Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Bell again.

0:05.0

So today, we're going to talk about GOP pressure on Trump, New York, and your question.

0:14.0

We've been talking a lot about how congressional Republicans could curtail Trump's policies and mistakes.

0:22.2

In particular, we've talked about it in the context of Trump's tariffs, the government shutdown,
