look whose here, former deputy press secretary hogan gidley.s going to say he saw that one coming but first this story. >> we will review every penny that has gone out the door. i'll be referring this matter to the inspector general's office and we'll work with the justice department as well. liz: that was trump's epa chief lee zeldin saying he discovered billions of dollars in what is being called corruption. an off-balance sheet slush fund for climate spending that biden white house setup before trump came in. they set it up at a bank but this story is worse. weave got an "evening edit" exclusive. we have uncovered a web of extravagant and massive climate slush fund programs secretly being run on the side started by top democrats and biden and obama aids. a remember of the doge caucus congressman michael rulli will react. please stick with us we're back in two. >> eight entities be receiving all $20 billion and they be distributing all these funds without epa knowing everything that we need to to do our job to provide accountability to congre

liz: thank you, hogan gidley now listen to this.atch. >> i think it's crazy, and we have to solve the efficiency problem. we have to solve the fraud, waste, abuse, all of the things that have gone into government. you take a look at the usaid, the kind of fraud in there. we're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars of money going to places where it shouldn't be going so i don't know if it's kickbacks but look, i ran on this and the people want me to find it and i've had a great help with elon musk whose been terrific. when a president can't look for fraud and waste and abuse we don't have a country. liz: that was president trump on elon musk's doge finding massive waste and corruption. that's saying that voters want this. treasury secretary scott bessent said he personally vetted that doge does not have any access whatsoever to change computer codes affecting federal payments like social security. it's only read-only data. now elon musk is saying they are pointing out the gift and waste to cut in washington. let's welcome the

let's bring in former deputy press secretary to trump hogan gidley. trump is on a role. what do you make of the federal judges seeming to greenlight doge ruling yes, they can work inside federal agencies. trump's knocking out things like dei and an estimated 33,000 public schools. he's saying you'll lose federal funding so looks like judges are moving toward trump here. what do you think? >> it does, because they've ruled in favor of the executive branch acting like the executive branch in the last several presidential cycles. joe biden did things like this all the time, as did barack obama, george hw bush, w bush, et cetera. the fact is, a lot of these things we're talking about now are created to be under the executive branch, so of course he has the ability and the authority to do these things. the problem is a lot of republican presidents didn't do all that much of it. donald trump said wait a minute. all the democrats did this kind of stuff to me. they basically created all of these progressive slush funds with your taxpayer dollars to push things you don't want in

election integrity hogan gidley and fox news contributor richard fowler. guys, i want to begin by sort of unpacking this idea that, listen, some of what's happening now, vis-a-vis doge online and it's reminiscent under president obama and is he trying to make the government more efficient? >> look, i think there's nor efficiency in this government and i think there's members of congress that agree with that and there's been a lot of american people watching today and making the government more efficient and the question is how you make it more efficient. that is where the consternation lies and what we saw happening this week is 300 of the individuals were laid off and they said we didn't mean to lay you off and baning them back. this is moving to fast without doing investigation and asking kevin: sorry, i don't want to smollett yuppies but you see the president arriving at daytona 3500 right there. >> we saw the same thing at veteran affairs and sent the fork in the road e-mail out to skilled doctors and nurses taking care of vets every day and saying, so

. >> dana: hogan gidley, what do you think monday morning. a lot of news today. let's start with the panama canal. >> seems like america is waking up from a four year long nap under the previous administration. donald trump moving quickly on a host of issues and a host of fronts. the panama canal one of those things he talked about during the campaign. people mocked and made fun of him. now we have a competent, strong, secretary of state of state marco rubio making deals and trying to get china out of the mix. so far we've seen control of the panama canal with that communist nation. a lot of the world is concerned about that and america is, too. with the diplomats we have in place working to put the american people first this is a logical step. marco doing incredible stuff down there. looks like a deal is imminent. for us to make that place much better suited to deal with the american people versus communist china. >> bret: what about the control element of it? is that a negotiating point as far as panama controlling it, the u.s. controlling it? is he happy if ch
