and we see it, especially in the lawfare that is being waged against american and israel at the icc, the icj and elsewhere. the icc is outrageously libeled israel and issued arrest warrants based on utter lies. like america, israel is not subject to the jurisdiction of the icc and does not accept the court's authority. israel commends president trump and his administration for restoring his executive order against the icc and for moving quickly to sanction icc officials. the secretary and i discussed working together to formulate a common strategy to deal with the threat of lawfare and neutralize this threat once and for all. so these are some of the issues we discussed today. believe it or not, there were more many more. we can say that the middle east today has many opportunities, many challenges. and we we think we can realize the opportunities and also meet the challenges. and i have no doubt that working together, america and israel will overcome the challenges and seize the opportunities. i have to say that i'm absolutely confident that under president trump's leadership and wo

we've seen a lot of lawfare 3.0 as i like to call it so far in this administration. most of that is proverb laos. the litigation that we can expect to come on the basis of this executive order is clearly frivolous. the president, all he is doing is ordering federal agencies to comply with that 1996 law that as you mentioned was signed into law by non-other than democrat president bill clinton. so this has federal statutory backing. this executive order is on solid legal grounds. a long time coming. it is a shame that the general public has to be reminded that it is the law of the land that taxpayer dollars are not supposed to be wasted in this fashion. >> shannon: some of this may be also money that's flowing to so-called sanctuary cities or states that do get federal money. the president was clear in the executive order. day one or two he didn't want that money flow to continue. now this executive order spelling out additional language as well. i remember in the years covering the supreme court years ago when arizona came and fought at the supreme court because they

even though it's a different use of lawfare but twisting the law in order to get what they want andpeople of what they voted for. >> well, democrats have the right to go into court and doubt mean it's a good fight. what democrats are doing is walking into a trap here. this supreme court has made it very clear, its view that the president has the right to manage the executive branch under article 2. while the courts may clip trump on lower level civil service rights before terminated and earmark funding can't be rescinded and president trump winning on the cases getting to the supreme court and lower courts were resisting the temporary restraining orders and know the supreme court has that view. and they don't want to be overturned. so this is like the legal result likely to come from this is that the president's hand further strengthen when had it gets to the supreme court. as a political matter, this is like sheep hurdling off a cliff. you're living in an age -- by the democrats i mean. you're living in age of deep skepticism of institutions and what democrats are doing politically

it's lawfare 2.0 or 3.0 whatever the number is up to now. the justice department -- >> harris: i want to get to this, phil. it's a different on this list of legal battles another one. a federal court blocked the trump administration from sending three detained venezuelans to guantanamo bay. the president promised to expand the prison to hold up to 30,000 criminals, violent illegal aliens. new images now show the first plane arrivals there and dhs secretary kristi noem visited that site last week and what she said about who actually is being held there. >> i watched a plane load of people unload at gitmo that were pedophiles, child pornography, drug dealers that these cartels are partnering with the chinese to kill our next generation of americans. that's who we are putting at gitmo. >> harris: so we know about what is happening in gitmo. there has been transparency there. and know there are challenges there. what is your take on it legally? >> well, i think the concern with respect to those individuals going down to guantanamo bay might be s

david: what about lawfare?concerning the department of justice itself, but the fbi is involved in a lot of investigations. we saw how they were acting as a rogue agency, if in particular there was one fbi agent himself who made up stuff in order to get a fisa a warrant. how can we, how can we really stop the fbi or hold the fbi accountable when any of their investigations deal with political figures? >> well, and this is why you want to end that two tiers of of justice and root out the politicization that has taken place in that agent i. and kash patel has said -- agency. and kash patel has a said that he was going to do that, and i have no doubt that he will. it is important to president trump to end those two tiers and to to end that that lawfare. people do not want to see federal government agencies weaponized against political opponents or against their neighbors or even against citizens that are out and about a and speaking on an issue like parents that are concerned about school or pro-lifers that are out

i understand their lawfare does not seem to get as far as they want it, to they could still mess up at's plans. and that is why it is important to get the senate in step with what you are doing with the ways and means committee, is there anyway that you can work together with senate? >> i think that is work itself out, house will pass their bill once think about resolution passes -- once budget resolution passes. and we'll go through the pprocess that house and senate go through, republicans will be should be united, i was surprised, budget resolution passed on republican side. that shows we're here to deliver on president trump's agenda. everyone has different ideas, of what it looks like, but if president said this is what i want, and has a press conference we come together behind that look, getting into weeds and details can be a challenge, 4 p -- you have a lot to work out details ow oon. david: we'll get into numbers a little bit. this ridiculous nothing pat fallon stl that you have to pay for something that increase amount of money we're getting from taxes, 4.5 trillion dollar c

the democrats trying to stop government cuts with more lawfare. 19 democrat state a. g.s now trying to stop elon musk expect department of government efficiency from having access, just having access. all they want to do is look at the treasury department's central payment if system, the bureau of fessing call services. fox news' bryan llenas live from the manhattan federal court many if new york city with the details. hey, bryan. >> reporter: hey, key, good evening. after hearing arguments today, a federal judge here in new york says she will decide at a later date whether or not to grant a preliminary injunction, that means continuing to block elon musk and doge from directly accessing the u.s. treasury department's central payment system. now, it's called the bureau of fiscal service is. this is where9 90% of the government's annual federal payments, that's $5 trillion, is processed. this is how most money is disbursed to federal agencies including social security payments, veterans' benefits, tax refunds and and federal grant funds given the states like medicaid.

this lawfare frankly is part of the reason i believe we won. i truly do. i think it's desperate.f the american people. we will not decimal value fridaying orders we will fight them in court. liz: we've got far left judges trying to block trump's agenda in courts across the country. next um a congressman whose trying to stop what he calls this judicial tyranny. congressman darrel issa is joining us on his new bill to stop activist judges in their tracks. next, we're going to be take that on after the break. please stay with us. >> it's called lay fair. it's called weaponization of justice and its happened at a level nobody has seen before. i defeated deranged jack smith and i guess he's on his way back. it's odd how in an instant things can transform. slipping out of balance into freefall. i'm glad i found stability amidst it all. gold. standing the test of time. check in time is 3:00 it's 2:55. i know. is this what he's doing now? as your host, i have some rules. first, no showers longer than 5 minutes. this isn't a spa. no games. no fun. yes, coach.

lawfare, never heard of that before. unfortunately for them this is something we've been well versed in for four years thanks to what they did to president trump. here is the reality. we are going to continue. we are strong, we keep winning in cases where they get temporary restraining orders. i want to point that out. the only temporary. they investigate and say they have a reason and ability to go in and look at what is going on. doge is a directive from the president. something we campaigned on and are committed to. we're going to continue. it will not stop. keep trying to challenge us. the truth is a funny fact i heard from someone that the first week we were in office, the first week this administration started slashing these ngo funding to democrat bureaucrats, the reason -- the thing they googled the most in d.c. bleach fitting and criminal attorneys. i kid you not. that says it all. they are trying to scrap information and run and hide. unfortunately we follow the money and money never lies. >> harris: the lawfar

lawfare is not working for the democrats. why not? >> bless their hearts, harris, they are having an identity crisis and it is showing. i kind of feel like many of our democrat colleagues are like the song stuck in the middle with you. they've got clowns to the left of them and jokers on their right and they have no idea what to do. it is kind of a little bit sad when you think about the fact they're so committed to hatred to donald trump and elon musk they can't bring themselves to acknowledge the good in rooting out waste, fraud, abuse and corruption. despite the fact that obama and clinton and democrat presidents have talked about this. they never executed on it but they talked about this. now it is actually underway. so i think they will have to do some real soul searching. the american people have demanded this from all walks of life. i will tell you last night my husband and i had a town hall. our eight year wedding anniversary. so to celebrate we went through the drive-threw and when we went through the manager of that fast foo

the left's lawfare against president trump and doge took multiple hits this week. four separate judges handed legal wins to doge. a judge also denied a union-led effort to stop the administration's firings of federal workers. former assistant district attorney phil holloway with this take on the focus yesterday. >> now we see with all of this lawfare 3.0 federal district courts, which by the way are not even mentioned by the constitution. they are created by congress. these executive -- the executive functions of the presidency are being usurped and invaded by federal courts. if they step outside the constitution courts have the judicial power. but it doesn't mean judges get to sub stae tithe toot their judgment for that of the president because they do not like his policies. >> sandra: at any moment now we could be hearing from the supreme court on whether or not trump has the power to fire the head of the country's watchdog agency. he claims his position is legally shielded from termination without cause. those are just a few of the examples of the 80 legal chall

how soon before supreme court gets some of these lawfare-like cases?01. that's exactly right, one of the contributors to inflation is government deficit spending and, obviously, trump is trying to cut it. congress can't help itself. it's drunk on a bender. they can't stop spending, they can't restrain themselves. so hopefully these cuts are going to go into effect and we're going to see a decision, i think the fastest the supreme court could get to it would be this summer, early fall. but just seeing a president pushing forward with this doge committee trying to get spending down, that might if convince people in the country that we have a government that's taking inflation seriously now. david: let's hope. john, we add a some breaking news, we have to to cut it short. good to see you, my friend. thank you very much. >>> now this, president trump is vowing to throw away more of joe biden's energy regulations. ashley, which ones are we talking about? ashley: yeah. a host of consumer products that joe biden wanted the make more efficient. but it's intere

sassoon and scotten are not two progressives using lawfare against donald trump. sassoon was put in her recent position by the trump team. she's a federalist society member. she's a former clerk for justice antonin scalia. scott, and similarly has conservative credentials. he clerked for both chief justice john roberts and judge brett kavanaugh before kavanaugh joined the supreme court. scott is a harvard law grad who served three combat tours in iraq as a special forces officer and earned two bronze stars. and both sassoon and scotten are not going quietly into the night. in a letter to pam bondi, sassoon wrote this such an exchange with adams violates common sense beliefs in the equal administration of justice. the justice manual and the rules of professional conduct. she underscored the quid pro quo nature of the request to drop the charges against adams, writing i attended a meeting on january 31st, 2025, with mr. beauvais, adams's counsel, and members of my office. adams attorneys repeatedly urged what amounted to a quid pro quo, indicating that adams would b

>> what we have to understand in a large degree, this is lawfare 2.0 against trump, this is the onlyats have against lawful executive orders and executive functions. these courts and decisions being made are on dubious legal ground in many respects and executive authority is something courts defer to and many orders incorporate executives authority over their own agencies. they can issue preliminary injunctions, that does not mean they will not lose in the long run. >> todd: take a look at the buy-outs kicks. trump offered buy-outs and they voluntarily took buy-outs getsing paid eight months to not work. they are not being forced. yet, a court steps in. where is harm for a court to step in all litigation in our system of juris prudence, katie? >> the president is in charge of executive branch and has authority over federal employees and court should be deferring to security authority when looking at whether a president overstepped their bounds. that is dubious reasoning andide logical and pretty political. administration will keep fighting and have good grounds. >> todd: senator mike

this goes to show lawfare will not ultimately prevail over the will and 77 million americans who supportedis priorities." the buyout specifically is a key part of president trump and doge's e effort to read f reach. 75,000 federal employees who already accepted by out session represents about 3% of the federal workforce. this is a big win, jason and short of what the administration was wanting 5-10% to take the buyout. they are ultimately looking according to reporting 30% to 40% reduction in each agency which i love to hear but a small step and absolutely the right direction. >> jason: it is. look, i feel for the people who have to get a new job that they should have seen this a long time ago. at the did this is severance. they could have given two week notice but this is very generous to have the taxpayers have to pay for eight months so they can go out and get a new job. this is the right direction. we are $36 trillion in debt and we pay $3 billion a day of interest more than we do want the national defense. we have to cut back. we cannot be all things to all people. plainly it is happe

the results of their lawfare have been mixed. nevertheless, democrats are slowly getting back on their feet but are they really convincing anyone? >> why does our own government want to turn against our own people if this [bleep] scandal is a disgrace in 2025. a rally a day keeps the fascists away. meanwhile, trump is in a great mood much to the horror of the war hawks. is he pursuing peace in ukraine. >> we can make a deal in russia to stop the killing of potentially millions of people. soldiers being wind out on both sides. wiped out. it's horrible. >> and today was even sweeter when his nominee to head the fbi kash patel not only won confirmation but all of trump's cabinet nominees have been confirmed. now, it's not just the g.o.p. that's more united and changing. the country seems to be changing, too. donald trump and the republican party has changed the electorate. take a look at party. democrat vs. republican. you go back to 2017, five points more the electorate was democrats than republicans. look at what has happened in f

the lawfare is on the other foot. they rationalized all these lawsuits against trump when the democrats were in power. even if the court was not the proper forum for bringing the kinds of complaints that they had about trump. they said we have to do something. that was what they did. and here they are doing it yet again. but the courts don't have any more power to run the executive branch than the congress does or anyone else does. the president runs the executive branch. and if he has designated elon musk as a special government employee, doge actually, whether they like it or not they keep calling it the so-called doge. it is a component of the executive office of the president in the white house. it is actually a refinement of something that was started under president obama. and they have the authority from the only person they need it from, the president, to do this scrutiny. the scrutiny that needs to be done. >> bill: based on that answer i think i kind of have an idea what you'll say on this. the trump organiz

. >> dana: do you anticipate that the democrats will continue to try this legal lawfare type thing?is not working for them but i'm thinking about the cards that they have to play. one of the only ones they have in order to get attention. >> you are exactly right. we've seen the protests, seen them showing up in various federal buildings. you saw what david spunt showed us. we were on the air when they did it at the department of education. those are the optics they work with. the courts may be their best option. they don't have the legislative or executive branch. they can get delayed. some of these policies there are injunctions and slow down the trump administration even if they feel like they will win on the merits it gums up with works a little bit. probably the best tool democrats have. >> bill: jim jordan is on this weekend. judiciary committee in the house. jim hines, democrat intel committee. what are you going for? >> we'll talk about foreign policy. the minutia of what we cover watching the u.s./ukraine relationship and trying to parse everything we get with a statement fr

consider the timing of all of the spirit of the new democrats will use lawfare to try to crash the agencyeam are looking at government efficiency, doge! it is just not a noun but a verb. till can doge buddy somebody now. he is looking for money misspent in our tax dollars periods we are looking forward to that.

we're used to and frankly thank them for training us for the last four years in dealing with their lawfare. we're winning on them but you brought up little john. people seem to forget that. i remember i was at the court in d.c. when he was getting his sentencing and i made a statement about that and how unfair and ridiculous it is to target people based on their politics and littlejohn was somebody who worked at the i.r.s., targeted president trump's tax returns. trump organization, and then released them. there was a series of other billionaires and wealthy individuals that he went after as well. that was outlandish and barely covered. i appreciate you bringing that up. look, we're doing exactly what america mandated november 5th. cleaning up waste, fraud and protecting you, the american people, and our money. we pay a lot of taxes. we need that money to be spent wisely. so the fact that we're being stopped by people who are elon musk, donald trump billionaires who know how to run businesses is insane to me. i would love for them to come in and help me make billions or safe billions of do

they don't like lawfare and these charges were rubbish, bogus charges.n, the big guy, there were no charges filed against him from taking money from china. >> what happened to innocent until proven guilty? that's the fundamental issue we're missing today. charges were dropped by the doj and it was dismissed without prejudice which means the doj could re-evaluate and bring charges back. why is kathy hochul trying to eliminate him? we saw this countless times in america. americans aren't going to stand for it. innocent until proven guilty. we saw it under president trump and he prevailed. i think mayor adams will do the same thing. maria: my next guest is leading the push to make u.s. military bases in eastern europe permanent to deter america's adversaries like russia and china. pat fallon is here with more on that. you're watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business. we'll be right back. morikawa on 18. he is really boxed in here. not a good spot. off the comcast business van. into the vending area. oh, not the fries! where's the ball? anybody see

they just, they threw everything, lawfare, weaponization -- >>st it's true. >> -- and now i see theyy want a divorce. they want you two to start hating each other. oh, president elon musk, for example. you do know that they're doing that to you. >> oh, i see it all the time. they tried it, then they stopped. they have many different things of hatred. actually, elon called me, he said, you know they're trying to drive us apart. i said, absolutely. no, they aid we have breaking news, donald trump has ceded control of the presidency to elon musk. president musk will be attending a cabinet meeting tonight at 8:00. [laughter] and i say it's just so obvious. they're is so bad at it. i used to think they were good at it. they're actually bad at it, because if they were good at it, i'd never be president. i think nobody, in history has ever gotten more bad publicity than me. i could do the greatest things, i get 9 8% bad publicity. outside of you, a few of your very good things, it's, like, the craziest thing. you know what i have learned, elon? the people are smart. they get it. >> yeah, th

. >> keep in mind the president beat lawfare going after him when he was a candidate.ing to beat this in my opinion. he should take a page out of andrew jackson's playbook. at some point j.d. vance is right when he said hold on you can't have a judge step in when the president is exercising his constitutional authority. imagine in a judge said mr. president, as commander-in-chief, you can't bomb this particular city or this certain area. you can't do that you have to be give the president to be the chief executive. i hope they will continue to let him do that congress needs to make executive orders permanent. back up laws to pass his agenda and quickly do and this stand behind the president. the president is right to say follow the law. the constitution matters too. he can do his job. >> laura: run away judges congress and the supreme court are going to have to do their job. c rges thank you so much. who is leaking the information about these ice raids and what can be done about that? tom homan put everybody on notice. that's next. ♪ narrator: for generations, this all

stuck at the courthouse with the lawfare after there went over to harlem to talk to particularly black voters. some of them eventually, as we know, ended up voting for him. if democrats ignore their own voters, he will go for them. >> i think you are absolutely right. imagine watching your elected officials yelling on tv about what most americans see as basic accountability being asked for from federal agency. i worked in two federal agency in the executive branch. anyone you talk to agree the bureaucracy has too much power and is too difficult to change. i think it is very refreshing to most americans to see someone come into the white house, do what they said they were going to do and actually take some steps to reform this overburdensome process we see in the federal government. if democrats were smart they would look for opportunities to work in musk and other trump officials to find common ground where they can move policies forward that the american people care about. >> harris: let's get to this and i'll come to you, morgan. protest after protest in our nation's capital. many on

we know they are doing the lawfare that's a separate craft. >> i event tree -- i think they are eventgoing to get goose egged on a lot of these decisions that might slow down trump for sure. did you, again, what are they offering people, except a lot of bad chants, a lot of t thee tree at tricks and blaming the messenger with musk? i mean, we have a couple polls out that show that people are pretty, you know, pretty fine with what musk is doing they don't have a problem with that and i don't know if you have any polling on that, too matt, but people seem like they are pretty glad, you know, 42% plurality, favorable opinion of doge that's what the media coverage. matt? >> well, laura, we did a poll with entire vantage our company and robert trafalgar this week it. showed that when you ask the approval rating for what musk is doing and his approval rating, not should he have so much power in the white house, which is how the other pollsters ask it, you find that musk is up by 5 points overall. he is up almost at 80% approval among republicans, whereas last week, you gov and 538 tried to
