that receive money from the federal government may no longer be eligible for that. in an interview with hannity last night ramaswamy proposed another easy way to cut excess spending saying forcing government employees, many of whom are still working remotely, back into the office would save taxpayers. >> if you tell people you have to affirm you want a job, that you have to show up to work five days a week, how many of those employees will quit out the gate? that's a question we should ask. low hanging fruit that democrats and republicans, black or white americans alike can agree on. >> doge has its own x account if you want to follow it there. musk says all of the actions this new department takes will be posted online for full transparency and public can weigh in if they think something useful is being cut or vice versa. >> bill: we'll watch it. grady trimble on the hill. nice to see you. >> dana: this is for your news

watching pleasure. republicans will keep their majority in the house handing president-elect trump control of the white house and both chambers of congress. an election trifecta that waves the way for the administration to go after its america first priorities. welcome to "america's newsroom," it is bill hemmer's birthday. >> bill: all aboard for hawaii. i'm bill hemmer. good morning at home. republicans winning control of the house. the number of seats the party will hold depends on the outcome in several races yet to be called. we'll stand by and wait for the margins in the end. republicans at both ends of the hill saying they look forward to having a hands-on president who works with congress and they will be ready to move come day one. >> president trump was always engaged with members of congress on the phone, calling, coming over. we went to the white house. a lot of interaction to move legislation. joe biden has not left the building, has never called most members of congress and not

engaged. legislative team doesn't engage. >> dana: democrats want president biden to issue some executive orders before he leaves office ignoring the will of the american voters who made it very clear they want a new direction. >> bill: from fox business hillary vaughn is on the hill. what do you have? good morning as we begin a new hour. hello. >> good morning, bill. house democrats are well aware that time is running out. they don't want to be sitting ducks during this lame duck session so they want president biden to use his executive authority and get to work doing everything from sparing as many illegal immigrants from mass deportation as possible, to preventing entire agencies from being shut down. >> i think there is a lot we can do around folks who have been here in our country and need pathway to citizenship. >> we're still figuring out what agenda we want to pursue and ask the president for. some things need to happen on immigration. >> one of the things i'm most worried about is some of the promises to decimate the

department of education. anything the president can do to shore up the civil service that make up the federal government is really important. >> democrats chimed in on how some of their sporters have been reacting to this devastating election loss. >> some democrats are having a hard time coping with election loss. some are divorcing their husbands and shaving their heads. is this rational behavior? >> i would have nowhere to eat if i uninvited republicans for thanksgiving. it is tough to lose an election but the country goes on. >> as human beings we all have reactions to certain things when things are unfortunate, we all overreact. >> so some democrats in congress seem to be brushing off this election loss a little bit better than some of their supporters and at least they don't have any plans to change their thanksgiving plans, bill. >> bill: thanks. is there a party going on, by the way? >> there is. you heard the marine band playing below. there is an event.

>> bill: give them a salute for us. >> dana: president-elect trump has a better chance of enacting policy goals now that republicans stère a majority in the house but with a very slim margin. trump is urging them to stay focused and united. just want to play this. you saw it because you were there. anyone who missed it trey gowdy had a take this morning. >> i think he has learned a lot of lessons and knows he has to hit the ground running. history says you have two years. he has defied it before and may defy it again. at most he has four years. they've been given a gift. a gift to have algiers of government but you have to use it appropriately. >> dana: with great responsibility comes from the great expectations of the voters who said we need change. how fast can you do it? >> there is benefit of the president-elect knowing washington now and understanding the power players as well. you will see a couple of things immediately. i would anticipate the first

bill that congress introduces is a border security package. i think it will be much different than the alleged bipartisan package because the president has a mandate. you have 60% of americans that favor mass deportations. you will see that. also on the executive front a lot of deregulation of agencies. get the economy booming as well. there is some growth to be made. there are some divides as well. you have different factions when it comes to the republican party in the house but i do think that donald trump is in the driver's seat right now. >> bill: we saw you in the barber shop many times and you were at the bronx rally, too. trump's win leaves democrats asking where are our bro whisperers. you saw at the texas border. that's an historic shift from one party to the other and the question about the urban vote.

how it shifted. or either stayed home in philly and milwaukee and detroit and wayne county. you have carville summarizing it this way about democrats and the male vote. >> would you look at our male vote? would somebody take a look how we did with males and with non-white males and tell me that the democrats don't have a messaging problem and their message comes across as too feminine? >> bill: give it a shot to thread that needle. >> in some ways i'm frustrated with the question. we make it seem like we need some big academic paper of how to reach voters where they are. it's simple. go speak to people. 60 minutes just now started going to diners and barber shops to listen to voters. this is idiotic political analysis. if more people in the newsroom would talk with people they would understand where they are.

i thought it was so just gas lighting when the exit polling came out and said that 70% of the people in the country don't like the direction of the country. this poll has been coming out for months now. you guys weren't listening. then you had a terrible candidate. just say it. just say it. you had sunny hostin on "the view" well, it wasn't supposed to be a gotcha question. there is the pre-school question. would you do anything differently? >> bill: when you look at the polling six months out pollsters said eventually they come home. this time they didn't. >> here is the deal, bill. the pollsters were lying. we are getting internal documents that while they were going on the airwaves saying everything is okay, behind the scenes they were panicking, panicking behind the scenes. it was mal practice. >> dana: who was panicking. >> democrats were behind closed doors. conversation our spending is in the wrong direction.

we're upset. minority vote, we're in trouble. young voters, not enough right now. they knew this behind the scenes when it comes to the pollsters and the strategists but they had to keep this facade up for the american public of joy. when none of us saw the joy. >> dana: always great to have you and i think you put your finger of the pulse of something important and beat scott pelly to the barber shop. that's something right there. >> maybe they can give him a nice shave, though. >> bill: one on the side, three on the top? >> it's your preference. >> dana: we want you here all the time. thank you. >> bill: here is an intriguing move. f.b.i. agents said to be raiding the new york city home of shayne coplan. if you haven't heard of him, he runs a company called polymarket, the ceo. the raid comes a week after the betting platform correctly called the election for trump. lydia hu is on the story.

intriguing. more now with fox business. good morning. >> that's right. we're learning that the f.b.i. took a cell phone and electronic devices from the 26-year-old ceo's manhattan home yesterday. that raid comes after the platform correctly predicted donald trump's victory just last week contrary to all the opinion polling we saw. now a spokesperson for polymarket called the raid, quote, obvious political retribution by the outgoing administration and coplan added this. it is discouraging that the current administration would seek a last-ditch effort to go after companies they deem to be associated with political opponents. incumbents should do some self-reflecting and taking a more pro business approach would have changed their fate in this election. d.o.j. declined to comment and f.b.i. did not immediately get back to us. the agencies are reportedly

investigating polymarket for allegedly accepting trades from users that are in the united states. election betting was legalized in the u.s. the year but polymarket not yet approved by the trading commission. the platform is not supposed to be available in the u.s. after it reached a settlement with the government two years ago. still, bill, polymarket gained a lot of attention this election cycle. allows users to place bets with crypto currency on a lot of different events sports, pop culture, election. 3 1/2 billion were wagered on this presidential election. >> bill: how much money would he have made on that? does he get a cut? >> there is one anonymous users that is a french national. he won $80 million. the money won, quite a bit. >> bill: we'll see where it goes.

didn't see that development. thanks, lydia hu from fox business. thank you. >> everyone who served with him will tell you he is one of the most intelligent members of congress. he is an accomplished attorney and very concerned about the lawfare that has been occurring in the department of justice under the biden administration. >> dana: speaker mike johnson backing matt gaetz for attorney general. why some republicans are less enthusiastic. >> bill: the newly department of government efficiency looking to slash spending. will the senate go along with it? we'll talk to a republican about that. >> dana: gearing up for mass deportations. will blue city mayors cooperate? >> i'm willing to sit down with this administration like i tried to sit down with the previous administration and say we have a problem that's overrunning cities.

>> bill: back on the trump transition right now. 16 past the hour. president-elect trump nominating former -- now former florida congressman for matt gaetz. there is a ton of reaction on this one. good morning from the justice department. >> good morning. also shock waves at the department of justice. i was in the building yesterday where i am now when the announcement came down from president-elect trump he would nominate then congressman matt gaetz. we know he resigned as of yesterday. there were a lot of career people here at the department of justice that have worked in republican and democratic administrations and they seemed incredibly surprised by this. trump said in a social media post in his official statement that matt will end weaponized government. protect borders, dismantle

criminal organizations and restore americans' badly shattered faith and confidence in the justice department. >> i've known matt for ten years. matt is very good at what matt does in congress and now he will bring that to the attorney general's office. >> from a democrat from florida. he is getting bipartisan support and bipartisan problems if you would say. here are other reactions from both sides of the aisle. watch this. >> the president is smart enough and team is smart enough to know that mr. gaetz will never get confirmed by the senate whatsoever. he has never been a team player and never helped out this conference. >> wow, i wonder -- i don't know mr. gaetz. he will go through the process. i wonder whether he could get confirmed even by the house republican conference based upon the stories from the last couple of years. >> senator warner is referring to a d.o.j. criminal investigation into gaetz

involving sex trafficking allegations. ultimately d.o.j. dropped the cast last year and gaetz was not prosecuted and denied any wrongdoing. expect this to come up that he may lead a department that was once investigating him for these alleged sex trafficking allegations. he has maintained his innocence. he is the subject -- was the subject of this house ethics probe but since he resigned from congress yesterday, it appears that will not be released. however, senators from both sides of the aisle say they want to see the contents of that report to make sure he is vetted properly before they actually vote on him to potentially be the next attorney general. >> bill: interesting one to follow. nice to see you at d.o.j., david spunt. >> dana: president-elect trump trying to by pass senate confirmations with recess a.ments for cabinet picks. the senate would forfeat their role and allow trump to get his

picks. is it necessary when you have 53 votes in the senate? >> depends on what chuck schumer does. he can easily try to hold the process up and it is a last resort option but we will go to that if we have to. what we need to do is get president trump's cabinet and these appointed positions in place as soon as possible so we can deliver the agenda the american people voted for november 5th. >> dana: we have the u.s. marine band accompanying our segment today and grateful for that and they sound fantastic. listen to this. it is incoming republican senate leader john thune who you supported yesterday. watch. >> as you know, the senate has an advise and consent rule in the constitution. we'll do everything we can to process his nominations quickly. get them installed in their positions so they can begin to implement his agenda. what we'll do is make sure we're processing his nominees in a way that gets them into those positions so they can implement

his agenda. how that happens remains to be seen. >> dana: what do you think would be a major difference between how mitch mcconnell has run the senate to john thune? >> there are a lot of options we have. we can do them on block. we don't have to do one at a time. that's on the table. i know leader thune and president trump have had multiple conversations about this. when he says all things are on the table, we mean all things are on the table. we're willing to do what needs to be done. i have to pause for what they are playing now. so sorry. >> dana: we did not anticipate that and thank the u.s. marine band and the senator and controller let me know if you want to stick around. >> bill: i would like to watch it. >> dana: if we had a camera shot on the band. we appreciate his patriotism and his recognition of what he needed to do that. thank you, senator, have you back. >> bill: electoral map was a sea of red. some blue cities are having none

>> dana: welcome back. scott -- the wall street investor previously called trump very sophisticated on economic policy. the capital management ceo joined "fox & friends" this morning and touted a potential golden age with trump's economic vision in place. listen here. >> i think under donald trump, we could have a golden age for the next four years. we can bring back the manufacturing, we have energy dominance. people are with donald trump. the opportunity to be able to give back to the country would

be incredible. >> dana: i want to hear more. >> bill: he is an interesting guy. very interesting guy. he has been by trump's side for six months. he has been in the orbit for about a year. i think he would do a great job. his background is fascinating. he has been a professor at yale. a contrarian thinker in many ways. his big move in the early 1990s working for george soros was to shore up the british pound and it made soros a ton of money. that's one of the main positions, press secretary also is out there yet to be announced. >> dana: you know what? i want to know who is the u.s. department of agriculture. i think -- maybe you think i'm crazy. i want to know for the farmers and ranchers of this country covering so many different things, department of interior, education, transportation. who will take over for mayor pete? we'll find out. the voters were clear in

choosing president-elect trump by a decisive margin. blue state governors are teaming up to oppose his agenda as several democrats say this effort will only put the party into a deeper hole. garrett tenney live in chicago with more. i think the governor of illinois is one of them. >> it's notable that both of the governors behind this effort to push back against the trump administration agenda, illinois and colorado represent sanctuary states. a lot of democratic voters went for trump over the issue of immigration. the goal of this new organization called governors safeguarding democracy is essentially to create playbooks for how governors across the country can fight against the trump administration's agenda on everything from immigration and his plans for mass deportations to education and healthcare. by using the combined legislative, budgetary and administrative powers of state leaders. >> we are loyal to the

constitution and are loyal to the people of our states. this isn't about creating some massive divide. indeed it is about responding to concerns that governors will have about dealing with what seems to be an onslaught from the new administration. >> the timing of this announcement right after the election is notable given it's the latest nationwide initiative from pritzker to support democratic party policies as a potential presidential candidate for 2028. local democrats in his own state argue that pritzker and governor polis are ignoring the strong message voters sent last week about the priorities and direction of the democratic party. >> clearly there is a disconnect with the party elite versus the everyday democrats. we know that that messaging from the democratic party's elite failed miserably in 2024. to think that you can think

replicating that same message and get a better result is the definition of insanity. >> looking at deep blue illinois this election was the worst performance by a democratic candidate since bill clinton in 1992. for donald trump the best performance for a republican since 1988. >> dana: thank you, garrett tenney. >> we will stand with the immigrant community and whatever policy they put forward, we will make sure that people in los angeles are not hurt. >> this is a city that will remain a welcoming city. we will protect undocumented individuals. >> bill: this is the deep blue backlash. watch the story when the rubber meets the road. some blue cities holding ground on the border crisis saying president-elect trump's immigration agenda is a non-starter. gianno caldwell is here. the mayor of l.a. and chicago. they will hold their ground. i don't know what comes of this.

if you are talking about icinging into communities and removing criminals, immigrants here illegally with a criminal record, a criminal background you are probably going to get support by most of the american people. how will these mayors handle it? >> we know that these statements that have been made are misguided optionly with somebody like brandon johnson when you look at the numbers. when these migrants begin to settle in the city of chicago we saw migrant crime, new category, become 11,000% issue for the residents. he talks about we want to protect black and brown people and all of this. who do you think some of these crimes are being committed against? there is a mandate in the city of chicago. trump in 2016 won 12%, 2024 he won 22% of the vote. he even won, get this, bill, precincts pre-detained inmates

can vote. in jail can vote before being convicted. there is a total mandate in the city of chicago and it is around migrants. this is why i believe that donald trump's choice for matt gaetz was a brilliant one. this is an individual who can withhold funding from sanctuary cities who allow this kind of mess to go on that is impacting citizens from across the country and for those who have been saying matt gaetz isn't the right choice, a mean guy and this and that. would wouldn't hire matt to be my therapist but as my top cop i would put him in that position. >> mayor johnson, here is what he said. >> former president trump, his threat is not just towards new arrivals and undocumented families. his threats are also against black families. >> bill: i don't know how you or

they feel about that but going after suspected terrorists. you mentioned in 2020 biden won 6% of the black vote in illinois. in 2024 he doubled it at 12%. move from chicago and talk about new york. mayor eric adams, he has had enough and he knows the migrant situation here is out of hand and wants to do something about it. roll this eric adams in manhattan. >> the city rules are clear. no city resources can be used to collaborate with ice. that's against -- it was changed under the previous administration. we have to abide by those rules. i think that should be modified. i think it should be changed. but currently that's the law of the land in new york city. >> bill: so i know he has been critical in recent months but the line i think that should be modified, i think it should be

changed i think is a new phase for him in this story. is that how you hear it? >> yes, absolutely. this is exactly what his citizens and voters want. you keep in mind eric adams is the guy who began to talk about this issue in a way that mainstream media had to cover it. before that you can only hear about the dangers of the border on fox news channel. then abc and everybody else had to cover it and became a target for many folks on the left. i have to tell you, we have to have change. the american people have decided to give the republican party are the white house, senate and the house of representatives. they want drastic change when you consider 70% of americans believe the country has been on the wrong track. we want to go back to normalcy. we want to go back to a place where americans are taken care of first before anybody else, americans should be taken care of first. >> bill: thank you for coming on and we'll talk again soon. thanks for your time. >> dana: this just in.

florida attorney general moody says she is taking legal action against fema over reports that aid workers avoided homes with trump signs. she posted this in part i am taking swift legal action to find out how far fema's political discrimination reaches and make sure all americans who fall victims to storms are served regardless of political affiliation. a smart move and one it makes sure that the documents will be preserved on the fema side and that when you get into court and into discovery you can find out a lot more and under a court's order. >> bill: one query about all this is we've heard about some of these cases as a result of he helene. there might be other cases we're not aware of. this thing could get real ugly in the end. if it does and expands like this, then fema will have to take a hard look at what is hinge. >> dana: that case just in. we'll find out more as she puts it into court. let's say all the way up the chain they will be wore eft

about that. >> bill: marine band is still ringing in my ear. mike tyson and jake paul fighting in and out of the ring. hemmer celebrity news. dana reads sports in hemmer celebrity news. >> dana: this is a match-up. >> bill: former world heavy weight champs battling it out on the internet. match tomorrow. jabs are flying already. two engaged in what would be known as trash talk during the press conference. >> i feel no man so i want him to be the old savage mike. he says he will kill me. are you ready? i want the hardest match possible friday night and no excuses from everyone at home when i knock him out. >> i'm ready to fight. i said everything i have to say. nothing else to say. i'm looking forward to fighting. i'm not going to lose. >> bill: do you know how much money they will make off of this? mike tyson is 58 getting back in

the ring. when he was young he was the killer in the ring. jake paul is 27 years old. they will have very different styles and come from different backgrounds athletically and wow, there you go, okay. paul has had ten fights. he has had 58. >> dana: first of all, i am glad i don't have a job to display my height and weight. i am not for that but also i didn't know this fight was happening tomorrow night. i have been in election whirlwind. >> bill: one point it was delayed a bit. >> dana: it was. i will watch it. >> bill: make a ton of money. >> dana: monday dana reads sports will be epic. >> the backlash proves my point we can't have these discussions at a party but instead we have a wing of our party that shames us, tries to cancel people who even bring up these difficult topics and frankly shames voters. >> dana: cancel culture goes after a democrat targeting ties

>> dana: tufts university denying reports it is cutting ties with democratic congressman seth moulton for comments ants trans athletes to the "new york times." democrats try to not offend everyone rather than being brutally honest. i don't want -- as a democrat i'm supposed to be afraid to say that. and free press reporter. we have a panel here. you said an attempt to cancel

seth moulton boom ranges on tufts. tell us what happened. >> we originally reported on tuesday that a professor, the chair of the political science department reached out to him saying they're cutting off ties to internships because of his comments. 70% of americans agree with his comments. tufts apologized for the actions of our faculty member. and in the wake of that i took a closer look at their internship programs. a lot of them for the political science department look more like democratic jobs than a robust di verse programming. >> the thing about moulton he is not the backing down and saying we need competitive women's sports to put limits on those who are male. >> he is right. if the radical left wing continues to define the democratic party they'll continue to lose. reports are coming out that kamala harris didn't go on joe rogue an's podcast because she

was afraid of the backlash of progressive staffers and "l. a. times" didn't endorse her because she was too right wing on israel. 70% of americans agree with moulton on this. americans as they showed us last week don't want to live in a tuft gender seminar and told their eyes are deceiving them and they see it is not fair that a biological male competes in women's sports. >> dana: 69% as you said, 70% gallup poll. you are right. ask you about this. you are in the media and an on editorial board. the "los angeles times" declined to endorse kamala harris and caused an uproar. not as much as the "washington post." the owner is saying he wants to have a whole new editorial board. when the president has won the vote of the majority of americans, when all voices must be heard, opinions are just that. i will work towards making our paper and media fair and balanced to all voices are heard and we can exchange every american's view from left, right

and center. does he have a chance to turn things around there? >> i think we're seeing after this election a shake-up of the media was bound to happen. you had lower trust in the media than ever. more people consuming podcasts and streaming and youtube for news. shake-ups were bound to happen like this. you know, i wish everyone at the "l. a. times" the best. i have to say we're proud of our endorsements at the "boston globe" and proud as a conservative i feel supported and able to speak openly on our board and that's really important. >> i think it's like after a house burns down saying we have to clean up the kitchen. ist is -- for ten years they have been telling both their staffers and their readers this is an ideological warm bath and a safe space and ground 0 for the resistance. this is a huge shift to try to turn around ten years in. the free press decided to go at

it themselves. it is too far gone. we'll see when the rank and file of the "l. a. times" meets a conservative for the first time how it will go down. >> bill: you had a republican win a big race in los angeles. there is a vote out there and maybe he is paying attention to that. >> i completely agree. i just find it hard to imagine the people who are coming out of tufts who have god forbid see a gop internship opportunity and work at the "l. a. times" handling that shift. >> dana: i'm curious about your friend and peer group as you younger people as somebody is celebrating a birthday, i'm curious, are people in your friend group anxious about the election or letting it go? are they wanting to go into this new type of media as a job? >> i've seen a huge shift. people especially coming out of elite educational institutions a lot of my friends feel like they were fed a lie in a way and fed

up with being told what to do. >> bill: what was the lie? >> everything had to be in the progressive orthodoxy and if you didn't abide by it you are a bad person. people learn that in colleges. internship official. the righteous causes, raise money for democrats or you are not helping civic life in this country. >> i think a lot of people are realizing that college didn't prepare them for the world in the way they thought it did. as cran is saying they were sold a bill of goods as far as how normal people think and what they care about and it's not that transgender women get to compete in women's sports. it is their pocketbook. dinner table issues. >> dana: i love having you on the show. thank you so much for being here. >> this was so fun. thank you. >> county election officials will finish counting the votes like they do in every election. the american democratic process
