jackie: a peace through strength, larry. happy valentine's day. larry: thank you. appreciate it. jackie: hello, everyone, i'm jackie deangelis this special edition of "the evening edit" starts right now. ♪ >> 75,000's a lot of people. and we paid hem well, you know? we ghei them a lot of -- gave them a lot of months of receive rants pay, if you call it that -- severance. we want to downsize government but make it better. run it better but downsize. finish. jackie: doge, pull speed ahead. tonight, the latest cuts to government waste and the latest government bureaucrats kicked to the curb. we've got the latest numbers that have democrats in a panic. ambassador he can key seems pretty happy though -- can huckabee -- his reaction in just moments. also tonight -- >> as -- at the end of the day, this government's going to shrink. this president was elected to reduce the size of government. he's allowed to do that. jackie: democrats piling up the

legal cases against government cuts, anything to protect their presenter, bloated -- precious, bloated government. julian epstein says trump has never had more authority to run the executive branch however he wants. he peeks out in moments. also this tonight -- >> what i are hear is a copy of donald trump's tax returns. we have his federal tax return for one year, for 2005. i believe this is the only set of the president's federal taxes that reporters are -- have ever gotten ahold of. he paid $38 million, looks like $38 million in taxes. jackie: remember that one? that was rachel maddow with her the dud of a scoop on trump's tax returns. tonight she's got another bridge the sell her audience. we're not going to believe what she made up about a elon musk now. plus, this story -- >> everything that they are doing could not work out more humiliatingly and continues to do so.

>> democrats just lost everything. >> it's their government. what a leverage do we have? jackie: -- democrats breaking up with their own party this valentine's day. coming up, the federalist's brianna lineman is here with some relationship advice for the forlorn party. president trump says doge will be examining the the internal revenue service at the elon musk-led department looks to cut red tape and spending there. hillary vaughn at the white house with the story for us. >> reporter: jackie, well, doge has set its sights on the irs is. they are auditing the auditors. while biden wanted to to expand the irs work force, president trump has a different idea, do more with less. the "wall street journal" reports that a doge team member requested meetings with senior officials at the irs and was interested in the agency's head count. they reportedly do not have access though to your tax

returns. no access to the agency computer system ises or taxpayer information. the people in this country strongly support the irs to be audited, because the irs audits every single american. why month they also be held to that same standard? that's, in fact, what the trump administration is doing under the direction of elon musk. >> reporter: while doge digs in at the irs, the treasury inspector-general is starting their own audit. they say they're going to dig into fraudulent and improper payments at treasury, also looking into whether or not sensitive payment information was improperly accessed by anyone if on musk's team. that's manager democrats continue to -- something democrats continue to warn about. >> you can't spell felon without elon. >> elon musk spent over $280 million to elect donald trump, and donald trump is now allowing him to rampage through federal agencies. >> trump and musk like to say we're reading out -- rooting out

fraud, waste and abuse. we're looking at a efficiency. that that's a dog whistle. >> reporter: and, jackie, the fraud should not be hard to find because there's a lot of it. the government accountability office a estimating9 that the federal government loses as much as $500 billion every year due to fraud. jackie? jackie: hillary vaughn, thank you so much for that. >> this is highway robbery. this is the federal government having already allocated, authorized, awarded, invoiced and paid $80.5 million to the city of new york. and then elon musk, with no legal authority, seizing it back from the city of new york. it is highway robbery, and the city can't stand for it. jackie: new york city comptroller brad lander now complaining about elon musk taking back that $80 million that was misappropriated by fema to the city of new york to put

illegal immigrants in luxury hotels. this is on the news that government cuts keep coming. nearly 1300 probationary employees at the cdc are now being forced out. under the trump administration's move to get rid of all a probationary employees. let's welcome former arkansas governor and president trump's nominee for u.s. ambassador to israel, mike huckabee. governor, it's great to have you with us tonight. thank you so much for being here. >> well, jackie, great to be with you. i love this guy from new york. jackie: yeah. >> he's basically saying, hey, i want that money back that i stole from the taxpayers. how dare you take your money back that i shouldn't be having that was misappropriated. i mean, you can't make this stuff up. jackie: it's really fascinating. and it's not just the fema funds that were misappropriated, but we're also talking about these cuts to the cdc today that everybody is in outrage about. it's about 10% of the work force. they've got a $9.2 billion core budget, and this was the statement from the

communications person at hhs. they said, hhs is following the administration's guidance and taking action to support the president's broader efforts to restructure and streamline the federal government. this is to ensure that hhs better serves the american people at the highest and most efficient standard. now, i remember times in the past specifically, governor, during covid where the cdc was not serving the american public. that's all donald trump wants them to do. why is everybody freaking out? if. >> well, not everybody is. i think if you get about 30 miles from the beltway, people are dancing in the streets and celebrating. it's finally a moment where you got government people who are looking into how the taxpayers' money are ec -- ecstatic about it. he said he was going to do it, and he did it. i love what's going on. elon musk and the group of young guys that i call the revenge of the nerds, it's the greatest

thing that's happened probably in my lifetime in relation to the federal government. and i think all these guys ought to get a presidential medal for going in and finding this ridiculous amount of spending. now, sure, there's system good things that government does, and i don't want to minimize that. i appreciate that our government does things that we want them to do, we need them to do. but let's do those things is and not the stupid tough. and for the democrats to stand the out on the curb and yell and scream and use profanity, basically they're saying we demand gigger government -- bigger government, more waste. that's what we stand for. squawk jack exactly. >> it just makes them look absurd. jackie: well, this is interesting because democrat congressman dean phillips wants his party to stop fighting against elon and join him, arguing that government waste popular amongst americans. remember, more than 75 million people voted for donald trump, and they are for this. let's watch. >> democrats are only focused on one thing right now, mr. musk. the fact of the matter, he's quite popular. i think we're missing the boat

as democrats, and all i'm saying is that sometimes it's better to join them and actually play a role in how the strategy works rather than so pathetically, frankly, try to combat something that clearly is a steam roller. democrats are being steam rolled, and i'm deeply concerned about that. jackie: and this is in sharp contrast to democratic senator chris murphy's call for full-sail op -- scale opposition to musk. why are people still fighting it? >> you know, dean phillips should have been elected the chairman of the dnc. what he's saying is exactly right, and people would have appreciated him saying, look, we don't agree with everything the republicans are doing, but we want to join them in rooting out fraud, waste and abuse. we just want to make sure they don't throw away the good things. they could identify them and would have had some credibility. what they're doing now makes them look completely irrational. jackie: absolutely. governor mike huckabee, we appreciate your time. thank you so much for being here. >> thank you.

jackie: all right. the democrats trying to stop government cuts with more lawfare. 19 democrat state a. a g.s now trying to stop elon musk expect department of government efficiency from having access, just having access. all they want to do is look at the treasury department's central payment if system, the bureau of fessing call services. fox news' bryan llenas live from the manhattan federal court many if new york city with the details. hey, bryan. >> reporter: hey, key, good evening. after hearing arguments today, a federal judge here in new york says she will decide at a later date whether or not to grant a preliminary injunction, that means continuing to block elon musk and doge from directly accessing the u.s. treasury department's central payment system. now, it's called the bureau of fiscal service is. this is where9 90% of the government's annual federal payments, that's $5 trillion, is processed. this is how most money is

disbursed to federal agencies including social security payments, veterans' benefits, tax refunds and and federal grant funds given the states like medicaid. lawyers representing 19 state attorneys general argued in court today that a elon musk and politically-appointed doge employees are violating americans' privacy, saying they're not authorized to access the sensitive football day saw saw -- financial data of americans like social security numbers,, numbers and addresses. and that this has left americans vulnerable to hacking. >> no one elected elon musk and his minions, and to one has allowed him to have access to this information. >> this is the largest day breach in american history. that's what this is. >> reporter: now, direct access to this payment system allows musk and doge to quickly stop or redirect federal funds and to conduct independent audits. earlier today on fox news, u.s.

attorney general pam bondi blasted this lawsuit against doge. >> the president's going to prevail, sure, but the president, of course, is going to prevail. he's looking out for our tax dollars. and it's absurd that that's their best argument a, oh, we're worried about hackers? >> reporter: now, president trump's lawyers also representing the u.s. treasury department said today that, ultimately, it is constitutional a, that this is in the purview of the executive branch to allow president trump to dictate how his administration is going the run. if jackie? jackie: bryan llenas, thank you so much for that. >> at the end of the day, this government's going to to shrink. this president was elected to reduce the size of government. if he's allowed to do that. these employees want this deal. their own unions are opposing something they want, and it's in the a scam. the government is bound by this deal. he is allowed to have musk

working through the white house. they have treasury people and -- the i.g. are doing their own investigation if along the same lines. all of that is per if missable. jackie: that was legal expert jonathan turley saying that president trump is allowed to shrink the federal government. as a federal judge in massachusetts hands trump a rickety on his federal worker buyout plan, that that judge ruling that the union challenging the trump buy without had no standing, meaning basically that none of their workers were even involved. in addition to that, the court itself had no authority. basically, this is just a frivolous lawsuit put up by obstructionist democrats waging lawfare. joining us now for reaction, former house judiciary chief counsel under clinton and attorney julian epstein. julian, it's great to have you on this subject tonight. wow, there are a lot of cases outstanding, and is we're following a lot of different aspects of it here. but the constitutional crisis

that the democrats are screaming about is really the one that they are creating which is that they're creating more lawfare. for example, that boston judge, judge o'toole, really looked at this and realized without any jurisdiction, without participants actually litigating in this particular case, he would look like a fool to block president trump's buyout. finish. >> well, jackie, thanks for having me. it's great to be with you. there is no constitutional crisis, and president trump made it clear that he'll abide by whatever court decisions come down. so there is no constitutional crisis. and moreover, trump is likely to win on all the major issues. trump as the chief executive of the executive branch has the right to go in and audit and access payments, and he has the right to have his designee do that in elon musk. so the access to the payment systems is perfectly constitutional. he has the right to to rescind or to slow down federal payments so long as they are not earmarked. he has the right to do work

force reductions within limits. now, there may be challenges on second order issues. i can imagine a judge saying if musk gets access to payment systems, he has to insure that privacy information isn't leak ared to the public. that's reasonable. i could see issues in terms of what lower level service employees may have, but these are secondary issues. for the most part, trump has all of the authority he is going to need x. to the extent that some of these issues have not been decided and go to the supreme court, you're going to see happen exactly what happened in the ballot access, trump's ballot to issue in colorado and the immunity decisions which are the supreme court has a made it very, very clear that that they do not regard the bureaucratic state as a fourth branch of government. they believe that it is an article ii executive branch, within the article ii executive

branch powers, can and they will come down on the side of trump. the democrats are walking into a legal trap where heir going to lose this issue, and they're going to be embarrassed. politically, this is a disaster for them. the public is on the side of trump here, not the democrats. jackie: i think you're right. and i think they're just trying to slow things down, but that's not even happening. julian, we really appreciate your time tonight. and have a wonderful -- thank you and have a wonderful weekend. >> thanks for having me, jackie. >> they better clean their [bleep] up if they want to compete. >> they don't control the house, they don't control the senate, they don't control the white house. >> we are flooded in [bleep], and we are searching for a way to deal with this. jackie: oh, please, cry me a are river. democrats heart broken this valentine's day. they're ready to call it quits with their own party. this is something not even flowers or to chocolate can possibly fix. coming up, the federalist's brianna lineman is here with some self-love advice for those

depressed democrats. also, remember this one? >> america, like every other nation, has made mistakes. and has its faults. >> in america there's a failure to appreciate europe's leading role in the world. there have been times where america's shown arrogance. jackie: who could forget effecter barack obama's european apology tour? those days are over, folks. respect vance giving europeans a reality check today. former trump state department official christian whiton is here to e act to that sound. but first, this. >> we're about to find out if the new president of our country is going to do what russia wants. the presidency is effectively a russian op. jackie: that didn't age very well. now rachel maddow has another whopper telling her audience about a elon musk. ford o'connell reacts to that sound after this. >> one of the things that's also true about oligarchic societies, the warning about old oligarchy.

>> as the top campaign donor to to u.s. president donald trump, elon musk has apparently i somehow convinced the united states government, specifically the united states department of state, that the taxpayers of the united states of america should spend $400 million buying, quote, armored tesla production units. jackie: m if snbc's rachel maddow was attempting to set off a conspiracy theory about elon musk expect trump administration, accuse president trump and musk of corruption over a potential $400 million purchase of armored tesla vehicles through a state department contract. however, mad dow omitted a crucial detail of this story. the planned purchase was listed in a procurement document published in december under former president joe biden's administration. weeks before trump even took office. but she's not the only one trying to fabricate so-called

particular moment, but thats he is doing this because of the ad revenue from the doge x account? is that what their saying? >> that's the most ridiculous argument i've ever heard for the man who's the richest man on earth. many democrats across this country are suffering from an extreme case of emds is, elon musk derangement syndrome. and they're spreading disinformation, misinformation. there might be a reason why more democrats are watching fox news based on that misinformation, disinformation. jackie: i mean, you can't make this up. they're saying he's an oligarch, and tish james is saying, well, he wasn't vetted, and he shouldn't have access to look at a, you know, treasury and its payment suspects. one of the arguments made many that montage there is that he's using spacex to put things up into space that aren't supposed to be there? will they stop at nothing? >> no, they've got to keep going until they can figure out a way the actually somehow control the narrative. the law's on trump's side, the

narrative's on trump's side, and so is the issues. here's the beauty of emds, it causes the democrats, the liberal media to defend the indefensible. and at the same time, they also look completely irrational. so is guess what? if they keep on down this road, donald trump is going to be -- republicans are going to crush it in the midterms at the rate we're going. jackie: is there a medication for this emds? because they're melting down. >> i'm hoping there isn't.

[inaudible conversations] [background sounds] jackie: from joe biden wandering the world stage to america first confronting it, vice president j.d. vance and defense secretary pete hegseth ditching the climate change and equity talk. they are calling out europe for if choosing migrants over safety. >> and asylum seeker, often a young man in his mid 20s, already known to police, rams a car into a crowd can and shatters a community. how many times must we suffer these appalling setbacks before we change course and take our shared civilization if in a new direction? many to voter on this continent

went to the ballot box to open the floodgates to millions of unvetted immigrants. and speaking up and expressing opinions isn't election interference. even when people express views outside your own country and even when those people are very influential. and trust me, i say this with all humor, if american democracy can survive ten years of greta thune berg scolding, you guys can survive a few months of elon musk. >> after a world war ii, first general and then-president eisenhower was one of nay -- nato's strongest supporters. he believed in a strong relationship with europe. however, by the end of eisenhower's presidency, even he was concerned that europe was not how olderring enough of -- shoulders enough of its own defense. nearly making, in eisenhower's words, quote, a sucker out of uncle sam. jackie: former trump state

policies. listen to this. >> and, unfortunately, when i look at europe today, it's sometimes not so clear what happened to some of the cold war's winners. i look to brussels where e.u. commissars warned citizens they intend to shut down social media during times of civil unrest the moment they spot what they've judged to be, quote, hateful content. or this very country where police have carried out raids against citizens suspected of posting anti-feminist comments online as part of, quote, combating my -- misogyny on the internet, a day of action. i come here today not just with an observation, but with an offer. of just as the biden administration seemed desperate to silence people for speaking their minds, so the trump administration will do precisely the opposite, and i hope that that we can work together on that. jackie: refreshing, right? >> it is. and the european if heat has

done worse than what the democrat and liberal elite has in america just as they called people who opposed covid vaccines and school closures nazis here. they have done the same in europe to an even greater degree. they're censoring people, doing everything except being accountable to their vote, and that's -- voters, and that's what the vice president called out. jackie: christian, we've got to run, but we'll have you back soon. >> because the [bleep] kicking that's been laid upon them in all aspects -- >> rather than so pathetically, frankly, try to combat something that clearly is a steam the roller j. the ralphly's -- cavalry's not coming. jackie: no amount of chocolates or roses can fix this mess. the federalist's brianna if lyman has ad a vice for democrats. >> donald j. trump is now president of the united states.
