1/16/2017: It’s Inauguration week

Welcome to Inauguration week! On this MLK Day we’re looking at three themes of President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign: An obsolete NATO, rolling back the estate tax and bringing back coal jobs. We’ll talk about the state of all three and how Trump might act on them after he’s sworn in Friday. Plus: a chat with the CEO of Qualcomm and how getting your kid to sleep became a $325 million industry.
