President Trump continues to sign executive orders at a record pace, reshaping the federal government.
John Bickley 1:42
Joining us now is DailyWire senior editor Cabot Phillips, who has the latest on another whirlwind day in Washington. Hey, Cabot. So Trump has really stunned supporters and critics with the pace of his executive orders. So let's start there. What are we seeing so far from him on executive action?
Cabot Phillips 1:58
well he's at a risk of burning a hole in the resolute desk with how fast he's signing these new orders trump officials told me throughout the transition phase that they had the orders ready to go and would hit the ground running and they were not lying since january 20th donald trump has signed executive orders at a faster pace than any president in modern american history For context, in the last century, only two presidents, Joe Biden and Harry Truman, had signed more than 40 orders during their first 100 days. Trump hit that number in his first two weeks.

How is the Trump administration tackling anti-Christian bias?

John Bickley 2:28
Wow, but it's not a competition, just going to clarify. And many of those orders are turning out to be really popular with Americans, right?
Cabot Phillips 2:36
Yes, they are. For example, Ipsos polling this week found that 64% of Americans support his plan to investigate FEMA for political bias. 62% favor his order overriding California law to bring in more water to the state. 73% support his declassifying of the RFK, JFK, and MLK records. And 59% support reinstating service members discharged for refusing the COVID vaccine. But most popular has been his order to ban biological men from women's sports, which he signed Wednesday. According to a New York Times poll, 79% of Americans support that plan, including even 67% of Democrats. And on Thursday, Trump announced his newest order, this one on religious freedom. Speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast, he said he'd be assigning the Department of Justice to form a task force to quote eradicate anti-Christian bias around the country, specifically targeting any discrimination of Christians by the federal government.
Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection) 3:31
The mission of this task force will be to immediately halt all forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination within the federal government. The task force will work to fully prosecute anti-Christian violence and vandalism in our society and to move heaven and earth to defend the rights of Christians and religious believers nationwide.
Cabot Phillips 3:54
Newly confirmed Attorney General Pam Bondi will be tasked with overseeing that force, and she's also rolling out a number of DOJ reforms in her first week. In a memo to staffers, Bondi threatened to fire anyone who, quote, undermines the constitutional order and deprives the president of the benefit of his lawyers, a.k.a. anyone subverting orders from the White House.
