first thing they should do find out how many government workers are coming into work, they started teleworking during covid, they have not come back. i would be concerned if i was not showing up now with elon musk and vivek ramaswamy on the job. larry: wonderful about that also is, all in salary, benefits, pensions and mile health care they make several time more than comparable private sector workers that has been pro en proven out of line. >> senator, i am out of time, turns out, wait. 91% of political donations from the federal reserve guess where? democrats, 91% that is our nation's central bank. protecting the value of our money? keeping price stability for middle and lower income working folks. larry: 91% of them gave men to democrats, i have to tale i. there is something very wrong with that. you get the last word. >> well j. powell hides behind independents when it is convenient and he trots out democratic agenda in terms of his position on monetary policy, there a big controversy about whether donald trump should fire him, he should fire himself, he should be ashamed and step down out

we have flexible work. 85% of afc civilians telework, and we also have some that are remote workers. it has to be focused on the mission needs. but we are able to make this work. we have good internal progression. in the last three years, 60% of our vacancies were filled with candidates from within afc, and 94% of promotions were internal to afc. so we really do make a concerted effort to look out for our people in their career progression. we have varied locations. afc has opportunities across 73 locations around the world. and so almost anywhere you want to be, we probably have an opportunity. and then because of the flex builds that we have, we're able to reward contributions. in addition to the pay for performance system that we just put in place, we have a robust employee recognition program that recognizes and rewards inventions and significant contributions that are made by members of our workforce. we are dedicated to talent management, and we are very deliberate and strategic about how we approach that. so since my arrival at afc, we've had a campaign where we really want to

and everybody railed against telework, however telework puts the expense on the federal employee becausee are using our own utilities, using our own electricity and at the same time we are getting rid of these leases that we paid to commercial entities. some of the leases for just a small office space run anywhere between six step 6000 to $10,000 a month. host: i want to highlight something in that op-ed by elon e department of governmentbout efficiency and in that op-ed theyaid requiring federal employees to come to the office five days a week would result in wave of voluntary terminati that we welcome. a feral employees don't to show up americanaxpayers shouldn't pay them for the covid era privilege of staying home. i wonder what you would think of that and whether you're at all concerned about your job in a potential cut under the department of government efficiency if it is created. caller: so again, when i look at what they have said, again this is a misconception because this is a way in my opinion to turn the civilian enforcement of the federal worker. i do not have a problem if i

them much more engaged, like going after federal workers who don't want to be tracked when they're teleworking. mike: what's realistic in terms of cutting government waste? [no audio] mike: okay, i regret that we lost audio from congressman-elect mike hair adopt loss. thank you very much, look forward to seeing you up here on capitol hill. ♪ mike: the head of i.c.e. in new york city now speaking out about the illegal migrant crisis saying it would the take a lifetime to deport all the concerns roams the -- criminals roaming the streets there. c.b. cotton has more. >> reporter: he's not mincing words about how he feels on new york city's sanctuary laws. he told "the new york post" some of the crimes being committed by illegal migrants are not only impacting new yorkers, but the migrant community itself. telling the new york post, quote, the majority of these crimes that are the being committed are against the most vulnerable people in the community x can that's the migrant females and the migrant children. i don't understand how hay believe sanctuary policies are helping or assisting. finish hi

so how many of these federal workers currently working remote 1.3 million currently approved for teleworkof the federal workforce. and of the federal workers who are working from home, they're spending the vast majority of their time in the office, 60%, according to the office of personnel and management. and then there's this subset of federal workers about 10%. so that's 228,000. they are purely remote. they do not ever come into the office. but again, small sliver, that's 10% of the workforce. and it's because of this data that the union president of afge, the these federal workers, put out this statement saying the implication that federal employees writ large are not working in person is simply not backed up by the data. and not in reality. and they went on to say that if the trump administration does want to make this sort of policy change, mandating that everyone be in work five days a week, that they would need to negotiate with these unions as a part of their collective bargaining process, but as far as what is the picture today not all federal workers currently have to be in the

we still have people that are teleworking because of covid. well, last i checked, covid was over many, many years ago. so we need to either get these federal workers back into their office spaces, or we need to eliminate the leases and the maintenance for those vacant buildings. it is costing our federal government about $8 billion a year for vacant buildings. it costs nearly as much for the upkeep for those buildings. there are some big ticket items that we really can eliminate from our federal government. it's just common sense. and if the democrats aren't willing to come along with us, or if there are naysayers to the department of government efficiency, it's probably because they're eating the pork out of the trough. and we really do need to start slimming back and cutting the fat. iowans sent me to washington, d.c. to make them squeal, and i have been working on these efforts for ten years now. i've presented that information to elon musk and vivek ramaswamy. we have got a ton of ideas here. there is no shortage of waste within our federa

approved for telework. that's about half of the federal workforce. and of those working these sort of hybrid schedules they spend the vast majority of their time in the office 60% of their time in the office, according to the office of personnel management and then just a small percentage of the larger bucket of the over 2 million federal workers are completely remote. but that is the sect of the workforce that they're really focused on when it comes to this mandate that they're pondering of saying, no more working from home, everyone come back to the office. and they're also thinking about coupling that with moving some of these agencies out of washington, d.c. so when you have those two things together, moving the agencies some of them, and also demanding that everyone is in office, five days a week, they are hoping they'll be able to shed and thin out the ranks. th key goal of the trump administration, too and marjorie taylor greene is now going to be heading this subcommittee. i mean, how is this going to work? >> yeah i mean, so and i know you y
