fraud in the federal government and the wasteful spending in the federal government, led by marjorie taylor greene. the first hearing will be today, so they will be more discussion about specifics as we get past the numbers and dive into the details. host: darrell, ohio, democrat. caller: good morning. i would like to say thank you to professional journalists out there. why are they wanting to increase the national deficit another 4 trillion from 17 to $21 trillion if they are saving so much money? guest: good question. republicans do not want to increase the deficit in this package, they would like it to be neutral. we have heard from chip roy, republican from texas, who said that's his redline and will not support a package if it is not deficit neutral and a lot of republicans would like this to be reducing for the deficit, so how much -- republicans are also saying that because of the tax cuts, there will be growth in the u.s. economy and that will help pay for some tax cuts and other deficit spending. this has to do with dynamic scoring, essentially the way republicans are going to score and j

>> i expect the sub-committee with marjorie taylor greene leading it will do a great job assessing wastenment. the duplication we have is enormous. what it would mean, our structural deficit, when elon musk talks about deficit, he's not talking about national debt. we spend over 2 trillion more than we bring in in tax money every year. if you can cut that by half and take down to 1 trillion dollars, over a 10-year period, you will bend spending down 10 trillion dollars and save money on interest. it means markets will not impose draconian penalty with interest and means economy will get stronger. you'll have greater gdp growth, and if you get that on top of fiscally cutting spending, you have a chance to move yourself over a period of time to having a balanced budget and that is what elon is talking about, structural deficit and that is what doge subcommittee with marjorie taylor greene will do. i am very hopeful we can get something done in that direction. >> carley: cut taxpayer money spent on reheated coffee cups and other items. congresswoman jasmine krcrocket says i anticipate full-

we have a lot to get to in the next hour of the reidout, including chairwoman marjorie taylor greene. let that sink in, leading the first hearing of the doge subcommittee, the only doge thing that actually exists in real life, but which will certainly not delve into elon musk's glaring conflicts of interest and potential self enrichment. and remember the toilet paper crisis of 2020, the last time trump was president, when you couldn't beg, borrow or steal a roll. now, under trump the sequel, we have. the egg crisis of 2025 with soaring prices and lines like this one outside of egg farms. and trump is doing nothing about it. after promising to bring grocery prices down starting on day one. but we begin tonight with more and more signs of the sheer open gangsterism of the current iteration of the us government. we have donald trump's department of justice ordering the corruption case against new york city mayor eric adams to be dismissed, but in a way that keeps him on the hook for future prosecution. if he doesn't play ball and he isn't the only trump ally breathing a sigh of relief, a

this battle for a long time, senator rand paul, senator ron johnson, senator roger marshall, marjorie taylor greene and buddy carter who have all been champions of this even before i came along. i'm very grateful to you for standing strong. thank you very much, president trump. [applause] pres. trump: a lot of secrets that have been maybe kept from us. going to come up with some ways to solve problem ts. i think he's going to go down in the record books. even rand has confidence in him. [applause] mr. kennedy: our plans are radical transparency and returning gold standard science to n.i.h. ending the corruption, ending corporate capture of those agencies and getting rid of people who have conflicts of interest so we can do unimpeded science rather than the kind of product that is coming out of those agencies today. reporter: how do you address concerns ha some americans may have [inaudible] >> mr. kennedy: when people actually hear what i think about vaccines which is commonsense, which is vaccines should be tested, they should be safe, everybody should have informed consent, people are reacting be

i mean, marjorie taylor greene talks about having decorum, about bipartisanship. this is the person that lies more than anybody else in the entire congress. and so if she is going to make a mockery of hearings, i want to make sure that us as democrats are bringing that same level of energy. and, of course, after those comments, we went into exactly what elon musk is trying to do dismantling the department of labor, dismantling the department of education, dismantling all of our consumer protection agencies. and so it's all important, but it's also important to get the attention of the american public and call elon musk out for what he is, and to make people know that marjorie taylor greene is not a serious legislator, and she shouldn't be treated as such. >> axios is reporting also that there is some tension between democratic grassroots groups in congress that it's led to some finger pointing. we're hearing this. i think this is what we hear when we talk to democrats. and just kind of across the board, whether they're lawmakers or they are advocates or they are c

guest: the number one focus of that hearing and the most fascinating for me is marjorie taylor greene. she is trying to transform herself from this right-wing flamethrower, this person was on the outskirts of the party who is now becoming an establishment figure, having the chair of a powerful committee that will be in the spotlight for this first hearing. it is interesting to pay attention to her and from the democratic side, who on that committee -- a lot of these earrings are fought in the media, the social media clips. who has those moments of flair, who has the good back-and-forth's? host: a lot of media outlets do show you clips. you'll be able to watch the entire hearing here on c-span. let's hear from tracy in michigan, line for democrats. good morning. caller: i think this is a very dangerous time for our country and the gentleman that call just recently saying the democratic party should essentially be drowned in the ocean is reprehensible. donald trump is spreading lies and he has demonized half of our country for over five years. people are not aware that usaid performs a

it was just four years ago, carlos, that congresswoman marjorie taylor green was stripped of all her ittee assignments. now she's chairing this subcommittee, greene told punchbowl news. i wouldn't say that i've changed. i would say it's the house that's changed. and they figured out i am a person who takes this seriously because people do, and so does president trump. but but i wonder, as you watch this, is the fact that she is now in a leadership position, kind of a microcosm of how much donald trump has reordered, reinvented washington and congress. >> it says a lot about where the republican party has been and where it has landed. here in 2025. it also reminds us that speaker johnson has 2 or 3 votes that he can afford to lose. so he really has to give everyone kind of what they want and not marginalize anyone. we did see previous speakers like john boehner and others marginalize certain members, punish them for misconduct. that's really difficult to do when you don't have very many votes to spare. but yes, it is also an indication of how populist the republican party has come, a g

the hearing chaired by marjorie taylor greene. punch ball news rights for years after being completely stripped of her committee assignments the georgia republican is spearheading one of the most high-profile subcommittees in congress paid ahead of the hearing, represented of green said they are tired of having hearings where it's a bunch of talking and information comes out and nothing changes. she argues elon musk's idea of the partner government efficiency is the top of republicans in washington. commerce and robert garcia who sits on the panel told punch bowl news he wants democrats to match her energy saying we can go in and expect her to act proper and have to coram. she doesn't work that way. the former fbi agent and other witnesses testifying before the panel today, waiting for the chair to gather the hearing into session. the top democrat on the panel is melanie stansbury of new mexico.

so congressman crockett has a history of exchanging insults with marjorie taylor greene, this is what told us when we asked how she's going to maintain order today. we don't have any sound but keep listening in. we will keep listening in and and bring you the latest headlines from this hearing but we are told this is going to be something to watch as democrats try to battle republicans over doge. david: let's turn to the inflation report. it came in harder than expected, dumping 4.5% in january. much more than 5. 3%, annual inflation rate is 3%. the core rate is at 3.3%, a lot more than 3.1% expected. brian belsky, i have to ask the cause of this. i am thinking a lot of it has to do with all of those billions of dollars the biden administration was pouring out before they left office. am i wrong? >> you are not wrong, thanks for having us. investors have to remember three things. we are looking at yesterday's numbers not going forward. cpi is not the preferred measure but as a data point they look at, pce the key thing and much has been made with respect to the seasonality, cpi usuall

. >> the subcommittee chairwoman marjorie taylor greene, she joins us now with more. i'm very appreciative to elon musk. the smartest guy in the world, one of the richest guys in the world that is volunteering to do this for our country and exposing their reckless spending and abuse of taxpayer dollars. >> i completely agree with you. elon musk is giving our entire country an inside look at the actual fraud, a waste, abuse that's been going on for decades. americans are cheering and cheering. everyone did vote for this. this is exactly what we voted for. this is what we campaigned for and this is what president trump promised to the american people. today in our committee hearing, we were talking about $2.7 trillion that have been basically stolen from the american people through improper payments. this is money that's gone to dead people, criminals, basically criminal gangs in foreign countries through personal identity theft and democrats acted like that. they acted like complete clowns. so i think the democrat party just hasn't figured out who they are but they've

. >> robert garcia embarrassed himself, the chairwoman marjorie taylor greene says she's planning onpr and pbs, texas congressman brandon gill the house subcommittee, good to see you tell us what struck you most what did you learn. >> thank you for having me on there's a big difference between democrats and republicans they came with receipts. this was $2.7 trillion in improper payments from the federal government like agencies like medicare and medicaid, $2.7 trillion this could be the biggest money laundering scheme in american history and you would think figuring out where this money is going would be a bipartisan effort, what we saw yesterday democrats were more interested about elon musk than they were about anything related to fiscal responsibility or accountability we will continue our efforts regardless of what democrats do we have a lot of work to do and this is extremely popular with the american people. maria: did you get answers accountability like nancy pelosi, senator chuck schumer they have been in charge for so many years how is it possible they're not saying appeal w

earlier the subcommittee headed by chairman marjorie taylor greene, her and her staff discovered $2.7 trillion in improper payments to medicare, medicaid, overseas to people who should not have gotten it. some of this room might have missed that press conference. can you elaborate on what the president is thinking at this point. karoline: again, that's another example. there's a very long list of the fraud, waste and abuse that doge is identifying on a daily basis. elon musk also talked about yesterday, social security payments that are going out the door for people who are no longer with us, unfortunately. i would say that is certainly fraud. there's also a lot of contracts they've identified, that just as a hypothetical example, are $1 million but only $500,000 went out the door so where's rest of that cash? that's the thing -- those are the things that doge is working on every single day. and i would just remind everybody in this room, that's what president trump campaigned on doing. he's delivering on a promise that 77 million people elected him to do. james. reporter: thank you v

. >> dana: marjorie taylor greene is the chairperson of that committee. >> bill: byron york with us now. musk is not a politician when he says i will make mistakes. you never hear that from a person in washington. back to musk in the oval office saying this is what the american people voted for. >> you couldn't ask for a stronger mandate from the public. the public voted -- if you have a majority of the public voting for president trump, won the house, won the senate, the people voted for major government reform. that's what people are going to get. they will get what they voted for. a lot of times people that don't get what they voted for. in this presidency they will get what they voted for and that's what democracy is all about. >> bill: you can reflect or talk about the hearing that is forthcoming. there are some democratic lawmakers that have had very abrasive language already against this effort. we will see how they look during this thing. >> you know, i think what you saw in the oval office yesterday was an attempt to regularize what is going on with doge. for three weeks we've

this subcommittee chaired by marjorie taylor green and house republicans is looking into your grandmother's $65 a day. let me be very clear. i think we would all support taxpayer savings, look into money we might needlessly sent to billionaires and big corporations, find a taxpayer savings and send it back to hard-working families. but instead what house republicans the trump/musk and menstruation want to do they want to look into your kids lunch money. your kids teachers salaries and put into your grandparents social security. they went to take that money and give it out in a billionaire tax cuts. they are talkingve about that in committee tomorrow. and budget committee tomorrow. they released their plan. so let me be clear when republicans talk about government efficiency in this congress, they are not looking into billionaires who don't pay their taxes for the not look into billionaires to get rich off government contracts. they are not looking into elon musk iron watchdogs were supposed to keep him accountable but they are looking at cutting your public schools for the going straight fo

doge had their first subcommittee hearing chaired by marjorie taylor greene.ll you heard was yelling and ranting about elon musk and the billionaire bros and nothing about what he was cutting. and nothing about what the ultimate objective was to get rid of fraud and abuse in our system and try to get the deficit down, which is taking more from our income and our country than any other exbenefit temperature, including defense. but today is going to be the house foreign affairs committee, to hold hearings on the usaid. and they're going to have to justify what they are doing spending it on. the 600 to 10,000 and fold it into the state department. >> steve: we just talked to former administrator and he was in an eye-opening interview because he said that a lot of the stuff that's getting the headlines, of course, was actually money state department and things like that he said and this makes a lot of sense, when the doge team goes in and is he say okay. let me see your books and they start looking at stuff. what this guy said what they should do some of the doge

house republicans had a hearing today, chaired by, of all people, marjorie taylor greene, to review the so-called improper payments that elon musk is supposed to be finding. but elon musk didn't show up. he wasn't asked to show up, not by the republicans. and no improper payments were displayed or identified in any way. the top democrat on that committee, melanie stansbury, said this. why is a private. citizen being given. >> access to this system? >> we know. >> they're trying. >> to shut. >> down payments. >> they're trying. >> to shut. >> down agencies. >> what's next? >> are they going to shut down your social security payments? we don't know because they have no oversight. and elon. musk will. >> not come. >> in front of this committee. and in fact, the treasury folks are saying. >> this is the biggest. >> insider threat they've. >> ever seen in. >> the history of the agency. >> so we are sounding. >> the alarm. and no. >> matter how. >> many executive. orders that donald trump. >> signs or how many tweets. >> the vp. >> sends. you cannot rewrite the constitution. and we are going

congresswoman marjorie taylor greene, for example. she said that folks were huddling and they came out of those huddles with no plan. congressman chip roy didn't even attend the retreat. and then after he said that he was not going to attend something, that he knew that when he knew that the outcome was not going to be sufficient enough. and then the house freedom caucus made this call for what they said as rudderless republicans, if they feel that the republican conference is rudderless right now and they want to join a different plan to join their plan for this budget reconciliation process, which conflicts with a lot of things that speaker johnson seems to be planning to do. so there are a lot of these tensions and disagreements right now within the house republican conference, which is notable and and concerning for leadership, because we know that when we're talking about this budget reconciliation process, it's going to require near unanimity from house republicans. so at this early stage, to see them disagreeing like this is a

right now what we're watching on the left side of the screen is the chairwoman marjorie taylor greene on the war on waste. earlier we had anticipated congresswoman jasmine crockett, a democrat, to have spicy words to say against this whole thing. we got it. she is the democrat from texas. here she is. >> i'm trying to figure out exactly what it is that the republicans believe our job is. right now they have relinquished their constitutional duties over to an unelected bureaucrat. someone who no one went out to vote for and absolutely he is occupying the oval office as we saw yesterday. and that is a first for me to see someone occupying the oval office who has never actually been elected. >> harris: senator, this was more than a theme. representative brian jack, republican out of georgia, congressman jack said to his count 20 minutes or so there had been 27 mentions of locke musk and three mentions of waste. >> what the congresswoman doesn't want to recall is that for years we knew joe biden was not making the decisions and that there was someone behind the curtain at the white house.

the subcommittee is led by chair marjorie taylor greene, the republican congresswoman from georgia. focus on what she calls improper medicaid payments. on the other side of the aisle, representative jasmine crockett of texas, texas, said she's prepared for a fight. plans to use the hearing to highlight what she calls illegal actions by doge. she also plans to address elon musk and his role in that department. the national brewers association says for the first time ever, more breweries across the country are closing rather than opening. experts say supply costs are up for breweries, taprooms and brewpubs, while drinking demand has dropped starting during the covid pandemic, many customers prefer taking their food and alcohol to go or having it delivered. nationally, beer sales were down 2% last year. one brewery in colorado said it had to raise prices and expand its menu to stay open. >> a lot of big brands are aligning with trend setting on social media in terms of offering nonalcoholic or alcohol alternatives, we've had to do the same. >> the cost of raw materials for beer and gra

we should note marjorie taylor greene is the chairwoman of this subcommittee, and we are already hearing from democrats that, yes, this should be bipartisan, but let's look at what elon musk is doing outside of the scope of just cutting back on waste, fraud and abuse. he is trying to unilaterally strike back on some of these, you know, government agencies that have existed by congressional approval for decades. and so i think that that is really the tone and tenor so far. they've really just been getting through their opening statements. they're hearing from the witnesses and their opening remarks right now. but i thought that this was really striking from gerry connolly. he argued a wrecking crew, a wrecking crane, a wrecking ball is not going to do it, and we are not going to support that approach. gerry connolly being, of course, a democrat who sits on this committee, but obviously, phil, there will be a lot more updates as this goes on and as democrats get more opportunities to weigh in in the hours ahead. >> lauren fox for us live from the halls of it looks like a senate building. i

when you look and you compare me to marjorie taylor greene or me to lauren boebert, there is no comparison. and that is the life that we have always lived. so the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so, so much harder. >> and after complaining, they got creamed by trans ads. first thing they do, they hold a rally for sex changes for kids. >> my best friend's kid is trans and my kid's best friend is trans. >> it is unlawful to deny anyone medical care in this city. what shame. you will never deny your trans children or trans youth. you will continue tonight when we take out to the streets for trans revolution for everyone. >> last week, a trans woman, whatever that means, tried to assassinate treasury secretary scott bessent. democrats really aren't sending their best nationally syndicated radio host dana loesch is here. so how is the new democratic party going in february? dana. >> i think their their sanity is on life support. jesse, the stuff that you're playing is, is it's scary because it's true.

. >> before we go, i want to quickly get to some of your reporting about representative marjorie taylor greene and that she might be eyeing a run for the u.s. senate or georgia governor. >> yeah, i mean, she definitely didn't rule it out. you know, a lot of times when we talk to elected officials, their their line is, well, i'm happy with the job i have, but we'll see. and she you know, she said, i'm going to be honest. i'm looking at it, i'm considering it. and we asked her, was she leaning towards a u.s. senate seat or the governor's race? both will be open in georgia in 2026. and she said she's looking at both and hadn't made up her mind. so in a lot of ways, i think she knows she's becoming a leader in congress as one of donald trump's most vocal members of congress, but she's considering other positions. >> all right. tia mitchell, good to have you on. thank you. >> thank you. >> and homeland security secretary kristi noem and senator cory booker will be on the state of the union at 9 a.m. eastern, right here on cnn. >> the white house is ordering a sweeping review of federal firearms reg

about to drag npr and pbs into congress before a hearing that's going to be headed up by marjorie taylor greene. they're going to force npr and pbs to testify about these made up controversies about them, that that might be a place where the pushback will start. that's one thing to put on your radar today. the second thing to put on your radar today, and we're going to be talking about this every day, i think, from here on out is that as we are watching these concerted efforts to fire people in the government, they're not legally allowed to fire to shut down whole parts of the government. wall street journal is reporting tonight that they're trying to just illegally shut down the department of education. there were all the revelations this weekend that they're trying to illegally shut down usaid. as we are seeing them do that, one of the things that is happening is that people who work in those organizations are responding themselves in ways that are brave and that show some real creativity and moxie. federal workers themselves, people who work in these agencies, are taking the lead in ways tha
