Marketplace All-in-One

As President Donald Trump orders his long-promised wall with Mexico, we check in with our reporter on the border to talk about what the project might cost. Then, we look at where Trump fits among previous Republican presidents, and his effect on steel, stocks and immigrant communities.

Trump will reportedly move forward on his campaign promise to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. Marketplace's Kimberly Adams — who's currently in Nogales, Mexico — is exploring some of the reactions to the possibility of increased border security. Next, we'll discuss how AT&T is faring with its its new internet streaming service, DirecTV Now.

As AT&T prepares to announce fourth-quarter earnings later today, we'll revisit the company's proposed $85 billion merger with Time Warner and look at what it means for consumers. Next, we'll talk about the Trans-Pacific Partnership's connection to the television and film industry. Hollywood had rallied behind beefed-up copyright protections included in the TPP, a deal that Trump withdrew from on Monday.

Amid a flurry of executive orders, we'll take a closer look at three of President Donald Trump's initiatives: robust infrastructure spending, new auto manufacturers and a federal hiring freeze. After that, we'll ask more broadly: can you really run the country like a business? Plus a preview of our new podcast, "Make Me Smart with Kai and Molly" and a look at Syrian entrepreneurship in the U.S.

On the first full episode of Make Me Smart, we explored how to tell the difference between party-line political changes and "non-standard" changes in the new Trump administration. We also answered your questions about whether government statistics are accurate, and heard from Autodesk CEO Carl Bass.Our first listener question this week came from Bob Price, who wanted to know whether it was possible for insiders to make a profit shorting stocks of the publicly traded companies the president mentions on Twitter. Nick Colley asked: "Numbers get thrown around a lot — how do we as citizens question the legitimacy of those numbers?"Make sure to review us on iTunes and anywhere you get this podcast, and join us for our next Facebook Live video on Monday at 10:30 a.m. PST."Make Me Smart with Kai and Molly" is produced by Jennie Josephson, Bridget Bodnar and Nancy Farghalli. The podcast was engineered by Daniel Ramirez. The theme music was composed by Ben Tolliday and Daniel Ramirez.

Trump has put a halt to the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and will potentially strike deals with individual countries. We'll look at whether these deals will be better for the U.S. than the TPP. Next, we'll explore the ways the new administration could affect the housing market, and then chat with a professor who argues that Trump is channeling Marxists from the '70s. 

Walls and fences aren't the only things dividing the U.S. and Mexico. Marketplace's Kimberly Adams — reporting from Nogales, Mexico —  examines the low-and high-tech barriers that exist between the two countries. Afterwards, we'll look at the conversation surrounding private photos in the digital age. Dozens of states now have laws that make it a crime to publicly disclose someone's intimate image without his or her consent.

It's Donald Trump's first work day as president, and it was a busy one. He met with a number of business leaders to talk trade, and pledged to cut down on regulation by 75 percent. We'll look at what that means,get a farmer's take on the Trump administration and take a look at our trade relationships with China and the U.K.. Plus, a conversation with the CEO of Equinox. 

President Trump has signed a new order giving federal and state officials authority to waive or delay parts of the Affordable Care Act. We'll look at how much weight it carries. Next, we'll talk about a possible plan from Foxconn, a major Apple supplier, to create a $7 billion factory in the U.S. Finally, we'll speak with economist Teresa Ghilarducci about how Americans aren't saving enough for retirement.

During his time as head of the Federal Communications Commission, Tom Wheeler pushed for internet providers to deliver information at equal speeds. But companies have pushed back against this idea of net neutrality. Wheeler joined us to talk about the telecom industry, his successor, and his plans for the future. Afterwards, we'll hear from Harvard professor Susan Crawford about what telecom policy might look like under President Trump. 

As of noon today, Donald Trump is the 45th President of the United States. Celebrations will continue into the night, but we've convened our Weekly Wrap-ers to talk though Trump's gloomy speech and what's ahead. Plus, a look at how the think tank economy is dealing with Trump, and a Pennsylvania factory that's banking on him. Then, the view from the Mexican border.

Our D.C. Bureau Chief explains what we can expect from President Donald Trump's first 100 days in office. Then, we look at how presidents make money once their term ends, and the Mexican view of Trump's proposed border wall. Plus, why the chicken nugget is the quintessential American product.

The Trump administration may institute a repatriation holiday, which would reduce the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35 to 10 percent for a temporary stretch. U.S. corporations have profits parked overseas to avoid the current rate. Harvard professor Fritz Foley looks at whether bringing them over here would help the economy. Afterwards, we'll talk with Univision's Leon Krauze about how immigrants are preparing for Trump's presidency.

New gadgets mean new rules. With Trump's inauguration taking place today, D.C. wants to make it clear that drones and selfie sticks are not allowed in the capitol. We'll take look at what attendees WILL be able to bring with them. As for those of us who live elsewhere in the country, we'll also share the ways you can watch the event online. Afterwards, software engineer Tracey Chou will join us to play this week's Silicon Tally. 

The story of Erie, Pennsylvania — a manufacturing town that's lost hundreds of jobs and is looking for President-elect Donald Trump to bring them back — is the story of the 2016 election. Erie County went red for the first time in decades, and now its residents are anxiously waiting to see what Trump's campaign promises look like in action. To kick off our yearlong reporting project "The Big Promise," we're recording the whole show live from a brewery in Erie. We talk to small business owners, an economist, a union leader, an immigrant and one of the folks tasked with resettling refugees here.
