Thank you so much for joining us tonight.

We just, we have a lot.

We have a lot to get to in the next hour of the readout,

including the resignation of the head of the criminal division of the U.S.

Attorney's Office for D.C., who refused to carry out politically motivated orders

to take actions that happen to be unsupported by evidence,

all part of Trump's revenge tour.

Plus, the chaos in New York City with the mass resignations of Eric Adams' deputy mayors

and the governor holding meetings to decide whether to remove Adams from office.

City comptroller Brad Lander says Adams needs to prove that he can continue to govern.

And he joins me later in the show.

But we begin tonight with the question of trust. Donald Trump's White House is telling us to trust

them and to not look at all the dumpster fires that they set when they unleash the made-up

Department of Government efficiency on nearly every facet of the federal government with blow torches in hand.

During co-president Elon Musk's Oval Office press conference last week, he said the trust will be

warranted due to their transparency.

Transparency is what builds trust. Not simply somebody asserting trust.

So not somebody saying they're trustworthy,

but transparency. So you can see everything that's going on. Ah, yes, and asserting trust. Well, for the

last week, we were promised the receipts for all the rampant waste, fraud, and abuse they claim to

have uncovered. The Doge website said it was coming no later than Valentine's Day. It didn't.

They said it would come over the weekend. It didn't. And now they finally started putting out something on their website.
