    The Saturday Show With Jonathan Capehart: April 26th, 2025

    On this week's episode of 'The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart': Pushing legal limits.

As Americans sour on the President's chaotic economic policies, top prosecutors from 12 states are suing him over his tariffs. I asked Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford why they call the tariffs an illegal tax hike. And, the Project 2025 Presidency. Donald Trump has tried to distance himself from the right-wing blueprint. But David Graham of The Atlantic explains how the first 100 days of the Trump Presidency are right out of this playbook, and why there are still a few big plays up his sleeve.

    On this week's episode of 'The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart': The Opposition.

    On this week's episode of 'The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart': Tariff Twist. The Trump administration announces new exemptions to reciprocal tariffs, including smartphones, computers and other consumer electronics, bringing U.S. tech companies back from the edge of a cliff, for now. But tariff policies still threaten other American businesses, not to mention faith in the U.S. economy. Rep. Debbie Dingell of Michigan joins me to talk about that, and the Republican spending plan that threatens the social safety net. Retribution Orders. Another stunning legal week, with the President using executive authority to target private citizens, while Supreme Court rulings leave room for the White House to defy the judicial branch.

Their advantage in ruby red congressional districts was cut in half. And a Wisconsin supreme court seat didn't go their way. Political analyst Charlie Sykes and former Biden White House official Andrew Bates weigh in on whether this week was a defining moment for the GOP. Fear Factor. The Trump administration is fighting a judge's order to bring back a man mistakenly detained and sent to that notorious prison in El Salvador.

Five years after the police murder of George Floyd, some right-wing extremists are pushing for a pardon for his killer, Derek Chauvin.
