And it compares to his first term when I think there was just four in the first five days.

Yeah, he could fall foul of something called the Impoundment Control Act, which is effectively Congress spends money in the US Constitution. He has the power of the purse, as they say. Presidents can hold up money being directed, but they can't really stop it as they can't really raise it without agreement of Congress. And that's one of those things that's going to be challenged in court.

Certainly that 370 million odd that he's stopped from the infrastructure spending, that's going to be challenged.

So on the censorship thing, that's quite interesting because Silicon Valley has already started to do some of that work for him. So conservatives would complain that their views were being marginalized on social media and things like that. Well, Elon Musk controls X, so that's okay for conservatives now. Facebook has stopped fact-checking, so that's much more of a

what they would describe as a free speech environment, First Amendment environment. So some of this stuff that was censorship-based is already being done. And on the common worker, well, one of the things that won Donald Trump the election was his talk about inflation, and that was what damaged Joe Biden right back in 2022 when it went through the roof.

And ironically, that's one of the things Donald Trump has done least about in his first week. There's been one kind of directive that says to federal departments, try and do what you can to get prices down. Well, yeah, sure. So let's see how that translates into the price of eggs in the shops, which I know is something you care about, Oliver.

All of it. I mean, eggs, bread, milk. I mean, the real sort of basics. And while the increases are slower than they were, prices haven't come down.

There's no chance of Donald Trump abolishing the federal death penalty. He doesn't have control over individual states and their decisions. But a lot of states don't have the death penalty, bear in mind. But the federal death penalty for federal capital crimes, he has decided to end. There was a moratorium on executions on that that was instituted by the Biden administration.

Donald Trump did execute, I think, around a dozen or 13 people on death row during his first administration. That was the most any president done for absolutely years. However, Joe Biden did commute most of those death sentences of federal capital crimes, the people that were on death row in December, 37 out of the 40 people who were on death row. He left three behind.

One is Zanaev, who's the Boston bomber, the Boston Marathon bomber. He's still on death row. The other one is Dylan Roof, who murdered a group of black worshippers in a church in South Carolina 10 years ago after having sat through the prayer service with them. And the third one is Robert Bowers, who was the man who murdered the worshippers in the synagogue in Pittsburgh back in 2018, I think.

It's also worth saying I think that Barry Mundy has also signed a more general executive order saying all federal agencies will only recognize that there are two genders, men and women, and that's it. And the DEI thing, it's having a sort of broader impact in the private sector as well.
