for example, the son of joe biden hunter biden was actually having lean balls through this um, corruption of the ukraine instead. and not only him, but um, also other high ranking um american officials. and um, hopefully this um process ends. this practice is uh will end soon with the end of the bottom administration. and maybe a rough pro, small between um the united states and brochure or wide we have to leave you here now legs and uh, markovic head on the silver obviously do the thank you so much for your insight, right? until the middle is now the spot, the ongoing sci fi between ease, well, then, have mass. the enclave is continuing to come on the idea of strikes. a local media reports that a 10 year old boy was killed in an explosion in the southern city. of rafa the total depth oh for the conflict is now exceeded $47000.00 and that's according to. busy the forward, he's a guy is a base journalist told us palestinians would never abandon the homeland no matter what the future holds. the best and knows will let, must agrees with the drum uh, within the whole they will not agree or wi

investigations related to trump and his and his supporters, but also the investigations of hunter biden and joe biden. and they haven't been threatened with any with any weaponization accusations because of those investigations. >> yeah. the question here is who is weaponizing whom? in other words, evan perez in washington, thank you very much, sara. >> all right. to further discuss some of this, joining me now is cnn senior legal analyst and former assistant u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york. elie honig back again. we have missed you, and we expect to see more of you. so that is my threat. i'm always here for you. okay. let us talk about pam bondi. she's expected to order a review as well. of cases brought against donald trump. state cases? we're talking criminal and civil cases that a jury has decided where he lost. what can she actually do? >> so part. >> of what pam bondi. >> did yesterday is totally normal. >> when she sent out a memo. >> saying. >> here's our new. >> enforcement priorities, we're going to. emphasize immigration. we're going to emphasize human trafficking. >> t

biden bars trump from receiving intelligence briefings, citing erratic behaviour." biden set the precedent in 2021 and joe is in a steep cognitive decline and knowing what he did, leveraging a barisma and hunter's laptop saying that he paid pops all of this money, donald trump made the right decision. we would hate for the classified information end up in his garbage next to his corvette or in a cardboard box and meme the democratic party is in shambles. not long ago they lost the white house and the house and the senate and now they are humiliating themselves in public, daily. with a few hours ago with the cameras rolling, the congressional democrats, look at this, attempted to storm the department of education building in dc. this stunt be was supposed to be a protest against that evil monster who is helping to save you money, elon musk and doge but instead they spent several minutes harassing a poor security guard at the front door of the building. this is your extreme, radical democratic party. take a look. >> we're coming in -- >> members of congress. >> we're coming in. >> don't block the door. we're coming in. >> you're not coming in. >> who are you? >> who are you? >> do you have business here? >> get out of the way. because we pay you for your job. we pay you. this is going down in history. the man who blocked the doors of the department of -- hold it up so they can see you. the department of education. get a good copy of him. let him get recorded in history for what he's doing today. let his children see him. let his children know that he was standing in the way of all children being educated. look them in the eye. c'mon, hold your face up. look at him. let him see you. >> sean: that looked like a threat to me. oh, everybody in the world, look at this individual. take a look. shock, denial, depression and now we can expect four years' of irrational rage. so we are clear, the democrats are embarrassing themselves in a desperate attempt to stop trump and elon musk from protecting your money. auditing the federal government. eliminating massive waste, fraud and abuse. tens, likely hundreds of not millions, billions of your hard-earned tax dollars wasted on foreign countries. we have needs galore in this cup. why aren't-- country. why aren't we helping americans out? why? because they want to spell the gospel of wokism and trans genderrism. and the average american makes $66,000 a year so now the democrats are dead set against any accountability? moments ago president trump responded in mar-a-lago. take a look. >> the democrats lost their minds and they've lost their confidence. they have very little confidence. they are different people. and they look foolish. today they tried to break into the department of education because we want to go and check the books. and maxine watters is a lunatic. they're all lunatics. it's sad to see. they should be happy. they shouldn't be sad. >> sean: look at this man. who are you? get out of my way. is that how you treat security guards? keep in mind the department of education was created by jimmy carter. it's in the that old. it is a -- it's not that old. it is a massive failure. we spent more per capita as an industrialized country thanker" in industrialized country with the worst results. under the department america's education standards have declined. we are failing our children. but apparently democrats care more about government and big spending and spending abroad than results for we the american people. just look at this article from the "washington post," the headline reads "trump 2.0, the most dangerous first two weeks in presidential history." no hyper perboly there. the second term is about curtailing the government's power and reach. i say that's great. i say that he's the most consequential, transformational two weeks in presidential history. how do you see things so differently and juxtapose that. they worship the government like a religion. how is the government doing protecting your towns and your cities with die funding dismantle? they've done a good job protecting your border. how is your educational system in your small town or big city? doing a good job educating your kids? how is the obama care working out? that's right, millions lost they're at least, and their plans and-- doctors and their plans and paying 300% more. they have corruptly abused your hard earned money. the money of the american people. they have stolen money from our children and our grandchildren in the process. and of course many on the left benefited from a pretty extensive gravy train because that's their power base but thank you, elon musk and doge. usaid was totally exposed. we now know the agency was showering left wing organizations worldwide with cold, hard cash. complements of you but you didn't know about it because they weren't transparent and he this hid it from you. now usaid appears to be out of business. today the signage as removed from the building and trump plans to cut the usaid staff by 97% pending a new lawsuit. in a post on x, doge announced that usaid is now unburdened by what has been and buckle up. this is only one agency. this is only the beginning. this is the beginning of the left. and their daily, hourly, minute-by-minute freakout is. elon musk and his team frankly we owe him a debt of gratitude. they're on the case throughout the federal government. for example, doge just announced they found a dozen people receiving social security. okay, that sounds-- oh, but they're 150 years old. the government efficiency at its best in. the past 48 hours thanks to doge the department of health and human services has canceled $182 million in administrative expenses, including $168,000 contract for anthony fauci exhibit at the nih museum. really? you've got to be kidding. doge is auditing the consumer bureau as well as medicare and medicaid with plans to examine the department of education and the pentagon and according to primm they're going through everything. they should turn over every y penny and nickel. if the democrats were smart they would cheer what elon musk is doing at doge. they are returning america to its constitutional orders. what our framers and our founders renovationed. limited government, greater freedom, eliminating waste, fraud and abuse. the republicans have lectured us about this for years and now they have a chance to actually do the job. by the way, it shouldn't be a partisan issue. we should be good stewards of taxpayer money. the democratic party is such a pathetic self-righteous train wreck they're willing to attack anything that donald trump supports whether it's common sense, it doesn't matter. they lost and trump won and now the swamp is getting drained one way or another. here with more, counsel to the president alina habba here. thanks for being here. >> good to be here, thanks. >> sean: pam bondi was on with us last night. whoever it is, donald trump this has been less than three weeks of utter shack, awe and transformation in washington and it has gone at the speed of light. thank god for the country. then you got this freak out. what do you make of it? >> i'm not sure what they're freaking out about, to be honest, sean, i'm sure that we stood at rally after rally and said exactly what we were going to do. we were going to protect taxpayer dollars and help to educate our children in the right way who are undereducated so, maxine, i don't know what you're stepping into but you need to move out of the way. we're going to create doge. we did and doge is working. i have to tell you, i know elon and i'm frustrated by what i'm hearing but the peopleem. >> ing the loud ---- people that are screaming the loudest, sean, are the people pissed off because their money train is ending. we're done now. sorry, chuck, nancy with your stock trades. the show is over. we're looking and we're going to audit and find out what is going on and we're finding a lot. we named them over and over again. the list is extensive. operas for transgender, lgbtq people, teaching people how to use their pronounce in other country, we spent millions of dollars. this is absurd. we're supposed to take care of taxpayer dollars and the last administration did was get rich and waist money and i'm-- waste money and i'm tired of it. i'm grateful for elon musk. if anyone says otherwise i literally advise you to go and speak to him yourself. >> sean: i've got to be honest, you sound mean and selfish that you don't want to spend millions of dollars on a "sesame street" show in iraq. it's mean and selfish not to spend $56 million to boost egyptian tourism. you found selfish when you don't want to spent $40 million to build schools in jordan and $11 million to stop the vietnamese to stop burning brush and dea scholarships in burma and consultant driven esg investments in africa or the fact that you don't want to spend money on electric vehicles in vietnam or dei musical in ireland or a trans gender opera in colombia or a trans gender comic book in peru. you sound extraordinarily selfish to me. >> yes, yes, i'm selfish. so selfish because my needs are america first in line with president trump and elon musk is in line with president trump. by the way, threatic with elon -- this whole rhetoric with elon musk, it's nothing more than helping the country and taking a risk and step away from their fabulous lives who sacrifice for our country saying i'm going to pause to help this great nation be great again and not to have the demise economically and say safety. there's so much i've learned, sean, and i've been honest about everything i've seen. we needed a fix that you've never seen before and i am grateful for the administration is working. >> sean: i'm too. >> every person is working so hard and we're going to fix this nation. promises made, promises kept so anyone who is shocked should watch a couple of rallies from our campaign because we said what we were going to do. the americans mandated it on november 5th in a sweeping mandate and now we're doing. that's by the way what we're supposed to do in a republic. that's how it works. >> sean: you're anything but selfish obviously, i'm being sarcastic. >> i know. >> sean: we're stealing from our children and grandchildren. i'm sorry and to see this money being spent abroad to advance, you know, what is nothing short of the green new deal, dei, trans genderrism, wokism -- >> crt garbage. >> sean: if the democrats want to die on the hill of keeping gang members and cartel members and murderers and rapists and known terrorists in the country, let them die there. if that's their party, i'm okay with that. >> sean, they died november 5th and america gave them a message. your party got a memo that many irk is not happy -- america is not happy with your policy. they don't want what you're standing for. they don't want woke, masks or crt and transitions for children who don't even know what color is their favorite collar. if you want to keep it going, god bless you, in 2028 and to 2012. it's working for us and not them but america is are tired of your whining, enough. >> sean: alena, thank you. this is a great moment for the country. this could be the most consequential -- >> interests. >> sean:-- transformational presidency return to order and that's hour open. here with reaction, contributors jason chaffis and joe contra and the u.s. ambassador to israel nominee, john hick hickeby ih us. for the life of me, governor, i do a lot of research today, and joni ernst was looking for the information and the specifics of the money that was spent, they wouldn't give it to her. it's only because of elon musk and president trump that we know this. what is your reaction to it? i'm angry. >> i just think you're wrong about some things, sean, you said this could be the most consequential president. i think he already has been in three weeks. i've never seen anything like it. i'm going to the emergency room later tonight because i have whiplash from what is happening at the white house and fact that they've taken things that have been sacred cows for a long time. usaid, a pet farm that started by bush and saved millions of lives. if you take a stew pot and put poison in this, you don't say keep serving because there's good stuff at the bottom of the pot. you dump it out, clean the pot and make stew and nothing but stew. that's what trump is doing and it's the most amazing thing i've ever seen in my life. i never thought we could cut through the red tape and the nonsense but when these things are discovered let's let the democrats go and scream at the guy at the door of the department of ed who was barred from buckingham palace because nobody has ever been so stoic. this guy has got a career wherever he wants to go. this is great day in america today. >> you know, jason, you are looking at a congressman for this type of reckless spending. what's so sinister about this is they purposely hid it. they didn't put the specifics of where the money was really going. it was only when elon got into the-- was able to do that deep dive. did we really find out because they knew the american people would be outraged by this but they did it anyway. >> yeah, look at what the democrats are fighting for. they just can't give away the american money fast enough overseas. but what about the $36 trillion we're in debt? we spend almost $3 billion a day just servicing that. that's our interest, our daily interest payment. you want more roads, bridges and infrastructure and all of that? guess what? you're spending $3 billion in trying to pay and service the debt. they start to throw away all of this money you've got to be kidding me. guys like me on the oversight committee, the chair of the oversight committee, they wouldn't give us that information. i fought the usaid for years. they would never cough that up. for maxine waters to show up at the front door and beerate a federal employee i hope that he sues that -- >> sean: she was like take a good look at him, everybody needs to look at him. is she threatening he and his family? >> i think it's a threat. there's a separation of powers. you can't as a congressman go to the judiciary branch and walk around and say where is clarence? i want to check him out. the executive branch can't walk into a congressman's office and say i want to me with the staff. that's not the way it works in this country, maxine waters and the other democrats when think it's funny to berate a guy who has a family and a reputation, he doesn't need to be a national figure. shame on her, she should be censored. >> sean: there's no shame, she said, get in their face and into the store and the shops. joe contra there's a complicit group, the state run media mob, they are faining all of this outrage and they are right there with the democrats and trying to demonize elon musk who has done the country a great service as well as the president. >> in our resistance legacy media, sean, every day is now festivus. every day in "the new york times," msnbc, cbs, everybody in the 2.0 trump era is an airing of grievances. it's a festivus but not for the rest of us. they don't have a message or objectivity in the way they're reporting this stuff. they go after elon musk and character assassinate him but nobody is talking about the stuff that elon musk is finding. that's the story. if you're a journalist, it's such widespread corruption. we all knew it was bad but in the first 19 days what is he findings is overwhelmingly devastating. i love that "washington post" op-ed that you read before, that donald trump is the most damaging president in the first two weeks of his presidency history, he's damaging to the status quo, and the government waste and biological men participating in women's sport and signing the rackin rielly act and 148 democrats in congress opposed. it's unbelievable. this is the position they're taking and voters are screaming for major changes to the way that government does business. all the waste and corruption in daylight. you had a nice list before but one caught my eye, usaid gave more than $300 million to a cement company in gaza owned by hamas which was used to build tunnels for them to house weapons, fighters and eventually hostages including americans. but democracy is what i guess democrats are defending but when they say they're defending democracy they mean they're defending bureaucracy, sean. >> sean: if they want to die die on this hill and want be to the party that protects, you know, illegal immigrants and including cartel members, known terrorists, rapists and murderers and gang members let them be that party. if they want to fight for men to play in women's sports, let them be that party. if they want to be the party that supports all of these american hard-earned tax dollars going abroad for their woke policies and greed new deal let them be that party because they'll never win another election. guys, we appreciate your time on this friday night. >>> when we come back, the radical left having a meltdown over usaid shut down. a whistleblower from that very agency will join us next and expose just how corrupt they really are. that's straight ahead. ♪ ♪ to power your growing economy and for critical minerals crucial to new technologies. we're here, right by your side.

you said that during trump's first term that there were people at the agency that subverted the first trump white house. how did they do that? >> yes, well, i have to say in the first trump administration when i served we were not fully prepared for the level of bureaucrat chicanery that we encountered and it took a lot of time to get the agency staffed. i came in and by the time i got in in 2018 it was to the point that people had forgotten who was in charge. at one meeting i overheard career staff talking about how they were going to hide what the u.s. was doing in syria because they thought president trump would find it objectionable and i reported it up the chain you about the bureaucrats got away with it and got away with far too much. we're seeing now that the trump administration has had four years to think about this and came in and gone in a way that was stunning but he-- very effective because every other way tried to get information has been stopped. >> sean: so you worked there and you became a whistleblower and thought you were doing the right thing. you were explaining that there was corruption and there was politics within the agency, and was supposed to have whistleblower protection laws in this country, is my understanding, and you were not protected. tell us what happened and the current actions you're taking after they did this to you. >> yeah, that's one of the reasons i decided to write a book about this because it's just astonishing how whistleblowers get treated and there are many others besides me, most of whom you'll never hear about. it was just astonishing to me once you report corruption and they come after you there's supposed to be whistleblower protection so i filed a whistleblower complaint with the inspector general thinking they would help me but the inspector general office was in cahoots with the agency leader and they claimed i wasn't a whistleblower, then senator grassley got involved and they did an investigation which was a sham and so then he demanded more information from samantha power who was running the agency but we heard from your previous guest even if you're a highly respected senator they will just tell you they're not gonna give you have the information. so after going through all of that i ended up having to sue the government simply to get them to turn over the supposed evidence that they had used to try and fire me and that's been in court for three years. five years are later i still don't have any resolution to this. >> so were they aware, were you aware that for example we've been scrolling all of this money that was going to promote this very woke agenda, green new deal agenda, dei agenda, transgenderrism agenda, were you aware this was happening back then and when he-- they classified or chronicled how the money was being spent, did they specifically hide how it was really spent? >> that was a common tactic. we had the obama people put in similar kinds of programs and when the trump administration came in one of the themes in the first administration was we're going to promote self-reliance because we don't want these countries receiving aid forever so that's one of our big objectives. so then they would say, well, we've got a gender affirming care program or a climate change program but you now we're gonna say it's a self-reliance program because you can't be self-reliant unless you have transgender rights or climate change. that happened all the time. there were certainly efforts to crack down on it and it resurged openly under the samantha powers rule but you've got a bigger problem, too, that we were less effective in dealing with which is the massive overcharging through overheads and this is something senator ernst has been strong on. the attack on these massive overhead or indirect cost fees and we're just getting around hands around that even on worthwhile programs we were vastly overpaying for these. >> sean: knowing that the average american only makes $66,000 a year on average and they're going to be seeing hundreds of millions on waste, fraud and abuse to foreign countries. why are the democrats calling this a constitutional crisis, how is that brevity them? are they that out of touch with the american people? the american people are paying for this crap. >> i do think they're out of touch with the american people. from the get-go, the bidenn pushed this radical dei agenda and pushed radical transgenderrism and they found even within their own party these turned out to be very unpopular but this is the swamp and you have to remember people who are in the swamp have lost touch with the rest of the country and that's why they don't seem to have a problem continuing in this way. >> sean: dr. moyar, i wish you well in your suit. we should protect whistleblowers like yourself. you tried to warn the american people and we could have saved tens if not hundreds of built of dollars. thank you, sir, i appreciate it. >>> when we come back president trump is expected to become the first sitting president to attend the super bowl this sunday. patrick mahomes, travis kelce, they're excited about it. we'll bring you the latest. we've got reaction from michelle and clay and what's your prediction?
