Carol.
I'm Carol Rosenberg from the New York Times.
Right now I'm sitting alone in the press room at the US Navy base at Guantanamo Bay.
I've been coming here since four months after the 911 attacks.
I've probably spent around 2,000 nights at this Navy base.
It's hard to get here.
It's hard to get news from the prison.
Often, you know, I'm the only reporter here.
The New York Times takes you to difficult and controversial places, and that takes resources.
You can power that kind of journalism by subscribing to the New York Times.
From the New York Times, I'm Michael Balbaro.
This is the Daily.
Since his inauguration, President Trump has exercised.
A level of power that has directly.
Challenged the checks and balances that on paper define the US Government.
Today I gathered three of my colleagues, Maggie Haberman, Jonathan Swan and Charlie Savage,
to talk about the absence of resistance and about Trump's plans to make a more powerful presidency permanent.
It's Friday, January 31st.
Friends, welcome back.
Some of you, welcome to the Roundtable.
