>> not yet, brianna. but it is also telling to see where we are as a nation.here you only have someone like senator grassley come out and say what all senators should say regardless of where they feel about whether or not they have seen enough evidence. the whistle-blower deserves to have his or her protection served. and this is something that clearly you don't want to see a precedent being set going forward for future whistle-blowers who might see what is playing out right now and say, you know what, i have a legitimate concern that i would follow the proper channels as well but seeing what is playing out right now, i may have second thousands about that. you've seen the fallout from edward snowden, chelsea manning and throughout all of that period officials say had they followed the proper whistle-blower statutes that we wouldn't be in a situation with snowden and manning and now we're in a situation where the whistle-blower did follow the proper procedures and you have the president seemingly every few hours coming out and talking about the whistle-blower

brianna: right. i think it is definitely an increase from what we see now because candidates completely ignore 40 or so states. right now they are just focusing on 10 battleground states like michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin. if we switch to the national popular vote, you would have to reach out to individuals in more diverse areas. so you would be reaching more of the mass because the current system foregoes about 80% of the electorate. >> jesse you have a book coming , out in the spring on this. what did you learn what did you , hear from people on this topic? >> so it is interesting, the book looks at the history of the electoral college and attempts to change it over the years, but i end with a chapter of talking to campaign managers and field directors from the last 20 or so years from both republican and democratic campaigns. and what was fascinating to me is almost to a person, they all wanted a national popular vote. >> both sides? jesse: yeah both sides. , there were a couple exceptions, yo

walk us through this. >> it's very intertwined, brianna. let's jump into it.irst of all, donald trump -- let me say first first before we get to this. usually presidents take their money and put them into a blind trust, that means a third party handles their investments and finances while they are president to preserve full transparency, they don't see anything. donald trump did not do that. he said, we're not going to do that, i'm going to let don junior and eric manage it. there's no blind trust. let's start there, to the many ways in which this gets entan e entangled and becomes traumatic. the saudis spent $270,000 on hotel rooms at trump international hotel here in washington. 50 plus rooms. the saud dwis, right? someone who would want to influence a president by maybe spending a quarter of a million on rooms. let's keep going. this is -- you've seen donald trump has taken 305 days, which he has gone to some kind of trump property. it could be trump hotel, it could be a trump property somewhere, he spent 305 days. 238 of those days he played golf at those
