Trump’s inauguration is right around the corner, and there is so much to cover about the new White House. In the coming weeks, we’ll have key figures in the Trump administration on Honestly to talk about what they are planning.
But, we all know that if Trump 2.0 is anything like Trump 1.0, there are going to be a lot of twists and turns here. And we want to analyze and break down each development that unfolds in Trump’s new administration.
Starting today and for the next few months, we’re going to bring you weekly episodes with two of my favorite guests: Batya Ungar-Sargon and Brianna Wu.
Batya Ungar-Sargon is a Free Press contributor and the opinion editor at Newsweek. Brianna Wu is a Democratic fundraiser and activist, and in her past life, a video game developer. If you’ve heard them together on Honestly before, you know that these two come from different sides of the political spectrum, but we really value hearing both of their perspectives, even—or especially—when they disagree. We think you will too.
Today, we’re going to cover the LA fires and their political implications, the civil war inside the MAGA movement between the nationalist populists and the free marketers over H-1B visas, and Mark Zuckerberg’s red-pill moment and changes at Meta—and the pair give us their predictions for confirmation hearings beginning this week.

I’m really disappointed in this program I actually stopped listening at 31 minutes because I’m not learning anything from the rant of emotionally immature people. What’s with all the anger? Batya was thoughtful but Brianna. Wow I was listening to my five year old who just broke something and just couldn’t understand how it happened. The hydrants just magically went dry who could have known? I suppose if the Boeing company said gosh the plane just crashed maybe it was the geography oh well that’s how it goes. We would all be ok with that? Preposterous!
We need to keep the standards high here. And not just in the comment section. The level of ideology in this podcast convo was akin to a Fox contributor and a CNN contributor speaking little monologues and then cutting to a Medicare commercial. Let’s up the game or not do it.
