Trumpland with Alex Wagner

A move by Rupert Murdoch to secure the conservative editorial leadership of his media empire, including Fox News, the New York Post, and the Wall Street Journal in the U.S., in the hands of his son Lachlan, was dealt a blow by a judge who accused the Murdochs of acting in bad faith. Angelo Carusone, president and CEO of Media Matters discusses with Alex Wagner the significance of the ruling to the future of conservatism and MAGAism in the U.S.

Rep. Jamie Raskin talks with Alex Wagner about the race between Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Gerry Connolly for the Democratic Party's top spot on the powerful House Oversight Committee. Raskin left his spot on that committee to become the ranking member on the Judiciary Committee, and explains that the leadership shuffle is about gearing up for the fight against Donald Trump's capricious agenda. 

Donald Trump has made clear that his company will be pursuing business opportunities in other countries while he is president and making decisions about the relationship between the U.S. and those countries. Meanwhile the people he is choosing to run his administration are consistently conflicted with responsibilities that overlap with their own interests. 

So much attention has been devoted to the personal shortcomings of Donald Trump's pick for secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth, that there hasn't been room to look at his opinions on key issues for the military, including the role of women. Senator Elizabeth Warren, member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, talks with Alex Wagner about why Hegseth's views could threaten U.S. military recruitment goals. 

While Donald Trump's most extreme picks to serve in his administration are struggling in the spotlight, Trump's revenge agenda is likely to survive even if the nominations of some of his preferred foot soldiers do not. In light of Trump's enthusiasm for payback that could take the form of baseless criminal prosecution, some people are encouraging President Biden to issue pardons to Trump critics, particularly those on the black list of Trump's choice to lead the FBI, Kash Patel.

Even as Donald Trump continues to secure his corruption of the federal government, he remains powerless to escape his civil fraud judgment in New York.

Despite having seen how tariffs raised consumer prices in his first term, Donald Trump is determined to start new trade wars with significant tariffs on Mexico and Canada while at the same time deporting a sizeable portion of the U.S. workforce against the warnings of the farming and construction industries. 

Alex Wagner reports on a litany of new Cabinet picks announced by Donald Trump on Friday evening. 

With the collapse of Matt Gaetz's bid for attorney general, attention is shifting to Donald Trump's other nominees and whether Trump is hitting the limits of his political power with such flawed Cabinet picks.

Alex Wagner explores how Donald Trump's true goal of wreaking havoc on the federal government is well served by his Cabinet picks even if they are unqualified to run the departments they would be in charge of.

Alex Wagner looks at how Donald Trump has returned to the tactic Steve Bannon described as "flood the zone," by overwhelming the capacity of the media and the public at large to process the sheer volume of inappropriate behavior and decisions that might have caused a bigger scandal in isolation.

As Donald Trump bullies Washington Republicans into submission with ridiculous Cabinet picks, President Joe Biden is working to bolster the guard rails of the judiciary as much as he can before his time in office runs out.

Alex Wagner takes a closer look at the dubious cast of characters Donald Trump is elevating to his Cabinet, from Tulsi Gabbard to Matt Gaetz, to RFK Jr.

After a day of absurd selections for the top levels of his administration, it is clear that Donald Trump is testing the loyalty of Senate Republicans to blindly do his bidding. Alex Wagner talks with her guests about the reaction to a potential Attorney General Matt Gaetz or Defense Secretary Hegseth.

Alex Wagner looks at expectations for the new Trump regime, from his cabinet appointments to his plan for "mass deportations," to his attacks on federal government agencies.

On the last episode of Alex Wagner Tonight before Election Day, Alex Wagner looks at the remarkable campaign Kamala Harris has pulled together in a very short amount of time, and talks with guests about the final days of election day and what it means about the United State of America that someone as flawed as Donald Trump still enjoys the support of half of the country's voters.

The name of the game in the final days of the 2024 election is "get out the vote." While Donald Trump struggles to find a way to communicate to anyone who isn't already in his thrall, Kamala Harris combines a rigorous ground game with a steady effort to expand her reach, especially in swing states. Ali Velshi takes a closer look at Nevada, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and North Carolina.
