hours before she went into labor, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. the good news is that if she hadn't been pregnant, she would have never have known and she's catching the cancer very early at a stage zero. while she's away on maternity leave, she's going to go through and get treatment and get the cancer out and she's going to be back on this show want couple months, i would hope. so we all wish her well. we miss kat. i'm sure she's doing great. she's a tough bastard. it's true. thanks, mike. emily, charlie. our studio audience. i'm greg gutfeld. love you, america. >> trace: good evening. i'm trace gallagher. it's 11:00 p.m. on the east coast. 8:00 in los angeles. this is america's late news.

"fox news @ night." breaking tonight, attorney general pam bondi announcing tonight that jeffery epstein files should be released tomorrow. including as bondi, a lot of flight logs and a lot of information. plus, elon musk finally addressing his controversial what did you do last week e-mail. >> i think the e-mail is best interpreted as a performance review. it was a pulse check review. do you have a pulse? >> trace: how does the d.c. swamp feel about that pulse check? >> you think it's >> >> why? >> [bleep]. >> trace: more from jillian and the doge plus. and the president talking about his gold card visa. foreigners can apply to become lawful residents. >> 200,000 of these gold green

cards is $1 trillion to pay down our debt. >> >> trace: kevin corke is live in d.c. with more on the cabinet meeting and the controversial gold cards. >> evening to you. while resisting every impulse in my body not to say $5 million referencing dr. evil in austin powers, i will point this out, trace. if the white house figures about the large number of high network individuals interested in making the u.s. their home, well, if that's true, then i guess selling citizenship in effect might do considerably more than just pour money into the treasury so says the president. >> it's going to be -- sort of a green card plus. and it's a path to citizenship. we're going to call it the gold card. and i think it's going to be very treasured. it will do well. we're going to start selling in about two weeks hopefully.

>> meantime, doge creator, elon musk defended today last week's productivity e-mail. you know, the one he sent all federal employees. he called it more or less a pulse check. are you there? and yes, more than a million federal workers wrote back. >> we're trying to address the enormous deficit. we cannot sustain as a country $2 trillion deficits. if this continues, the country there go bankrupt. >> parentsly another e-mail is on the way. for those of you that missed it, the wide ranging cabinet availability gave the world a rare and i dare say captivating look at the president's team in action. it was very good daytime tv. now, among the other headlines we learned today, the president says ukraine's president zelensky will eventually make his way to the white house probably friday. going to talk about peace talks and solidifying a possible rare

minerals deal. quite a watch. hope you got to see part of it today. >> trace: yeah, i did. thanks, kevin. we appreciate it. let's bring in media strategist, christina and trying to get jason chaffetz up. with elon musk taking center stage, a lot going on. i wanted this up there. it's fascinating. elon musk taking a question about whether federal workers should be fired or not. he gave the following message. >> what is the target number that you're looking to cut total? >> we wish to keep everyone that is doing a job that is essential and doing a job well. but if the job is not essential, or they're not doing it well, they shouldn't be on the public payroll. >> trace: it seems reasonable, christina. seems like this is something that americans voted for and when you look at these poll after polls, americans seem satisfied with what's going on.

democrats hate it. a lot of americans like it. >> it does seem reasonable what he said. a lot of people have said look, yes, americans voted for this. they want to cut the waste, the fraud in our government. there's no doubt it exists. people complaining about this now, we should have addressed this head on years ago. democrats and republicans did not investigate u.s. aid or other government agencies like they should have. my concern with what elon musk is doing is unintended consequences moving forward. trump won by 30 points over kamala harris when it comes to veterans. veterans make up 30% of the work force. 6% of veterans have lost their job. they're a big part of the base and you don't want to alienate that. >> trace: some people worry about that. a big concern. this is actually -- there's unintended consequences but this is working out for a lot of

people and a lot of presidents going back to clinton and al gore and obama, all said they wanted to do the same thing and they could never muster enough energy to put this forward. >> that's the argument on the other side. finally people are seeing action and this is what it takes to get it. >> trace: i wanted this up there. you talked about the new democratic coalition. the new democratic coalition as it goes forward here put -- quoting here, the new dems are at the center of the democratic party's future and will be at the center of moving our nation forward. then it goes on to say the three pillars are economic growth, lowering costs, work, wages and wealth, health and safety communities, strong national security and defense. this is the new democratic clearly these are people moving towards the center, a little right of center. this sounds christina like a republican plan being kind of picked up by democrats except for the fact that they hit trump every chance they get. >> what a novel idea to listen to the needs of the american people. right?

that's what they're trying to do. listen to what americans are saying that they wanted in the past election. what happened with the democratic party and we've talked about this ad nauseam, they have lost their way. they have gone left of left. so the democratic party that we see today is hard to recognize. what they're trying to go back to is a j.f.k. era democrat, which was really bound by common sense, which is not so common anymore. so i hope that this does move forward, because frankly, a strong democracy relies on a strong democratic and republican party to have accountability. the problem with this is, they came out punching it at president trump and i think that's not how you're going to create union. unity going forward. >> trace: common sense is coming up. it's coming up. so jason chaffetz, i want to play this sound bite. this is president trump talking about the gold cards. watch. >> these companies can go and buy a gold card. they can use it as a matter of

recruitment. at the same time, the company is using that money to pay down debt. we're going to pay down a lot of debt with that. >> 200,000 of these gold green cards is $1 trillion to pay down our debt. >> trace: gold card, jason. $5 million a pop. good idea or bad idea? >> it's a good idea. there's a saying out there. nobody wash as rental car. the idea being that nobody goes out and if they don't have anything invested in it, they don't care for it. they don't take care of it. if you're willing to invest money and spend time and effort and do those things in the united states, then that's going to attract some people that are wealthy, they're going to create jobs and they're also going to have a vested interest in the safety security in the future of the united states of america. it's a brilliant idea. >> trace: i wanted your take,

jason, on the pam bondi thing. she says the jeffrey epstein files could be released tomorrow. she had this to say. i'll get a quick response from you. >> there are well over -- this will make you sick -- 200 victims, 200. i think tomorrow, jesse, breaking news right now, you're going to see some epstein information being released. >> trace: your take on this. should they lay it out there, jason? >> yeah, there's a vested interest by the american people. donald trump and pam bondi will put that out there. a lot of people will have a lot of explaining to do. god bless the victims. they should never have had to go through this hell and the people down there will need to explain this to people and probably spouses and others. i look forward to seeing it. >> trace: jason, christina, thanks to you both. with elon musk taking center stage, the president posed a question to his cabinet asking if any of them were unhappy with

his high profile adviser. christina coleman is live with the answer to the question. good evening. >> good evening, trace. a reporter asked this question today during trump's big cabinet meeting. take a listen to the president's response. >> anybody unhappy with elon? if you are, we'll throw him out of here. is anybody unhappy? [applause] >> we have a lot of respect for elon. for the most part, everybody is not only happy, they're thrilled. >> today musk said that he's confident that they can find $1 trillion in savings in the federal government with his efforts the root out waste and fraud. >> the overall goal here with the doge team is to help address the deficit. we cannot sustain a country of

$2 trillion deficits. >> however, some media folks were still not happy with his presence at the meeting. >> elon musk stands up and does this awe shucks routine. i'm just here to help the american people. probably very clear to a lot of folks in the room that he has no idea what he's talking about. >> musk was the dominant force there at the beginning and all the cabinet secretaries were there to in order to do as he tells them to do with their own work force. >> musk is not phased by comments by these. it's clear he has the support of the president as he continues his very important work, trace. >> trace: he does. christina, thank you. well the "fox news @ night" has a common sense question. why is gavin newsome start a podcast? did he resign and now trying his

hand at media? if he's still the governor, shouldn't he be the governor? leave the bill mahre to bill maher? he's the governor of the nationst most populated state where homelessness and crime and the cost of living keep going up. where test scores and budget surplus and quality of life keep going down. where billion dollar projects liked the bullet train keep going nowhere. shouldn't the focus be on his day job? newsome says he will talk with people he disagrees with meaning it will be a long podcast. very long podcast. newsom says we need to change the conversation. which is not surprising. that's what he does best when it comes to making mistakes like the handling of the devastating wild fires. we're told the name of the

podcast is "this is gavin newsome." the titled would be better with a little honesty like this is gavin newsome running for president. let's bring in political commentator, natalie bysner and seattle talk radio host, jason rantz. good to have you both. here's newson about what he's tauping about. >> i'll be talking with you, the listener about the real conversations. what's going on with the cost of eggs. what are the real impacts around tariffs? what power does an executive order really have? what's going on inside of doge. >> trace: makes me laugh that a california podcast by the california governor is tackling national topics like tariffs and trump and you name it. >> you said it. he's trying to run for president. he has no business doing a podcast because he's still the

governor. seems like something you'd do when you are retiring. i think he wants to change the conversation because the conversation is again about recalling him, helmed by mel gibson. i would rather him tackle california issues and do it directly, not talking. he is just not authentic. he's trying to pull off that new media thing. he's not real. he's fake. >> trace: meantime, jason, here's the media going after elon musk at the cabinet meeting. >> this is a dangerous press depa -- precedent. you don't hear from a single cabinet member but you hear from elon musk. >> musk is not a member of the cabinet. unconfirmed. yet he was there. he's seemingly as important as any cabinet member in that room.

>> trace: we should bring up the picture of jill biden at the cabinet meeting where nobody said a word. but now it's a big deal, jason. >> it's really interesting. they complain about elon musk having all of this power. yet he's standing there talking to them, being transparent and yet that also doesn't satisfy them. they want to hear from him but they don't want to hear from him. they want him in certain circumstances but not others. the problem i think for democrats right now is elon musk is popular. what he's doing at least is popular. the larger the spotlight they place on him the worse it is for democrats. nobody can say he's not reasonable. he's not responsible. they're going to listen to that, enjoy it even more. >> trace: it's crazy. here's scott jennings from cnn on trump and transparency. watch. >> the first month of the trump administration, the president took 1,009 questions.

hardly bad behavior. just over 100 for joe biden. the administration revoked the hard passes of 442 journalists. at the time the white house correspondent's association took a noncommittal stance. >> trace: they keep going after these same subjects day in and day out and not acknowledging that a lot of this stuff is working. >> trace, they need to get their messaging straight. is he a dictator as we've been hearing or is president musk. they don't seem to go together. the press secretary has been very clear that it's a privilege to cover the white house from the press briefing room. not every journalist has that. that's the way it's always been. scott jennings is absolutely right. the biden administration revoked those 440 press passes and the

trump administration gave them back. these so-called journalists don't behave like journalists. it's ironic when they get outraged, they're not treated the way they think they're to be treated. >> trace: meantime, you're near the northern border. tackle the sonny hostin saying this. >> he ran on immigration and he ran on the southern border. we also border canadian -- canada. that's the largest border. but they're not really going in to canada and looking for the canadian people that are kind of jumping back and forth. >> trace: your thoughts. i take it from you to lead us down the path here, jason. >> yeah, tv's dumbest later is being dumb on tv. that's what she does. i have no clue what in god's name she's talking about. she does understand the fact that we're talking about tariffs with canada as well because they're not actually doing enough at the border.

the main focus has been on a the southern border because that's where the people are coming in. that's where the biggest threat, the largest threat is. she can't figure that out is more a reflection of her obsession on race. she thinks by the way all people in canada are white and that's okay for them to come over. apparently there's no nonwhite people in canada. >> trace: yeah. jason, natalie, thanks both. >> thanks. >> i have been cancelled by a man for speaking up for maine girls. cancelled for speaking up in defense of women's sports. women's rights. and the thousands of young women that want to be able to compete on a fair and level playing field. that is the message that the speaker of the house sent tonight. that woke ideology demands that you cancel girls and you cancel

the women speaking up on their behalf. >> so the maine legislature has voted to censure state representative laura libby over her efforts to keep males out of female sports. we had her on the show two nights ago, so we decided to bring her back tonight to game her interest in keeping up the fight. representative libby joins us now. great to have you on the show. from the sound of your social media post, sounds like you're not about to give up. is that a fair assessment? >> that's a fair assessment. thanks for having me back. no, i'm not giving in on this one. >> trace: yeah, it seems to me because you know, you're a fighter, what is the next step for you when you -- for all intents around purposes, they have silenced you because you won't apologize. they have silenced you. what is your next step? >> yeah, it's truly remarkable. a man silencing a woman for speaking up for girls. the next step is to be determined. i don't believe that this censure is constitutional. that's an opinion that has been

expressed by a number of folks on the legal side of things. so we're investigating options in that arena to see what the recourse is, to get my voice back for my constituents. you know, not only is this a silencing of maine girls but also my entire house district that elected me to be their voice and their representation in augusta. so we're looking at a legal remedy for this situation. >> trace: its interesting. riley gaines posted this on x. a female representative in maine lost her ability to vote and speak on the house floor for defending girls and women. no, this did not happen in afghanistan. it happened in america. i mean, the whole concept here is that they're going after you because of a political issue. not because of something you did wrong. >> absolutely. that's the bigger picture here, right? this is about women's rights. women's rights have come so far.

i imagine that you know, the feminists of old are rolling over in their grave to see what's going on in maine these days because they fought so hard for women's rights. you have these girls that are being shoved aside to advance this woke agenda and now me being silenced for standing up for those girls. >> trace: yeah. we have to point out, not a single republican voted to censure. this was a party line vote. it does. it falls on this is nothing but political in your estimation. i have 15 seconds for you. >> yeah, absolutely. a political ploy. frankly the governor and legislative democrats have to double down at this point because they already have. >> trace: yeah, they really have. representative laurel libby, thanks for coming back. best of luck to you. keep us up to date on the fight. thank you. >> thank you. >> trace: coming up, elon musk said the productivity e-mail for federal workers, the five things you did last week was a pulse check. so what is the pulse like for

d.c. residents? "fox news @ night" team was back in the swamp to find out. later in the nightcap, at today's cabinet meeting, musk defended his work with doge. critics are angry that he was allowed in the meeting at all what do you think about doge? is it helpful? government oversight or is it massive government overstep? let us know x and instagram at trace gallagher. we'll read your responses coming up in the nightcap. planning to move? join the 6 million families who discovered a smarter, more flexible way to move, with pods. save up to 20% now for a limited time. whether you're moving across town or across the country. save up to 20% at pods dot com today.

>> trace: we're talking doge in our nation's capitol again tonight. we went out to sample the swamp

to see how they feel about elon musk and his e-mail. she found a little common sense along the way. >> have you ever had a performance review at >> yes. >> yes. absolutely. >> it's coming up. >> has your boss asked what you did last week? >> i'm self-employed. >> you think it's important? >> yeah. definitely. >> what's that? >> elon musk last week asked federal employees to send him five bullet points of things that they did last week. caused a lot of ruckus. made democrats mad. what do you think? >> yeah, you need to ask. >> who is working and who is

not. >> why is this unelected person doing this? >> you think it's a list? >> yes. >> they call and tell, hey, punch in, punch out. the government doesn't care. >> elon musk is [bleep]. >> you guys clearly aren't fans. why? >> because he's a p.o.s. >> why would you not do that? >> they say it takes six minutes. >> he has no experience in government. >> is he a government employee? >> he's an adviser to the president. >> allegedly. >> no advisers are elected. >> correct. i haven't seen any proof that there are people on the payroll that are not coming in to work. >> this is his chance to help determine that. what is wrong with that?

>> because -- what right does he have -- >> the people elected donald trump to do that. >> no, i think the people elected donald trump to decrease price of eggs. >> no one reports to him. he's not the supervisor. >> from elon's perspective, the supervisors are not doing their job well. >> how does he know that? >> he's trying to figure out. >> why do you think people are freaking out about sending a list of what they did last week? >> it's a new message they never heard before. >> because they haven't been working. >> maybe he needs to find out what the government does to make sure that people are doing their work. >> donald trump knows so much about efficiency. >> yeah. >> do the democrats -- are they efficient? >> there is -- there is reason to go and look at efficiency.

>> trace, i think we found common sense here in d.c. >> elon, hire me, baby. take me to mars. >> trace: love a little common sense in the swamp. let's bring in the government accountability institute president and drill down podcast host. here's peter. this is claire mccaskill on msnbc. you know who she's taking a swipe at. >> doge is taking a claw hammer to find change in the couch. that's all it is. they're not even accurate or competent in the way they're doing it. they're not doing it by grade or job classification, they're not doing it by impact on human life and danger to the american people. it's just silly performative crap. >> trace: what's your take, peter? >> yeah, i mean it's ridiculous assessment.

they're going about this in a very systematic way. that may seem strange given the chaos takes playing. what doge is doing is number 1 identifying waste, fraud and abuse. they're also exposing the business model of washington d.c. the way these grants are dolled out. these are not based on any sort of performance metrix. >> trace: i want to put this up. you posted this on x. doge is not just saving dallas, it's undermining the business model which has enriched the political class in washington d.c. that is why there's such pushback. elon musk responded to your x post saying correct, the parasites are thrashing hard. is all the democrat thrashing though influencing this debate, peter? that's the question. >> no, i don't think it is. i think it's an act of desperation. it's because the business model is being undermined. you can look at the usaid money

spent over haiti. over half of the money that was supposed to be spent in haiti was actually spent in the d.c. suburbs because of these consultants that were advising on relief in haiti. you can look at the situation in ukraine, the grants that were dolled out there that benefitted companies that were paying hunter biden, the son of the vice president of the united states. you can look at the green grants that were being passed out. stacy abrams was part of a nonprofit that got a $2 billion grant. that grant came a month after they got their tax status when they were formed and one month after stacy abrams had endorsed joe biden that the democrats should stick with joe biden. a lot of this money is being used as a slush fund for political benefit. that needs to end. it's indefensible. >> trace: lastly, the "boston globe" writes, don't by doge. fraud is everywhere. what is fraudulent here is the trump administration effort to portray doge as well on its way

to identify massive amounts of easily cuttable spending. it isn't. this is political theater meant to produce dramatic headlines and instill false impressions. in actuality, there's no free fiscal lunch. you hear it again. performative crap. it's kind of a theme here, peter. >> yeah, it is. i'm old enough to remember when the democrats talked about waist and fraud in the department of defense. the $9,000 toilet seats. all of which was true, but that applies to all government, not just the pentagon. the doge committee needs to be praised because they are looking at everything. they're looking at the pentagon, looking at hhs. nobody is avoiding detection here. i think they're off to a great start. they need to continue. it's not going to balance the budget but it's going to change the culture in washington d.c., which trace, is absolutely crucial going forward. >> trace: nobody brings that up.

it is. this is across the board. nobody is sacred on this. thanks, peter. as always, thank you. the number of illegals crossing the southern border has dropped dramatically. many migrants are now turning around. here's william la jeunesse. >> if we have to pay for a flight, we pay for it. we don't care. many people are coming back. a lot. >> fabiola rodriguez made it to mexico. now she's turning back. >> i wanted to arrive in the united states to have a better life. i couldn't. >> these migrants from south america are giving up. heading home. michael banks says reverse migration is happening throughout central america, including honduras. >> in the first two weeks of

february, they have witnessed over 500 migrants turning back south. >> seeing images like this, the end of catch and release, ice arrests, checkpoints on the interstate. thousands deported by air. many migrants are leaving mexico by bus. >> we have ashirt and a jacket. it's been here the last two days. >> this area south of san diego last we're was overwhelmed by my gants. today it's empty. >> we've seen a 95 percent decrease in people coming through. >> the pipeline is drying up for now. >> there's no more catch and release. you will be returned. that's spreading like wild fire all over social media. >> the bottom line is, the risk reward ratio is not there for illegal immigrants. there's no free hotels, benefits or work permits. odds of apprehension are high. how long does it last? don't know. right now what the administration is doing is

deterring most migrants. trace? >> trace: william, thank you. to think you didn't need a bill from congress to slow down the border. coming up, the media landscape continuing to evolve in the trump era, including a major change by jeff bezos to the pa paper's opinion section. a lot of reporters are outraged. one of the real house wives of beverly hills joins us live on set next to tell us why she's leaving the democratic party for good. that's next. n life with chronic migraine? 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting 4 hours or more. botox® prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine. in a survey, 91% of users wish they'd started sooner. so why wait? talk to your doctor. botox® effects may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms. alert your doctor right away as trouble swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition.

telling staff that we're going to be writing in support of two pillars, personal liberties and free markets. we'll cover other topics. viewpoints opposing that will be left to be published by others. currents and former employees at the post reacting strongly to the news reportedly including philip bump who posted "what the actual f word" on blue sky around the same word of the announcement. and jeff stein that wrote on x, massive encroachment in the opinion section today. i have not felt encroachment on any journalism. but i will be quitting immediately and letting you know if he interferes. and jeff bezos asked david shipley to lead this chapter but

he chose to leave his post. >> trace: on that note, it's happening again. the state of california has made another democrat leave the party to join the gop. annmarie wiley, great to have you on the show. you're making it clear in this change that the democratic party left you. you did not leave them. >> that is correct, trace. the democratic party left me. i did not leave -- what you just said. >> trace: right. >> i'm canadian. i was a life-long democrat. i voted for joe biden in 2020. everything changed for me this election cycle. i was silent vilified, silenced and cancelled for my opposition to transgender females participating in women's sports. that caused me to, you know, do my own research. look in to what the woke

ideology that causes all of this propaganda. i encovered so many lies. i realized how far away the democratic party has moved from what they used to stand for. it is so hard to align with their ideology now. >> trace: it's interesting. because david harris jr., who was at the black history month celebration with president trump and he had this to say. watch. >> mr. president, it's an honor of a lifetime to support you, to try to wake up as many people to the lies of the democrat party and the nonstop manipulation of the mainstream media. we pray for you and thank you for your service and sacrifice. >> trace: everybody that come on the show that is a former democrat now republican cites the same thing, which is they just eventually got tired of the lies and deception. >> that's what it is. like when you can no longer tolerate not being -- living in a reality, it's like there's no objective truth anymore.

it's really hard to go away from who you are and just live in a world of lies. you know, it just pushes people away from that. david harris, he did a wonderful job at the white house. he's somebody that i look up to. it was a beautiful experience. >> trace: yeah. it's interesting. you say power is aabused to silence, destroy and cancel. they the trifecta. >> absolutely. >> trace: expand on that. >> my issue with transgender women competing in women's sports, words like bigot, trans phobic. those words are hurled at people in order to -- makes people afraid. right? forces people in to silence. people don't want to talk about those issues because they're afraid to be cancelled. that's what will happen to you. we get messages all the time from people and we're wondering why. everybody wonders why.

why do feminists not speak out about this? if you do, you will lose contracts, endorsements. you'll lose your positions of power in whatever area that is. that is something that people don't want. so they force you in to silence so you won't be cancelled. why know now over 80% of the country is not in favor of that happening. but again, it's something that people are forced to be quiet about. >> trace: anna marie, thank you for being here. a big chargers fan. tell your husband hello. thank you. elon musk defending the work for doge. critics are angry that he attended the president's first cabinet meeting. what do you think? is doge hopeful government oversight or massive overstep? let us know, x instagram at trace gallagher. we're back with the nightcap crew, which includes you next.
