trump. and both with his ascension and also with the family members who are playing a huge role in both the white house and the campaign, including jared kushner in particular and ivanka trump, i just feel like there are fewer and fewer people around the president who are willing to say no to him and the president has really adopted this mantra that he is his own political strategist, best communications director. he's the one that will deliver the message. he's the best negotiator. and i feel like he has filled the cabinet and federal agencies with people who also support him, who don't say no to him. we've seen that time and time again with dhs, department of defense. so i feel like we're at this interesting moment in year three where he doesn't have that many naysayers around him. >> one of the things that's also happening, guys, we're starting to see and hear from a few more republicans, not a lot by any means but a few more who are expressing alarm about what's going on right now. let's
