| 0:00.0 | Hello, good friends. It's Friday, January 16. Time for this week's |
| 0:11.0 | reporter's roundtable here on the Bill Press pod. Looking back with three top political |
| 0:15.8 | reporters on the big news of week two, of year two of Trump two. |

| 1:25.3 | for today's panel. So let's jump right in and say hello to Arthur Delaney, |
| 1:30.3 | senior reporter for Huff Post. |
