President-elect Trump names a critic of carbon regulation to run the Environmental Protection Agency and a fast food CEO to run the Labor Department. Will Trump's dueling pledges to increase middle class jobs and to create a more competitive work environment come true? Dahlia Lithwick warns against outrage fatigue while Henry Olsen says it's time to treat Trump like a normal president.

Josh Barro (Business Insider) moderates from the Center. Dahlia Lithwick (Slate.com) is on the Left. Rich Lowry (National Review) is on the Right. Henry Olsen (Ethics and Public Policy Center) is our special guest.
