his arms, or on his shoulder at what the strangest thing about president trump was in the shot seated at the resolute desk. next to his closest buddy. he occasionally would chime in, i cannot think of a time when trump let someone else will be the star of the show i'm doing what donald trump says billions of dollars in waste, fraud, abuse. a new enemy of the people the rule of the bureaucrat we had an unelected fourth unconstitutional branch of government which is the bureaucracy which has in a lot of ways more power than any elected representative. this is not something that people want. quick cutting bloated government is popular at least until people

are personally affected. they have a lot of unanswered questions about elon musk's role and will get to that later. i am howard kurtz and this is media buzz. ♪ and donald trump of how far president can go on spending without the approval of congress, one phrase made its way from the major newspapers, to constant cable news segment. >> tonight there are warnings the u.s. is dangerously close during a constitutional crisis percocet on cnn and we're three weeks into trump's second term that u.s. is dangerously close to a constitutional crisis. his senate so long the boy who cried wolf. jude we are basically on a

collision course with a constitutional crisis. >> joining us out to analyze the coverage is fox news contributor meghan hays a former top official in the biting campaign and white house. is this a constitutional crisis varies pendants are claiming? buck's first off, it is good to have you back. i hope you're doing well. >> a push it. >> this is not a constitutional crisis. i think the point dana was making in that segment that you posted is when you have someone cry wolf long enough, then you do not have the language for what happens when the wolf actually shows up. in this case elon musk is the wolf and this is the kind of thing people view them that way. especially in this. the truth is is not a constitutional crisis. we see what is happening in the courts is indicative of that.

courts are reacting to what donald trump is doing, what lee elon musk is doing. they are responding and appealing it had one of the things i think that is key in this administration from the get-go, the reason they are moving so fast and breaking things in the silicon valley way is because i think they believe once these cases get up to the supreme court they will win. they will vindicate their perspective on the power of the executive and they are starting the test from day one. >> scotus strategy but they keep pounding the drums and using the phrase over and over and over again does it start to feel like a crisis? >> no, i do not think so democrats in that media are being reckless and raise an issue donald trump said last week and he would listen to the courts and abide by the court so when we wait until he doesn't do that to have this crisis and should be so breathless on tv and make people believe there is a constitutional crisis. when you are implying there's something he is going to abide by, is exactly the boy who cried wolf and just like you were saying, what do we do and it

actually is a crisis? >> i have a short soundbite you are referring to so let's roll it. >> i always abide by the courts and then i will have to appeal it. what he has done is to slow down the momentum. >> why does that not shut it down? all of the speculation. sure he is testing the limits in the presidential power and the question is, can he not spend money appropriate by congress and all of that which will be litigated? but that does not seem to have stopped many of his critics. >> fundamentally what we are witnesses is the reaction of a town that a certain norms. we don't expect this kind of thing to happen. we don't expect the president to come in and start slashing, cutting jobs getting buyouts and the conservatives believe the president has the power to do print them and arguing it for quite some time. we do not expect to see that type of taking on of what elon

musk is described in the oval office is something conservatives has traditionally referred to as the administrative state. a leaderless bureaucracy that makes many of the decisions writes that liberal patriot subsector. almost every single one of these issues where they are attacking it are on the side that could change obviously they could get into food stamps and where the money it really is there still in the popular. >> i have to get this in. they just posted this defiant sentence on truth social he who saves his country does not violate any law. that's been criticized that the

president does it's illegal what you make of that sentence? >> it depends who you think a save in the country but a lot of people would vote that he is not saving the country disagree wholeheartedly. it that's all we have three coequal of government. as a court system to litigate thefacing some of the things wee doing and the stop in court some are not there while he abides by it we will see what happens. the take action when there's actually breaking the law. >> what is underway at the monumental battle over the shape, the size of the federal workforce and federal agencies. musk's talk about cutting agencies by about as much is 30 or 40%. which the washington post says will give chuck more power will dramatically scale back regulations, agency's attempt to enact, true? >> i think that is true. but one of the other things as this is consistent with elon musk's approach to almost every aspect. that's not a private company per. >> it is not but he would like

to make it work more like one. the frustration that republicans have had and the administrations in the past is that it is almost impossible to fire a bureaucrat. even for because when they violate all sorts of different things on hr issues and the like. when they are proving with this as they are going to test the bounds of how much they are able to do when it comes to this. they're doing it in a way that has a complete ripple effect in washington d.c. this is like nothing i've seen the administration do before in terms of the reaction, the bureaucracy that thought they were coasting along. they will be completely fine as they mostly were in the first trump term. >> are already starting starting to pop up about republicans lawmakers complaining that if you cut nih grants that's going to hurt our big research universities depending on what state this will cripple the national parks media more than happy to spotlight this it will translate in their states.

>> absolutely this is one of the things are trump says he has a second term president cannot run for reelection. these won't hurt him this will hurt people in the midterms and people running and 28. i look at usaid since $2 billion a night sits alone. if you go into rural georgia when they're spending money on peanut farms those are going to be impacted those will impact members of congress. that will not impact donald trump it is always going to be the republican pa party after h. >> white house press secretary karoline leavitt took on this question and this is what she had to say. >> many outlets in this room have been fear mongering the american people into believing there is a constitutional crisis taking place here at the white house. howie: and ben are they fear mongering? >> the art fear mongering as we have said. one of the things i think is important to understand about this is that going after things like foreign aid are always going to be popular.

they hate the bleeding heart side of things is not going to win that argument. but, your point is very well put which is to say once these things impact communities and states, republican start looking at the midterms and say donald trump is not on the ballot. not at the top of the ticket 30 is not necessarily going to be there to pull me across the way dead with a lot of these people who ran successfully in districts in blue states in particular. states like new york and california. it ended up making a difference with the republican majority. when that starts happening at my question is, are these people going to be able to stand up to the admin or everything else and say i can't do that. i'm going to have to defend these cuts in my community and try to win it using other methods. that's going to mean it is a link to watch. howie: will be a lot of hand wringing and squealing understanding. "new york times," some republicans have sought

carveouts and special consideration for agriculture scientific research and so everyone is for budget cuts until it pecks their state or city. >> abs that they want to win when they are democrat or republican bring a money back to your district is how you win reelection. going along with president trump's cuts is not higher going to run a reelection for it may be scared of a primary candidate you may not win anyway. that's where the robbers went to meet the road. >> one person's newest cork is another person's essential industry at.

>> the coverage of trumps gaza plan is that it is essentially dead. but, he keeps talking it up as if it's moving forward. >> i think we talked about a lot of things without them actually happening. when things doing with this is i believe he want to change the conversation to one that was forcing a lot of the other folks in the area the folks in the region to come forward with alternatives to his plan. putting something that is unrealistic out there, that he wants to put forward as a goal is often times meant to increase the window in terms of you've got to come up with a better solution. i've got to come up with an alternative. that being said, that alternative has yet to form and a serious way there's been discussions about there's been what is going on and perhaps of offering alternative approaches. but, effectively has change the conversation we are going to have to see where things go.

howie: trump said yesterday all the hostages need to be released it's now up to israel. megan, what about that? almost any refugees. and so this effort to change the conversation is not doing very well with the countries that will be involved. >> put up countries they came up very quickly and swiftly against this plan plan and say we are nr this uae or jordan as you saw in the oval, he did not look to be happy sitting in the oval office. you may want to be taking a conversation where his digging and on something that is so unrealistic the rest of the world is not working his plan. howie: is the heart of immediate criticism the forced relocation of almost 200 palestinians based on a premise they can live well somewhere else at some later time is wrong. been? >> i think part of the issue though way he did is to have the

reaction of egypt, jordan and all these other places doubling down on the fact they do not want these refugees. none of these countries want to take any of these people and expose them and made clear to them these other areas that are in the region, they went in there they want that crab box. in terms of foreign policy. projection against the israelis as we have seen them do. that's the thing he wanted to highlight with us. now, where this goes from here i do not have an answer for you. it is the middle east. where it goes is bad. >> i agree. i think the president is putting himself in a really uncomfortable situation. i don't think is going to go anywhere and were going to sit here and talk about it. we can virtually remove people out of their own land and out of their own territory that's not our business to be involved and i don't think americans want to be involved in. howie: even if that territories devastated and how do you do it

without troops to enforce? it is hamas but there's still a terrorist right there. were going to switch countries and wars with a question to you per truck telling reporters that president biden is to blame for the russian invasion of ukraine by saying he supported nato membership of ukraine and talking about a minor incursion from russia. that caught your attention for. >> present by never said they were running for it nato but he made clear on multiple occasions of the time is at the white house they were not ready for their membership into nato they were working towards something. they had an opportunity to have other countries to make the alliance stronger and that is what they did. present biden put together a coalition of allies to help support nato because he understands ukraine is the first defense against russian how important that is. >> i just think bring them back up the minor incursion line is something that had to, i'm sure it did not sit well with you. it happened it is something he said it's a huge mistake.

the present is just pointing this out in a way of firing back on meet the press today is not going so with any settlement that's worked out by u.s. and russia posted the two countries after that long conversation the president phrased with vladimir putin. vladimir putin obviously is somebody who unprovoked did this invasion, killed civilians donald trump seems to trust him a lot more than a lot more americans. with many troops in place. >> you cannot beat negotiating for another sovereign country it's embarrassing this is going to negotiate our foreign policy. howie: ultimately they have to get to zelensky i'll think zelek

articulated exactly weaponization. >> joining us now from new york dominant quarter who hosts the daily show. dominic as you note seven federal prosecutors including the u.s. attorney of manhattan have resigned rather than drop the charges. lifelong republican who clerked for justice scalia saying there was a corrupt to agree with adams we do not have any independent evidence of that. has this coverage fueled the idea the whole thing stinks? >> the first of all, it is so nice to be here with you. the best way i can answer this question, we all love sausage. but very few of us can stomach the process and how it is made. we have to be fair to the trump administration in this case. they are not the first administration to interfere d.o.j. or from washington with federal u.s. attorneys. with what is happening here, as

you know and i know you know we've covered the stuff for very long time for the southern district is fiercely independent. and from known as the sovereign district. from the trump menstruation, before the election so voters did not like this they could have not voted for him. before the election he said the case was weaponize against adams. he said this at the dinner and, he said this before hand. so it is not surprising to me that someone who's covered the southern district i've been a report of the southern district but i've covered this town for 40 years. we have to be fair here. howie: i am all for fairness to produce and cover the justice of our and the factly trump officials acknowledge they did not look at the evidence in making their case before trying to get that mayor's indictment thrown out. does that affect the way new

yorkers look at it? i think to the mayor when tom homan the borders are does it affect the way new yorkers look at it? >> let's keep in mind new york is overwhelmingly blue. there is nothing if we are going to be kindness and candidly trump administration could do that's going to go over well here. but, look at the president's overall approval numbers and in some cases hitting 70%. it's not going over well here because adams is the top democrat if you will in the country. it is seen as he is compromised to the trump administration all i'm saying is let's be fair in the process and let's look at the entire way. do you think this is the first time d.o.j. has interfered with the u.s. attorney throughout the country? it's just in the trump administration t there being transparent about it. howie: i think it's the first

time it's been so public and blatant as opposed to a source essay. now, in fairness eric adams was criticizing joe biden on immigration. will this hurt eric adams reelection bid? you got a former cop getting indicted and accepting a pardon. >> and howard, as you well know, the 800-pound gorilla in the situation as a former governor of the state, andrew cuomo, who is looking to make his return to politics is floating the idea of running for mayor. adams has been wounded. there's no doubt about it i do not know if he can win a democratic primary. normal he can cruise i'm not so sure he said is running as a

corrected. nobody is going to about 1000. we will make mistakes but we will act quickly to correct any mistakes. >> what is scrutinizing pentagon spending one spacex has billions in it's spacex or someone with the contract. >> only and the insane liberal clown posse world with volunteering to save taxpayers billions of dollars which is what musk is doing, could in any way be considered wicked. >> has access to social security numbers what does he think elon is going to do with your social security number? is he going to open up a credit card in your name and max it out at best buy? >> trump critics denigrated musk's appearance. >> elon musk's cult president donald trump for the first three weeks of their presidency attempting a full assault on the

separated powers of the constitution. >> eight picture of a presidential subservience the likes of which we have never seen. the most powerless image of a president of the united states ever created by camera. >> joining us now and connecticut, charlie is senior business correspondent for foxbusiness network here with me molly a reporter for the wall street journal. molly, mosca told trump that media are trying to drive us apart according to the joint interview on hannity tuesday. that is true but why would musk emerge from behind the scenes and take reporter's questions for half an hour? >> he was there, they were there it seems like. that seems to be the beginning and end of it. but, it was quite a spectacle wasn't it? it was such an incredible scene. howie: with the president looking on, i was almost at a loss for words. charlie, what did you make of

this year spectacle of it? the theater of it right down musk pai parent with his 4-yeard son? >> i like the fact that reporters are harping on the thing that elon said, i made some mistakes like reporters never make mistakes. ever. howie: we all know that. [laughter] >> i think this is great it's hard for me too find, as a reporter, to find any outrage here if so, let's be clear. he's totally transparent everything he finds it was on the web. we have a 2 trillion-dollar budget deficit. you notice all this hysterical talk about usurping presidential powers it gleans out the elephant in the room that we have a $2 trillion budget deficit. 36 trillion end that we have a bond market that's negatively reacting to that lately. this is necessary. if we don't do this we could face physical armageddon at some

point. no one is bringing that up. and by the way aside from the typical msnbc viewer, are the american people love this. [laughter] here's where journalism fell down on the job. without the old story about the $6000 toilet seat and some battleship. howie: i've got to jump and they may love it until they start to feel the effects of it as we talked about earlier bred by the bite you mention msnbc i'm going to go to molly next, charlie hold on. nicolle wallace on msnbc three minutes into musk's appearance broke in and start started argud they tax off segment for the rest of the time. now, that was also true that was true i should say edit trump news conference. may be able to shrink the workforce private companies do this all the time and we accept it. lawmakers and lobbyists and

activists going to go nuclear if he starts cutting programs at 30 and 40%? >> if he actually starts doing that. think that's the real elephant in the room. for all of the sort of drama and hijab it has created to have him rampaging through moving fast and breaking things the federal government, it is not clear is actually making any big progress on that trillions in debt and deficits we are talking about. howie: is laying off a lot of people. sue for less than 5% of the federal workforce so far and the federal workforce overall is a rounding error on that debt and deficit and the big picture of the federal government. so republicans have a house and senate. they've had them before. if they really did see billions or trillions of dollars they could cut from the federal government, they should be doing that. i have asked them why they have not done that so far? they are sort of sank well, it's great that elon is doing it. >> elon gives them cover. >> the question is whether they

are actually going to get to the point where they are doing something meaningful versus making a big spectacle. howie: charlie, we ask musk and played one example of it about conflict of interest he deflected me saying i don't submit to contracts. is that going to fly? >> it shouldn't and we should explore that. by the way he's actually cutting a piece exposing government waste and we are wasting on spacex the ham hammer might come down on spacex. [laughter] what about that aspect? but i want to get back to my initial points. reporters like me and molly fell down on the job. we did not see the big story that was out there with all of this government spending on stuff that the public hates. this is the biggest story right now because elon musk is out there saying we give money to some of the most bizarre things and it is your money, the taxpayer people are outraged. obviously we start cutting like

rural georgia people but get mad. but overall i do not see riots in the streets over thousands of dollars going to transgendered and dance festivals in bangladesh i just do not see that but maybe you guys can tell me. >> the first so i think elon musk going to point this out gitsrelentlessly negative covere most of the press thanks he broke twitter and spews things that are not true but on this point, is it fair to say that we have not covered waste, for an abuse it seems like it's come up in every campaign in the last 40 years. >> i think we covered the big picture of the debt and the deficit. especially at the wall street journal on a very consistent a very rigorous basis. but, the truth about the debt and deficit is you can find every bit of something that can plausibly be considered waste, fraud and abuse and you are not going to make progress on the trillions in federal debt until

you actually cut the things i think people would not be so pleased and cheering in the streets being cut like medicaid and medicare and social security in defense spending. so when and if they get to the point where they're actually starting to make meaningful cuts of the federal budget will be interesting to see the response for quick so, so the big ones but this is not like laying off software engineers charlie, hang on. after the break, the white house advance the ap and anderson cooper on air apology. , no! bye, bye cough. later chest congestion. hello 12 hours of relief. 12 hours?! hmmm, ok. not coughing at yoga. antiquing not coughing? not coughing at the movies?! hashtag still not coughing?! aaah. oww! mucinex dm gives you 12 hours of relief from chest congestion and any type of cough, day or night.

howie: the white house as part ap reports indefinitely from covering many events including writing on air force one because the wire service will not change her name. >> i was very upfront in my briefing on day one that, if we feel there are lies being pushed by elements in this room we are going to hold the slides accountable. it is eight fact the body of water off the coast of louisiana is called the gulf of america. i'm not sure white news outlets do not want a call that. howie: molly, does ap decision to stick with the gulf of mexico justify the white house barring us reporters? not your some pooled events, not just some air force one but from a regular press conference? >> i think is a really troubling precedent that is being said here. the wire services job as a press

secretary as said is to tell the truth. the u.s. government has change the name for the purposes of the u.s. government. it does not have the authority to change the name by which international waters are referred or the rest of the world. the rest of the world does not agree to that change. they did change the name of mount mckinley forming finale because the u.s. government does have the power to make that change. there's no animus on the part of the ap against the administration. they are just following their style and attempting to communicate the truth to the readers as best they can. and so i don't think we want to get to a point where the administration is enforcing its version of reality by kicking out anybody that sees the truth differently but is not lying. howie: executive editor julie pais says this violates the first amendment. it's alarming the ap does said this is what the administration calls the gulf. do you find this kind of petty?

>> it is petty but does not violate the first amendment. let's face it the ap can cover the trump administration without going to a single press conference. new coverage through sources is not managed news. much of it is not managed news its process reporting. same process reporting 2 trillion no one cares. elon comes put meat out there it's brilliant. but it goes to transgendered dance festivals in bangladesh and then people get outraged. they should use this as an opportunity to do real investigative enterprise reporting. and by the white who cares what pam bondi says it does not educate readers what she is saying or viewers. >> abut other kinds of reporting

this may be a warning shot to the press. i want to turn now to anderson cooper he was on the air with the aforementioned governor when he kind of let loose with an insult. when you stop that process? >> what i am saying is the portrayal by him is not factually accurate. >> before i go i want to apologize. i was rude to you. >> are you kidding? i grew up with seven brothers and sisters. howie: the word that was [bleeped] is a shorthand nickname for richard. and molly, i'm glad anderson apologize but is kind of an embarrassing moment. bucks a little bit. i think as the governor said, no one was too bothered by it in the moment it's part of the heated back-and-forth and frankly it brought a little authenticity to the discussion i think. obviously it's a live interview no one to do that in a live interview.

but i think the government was right to take it in stride and i'm glad he did. >> you a bleeping liked it. practice is not about anderson. i am noticing this a new trend in cable news at least on some channels were cursing is cool dropping f bomb is cool this is a congresswoman who just aim the f bomb at trump. maybe i am ridiculously old-fashioned but i think it shows a lack of class. >> yes but sometimes we slip. trust me as someone the sparks fly and you slip it anderson is a nice guy, i've known them for years. but we slip sometimes this is live tv it's in the moment and we are trying to be spontaneous and sometimes you make mistakes but trust me i've been called worse on cable tv. i will say this if you overtly go out there to do this and that

is a way to get eyeballs, then i agree with you one 100%. we are defining deviancy down this was not a case of that though >> no, i don't think so at all but the border i think it's aimed donald trump a lot of people say yes. but again it just adds an element of crudity. thank you so much charlie. still to come a president who talks to reporters and talks and talks and talks. moderate to severe ulcerative colitis symptoms can keep coming back. start to break away from uc with tremfya... with rapid relief at 4 weeks. tremfya blocks a key source of inflammation. at one year, many people experienced remission... and some saw 100% visible healing of their intestinal lining. serious allergic reactions and increased risk of infections may occur.

triage the sheer amount of news. because this administration has had such a quick start and has had such a busy month there is just too much to focus on. >> every week i tell myself there's a lot are not going to be able to get in. no one is watching cnn anymore but then there is the smaller stuff. trump moves to end paper strauss. trump stops with pennies. trump not report hair print harriet but take a shot of meghan markle. any one of these things in a sort of quieter administration will be like a weeklong story. >> theythe alt news we have to r all them. but i think we collectively as a meteor doing a pretty good job of keeping focus on the big stuff apart yes you cover the little stuff. yes you cash out all the implications. but the big things happen without the president says is

shots of people, is that good for business? >> was a good for the public? what's with the weather to see in the second term of people have an appetite for. howie: you think people will get tired for? >> there was an especially and left journalism the first term. the second term is not clear people the same amount of time for. we will see part 36 molly ball thank you for sticking around. that's it for this edition of media buzz i am powered kurt's brightest a lot of things i wanted to get here but we cram as much as we can you can subscribe to my daily podcast media buzz immediately riff on the top five stories that funny ones and the weird ones, apple podcast is a very good place to do it. back here next and that you know the time 11 eastern with what is still the only media analysis show on national television.
