| 0:00.0 | It's Tuesday, May 6, 2025. |
| 0:07.0 | I'm Albert Moller, and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview. |
| 0:13.0 | Over the last couple of days, headlines have been dominated by controversy that emerged out of a long format interview President Donald Trump gave to NBC's |
| 0:23.0 | news program, Meet the Press. And this took place on Sunday. Host Kristen Welker was pressing a series |
| 0:30.0 | of questions having to do with the rights of those who are in the country illegally when it comes to |
| 0:36.1 | the constitutional guarantee of due process of law. |
| 0:39.8 | And so even as Christian Welker was pressing these questions, the president responded in just |
| 0:44.5 | about every case by saying, I don't know. |
| 0:46.5 | When he was asked about due process rights and whether or not they applied to those in the |
| 0:50.8 | country illegally, he said, I don't know. |
| 0:53.2 | But the most interesting and frankly, the most |
| 0:56.1 | crucial part of the interview was when Kristen Welker asked the president, quote, don't you need to uphold |

| 1:30.9 | do you need to uphold the Constitution of the United States as president? |
| 1:34.9 | And frankly, President Trump responded with three words, |
| 1:38.3 | no president of the United States should ever use in such a circumstance. |
| 1:42.2 | The question, again, do you need to uphold the Constitution of the United |
| 1:45.9 | States as president? The president's response, I don't know. Then he went on to say again that he has |
| 1:50.7 | brilliant lawyers and that his administration will follow what the Supreme Court says. Now, the explosive |
| 1:57.9 | part is the president saying, I don't know after being asked, don't you need to uphold the Constitution of the United States? |
