermath of a tragic New Year's attack in New Orleans that resulted in 15 deaths, including that of the perpetrator. President Biden is scheduled to visit the city tomorrow to offer comfort to its residents. We have new information about the events leading up to this incident and how it could have been even more deadly. Later in the show, former New York Congressman Max Rose and former Pennsylvania Congressman Charlie Dent will join us to discuss the new members of Congress, the January 6 incident, the $15 billion takeover of U.S. Steel by Japan's Nippon Steel, and the veteran who tragically killed 14 people in New Orleans that appeared to be inspired by ISIS ideology. All this and more is coming up.
