Misfires: Arbitrary Firings Jeopardize Nukes and Airlines

Jen Psaki sounds the alarm on Donald Trump and Elon Musk's latest round of firings that put the safety of everything from air travel to our nuclear warheads at risk. She is joined by David Spero, president of the Professional Aviation Safety Specialists Union, to discuss Trump and Musk's firing of FAA workers amid internal turmoil and growing concerns about flight safety. Next, Jen is joined by Norm Eisen, lawyer and co-founder of The Contrarian, to discuss the concerning implications of Musk's latest attempts to access sensitive information at the IRS and the Social Security Administration. Then, Jen is joined by DNC Vice Chair David Hogg and Faiz Shakir, More Perfect Union executive director, to discuss protests across the country against Trump and Musk, and how that energy can be translated into real change. Later, Jen outlines a historical parallel to the mounting pressure New York Governor Kathy Hochul is facing to remove NYC Mayor Eric Adams from office. She is joined by New York Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado to discuss his view on whether Hochul should remove Adams and what that process might look like. Finally, Jen shares another moment from her recent conversation with Rahm Emanuel who had an interesting take on the kind of candidates Democrats should be fielding - as part of her new podcast "The Blueprint with Jen Psaki".
