TODAY’S BIG STORY…

Last night, President Trump and Elon Musk sat with Fox News’ Sean Hannity in a joint interview to discuss topics like the president’s desire to shrink the U.S. government; DOGE’s role in exposing the fraudulent and wasteful spending by D.C. agencies; and Musk’s proposal of giving a $5,000 tax refund to every American taxpayer. However, the big takeaway was the deep appreciation and respect shared between the two men.

Trump praised Musk’s kindness, genius, creativity, and love of country. The president said Americans are extremely fortunate to have Elon involved in DOGE. In return, Musk praised Trump’s leadership, business expertise, and seasoned wisdom. He highlighted their mutual respect and shared vision for America's future, emphasizing their joint efforts to promote innovation and economic growth. "I love the president; he's a good man,” said Musk. “The media’s attacks on him are outrageous. I’ve spent so much time with him—never once have I seen him be mean or cruel."

Musk also said he didn’t realize “Trump Derangement Syndrome” was real until witnessing it at a friend’s dinner party before the 2024 election. Musk described guests irrationally reacting as if “shot with a dart containing methamphetamine and rabies” at the mere mention of Trump’s name.

AND HERE’S ANOTHER GREAT STORY…

President Trump amplified his tariff threats to rework the global economy in America’s favor, and he dismissed warnings about a trade war from left-leaning economists at a press conference Tuesday. Trump seeks to impose 25% tariffs on foreign cars, semiconductor chips, and pharmaceuticals entering the country.

Trump said he would likely announce the 25% tariffs on April 2, and suggested he may impose even higher rates on semiconductors and pharmaceuticals over the course of the year. The increases are designed to attract manufacturers to the U.S., where no tariffs apply if they produce their goods domestically.

MY OPINION…

The partnership between Musk and Trump is better than that of Batman and Robin. And the best part is this: this new dynamic duo is only one month into a 48-month gig. Moreover, Musk hit the nail on the head: the Left will hate Trump no matter what. Trump can solve world hunger tomorrow and yet, the Left will say he picked the wrong food. Trump could fund the cure to cancer and yet, the Left would say he stole the money. Trump derangement syndrome is a real thing — and as I always say on the DML NEWS Podcast — it’s because liberalism is a real mental disorder.

THE ADMINISTRATION…

• President Trump directed the Justice Department to terminate all remaining U.S. attorneys appointed by Joe Biden.

• Trump is directing federal agencies to no longer consider a company’s diversity, equity and inclusion practices when deciding whether to procure its goods or services, thus, unraveling a prior measure imposed by Biden.

• Trump signed an order directing federal agencies to find ways to lower IVF costs, which average $15,000 per cycle. The order tasks the Domestic Policy Council with ensuring reliable access to treatment.

• Trump signed an order intended to align federal agencies more closely with the president's agenda, asserting a need for transparency and control over agencies like the FTC, SEC, and independent bodies such as the FCC. The new order seeks to 'reign in independent agencies' by seizing various departments that normally act in accordance with Congress and bring them under control of the executive branch in the White House. Trump officials claim that Article II of the U.S. Constitution, which delineates presidential powers, gives the president sole authority over all the executive branch's officials and employees. 

• A federal judge declined to grant a request by 14 state attorneys general to temporarily bar DOGE from accessing data at seven federal agencies and moving forward with efforts to minimize the federal workforce. The judge said the states had not shown specific examples of how the work of DOGE could cause the states irreparable harm.

• The Trump administration fired 168 probationary workers at the National Science Foundation.

• Trump hosted a gala at Mar-a-Lago, attended by General Mike Flynn, Mike Tyson, and Ted Nugent. The event, titled 'Celebrate American Exceptionalism 2025,' was led by America's Future, an organization chaired by Flynn. Trump told Flynn he is welcome to join his administration at any time.

• DOGE revealed that eliminating paper checks could save the Treasury at least $750 million annually, as processing 116 million checks in FY2024 incurred high costs. They also noted that in FY2023, $25 billion in tax refunds were delayed or lost due to expired or returned checks.

• DOGE confirmed that over 20 million people on Social Security rolls are listed as 100+ years old, with some recorded as old as 369. More than 15 million are over 110. A 2023 audit flagged 18.9 million centenarians still listed as alive.

• Elon Musk voiced the idea of publicly auditing Fort Knox, for the first time since 1953. The idea involves Musk performing a live video walk-through to verify the presence of approximately 4,580 tons of gold, worth an estimated $425 billion.

• Kash Patel cleared a key Senate vote for his FBI Director nomination, with Republicans confident he’ll be confirmed this week. The Senate voted 48-45 to open debate, setting up a final approval expected Thursday.

• The White House’s Stephen Miller clashed with CNN’s Brianna Keilar over DOGE investigations. Keilar asked Miller in a snarky tone if IRS data would be used against illegals who received tax return checks and child credits. Miller reamed her by saying there will be arrests, convictions, and deportations of illegals who took taxpayer money by using stolen social security numbers.

• NASA announced the termination of approximately 10% of its workforce, equating to about 1000 employees.

• Trump officials are investigating Chinese money brokers who are part of an underground banking system. The brokers are teaming up with Mexican cartels to launder money from the fentanyl trade in the U.S. By means of using a third-party individual to collect drug profits from dealers, the brokers then resell the drug money to Chinese immigrants living in the states. The immigrants then use the laundered cash to buy property in the U.S.

• USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins says the Trump administration is exploring ways to prevent China from buying U.S. farmland. She emphasized concerns over foreign ownership, particularly by those tied to the CCP.

• The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan. The ruling prevents future presidents from attempting similar actions.

• An auto worker at the Hyundai electric car plant in Rome, Georgia, reported that ICE conducted a raid at the facility. His claim suggests a significant number of illegal workers were present and fled during the raid.

• Nearly a week after the U.S. sent roughly 300 migrants from around the world to Panama on military deportation flights, officials in Panama said that more than 170 had agreed to be deported to their countries of origin.

VICE PRESIDENT…

JD Vance posted a get-well wish on X for Pope Francis, who has been hospitalized with double pneumonia since last week. Vance wrote, “Let's all say a prayer for Pope Francis, who appears to have some serious health issues.” The well-wish comes despite the Pope’s harsh criticism of the Trump administration’s immigration policies.

CONGRESS…

The Senate confirmed Howard Lutnick as Commerce Secretary in a 51-45 vote. Lutnick will oversee U.S. trade, infrastructure, and telecommunications.

Democrat Ilhan Omar was removed from the Foreign Affairs Committee following a House vote, with Republicans largely in favor and Democrats opposing the move.

Republican Senator Roger Wicker has publicly labeled Russian President Vladimir Putin as a 'war criminal' who deserves imprisonment for life or execution.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham's budget proposal includes massive funding for Ukraine until 2030. Critics are blasting him, saying the funds should go towards domestic issues. With this said, the Senate voted to begin debate on the FY2025 Budget Resolution with a margin of 50-47. This procedural move sets the stage for discussions on funding related to Trump's legislative agenda.

Republican Representative Anna Paulina Luna has been appointed to lead the House Declassification and Transparency Task Force. The force aims to declassify federal secrets on topics ranging from the JFK assassination to UFO sightings.

Representative Claudia Tenney has introduced a bill in Congress proposing to make President Trump's birthday, which coincides with Flag Day on June 14, a federal holiday.
