for generations, this ally to the north has been here. and for generations more, we'll still be here. right by your side. [title: ontario, canada] [title: ontario.ca/partner] [title: paid for by the government of ontario] >> trace: good evening, it's 11:00 p.m. on the east coast, 8:00 here in los angeles and this is fox news at night.

working tonight were on women's sports appears to be over, president from signing a no man and women sports executive order today. checking off yet another major campaign promise. as the war on women sports ends, the war on a doj, begins. elon musk continuing to expose the jaw-dropping waste inside our government and lifelong bureaucrats, in washington, getting a bit jumpy. fox news at night hit the streets asking hard questions with mixed reviews. >> what about for example the $75,000 going towards a gei musical in ireland?

-- a dei musical in ireland? >> a lot of 75k add up to billions. >> trace: more from jillian at the doj police and moments but first the senior national correspondent kevin live in d.c. with more. on the cuts infuriating democrats good evening. >> i am not just going to let that go! [laughter] come on, good evening, i'm throwing that out there but clearly with all of the punches coming from different directions you know what a certain point you have to cover up, hang on and wait for the referee to call for a break up the qualified altogether, that is what some are suggesting democrats in washington are doing tonight. protesting with a barrage of executive actions and proposals, all ruling out the president and his administration, they are

nonplussed and while they have not been able to lend many punches, increasingly democrats are shifting their focus towards the head of doj. elon musk, in part of some output because he turned a large stone in the back yard revealing the spending over at usaid, now the proverbial bugs are on the run. still the outrage is palpable, democrats from coast-to-coast, including here in washington are out for revenge. >> getting rid of a i.d. makes us all less safe, it is also downright illegal. elon musk, he make it to be a dictator of tesla, and he is trying to play dictator here in our nations, capital. >> elon musk should not have access to our personal financial records.

they have not gone through security clearance. >> democrats have fairly you actual letters of power because as you know, the g.o.p. already holds control over both houses of congress and the white house with president trump back in the oval office leaving the doj, the task of them can the federal government right on track one mission, one agency and as they would tell you tonight, one line item at a time. >> trace: live in d.c., thank you. will the fox news at night common sense department thinks the left has given itself the past when it comes to violent rhetoric, turns out elected democrats and legacy media believe they have perpetual immunity when it comes to making inflammatory statements. in other words they think they can lose their minds and say whatever they please about elon musk and doj, without

consequences. so when a democrat member of congress like monica says quote, we are at war, are one elon musk -- you and omar says we might actually see somebody get killed. or senator chris says we have to fight this in the streets, they believe it is and just drifting. when congresswoman fills the daily hitler comment quote, i call in elon musk a that will baby, it's just a saying . but when republicans call up the rhetoric, the far left media side jezebel says the liberals are making quotes standard, concerned comments. the g.o.p. by the way, a bunch of snowflakes. of common sense has this right when trump says bloodbath about the auto industry, it's a threat. when the left threatens street violence, it's a comments. kind of like the george floyd riots were mostly peaceful, common sense thinks left is blind.

which is why the richest man in the world is eliminating their perks, paybacks and boondoggles, right before their eyes. let's bring in a strategy partner kristin and former l.a. g.o.p. vice chair, thank you both for coming on. i mean elon musk, how did this thing nailed a few months ago, he knew this was coming and he was right about the opposition, i want to play the sound bite from then and now and get your thoughts. >> opposition obviously to make government more efficient. >> trace: is seems to me like they got caught, and they see their slush fund drying up and there is panic built in. >> exactly, my advice to democrats is take a breath, this hyperbolic writing in the

streets, it's a little much and to be honest, this is really about elon musk being a shining target for them to complain about and catching slogan but it's about the fact that they got caught, they got caught with their slush fund that goes towards a de odd musicals in ireland and transgender operas in colombia, -- gei musicals in ireland and transgender operas in columbia. right now they are lost, they don't know what to do and their bank account got shut off. >> trace: meantime we are learning the government agencies are paying for subscriptions media outlets like "politico" and the new white house press secretary had this to say about that. >> coming out here to the briefing room i was made aware of the funding to media outlets including "politico" you weigh now has a seat in this room, and

i can confirm that the more than 8 million taxpayer dollars that have gone to essentially subsidize subscriptions to "politico", the american taxpayers will no longer be happening. >> trace: isn't it interesting how the money from these types of organizations are always going, to the left? >> it seems like it happens all the time. i think what we have to understand here with what we are seeing in all of those people who are protesting is that those are the ones that up benefiting from stealing our tax dollars. they have been doing this and creating terrorism across the world but more importantly, leaving infrastructure projects sitting here like what happened in springfield, ohio,, all the money that is been wasted has cost lives, we found out, we know different charities that have been helping illegals come over the border which is helping trafficking, women being sexually assaulted, there is blood and there is trauma on the democrats hands who have been

involved in this for far too long, imagine where our country would be today with all of that money, imagine what our country would look like with all of that money and imagine those inner cities that they always cry about and what exactly would look like with all of that money returned back to the people. >> trace: meantime kristin "wall street journal"'s of the following coating here, hurricane mosque in the usaid panicked, these grants are dumb and wasteful but some usaid spending may undermine u.s. interest, analysis by the middle east forms is 160 million of the usaid money has supported radical organization around the world, 122 million of that aid going towards the group aligned with foreign terrorist organizations. why is government, the left calling elon musk hitler and you see this and think, really come on? >> exactly and strategically doesn't make any sense. we just had an election were 80 million americans voted for this. this has been the most transparent process, we have seen ever.

was the first president to ever take this data crisis on and it will do exactly that, it's going to cuss the waist down and actually send american tax dollars where they can be most beneficial in our country and help americans. aside from that the democratic party is bleeding support, they are at an all-time low over their favourite -- their favourite ability, i think if i were a democrat i would spend more time trying to figure out why a loss to the american people and less time fighting sending food to organizations linked to terrorism. >> trace: i want to get your thoughts on the trump executive order protecting women's sports from biological males, if you give me 15 seconds of that. >> this is a long time coming once again we see the radical left, has gone into our society and our culture and it's dangerous for the young women who have worked their butts off for years, what was title ix about? it was not about helping women, of these hypocrites are showing themselves and thank god for president trump.

>> trace: thank you both. the outrage over elon musk being a special government employee has the left kind of melting down but we want to know how residents of the nation's capital or feeling about the world richest man, and the job he is doing. here's another fox news at night exclusive as gilli talks doj and d.c. >> president trump paused a lot of aspects of our foreign aid, would he think about this? it's a good idea? >> it's a terrible idea. >> it's pretty awful. >> he selfish. >> i think it's reckless. >> it's important that we spend money on some of the things we are like, for example,, $20 million going towards a pakistani version of "sesame street"? do you think that it's a good use of our foreign aid in taxpayer dollars?

>> i think they need to reevaluate. >> is that not what trump is doing? >> it's basically it. >> probably not, no. >> do you think it's good? >> trump is the one putting an end to that. >> i am aware that. maybe that's good. >> it's making us less safe. >> it's not that outrageous. >> we may have to start a draft. >> what about for example the $75,000 going towards dei musical in ireland? >> i have $75,000 in my checking account is not... >> it's kind of cool honestly. >> a lot of 75k add up to billions. >> okay? >> what about $20 million going towards a pakistani version of "sesame street"? >> pakistan is bad now?

>> does that help our national security? >> second of all it does help our national security. >> what about doj? >> elon musk needs to be impeached. >> everybody knew elon musk and trump are partners in the american people still voted for trump. >> the country is been acquired by x corps, i hope you are happy. >> trace: the mainstream media is also expressing outrage over doj let's bring in just to listen to yourself podcast host. thank you for coming on, political cofounder jim said this to media coding here, the left right now, the liberal media has probably never been weaker in my lifetime and right now, there is a lot to work with, you just have to change and the question is asking, will the liberal media change? >> what i have been observing over the past few days of any

indication, absolutely not . they have learned nothing, we have just watched all of these protest outside of the treasury, all of these complaints, they are still using the old playbook , not seeing racism, they are back on their heels. these are people who are not used to not being in charge. it's mass chaos in every day is going be more chaos because these are people who are unprepared, everything has been handed to them so they don't know how to navigate hard time. >> trace: meantime emily here is some media reaction to trump's proposal on gaza. >> it's the wackiest idea, he's ever come up with. >> he thinks the coastline of gaza is going to be great for hotels.

>> trace: it's kind of a pattern, it's deportation meltdown, elon musk, meltdown, what he then? >> i sought aoc and i sell everything i needed to see, the truth is the best part of all of it is that trump proved nobody can outdo him his creativity is so unpredictable and in the middle lisa gives him the upper hand. the truth be told i believe trump is putting out a bold statement, to the entire world he is showing the other arab countries look, if you are not going to do something about gaza, i am going to do it nt is actually taking it upon himself to put his money where his mouth is. there has been two years of this war, for any country to come and intervene with help of a palestinian state and everybody is taking the back seat like we do thomas, now i think -- like we do with hamas. now, i think but who knows. >> trace: cbs was swearing its kamala harris interview back in the fall, it was not doctored,

it was not deceitful, we are going to play you both because that is the way it is and we will let you decide, watch. >> but it seems that prime minister benjamin is not listening. >> well, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by israel that were very much prompted by or a result of many things including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region. >> but it seems like the prime minister is not listening. >> we are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the united states to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end. >> trace: they say not dr., not deceitful they took the nonsense and they made a coherent. >> did they? even what they come up with was still nonsense.

she is an idiot, that is the technical term for it. she did not make it to iowa the first time and there is a reason for that, there is a reason why she did not go to joe rogan the most popular podcast in the world, she is nothing to give, this is the problem with california politicians everybody. this is the problem in america . they never have any pushback so they are not sharpened, they are not sharp, they don't have thoughts of their own so they don't know how to navigate the troubled waters. >> trace: the media -- they lose trust. >> the media has lost his trust a long time ago the problem was calling out and never had a consequence because we were under the administration we have the false narrative for their agenda, it was okay with them, and now we see $8 million subsidized to political -- to "politico".

trump is coming in and he is saying this is enough, let's let free media be free media. now we are seeing more of the truth come out, maybe that is what's causing a lot of outrage that people are seeing in other side that have not seen before. >> trace: both of you, think you . meantime u.s. army recruiters under new trump administration are listing soldiers at numbers we've not seen 15 years, christina's live with that. >> good evening, u.s. army shattered previous recruiting records in december by enlisting nearly 350 soldiers each day, that month. >> president donald trump: after years of shrinking, at levels nobody's ever seen before, four years of this we went through and mystery recruiting targets -- missing recruitment targets every month, in december it was announced the u.s. army had a single best recruitment in more than 15 years.

>> army combat veteran and defence secretary pete also noted this excess in recruitment routing on a x, -- writing on x, the president affect they want to serve under commander in chief, they know will have their backs, that is number 1, number 2, they are defending our homeland. we spent two decades guarding other people's borders. when you meet these men and women at our border, in a realtime it will defend their communities, their families, their churches, they love that. they are motivated by that and they know we will have their back. >> talk about a very quick turnaround in recruitment fee to fast, thank you let's bring in former physician lieutenant colonel danielle smith, great to have you on the show, in december the u.s. had its best recruitment in 15 years. why? >> well, thank you for having

me, it's really a testament to the excitement can feel in the air in this country, with president trump and secretary, there administration is an inspiration for patriots and for americans. they show that they care about is, they are listening to us, and their patriotism is making young people want to fight for america again . we watch president trump take a bullet, jump back up on stage and say fight, fight, that does not make you want to do in the military, i don't know what does. that is really what it commander in chief needs to embody, that is who you want to follow, that is who you want to take orders for. and defend our country's borders. defend all enemies, domestic and abroad as our oath says. >> trace: but i mean the whole thing colonel smith, it's one of those things were you said it yourself, you have trump coming in but a lot of these leaders, these toxic leaders as you phrased it are still there, when do they phase out?

>> well, that's something the president trump and the secretary are really going to have to do some work on because these leaders unfortunately have the character where they may morph into what this administration wants and lay low. and kind of get past these four years and still get their career and the retirement. i think starting with the inspiration of having people join and recruit is what builds up that morale in the military and it will build up our military strength. patriotism is what drives recruitment, that is why i joined how many years ago so that is really the stepping-stone and the foundation of the military, the service members. the american people who want to defend our country and fight for president trump and the secretary. >> trace: i've only got a few seconds left but i want to clarify, you left the military after 13 years because you refused to take the covid vaccine, do you think that we will see in the military this

kind of scene play out again sometime in the future? >> i certainly hope not, i really hope they learned their lesson. the leaders blatantly ignored their own dod regulations and branch specific policy to protect religious freedom. to give service members and avenue and our leadership, ever military commanders really turning they're back on their service members. it was a really difficult situation for those who were declining but even those who complies, it was coercion, defamation, fearmongering and all service members really took a hit which again is what broke that morale and lead to the situation we were in the two thank you, best -- the situation we were in. >> trace: thank you, best to you.

later in the nightcap,. >> president donald trump: the only reason palestinians want to go back to gaza's because they have no alternative, they can occupy the beautiful area with homes in safety and they can live out their lives in peace and harmony instead of having to go back and do it again. >> trace: president trump sending diplomatic shock waves across the world revealing his proposal to redevelop gaza into a river year of the middle east owned by the united states. what you think about trump's plans to rebuild the enclave, is this why americans elected them? for his outside the box ideas? let us know x and instagram, we will read your responses in the nightcap.

>> president donald trump: we are putting every school receiving taxpayer dollars, if you let men take over women sports teams, you will be investigated a violation of title ix and risk federal funding there will be no federal funding. >> trace: it's official president trump has now banned by logical men from playing women sports that decision expected to have far-reaching consequences in schools, colleges, maybe even the olympics. a speck in the university of nevada reno women's volleyball team captain and professional golfer lauren miller, thank you both for coming on, would you think of the president's order, it's been a long time coming are you happy? >> i am a static. -- i am a static static... ecstatic.

>> trace: i think former athlete, said this on fox tonight and i thought it was well thought out. watch. 2021. >> it is so crazy to me we have to have a sitting president say, hey,, let me sign an executive order that says men do not belong in women sports, we lost our mind that we have to do summing like this? >> trace: people have been asking the question for a while, is one of those things where you think, how we lost our minds by allowing the biological mills do this. >> thankfully today we are starting to see common sense return, our administration, our president we are standing together again united, we are saying that women and girls sports matter and they are worth it and we will no longer continue to put up with men coming in and invading our

spaces. men and women are different, that it's, okay,, that's wonderful. we need these separate categories, common sense coming back and we are definitely moving back in the right direction. >> trace: meanwhile j.k. rowling retreated this, is that the following quoting here, this is the first and likely the last time that i will retweet an advertisement but i love it and i know you are in this advertisement along with riley gains, i want to play a part of this because it's worth it and i think our audience would enjoy it and we will get your opinion on the other side, watch. >> she's a bigot. >> she is not inclusive.

>> trace: you know, that's the whole thing this has gone crazy online, a lot of people are retreating this and reviewing this and watching it, you first saw it what did you think? is that the kind of advertisement you think is necessary at a time like now? >> it's very necessary, the advertisement depicts what people don't see in women sports. the process, the grind, what athletes don't want to do but have to do in order to go out there and get wins. waking up every day at the crack of dawn, getting into training, getting better every day. when everybody is still sleeping. when males invade women sports, they start with a disadvantage from the start, we go on to the competition floor, where males

are faster, stronger, bigger and it's not fair. >> trace: it's not and that's the whole thing, as you look at an advertisement like this, jennifer who is a friend of the show who is of course one of the owners of xxxy, said no, we are not going to put this out in the super bowl because you can it's a big thing. but it's getting a lot of play. >> absolutely, why wouldn't it? what incredible message. real girls rock. real girls rock. it's whatever country needs to hear it's so true, standing today in that room and looking around at all of the young women , the women my age, the women older than me we have all been fighting so hard for this. i could see the smiles on their face, young girls are excited to play sports again. they feel protected, they feel seen and they cannot wait to continue to compete, knowing that it is going to be only against their peers, it's not going to be against other boys,

they are now seeing that they have a voice and there is strength in numbers and we have a lot of influence in their careers and dreams matter. >> trace: i'm a girl dad, it's a big day for them as well. both athletes. thank you to both of you. meantime he may be the president for all americans but trump hinted at hugh he might be cheering for when he attends the super bowl in new orleans this weekend saying quote, is a certain quarterback that seems to be a pretty good winter . which many took to me, kansas city chiefs will be going for their third straight super bowl victory. trump will be the first sitting president to attend, the big game. coming up, an update on the investigation into the d.c. plane crash, and the airport workers arrested for allegedly leaking video to the media. you video coming into fox news tonight of a delta airline plane and a japan airlines plane, colliding on the ground. in seattle.

both of those stories, next. 20212021

>> trace: we are learning more about that fatal midair collision in d.c. one week ago, ashley's live with the latest on the recovery effort and a new collision in the pacific northwest. that evening. >> good evening, it exactly one week since the deadly collision between a blackhawk helicopter and a passenger plane near washington, d.c., and other collision to tell you about watch this. so a japan airline plane, seeing on the of seattle's airport, apparently struck the tail of a parked delta aircraft, there was 142 passengers already on board delta flight 1921 towards mexico, but no injuries were reported, officials say airport operations were minimally impacted.

>> it appears there was some kind of altitude issue, we are doing both in ffa investigation in our internal investigation. >> that was defence secretary pete confirming that altitude was a factor in the fatal d.c. collision, investigators have revealed that the black hawk helicopter was flying at elevation of 300 feet, 100 feet above the maximum altitude for helicopters in the area. officials say all 67 victims in the collision of now been recovered, and nine government leaders and first responders gathered to hold a candle a visual in their -- candlelight vigil in their honour. according to our affiliate, the pair apparently leaked the footage to cnn and the network has not commented on the incident, those two employees are facing misdemeanour computer trespass charges and officials have not specified how the

footage was obtained or distributed. >> trace: live for us in new york, thank you. >> the bonds of friendship and affection between the americans and israeli people have endured for generations, and are absolutely unbreakable. the historic proposal for the united states to take over gaza, announced by president trump last night, underscores this commitment. >> speaker-03: the trump administration giving an optimistic view of what the future could look like in the gaza strip but others not so sure about temporarily u.s. ownership, let's bring in it really special veteran and former she department deputy special her convoy. thank you both for coming on, benjamin sat next to the president yesterday, and he likes this plan, what does aaron think about the u.s. taking over gaza? >> it's a brilliant strategic move, completely outside of the box like you said when you set this up i will tell you why, won

the palestinians are no longer human shields that's the most important piece . it's been an absolute murder festival, watching what this terror group has been doing to their own people, two, israel now has more establish security because hamas can be eradicated, three, the americans now have the ability to gain a strong foothold in the middle east, not having to rely on qatar and iraq where they have been getting hit because they can put a base right in gaza. that gives them a ton of leverage for operations, for iran which i'm sure we will get into in the coming days. that's a big piece right there and for decades, the arabs said they'd use the palestinians as a political pawn and now their hypocrisies being called out by trump, so i think the brilliant and i think it's a reset we need to see. >> trace: do you think the plan, do you think the plan is

to actually go in and reinvent gaza or is this may be a negotiating tool to be able to get the world more involved in the resurgence of gaza? >> i think president trump means what he says, i would tell you i think president trump is both humanitarian and visionary and what he is describing. it humanitarian because his first talking about helping 1.7 million gaza people get out of a war zone. any other population where they are in a war zone everybody except the fact that they should be treated as refugees and we should find a new home for them. palestinians are the only ones that as aaron said are treated like pawns, so they are expected to stay in this war zone for the next 15 years some help . the second part that is so visionary is that president trump looks at gaza and he sees not only what exists now he sees a future for gaza, is a beautiful piece of

land, that is on the ocean and he sees all the possibilities that exist, riviera truly in the middle east. >> trace: it's amazing she makes a great point where refugees are constantly in war zones move to different areas that is just the way life is, nathan said this today about america reports. >> we don't have the best track record to the president and his advisors are aware of the limitations of american military power, and i think what we will see coming from them is, a few -- a little bit of humility about will begin doing what we can't do but i think the big picture here is that we cannot go back to businesses as usual in gaza. >> trace: be said you can't let gaza go back to hamas but at the same time you cannot put u.s. boots on the ground in gaza. >> i agree, i don't think that's what the president has in mind as far as his vision i think it once palestinians get moved out

it does signal. the president has an ability to put that negotiating out there send those messages and all of a sudden everybody is going woah so i think he does not see u.s. troops on the ground it's israel that will help to continue to do the heavy lifting. i think the u.s. presence they are after is going to maintain the security but it will be u.s. interest moving forward with iran and any other further problems in the region but i think israel will be able to handle it. >> trace: i want to ask you this because i know you are a student in iran, trump reinstates mexican pressure campaign against iran, president donald trump unveiled an executive order reinstating a maximum pressure campaign against iran on tuesday, coinciding with a visit from israeli prime minister benjamin, to the white house. how does this impact iran, is iran sitting back like, what is going on here and what we do? >> iran is definitely on their

heels right now, they experienced trump's administration, maximum pressure with left them at the end of president trump's term. broke and weak and cornered truly. the iranians know exactly that president trump means business. i expect that we would have the same outcome but there is not going to be any longer oil say -- sales from iran to china i think the iranians know that their economy which is already taken a big hit, is about to sink even further and i believe the iranians will know that it is in their best interest to come clean, and try to negotiate a deal that president trump might accept. >> trace: both of you, thank you. president trump revealing his proposal to redevelop gaza into a riviera of the middle east, what do you think of trump's plans to rebuild the enclave? is this why americans elected trump for his outside the box ideas? let us know x and instagram we

are back with the nightcap crew which includes you! next.

>> trace: back with the nightcap crew.

tonight's topic, outside the box. would he think about trump's plan to redevelop gaza, is this why americans elected trump for his unusual ideas? >> yes, i can sum it up better than what aaron it did in your previous segment but when at these pictures in gaza, the place in total ruins any obviously sees a need to clean that up and he will do what he says he wants to do but in november he was still be in a state of limbo we are seeing in gaza for over one year. >> trace: emily? >> on the contrary i really don't see trump developing gaza unless he wants morrow gaza, i think he is using it as a bargaining chip to show the middle east wake up, if i can do it too and it set up like a blueprint for them to follow. >> trace: christina? >> i appreciate them thing outside the box and gaza does need to be rebuilt so it interesting to see what he says and what happens. >> trace: cure? >> president trump told us that

in america we specialize in the impossible so if anybody can redevelop gaza it president trump. >> trace: kevin? >> i like what emily said but i would take it a different direction i think he is letting leaders in the middle east now, if i don't do it, you guys do it but if you don't, i will. and that might lead to change ultimately. >> trace: aaron? >> i agree with kevin i think he's right and signalling but i love the disruptive nature of how we put everything out there. it's amazing to watch, everybody freaked out because he just trump and i'm enjoying it. >> trace: is not bluffing that's the whole thing trump does not bluff which is why people are scared is going to go through with it. i don't think it will get that far because it's such a big negotiating tool for him. we asked what you think, it's the art of the deal at its best, it gets the dialogue started with world leaders . leo said

and told the mid-70s beirut capital lebanon was known as the terrorist -- the pairs of the middle east. 100% trust trump, love it, it's a real estate development, redevelopment matter not military one james said interesting idea, but it will never happen . not a fan, i think it's about idea, i love it, it's about time somebody gave this problem in original thought and michael said, i like his out-of-the-box idea but not this one. america first place, a lot of people had said that online today. what happened to america first? thank you all for watching america's late news fox news at night, i am in los angeles and i will see you back here again tomorrow work -- tomorrow.
