[0:12] He's the guy who wrote the American carnage speech that Trump famously gave. Why hasn't he
[0:18] had this job before if he's so influential and close to the president?

[0:34] she was rewarded handsomely with this role. And Stephen Miller was pretty busy all the while.
[0:40] We've been talking about these ICE enforcement concerns that really helped to turn voters away from
