Chapter 1: What did Trump say during his visit to disaster zones?
President Trump visits North Carolina and California using his first official trips to speak directly with victims of natural disasters.
I've called and called and called FEMA. This happened on September 27th. Well, for us, today is still September 27th. You know, we haven't had help.
I'm Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Monday, January 27th, and this is Morning Wire. The Trump administration is filling out with Kristi Noem and Pete Hegseth wasting no time after being sworn in.
President Trump has picked these nominees because they are reformers, they are disruptors, and this election cycle is about the disruptors versus the establishments.
Which cabinet nominees could be next?
And thousands of pro-life Americans braved the cold for the annual March for Life, with both Trump and Vance speaking to an optimistic crowd.

Chapter 2: How is the Trump administration evolving?
And the permit's going to take them, everybody said, 18 months.
Now, before we go, let's get caught up on the latest immigration news, something Trump has really been focusing on throughout his first week. What have we seen in the last few days?
A lot, John. The president has continued to ramp up deportation efforts, focusing first on illegal immigrants with an existing criminal record. Over the weekend, ICE agents arrested dozens of convicted gang members in Aurora, Colorado, and they made dozens more arrests in Boston, Chicago, and cities across the country.
Trump has ordered many of those criminal migrants to be deported back to their home countries, but not all countries initially were willing to take them back. On Sunday, Colombia's far-left Governor Gustavo Petro refused to allow two deportation flights to land in his country. Trump responded in a major way, vowing to immediately implement 25% tariffs on all Colombian goods.
That rate would rise to 50% next week if the flights are not allowed to land. He also announced a travel ban and immediate visa revocations on Colombian government officials, as well as sanctions on the president. his family, and members of his political party. Wow. So a lot.
But within just hours of that news, Colombia completely reversed course and gave in, with President Petro even offering his own plane to help repatriate deportees. So Trump's threat worked, and the message has definitely been sent to other countries. Take your criminals back or be ready to pay the price. Yeah, pretty hard message to miss at this point.

Chapter 3: What happened at the March for Life event?
Indeed. And just a reminder, you can stream those hearings live on The Daily Wire and, of course, follow along for updates. Tim, thanks so much for reporting. You bet. Pro-life Americans filled the streets of Washington, D.C. on Friday at the March for Life, where J.D. Vance delivered his first public remarks as vice president.
Daily Wire's new White House correspondent, Mary Margaret Olihan, was on the ground for the event, and she joins us now. So, Mary Margaret, there was a big turnout over the weekend. Tell us about the crowd at March for Life.
Hey, Georgia. We don't have official crowd numbers yet, but the permit application estimated they would have about 150,000 marchers this year. And as usual, this is a very youthful event. Many religious high schools and colleges bus students to the march from all over the country. Liberty University in Virginia, for example, sent 1,000 students to the event to stand up for the unborn.
This year's march also came only a few days after Trump's inauguration. And given the political controversy surrounding abortion since the overturn of Roe, we wanted to get a pulse check on how the movement feels about Trump.
How do you feel about our new president? I think it's pretty cool. I'm excited. I am very hopeful that he protects life. I know last term he did, he overturned Roe v. Wade. I know he's been a little hesitant about states' rights and keeping it out of the federal government, which I'm a little bummed about, but I'm hoping that was just for the election.
Now, did you get the sense that the crowd is quite hopeful about another Trump presidency?
Absolutely. They hope and pray that Trump will protect life as he did during his first administration. And given Trump's actions just in the very first week of his presidency, things are looking good. Just this week, Trump pardoned 23 pro-life activists, saying they were unjustly targeted by Biden's DOJ.
The new DOJ also issued guidance saying that the FACE Act, the law that Biden's DOJ used to charge and imprison pro-life protesters, can only be used in really extreme circumstances going forward, like the burning of a pregnancy center or the murder of an abortionist. Trump also signed an executive order ending the use of federal taxpayer dollars to fund or promote abortions, both in the U.S.
and internationally. In a pre-recorded video message to the March for Life, Trump promised the movement, In my second term, we will again stand proudly for families and for life.
