About this episode
First: After 43 turbulent days, Donald Trump will address Congress for the first time in his second term, and he's bringing Elon Musk with him. The president will take credit for his promises kept. But what will he do about the chaos?

And: Senate Majority Leader John Thune joins us to describe the challenges of trying to implement President Trump's legislative agenda.
