Chapter 1: What is the state of Trump's legal battles and judicial challenges?
Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Okay, there is so much news. I, I, there's so much news. I am thinking about the lawfare against Donald Trump just as much as Chuck Schumer is dreaming about Elon Musk. That's what's happening right now. We are in day 58 of Trump's presidency and the resistance is out in full force.
This term, it's in the courts. We saw them use the courts against Trump to try to prevent him from getting to be the presidential nominee and to be the president. And now they are using it to try to ruin his second presidential term. They used impeachment. twice during the first term. Now they're using the court's ad nauseum during the second term to try to block his entire agenda.
And they have very compliant, willing district court judges appointed by Obama and Biden helping them, helping them. They are trying to block Trump's clear constitutional powers when it comes to who serves in the military, in his military, of which he is the commander in chief. You've got some woke LGBTQ female justice judge who thinks she knows better.
Who the hell elected you, Judge Reyes, as commander-in-chief of the military? And not just the military. You got the border. You got hiring and firing inside the executive branch and much, much more. And this is nowhere near over. Perfect guests for today. It is an NR day here at the MK Show. Charles C.W. Cook, senior editor and host of the Charles C.W. Cook podcast.

Charlie Rich, welcome back. Great to have you. Let's kick it off with Judge Anna Reyes.
I mean, I'm at my wits end about some of this lawfare, but this one in particular. Let me just tell you something, okay? You can be kicked out of the military for your height, your weight, and your vision. These things can get you ejected from the American military. You can get kicked out if you're on the autism spectrum. You can get kicked out if you have certain mood disorders.
You can get kicked out if you have ADD. ADD. If you have depression. If you have history of a single adjustment disorder, depending on the circumstance, history of an eating disorder, all of that, the military can say you may not serve.

Chapter 2: Why is Judge Anna Reyes's ruling controversial?
All you have to prove is Marco Rubio made a reasonable determination.
I think Marco Rubio's reasonable determination will prevail here. I do suspect this might take a while, though, because there are a bunch of complicated questions that will gum up the works. One is whether or not what he engaged in was speech. I think a lot of it was not. But the... Half the country thinks it was. And then there's the fact that he has become a green card holder.
And a green card holder is a U.S. person. They can still be deported. But the criteria for deportation is much narrower. And of course, he has an American wife who is pregnant. And I think she's eight months pregnant. So in one month, he's going to be the father of an American citizen. No, well, it is and it isn't. It's going to gum up the works, though, I think. But I think Marco Rubio's...
Here we go again, C squared. Let's do this. It's irrelevant. It's something that he used to pull on the heartstrings of the judge, but it has absolutely no legal relevance that you're married to an American or about to have an American baby.
Well, it doesn't. It doesn't in that we've been discussing some judges who are bad and who are willing to put themselves in the way of the Trump agenda based on flimsy pretexts. And until you meet a panel of judges who is not doing that, then this is going to grind on. I mean, I think it could take a year as it winds its way through the system. And I think some of
The questions and we'll find out who's right, I suppose. But I think some of the questions that are going to be litigated here are what constitutes the rights of a US person, which is a green card holder, whether it matters that he was a US person after the various actions were taken.
Well, no, but I mean, of course, U.S. person is a term of legal art, which, you know, but it's it's it's not synonymous with American citizen. It's not. You're not allowed to get public benefits. You're not allowed to vote. There are all sorts of rights that the three of us have as Americans that he doesn't have.
Correct. But for example, and I'm not actually arguing with you here, even if I sound like it, but for example, a U.S. person is allowed to own a gun. I know this having been a U.S. person before I became a citizen. You can own a gun. And the Supreme Court has ruled that right of the people to keep in bare arms applies to U.S. person. So there will be a judge. I promise you this.
There is going to be a judge who looks at this, says the First Amendment supersedes Marco Rubio's argument, and that as a U.S. person, he is protected. Oh, yeah, there could be a judge. And I should point out that one of the reasons that...
