that's alex licensed out in washington, dc. pizza. all born in london and eric have in washington dc and defend q 2 for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website alger 0 don't. com. i prefer the discussion to go to our facebook page. that's facebook dot com, forward slash a inside story. you can also join the conversation on x. i handle this at a inside story for me, elizabeth put on him and the whole team here, bye for now. the trump's agenda includes everything from tax cuts to immigration, but how much is real and how much is bluster? is it runs footprint across the middle. the shrinking, the trump administration is wing options to end the rest of your brain more. but what does it mean for you or a quizzical look at us politics. the bottom line, an app that sees for the blind and a robotic um for the disabled junk australian engineer is inventing tools to help people gain independence on the side of that will put the ability to recognize objects on the far so that people with the rest of the vision wou

and alex, how much political capital does trump actually have at the moment? you know, does all of this projection of strength actually obscure some real political weakness? he entered the, his 2nd to them an office with an approval raising of 47 percent, the lowest of any newly elected president in the modern era. sure. so the reality is that as a newly elected president, and he has a fair amount of political capital, his party controls both houses of congress. democrats are off balance trying to find their identity, trying to figure it out how they want to push back on trumps policies. so he has for the moment a fair amount of capital. now, if people, if the public works sort of sour on his agenda, if we get closer to next year's meet terminal a luxury and it looks like his party is about to lose control of one or both houses and they're going to lose seeds. and he starts to lose further in popularity. then he starts to lose capital. but for right now he has a lot of power. and that could change. but for the moment he's got capital and he's trying to cash in

and piece of when alex talks about how he could, erica come to you. and just a moment, the page of, when alex talks about how trump can those political capital, as has to him, goes on of the things he had doing a, you know, unpopular if he isn't able to push his agenda through. we've already seen that he has caught and get some of it through. when does it have an impact on the people who voted for him? you know, we saw him lose some of his popularity during his 1st to and especially, or the, his handling of the pandemic. so i don't want to present myself as the next, but it's on the american political system. but can i make one else of ation? i, i think it's really interesting to see how it's going to be received internationally here and alonzo. it's clear we have the but the look the cast i'm i, labor government all traditionally. i like maybe so the, to my democrats doing its best to talk to mr. trump really we have before and said she refused to contend the nightmare. announcements about gaza, for instance, and he's a tracking night, so it was extr

one that they version back into power of the alex. we just have about one minute left in the program. what is your strategy for keeping the white house on a stove the next 4 years? well, it's about staying on top of them every day. it's about not taking necessarily everything they say for, for, for granted. but pushing further in terms of reporting, talking to more people, talk to people in the federal bureaucracy, talking to people in the west wing and talking to ball around washington to get this sense to, you know, what is actually happening in this white house. there's a lot that's going on and during 1st, trump's 1st term it's appears to fully understand everything that you did. and so you have to develop a wide source network and you need to really press people on what, what is the impact of his policies or that is that discussion for today? thank you to all 3 of you. that's alex licensed out in washington, dc. pizza. all born in london and eric have in washington dc and defend q 2 for watching you can see the program again any

to alex witt reports. we begin with a flurry of legal roadblocks facing the trump administration in its effort to bypass congress and rely on executive action to shrink the federal government. a federal judge friday blocked the white house department of government efficiency from sensitive treasury department payment records after a lawsuit filed by 19 states. another federal judge paused the administration's plan to place thousands of usaid workers on forced leave. here's part of a report from nbc's aaron gilchrist. >> when you look at usaid, that's a that's a fraud. the whole thing is a fraud. >> unions representing the workers sued to block the order, saying president trump doesn't have the authority to stop the agency's work. >> distance doesn't move from a warehouse. into the mouths of hungry people by magic. it moves because brave men and women put themselves in really difficult circumstances in order to move that food. >> during a friday news conference, trump also answered questions about the list

i think, alex, we are in a constitutional crisis.d musk, though, they are facilitating it. the constitutional crisis is because the republican congress has collapsed. it has collapsed. it is listless. it is meaningless. it is not providing the check that the constitution suggests it should in this environment, for the lawlessness and corruption of trump and musk. the only two fixes are in the courts, which we're seeing. but it takes time. but the immediate ability to rush to the fire is the congress. and they've just laid down and said, hey, donald trump's running this place and elon musk is as well, and we're giving up any authority. we're in a constitutional crisis. the policy debates about education, foreign aid, waste, fraud and abuse, that's just the result of elections. but the constitutional crisis is because the lawlessness and corruption right now is going unchecked. >> so, valencia, last word to you. what can democrats do about it? >> listen, i think democrats are continuing to show the american people what is happening. i

and, alex, that last one did raise eyebrows and headlines.ut i suppose more widely, should we be surprised by some of these findings? i suppose every generation faces technological disruptions. and you said yourself young people have never been particularly high consumers of serious news. i think we should be surprised and concerned about the impacts it's having. so if we just think the average british person is watching five hours of video a day~ — but for gen 2 in the uk, about 64% of that consumption is on a tiktok or a meta platform or youtube. so it's a really different skew they're hyperconnected, they are getting hundreds of alerts a day. they're really used to being able to search out and seek all available information. however, there aren't simple ways— to differentiate fact from fiction _ and one of the impacts of that the definition of what truth is is quite hard for them to grapple with it's having impacts on democracy, democratic disengagement. let's just go for a dictator. i think that's probably understandable, given what they'

to alex witt reports. we begin with the breaking news. president trump launching a trade war with america's closest neighbors. trump slapped 25% tariffs on most products coming from mexico and canada, and a 10% tariff on items from china. here's new reaction from democrats. >> i think we might want to call this the donald trump super bowl tax, with the big game coming next week. if you, you know, avocados, tomatoes, beer from mexico, prices are going to go up during the trump first term when president trump put tariffs on canada and the eu and mexico. what happened? it was a tax on virginia consumers. prices went up. and then when those nations retaliated, they retaliated against critical virginia industry. >> canada responded with its own 25% tariffs, against $155 billion worth of american goods, including alcohol, furniture and orange juice. here's some new reaction from vice president j.d. vance. >> the problem. >> with this whole. >> idea that they're going. >> to retaliate. >> is they have already been taking advantage of. america fo

was alex, right? right. and and you know, i want to ask you to talk a little bit about alex and how that moment made its way to an obama speech, but also you it seems like you've kept up, you know, are you ready? you mentioned talking to him years later. like, so tell them who alex is and you know what is how have you kind of kept. sure. so, you know, 2015, 2016, the syrian civil war has been raging for years. and, you know, we're just hearing these horrific statistics, you know, hundreds of thousands of people killed, millions of refugees and displaced people. and, you know, it was in the news day after day. but for a lot of americans, it just wasn't you know, it didn't hit home. and then there was that that horrific image that you might remember. it of a little boy, syrian boy in an ambulance, you know, having him injured and wiping blood off his face. and it was all of a sudden was all over the news, writes this, this big abstract thing became real. and people could kind of see their own children in this

thanks so much for your time, alex. was a rookie. now you see him playing in the third straight super bowl on the verge of making history. when you mentored him, what was it that you thought was important that you wanted to pass onto him? >> yeah. i mean, it certainly wasn't the secrets to playing quarterback. that's for sure. you know, i think that's the thing about mentorship is there isn't any one thing that you do, you know, i was in my 12th year of football at that point. i had gone through a lot in my career, and had learned a lot, and had really dialed down what it took for me, a father of three at that point, to be able to compartmentalize my home life and work life and all the sacrifices that are required to be an nfl quarterback, and the unique thing about kansas city is the quarterback room, everybody does everything together. you don't do anything alone, and so patrick was thrust into that, and he didn't skip a beat. >> martha: you have two superstars tonight, mahomes and jalen hurts. everybody talks about s
