On this "crossover" episode, Adam and economist Bob Murphy talk about the very busy first day of the incoming Trump presidency - part 2!
00:00 — Intro. Bob reveals his favorite commercial.
01:54 — Is it a surprise that Trump was seated? Isn't the ultra-powerful Deep State aligned against him? Did they give up? Do they have more nefarious plans? Did Trump capitulate?
12:36 — Joe Biden's bizarre (and record setting) pardons on the way out the door. Are they good (for us), in a way? Plus, how are presidential pardons like The Purge? Also: Adam Schiff!
25:36 — Trump's first day starts by freeing 1,500 Jan 6 prisoners. Now, will he free Ross Ulbricht?

36:40 — What about all the rest of Trump's day one executive orders?
45:34 — What's with Elon's weird "Nazi salute" thing? Also, remember when Melania "Rick rolled" the RNC crowd back in the day?
54:34 — What about all the rest of Trump's campaign promises? Is he serious about cutting spending? Can we get rid of the Department of Education?
61:52 — Outro. Free Ross!
