jason chaffetz with me this morning.ia's going to call this, they are calling it, chaos and confusion. is trump weeding out the politicize ised bureaucracy? >> yeah. this is a lot of us that that believe we should go to a zero-based budget and justify each and every one of those. if you're going to have a deficit of a trillion dollars, you better darn well get the spending under control. so much of it, 90% roughly of our budget is imagined if story programmatic spending -- mandatory. that includes interest and also the defense department. but if you look at all the grants that are going out the door without people looking at them, it's billions upon billions of dollars. stuart: so pausing that these loans, that's a way of cost cutting. >> it's just saying, hey, let's make sure it's justified. is it part of the mission, and is that money that we should give back to the treasury and just not spend? because congress appropriated it doesn't mean you have to actually spend it, and that's what a donald trump understands. stuar

that was my favorite part. >> trace: jason chaffetz, ashley hayek, thank you.are getting new information tonight and about how official actions left los angeles county woefully unprepared for the disastrous wildfires that killed 25 people and destroyed more than 10,000 homes. christina coleman is live with new information on this. good evening. >> reporter: good evening trace. as crews are getting ground on these fires, we aren't out of the woods just yet due to gusty and dry conditions. crews are working to fully contain the deadly fires that have destroyed thousands of structures including many homes and small businesses. crews are trying to prevent flareups. also flaring up is criticism over how the city prepared. the "los angeles times" reports "as the los angeles fire department faced extraordinary warnings of life-threatening winds, top commanders decided not to assign for emergency deployment roughly 1000 available firefighters and dozens of water carrying engines in advance of the fire that destroyed much of the pacific palisades and continues to burn."

rich lowry and chief of the national review going for jason chaffetz of fox news.ucus and many of them don't really care about the tax cuts, they want, you know, tough spending cuts. many, many others love to cut taxes and they're not that keen on cutting spending and don't seem to have on wall street calling the match book. i just wonder this conference may or may not solve any of that stuff and president trump i think will have to take big leadership position here. >> one thing that is out there and true across all of them is that they are fearful of donald trump. you don't want to be on the wrong side of donald trump and has to pull it together and i was there in congress, not too long ago, you had less than half oturu group of house republicans that were physical conservatives and a group that doesn't want to cut spending and a group that does want to cut spending and a group that doesn't care about the tax policy and then the salt group, the ones that are coming from the northeast that want to increase the threshold on the state and local taxes and then a coup

so, jason chaffetz, joining me this morning. great to have you here, jason. s&p 500's brother says he was radicalized and was even -- the suspect's brother says he was posting about being inspired by isis, so how was he not picked up on the radar, so to speak? how was he missed, do you know? if. >> well, i don't know. director wray at the fbi had foreshadow canned such an attack multiple times, told us that we needed to be worried about it. and so -- and and i respect what the president's saying about ono direct can ties between the two, but these happened within hours of each ore, each served in the military, each served at the same military installation, each rented an electric vehicle, is my understanding of this, each used the same rental company isn't widely known, but it is growing in popularity. finish -- by doing it online. and so there are, evidently, a lot of ties that need to be further exploit plained or certainly d explained or certainly investigated. ashley: yeah. it seems like a very huge coincidence. let's move on, jason. speaker johnson wasse

jason chaffetz with me this morning. politics in california, this is my p they just have to change. there's no other way around it. you can't rebuild and recover under the political leadership. >> i think the governor and the mayor with should both resign. they helped create this problem. they're not going to solve it for the people of langeless. keep -- los angeles. keep many in mind where they put their priorities. it was about the smelt fish so the water wasn't flowing. donald trump pointed this out years in advance of that, and they put all these billions if of dollars to fight homelessness and to go and fight the illegal immigration and support those people, give free health care te budget, and then they wonder why these types of things happen. these types of winds come on a regular basis. not to this level necessarily, but it is a complete, total failure. how water is not if in a fire hydrant is unbelievable. stuart: gross inwe tense. >> yes -- can inwe tense. stuart: the jobs report, 256,000 jobs added in december

jason chaffetz, come on in, please. jason, what do you say? you okay with no strings at all on all those billions going to california politicians? >> absolutely not. i don't trust them at all to deal with this. and there's no way he's going to vote no on this bill. there should be some conditions to deal with the mitigation efforts, the movement of water, other things the that will help solve the problem long term. and i also hi they ought to throw in there that they're going to cooperate with i.c.e. why not do that? they said they won't cooperate with the deportation of the criminal element? they should be doing that as well. and those california democrats when there's billions there for their constituents, they'll vote yes. if. stuart: i just don't see why taxpayers in other states should be forced the hand over literally tens of billions of dollars to an administration in california which has just proved itself incompetent. i think there'll be outrage if they just got hundreds of billions of dollars just chucked at them with no strings. >>

. >> martha: let's bring in jason chaffetz and joe concha. sounds like about half showed up for this conference and they have a very slim margin. how is this looking? >> 48 members who didn't show up. what i learned in congress is it's very much a team sport. it is sort of like being on the cincinnati bengals, bill. it is rah, rah in the locker room. they get on the field and somebody starts their own plays. the best coach in donald trump. when he calls a play you better get in line. just one goes sideways and you can't get there. you have the salt crew. people that want to raise spending, some that want to cut spent. people that want all these special thing. the one thing they're fearful of is donald trump. color me concerned because i don't know that they can all get together. >> bill: trump is singing your same song. he says you have to stick together. kevin mccarthy saying the same thing. >> that concern is justified. this time is a lot different from 2017 as 2025. 2017 donald trump entered with the house and with the senate and his first

also joining us today, lisa boothe, fox news contributor, and jason chaffetz, fox news contributor and former utah congressmen. the president's mass deportation policy appeared to spark a trade war with columbia yesterday, for them to quickly cave after initially rejecting two flights of illegal immigrants. president trump's threats included a travel ban, immediate visa revocations, and ordering 25% tariffs on all goods coming into the u.s. from columbia. that would jump to 50% after one week if they did not comply. so they did. colombian officials put up this statement. "columbia, under the direction of president gustavo petro, has the presidential plane ready to facilitate the return of the compatriots who were to arrin te morning on deportation flights." meanwhile, the first of 1500 u.s. marines and army personnel began arriving at our southern border. their mission: make good on president trump's campaign promise to bring back his effective policy. the coast guard getting involved, intercepting about carrying illegal migrants that was sinking in u.s. waters. the coast guard's alien

i'm jason chaffetz in for sean. tonight, we are at the very end of a busy news week. first, a deadly terrorist attack in new orleans carried out by an apparent isis sympathizer. then a bizarre situation in front of the trump hotel in las vegas where a man set off an explosion in a tesla cybertruck. somehow, after he allegedly shot himself in the head. and in new york, left-wing judge juan merchan now appears hellbent on sentencing president-elect trump days before trump is set to be sworn in. we'll get to that in a moment. but we begin on capitol hill where after a little drama, mike johnson was re-elected speak iser of the house. where he vowed to hit the ground running on president trump's america first agenda. have a look. >> this congress will renounce the status quo and we will listen to the voices of the people. we will act quickly and we will start by defending our nation's borders. that's the number one priority.
