Good evening. Once again, I am Stephanie Ruhl. Take a big, deep breath. This has been a long week.

And welcome to the nightcap. It is day 89 of the second Trump administration. And my gosh, what a week it has been.

The president continues to assert more power launching attacks on universities, news organizations, the Federal Reserve, and the judiciary.

An appeals court called it shocking that the administration remains defiant against making any effort to return Kilmar-Abrigo Garcia from a prison in El Salvador.

Today, the White House posted on social media,

quote, he is never coming back. Meanwhile, Trump continues to meet with world leaders promising

trade deals, but so far, no details and no deals. With that, let's bring in our nightcrack

group. I am thrilled to welcome back to the United States of America, former New York

Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney. He's the former U.S. ambassador to the Organization for Economic

Cooperation and Development. Tom Rogers joins us. MSNBC and CNBC founder. He's now

editor at large for Newsweek, comedian, actor and writer Judy Gold and Mark Dunkelman fellow at Brown University.

He is the author of a book you must, must read, why nothing works.

Who killed progress and how to bring it back?

Ambassador, former congressman, long, long, time friend of mine.

I'm thrilled to have you here.

Let's talk about this. You know a whole

lot about trade. You know about foreign policy. You know about international relations. The president

is telling us dealmaking is in the works. We have not seen anything yet. And dealmaking takes a

long time. Yeah, look, this is so important that when you strip away all the headlines, this stuff is not going to work, and it's going to hurt regular people.

And the bottom line is, in area after area, we have to come in and say that.

So is your 401k better or worse off than it was four months ago?

That's it. That's it.
