5:00 pm
i'm thinking... (speaking to self) about our honeymoon. what about africa? safari? hot air balloon ride? swim with elephants? wait, can we afford a safari? great question. like everything, it takes a little planning. or, put the money towards a down-payment... ...on a ranch ...in montana ...with horses let's take a look at those scenarios. j.p. morgan wealth management has advisors in chase branches and tools, like wealth plan to keep you on track. when you're planning for it all... the answer is j.p. morgan wealth management. larry: all right. next week, hope springs eternal, next week i'm looking for the house to pass one big, beautiful bill. trump tax cuts, doge dividend, doge budget cuts. one big, beautiful bill. let's get this train back on track. and liz macdonald is going to drive the train as a new engineer. breath elizabeth i'll try to keep it on the rails. [laughter] larry, you're hysterical.
5:01 pm
what a time to be alive, and i'm so glad to be here with you. larry: oh, it's good fun. and you're fabulous. elizabeth: have you been around since 1790? if i want to have what you're having, larry. larry: those were my best years. good show, liz. breath breath breaking fuse coming in p. this is "the evening edit." is the governor of maine here? are you not going to comply with it? >> i'm complying with state and federal law. >> well, we are the federal law. well, you better do it. you better do it, because you're not going to get any funding if you don't. and your population, even though it's somewhat liberal, your population doesn't want men playing in women's sports, so you better comply because otherwise you're not getting any federal funding -- >> [inaudible] >> good, i'll see you in court. breathed breath a big fight breaking out at the white house. president trump told the democrat governor of maine, maine will lose federal funding
5:02 pm
if maine continues to allow biological males in women's sports, defying the president's order from a couple of weeks ago. the breaking news, the trump education department just opened a few civil rights probe into maine, violating women's civil rights. maine could lose a quarter billion in federal funding. larry elder is a here in moments to respond to that. plus, trump won a sixth victory many count, another judge just gave trump the green light to layoff usaid workers. this is his sixth victory in court. also this -- >> so americans vote for radical fbi reform, and fbi agents say they don't want to change. or americans vote for radical reforms on you are policies that epa bureaucrats don't want to change. americans vote to to end racist deeverything i policies. what president trump is doing is he is removing federal bureaucrats who are defying
5:03 pm
democracy by failing to implement his lawful orders which are the will of the the whole american people. elizabeth: here's the hot new debate: or democrats in the media a wall to wall talking about the stress and trauma of trump and doge letting go unnecessary government workers. clinton did it, by the way. but why are democrats in the media ignoring private sector workers laid off nationwide at a places like facebook, jpmorgan chase, chevron, kohl's? and also why ignore the u.s. oil and gas workers who also lost their jobs when joe biden and if john kerry cut into u.s. energy telling them, go learn software code. ben ferguson is here in moments to to respond. plus, we've got this story tonight -- >> he just took off on me. [inaudible conversations] [background sounds]
5:04 pm
elizabeth: whoa. we've got more new footage of that wild police chase in illinois. they're a chasing down dangerous illegal alien drug traffickers. plus, we've got new sound coming in of chicago voters commanding, again, democrats please stop the madness. you're hurting us. plus, new data that is coming many too on trump's success in shutting the border. but first this -- >> the ncaa has complied immediately, by the way, that's good. but i understand maine is -- is maine here in the governor of maine in. >> [inaudible] >> are you not going to comply with it? >> i'm complying with state and federal laws. >> well, i'm -- we are the federal law. >> [inaudible] >> well, you better do it. you better do it, because you're not going to get any federal funding, and is by the way, your pop alation -- even though it's somewhat liberal even though the i did well there -- doesn't want
5:05 pm
men playing in women's sports, so you better comply because otherwise you're not getting any federal funding. >> see you many court. >> every state -- good, i'll see you in court. i look forward to that. that should be a real easy one. and seven joy your with life after a governor, because i don't think you'll be in elected politics. elizabeth: whoa. that was president trump sparring with democrat maine governor janet mills for refusing to comply, maine is refusing to comply with president trump's executive order banning biological men from women's sports. moments ago trump's education department opened up a a brand new civil rights investigation into maine's education department and a school district saying state laws do not override federal anti-discrimination laws. maine must abide by title ix. they're violating women's rights. joining us now, former presidential candidate, elder for america pac founder, larry elder. larry, when you saw this, what was your reaction? the president is saying the state of maine is violating
5:06 pm
women's, women athletes' civil is rights. what's your take? >> well, liz, thank you for having me. my reaction is i don't understand why the governor of maine feels this is the hill to die on. it's an 80-20 the issue. overwhelmingly -- [laughter] americans don't like the idea of biological men if compete against biological women. trump issued an executive order. the ncaa promptly changed tear regulations to to comply with it, and i don't know why maine has a problem with this. donald trump is going to the withhold federal funding from maine. it's going to to hurt not just funding for athletics, but funding for everything. and i don't see why he doesn't have the power to do that. after all, remember when joe biden bragged he was withholding a billion dollars million they fired -- from ukraine until they fired the prosecutor? everything he does, donald trump gets sued for. if he expels gas in the white house pantry, he'll be viewed. ultimately -- he'll be sued. ultimately, it'll work up to the supreme court, and i believe donald trump which will prevail.
5:07 pm
elizabeth: a new new york times poll -- a new york times poll, the majority of democrats say no to biological males in women's sports. 67% of democrats support trump's executive order. so why is the democrat governor of maine resisting voters here? if. >> well, maine, of course, is more left wing, i think, than the rest of the country, so maybe she's just currying favor with some of the left-wing people in maine. bottom line, it is the so incredibly unfair. i remember watching a speech by the swimmer that lia a thomas competed existence, and lia thomas was an okay swimmer against men, but he's shattering records including nca a a female records. it is incredibly unfair. men are bigger, they're faster, they're stronger which is why we don't allow boxers to fight female fighters, why we have weight divisions even among men. it's just incredibly unfair. elizabeth that's a great point. >> again, why would somebody want to fight this issue?
5:08 pm
elizabeth: that's a great point about boxing, larry. women athletes lose advertising revenue from doing commercials, they lose out on scholarships, they lose out on so much. let's now switch over to what's gown on at the pentagon -- going on at the pentagon. pentagon chief pete hegseth has been moving to the wipe ou these far-left ideologies from the pentagon. let's get yo take on secretary hegseth. he released a video of himself fact checking the media, pushi back on what they've been reporting. he says they're doing it wro. watch. >> welcome doge and finding those efficiencies is how we save taxpayer dollars. that is a good thing tt, oven, is being distorted through the media -- of course. the cond story in the news is our work reorienting the budget that that we inherited. thmedia wants to call these exclusively cuts, but it's the oppote, of course, as always is the case. we are pulling around a 8%, or $50 biion, from thbiden budget.
5:09 pm
the third and final bogus story that is out there is around our reevaluation of our probationary if work th force. bottom line, it is the simply not in the public interest to retain individuals whose contributions are not mission-create chasm and to restore accountability within the federal work force. elizabeth: what do you think of this? we've never seen this before. this feelsike a reckoning for the media. now we see, larry, by the way, more people in the media are stepping down from their prior media posts. it's not just nora to donnell and and -- norah o'donnell and chubb todd. now it's charles lowe. mock, criticized for cralycks e claiming in 2023 there was a, quote, manufactured panic over biden's age. a year later biden was forced out of the race because of his cognitive decline. what do you make of all in ts? >> the media is hess popular
5:10 pm
than -- less poppe popular than congress, if you can belief it. ratings are going down at many of these legacy tv networks, so they're financially in trouble. that's what's going on here. bottom line is the american people like what a donald trump is doing. 70% of the people say donald trump is simply fulfilling his campaign promises, and they like what he's doing on the border, what he's trying to do about a prices, they like what he's doing about a gas. so ty have nothing other to do than pout and file lawsuits and call him a fascist and a nazi. elizabeth: okay. larry elder, you're terrific. have a great weekend. staying on this story, the democrats are taking their fight against doge to the court with to about a dozen lawsuits. president trump just won his sixth lawsuit. a federal judge just said, yes, trump can, has the authority to lay off workers at a usaid. it was a rogue agency that got out of control. it's now inside the state department, and and they're trying to superb the funding for
5:11 pm
usaid a, by the way, to restore funding for charities in africa, asia a and elsewhere around the worldment but hillary vaughn is on capitol hill with more of what's going on with doge. watch. >> reporter: good evening, liz. turns out going high-tech and modernizing our government agencies is as simple as bringing them into this century. using things like high-speed internet and ditching things like floppy disks. >> the faa uses their own internet, right in spacex uses -- everyone uses the internet. they have their own internet, d it doesn't work. it'll, it'll go out. the faa's to using floppy disks to manage some of their system ises. and, again, some gen-zers might not know what that is, but if you're old enough, this is ancient technology. >> reporter: the government spends 80% of its i.t. budget with, $80 billion, just maintaining to old, outdated technology instead of upgrading. some of the tech that government agencies are still operating on
5:12 pm
is over 50 years old. a's before the internet existed for the general public. tackling these things, elon musk says, won't just save money, but make the government work faster and more efficiently for tax a tayers. musk says democrats who have been downplaying the savings don't care about american taxpayers whose money is being wasted. >> they really lack empathy for the average taxpayer who's working hard, paying a taxes and then they say, oh, a million dollars doesn't matter. i'm, like, i think it matters a lot. just finish -- push on things just a little bit, like, just a little bit. it's wild. >> reporter: there's talk of a doge dividd, but it doesn't seem like speaker mike johnson is onboard with putting a this in the reconciliation package. instead, he thinks all of doge's savings should go to paying off our debt. liz? elizabeth: got i. hillary vaughn, thank you so much. now listen the this -- >> so are you defending $7 is billion in fraud?
5:13 pm
if peter, that's a lot of mone far too much, and that's why this administration -- why is the media so against cutting waste, fraud and abuse from the government -- >> i just want to ask a questio- >> we will not be deterred from people like you in the press who are clearly adamantly opposed to cutting waste, fraud and abuse. but we know that american taxpayers at home who have been strugen with an inflationary crisis don't want their tax dollars going towards crazy dei programs and countries oversee ises. -- overseas. they also don't like the fact that there has been a $7 is billion worth of -- 71 billion worth of fraud in social security and in improper payments going out the door. president trump is going to fix it. elizabeth: okay. that was press secretary karoline leavitt pushing back on nbc's peter alexander asking why is the media against cutting waste, fraud and abuse in joining us now, the host of the ben ferguson podcast, ben ferguson. wonderful to see you again, ben.
5:14 pm
>> good to see you. elizabeth: we're seeing a pushback -- i see that you're at a cpac -- >> a pushback against doge. they are trying to cut out the waves that's built up over a generation -- waste that's built up over a generation and longer in the government. what do you a. >> i'm laughing at a democrats. i was with elon yesterday here at cpac and, look, the guy is, like, laser focused on finding the fraud, the waste and abuse and then exposing it to the american people. i think what you're witnessing right now is the pushback which is fear-mongering. that's all the left and the media has to say, well, you can't do this because you're letting people look at things that might be too important to our country is so is, therefore, you're not allowed to cut waste, fraud and abuse. this is all fear mongering, and they're not going to stop. i think that's what you just heard from the white house press secretary who's on the stage behind me right now. she's saying we don't work for you, the media, okay? we work for the american people. the american people are telling
5:15 pm
us they a want us to keep finding this. elon musk has said the same thing. i'm tech support. i'm here the find it -- elizabeth: yeah, but i'll tell you -- yes, got it. the white house did just put up guardrails around a doge saying doge cannot, cannot access individual, private taxpayer irs data at the irs. they can see anonymous, like -- >> sure. elizabeth: -- they did put up that guardrail. so doge went in there, this were not -- wait. the guardrail as were not put up. now the safeguards, their saying, are put around protecting national security information. you do not want national security information leaked out anywhere. we get it about doge -- >> totally agree. elizabeth: wait. we get it about a elon musk and the engineers, we get it, but this is a serious issue about protecting the privacy and also national security inside the government. we want to mover on to this. >> yeah -- elizabeth: 2k3wd, take it on. >> no, i was just going to to say, i think it's important to
5:16 pm
say what elon musk was saying yesterday is, look, i'm fine if there's guardrails and there's things we do when we realize there needs to be protection like you just mentioned, but don't tell me i can't do my job in the name of everything being a possible issue of national security which is exactly what the deep state is doing, exactly what congress is doing when democrats say is, you can't do this. every time they slap down, it's a possibility of a national security issue, that's not going to be good enough. you have to be careful that people are going to exploit ploit to that to their advantage. having these rails put up, i think most americans are in favor of of that, but you can't just say to to doge come anything and doing their work. elizabeth: yeah, we've got to to move on. it's a serious is issue at the treasury, it's a serious issue at the irs is, and it's to be a serious is issue at the pentagon. >> sure. elizabeth: again, it's a private privacy and national security issue. ben, thanks for taking it onst it's good to see you. have fun at cpac pac. now let's move on to this.
5:17 pm
watch. >> he just took off on me get. your hands up! get 'em up, get 'em up, turn around -- [background sounds] >> get down on the ground. elizabeth: okay. we're going to show you the exclusive footage that fox news got. a wild police chase of illegal alien drug traffickers in illinois. the details are shocking. stick right here for the full video. also this tonight -- >> if an underpass was constructed such that it busted carrying mostly black and puerto rican kids to a beach -- or it would have been in new york was designed too low for it to pass by, that obviously reflects racism that went into those design choices. elizabeth: remarkably idiotic information. do you want the know why those bridges in new york were low? because buses were lower then. buses were designed lower then. hard hat pete, he was all in on demanding america go along with his woke ideology and dei.
5:18 pm
now he's doing a major flip-flop saying, you know what? it was a bad idea. how that's going to add to the trust in democrat politicians? are democrats running for america or for their own ideology that americans don't want? we've got the sound. plus, this story -- >> we know we can lower emissions, and we will do that by providing $20 billion to the national network of nonprofit, community lenders and other financial institutions. to fund tens of thousands of climate and clean energy projects across america. elizabeth: well, looks like democrats have been benefiting and exploiting that spending. we've got new controversies erupting over biden's massive climate slush fund spending of your money. a new report, a top biden official overseeing that money reportedly gave billions of your tax dollars to his former employer. we got the details. but first, trump's fbi director,

5:28 pm
federal government. then add a to that that that they don't take seriously, you were or talking about people's privacy. the irs itself doesn't pay attention to your privacy. yes, when elon musk and and others go if in we should be very careful to make sure people's day is private, but there are 900 people in the government who have access to unmasked irs data including 20 the student volunteers. elizabeth: right. >> so there -- and when they leaked and one of the contractors leaked the president, president trump's tax returns and those of to tens of thousands of other people, the democrats had no interest in that. they fought ever finding what was going on. the administration under biden hid what was happening a. we need real protections for the privacy of the american people from the irs itself. elizabeth: you're right. i mean, we have seen, you know, the i.g. for the irs -- >> yes. elizabeth: -- say hundreds of
