Saturdays & Sundays with Jonathan Capehart

On this week's episode of 'The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart': House of Pain. Republican House Speaker Johnson hasn't been able to get anything done without help from Democrats. So, expect the chaos to continue in the next Congress when he will have to contend with a razor-thin Republican majority, Donald Trump in the White House AND Marjorie Taylor Greene heading up the Government Efficiency subcommittee taking slash-and-burn advice from the DOGE duo, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. I'll preview the rough times ahead with a veteran lawmaker who's seen it all: South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn. Plus, more of my cable exclusive interview with former President Bill Clinton, who weighs in on where Democrats should go from here -- and how to win back voters. All that and more on “The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart.”

On this week's episode of 'The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart': Flooding the zone. Donald Trump announces ten new cabinet picks in a weekend onslaught, including MAGA economic guru Scott Bessent, and a key architect of Project 2025. Remember the plan to remake government Trump said he wanted nothing to do with? Yeah that guy, Russell Vought. And, in a cable exclusive, my conversation with former President Bill Clinton. He has a lot to say about Trump's return to the White House, and his mind-blowing cabinet picks. Plus, balance of power: Republicans succeeded in getting Matt Gaetz out before they were forced to vote on him in the new Congress. But the question remains: Will the Republican-led Senate next year show the same moxi to block any of the other unqualified or patently unfit nominees? I have my doubts, but my political panel of Susan Del Percio and Basil Smikle weigh in on this and a whole host of other political news this week. All that and more on “The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart.”

On this week's episode of 'The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart': Pardon power. Before he leaves office, President Biden has the constitutional authority to pardon anyone he chooses for federal crimes. Some Republicans argue that pardoning Donald Trump would "heal" the country. Biden could also pardon his own son, Hunter, although he's vowed not to. I'll ask Ankush Khardori and Kimberly Atkins Stohr who they think could and should receive presidential pardons. And, raising alarms. Health experts warn that confirming Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as HHS Secretary could actually cost lives. We'll talk to Gov. Josh Green of Hawaii, a medical doctor who has first-hand experience with the consequences of RFK Jr.'s misinformation and conspiracy theories about childhood vaccinations. And the Watch List. "Wicked," "Gladiator 2" and the "Moana" sequel fueled a Black Friday box office bonanza, but what else should you be watching? Chris Witherspoon joins me with best movies and TV shows to put on your holiday watch list. All that and more on “The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart.”
