Jen Psaki explains why Donald Trump’s threats remain just as dangerous after some claim the president-elect has “cooled” his rhetoric around persecuting his political foes. Former US attorney Preet Bharara joins Jen to talk about why Trump doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt. Later, Jen is joined by the political panel to discuss how Republicans are overlooking the controversy and allegations against Trump cabinet picks like Tulsi Gabbard, Pete Hegseth, and Kash Patel, and if any Republicans would be willing to vote against them. Jen then delves into Tulsi Gabbard’s sympathy for ousted Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, including new reporting from NBC News revealing that Congressional aides on the House Foreign Affairs Committee did not trust the then-Congresswoman Gabbard with the identity of a Syrian defector. Investigative reporter Dan De Luce and the Executive Director of the Syrian Emergency Task Force, Mouaz Moustafa, talk to Jen about those security concerns. Finally, Governor Jared Polis of Colorado talks to Jen about his decision to buck his party and support some of Trump’s policies.
