| 0:00.0 | It is Sunday, February 15th. I'm Ali Velsch. Take a look at this graphic. These are some of the most |
| 0:11.8 | senior figures in the federal government, among a relatively small group of people on whom Donald |
| 0:16.6 | Trump relies to advise him and to carry out his agenda. So it might be worth taking a closer look |
| 0:20.9 | at the job they've done so far. And I want to start with Christy Noem, the former governor of South |
