The following podcast contains explicit language.

From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land.

We must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries.

This American carnage stops right here and stops right now.

Hello and welcome to Trumpcast.

The show about the man who said, God, look down and said, I will not let it rain on your inauguration.

Donald Trump.

I'm Jacob Weisberg.

So here's something that occurred to me over the crazy first weekend of the Trump presidency.

The fundamental problem in covering the Trump administration isn't going to be separating the facts from Kellyanne Conway's alternative facts.

The hard part is going to be avoiding getting distracted by the things that don't ultimately matter.

The behavior of Donald Trump and his propagandist is going to be comprehensively outrageous and outlandish.

They're going to lie about everything.

So the challenge for the press and for people listening to this podcast is going to be separating the wheat from the chaff, the signal from the noise.

Signal is the investigation underway into the possible ties between Trump's campaign, the Cremlin and the DNC hack.

Noise is the debate about whether it was right for BuzzFeed to publish the dossier containing a lot of unverified allegations about the connection.

Signal is Trump's egregious conflict of interest, his failure to do even the little he promised to separate himself from his businesses and the massive corruption to come.

Noise is the self-aggrandizing speech he gave the CIA.

Noise is the lies Trump and his press secretary told about the size of the crowd on the mall.

The signal is Trump's inaugural address itself declaring a protectionist trade policy and an isolationist foreign policy to defend against the ravages of other nations.

And that's what I'm going to talk about today with Fareed Zikari of CNN.

But first, unannounced him before we get started.
