Are Trump's Executive Orders A Big Deal, Or Mostly Nonsense?

from Beyond Politics · host Matt Robison

 It's been a blitzkrieg of executive orders from President Donald Trump in his first week. But is it all a huge deal or is it more like Shakespeare said, a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing? That's the question weo wanted to put to our round-table today and Once again, we had a pinch hit from our friend, Matt Wylie, who was super subbing in for Alicia Preston. We covered immigration, climate agreements, energy production, and controversial measures like birthright citizenship and the "weaponization" of the federal government. 00:42 Trump's Executive Orders: Big Deal or Not? 03:08 The Role of Congress and the Judiciary 07:00 Big Deal, Little Deal, or No Deal: Game Time 14:12 Trump's Immigration Policies 21:25 The Fox News Fallacy and Immigration Impact 23:17 Economic Frustration and Trade Effects 25:00 Trump's Climate and Energy Policies 29:45 Weaponization of the Federal Government 33:00 TikTok Ban and Executive Orders 38:38 Trump's High Point and Future Challenges
