Lee, M.D., M.Div, Assistant Clinical Professor in Law and Psychiatry at the Yale University School of Medicine discusses her book, "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump," her recent briefing to members of Congress -- and the troubling, related questions that have emerged with the publication of Michael Wolff's new book, "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House."
2) John Nichols, national correspondent with The Nation magazine, assesses the effectiveness and potential of the resistance movement opposing Donald Trump and the Republican Party agenda, one year after the historic Women's March actions in hundreds of cities and towns across America.
3) Pardiss Kebriaei, senior staff attorney with the Center for Constitutional Rights, discusses a lawsuit recently filed that challenges the Trump administration's continued detention of prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba US prison camp, on the basis of Trump's declaration that no prisoners there, regardless of their individual circumstance, should ever be released.
4) Jillian Gilchrest, one of the organizers of the January 20th Women's March in Harrtford, CT will discuss the objectives of this year's action, one year since the historic 2017 national Women's March that attracted more than 4 million participants across the U.S.
