10:11 am
elon musk has been tasked with overseeing doge on behalf of the president and be 23 employees, doge folks, have been on boarding respective agencies across the federal bureaucracy has political appointees just like any other political appointee gets on board with a new administration with the changing of hands. to those individuals are helping the secretaries at the agencies nominated and confirmed my president trump and the united states senate to cut waste, fraud, and abuse at respective agencies. that is the way doge has set up in the way it will continue to operate. >> john: let's come back to the plane crash in toronto that happen yesterday and the fact democrats seem to be pointing the finger, the blame at the president. not sure how you make that connection when the crash occurred in a different country. here's what chuck schumer said, "to those wondering whether it matters in canada, the flight from minneapolis and the fda
10:12 am
responsible for inspecting aviation equipment and trump let go of faa specialists." we have no idea what caused the crash and a hard landing but we don't know if a failure of equipment or whether or pilot error or something else. yet you get the minority leader in the senate immediately pointing fingers at the president. your response. >> it is incredibly irresponsible for chuck schumer to say such a thing when the investigation is still underway. as you rightly pointed out, john it took place in the air space with air traffic controllers overseeing it appeared at the back about the faa no air traffic controllers have been let go by secretary duffy or this new administration. impact, secretary death they put great emphasis on hiring the best and brightest air traffic controllers who want to be a part of the faa and president trump signed a very strong executive order to ensure that the faa and all federal government agencies are focused
10:13 am
on merit and skill-based hiring. we want the best and the brightest and the most competent individuals in positions especially of public safety at the faa, the department of transportation, all departments across the federal government so we can best serve the american people. while secretary buttigieg and the biden administration set on their hands when it came to aviation safety for four years, this administration is taking it seriously and actively recruiting the best and brightest to join this very important field. >> sandra: karoline, marco rubio the secretary of state having critical meetings overseas, saudi arabia. we have steve witkoff joining as well and mike waltz. what can you tell us is coming from that? he seems to be putting out optimism that things may be getting closer to actual deal being made. >> i'm so glad you asked, sandra. this is a truly monumental step towards peace and russia ukraine war.
10:14 am
at the direction of president trump, secretary rubio a special envoy steve witkoff, national security advisor mike waltz spoke to the russians today made significant steps towards peace. this is the first step towards many. i would like to point out our administration including president trump himself in direct correspondent with the ukrainians as well including president zelenskyy. president trump talk to european allies and had a phone call with emmanuel macron and next week the prime minister of the u.k. will be at the white house. so we are insuring all parties are heard. but you have to speak to both sides of the war in order to truly negotiate a deal and problem solve. this is significant first step towards peace. again, the previous administration had no negotiations or discussions and really no diplomacy in this effort, president trump taking steps to be here for four weeks. >> john: i want to ask you,
10:15 am
karoline, new york city mayor eric adam subject to a meeting today. kathy hochul in a letter reading whether she should remove him from office. a federal judges asked the department of justice to come into court and explain why the charges against him were dropped. democrats are suggesting there was a quid pro quo involved here in exchange for cooperation on immigration. the doj would drop the charges against eric adams. he has denied that but what do you say? >> i do for you to the department of justice for specifics on this case and the ongoing case in the matter is with eric adams. what i do know eric adams has been incredibly courageous to speak out against his own party when many democrats refused to do so about the terrible border invasion of the illegal immigrants that the previous administration allowed to happen, which we know had a great impact on new york city and the education system and the transportation system and on
10:16 am
taxpayer dollars in the city that going to's illegal migrants and hotels. thankfully, all of that is coming to an ad thanks to leadership of president trump in new york will be only a sanctuary place for law-abiding citizens in new york under this administration. mayor adams has put out a helping hand to try to help the federal government in ending the invasion. he was not hurt by the last administration, but he is being heard by this administration because president trump will work with anyone who does best what is for the law-abiding taxpaying citizens. >> sandra: we have been covering your press readings here on "america reports" and we look forward to the next one. thank you for joining us. >> thanks, guys. >> i think nobody in history has got more bad publicity than me. i could do the greatest things and i get 98% bad publicity. but you know what i have learned, elon, the people are smart and they get. they get it and they see what's

happening. >> sandra: big interview with sean hannity sitting down with president trump and elon musk. airing tonight 9:00 p.m. eastern time what we will learn about work together in washington plus this... >> let's start with the string of mass firings by elon musk's doge. it has sparked a lot of chaos, confusion and fear. there is chaos going on and we should not put up with it. by the way, prices are supposed to come down and not airplanes. >> john: mainstream media hot on the blame game went belly up on the runway in another country. but just how is canada's airspace responsibility for president trump? fox news contributor, joe concha fox news contributor, joe concha just

>> john: "the new york times" reports democratic donors are up holding back funds because they are frustrated with the party's leadership and messaging on the heels of the polls in november. mark meredith joins us now go to maybe there's not enough singing in the streets, i don't know. >> they will be postmortem and a trickle-down effect next year because democrats need money and any shortage of funds could cost them swing voters. to the democratic national committee is in a reset mode if you will. laid off staffers after the election and some staffers were not given much notice that jobs would vanish. the chairman of the democratic party, he is on the road visiting five states pennsylvania, texas, illinois, wisconsin emissary and the when, they must look beyond their blue base. >> one of the challenges for the democratic party as we have allowed ourselves to message
10:23 am
smaller and smaller parts of our coalition. as a result, we have lost the narrative. who we are as a democratic party. what i am saying is a democratic party, we have to get back to basics. "the new york times" say donors waiting on the sidelines and the biggest liberal donors have paused getting frustrated what they see a lack of democratic vision. a poll shows moderate compared to more liberals in 45% of those surveys thanks the party should head to the metal and democrat insiders tell fox, moderation makes sense. >> i don't think we need more muscularity from progressives. i think we need new messaging, new ideas, new leaders. so with aggressive step back, that may be in the short term a good thing. >> you got the nation's governors coming to washington for a conference. it is possible using that time to test the waters for 2028 presidential race. a lot of people to figure out

10:25 am
over again with some the fault of the trump administration. >> sandra: shall we listen to tom costello? in his own words? >> this is a canadian air traffic control tower and canadian authority once it crosses the border and yet as you know this talk about staff cuts at the faa as a part of president trump's effort to trim down the federal workforce. and yet as you also know the faa complaining for years that they are understaffed and critical job positions, especially air traffic control. >> sandra: that is pretty hard to believe sean duffy said there has been 400 firings out of 45,000 staffers. somehow that is what led to this? a fraction of a fraction, sandra and again this is canadian is canadian airspace an runway and canadian air traffic. the u.s. had nothing to do what happen on the plane. to the pack the democrats and the media playing this blame game when we don't know what happened. this was 24 hours ago this
10:26 am
happen appear to this could have been may bid the plane diverted to another airport and the winds were high and ice on the granting. these are questions and we don't have definitive answers and the blame game someone like costello is a whole ball of wrong. >> sandra: it doesn't help the last administration need to weigh in and criticized the hours -- pete buttigieg posting to twitter and almost immediately the public needs answers. how many faa fired and what positions and why? secretary duffy to pending himself, staggering 45,000 employees were let go and they were all probationary, meaning higher than less a year ago, zero air traffic controllers and safety controllers let go. here is sean hannity with his interview with president trump and elon musk tonight. >> they want you to start hating each other and present the
10:27 am
elon musk, for example. you do know they are doing that to you. >> i see it all the time. they have many different things of hatred. actually, elon called me and said, you know they are trying to drive us apart. absolutely. we have breaking news, donald trump has ceded control to elon musk. president musk will attend a capital meeting 8:00 tonight. it is so obvious. they are so bad at it. i used to think they were good at it but they are actually bad at it because if they were good at it i would never be president. >> sandra: for clarification from karoline leavitt at the white house, this affidavit that says he is not the head of doge. it contradicts what president trump has said. you read on and he wants career special government employee and that is in that job's fee don't make musk a senior advisor to the present and not uncommon to
10:28 am
have senior advisors sges anita dunn was senior advisor to trump as the 18 serving as sge. >> and may hire those advisors delegated to do xyz and elon musk find waste, corruption and that is the story because he is finding a lot right now. trump may have been faded into this whole "time" magazine and elon musk the resolute desk and calling president musk donald trump 2.0 gets at this time that they did the interview jointly to say we are working together and you will not drive us apart. >> sandra: we will see more at that tonight, thank you so much. looking forward to that interview, john, trump and elon musk sitting down with sean hannity and must see tv. >> john: i like the one promotional sound bite they put out they are so far when musk talked about trump range syndrome. everything was going well and

never been sympathetic ear for trump. that seems to have a problem what the states are arguing. the things i'm hearing or troubling, indeed, but i have to have a record finding facts before i issue something. what do you think? >> this can't be based on emotions that the plaintiffs that don't like donald trump and apparently they don't like audits either. judge chutkan said if she went forward to block access for doge, the broader request would effectively shut the government down. it would cause them to come to a halt. that is why a lot of the judges are siding with the trump administration. right now we only have one or two outstanding ones that is not a win for the trump administration. that is because thankfully that judges are acknowledging coequal branch executive branch has to be able to exercise legitimate functions like conducting audits

within the executive branch, which i have, you see a much waste there is an overlap and how much is happening. i think that is what president obama was referring to. i think any reasonable president takes a look at this and says, gosh, we have to clean it up. donald trump goes after it aggressively and people are losing their minds. i've never seen people upset about audits and it should be good for the american people and stop auditing people if such a bad thing. i think people would be happy about that actually. you think about it, the brightest, smartest tech guys in the world offering and helping our governments like clean it up for free hookah people should be so happy about this. this is a win-win for everyone and here we are periods fee when losing their mine and here is what congressman said on x, this is about doge gaining access to irs data and a final warning elon musk has been after your personal financial info from da.
