0:00.0	All right, everybody, welcome. Today, we are going to be talking about what could be the first
0:05.0	hundred days of the Trump administration. Plus, what sort of cabinet picks can we expect?
0:10.0	Because it turns out those two things are, I don't know, kind of similar. It gives us an idea
0:13.7	of what round two of the Trump administration is actually going to look like. And are we going to be
0:18.7	able to achieve some of the things that we wanted? Because as of right now, it does look like we're going to be able to retain both the
0:25.9	house, excuse me, we're going to retain the House, we're going to pick up the Senate. And so what that

0:59.9	serving as speakers and a majority leader, as well some of the people that he picked to surround
1:03.9	himself, which later betrayed him.
1:05.6	And I think he's very, very cautious about not wanting to repeat that mistake because, let's
1:08.9	face it, the president has a lot of power,
1:11.3	but nowhere near as much as I think a lot of Americans assume the president has.
1:15.0	You really need the legislature to be on board with your agenda if you're going to get laws passed.
1:21.0	So there's a lot of it can do with respect to the federal bureaucracy, but even then, not as much as we think without proper legislation.
