Trump is choosing his cabinet and close advisors at warp speed.

Grant breaks down some of the most high profile positions. Plus, how the Trump team is already trying to get around background and security checks and whether some of the most outlandish cabinet choices could even pass scrutiny from the Senate.

Also, get ready for MORE MIMS! New episodes will be dropping on Wednesdays starting next week. Not minis, likely a little longer, but not full length episodes either.

Donald Trump wins the 2024 election with numbers we haven't seen in decades from a Republican President-elect. His victory was a decisive mandate from voters to enact his policies and a resounding rebuke of Kamala Harris, although it may be more about Joe Biden.

Grant breaks down who voted for Trump, what this means about our ideas about the way American politics look now and what happens next.

Grant also talks to Matthew Taylor (@TaylorMatthewD) from the Institute for Islamic, Christian and Jewish studies and the author of the book The Violent Take It By Force. They talk about how Christian Nationalism helped fuel Trump's rise and power since 2016 and how it will shape the next Trump presidency.
