The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart

On this week's episode of 'The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart': Mounting Opposition. Thousands take to the streets across the country to protest the extreme Trump Agenda, from market-busting tariffs to devastating cuts to federal agencies and more. I'll ask former Biden advisor Mitch Landrieu if this is a defining moment for Democratic resistance. A Rough Republican week. The markets tanked. Their advantage in ruby red congressional districts was cut in half. And a Wisconsin supreme court seat didn't go their way. Political analyst Charlie Sykes and former Biden White House official Andrew Bates weigh in on whether this week was a defining moment for the GOP. Fear Factor. The Trump administration is fighting a judge's order to bring back a man mistakenly detained and sent to that notorious prison in El Salvador. Maria Hinojosa joins me to discuss how these wrongful removals are sparking fear in the immigrant community. And, on the run. Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow is here to talk about her bid for a U.S. Senate seat and why she says it's time for a new generation of Democratic leadership. All that and more on "The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart." 

On this week's episode of 'The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart': Tariff Twist. The Trump administration announces new exemptions to reciprocal tariffs, including smartphones, computers and other consumer electronics, bringing U.S. tech companies back from the edge of a cliff, for now. But tariff policies still threaten other American businesses, not to mention faith in the U.S. economy. Rep. Debbie Dingell of Michigan joins me to talk about that, and the Republican spending plan that threatens the social safety net. Retribution Orders. Another stunning legal week, with the President using executive authority to target private citizens, while Supreme Court rulings leave room for the White House to defy the judicial branch. What it all means for the rule of law. And we warned y'all. While thousands of shocked Americans take to the streets to protest Trump's chaotic and harmful agenda, author Christina Greer is here to explain why Black Americans are not surprised. All that and more on "The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart."

On this week's episode of 'The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart': The Opposition. From the court of public opinion to the judiciary itself, the pushback against President Trump's war on the rule of law is growing, including at the Supreme Court, which early this morning, blocked the Trump Administration from carrying out more deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, for now. Lee Gelernt, the ACLU's lead counsel in the case, joins me to discuss this consequential case and the response we just got from the administration. Rising Up. As anti-Trump demonstrators take to the streets across the country again, I'll ask Rep. Madeleine Dean why her packed town hall this week moved her to tears. And Never Surrender. Harvard alum and Washington Post columnist, David Ignatius, tells us how the elite university sent an important message, not just to other academic institutions, but to the entire country, when it stood up to Trump. All that and more on "The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart." 

On this week's episode of 'The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart': Pushing legal limits. From arresting a judge, to defying court orders to return a man mistakenly deported, to rounding up foreign students, the Trump administration's immigration policy is undermining the rule of law and endangering the right to due process for everyone. Rep. Robert Garcia and Rep. Ayanna Pressley joined me to talk about their visits with those caught in the chaos.  Hitting Home. As Americans sour on the President's chaotic economic policies, top prosecutors from 12 states are suing him over his tariffs. I asked Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford why they call the tariffs an illegal tax hike. And, the Project 2025 Presidency.  Donald Trump has tried to distance himself from the right-wing blueprint. But David Graham of The Atlantic explains how the first 100 days of the Trump Presidency are right out of this playbook, and why there are still a few big plays up his sleeve.  All that and more on "The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart."
