1A - ‘If You Can Keep It’: What The Trump’s New Cabinet Means For America
President-elect Donald Trump is packing his administration with incredibly wealthy businesspeople. His picks make up what could be the wealthiest government in U.S. history – worth about $340 billion.
Watchdog groups are sounding the alarm, saying the business interests of many of these powerful picks are at odds with what's best for the American people.
Trump himself is again bringing financial conflicts into office, too. But this time, there are fewer guardrails to prevent abuses of power for his financial gain. Meanwhile, new Trump organization business deals are on the horizon.
We discuss why this matter for the American people, and if our government can protect itself from financial conflicts at its highest levels of power.

1A - ICYMI: After More Than Five Decades, Syria No Longer Under Authoritarian Rule
On Sunday, Syrian rebels led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) made its final march on the Syrian capital of Damascus. The rebels had already claimed the major cities of Aleppo, Hama and Homs.
In a matter of hours and with little violence, Syrian government forces abandoned their posts and HTS claimed victory. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad fled the country and has been granted asylum in Russia.
After more than five decades, Syria is no longer under the rule of the Assad dynasty. And the region is transformed forever.
But as people rejoice across Syria – what's left is immense uncertainty about the future of the country's government and its place in the region.
We get to the latest and look to the future for both Syria and the Middle East.

The Commentary Magazine Podcast - Biden’s Moment of Senile Amnesia
Today's podcast begins with the shocking moment yesterday when Joe Biden spoke of the American hostage in Syria, Austin Tice, and then, 30 seconds later, entirely forgot who Austin Tice was. There are 42 days until the election; isn't there a single responsible person in the Cabinet of the United States willing to organize a 25th Amendment letter temporarily removing him from the chain of command at this epochal moment in world affairs, with Syria having fallen? And a surprising Trump interview. Give a listen.
