light on the world and europe. >> what would you like to see government start to change? president trump is making changes, do you think that is filtering around the world? can president trump lead the way in that movement? >> that appears to be what is happening. americans were tired, we were in two terrible wars that ended badly and have veterans that need to be healed, we have homeless and mental ilness crisis in the united states. and europe is starting to respond. people are waking up to the fact we are reverting back to where countries take care of themselves and then look to take care of others, rather than prioritizing around the world. it has been 80 years since world war ii, it is time to reset and get in a new relationship. >> i suppose one criticism now
2:29 am
is government has grown too big and main need is slimming down the government. >> it is out of control, contractors are not held accountable, lobbying for special interest and lobbying to get democrats elected. it is out of control. we have a debt crisis, we spend more on paying debt interest than we do on the military. this is unsustainable path. huge amount of resistance to what president trump and elon musk are doing to make government more efficient. looks like the majority of american people support what president trump is doing and we think that is really the right approach and hope to see other countries take that on and become more self-reliant and less trying to demand others follow this path we have seen in recent years. thank you for speaking with us today. 4000 people next door feel the same way, people have to look
2:30 am
back and rebuild the countries, but there is positivity. so many people see a change and that is what the conference is here to do, plot a before the path to the future. >> carley: you usually don't hear global conferences address these type of issues, interesting three days. thank you, we appreciate you both. >> thanks, carley. >> carley: president trump turning to supreme court in bid to fire head of watch dog agency after federal judge temporarily blocked removal and another judge will hear arguments over where elon musk and his doge team can have access to federal data after 14 states asked for temporary restraining order. our constitutional system was designed to prevent abuse of 18th century monarch, it is no less dangerous in hands of a tech baron.
2:31 am
constitutional law attorney joins me now. ken, so many lawsuits, so little time. 14 democrat-led states are trying to block doge from doing what they are doing. what is their argument and do they have a legal leg to stand on here? >> they are saying the president overstepped authority with executive order. they are reading it wrong as far as i can see. the president has a duty to manage the executive branch, he is head of the executive branch and article two constitutionally mandated powers and conferring onim had extraordinary control over executive branch employees and general administrative laws. this seems consistent with that, you want a president conducting oversight with his branch and rooting out fraud and waste. >> carley: judge overseeing this case is tonya chutkin, oversaw
2:32 am
donald trump's electrion case. how much will that factor into the decision here? >> i like to believe judges set politics aside when they are on the bench, i will not speculate on that. these 14 states have filed their lawsuit, 20 states fired brief saying this is intrusion on president's article two powers. >> carley: if she does decide with 14 states, is that it, it is over and goes to supreme court? >> this is district court, lowest level of federal court and goes to circuit appeals. >> carley: long journey ahead. >> as always. >> carley: totally. something else donald trump is trying to do is end birth right citizenship. interesting piece in new york times, opinion piece and the authors say he might have a
2:33 am
legal point. they say, they meaning illegal immigrants did not come in amity and gave no alelegiance to the country when they entered. they cannot be bound through laws through act of defiance of the laws. explain that argument in layman's terms and do you agree? >> where does birth right citizenship come from? 14th amendment. one amendment executed in the aftermath of civil war. 13th abolished slavery, 14th in section one confers birth right citizenship on anyone born or naturalized in the united states. it isser cloo, i believe law of the land and here to say. that is not to say all constitutional rights cannot be regulated. speech is regulated, when a government can search and seize proper, it is regulated, there
2:34 am
may be argument this is subject to reasonable regulation. standing on the plain meaning, it would appear it is here to stay. >> carley: you think birth right should thesship is one donald trump will lose in the court? >> i don't think it is going anywhere. >> carley: there is argument in the new york times. >> very surprising. >> carley: thank you for joining us. have a great day. let's talk about the weather, a major story. the northeast is preparing for a potential powerful winter storm this week and new york is set to be pummelled by what could be the snowiest storm of the season fuelled by a polar vortex threatening to bring wind chills negative 50 degrees to the area by thursday. senior meteorologist janice dean has the fox weather forecast. get the parkas out. >> janice: yes ma'am, record-setting temperatures as far as texas. across the northern plains to

2:36 am
plains, the jet stream bringing that cold air, where will it go? that is the question. i wish i could give an answer to. >> carley: always the question. >> janice: if you live across i-95 corridor, pay close attention wednesday, thursday and we'll give you fine details as we get through the next couple days. >> carley: heed the warnings. no days off for the weather de department. >> carley: elon's team head to air traffic control center today. white house pushes for efficiency, democrats are focused on taking doge down. cheryl casone and -- with donald trump at daytona 500 will react to that and more coming up next. we know our clients are so much more than clients. they're go-getters and game-changers,

2:43 am
by the way, we've been talking about federal worker buyout, that has been proposed. to be clear, donald trump said air traffic controllers are not part of that, you cannot take that buyout, which many of us would support. elon musk posted about this, he said air traffic control is nonpartisan issue, this is not black or white, not red or blue, this is lives. we have to make sure skies are safe. >> carley: elon musk and doge getting attention for cuts they are making to federal government and trying to streamline computer systems and update them. that sounds like that is what this is about. >> cheryl: it is, space x engineers will be going to the command center. remind everybody, space x is

2:46 am
we need to have spending in the sunshine. people deserve to know where hard-earned tax dollars are be ing spent. we have a website that says this is how we spend your tax dollars. too many dollars are being wasted overseas on nonsensical issues and problems. >> carley: congressman, a lot of what politicians say in media can be reactionary. when you talk to democrats on capitol hill and halls of congress, do you think they feel like we are in a constitutional crisis when it comes to cutting government waste? what are they saying to you? >> they are upset they lost majority. they ran government for four years into the ground and now american public has to pay. americans have a government that looks out for them and takes care of basics, protects our country and make sure tax
