About this episode
First: The president elect is standing by his decision to elevate MAGA firebrands to top government positions and tells his team that Matt Gaetz, his attorney general, is the most important pick he will make.
Plus: Is Elon Musk flying too close to the sun? The richest man in the world seems to go everywhere Trump goes and now is using his social media platform to publicly push his favorite cabinet picks.
And: We have new reporting on the hunt to find and fire federal employees the Trump team believes are not totally committed to his cause.
