The Power Line single-malt whisky bar is still trying to process Donald Trump’s decisive victory in the election, and this episode reflecting on the scene offers up a few fresh (we hope) takeaways from the result that we haven’t yet seen elsewhere in the media, and then we turn our attention to some key priorities for the second Trump Administation starting in January.

In such a target-rich environment, what should Trump aim at first on Day One in January: our ideologically corrupt universities, the Justice Department, ending the war in Ukraine and Gaza? And what should Congress do with the slim GOP majorities? I have some ideas for new committees, as well as a budget test.

Also, does it seem like Trump is president already (since no one believes Biden is really president any longer)? We notice that several foreign governments are rushing to get on Trump’s good side before January, which seems prudent.

On Friday I also went back to my Jay Leno-on-Fridays routine at the Ricochet podcast where we went through the election data with Henry Olsen.
