musk, elon musk, unelected bureaucrats. i want to ask, if democrats really care about unelected bureaucrats making decisions over their lives where were they when their god, anthony fauci, was forcing vaccine and mask mandates on the american people for four years during the covid crisis? where were they when unelected alejandro mayorkas was facilitating the invasion of our country by illegal aliens that were murdering, raping, and pillaging our people? when -- where were why when the unelected secretary of education cardona targeted schools and people who disagreed with his view of the radical left transgender ideology? where were they when gary gensler, the former chairman of the sec, also unelected was flawlessly supporting the development of financial markets, particularly in the crypto space by a flawlessly pursuing regulation via enforcement. they were noted -- nowhere to be seen because they don't care because all of those things benefited their side of the aisle at the expense of ours. perhaps that is also why they

does he praise elon musk?his is going to be an interesting and pivotal moment, and then also how democrats respond. i'm learning that some house democrats may not even show up to this meeting. do democrats try and show a show of force for ukraine here? it's going to be notable to see how republicans respond in that room if there's any mention of ukraine as well. >> and i think so much of this for president trump is about that opportunity to be able to say, this is an effort to help you, the american public, because that ultimately is what he will be judged on is, are these actions in washington which may be controversial, they may look chaotic. will they ultimately help americans in terms of their own economic security? that is -- you're right, rachel. that's the opportunity for him to take it if they want to make that case. >> george: there's so much going on here, it's hard to keep up with all of it. one of the things to i want to ask you about is the associated press has been blocked from basically covering

elon musk come here? if you are confident that what he is doing is in the american -- the interest of the american people, why not have him here? i hope that the chair will consider that request. i have great respect for you and i have great respect for your service. but with respect, this is not a time for caution in speaking out. your predecessor -- to court because gerald ford was not willing to comply with the impoundment act. this was not a decision that she made -- moyers spoke out and i want to ask you whether what you think the president is doing in pausing these payments automatically is a violation of the impoundment act. >> yes, we are looking at that issue. we have already sent letters to the administration asking them to explain their legal position to us, and we will be making rulings as to whether or not these issues violated the act or not. >> when will you be making that? >> as soon as we can get the information from the administration. you're following the court case -- court cases as we

is there. >> anything more than elon musk?ue, but i was going to ask you about is what in the system of the federal government? yes, trump is in the white house but can prevent him from doing this stuff. we've seen the courts take steps. is there anything else in kind of the checks and checks within the federal bureaucracy that can prevent him from benefiting so much financially, from getting as much access to people's data as we're seeing? >> yeah, i think absolutely, the courts have to play a central role here, unfortunately. one, you know, our systems do rely on leaders who have the broad public interest in mind. and if they are actually empowering an oligarch to basically derive wealth from the federal government, it is really the courts that can take action. of course, as we look forward to how we, the congress, deals with the government shutdown, i think it's crucial that there are aspects of that. there are protections to ensure that actually, congress still has the power to appropriate. i mean, stepping back this entir

musk.usly used to upend twitter. we see how that turned out, as well as an appetite for political risk and impulsive decision making that he shares with president trump and makes others in the administration deeply uncomfortable. that's the play. so this idea that somehow there's compassion in any of this, especially as expected from these republican members of congress, is ludicrous because the core action is exactly what we're seeing unfold. and to the broader point, which you raised up, you know, you mentioned about folks, you know, being fired. well guess what? don't be afraid. don't i wouldn't fill out a form, period. you know why? because you're going to be fired anyway. how do you get to a million employees, federal employees being let go, right? >> i mean, and. >> the appeals to. >> compassion are tough in this situation, to at least to them, because cruelty is the point here. >> let's keep in mind that. >> that their audience has been simmering in a right wing landscape that is bas

musk.n many moments in that long interview, it went on for about three hours. you know, he was acting almost like he and joe rogan were the only ones in the room. but in reality, he was talking about, you know, first of all, his, as he puts it, all access pass in terms of security clearance and talking very freely about some of the information that he had obtained through his through his access to the government's secrets. another thing that really jumped out at me is just how well he has come to understand the inner workings of the government's computer systems, and he seems to have really found what wires you need to cut within that system to cause maximum damage. that really stood out to me. >> let's talk about the second round of emails being sent to these workers, demanding they list what they did this week. when this happened last week, most of these government agencies told them to ignore it. kash patel, you know, state department, marco rubio, pete hegseth now they're saying they ha

is it time for the house to catch up to what musk is doing or is musk allowed to be running loose despite >> i don't think that musk is necessarily running loose. i think that the american people elected this because trump for months said if he were put into office he would sick elon musk loose on the federal government. and the mentality towards doge has been nothing short of beltway entitlement. if the federal government were a corporation it would have more legitimacy from some of the organizations for a long period of time. when you peel back the layers, you realize it looks more like enron than a better business bureau organization. so much waste, fraud and abuse. i don't think it's beneficial for the american people to have our tax dollars continuously pour into these entities in the federal government that seems to waste it all of the time. griff: the enron analogy is interesting. and i want to play for you, congressman rich mccormick of georgia, republican. you're hearing some actual members of congress on the republican side that are questioning what is happening in doge. here is

musk also just appeared on joe rogan's podcast, a three hour plus interview in which musk claimed hisncy discovered massive fraud, abuse and waste in federal government without any proof or pushback. meanwhile, gop lawmakers back home are facing blowback from their constituents over all these cuts. but trump is sticking by his man, musk. can democrats turn this into a winning issue? >> look, this is the winning issue. democrats should not stand for the status quo or be the grand defenders of waste, fraud and abuse, but they certainly should stand up in opposition to the wealthiest man in the world, giving the president united states $300 million to buy his way into control of the cabinet, buy his way into standing with the president's cabinet, looking like a fool in a t shirt and a hat. same time lying about where the true nature of waste, fraud and abuse is in the government because he's ignoring it. you want to find waste, fraud and abuse. let's look at the tens of billions of dollars that get sent to musk's companies. you want to look at waste fraud. >> musk gets government money.

ktvu an rubin tells us about the bay area demonstration today aimed at elon musk, who is leading thet cutting push. >> when you say power people, power people. >> they're fearful and frustrated by government cuts. today, hundreds of protesters took their message to the streets of palo alto and ultimately right to the doorstep of elon musk's tesla. >> we're not going to stand idly by while these billionaires, like elon musk, come and raid all of the taxpayer coffins. >> they blame elon musk for what they call an attack on essential institutions, and for cuts to federal jobs and services. >> the work work that musk is doing is hurting our country. he's not an elected official. he's not someone that people said we want in that position. >> and so protesters stood in front of tesla's office hoping to be heard. they represented labor unions, immigrant rights groups, faith based organizations, even local politicians. >> we need to make sure that we have representation, both on the dais and on the streets. >> for some, like sharon patterson, this is personal. she fears cuts to the services

they can lie and now they want about d.o.g.e., but musk is multiplying.nt trump signing a el for all agencies to have a representative to oversee all spending and 47 is once again offering his seal of approval. >> we are having great success in slimming down our government. it's been very successful and some took payouts and buyouts and others to cover things. some people are finding we have a lot of people that don't exist that people thought did. >> greg: jesse, this is not surprising, but amazing. god forbid you say go back to africa. that's bad. >> jesse: say it. >> greg: you shouldn't say it. >> jesse: i would never say it. >> greg: neither would i. >> jesse: they keep moving the goal posts. i need to know what's racist and what is not racist. i guess the democrats' immigration policy is to deport elon musk and keep ms-13. liberals look like 16 year old girls here. they love musk because of his cars, but now they hate him because of who he hangs out with. jessica, i have a feeling that when we do colonize mars that musk is not planting a south africa

when doge and elon musk came up.ing for a more considerate approach to the way the trump administration is handling those doge cuts, adding to some of the frustration, republicans have been given a little heads up about doge's moves, nor have they been given any messaging guidance. let's bring in columnist of the washington post, philip bump, his latest piece, which discusses some of these confrontational town halls, is titled the right wing media machine is hitting a wall. phil, it's always good to have you on the show. so let's talk about this moment, which we're seeing really spill out into some of these town hall meetings, frustration of why is this guy we didn't vote for coming in and taking all of our jobs and firing us willy nilly and wielding that chainsaw. how does that factor into what the you call the right wing media machine is doing? >> yeah. >> i think. >> it's. >> important to recognize. >> that those town. >> halls. >> are a rare moment. in which a. >> republican elected official. >> from washington,

howie: and musk media critics feel just as strongly. >> musk seems to want to be the boss, in fact, of the entire country if not the entire world where he can fire whoever he wants and tell everyone what to do. donald trump is running an administration of billionaires where the most powerful person appears to be not the president but the much-richer elon musk. howie: by the way i was a little upset with myself for reading the wrong tease and also by the way, a judge has temporarily blocked some of these mass firings but clay, washington free beacon says that two groups funded by george soros has urged liberals to go to the republican lawmakers town hall meetings but as long as they live in the district, what's wrong with that? >> well people can show up and voice their opinion as much as they possibly want, and what i would, candidly point out here, is trump is on 80% of the public side in most of these issues. do you support more waste and fraud in the federal government? democrats have decided their answer is yes. do you support men pretending to be women, winning women's championshi

and as elon musk and his dodge bros.kers across the country in a bid to save money for the government, lawyers are bringing the battle to the courtroom, and they're fighting back. yesterday, i got the chance to sit down with the executive chair of the state democracy defenders fund, norm eisen, about the lawsuits he's levied at elon musk and doge to protect american workers and the constitution. thanks for joining me. norm eisen, listen, you were just in court this afternoon for a preliminary injunction hearing, as you are representing plaintiffs that are suing to stop elon musk and doge. let our viewers know how it went in court today. >> katie, we think we have a powerful case that elon musk is violating the united states constitution, the appointments clause. which said nobody can act as a principal officer. you can't have significant decision making responsibility in the federal government. more than a cabinet member, unless you're confirmed by congress. cabinet members are confirmed by congress. well, elon musk hold

>> well, they clearly don't get what elon musk is trying to do. the doge caucus in the senate, which i'm on, met with elon musk, and let me tell you, maria, i've got to tell you, it is so refreshing to have somebody who has some business sense and, frankly, common sense asking basic questions about how we run our government operations. it's amazing we're able to get anything done at all with some of the stuff that elon musk and his team have uncovered about how just inefficient our government is. and he and president trump are trying the get that turned around. it's a very, very exciting time. maria: well, i mean, you would imagine that most people when looking to cut bloat or wasteful spending would first look at what a you're spending the money on. >> yeah, absolutely. this is something i did when i was governor of nebraska. we asked basic questions and found a lot of stuff, but compared odd to what elon's finding, it's really stunning. we had one government agency that had 13,000 employees, yet 37,000 software licenses. many of the licenses had

but musk is multiplying. president trump signing an eo, directing all federal agencies to have a representative of doge to oversee all spending. and 47 is once again offering his seal of approval. >> we are having great success in slimming down our government. it's been really very successful and some took pay outs and buyouts and others took other things and some people were finding out don't even exist. we're finding that we have a lot of people that don't exist that people thought that did. >> jesse, this is kind of amazing. not surprising, but amazing. you know, god forbid you say, go back to africa, right? that's bad, that's bad. but you can say. >> go back to africa. >> no you can't. you shouldn't say it. you shouldn't say it. >> i would never say it. >> neither would i. >> they keep moving the goalposts. i need to know what's racist and what's not racist. >> you could say go back to south africa. just one adjective. >> so i guess the democrats immigration policies deport elon musk and keep ms. 13 liber

elon musk's doge is the target of several lawsuits, but musk isn't stopping his work while those challenges work their way through the courts. no, no, no. in fact, federal workers have until midnight tomorrow to respond to yet another doge email asking them what they did last week. joining us now is democratic congresswoman melanie stansbury of new mexico. she is the ranking member on the house doge subcommittee. that's got to be a lot of fun. >> i mean, to say the least. congresswoman, you have you have really been the lead democrat as the ranking member in these doge subcommittee hearings, who have been just calling out the things you say. you notably asked elon musk to come testify in the first hearing. i want to play you in the doge subcommittee hearing on foreign aid. you called out the reordering of international affairs on wednesday. take a listen, folks. >> so today, in this hearing on foreign aid, which the gop has called, you're going to hear. >> all kinds. >> of wild conspiracy theories, accusations and unfounded data. it's designed to confuse and provide cover for donald trump a

i don't trust elon musk on this any more than i trust elon musk. on being concerned about the country or anything beyond his personal ambition. i've been critical of him. i don't understand this decision. i mean, i hear what the administration says about the ap, but i think that the ap and many of these outlets, i get you wanting to bring other outlets, more independent outlets in. i understand that, but the ap serves a role, and i think that the administration is being petty by not allowing the ap to be there. >> ap and reuters, when. reuters was was in there. and by the way, then you end up with questions like we heard with zelenskyy, which is why don't you wear a suit? i mean, so we're leaving out the real reporters and allowing these other ones to come in. what's more troubling to me, though, is the jeff bezos situation, because that, to me is a billionaire bending a knee to trump. he apparently had dinner with him after he made that announcement at the washington post. so getting even more chummier. >> and is this. >> because trump was the one

you raised elon musk, senator.cause he's made some very pointed comments about social security. i referenced it earlier in the broadcast. this was to joe rogan. i'd like you to had are it and get your reaction on the other side. >> social security is the biggest ponzi scheme of all time. people are living way longer than expected, and there are fewer babies being born. so you have more people who are retired and live for a long time and get retirement payments so the future obligation, and however bad the financial situation is right now for the federal government it would be much worse in the future. >> senator, president trump says he's not going to touch social security. elon musk calls it a ponzi scheme. do you agree? >> i think with musk other the wealthiest guy in the world is outrageous. that's a hell of a ponzi scheme when for the last 40 years social security has paid out every nickel to every eligible american, quite a ponzi scheme. what is, in fact, a problem is if we don't make reforms and improve the f

and president trump kind of turned to the room and said, you know, criticise musk in any regard.was...it was crickets. there was total silence. and i thought that was, you know, just a kind of a unique way that you don't see very often in america, that he is very much the boss in the room. and one wonders, you know, behind closed doors, whether some of those discussions didn't become a little more heated too. and, you know, some have instructed employees not to reply to the emails for now, for example. especially when musk is there as not a member of the cabinet, you know. noticeably not a member of the cabinet, even dressed in a t—shirt that said actually, someone mentioned that to me from the republican party. a very formal affair. everyone was there in their suits. little teacup or an espresso cup, as he went through it. a bit, too, that this was, you know, a pathway to citizenship and very much an immigration policy. but the way it was framed in the meeting, at least, was completely economic. that if they sell x amount of these gold cards, they'll get, i think they said at on
