thank you declan. you always need a lesson like that. and on that very beautiful note, i wish you a very good night from all of our colleagues across the networks of nbc news. thanks for staying up late. see you at the end of tomorrow. >> tonight on all in. >> this decision is lawless, dangerous, destructive. cruel. it's illegal. it's unconstitutional. >> donald trump orders a freeze on federal funds, and his own staff isn't sure what that means. >> are you guaranteeing. >> here that. >> no. >> individual now. on medicaid. >> would see a cut off because of the pause? >> i'll check back on that and get back to you. >> tonight, late developments, blocking parts of trump's order. and the big picture on what the new president is doing. >> donald trump is trying to seize power. that is what is happening. >> then will the judicial branch intervene after trump fires watchdogs and prosecutors? >> do you think he violated. >> the law? well. >> technically. >> yeah. >> but he has. >> the. >> authority to do it. >> and may i have your attention, pl

be released on what day is difficult for us to say right at this point, and it's keith siegel and declan. >> those are the two americans we expect to be released in this first phase. >> well, i'd rather not get into the specifics and names at this point, but we do know that there there are americans that qualify in this first tranche, and we're looking forward to getting them home and back with their families where they belong. >> let's hope that happens. on another major issue, i want to get to you on next month will mark, as you know, the third full year of russia's brutal war against ukraine, donald trump has signaled that he will change the way the u.s. has supported ukraine during this war. can ukraine continue to fight russia without major u.s. military aid? and has the biden administration left them on a path to success in this war? >> the answer to your first question is no. and the answer to your second question is yes. ukraine will continue to need international support for their forces in the field, and the united states has been the leader in providing that support, putting t

after that would be 36 year old declan, who is also injured. then the other five americans in the second phase. is that accurate? >> so the way this deal is structured is that the people who come out in phase one of the deal are people who are wounded, are women, and are what is defined as elderly under the terms of this deal, basically people over the age of 50, which hits a little close to home if you're close to 50. but that's how the deal defines elderly. >> and so the theory there is the most vulnerable people are the ones who should come out first. we see two americans in that category, the two that you just mentioned. after that phase two, there will be a negotiation for how to start phase two, it will be idf soldiers who come out in that second phase, and then in the third phase, remains of hostages who tragically did not survive would come out. phase two is when the war ends definitively with a permanent cease fire. >> but for people who are waiting for an american to come back, obviously amazing footage, amazing news about these three
