>> hello, this is "outnumbered." i'm kayleigh mcenany. here is how we begin, with president trump and elon musk sitting down for an exclusive interview with sean hannity. i discussed a wide range of topics, but the focus of the night was musk's department of government efficiency. he defended the way doge's agenda, as a way to implement president trump's executive actions. it was interesting, that point specifically. he ensured american voters that they will have their voices heard. speak of the president will make these executive orders which are very sensible -- >> the president will make these executive orders which are very sensible and good for the country, but they don't get up lamented. >> signing these executive orders and a lot of them don't get done, the most important ones. he would take the executive order i would sign and he would have those people go to whatever agency it was, "when are you doing it? get it done." and some guy that maybe didn't want to do it all of a sudden is

assigning -- he doesn't want to get involved. >> it's a real dynamic, one that the american people should be concerned about and glad about that elon musk is trying to rectify. president trump went on to defend his relationship with musk. he claims the media is actively working against them both. >> they have many different things of hatred to. actually, elon called me and said "you are trying to drive us apart," and i said absolutely. "breaking news, donald trump has ceded control of the presidency to elon musk. president musk will be attending a cabinet meeting." [laughter] and i said -- it's just so obvious. they are so bad at it. i used to think they were good at it. they are bad at it. if they were good at it, i would never be president. >> one of the points that was driven home was president trump will sign an executive order, and then it goes to the respective agency to be enforced, but there's not always that enforcing. in fact, sometimes the active

undermining. he went on to say that elon musk is the guy that goes in, make sure that the bureaucracy puts the president's vision in place. i want to pull this washington post quote, 2017. the first term. "resistance from within: federal workers push back against trump." wasn't as. "less than two weeks into trump administration, federal workers are in regular consultation with recently departed obama era political appointees about what they can do to push back against the new president's initi initiatives." that was the first time president trump said "not this time around." 's very interesting. with regard to his comment about telling elon to get it done and he does, this just crossed 30 minutes ago. trump empowered musk to explore drastic options to prod boeing to move faster and getting the two new air force one just delivered. he referred to that last night

and was like what are we waiting on? here's that way of getting it done. what i found intriguing about last night, i'm dying to see a three shot, a two shot. i wanted to understand the dynamics of the relationship between these men. i wanted to know if it was genuine, if it was real. speak i think what we saw last night or two guy -- i think what we saw last night are two guys that are really in sync with each other. you can ask how long it will last, but for right now, you're 29 days, and one month since jane were 20th tomorrow. that interview last night really opened up the door and showed us how these men get along. they came pretty close last night. >> very much in sync. one of the dynamics elon asked line was democracy. we have heard that the slogan for biden and harris was a threat to democracy, trump is a

threat to democracy. trump asked if it's truly democracy when the president is being undermined. >> there is a vast federal bureaucracy that is opposed to the president and cabinet. you look at d.c. voting, it's 92% kamala. that's a lot. i think about that number a lot, 92%. that's basically most everyone. but, how can you -- if the will of the president is not implemented in the president is representative of the people, that means the will of the people is not being implemented, and that means we don't live in a democracy: we live in a bureaucracy. >> that was really interesting framing, harris. >> there were times during the interview where i forgot that this was what it was. it was elon musk proving how he's gotten to be elon musk. just that moment right there,

how he can take something to the bare minimum and explain it. he has put rockets in the sky and everything else. drilled home, it's a piggyback on what you were saying, not just about their relationship, but was much less paternal than i thought. they were talking as equal business titans. they were talking about a vision for america. it was positive. it was forward moving. it was everything the last administration couldn't do, and still what liberals, democrats on capitol hill have yet to prove they can do: to take america forward. it doesn't need a nickname necessarily. you can just be successful to the left. what you see his success with a vision. >> on the note of what made elon musk elon musk, he has spacex, tesla, all of these ventures, but there was this moment were anybody who didn't know what elon musk was about i think figured it out. listen to what he's doing with no relink, literally helping people walk, helping the blind to see.

watch. >> we implanted neural link in three patient portal us so far who are quadriplegics. it allows them to directly control their phone or computer just using their mind, just by thinking. it's sort of telepathy -- you control your computer by thinking. it's possible to control the future and phone faster than someone who has working hands. the next step would be to add a second neural link implants, past the point where the neurons are damaged, so that somebody can walk again and have full-body functionality res restored. >> wow. >> emily, helping blind people see. that's the kind of guy i would want to enlist to better the federal government. >> of course. look, here's the thing: when we talk about the characterization of this and what was important, the authenticity is what rang so deeply. we talked about it a bit before the show. the authenticity of their relationship is apparent. that is not something you can

fake no matter how hard the prior administration, for example, tried between the president and vice president, for example. that synergy and relationship, that strength matters. in elon musk's position, his role as the executor of doge and implemented the president's will -- to resist it is resisting the will of the people. and yet, it was portrayed as comedy. politico called it "comedy on fox." they said critics called it "farcical, fawning, and utterly news free." i wonder what is news free about the long list of horrific expenditures our tax dollars have gone to. they called it toe curling at times when sean was asking about the authenticity of the relationship. i wonder, when you contrast that with the patrol of the media -- the prior admin attrition for example. "are you close with the

vice president?" and the questions that picked at the authenticity, their relationship or lack thereof. why isn't this in the best interest of the american people to know the allegiance first and foremost is to the constitution, the will of the people, and implemented the president's decisions as reflected by the will of the people. i found it utterly newsworthy. that's exactly the hallmark that doge and the relationship rests on. >> you mentioned criticism for the media. this was an interesting point trump made. it speaks to the time we are in now versus 2017. the media has in many ways been rendered irrelevant. all. >> i think nobody in history has got more bad publicity than me. i could do the greatest things and get 98% bad publicity. a few of your very good friends. it is like the craziest thing. but you know what i have learned, elon? the people are smart. they get it. >> they do. >> they really see what's happening. >> on the note about people being smart and getting it, you just have to look at polls here.

54% approval, 53% approval. cbs. you really get the sense that the media is piercing through what the media is saying. >> i would suggest that those polls are pretty much in favor of what they are trying to do. i will emphasize, we are in the early stages of all of this. how much they are able to say, we don't know. last night -- january said $2 trillion and last night he said you gun for $2 trillion and he hoped to get trillion dol dollars. i will make two other points. last night when elon musk said he wasn't always going to support trump, but came around during the campaign, and then when the assassination attempt hit butler, pennsylvania, i think it was that night. we were in milwaukee. it might've been the next day. i'm not quite sure based on the timing, when he put his support behind president trump on x. with regard to the president, he does not have to share this. just the fact that he did shows us that he is gracious and

respects musk. that may portend good things for this relationship, and also the eventual outcome they will achieve. >> it also speaks to the issue that he doesn't care what the haters are saying going forward. >> yes, and -- the most powerful man in the world and richest man in the world coming together to work on behalf of the american people. what could be better than that? president trump rattling off a laundry list of wasteful government spending. you won't believe it. - it's apparent. not me. - yeah. nice going lou! nothing like a little confidence boost to help ease you back in to the dating scene. of course, that also includes having a smile you feel good about. fortunately, aspen dental specializes in dentures and implants made just for you, with affordable options and flexible ways to pay, and now, they■re 0 dollars down plus 0% interest, if paid in full in 18 months. helping our patients put their best smile forward. it's one more way aspen dental is in your corner.

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> elon musk and doge are getting a lot of pushback. yesterday, president trump pulled out the receipts of some of the government's most outrageous spending programs.

>> where is the money being spent? lets go into that for just a second. $520 million for a consultant on the environment. it's called environmental social and governance. investment in africa. $25 million to promote biodiversity conservation and promote licit livelihoods by developing socially responsible behavior in the country of columbia. that's nice, $25 million going to columbia for something nobody ever heard of. $10 million for mozambique voluntary medical mail circumcisions -- mare circumcisions. and $20 million for volatiles -- for voter turnout here. $25 million for voter

confidence. want to give them confidence in liberia. $14 million for social cohesion in molly. $2.5 million for inclusive democracies in south africa. $47 million for improving learning outcomes in asia. asia is doing very well. they are doing a lot better than we do in schools, aren't they? we are talking about hundreds of billions of dollars. i could read this all day long. >> [laughs] in the bingo card of waste of our taxpayer dollars, i don't know if anyone could have predicted social inclusion, learning, circumcision -- what a horrible list that is. thank god for mike doge and president trump. >> i love to hear one person in the democrat party try to justify any of these lineups.

imagine if you've been struggling for the past four years, get the basics for a family, and you find out $10 million of your hard-earned taxpayer money is going overseas for circumcisions? they are indefensible items. that is why donald trump is in they are exposing it. i saw online the other day, somebody put the acronym for doge should mean democrats officially getting exposed. i feel like that is what is going on every second. >> to that point, and on top of that, we know that we have been funding the taliban and terrorist groups and still are weekly to the tune of millions. laura asks "how can the democrats defend this?" senator cory booker tried and call out the fact that elon musk and doge has access to taxpayer information. all the horrors. the reality is, they are government employees and so to the millions of current government employees who have access to our taxpayer information and frankly have stewarded it horrifically, as

shown not only by these expenditures, but the constant breaches, wielding of it in this fashion, and compared -- to tiananmen square. >> i think eventually, democrats have to come around. i think a few of them have. the phillips, the former congressman in minnesota. senator mark warner said something over the weekend that was contrary to what a lot of folks in his party were talking about. i saw the most fascinating interview yesterday on cnbc. alex car is the ceo of -- and they are doing major business with the government. they are deep in ai and are really successful. he's 57 and probably worth $10 billion. he said "i have been a democrat most of my life, i'm tired of seeing democrats commit suicide in front of all of us." and he blamed it on the progressives. then, he talked about two revolutions currently underway. one is transparency and one is,

obviously, ai. and to paraphrase, he said the intersection of all of this is coming together at exactly the right time, because you have these large liquid models that have the capacity to go into hhs or the pentagon or the irs and figure out what's going on behind closed doors. they can code all of it, which is what i think musk's secret sauce is. he knows something we don't. he knows how you can develop programs that can build products if you need it, or build software that can give us answers. having an admitted democrat talk like that i thought was eye-opening. suggesting -- a question in time before we can pull other democrats -- so maybe that's the next wrinkle in the story. >> we know that the government has no income other than our taxpayer dollars, and we know that the irs spends $8 to try to call back everyone dollars of our tax dollars if they perceive it as lost income.

i'm curious why the democrats don't see the hypocrisy when learning that some of their pensions were -- in gun connected manufacturers, that a big problem with that -- why isn't that the same problem in this forensic accounting with the bloated waste, the horrific expenditures that don't reflect the will of the people. why do they have a problem with that now? >> there hypocrisy radar is very low. there's two ways to think about doge and our debt. it is important and puts it in perspective. cnn has had multiple panic attacks over doge. steven miller had this epic moment yesterday where he went toe-to-toe with a cnn anchor and goes "our national debt is $36 trillion. do you realize the interest we pay every year on our national debt is more than our national defense budget every year?" the amount to defend our country, we are paying interest on the national debt. that's number one. if you don't care about that, the average salary in this

country is $67,000. that's rounding up. just the money fema gave to illegal immigrants, $80 million, simple math -- do it on your calculator -- 80 million divided by the average salary. that means 1,194 people's salaries like that just vanished. not their tax payments: their salaries. when you think about these payments in terms of salaries, it is your money evaporated to illegal immigrants, and the national defense budget gone. >> and doge -- has tracked that. we are keeping track of what doge is doing. so far, we have talked about that they have saved $55 billion by canceling over 1,000 government contracts that were determined to be wasteful or fraudulent. that includes, to her point, those salaries, the amount of positions they have extinguished, which by the way, during my tenure as a federal attorney, for every position, for every person that left a position, for every two they would only hire one. the formula for efficiency is not new, though not to this radical degree, and they have

receipts for the efficacy, the efficiency, the transparency that again the american people wanted, and yet, crickets on the left. >> taking a deep look at that as this one example. i want to know if they cut the salary of the person they kept. did they bloat it and say they didn't see that much savings by getting rid of the second person when you hired one versus two. i would have that question. to me, this is a battle over the sustainability of the united states of america, and the left sees that you can have open borders, which are expensive to run a country if you've got open borders and millions of people coming in who have yet to prove that they will be -- many of them illegal, many of them underage so they can't work yet. how do they help with the viability? the national security issue there. to me, doge's knocking down that 36000000000000-plus in debt with an idea: let's look for these things, the misspent money all over the place.

not just in a few agencies: you got to look for it everywhere. national security is paramount. you want to put military troops at the border, border patrol agents need more money right now. americans might support finishing the wall, but where are you going to get the money from? take it from places that the money was misspent. viability for this country is the end game. democrats are making us insolvent. what trump and his team are trying to do and i think will do is make us more solvents, and that's what we want. >> i think democrats view the united states of america as the size of the bloat of the federal administrative -- so they are fighting to sustain that, but the usa will thrive well outside of that. coming up, president trump's crackdown on vicious cartels has just reached a whole new level. stay with us.

going after the drug cartels hard. they should look over their shoulders every second. labeling several of these violent groups and other transnational gangs as foreign terrorist organizations. why weren't stayed out before? the reef o -- that reclassification allows the government to crack down on those it operating inside the united states and gives law enforcement more tools to fight against their human trafficking, weapon, drug smuggling. all of it. notably on the list, the extreme violent venezuelan again, this salvadoran gang, and a half dozen other powerful mexican drug cartels. laura, this is a huge step, but it seems so common sense. what next? >> this does seem common sense. you had 300,000 americans every year killed by fentanyl that the drug cartels, the gangs are bringing over the southern border.

nothing had been done about it, nothing had addressed it whatsoever. this designation as foreign terrorist organization, as you said, harris, allows the government to use all of its resources, even the treasury to go after these gangs and cartels. that's important. we want to get them out of here. we have absolutely no ability to deal with this in the united states. i think this is important. what's next is i guess we are going to get 'em out and then continue to secure our southern border. this is why people voted for donald trump in the selection. this is the number one issue: the southern border. it wasn't just about people coming over: it was about this gang taking over housing complexes and -- in aurora, colorado. it was about people feeling everywhere that you looked in our country, the communities were being taken over by these very dangerous criminal organizations. thank you donald trump for doing something about it, finally. this is one of the reasons people were so excited to have him back. >> with president trump in the white house, you have an

administration that's all hands on deck. you had sean duffy with transportation out, in the wake of helene. all these months later, trying to put a very important freeway back together, the third longest in the country. i-40. you have that all hands on deck approach, but a fine point on these next steps. you have a northern problem too. you have a u.s. border agent that was killed on inauguration day there. they are just now starting to unravel that case. they picked up a few cult members they think are adjacent or somehow involved in the killing. what do you make of the ability to fight both? >> you have to have the ability to fight both. we have to secure our southern and northern border. you look at the fact that we have 350 known terrorists right now in our country that the biden administration allowed in. a lot of those people came in through the northern border. a lot of people don't know that. it is important on both ends of our country to be able to say

"we can protect our people. we should know everyone who's coming here," so we have to protect both. >> it's great to see. i know you have a big show coming up this weekend. >> thank you. >> what i find most interesting about this is that the president of mexico, her political party is left wing. she -- you would not think she would be naturally inclined to invite donald trump and the government to carry out activity in mexico. two things are happening. over the weekend, a story broke about u.s. drones surveilling the cartels. a lot of that has not been confirmed. my hunch is some of this was happening during the biden administration and we didn't know about it. she was asked about it, her name is claudia sheinbaum here she is 62. she says the drones are part of a little campaign, but she encouraged the mexican senate to give approval for these u.s. military -- to come down and help train the army and especially their navy.

i'm frankly really surprised about it, but it may help. >> i will take a little campaign to help us rather than a minor incursion from the last guy. kayleigh. >> you think about the president. the previous president of mexico from the left and -- work with donald trump -- amazing with the threat of terrorists will do. as i think about this and listens to laura lay out what president trump is doing, i think about joe biden and ask myself why didn't he do this. it's common sense to list drug cartels as terrorist organizations. the last seven days of biden, you had about 3,000 encounters at the border a day. the first seven days of term, it was 1,000. trumpet flips a light switch and cuts the border crossings by two-thirds. did not convince you of when women and girls were being slaughtered across the country, did that not convince biden? i would love to sit down and say "why didn't you protect american women by taking common sense steps?" >> and i think part of the

reason for that is because president biden and the designation of the foreign terror designations, the argument was it was going to be too broad, so a lot of the bleeding heart voices that tugged the administration so far left said "it's going to adversely affect migrants. you will start targeting those poor families that pay the cartels thousands of dollars, you're going to wrap them up in that terror designation." the fallacy in that argument is the fact that president trump is nuanced, that the execution of the designation of the foreign terrorist organizations is there. it's specific and it unlocks the resources the biden administration withheld and totally subverted. remember under his watch when someone shouted "abolish ice," and he said "give me a couple days." under his watch when he slashed the budget for the border and customs protection agency, when he -- allegations that were such a farce. at the end of the day, the claimant under the biden administration, my point is, was one that undercut law enforcement, did not enforce

those rules, and refused to unlock, to unleash the hounds, so that we could put off our full force and effort. i have one respect to this agreement with you. i don't think a lot of that -- one respectful dis- agreement with you. and i think a lot of that was -- yoked the dei. after they closed that, there were a lot of close doors at the agency. others had been wasting, taking up the time over the last four years. speak let's pretend for a second biden knew all of what was going on. i doubt that, but let's pretend. then i guess you're my other question is why didn't he care enough to change it? coming up, a new report revealing democrats are struggling to drum up donations in the wake of terms election lens like (♪) it's about the money. on car insurance by checking allstate first. like you know to check first that you bought seats in the right section. kansas fans, get on your feet! boo!

>> this justin department of transportation secretary sean duffy announcing he is rescinding approval for that really controversial new york congestion pricing. this was a first in the nation. $9 tolls. imagine you cross the street in new york city and get hit with a $9 toll, forcing commuters into subways that that's dangerous these days. sean duffy is saying every american should be able to access new york city regardless of their economic means. it should not be reserved for an elite few. something perhaps both parties can rally around. watch this. turning to the democratic party. this is also huge. struggling to counter president trump and his agenda, donors reportedly getting pretty fed up. according to "the new york times," "some of the country's biggest liberal donors have paused giving, frustrated with what they see as democrats lack of vision and worry about retaliation from

eventual president. some democrats say a few of their reliable donors --" listen to this -- "are now openly supporting mr. trump, or are at least looking to curry favor with him. that last line, i showed you "the new york times" loved to report that. you were at the rnc previously appeared to have a democratic donor now change support to trump is a pretty dramatic change. >> you almost never see this. it's one thing to convince someone to vote for another party, but to have the money come in with these big donors -- that's huge. what you are seeing with the democrats is that they are ratherless -- rudderless. they have no message, except for the opposite of whatever donald trump does. whenever donald trump is there exposing the rot in our federal government, being transparent with the american people, saving billions of our taxpayer dollars come it's hard to argue against that. they will have a hard time as a

party. as i may come of the former cochair of the rnc, one of the things i noticed at the dnc -- i know you talked about this when they were voting for their new leadership. they all raised their hands whenever they said "do you feel misogyny and racism are the reasons, harris lost?" they learn nothing. >> this is before they did that dance, to the left, which i thought was apropos. cnn, making that point. sure he -- >> donald trump and the republican party has changed the electorate. you will back -- you go back to 2017, five points was that him. back to 2021 when joe biden was starting up, six points more of the electorate was democrats and republicans, but look at what is happening in february of 2025. look at this. republicans. there are more republicans in the electorate than there are democrats. republican plus two donald trump and the republicans have remade the electorate. all of a sudden, you get the

winning recipe whereby you break the normal rules of politics and get donald trump up positive net approval rating when he pretty much had consistently negative comments are number one. as i sit at the beginning, he is copying frank sinatra, doing it my way. >> bill, that's a cataclysmic shift. >> it is. $1.5 billion is what you need to think about because that's what kamala harris had to spend. i read the article. it's very good. it's very long. it's very detailed. they have something a lot of articles don't have, and that is people giving their names and attaching them to quotes. these are big money people. a lot of people in new york, california. it was very well done and -- for the democratic party. this is those giving the money saying "we have got to straighten this out to. we have got to get our ship in order." doge expires under current rules in july of 2026, four months

before the midterms. >> that is an important point, people putting their names on their criticisms of their own party to "the new york times." >> look, i want to say something about what they are talking about in terms of doing the opposite of what trump is doing. trump is winning, so that's why they lose. it's just simple math. if they are going to do the opposite of what is winning right now -- not just in the polls and all of that, but just when you take a look at the border, from one example, to go from thousands of people going around the checkpoints, getting around detection services. all of that at the border to a couple of hundred a day, and now, even below that. that is a deliverable. that is a box checked. so what would you do marie open it and lose again? they are not trying to solve the problems on the one hand that they created. from a country that's growing

more. >> to your point, they blame it misogyny and on losing the election and then put a white old guy in charge of the dnc. they learned nothing on the outside and on the inside. the reality is the deficit became really big. president trump shifted the electorate because of the values and ideals that he stuck forward to reflect american values, basic ones, which is safety and economic thriving and autonomy and independence. the deficit became really great because the left wing liberal talking points that skewed the whole democratic so far extreme. that's where they lost those donors. you know better than my, but so many of the donors that propelled president trump so much for there were small. they were working-class americans. i will never forget one of the quotes from someone in pennsylvania, voted for clinton and then biden, and this time around voted for president trump because he said "clearly it's not working, and i need a change. it's about my bank account.

the daily existence." for all of those reasons, people are putting their name to the notion that what was working before actually never did, and what is working now immediately to the feet running. we have seen results right away. >> there were two categories. there were those currying favor and donors who outright shifted their support to trump. that doesn't happen in politics, but it does today. more "outnumbered" in a moment. ? i'm thinking... (speaking to self) about our honeymoon. what about africa? safari? hot air balloon ride? swim with elephants? wait, can we afford a safari? great question. like everything, it takes a little planning. or, put the money towards a down-payment... ...on a ranch ...in montana ...with horses let's take a look at those scenarios. j.p. morgan wealth management has advisors in chase branches and tools, like wealth plan to keep you on track. when you're planning for it all... the answer is j.p. morgan wealth management.

committee to "oversee the process of designing a new flag. a design that better reflects the diversity and values of washingtonians." so they are calling it bill 1938. and the blogger says the existing flag is "deeply and historically bad. why would that be? >> they said washington has -- limited historical connection to the state itself. >> interesting name. [laughter] >> i looked at the flag before i came on. it could probably use an upgrade. voters are going to have to prove whatever they come up with, so we will see what they come up with. that's actually better than i saw. >> let's show this so the audience can see it. >> it's a nice evergreen. >> what are your thoughts? >> if you are focused on the state of washington on redoing a flag, and you are not worried about the homelessness situation, places like seattle, the open air drug use in places like seattle, and actually

taking care of the citizens of your state, this is where you want to spend the time, energy, resources, i feel like maybe you missed the mark. the state of washington is clearly named after george washington, first president of the united states. anyone who finds that offensive has much bigger problems. >> we often get into this renaming, redefining, with the left. what do you think of this? >> this was in vogue in 2020 because they were attacking statues and vandalizing them. christopher columbus, thomas jefferson. >> we were locked in our houses with nothing else to do. >> they even went after gandhi. who goes after gandhi? [laughter] the left try to. we are over this. 2024, branden johnson out of chicago, the mayor tried to take on a statue of george washington. he had to backpedal on that. we are pass this moment. i am not surprised, a lot of ill-fated ideas come out of washington, like the c.h.o.p. zone where a 19 row lost his life, or the autonomous zone free of cops. how did that work out? speak of the washington is the

speak -- >> the problem with washington is the seattle city council is incompetent -- this is all coming from a tiny group of people in olympia speaking for the rest of the state, which has zero care about this. the biggest issue i see with this flag is that it is university of oregon colors instead of washington. it should be purple and gold. [laughter] bottom line, the irony to me is washington's history is based on the independent logger, the skin and even, and also these tribes, so none of what they're talking about, these dem libs crying about diversity, equity, and inclusion, none of that has to do with the real history in washington. >> i'm with you guys. i think it is -- on the couch. >> we will see what happens. >> i drive across the george washington bridge every day, he doesn't have a sign reflect -- hope you know what it is. coming up, we are so excited that lara trump has a new show
