Hello and welcome to the Daily Beans for Monday, January 6th, 2025.

Today, Congress will certify the 2024 election.

Mike Johnson was elected Speaker at the House on the first vote.

Trump is complaining about the flags being flown at half staff during his inauguration.

Apple CEO,

Tim Cook, has donated a million dollars to Trump's inaugural. Rudy took the stand last Friday in one of his multiple contempt hearings, and it did not go well. The judicial conference has refused to refer

Clarence Thomas to the Department of Justice. Judge Juan Mershahn has denied Trump's motion to

throw out his 34-count felony

conviction and a Utah County School Board has voted to keep banned books in libraries.

I'm Alison Gill.

And I'm Dana Goldberg.

Hey, Dana, happy Monday. How are you?

Happy Monday to you. I'm actually good. I am back in L.A. and feeling the sunshine and the open space and as much as I love both coasts, it just feels nice to be back in some warmth. So right now, I'm good. It's January 6th, obviously a heavy day to remember in this country. So that's something that's weighing on me as we are listening to this, recording the day before.

But powerful day.

We'll see what happens with the certification of the election.

Yeah.
