caller: i worked for the department of defense. it has never been more precarious and by over 20 years of working in the federal government. morality is terrible -- morale is terrible, which is the point. the emails we received from some janky server that teenagers working for elon musk put together to try to encourage all federal employees to quit. we are not going to quit. we took an oath to the constitution. the constitution that donald trump does not believe in. and you have not seen anything because the federal workforce cares about america, cares about america, and does not care about vladimir putin or whoever the heck donald trump and elon musk care most about. host: have you been given that buyout option? caller: yes. we received it from what we thought was a phishing email as we found out sent from people who infiltrated the office of personnel management on behalf of elon musk. host: ok, but that is a real offer that you are going to have to decide on, right? caller: it is a real offer, but everyone that i have talked to

, product into what the defense department, the department of energy, spacex, tesla and those companiesve superconductors, chips and the like, and all those are formed from the rare earths that are on our property. it strikes me you're in a really powerful position, for want of a better word, because you could sort of name your price, couldn't you? no—one else has. "don't sell it to them. sell it to us." you could pretty much name whatever price you want, couldn't you? look, um, the interesting thing about mining is other people find... when it does that, all the other explorers go out and find lithium, and it's come back down to $1,000 a tonne. the same thing will happen with rare earths. position. the australian government has never done this before, they gave $1 billion to an australian company the us government under biden had 1.5 billion earmarked the united states. there's two or three up—and—coming ones there. the advantage for us — ours has been drilled. it's relatively cheap to extract. it's relatively... it's very environmentally friendly. a lot of these rare earths are in are

hegseth spoke about diversity programs in the military and border security while addressing defense department employees at the pentagon. this is 15 minutes. >> honorable exit. [applause] wake up every morning to see what is right and good and true and the courage to it. >> the two weeks that i've been here, a solemn reminder of the special nature of what the department of defense does. cnet asked so many in the constitutional duty as well have. one administration needs and another comes in and that can mean a lot of changes to what i am impressed by professionalism of the men and women throughout the ranks who recognize who we will for the american people and the defense of our nation so i want to thank everybody washington everybody here part of that which i have recognized a great deal. i spent a lot of my time in the military. it appears that i am that. [laughter] >> i understand but what i want to bring is a recognition of the men and women the dirt is available every time i speak was on television and people are looking to me, i stepped back about the men and women i serve with all the f

that's simple accounting, and tata has not existed at the defense department. not even doge. we welcome elon musk and doge coming into our department to help us identify additional ways in which we can streamline are processes, fast track acquisitions, cut waste, cut tail to put it to tooth. we know in a world where america's, you know, $37 trillion in debt, resources will not be unlimited. every dollar we can find that isn't being spent wisely is one we can put toward war fighters. so we welcome doge at a dod. we will partner with them, and it's the long overdue. the defense department's got a huge budget, i e -- but it needs to be responsible. maria: president trump told me he'd like to call it a golden spear -- [laughter] i know we that talked iron dome because israel has that. will this spawn a whole new effort to modernize and renew innovation into the u.s. military? what's the plan? >> it's a great question. modernization is an incredibly important part of what we're doing at dod. take our nuclear triad, for example. russia's got a massive nuclear arsenal

for the united states long term. >> i guess the biggest line-items when you talk about the department of defenseare really trying to cut the budget a little bit or bring the numbers down you have to look thea the department of defense, you would have to take on social security, medicare, medicaid, things that the trump administration -- that donald trump himself has said he's not going to touch, but elon musk just today retweeting a congressman saying we have to look at social security. >> a lot, if you follow elon on twitter, a lot of what he's talking about and this is all transparent and open which we should acknowledge, a lot of it is, they believe very strongly from the initial look that there's 10% of the spend is fraud, waste and abuse. >> and usaid is half of 1% of the budget. it's low-hanging fruit and people think foreign aid is terrible. let's get rid of it. that's not deficit reduction. deficit reduction is in the really big programs. >> the uusaid is what they need to transform and clearly the state department is going to have to look at that and figure out how to advance the tion's

the defense department has a huge a budget buddies be responsible. >> this has been fascinating. guy, we will start with you. this initial talker there's been talk president trump is talking about going after the department of education truly thanks they are. this of you really want to save money go to the military-industrial complex. and now, the president they are light come on over, check us out particular books. >> i think the national defense is literally something that is required for the federal government. what's more important than a court existential function of government. but, that being said i think everyone understands that not every dollar is placed correctly or wisely within the pentagon. you have the defense secretary say we agree let's look under the hood. let's try to find some efficiencies and savings in the defense department, i think that's right the pentagon should not be exempt from the overall approach. it strikes me watching some the clips we just play specifically from cory booker, senator booker but he said we are in a crisis but he is the word crisis h

she may be less qualified for this job than pete hegseth was to run the defense department. >> yeah,g the various nominees that are up right now about who's least qualified for their jobs. i still think hegseth wins simply because of the size of the defense department and his inability and inexperience to deal with that. but, gabbard, i mean, i think, you know, one of the things that has been so distressing about about these hearings, and you see it especially with the gabbard hearing, are any of those republican senators really behind closed doors when any of them turn to turn to each other and say, yeah, you know, i'm a little concerned about her views, but she's she's totally qualified. she's an absolutely credible choice. this is another example, i think, of donald trump intentionally choosing people who are unqualified and controversial because he's actually not trying to reform or improve any of these organizations. he's trying to break them. >> except in the case of the defense department and the fbi and particularly dni. people could die. and the danger at dni is that the fol

defense department, where defense secretary pete hegseth is hosting the israeli prime minister, benjaminhu. following the meeting between benjamin netanyahu and president trump onto the day. mr. trump said the u.s. would take over and own the gaza strip and the palestinians living in gaza could be resettled elsewhere. in the last couple of hours, mr. trump told reporters at the white house everybody loves his plan. that is despite a firm rejection of it from western allies and arab countries in the region. not least them inside gaza itself. we will take you to benjamin netanyahu and pete hegseth when they appear, do to make some remarks. here is donald trump who was speaking at the swearing in of pam bondi as attorney general. >> a lot of people are talking about -- everybody loves it, but this is not the right time. we will maybe do something later. this is important and solemn occasion. i don't want to talk about other subjects. >> president trump has not said much more. his secretary of state appears to have clarified or reframed the u.s. position, saying president trump meant residen

should he apply that philosophy toward the defense department? guest: absolutely. i will work with him to do that. we need to increase defense expenditures and i would say in parallel with increasing those defense expenditures we have to change the philosophy by which we are acquiring military technology. we need to institute a principal that if it, as pete hegseth has said, we are going to align capabilities to threats. if the cost of what it takes for our country to reduce the capability exceeds -- produce the capability exceeds what costs our adversaries to produce the threat, we should not acquire capability. that needs to be the driving force behind the revolutionary attack on our defense industrial complex. push these defense contractors into providing low cost solutions. host: you have seen mr. muska and how he has been impacting washington over the last couple days. what is the role of congress in agreeing on these cuts or pushing back on savings? guest: what elon musk is doing is necessary. what he is doing is simply diving into the balance sheet of all the

helicopter that wandered into airspace so it seems, off the top of our heads — or at least that the defense departmenthat, you know, there has been a shake—up is this a political rhetoric? towards diversity and equity programming, which was not really gotten obsessed with it. of how deep and how important these programmes are of what it is. hints at diversity and equity. and i don't know if they've done any kind of a targeted assessment here. of vague suspicions, so it seems pretty haphazard so far. jonathan chait there. new laws aimed at cracking down on the creation of child sexual in hertfordshire last week. a registered sex offender, a man in his 20s, was arrested harm prevention order. electronic devices in the property. it'll be illegal to possess, create or distribute ai border force will get more powers to search suspects, paedophiles can share content or advice will be a specific offence. we are bringing in new laws to outlaw the use of ai models from online predators, will be introduced as part of the crime and policing bill when it comes to parliament. helena wilkinson, bbc news. details of

the main one obviously is the department of defense. so we'll be definitely... ment. to you about, and what those conversations will look like? yeah. of china and russia, to keep the whole of the supply chain of these rare earth minerals. so what the defense department will do, they would introduce us to people like lockheed martin, to raytheon, to boeing, and companies like that that would turn our product tesla and those companies will be using from apple, even meta and all those are formed from the rare earths that are on our property. for want of a better word, because you could sort of name your price, couldn't you? that you've got access to this valuable reserve that no—one else has. "don't sell it to them. sell it to us." look, um, the interesting thing about mining is other people find... eight years ago, no—one really was mining lithium. the same thing will happen with rare earths. we're in a very good position to seek a subsidy. um, for example, rare earths is that important, the australian government has never done this before, they gave in western aus

but nobody can bring assets to bear like the defense department.not able to defend our own country then what is it for. >> lawrence: going to have your men and women there what happens if they get bum-rushed or someone fires on them? >> good question. one of the first ones we countered, right? at some level, rules of engagement. standing order. and really never a question defend itself. fired upon, you will fire back. we are not putting sitting ducks on the border. how much lag time do you anticipate before wall construction gets recommenced. [inaudible] we had funding for 21, 22, 23, and 24. projects halted by the previous administration. >> lawrence: we just had a briefing with the secretary of defense, border patrol as well as the border czar. those here illegally going home. going to secure the border. this country will be a lot safer. >> your two gentlemen's commitment by the end of this four years i know you both. i know the president has confidence in you both, that we will have for the first time in american history, operational control of

dhs and secretary kristi noem, from the board its our and others it will be provided by the defense department because our mission is clear 100% operational control and we are proud to do i do. >> mr. secretary. >> hold on. >> mr. secretary, speaking of ice, what response do you have a for individuals say that some american citizens have also been detained but eventually released a? >> we are not detaining american citizens. and sharing that illegals especially violent criminal illegals are deported from our country as quickly as possible. >> we have exclusive reporting that there are migrants arrested in recent weeks that have been released back in to the interior of the country because there is not enough space and ice facilities were you aware of that and your reaction? >> i'm not aware of that but i will address that. we are looking at 30,000 detention beds in guantanamo bay. making jails available for whoever is being detained i am not aware of that but now you said that i will find out. >> one last thing i want to give a shout out to the commanders in the field who have executed rapidly

hours before the start of black history month -- the defense department declared cultural awareness monthse pentagon dead. defense secretary pete hegseth said celebrations of black history month, women's history month and the like, divide the force and erode camaraderie. he went on to say servicemembers may only attend these celebrations in an unofficial capacity. the guidance is effective immediately. still to come on pbs news weekend, the u.s. may be on the brink of a trade war with its neighbors as trump poss tariffs illumine. and, the mental health challenges plaguing veterinarians. >> this is pbs news weekend from the david m rubenstein studio at weta in washington home of the pbs news hour weeknights on pbs. john: america's biggest trading partners are bracing for sweeping tariffs that president trump is imposing. 25% on imports from canada and mexico and 10% on energy products in canada. tariff threats have been a bargaining chip in trump's effort to get america's neighbors to curb the flow of migrants and drugs into the united states. together, canada, mexico and china account for

this is part of a larger movement with the defense department. st week, defense secretary pete hegseth announced the creation of a task force that would end all dei protocol in the department. still ahead ai continuing to reshape the job market in the bay area. some companies laying off people only to hire others that have ai expertise. we'll explain what that means for you. and believe it or not, we are just about a year away from the winter olympics. we'll take you to italy for a look at the preparations underway, and it will be clear and cold tonight. temperatures in the 40s. tomorrow rain returns, and i'm tracking that weekend forecast d more rain chances next billion dollars in stock market losses, not to mention nearly 3000 jobs. supporters say it's the wave of the future and has already created significant wealth and thousands of new jobs. so is ai the next big thing or the next big threat? let's bring in our business and tech reporter scott budman, who's been following the debate. scott, i literally had this discussion with somebody today,

item in the defense department you didn't like.ne in the army, navy, marines. >> that's right. they're they're using these. you know, most of these are made up, frankly, there is a huge amount of disinformation. and they're using those as a pretext, not just to remove certain programs that they don't like, but to simply destroy. and as elon musk said over the weekend, to put in the woodchipper an entire federal agency, you know, it is clear that this is not about whatever programs they claim that they're finding there is a vendetta at play here, and they are using it to destroy a federal agency that is doing immense amounts of good in the world. >> and doing it illegally. this is created by an act of congress to shut it down. congress would have to pass a bill, get it signed by a president to shut it down. >> that's correct. and that's that's also something that i think elon musk doesn't understand. he had a tweet a few days ago live by executive order, die by executive order. he needs to he needs to read the law. the law makes cle

so what message is this sending to the defense department employees and other citizens? >> well, i think this is part of the war in a sense. on acknowledging that the united states has has race related issues, problems, uh, trying to in a sense, whitewash the realistic situation that there has not been equal hiring across the board for qualified people. and we're raising these special interest months is just, i think, an easy way to send messages that really have something to do with holidays and observances that honor certain groups and otherwise doesn't. it just seems designed to, in a sense, weaponize all of these programs, not all of which have to do with diversity hiring. one quick point i'd like to make. so biden made a very big deal. biden and then judiciary chairman dick durbin on that. they were appointing and confirming the diverse series of judges. so the point is that for some reason, let's just take my state of illinois since 1818, when it was a state, all the judges at all levels in the federal judiciary were basically white men. now, that doesn't mean that

game being played right now to focus solely on china and ignore any accountability for the us department of defense. the national institutes of health is, you know, they're, they're a good playing games. and the game right now is to try it out and go after china on a variety of products. the other aspect to all of this is the collaboration with the pharmaceutical companies who are allowed to go in put out of vaccines, dinner, rituals, corporations. so, you know, this is a combination of, you know, whether we, we have financial fraud as well as the what the position of, of a virus that was intended. i think, to be used him in a, in an office of all operations. it escaped. i, it was, it was in there, i think there was credible evidence to suggest it was an accidental release. but just because it was an accidental release did not mean that they were not do planning to do something pretty nefarious and evil with it. laurie don't since speaking to the program earlier, now let's turn attention to africa and to sit down for at least 54 people have been killed and dozens more injured after a suburban marke

we do warfighting at the department of defense and restore through a laser focus on readiness legitimate atlanta across the spectrum. i was on the phone with the superintendents of the air force and west point, what are we doing, what are we doing to drive those core principles, from e-1 to 0-10. and i know this room is 0-6 and below which is junior, where i come from, 0-6 ain't junior. this is a new role. and i went out to fort police and meant and intentionally said 0-7 and above and # 0-4 and above, move out. i want to hear from the folks on this border mission, what is your mission. are you being utilized. it adds to readiness and doing a real world mission and how does it affect those aspects. i think we have seen it already in the recruiting numbers. we have seen an enthusiasm and excitement from young men and women who want to join the military actively because they are interested in being a part of the finest fighting force that the world has to offer and not doing a lot of other things that divide or distract. it's about readiness and focus. you have seen it from the executive o

or reduce our defense department costs. reporter: is there any frustration of the un-- [indiscernible] -- mr. aguilar: no, look. we're focused on the future here. our job is to build a big coalition that meets the needs of the american public, keeps people safe, lowers costs that everyday americans face. that's what house democrats are focused on. we welcome anyone and everyone to be part of our coalition in order to do that. but we will continue to talk about, house republicans have no strategy. there's no bill on the floor that reduces the costs that americans face. nothing that they have outlined would lower grocery prices, make rents more affordable, housing more affordable. that's not what republicans are doing. that's what the american public wants and so we welcome everyone to be part of our coalition that talks about these issues that people care about. mr. lieu: let me follow-up to what the chairman said. this weekend i went to the grocery store with my wife and there were no eggs on the shelves. so the american pe

and the reason they do that is because the defense department, sadly, but also obviously has to deal with delivering terrible news like that way more than any other element of our government does. and so they very much know how to do it. and they have very strict rules about it. they are irreducibly strict, for example, about that 24 hour rule specifically. so they can be absolutely sure that the next of kin have been notified and have had time to absorb the information before any public announcement is made about the death of a particular service member. so. so that's the rule. hard and fast. no names, no ages, no ranks, nothing for 24 hours. and that's not just for service members killed in combat. it's for any service member killed while in service, whether it's a health incident or an accident or a crime or a tragic plane crash. right? that's the rule. nothing for 24 hours. and it's a rule for good reason. for reasons of, of, of, you know, bare human decency, but also just competence at dealing with something very difficult. nevertheless, pete hegseth today just went to the white

the us armed forces, the government money or the seeing that operations is the us department of defense . the department of defense has annual emissions use as large as the emissions of many countries, so it's as large as portugal or sweden. in 2023, i spoke with medical co director of brown university's costs of wool project in 2019. her team uncovered a startling fact. the us department of defense has a larger annual carbon footprint than most countries on us. to say the us military emissions are $52000000.00 metric tons annually is to say the united states is the single largest energy user. and the us military is therefore the single largest carbon emitter, looking at it as an institution. 30 percent of those emissions are from races across the world and 70 percent or from operations. you calculate us mandatory emissions. it's more than many, many other countries. so it's really if the elephant in the room that has been ignored so far, that's nic buxton author and research show, but the interested in bass transnational institute. that was just a report showing that the ministry spend

one is a funded the research both for a minute age, the state department, usa id and the defense department. all 4 of those agencies, helpful, and this research a perfectly the scientific mastermind behind this research. as a guy named ralph barrick at the university of north carolina and he was very involved in this research i. i think he probably helped create some of the original viral lines, but i can't prove that. but he was very involved. it's incredible testimonies this um former seattle is laurie johnson told r t b u. s. in his view, shifted attention to china to escape. it's only possible accountability for the virus hyper. there was a heavy us involvement in the creation of coven 19 the blame game being played right now to focus solely on china and ignore any accountability for the us department of defense. the national institutes of health is, you know, there are good playing games. and the game right now is to try to go after china on a variety of trucks. the other aspect to all of this is the collaboration with the pharmaceutical companies. so we're allowed to put out of vaccin

one is a funded the research was for a man i, it's the state department usa id and the defense department. all 4 of those agencies, helpful in this research. secondly, the scientific mastermind behind this research has a guy named ralph america at the university of north carolina. and he was very involved in this research i. i think he probably helped create some of the original barrel lines, but i can prove that he was very involved was a good day when we can welcome alive onto the program. laurie johnson, laurie is a former ca on the list on ceo of burg associates. sorry, thank you for your time. and today nobody wants to push this under the carpet. everybody wants to know what happened with cove it, it's sold the world of course. but when you, when you pressure the way the u. s. is doing here, it, it, it doesn't add to it, does it any investigation? it's simply puts, you know, a defense mechanism up front from both sides and nothing comes. all right? so you also have international bodies confirming another law blake theory. what was wrong? so why is washington pushing this to? well, it

i understand that there is savings to be had, especially on the defense department and some of the bloated contracts. and all i'm saying is use transparency. show the american people what you're doing, and then work with congress to actually make any cuts. don't make another update tonight about another major change prompted by the trump administration, the immigration crackdown. what's the status of our immigration courts? our investigative unit dug into the massive backlog that could slow down the president's deportation plans. right now, there are more than 3.5 million pending immigration court cases. it's the biggest backlog in history. cases are taking years to get resolved. 400,000 of those cases are here in california, which is the third largest backlog behind only florida and texas. experts blame covid, increased enforcement at the border and a recent wave of asylum seekers. now, new cases could crush the courts. this concept of mass deportation seems not workable as a matter not just of cost, but a matter of logistics. i find it hard to believe that you could fix this without some

now at the c, i a can, i'm sure it's going to happen at the state department and the defense department. so this is something that federal workers are rallying around because i see the usa id uh activities as an example of what could happen to their agencies as well. yeah . just to point out the hopping implicated as being involved in conflicts the stabilization on risk to run the world. yes. you mentioned it's to monetary norm as well. so how taking all that into account, how would you assess it's legacy and the guys that it has been? it's very embedded. it's very deep. it's a total network that they've had years to develop usa idea has been around for years and years and, and overtime. and this is, this is why c, i a, has used usa id because of their access to the local, local levels and, and in various countries. and remote countries in the says how they can sway them in, and actually caused them to turn, turn against their own governments if they see fit. it's a, it's a, it's a very serious, it's a, takes a lot of work, especially if you're in the clandestine business. and, and i th

and by all accounts, this was not well briefed to officials at the defense department or here at the white house, leaving them scrambling to respond. david? >> david: mary bruce, thank you. >>> we turn now to a deadly plane crash overseas. a u.s. marine and three contractors onboard have been killed. the plane contracted by the pentagon flying an intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance mission when it went down in the philippines. witnesses reportedly saw smoke coming from the plane and an explosion. >>> back here in the u.s. tonight, we have disturbing video showing the attack of a piece during a mass in spokane, washington. police say the suspect charging the altar. here's kayna whitworth. >> reporter: tonight, frightening moments during a mass inside this washington cathedral. a man suddenly standing up and charging the altar, then attacking one of the priests. trying to punch him in the face. >> ah -- it's all right, just calm down. it's all right. it's okay. it's okay. it's all right. >> someone get the security guard. >> i thought it was kind of that situation where the gu

more conversations about that creative solutions to that and as a demand test with leading the defense department here, our prepared to look at all options. as we've said, we've already seen some republican pushed back about the idea of using us money or us troops and gaza, saying that is not put in america 1st. and last, remember the president campaigned on keeping us troops out of wars, especially in the middle east. now, some republican commentator said the president just probably using this as a tactic negotiations, and he does like to be unpredictable for unpredictable. but he also does know the politics of it. and he has to realize that using us troops in the middle east would be very unpopular with many of the people who put them in office, particularly al jazeera. at the pentagon, published to these and garza had condemned drums plan, hundreds of thousands of return to the north in recent days. and despite finding that homes destroyed, they say that the remaining causative not to want every o kelly. these reports though, from kansas city as she's yeah, your part was once a place where chi

quick break and then defense secretary pete hegseth tells me about the need to modernize the departmentg the importance of president trump's iron dome for america. we'll talk about the money going into defense and whether that spawns a whole new big investment in that area. my next guest has more than 30 years in the israeli defense industry, he's worked on israel's iron dome. ari sacher is here. we'll talk about it. you're watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business. don't miss it. ♪ (♪) i don't play for money. before my mom passed, she told me to play big— play for something bigger than myself. now, my ambition is to play so i can help and inspire others. that's why i joined sofi. they help people save, spend, earn, borrow, and invest toward financial independence. so they can realize their ambitions. no matter what they're playing for. sofi. get your money right. my parents worked hard for everything we had. ♪ they taught me the value of a dollar, and how to use it wisely. ♪ those lessons are forever, and today i share them with all our employees. it's why i team up with vang

according to mike bens former state department official, the 2021 defense department document presupposes using us the id to organize on fund riots on stripes. the language really is extraordinary to in order to achieve concessions from governments across the world. don't how wide spread where such practices to oh, this been widespread since the creation of usa, i. d, i mean, look at the name of usa i the united states agency for international development. i was always under the impression that usa id was out there, building a sewage treatment plants and helping countries to the electrical grids or plan the construction of a hospital, for example, or a school. you would think that that would be what, what an agency for international development would be, and that's not it at all here in washington. it was, it was an open secret for a long time. that usa id was just simply an offshoot of the c. i a and was involved in propaganda operations. you heard the clip where robert f kennedy junior just came right out and said, well now everybody knows that that's what usa id does. it's just a propa
