the government says it was for subscriptions to politico pro. well, what's politico pro?t's supposed to give you inside scoops or exclusive reporting about the federal government. it's been around since 2010 but all of a sudden, in 2021, the biden administration starts buying hundreds of politico pro subscriptions. and a subscription runs anywhere from 10,000 to $75,000 a year. those are like top tier country club dues. for $75,000, this exclusive reporting must be pretty good, right? now, no one ever read in politico pro that biden was brain dead. now, if i'm going to pay 75 grand for journalism, i want to know whose cook was in the whitehouse. politico pro isn't even for people in government. it's for lobbyists. you pay 75 grand a year for the name and e-mail address of a regulator at the fda. so you can e-mail him, wine him and dine him and then grease the rags for pfizer or craft or whoever your client is. you find out when the farm bill is about to pass so you can send your lobbyists into the back room and write the bill. it's not for people in the government. what d

giving money to politico. politico makes the point that some government agencies bought news subscriptions. this was then purchasing a subscription to read about what politico was writing. do you think purchasing news subscriptions is not something government agencies should do? caller: politico is not a conservative network. they are a liberal network that is a waste of money. host: do you think there is any new jays and she's -- news agencies the government should buy subscriptions to to stay on top of what they are writing or what those news agencies are saying? caller: i think a conservative network, but i'm not afraid to have democrats express themselves and their viewpoints. newsmax is pretty good. one american news is good. fox is kind of, they have democrats on, but they express their point of view. host: this is gary in westville, illinois. democrat. good morning. caller: yes, i really don't understand how these people can keep saying, like the man before, when they have so many new billionaires buyin

i think i read this in politico. >> ok. >> i am kidding. [laughter] there are doge teams preparing to take on just about every agency, and i can't imagine that the single largest agency by spending and workforce would be immune. look, doge is led by a silicon valley disruptor entrepreneur group. i think there are some genuine. potential complications in terms of conflicts of interest of some of the core players being government contractors, but the question -- >> elon musk has a contract with the pentagon for starlink. >> i'm clear, yeah, so you know, transparency, conflicts, but to be positive about something. there are a lot of legacy platforms that are still being acquired because of the home state congressperson, senator saying you've got to keep buying these. this is a chance to inject a little entrepreneurial urgency in terms of looking at new systems and platforms. it's also a chance for there to be some really ugly deals cut that don't actually serve our national security and the question that we rely on a free and independent media

this is a payoff product because when they started paying "politico," no one at "politico" reported bidenr four years. they tanked the laptop. if you pay all this money, didn't you think you might learn biden was brain-dead? they pay you not to do journalism. and they never even said that this was a conflict. they hid it, jessica. >> dana: jessica, i'm going to have to turn it over to you for some commentary. >> jessica: so, the way that this story was told was that usaid spent $8 million on "politico" pro, but they just at "politico," so that couldn't just be the website we all go on every day to see what they think about this morning's coffee klatch at the bottom of the hill -- i do like that. but that is not true at all. it is $8 million across the entire federal government, i think usaid was 44,000. you know that people are using this to do their work, not just to find out where they can get a good reservation with whatever lobbyist wants, they do have a very -- i get it, expensive, by standard terms, but if you have any of these tools, you know how much they cost. a tool like an mri

giving money to politico.kes the point that some government agencies bought news subscriptions. this was then purchasing a subscription to read about what politico was writing. do you think purchasing news subscriptions is not something government agencies should do? caller: politico is not a conservative network. they are a liberal network that is a waste of money. host: do you think there is any new jays and she's -- news agencies the government should buy subscriptions to to stay on top of what they are writing or what those news agencies are saying? caller: i think a conservative network, but i'm not afraid to have democrats express themselves and their viewpoints. newsmax is pretty good. one american news is good. fox is kind of, they have democrats on, but they express their point of view. host: this is gary in westville, illinois. democrat. good morning. caller: yes, i really don't understand how these people can keep saying, like the man before, when they have so many new billionaires buying the media

i just to want go through this politico story. somehow politico denies everything.re are the rumors copping from? usaid either helped them with subscription money and helped them stay in business, politico, or some estimates say not $8 million but $34 million in change and president trump talked about it today saying they were paying politico to toe the parly line, the democratic party line. >> by the way, it's very much the toe the company line and regime narrative and don't look to far. spreading money around to get narrative and going to get political thing and as crazy as it is going for them and trans comic books and trans operas and going for them and this is insane and this is the fight we want, larry, i love they're running around and continuing to talk about this and people have been waiting for this kind of reform in government and accountability at the federal level and do it now. larry: federal government hasn't been audited since 1940 or something. the fact that liberal democrats and left wing democrats are holding rallies and hanging elon musk in effig

so, the way this story was told was that usaid spent $8 million on "politico " but they just said "politico"o te website that we all go on every what they think about this morning's coffee klatch at the bottom of the hill. - i do like that- . but that is not true at all, $8 million across the entireov federal government, i think usaid was 44,000er. you know that people are using this to do their work, not just to find out where they can get a good reservation with whatever lobbyist, they have a very expensive bystander terms but if you have any of these tools, you know how much they cost. a tool that looks like an mri, why are you making a face?d si >> it's been around since 2010 and all of a sudden. >> [multiple people talking]e 20 >> get over itt . >> [multiple people talking] >> the people voted for this, the absolutelyeopl sought elon m campaigning, but there was new numbers., t thki i was talking about it today, 53ng% claim its a key role in trump's administration. it down a negative -- it down a negative 11 now. >> what is this? 53% oppose elon musk playing a key role? let me ask you so

i want to go through the politico story, somehow, they deny everything.her helped them with subscription money that helps them stay in business or some estimates it was not 8 million b 34 million, president trump talked about it saying they were playing politico to toe the party line, point is, what were they doing getting any money? from usaid. >> millions for subscriptions, it very much of a toe the company line, regime narrative all of the time. during censorship enterprise we uncovered in my lawsuit, missouri versus biden, it is federal agencies working with big tech, spreading money to get their narrative. i think that little bit politico thing as crazy as it is you had mid millions of dollar t to go to sex changes in guatemala, this stuff is insane, i love they are running around talking about this, people have been waiting for this reform in government and accou accountability. larry: federal government has not been audited since 1940 or something. the fact that liberal democrats are holding rallies, i think to be wonderful, it shows you that elon

of politico joining us to talk about the president's use of tariffs. good morning. guest: good morning. host: what does it say about what he wants to do about tariffs? guest: he has a lot of different goals and that makes parsing his moves difficult. it's hard to predict what he's going to do. the most recent round of tariff threats and in the case of china, a 10% new tariff on china, it was related on border security so he's talked about the flow of undocumented immigrants over the border, the flow of drugs, particularly fentanyl, and he's particularly faulted canada and mexico, our borders, but also china because some of the fentanyl shipments come from china. this is separate from some of his other tariff threats that are still coming and so there's a lot of different things he might be doing with tariffs. host: the threats still coming, is that canada and mexico? or other? guest: the canada and mexico tariffs are on the table but on pause for a month for now. he reached agreements with each of those governments, the mexican in terms of future tariffs, he's talke

a conversation with politico. we begin the discussion with linda sanchez and adrian smith on their thoughts on the tariff and trade policies. hello everyone and good morning. i'm the senior trade reporter at politico and privileged to be joined by linda sanchez to talk about the topic that is on everybody's mind these days. ripttive sanchez is the new ranking member of the house ways and means trade committee and first woman to hold that position. since we have a short amount of time and jump into the topics and let's begin with this tariff threat against mexico, china and canada and have been paused by mexico and canada and still in effect in china and china indicated about how it would retaliate. what do you think of president trump's actions generally and how do you think it will impact the country, your state of california? ms. sanchez: i think that the singular term that can best trump's position on trade is chaotic since he has on a whim announced tariffs. it has thrown things into upheaval. and he announcee

quick update on the politico story.i guess they didn't really like what i said wednesday about how the government was spending millions of dollars on politico pro subscriptions. they're complaining that i suggested payments only happened under biden. not what i said. i said they exploded under biden. i even showed a nice little chart. let's see the nice little chart again. like i said wednesday, politico pro launched in 2010 an explosion of subscriptions in 2021 happens to be the same year joe biden took office. politico doesn't really like what i said, but i don't care. it's my opinion and they're entitled to yours, and i'm entitled to mine. the government should not be spending millions of dollars a year to find out what's going on inside the government. and if the government is that big, dark and confusing, then that's the problem. we tried inviting the ceo of politico to come on the show tonight. we can hash it out. she has a first amendment right, just like moi. but she turned me down and i'm hurt. not only am i hu

hay otros políticos también que la respalden a ella como usted lo está haciendo?raje de que se está llevando esto a cabo y de que otros políticos no estén apoyando a cristina. en una declaración, la sheriff sostuvo que la junta de supervisores y los sindicatos están intentando anular la voluntad de 86.000 votantes presionando a los ayuntamientos para que apoyen su esfuerzo de eludir el debido proceso de destitución. la ley exige una petición con las firmas del 17% del electorado. no se trata de una rendición de cuentas. es una maniobra política, sostuvo. los votantes ya comenzaron a tener en sus manos el futuro de la sheriff, pues las papeletas con la medida a que busca darle el poder a la junta de supervisores para destituirla. empezaron a llegar a los buzones de los residentes de san mateo. no creo que estemos hablando de eso en marzo. ah, no hay mucho apoyo para cristina, no entre los políticos, pero hay mucho apoyo entre la comunidad, como comenté. ella fue electa por la comunidad, por el pueblo y el pueblo es el que va a decidir si va a dar el poder a los sup

coming out here to the briefing room i was made aware of the funding to media outlets including "politico" you weigh now has a seat in this room, and i can confirm that the more than 8 million taxpayer dollars that have gone to essentially subsidize subscriptions to "politico", the american taxpayers will no longer be happening. >> trace: isn't it interesting how the money from these types of organizations are always going, to the left? >> it seems like it happens all the time. i think what we have to understand here with what we are seeing in all of those people who are protesting is that those are the ones that up benefiting from stealing our tax dollars. they have been doing this and creating terrorism across the world but more importantly, leaving infrastructure projects sitting here like what happened in springfield, ohio,, all the money that is been wasted has cost lives, we found out, we know different charities that have been helping illegals come over the border which is helping trafficking, women being sexually assaulted, there is blood and there is trauma on the democrats hands

chris, as the politico guy? >> i was going say, i do think there's obviously, if you believe in these things, obviously you have to sort of tell people why these various institutions are important and what they actually mean, so it gets back to your literacy piece. but i also think from the perspective of media, i've seen this just huge backlash, this might be covid, this might be everything sent, but there's just, there's a real distrust not just of these institutions, but the "experts." i think young people in particular, they're like, what is this person -- what does this person really know? why are they the expert? there's so much stock in what these experts are saying. they're seeing some of that, not all of it, some of it, clearly proven wrong in a fairly short period of time, and that i think is undermining a lot of the trust they have, and it's backfiring on the press that is laying so much on these folks who are seen as the authority. >> so how do you think about it from a business strategy, you're help

we at politico are totally bipartisan. in the united states and here in europe, despite what some people might say. we are genuinely committed to bipartisanship and to covering politics through a nonideological lens. we, i think, do a very good job of that almost all the time. with honor works very well with us and we are committed to the same ideas. the military side of it, the fact that all of you have fought to defend democracy and defend freedom and our way of life, i think it is really admirable. something that my ancestors from the united states and new zealand both did in world war i and world war ii. even though i have not fought in any wars, i did live in china for 22 years as a journalist and it felt like i was fighting in the trenches some of the time. i want to ask you as a panel what your reaction was to the speech. it was a momentous speech, new could say, genuinely that the vice president just gave. i'm assuming you all watched it. i would love to hear from each of you a quick reaction. i have heard a lot of

how is the veteran served boy $178,000 spent on politico pro, when if anybody wants to read politicothey can get every day. i'm for efficiency. that 178,000 is going back to where it needs to be and that's in our benefits and healthcare but it goes back to a deeper sense and that is the sense that this is a -- the trump administration brought in to a new perspective what is the fundamental role of government. and our government any part of our positions is to serve the people of the united states. and if we're not doing that in the most efficient, effective way then we're going to trim that out and we're going to make sure it's going to the tax dollars that people send in are going to the right places. maria: and what about job creation for veterans? what can you tell us about the agency working with the private sector? i'm always impressed when i see major banks or corporations saying we've got a va program, we want to hire veterans. they come out of their service with massive discipline, with so many skills that actually can be applied to high paying jobs in business. >> exactly. l

no laptop coverage at politico.fore. and it just if it's not quid pro quo at least sort of smells like it mick. it almost looks like they went. >> just just as a point of fact. and i don't know the i don't know enough about this. the folks who who run politico came out yesterday and said very explicitly that they have never been funded or subsidized by the government in any way whatsoever. so we have to. >> they can still say that. >> but still are. and whether that was a subscription to whether that was a subscription to just a lot of politico pro's, i'm not sure what that was. also, there were a whole bunch of payments made to all sorts of media organizations. >> supposedly nobody pays that much for what cnbc now we're worth that much. >> well, no. no. but there's also, you know, u.s. department of health, u.s. department of health, others that that advertise in in in publications. the army, by the way, advertises in public. i mean, people forget the u.s. government, for better or worse, does have to advertise in

the white house says that it's going to cancel $8 million in politico subscriptions in response to a false right wing conspiracy theory. tell us about this. >> right. this is the best example, i think, in the last 24 hours of that unreality that i'm describing. again, a totally faulty premise here. this right wing conspiracy theory claimed that usaid was secretly bankrolling news websites like politico. the reality is actually boring. the reality is that lots of agencies in the government and lots of lawmakers on capitol hill pay for subscriptions to really high quality, premium politico websites. that's normal. it's been going on for years, but so maga doge internet sleuths treated this like it was a brand new discovery of something really appalling. and as a result, the white house came out and said, hey, we're going to look at this, we're going to cancel this. well, you can't cancel subscriptions. they already paid for years ago. but this is unreality. another example just came up here on your program, $50 million in condoms to gaza, or $50 million in condoms to the taliban. this
