was cnn anderson cooper losing a debate but personally attacking former new hampshire governor chris sununu for basically winning the debate on doge and waste. joining us now, home house ways and means we're so excited and honored to have back on congressman greg stuebe. great to have you on again. when you saw that what was your take when you heard this because by the way we should point out dhs secretary kristi noem did say they clawed back the 59 million bucks that fema spent on hotels for illegal aliens. so what's your take? >> well it's crazy to watch the democrats demonize the fact we're taking money away that's being spent on all these atrocious programs and thankfully we have a president whose only been there a few weeks and just in a short period of time is able to identify $59 million going to luxury hotels in new york that's being spent on illegal immigrants when fema and states like my state, you had fema skipping over trump supporters, so i'm just glad we have leaders in place that are actually looking at these things and if they want congressional oversight then let's do it. l

joining me right now is the former republican governor of new hampshire, chris sununu. i'm still going to call you governor. you were governor like since i was born. basically, you've done so many. >> i'm only 50 years old. i'm kidding, i'm kidding. the gray hairs are coming in. >> it's good to see you. thank you for coming in. let's talk about this because executive orders an extraordinary number of executive orders has resulted in generating an extraordinary number of legal challenges against them. and the senator from connecticut, chris murphy, he was on last night, and he said, if the president moves to openly declare publicly, like, openly declare he is going to defy judges orders, he says, then we are in the most serious constitutional crisis in the last 100 years. do you think this is what a constitutional crisis looks like? >> no, no, there's no constitutional crisis here. the the white house has known that all these executive orders would be challenged. and for those who don't know, this is conservatives do it and liberals do it. they judge shop, right. it's no

just earlier in the show, secretary, i had the former republican governor of new hampshire on chris sununu, and he campaigned against donald trump in the in the campaign against donald trump. he was for nikki haley. so he says he doesn't like him, but he now says that this does not worry him at all. he actually applauds elon musk's move going into treasury and going into this payment system. let me play this for you. >> do you know how many people have your social security number right now? >> so you're just saying cool. >> i'm saying i don't like it, but that's the society we live in. i mean, it really is, guys. so many people that you don't know that have no security clearance, have all that information. don't be don't. >> fool yourself. you're just okay with it. >> you're okay with. i don't like it. >> access treasury department information. >> i understand that about a million people have access to my social security number right now. and if you don't think that's the case. america. i'm sorry. it just is. >> what the governor is saying is that what's needed is to overhaul the governmen

also with us, former new hampshire governor chris sununu and cnn political commentator alyssa farah. griffin. alyssa, what did you think of the visual of musk? >> and it was fascinating. i'm still trying to wrap my head around trump kind of sharing the stage with a counterpart. this is someone who likes to be the main character. he's president. he doesn't want to have somebody who's stealing the spotlight from him. but i think there's some strategy on trump's part with the elon musk relationship. he's giving him incredible bandwidth to basically go through the entire federal government and decide what needs to be cut. and there are inevitably going to be an elon kind of admitted this, not just mistakes they have to correct, but things that fall through the cracks once these sweeping changes happen and donald trump is going to be able to blame elon musk when that inevitably happens, a small example is their cbs reporting that since the folding of usaid, about $500 million in food aid is sitting in ports and not being able to get to where it was intended to, that's actually a small thi

well, joining me now, former republican governor from new hampshire, chris sununu, who joins us now. governor, thank you for joining. let me go to this moment because, you know, even some in your own party are starting to question some of these cuts. the principle of downsizing or rightsizing might be what they applaud. but the devil being in the details, do you worry at all that some of these cuts are too deep, too reckless, too shortsighted? >> uh, i think what some folks are bringing up has validity. i think we all want to see it go quickly. there's no doubt about it. they're going fast and hard for for a very specific reason. because, frankly, for 25 years, congress had the ability to find efficiency and fraud and waste, and they refused to do anything. is that why fast and. >> hard, governor? is that why you want to go? i mean, is that the only reason? go quickly, or is that something different? >> no, no, the main reason to go quickly is to send a very clear message that everybody in the federal government is on notice. nobody is supposedly immune. they're not just picking one

gretchen carlson, scott jennings, chris sununu and valencia johnson americans with different perspectives aren't talking to each other, but here they do. good evening. i'm abby phillip in new york. let's get right to what america is talking about. the battle of the branches. tonight we are watching a fight between the president and the courts that could lightly shove the country into a constitutional calamity. >> it's a shame what's happening, mark. it's really a shame. but judges should be ruling. they shouldn't be dictating what you're supposed to be doing. >> judges should be doing exactly that ruling about what is legal and what a president can and cannot do. at least since 1803, and marbury versus madison, which quite literally says it is emphatically the province and the duty of the judicial department to say what the law is. the president, as you heard, doesn't believe that when a decision defies what he believes, the law should be. this is really important, though, because judges do keep telling trump no. and there are some clues that donald trump and his people are saying, don't
