Summary

The Trump administration's mass deportations remain a major focus of the President's first 100-day agenda, making headlines by sending illegal migrants and alleged gang members to a prison in El Salvador. Recently, federal judges have pushed back on President Trump's executive powers to execute these deportations. Fox News contributor and George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley joins the Rundown to discuss legal disputes surrounding President Trump's deportation powers and some Americans' concerns about due process. The United States' military advantage over China continues to shrink both in the air and the sea. The Trump administration considers China our top national security threat, and earlier this week, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated that the country needs to invest more in the military in the event of a war with Beijing. Former speechwriter for President George W. Bush and author of “The Fate of the Generals: MacArthur, Wainwright, and the Epic Battle for the Philippines,” Jonathan Horn, joins the podcast to discuss the importance of military readiness. Plus, commentary by Orthodox Rabbi, lawyer, and digital strategist Sam (Shlomo) Bregman. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The best way to prevent something like that from happening is to have massive military investments,

and helps keep us safe.

President Donald Trump on inauguration day when he became president once again, stated and restated his intent to rid the United States of all threats within our borders, starting with those unlawfully in the country and deemed a danger to citizens.

inner cities.
