cheryl, these are effective moments and i think it shows that the president has an action oriented on a range of issues. >> this president is on fire. to talk about the blurry photo fast-paced this president has been moving and exciting. it will be interesting to see how rfk jr. moves with executive order, no doubt about it. >> i let that because he's doing it in front of the american people appear to it is a new era of transparency, this is what i will do and watch me do it and i will take questions. after four years of that not happening it is a shock to the system but a good shock. >> sandra: it is a big shock and relief to many parents who said we want the choice to vaccinate our kids with covid-19 vaccinations. now you have that choice and you will not be punished when you go to send your child to school. "america reports" reports now.

>> sandra: thank you, team we tap into our-looking live at the white house in a moment president trump will sign another round of executive orders. a flurry of news to come out of the signings as we have seen like yesterday. hello, welcome everyone, sandra smith in new york and john, happy valentine's day to you. just thank you very much. happy friday. when it comes to the oval office, i should today be any different than any other day? lots of news coming out of there. john roberts and happy valentine's day to everyone out there make. the democrats ramping up or on elon musk and doge. attorney general letitia james about to speak live to stop doge. the next hour the judge will hear arguments brought by 19 attorney general to block doge to get access to treasury department payment system. >> sandra: jonathan turley with the legal fight doge is up against.

>> john: by pursing her white house correspondent peter doocy live on the north lawn bracing with incoming flight of news, peter appeared. >> john, next our lawyers for the trump team expected to tell the judge that they think after winning the election, they should be allowed to make changes at the treasury department if those changes would make the treasury department more efficient. it is the name of the game, efficiency. that is why they want to look under the hood not only treasury but also the irs. >> with the irs, i have three goals. what is collections, privacy, and customer service. and i don't think there is anyone, anyone in the country who thinks that the irs has achieved its potential in either of those three. >> well, this is where it's going to take the investigations with new numbers from the government accountability office. 23% of treasury's whole budget may be waste, fraud, and abuse.

that is a quarter of all of the money they spend saying 12% at the labor department and 10% va and 9% hhs and the list is long and goes on and on through the federal agencies. the search to slash spending is not always smooth. today it was discovered the doge web page with the security plot to let anybody post anything they want to do on it but overall the president and vice president are pleased with the way things are coming and they want the whole world to know about it. >> i say that's with volume or, with american democracy can survive ten years have greta thunberg scolding, you guys can survive a few months of elon musk. >> and so how does the vice president vice president wants world leaders on the world stage to know that the new president prioritizes cutting spending over cutting emissions, john periods bill and also, prioritize to speech as well and peter doocy at the white house, thank you.

now this. ♪ ♪ >> the prices will go up? >> not necessarily, not necessarily but i will tell you what will go up as jobs. the jazz will go up tremendously. we will have great jobs, jobs for everybody. interest rates will ultimately be coming to him because of things that happen and they go hand-in-hand with the tariffs. we think that the prices for some things, many things and it could be all things will go down that ultimately will go down. >> sandra: in the meantime, president trump to reshape trade with reciprocal tariffs. it comes days after her harder than expected cpi report showing pressure is not letting off. from want this let's bring in the former congressional budget former congressional budget office director and former president and jared bernstein chair of economic advisors. think to both of you. generated is nice to have found the program. what do you think by the way so far that administration economic policies having worked in the

last administration? >> i'm worried about the extent to which the tariffs agenda would hurt american consumers. there was no question in my mind and economist bradley agree on this that tariffs works like a sales tax for the consumers of the pudding on the imports. to the extent we have already a problem getting inflation back down to where we wanted to be be an especially given the price level w what things actually cot and trust me, and the veteran and have been this bunch of yeas now. consumers really don't like that. trump will not be able to keep the promises you heard about getting prices down and tariffs the wrong way. >> sandra: with all withheld the respect, many safe inflation is the ultimate tax on the american consumer. most if that did happen under your watch during the administration. austan goolsbee i don't consider rightly economist by any stretch

former university of chicago and he was on this week and said this about inflation taking up in the latest number, watch. >> just want to make one month, they are concerned. they are not the result of any policy of the new administration. we have been dealing with inflation too high for some years. if the administration carries out higher growth, higher productivity, but in much of that makes the fed's job easier. >> sandra: osten, sounds like you are a fan of the policies from this administration economically. >> i am for growth and finding inflation and anything that does that, i am for it. >> sandra: i was interested in that moment, douglas. your thoughts. >> i think you have to agree with austin, you should be for growth and productivity and improvements that ease pressure on the price level. but i have to concur jared that tariffs is not the answer to the

challenges. there is nearly universal agreement that the tariffs will put pressure on upper class and the consumers will pay them. the president's tariffs agenda is very ambitious and not just modest. this is every country in a very complicated fashion heading tariffs appeared to be simply letting the other country dictate how high they go. if they raised taxes we raise tariffs. i don't like giving up control of the policy or this aspect of the administration's portfolio. >> sandra: interesting. the president isn't saying prices won't go up but perhaps only short term and that part of the bigger economic picture here, it will be overall a strong thing for the economy. so we will watch how that pans out as people who know they are playing sky-high prices and eggs, for example $4.95 as of january 2025 and only going p and basically doubled over just the past year. we know there is a huge problem

they are make. we have a farmer coming on next our who has a solution to the eggs crisis. but meanwhile jamie time and making a lot of news, guys. jared, i will ask you about this. credit to parents on this because jamie dimon scolding employees in a town hall and he wants to cancel some dei spending and wants people to get back to work. >> yeah, well, so look, on one level, this is pretty simple. if the employer says get back to work, you kind of have to get back to work and less, for example a union that has a contract that goes the other wa. i guarantee those workers not represented by a union. top level, he's got the right to do that. the next level down, the thing i don't quite understand is what looks like pretty significant disregard for employee morale. one of the things that he said was, i don't care about and i

won't say the word on a family show will go here darn petition the order signed against his proclamation. in it just seems like you see this and we see this from the musk actions as well. the morale of a workforce matters. i get workers wanting to come back in the office and they seemed totally where they are coming from. perhaps they believe that helps productivity and i know he can believe that. but you have to be mindful of how your employees -- >> sandra: let's listen to jamie dimon in his own word play it out it doesn't work for crazy domain creativity or decision-making employed from home works. i ring a lot of people friday and [bleep] it is hard to get a hold of. the younger generation is being damaged by this and it may not be your particular staff but they are being left behind. they are being left behind socially, ideas go to meeting people. we didn't build this great

company by doing that with the same [bleep] disease everybody else does periods beta there is a lot of evidence, that was peoe who work from home more sedentary not committing and nog to work or developing those relationships. does jamie dimon have a point here? >> well, i was a great jared on employers get to set policies and 100% jamie deming camp and working from home. it produces low productivity and harms especially young people who do not yet have the networks in the training and need the mentoring and need to make the connections. so i think he has right to want to get his workforce back from the office. i think it will make jpmorgan more productive. it is his job to get the highest results for shareholders. i absolutely concur with the sentiment and i think he's doing the right thing for the bank. >> sandra: i appreciate the discussion both of you for joining us douglas and jared. will ask you what you think about it because jamie dimon was

not holding back. you have to think for a lot of major banks, they are trying to run a serious business. when you can't go into office and see people face-to-face, it can be challenging. >> john: well, of course, we have been at work all through covid. we have not worked from home and i don't think i ever did one report. maybe i did one during covid from my house, but that was about it. it is great to have people at work but the downside of it is though president trump ordered the federal workers to come back to work, traffic here was a lot worse overnight. so, that is the downside, but there is plenty of upside. >> sandra: it is an interesting discussion and everybody has an opinion and talks about this at home because everybody in their home towns have people back full time at work and some who are still working from home in in their lifestyles have adapted to that. >> john: there is a lot of low occupancy and state buildings in

washington, d.c. but it does hurt traffic. i will say. okay, enough complaining. in new york and justice department over the criminal case against mayor adams yesterday. the top prosecutor on the case resigned and doj officials seek to "the weaponize this is the system against new york mayor eric adams." david spunt joins me now and they know what the case is about that the reaction from the acting at the seventh district of new york was pretty interesting. eight pages to the justice department, doj acting deputy attorney general wrote eight pages back. mayor adams is facing federal public corruption charges and then type in last september. those charges as of right now not officially brought because the case has not been dismissed. on monday acting deputy general with the southern district of new york as the ny daniel instructed her to drop the case. fox news obtained wednesday letter from the attorney general

pam bondi to explain she was not comfortable dropping the case. she wrote rather than rewarded, adams advocacy should be called out for what it is improper offer of immigration enforcement and assistance for exchange for dismissal of his case. and insist the criminal case was keeping adams from enforcing his duty as mayor especially curbing illegal immigration. boeing said no quid pro quo the adam said as much earlier fox news. watch. >> think about my attorney, alex, one of the top attorneys in the country. imagine him going inside saying the only way going to assist in immigration, which i was cold and to assist 2022 is if you drop the charges. that is quid pro quo and she took three weeks to roof report in front of her criminal action? among, silly.

wrote her back accepting resignation and no room justice department to sicu on the priorities of the executive branch determined by the american people. at least two and other top officials doj and washington have resigned over protest. a judge has to agree to drop this case officially. it is unlikely you can stop, john, the prosecution and defense say they want this case to go away. nothing is official until the judge signs up and the judge in new york may actually call both sides and for a hearing to ask questions. >> john: but the justice department wants to drop it, i don't suppose the judge will prosecute. the judge doesn't have much to do other than a hearing or running a spicy opinion. just be was fascinating segment on "fox & friends." >> a lot of tempo. >> john: sandra. >> sandra: president trump is set to sign more executive orders and a busy week at the white house. we will bring you the latest from there when it happens

>> sandra: doge setting his sights on the next target, irs while democrats with lawsuits to stop the task force.

president trump, doge staffers enter the office to start the process. hillary vaughn live on the hill for us. hillary, what exactly are they doing. >> same era they are auditing the auditor as well biden to expand the workforce, president trump has a different idea to do a lot more with a lot less. "the wall street journal" said the doge team member requested meeting with senior officials at the irs and interested in the agency's head count. they reported late don't have access to your tax returns. no access to the computer systems or taxpayer information. treasury secretary scott bessent said the irs needs major it upgrade and he doesn't think anyone would make the case that the irs is working great as it is and should be left alone. >> with the irs, i have three goals: collections, privacy, and customer service. and i don't think there is anyone who thinks that either of those three categories is firing on all cylinders.

we will do a big it upgrade, and then we will see where that takes us. >> we wait to see what doge does at the irs. treasury inspector general is starting their own audit. the democrats have argued what doge is doing is the job of the inspector general. well, the it is finally getting to work. they say they will take into fraudulent any improper payments at treasury and also looking into whether or not sensitive payment information was improperly accessed by anyone on musk's team and that is something democrats continue to warn about. >> you can't spell it without. >> kayleigh: galaxy to to elon. he spent $80 million to elect donald trump and donald trump is now allowing him to rampage through federal agencies. trump and musk like to say we are weeding out fraud to go to waste and abuse in looking at efficiency. that is a dog whistle.

>> while doge is digging for the federal appear to be hacked by an outsider and posting to the government website for the department at that for many patience, "these experts left their database open." it is not clear whether doge knows they are hacked, sandra. >> sandra: hillary vaughn live on capitol hill, john. >> john: manhattan attorney general from new york and connecticut speaking to the press about efforts to stop elon musk's doge team from accessing america's private and sensitive data. they join other advocates trying to stop the federal budget cutting and restrict musk's access to waste, fraud and abuse. the next guest says that is exactly what the american public voted for. jonathan turley fox news contributor and law professor. impact, let me read from your -- they call them evil but trump is doing what americans want.

federal employees entitled to protections in employment but not entitled to permanent employment. congress is entitled to appropriate money for specific purposes but not entitled to manage the executive branch. trump is very willing to buy don't they help us. he will take strong constitutional position and stronger political position. it is true because the more democrats fight him for more popular he becomes. >> oh, no,, what you think trump can ask for more than letitia james standing up at length about her plans how the federal government should run? it seems l everyone is trying to make that decision from judges to state officials to members of congress. everyone except the person who is delegated with that task under article two, is the president of the united states mark in these judges have already gotten ahead of their skis. to get at the judge who originally enjoined the effort

employees to take this to third buyout. when he did that, this judge enjoined it in many of us scratched our heads and have no idea, no inkling how you can view this as unconstitutional. clearly, the president has that authority. ultimately, the judge lifted that injunction. but i expect you will find a lot of early injunctions will shake out. some will hold their ground and be reimbursed. others, you will see the administration modifying its position. but trust me on this, at the end of the day, this government is going to shrink. this president was elected to reduce the size of government. he's allowed to do that. there are issues here about privacy act issues and also congress can dedicate funds. all of that will shake out as well. but these democrats are trying to slow down the effort to reduce the government. frankly, john, one of the most alarming things for me,

senator warren and senator kaine from virginia telling employees, don't trust this offer. it is a scam. at the time, that is a rather dangerous disinformation. these employees want this deal. their own unions are opposing something they want. but is not a scam! the government is bound by this deal. >> john: what the democrats were saying basically, you can't trust the federal government because the salaries of the employees at the federal government are backed by the federal government, the full faith and credit of the united states of america. they were basically saying, "don't trust your own country." the messaging to me, how can i get better than letitia james going after trump? i don't know if you saw at the other day the song of the democrats were singing on capitol hill that will cain played on the shelf? that came close. 14 states suing to stop trump to take aim at elon musk in the lawsuit says in part about musk there is no greater threat to

democracy than the accumulation of state power in the hands of single unelected individual. president trump is delegated unchecked authority to mr. musk without proper legal authorization from congress and without meaningful supervision of his activities. if you are going to choose anyone to conduct an audit of the federal government, and might be advantageous to have the richest man in the world do it because you know he's not after the money. >> well, i agree, john. simply does double hunt. to the fact he is allowed to have musk working through the white house and treasury people and officials parted doge. congress has a parallel doge committee and vigs doing their own investigation along the same lines. all of that is permissible and asked for musk himself and when he went to twitter he fired 90% of the staff and they said this will shut down twitter and it

did not. twitter has bounced back and functioning with a smaller force. now, does that mean you can do that with federal government quite mark no, it is not that simple po2 you couldn't find a guy with a more clear i with reduction for us. >> john: well, we will see what the courts have to say about it. donald trump said he will under the courts of decision but he will appeal it so he may spend a lot of time in court as if he didn't spend enough the last year. jonathan, have a great weekend. >> things, john. >> targets are coming to the house.
