"the story with martha maccallum" starts now. >> martha: that's a weird one. good afternoon. i'm martha maccallum and this is the story. earlier today, president trump held his first official cabinet meeting, very early, to have unassembled cabinet in a presidential term. he opened the white house cabinet room doors to the whole country for an hour and 5 minutes, answering questions, calling upon different members of his administration. everything from the potential minerals deal that we are told is very close, by secretary of state marco rubio, also the price of eggs came up, because the agriculture secretary is working on a project to bring that down. the first thing he did is to have elon musk stand up and give an update on d.o.g.e. >> we are spending over a trillion dollars on interest. if this continues, the country will become to factor bankrupt. it's not an optional thing, it's an essential thing. that's the reason i'm here. >> i just wondered if you had heard otherwise, if you had heard anything about members of the cabinet who were not happy with how things were goin

. >> martha: good afternoon, i martha maccallum and this is the story. breaking right now, president trump promised mark vogel's mother in butler, pennsylvania, that if he were elected he would get her son out of prison where he has been held in russia for nearly three years and that happened moments ago. mark vogel who is a schoolteacher was detained in russia since 2021 and is now on a plane. we have a great picture of him, very happy on that plane on his way home. he was helped by the special envoy to the middle east. who pretty much keeps pulling off what we did not see accomplished in the last administration. we will have more on that marc fogel later this hour. and also right now we have learned that president trump will sign new executive orders at the white house where indeed we are seeing snow across that camera. basically the goal of this executive order is to say that anything going on with doge in an effort to shrink the federal workforce is indeed the executive order of the president of the united states. democrats have been protesting, reac

over, expect the president to address the media he cannot resist cameras and this afternoon, martha maccallum presenting the story on fox and no doubt covering this meeting. fortunately martha is with me right now. been a long time sings i saw a cabinet meeting on tv. >> president trump invented this style of cabinet meeting and we're about to see something really fascinating and it's a free meeting where you betting be on your toes if you're a cabinet member and if the press asks a question that's in your area, president trump will probably answer a bit of it then say okay, stuart, you're on. this is the kind of environment the business channel at fox should be comfortable with. this is a board meeting, okay, and the shareholders are essentially in the room, and they want to know that the department of government efficiency is doing exactly that. it is making the government more efficient. ask there's a lot of stories about the cabinet officials and seeing push-back on intelligent issues and the like about the e-mail with the five things that's a brilliant idea honestly. what you're seeing i

we can agree on that. >> sandra: martha maccallum with the story anchor.are anticipating the news conference will start shortly and we heard from president trump a few minutes ago he to questions on wide range of topics. that meeting with japanese prime minister, this is fascinating to see that relationship and what it will become us with president trump showing tough negotiation tactics and u.s. steel at play. anything it come up and they should be rather interesting. >> absolutely and he had a good relationship shinzo abe and the new widow of the prime minister as before coming to the strip. obviously this is an important trip to the new japanese prime minister. he took the office in october, but there is so much at play. the largest issue really is china. the defense in this area of being on the side of our ally, japan, so interesting when you look back to world war ii and things have completely reversed. world war ii we were helping china against japanese aggressor. now all of these years later, it is japan a more vulnerable position again. they are tr

a few moments ago you heard martha maccallum interviewing one of the obama burros to. talking about than president barack obama concerned about waste, fraud and abuse, it predates barack obama. since 2003 we have seen a steady climb in improper payments on the federal ledger. take us to point number 2 in case of fraud and waist words become too generic you need to know how your money is being spent. here is one example. $22 billion by hhs going to grants for illegal immigrants or migrants if you want to call them refugees and that includes a cash and home loans. an incredible number we are spent to guide people who are not taxpaying americans. a story everyone has known for decades left, right, republican, democrat. today and 2055 we wake up and everybody is concerned about elon musk. today the media is telling you there is no evidence of waste, fraud, and abuse. saying making claims of this without proof. is that we had proof, bipartisan proof for decades. but today we are all ostriches in the sand. had stuck down to? can't see a single thing going on around us. that

thank you. >> john: here special report anchor, and martha maccallum, anchor of "the story. we will start with you because you will have emmanuel macron on "special report" what you want to know? >> i want to know how the relationship developed and how the talk was today, i'm being told the rare earth minerals deal is wrapped up in that zelenskyy could be in town as soon as thursday to sign that. that's a big step forward if that all comes to pass as the president talked about. listen, there's a number of fronts where the french leadership is essentially overseeing all of these european leaders who are worried about what the final deal is going to look out like being that they are not at the table. so i expect to hear a little bit more behind the scenes of how he takes everything that president trump is doing and saying his negotiations. >> sandra: was at a news-filled 40 minutes or so, what struck you? >> we will look forward to hearing what president macron has to say tonight. but there's a big shift and the u.s.-europe relationship. 80 years after world war ii, and the si

martha maccallum joins us now. very important question -- >> great to be here. i laid it on thick. do you think the green new deal is dead? >> i think it is, and it's been dying a slow death for a very long time. think about president obama and solyndra, okay? these efforts will be falling under the weight of capitalism and markets, essentially. what do people want, what do they pay for, what are their priorities. so at the same time, you have people leaning towards hybrid cars. people like the combination. they want to be able to use gas in their car, but they also a, you know, many people like to have an electric alternative. so it has to be driven by what people desire, what they want, how they live their live asks if what with works. we have an environmental protection if agency now that is focused on clean air and water, really good goals for an environmental protection group. but, you know, look at just for an example these ocean wind farms which also a crumbled under the own weight of the fact that that they were not financially feasible. stuart: that's r

"the wall street journal" most recently saying the trump reciprocal tariff vow further breaks from global trading norms. well, he is breaking from a lot of norms right now. >> breaking a lot of stuff all over the place. i think whenever anyone responds to something that president trump is doing right now and says, well, this isn't the way it has been done for decades. several pieces written this morning about the aspects of the trump agenda. this isn't the way it has been done for decades. we need to get used to that. i think what we are going to see today as president trump set on that truth social post is the big one. he has talked about this all throughout the entire campaign, that trade should be reciprocal. look at india, for example prime minister modi in the house. they are deal is that we pay -- they pay 3%, w
