Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on Your Morning Show with Michael dil Choono.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Big Senate confirmation hearings begin today. When we last visited
with John Decker, our White House correspondent, he thought perhaps
Telsea Gabbert might get a rough ride, our FK Junior
might get a rough ride. Any other names you want
to add to that list, John Well.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Pete hegg Set and his confirmation hearing actually gets underway
tomorrow the Senate Armed Services Committee, and there will be
some tough questions for Pete haig Set, counting from Democrats
in particular, but maybe even some Republicans on the Senate
Armed Services Committee, very important position to the Secretary of Defense.
So are there are ten confirmation hearings that will get
(00:43):
underway this coming week. Those are ten individuals hoping to
serve in Donald Trump's administration who require Senate confirmation.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Okay, So they've all gone through the process of meeting
with Republicans and that was to kind of not only,
you know, head off any trouble before it starts, but
also to prepare for it. But the list that we're
going forward with, they feel good about going forward. That
doesn't mean it's not going to come without challenges, right, Well,
that's right.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
You know, nothing's ever a given. Yes, Republicans have a
fifty three forty seven advantage in the US Senate. If
every Republican is voting in unity, then of course that
individual will get through it be confirmed. But that's not
always a sure thing. You have some Republicans who have
(01:31):
expressed some concerns about some of the nominees that we
just spoke about. I don't think that, you know, Donald
Trump is going to get everybody that he wants. I
think he's going at ninety nine point nine percent of
what he wants in terms of people being confirmed, But
there's always one or two people that can't make it.
And sometimes it's because of their FBI background checks. Sometimes
(01:54):
it's because of other issues, maybe issues related to their
financial disclosures. We'll have to wait and see. This process
will take place over the course of the next few weeks,
leading up to, of course, what happens next week. It's
next week that Donald Trump is born in as America's
forty seventh president.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Real quickly, we have the latest Rasmus and fifty four
percent of the American people approve of Donald Trump's transition. Again,
I think Democrats, you know, will handle the process fiery,
but they might want to limit just how much trouble
or should they limit how much trouble they want to cause.
Knowing the American people are somewhat sitting in approval the
(02:35):
way this process is.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Headed, well that's right, you know. And for Joe Biden,
you know, when he went through this process four years
ago his administration, when he was sworn into office, people
forget he had a fifty five percent approval rating, and
you know, six months later that's when it really started tanking.
So I think that you know, there is this honeymoon
period that presidents have. I don't know how long it
(02:56):
will be, but I think most people would like to
see a new presidents succeed. And you know that even
goes for some individuals who may not have been all
thrilled about Donald Trump being elected president. If they're Americans, first,
they want to see the president succeed.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
John Decker is a Supreme Court bar attorney in addition
to being a White House correspondent. I know you got
to listen in to the Supreme Court hearings on the
TikTok case on Friday. We always talk about how you
can tell a lot by the questions the court is asking,
what was your take and should America anticipate at least
the Supreme Court allowing the ban or the sale, the
(03:32):
mandatory sale to go forward.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
My takeaway being in the court for almost two and
a half hours of oral arguments is that they are
not going to throw a lifeline to TikTok. They believe
that the national security concerns override the First Amendment concerns.
And you know, to me, I think that the nineteenth
is going to come. That's the deadline, and if TikTok
(03:56):
is not sold by that time, TikTok and their attorney knowledgs,
we'll go dark. So we'll have to wait and see.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
That is not the Supreme Court banning TikTok. That's the
Supreme Court saying that a national security threat is a
reason to move forward with this mandatory sale. Then it'll
be left up to TikTok. But all indications are TikTok
will not.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Sell, right, Yeah, I don't think they will because that
algorithm is so valuable. It's valuable to the Chinese Communist Party. Michael.
I think that's the reason why they haven't used the
two hundred and seventy days that they've had to seek
out a buyer of TikTok and make some money, you know,
(04:37):
but we'll have to wait and see. The clock is ticking,
and the clock is kicking. Also for the Supreme Court,
they have to turn around an opinion pretty quickly before
that nineteenth deadline rolls around.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
John Decker is always thanks for your comments.
