  Hey listeners, I'm here with a special bonus episode for you.

• 00:08

  We're a year into the second Trump administration.

• 00:11

  Only a year, even if it seems maybe a little bit longer

• 00:14

  than that, and I've been thinking a lot about Trump's very specific unilateralist style of executive power,

• 00:22

  and whether it means that all the crazy-seeming changes of the last year are really permanent and enduring,

• 00:29

  or whether they're actually fragile and temporary.

• 00:32

  So I was glad to sit down with my opinion colleague Jamel Bowie and our boss opinion

• 00:37

  editor Kathleen Kingsbury this past week at an event hosted by the Los Angeles Public Library.

• 00:44

  The three of us had a lively conversation about Trump 2.0 and how the country and the world have changed

• 00:50

  or not changed as much as you might think since his second inauguration.

• 00:55

  I think we covered a lot of ground, but you can be the judge.

• 01:09

  Thank you all for being here tonight.

• 01:12

  I'm excited to be in Los Angeles for this live conversation with opinion columnists Jamele Buoy and Ross Douthat.

• 01:19

  It has been an eventful year, to say the least.

• 01:23

  Given what's happened even in recent weeks, I wanted to start this discussion

• 01:27

  with how President Trump is reshaping the world and the US's role in it.

• 01:32

  Then we're gonna get into changes on the domestic front, how he's changed the country.

• 01:37

  And finally, we'll touch on the upcoming midterm elections.

• 01:41

  But first, I want to start by asking you both for the most consequential decision

• 01:47

  President Trump has made in his first year back in office.
