Trump's Never-Ending Enemies List

Trump's Never-Ending Enemies List

Author: What A Day January 23, 2026 Duration: 23:59
Former special counsel Jack Smith testified before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday about the steps President Donald Trump and his allies took to overturn the 2020 election and to foment the January 6th insurrection. Smith did this knowing that he is already at the top of Trump’s enemies list — which the President is increasingly using the Department of Justice to prosecute. For more on the Trump administration’s latest investigations, we spoke with Ken White. He’s a former federal prosecutor and criminal defense attorney who hosts the legal podcast, “Serious Trouble.” And in headlines, Vice President JD Vance arrives in Minnesota to “tone down the temperature a little bit,” Trump establishes the Gaza ‘Board of Peace’ as an official international organization, and the White House Twitter account gets caught being dishonest.

Each afternoon, the team at What A Day sorts through the overwhelming rush of headlines to bring you clarity and context. This daily podcast cuts through the noise of the 24-hour news cycle, focusing on the few stories that truly matter and explaining why they’re important. You’ll get a smart, concise breakdown of the day’s biggest developments in politics, culture, and everything in between, delivered with a mix of sharp analysis and a necessary dose of humor. It’s designed for anyone who wants to stay informed but feels exhausted by the constant churn of information. The conversation feels like catching up with a well-informed friend who can highlight the key points, connect the dots, and occasionally find the absurdity in it all. Tuning into this podcast means ending your day actually understanding how the news fits together, rather than just remembering scattered soundbites. The pace is brisk but thorough, making it a perfect companion for your commute, evening walk, or while making dinner. It’s a straightforward tool for navigating a complicated world, transforming the day’s chaos into a coherent narrative you can use.
