State of the World from NPR - The Wars Trump Inherits

As President Trump takes office he inherits two international conflicts in which the United States is deeply involved. On the campaign trail he said he would be able to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. Last month he said there would be "hell to pay" if Hamas and Israel did not reach a ceasefire and hostage release deal before he assumed office. A temporary and fragile ceasefire began on Sunday.

We hear from NPR correspondents in Israel, Russia and Ukraine to hear about those countries' expectations for the Trump presidency.

1A - The Second Inauguration Of Donald Trump

A lot has changed in the United States since the last presidential inauguration in January of 2021.

Four years ago, the world was managing a global pandemic, the U.S. was coming to terms with an insurrection on our democracy, and Donald Trump was on his way out of the White House.

In just a few hours, he'll be sworn in as the 47th president of the United States on the steps of the Capitol building.

We discuss the first items on his agenda and hear your thoughts on his upcoming presidency.

The Bulwark Podcast - Bill Kristol: Resist the Nihilism

Trump wants us to believe that nothing matters, so we'll brush off all his corruption and grifting as though everybody does it. That's what aspiring authoritarians always do, including the guy who didn't place his hand on a Bible when he was sworn in today. Meanwhile, Trump just launched probably the biggest scam in the history of the presidency with his memecoin—ordinary people will lose real money, nothing like the small-ball amounts he scoops up with his shoes, mugs, and digital baseball cards. Plus, Biden's pardons, Trump's Day One executive orders, and seizing the means of content production with TikTok.

Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller.
