On today's show:
  • Francesca Chambers, White House Correspondent for USA Today, talks about the news from Washington as the second Trump administration begins its third week.

  • Elizabeth Glazer, founder of the journal Vital City and former director of the New York City Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice, discusses a report that looks at the data that illuminate surprising trends in crime in New York City, and what it says about public safety and justice right now.

  • The collision between a passenger jet and Army Blackhawk Helicopter resulted in the worst aviation tragedy in the United States in decades. Oriana Pawlyk, POLITICO’s aviation reporter, and Jeff Wise, aviation journalist and host of the Finding MH370 podcast, share their reporting on the incident, the issues surrounding air traffic controllers, and whether or not this tragedy could have been prevented.

  • Following Groundhog Day, listeners call in to share how they beat back the winter blues and what sort of rituals they have this time of the year when it's so cold and grey.

Transcripts are posted to each segment as they become available.
