America is feeling the effects of a giant case of buyer's remorse as the Trump administration, which hasn't even taken power yet, is throwing its support behind some of the worst characters on the hard right wing of American politics, appointing them to some of the most powerful roles in government. Our guests today are Economic Professor Matias Vernengo and former GOP Congressman Bob Ney.

The Trump administration has starting making its appointment to the most critical roles in our government ... but its choices have people scratching their heads. A vaccine denier in charge of public health? A climate denier in charge of the EPA? A Russian asset as the Director of National Intelligence? Every pick seems to be designed to do the opposite of its job. And that's the point - not to serve, but to destroy.

There's no stopping it now. Trump will take office, and working families will suffer as a result. And with the Democratic establishment all but useless in the years to come, we will have to find our own way out of the mess our betters have made. We discuss this and more with Michael Mechanic of Mother Jones and Rich Ojeda, host of "Ojeda Live."

Now that the looming disaster is becoming real for our political class, we are beginning to hear all the reasons why one side lost and the other won. And predictably, the left is eating itself, casting blame and talking about how this all happened. The reasons are simple to understand, and that's what we'll be talking to our guests about. We are joined by former Congressman Bob Ney and journalist Sarah Burris of Raw Story.

Hello friends. This episode was recorded late Tuesday night, as things were starting to develop, but before the outcome was certain, so forgive the inaccuracies and hopeful talk. We spoke with our favorite political analyst Bob Ney, and also with digital strategist David Yankovich.
