On this week's episode of 'The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart': Showtime. President Trump is set to give his first address to a joint session of Congress after a chaotic and cruel start to his second term, including his embarrassing Oval Office ambush of an American ally. Sen. Chris Van Hollen joins me to discuss how the Democrats will respond and how this week changed everything. Crackdown: Trump signs an Executive Order making English the country's official language, a largely symbolic gesture in a nation with 42 million Spanish speakers. I'll ask Maria Hinojosa if this is really about policy or just political theater. Plot Twist: As we count down to tonight's Academy Awards, Chris Witherspoon, joins me with his predictions and details on a surprise special guest. Hint, It's Kamala Harris! All that and more on “The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart.” 

On this week's episode of 'The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart': two major stories tonight. First, NTSB investigators share new information from the flight data recorders recovered after the deadly crash of a passenger jet and military helicopter.   Aviation analyst Jeff Guzzetti unpacks the importance of the new findings. We also have breaking news on President Trump's newly imposed tariffs against Mexico, Canada and China.  Rep. Gerry Connolly and Rep. Glenn Ivey weigh in on the cost to American consumers, and the flurry of chaos during the second week of Donald Trump's presidency.  All that and more on “The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart.” 

In today's episode, I'm addressing the infighting within the Conservative Movement and why it's the last thing we need to focus on now that we've gained control of the Presidency, House, and Senate. While we have achieved significant political power, we cannot possibly afford to be distracted by these interpersonal petty wars. There are real, pressing issues at hand—issues that demand our attention. So, let's put aside the itty bitty baby battles and focus on what truly matters so we can accomplish greatness and usher in our New American Golden Age.--https://policecoffee.com/--Order Culture: The Dangers of Herd Mentality: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/SLYWFXAB6479S

DeSantis launched the 60 day session with a speech that touched on issues like immigration, education, and law enforcement, and appeared pitched to primary state voters as much as Floridians. The speech sets the stage for a legislative session where lawmakers will tackle issues like health care, the environment, and education, even as DeSantis continues his presidential campaign, vying to be the Republican nominee to challenge President Biden in November. DeSantis said policies in other states have "sparked an exodus" of residents to states like Florida, which he described as a "refuge for freedom and sanity." Political analyst and retired University of South Florida political science professor Susan MacManus and WUSF politics and environment reporter Steve Newborn join host Matthew Peddie to discuss the speech, the response from the Florida Democratic Party, and what's ahead for the legislative session.
