=== Is This Show Really Ending (10:12) ===

[00:00:01]  Is it really the end?
[00:00:03]  I mean, might this show just really and truly go away for good?
[00:00:07]  Entirely possible in this moment in time.
[00:00:11]  All of you.
[00:00:12]  He's not going to be, he's not going to, you know, say, oh, you're with a white guy.
[00:00:19]  I'm going to keep you from being deported.
[00:00:21]  No, he's going to deport you and put the white guy with someone else.
[00:00:24]  The man is out there.
[00:00:25]  He's also.
[00:00:27]  Yeah.
[00:00:28]  And you may soon be out there too, Whoopi Goldberg.
[00:00:32]  Welcome to the program, everyone.
[00:00:33]  I'm Trish Regan.
[00:00:34]  Make sure you like, subscribe, share.
[00:00:35]  Comment all that good stuff.
[00:00:38]  A happy early thanksgiving to all of you, and maybe this is like an early thanksgiving present, assuming this happens.
[00:00:45]  Listen, i'm not the only one who's saying this woman has got to go.
[00:00:48]  She's got to go.
[00:00:49]  She's got to go.
[00:00:49]  The show, thank you very much, has got to go because how much of these little cat fights can one really take?
[00:00:57]  Why is this hogging up any kind of federally owned airwaves?
[00:01:02]  We got a new head of the FCC coming in, right.
[00:01:05]  Do we really need to have our airwaves clogged up with this?
[00:01:10]  You got to go to state because nobody can figure out what's being said here right now.
[00:01:16]  Listen, take him seriously and take him literally.
[00:01:19]  I don't think that we have to.
[00:01:21]  I think it would be remiss of us to not say Joe Biden knows how to do this.
[00:01:29]  Yes.
[00:01:29]  He knows how to do this.
[00:01:30]  He's quite good at this.
[00:01:32]  And, you know, you can't refute anything with him because he just, when I say him, I mean.
[00:01:38]  He rambles.
[00:01:40]  Trump.
[00:01:40]  Trump.
[00:01:41]  He tends to just.
[00:01:42]  Can I mention one thing?
[00:01:44]  Because Trump is out there calling for it.
[00:01:47]  You know what?
[00:01:51]  She's perfectly entitled to spit whenever she says the president's name.
[00:01:57]  Perfectly entitled.
[00:01:57]  Okay?
[00:01:57]  Like, I'm not saying take away anyone's freedom of speech here.
[00:02:01]  I guess I would just question whether or not this is really valid as a business.
[00:02:05]  What are the profitability margins at The View?
[00:02:07]  I think they're like this.
[00:02:08]  Because I think, unfortunately, the likes of Joy and.
[00:02:12]  Whoopi and Sonny, they're hogging up a lot of the profitability in that show.
[00:02:16]  Plus, you get the live studio audience that you have to have clap every time she spits when she says the president's name.
[00:02:23]  I mean, this is looking increasingly like a bad business venture.
[00:02:27]  So if I'm Bob Iger and I own ABC News vis-a-vis Disney, I'm like, you know what?
[00:02:33]  I want done, right?
[00:02:34]  And he's already said that.
[00:02:35]  He wants to spin off ABC News, and that's going to happen.
[00:02:38]  He's going to be looking at Comcast going, whoa, guys, you beat me to it.
[00:02:41]  Well, I'm not the only one saying it's time for this show to go.
[00:02:45]  Piers Morgan out.
[00:02:47]  with a big new op-ed in the New York Post saying, guess what?
[00:02:51]  The view is a pointless, irrelevant, Trump loathing joke.
[00:02:56]  Cancel it.
[00:02:57]  You know, he's right.
[00:02:58]  How can we even call it a show, frankly?
[00:03:00]  It is a joke.
[00:03:00]  It's a joke of a, ugh, I mean, it's just terrible.
[00:03:03]  I'm sorry that I even subject you to watching the clips, but you need to know what's out there, do you not?
[00:03:08]  And you know what's great?
[00:03:09]  Nobody cares enough about it to actually vote the way these crazy ladies tell you to vote.
[00:03:15]  Here we go.
[00:03:16]  Quote from Pierce.
[00:03:17]  It's precisely that kind of hyperbolic, apoplectic nonsense, apoplectic nonsense, along with saying he's the new Hitler that drove so many undecides to vote for Trump.
[00:03:29]  While the late great Barbara Walters created The View, or when she did, she wanted it to be a show hosted by women with different opinions.
[00:03:40]  In other words, not everybody's saying the exact same thing all the time, which is what it's become.
[00:03:45]  He goes on to write, they all despise the man who is to be their president again, and that tediously myopic, one-sided act just won't play now that he's been given such a resounding endorsement from the American people.
[00:03:59]  I don't like cancel culture, but given that the hosts of The View have, by their own admission, worked so hard to cancel Donald Trump, it's time they were canceled, dun-da-da, themselves.
[00:04:13]  Uh-huh.
[00:04:14]  In other words, the business doesn't make sense.
[00:04:19]  The show doesn't make sense.
[00:04:22]  I mean, right now, they know that.
[00:04:24]  The producers know that, which is why there's this giant casting call.
[00:04:27]  Can they get any conservative to come on the show?
[00:04:29]  I'll tell you, no conservative should go on that show.
[00:04:32]  Let's let them sink on their own, okay?
[00:04:34]  You're going down, and we're not here to help save the payday for Whoopi Goldberg or Joy Behar.
[00:04:41]  No, absolutely.
[00:04:43]  But you can tell that the producers have had a little bit of massaging along the way because Whoopi suddenly is trying to argue with her co host that maybe they shouldn't jump all over Trump.
[00:04:53]  No, instead, we'll just wait and see what he does.
[00:04:56]  This is the newest, latest, and greatest argument that they're trying to have on the set there at The View.
[00:05:01]  I think what we're all saying is we're going to sit and watch.
[00:05:05]  We're going to wait and see because we can't do anything else except.
[00:05:08]  I'm not going to wait and see.
[00:05:09]  I mean, this guy is so.
[00:05:10]  What are you going to do?
[00:05:14]  There's nothing to be done until you know what you're fighting.
[00:05:16]  It's pissing in the wind doesn't help.
[00:05:20]  You just get a whiff.
[00:05:21]  I have no.
[00:05:22]  What I'm saying is I have no.
[00:05:24]  false expectations that at 78 he's going to all of a sudden turn into another human being.
[00:05:29]  And I'm not going to stop the fire.
[00:05:32]  I spent weeks telling people that he was apocalyptic.
[00:05:35]  I'm not going to change now.
[00:05:37]  No, because he's still the same man.
[00:05:39]  He's not treating every single thing like that.
[00:05:40]  I think that's why we lose credibility.
[00:05:43]  Well, here's the thing.
[00:05:43]  You lose credibility in many different ways.
[00:05:46]  If you don't know what you're talking about and you accuse him of something, then they're going to blow it back.
[00:05:52]  That's why I say we need to wait and see exactly what you're going to do.
[00:05:56]  Hmm.
[00:05:57]  Is that what they're telling her?
[00:05:58]  Well, but you've totally lost credibility.
[00:06:00]  And maybe it would be better if you just react after the fact instead of trying to anticipate, tell everybody, oh, he's going to be the next Hitler.
[00:06:07]  But they're like, oh, wait a second.
[00:06:08]  He actually was in office for four years and he wasn't Hitler.
[00:06:11]  And actually, we saw the best growth in median wages that we had seen as a nation since, oh, I mean, taking out the March 2020 situation, you got to go all the way back some 50 years to the likes of JFK to get anything like it.
[00:06:26]  So people are looking at this saying, gee, I remember when gas prices were this and A dozen eggs didn't cost me eight bucks.
[00:06:33]  And I kind of want to go back to that.
[00:06:35]  And these ladies are so clueless.
[00:06:36]  So now whoopies reading the handwriting on the wall.
[00:06:40]  The executives are telling her what's what.
[00:06:42]  She's got to wait.
[00:06:43]  She's got to sit tight.
[00:06:45]  Or they may just cancel the whole thing altogether, which is really what they should do.
[00:06:49]  I'm in complete agreement with Piers Morgan.
[00:06:53]  But here's an idea, just so we have a little fun, shall we, on the way to the forum.
[00:06:57]  Why not have Elon Musk buy ABC?
[00:07:01]  He's clearly looking for stuff.
[00:07:03]  He's looking for programming.
[00:07:04]  He can get rid of the entire cast.
[00:07:06]  He can get rid of the live studio audience.
[00:07:08]  Heck, you know, he's talking about putting Joe Rogan in.
[00:07:11]  Let's put Joe's show in there instead.
[00:07:14]  And actually have a broadcast network for it to be on.
[00:07:17]  I mean, I get it.
[00:07:17]  He's going to have to clean up his language and stuff because there's certain FCC rules.
[00:07:20]  You can't say certain things.
[00:07:21]  I mean, those ladies get away with saying a lot, but, you know, we got to keep the four letter words out of things.
[00:07:27]  Maybe that's why MSNBC ultimately would be the better fit.
[00:07:32]  I would say this, though the advantage with buying a network is that you don't have the same challenges that cable has from the streaming front.
[00:07:40]  In other words, a network can actually put its product out there because it's not reliant on all of those fees from cable operators.
[00:07:47]  So I think it's an attractive idea.
[00:07:50]  Here they are, the ladies on The View, blaming Elon Musk, blaming X, blaming the stupid people that would read anything that they see on X or perhaps listen to a podcast like this one.
[00:08:04]  Yours truly, reminder there.
[00:08:06]  I'm reminding you to subscribe, share, like.
[00:08:09]  Here they are the day after the election, blaming X.
[00:08:12]  We not let Fox News off the hook, please.
[00:08:14]  I don't understand.
[00:08:16]  And Newsmax and all the fake news that's been going out there.
[00:08:19]  You know, one of the things that we need to do, and it's not to abolish the Department of Education.
[00:08:24]  As a former teacher, believe me, he's talking about doing that.
[00:08:28]  You know, kids in, I brought this up before, I'm going to bring it up again.
[00:08:28]  Yes.
[00:08:31]  In Finland, kids in nursery school are learning to discern between fake news and real news.
[00:08:39]  They should be teaching that in this country.
[00:08:41]  Yeah.
[00:08:41]  Teach children tolerance, teach them to think critically.
[00:08:45]  Well, it would help if we could regulate.
[00:08:46]  Social media, because one of the biggest defenders is DC and Congress have not been able to do one thing in regard to the rogue corporations that are going to get any better with Elon Musk, though, in the administration.
[00:08:59]  Well, they just want to regulate everything, right?
[00:09:02]  I mean, by the way, if you're going to teach kids about fake news, real news, I mean, can we teach kids not to watch The View?
[00:09:09]  Don't ever watch The View?
[00:09:11]  I mean, you want to talk fake news, conspiratorial, insane fake news.
[00:09:19]  The difference is that people actually had the good sense to go and seek news elsewhere.
[00:09:25]  It's what you need to do.
[00:09:26]  It's actually not only why I created this show, but also why I created 76 Research, 76research.com.
[00:09:31]  If you want to get the 76 report, if you're interested in getting our model portfolios, you can get the Founders Club, and then you get all the model portfolios, including any new additional ones that come along down the pike.
[00:09:41]  We've had a very good track record that I am so proud of.
[00:09:45]  And listen, it's going to get better and better because we're now looking, At an environment with a great president, great treasury secretary, great commerce secretary, great head of OMB, you've got Elon and Vivek over at Doge.
[00:09:57]  You got a lot of things working for you as an investor, as an American.
[00:10:02]  So be part of this.
[00:10:04]  I have a new guide out with my colleague over at 76 called Invest in MAGA.

=== Investing in the New Uncharted Territory (06:35) ===

[00:10:14]  Learn about what's actually going to work in this new, unchattered territory.
[00:10:19]  Unchattered territory.
[00:10:20]  There's a lot of good stuff coming along, a lot.
[00:10:22]  On the way, but i'll tell you another reason to cancel the view.
[00:10:27]  Believe me this, this show needs to go out of business.
[00:10:30]  Another reason to cancel it is just the hate that we have to absorb from them on a daily basis and my concern is that's translating into other problems.
[00:10:40]  News today that some of the Trump appointees have been targeted targeted according to the AP, according to the FBI, which confirmed this.
[00:10:49]  They have been targeting, targeted with bomb threats and swatting attacks, And this is really concerning, to just go through it with you.
[00:11:01]  The swatting attacks, which I wasn't that familiar with, it turns out a swatting attack is when basically you wind up sucking up all the resources of emergency law enforcement because you're reporting a false crime, just to kind of get everybody freaked out.
[00:11:17]  Anyway, last night and this morning, several of President Trump's cabinet nominees and administration appointees were targeted in violent, un American threats to their lives and those who live with them.
[00:11:27]  This is according to To the Trump spokesperson, Caroline Levitt.
[00:11:31]  She said the attacks, quote, ranged from bomb threats to swatting.
[00:11:35]  In response, law enforcement and other authorities acted quickly to ensure the safety of those who were targeted.
[00:11:40]  President Trump and the entire transition team are grateful for their swift action.
[00:11:44]  I'll tell you, this should never be.
[00:11:48]  This should absolutely never be.
[00:11:50]  And I do question whether the insanity from the media, frankly, is part of this, encouraging this to be.
[00:11:57]  I mean, think about the fact that this.
[00:12:00]  President elect, former president, has had two attempts on his life.
[00:12:04]  And I'll tell you, it's a miracle.
[00:12:05]  It's a miracle that he is here today.
[00:12:08]  And yet, if you listen to Whoopi Goldberg, just the next day after this horrendous, heinous thing, or the Monday after this horrendous thing had happened, remember when he stood up and he said, fight, fight?
[00:12:20]  She acted as though somehow this is to be assumed because of the rhetoric he employs at his rallies.
[00:12:30]  I mean, she's blaming the victim here.
[00:12:33]  Unbelievable.
[00:12:35]  JD, clearly you've not been to one of your boss's rallies because you believe this insanity.
[00:12:43]  I mean, he has been inciting violence since 2016, telling them to beat up hecklers, threaten to shoot looters and migrants.
[00:12:54]  They have, I don't remember Bill Clinton about what was going on in his White House when it was sprayed by 29 shots.
[00:13:06]  I don't remember.
[00:13:07]  Did he get shot in the ear?
[00:13:09]  I'm a blaming opponents when his White House was shot up in 2011.
[00:13:14]  You have to really take a look in a mirror to see the reflection.
[00:13:23]  One of the reasons that everybody has survived is because the Secret Service has been doing their job.
[00:13:32]  Let's start with that.
[00:13:34]  That's, you know.
[00:13:37]  So quit blaming folks until you decide to take a look at what's coming out of your mouth.
[00:13:44]  You didn't want to tell people that it was a lie that you've been talking about when you're sending people to go against folks in the community.
[00:13:55]  This entire rant was directed at JD Vance because JD Vance at the time was really concerned that the rhetoric that had been employed by so many members of the mainstream legacy media was leading to more hate, leading to more violence, and that they should really take some responsibility and tone it down.
[00:14:13]  And instead of toning it down, what did she do?
[00:14:14]  She turned around and she blamed Trump.
[00:14:16]  She's like, JD, have you not been to one of his rallies?
[00:14:18]  Let's blame him.
[00:14:20]  I mean, this is wacky stuff, okay?
[00:14:22]  So yes, this show should be off.
[00:14:25]  It should just be gone.
[00:14:26]  She should be fired.
[00:14:27]  Make an example out of her.
[00:14:28]  Heck.
[00:14:29]  I mean, you've made examples out of enough people.
[00:14:31]  And while I'm with peers, I don't believe in cancel culture.
[00:14:35]  Like, this is like enough is enough, okay?
[00:14:36]  Plus, the business itself, right?
[00:14:38]  Those profitability margins would do a whole lot better without the likes of Whoopi Goldberg there.
[00:14:42]  Anyway, Elise Stefanik, tragic situation here, writing on Twitter that in a statement, she didn't actually write this herself.
[00:14:49]  Her office wrote this that she and her husband, along with her three year old son, were driving home from Saratoga County, from Washington.
[00:14:57]  They were driving home for Thanksgiving weekend, and they were informed of a Bomb threat at their residence.
[00:15:03]  I mean, what the heck is going on?
[00:15:06]  And are we going to hear from the view on Monday or Friday, whenever?
[00:15:09]  I'm sure they get a long weekend, right, for the holiday.
[00:15:12]  Are we going to hear that still again, it's somehow at least Stefanik's fault or any one of the staffers' fault?
[00:15:17]  I mean, this is gross.
[00:15:19]  It's absolutely gross.
[00:15:21]  And think about, just think about what they were doing and ask yourself, didn't this not contribute to part of it?
[00:15:27]  Where can we meet in the middle?
[00:15:30]  On this question, We're past that.
[00:15:35]  You can't meet if they, listen, if they voted for Trump in 16, whatever.
[00:15:42]  They voted for Trump in 20, they knew exactly what they were doing.
[00:15:46]  If they vote for Donald Trump in 2024, and I've said it on my show, I'll say it here, they're knowingly voting for a fascist.
[00:15:56]  They're voting for a racist.
[00:15:58]  They're voting for somebody that wants to put this country.
[00:16:04]  200 years in the back.
[00:16:07]  And so I'm not trying to figure them out.
[00:16:11]  I'm trying to figure out how we get people out who love democracy.
[00:16:16]  You don't think that that had some effect on this sense that you can target people associated with Trump?
[00:16:23]  This is what America is fighting back against.
[00:16:27]  When he got up there, I'll never forget that day.
[00:16:32]  And he managed to raise himself up above all of those Secret Service agents that were trying to protect him, you know, frankly, a little too late.
[00:16:40]  The bullet nearly, nearly hit him.
[00:16:44]  And there are a whole host of things that should have been done.
[00:16:46]  And I realize he's magnanimous and is not blaming Secret Service.

=== Why Cable Networks Are For Sale (07:31) ===

[00:16:49]  But heck, you know what?
[00:16:51]  I don't have to be as magnanimous.
[00:16:52]  I will blame Secret Service and I will blame the lack of planning and the lack of ability to talk to one another between local law enforcement and federal law enforcement.
[00:17:02]  I blame it all because that never, ever should have happened.
[00:17:05]  And now I'm worried all over again about what could be, in part because you got lunatics like Scarborough or Whoopi Goldberg or Joy or any of these other Joy, the other Joy, over on MSNBC, these hate filled commentators that are so wildly irresponsible.
[00:17:24]  It's dangerous.
[00:17:25]  It really and truly is.
[00:17:28]  I have more on why Elon Musk ought to buy ABC and get rid of everyone on the view in just a second.
[00:17:34]  But a quick shout out for our friends over at American Hartford Gold.

[00:18:12]  Disney needs to get rid of this show.
[00:18:15]  I've been saying it and I'm going to say it again.
[00:18:17]  I do think that there's a real chance that it's going to happen and it's going to happen sooner than you think.
[00:18:23]  It's being talked about.
[00:18:25]  I mean, this is one of the reasons why you see Whoopi backing off a little bit.
[00:18:29]  All I can do is wait and see.
[00:18:32]  What he does, and that will inform what I do.
[00:18:38]  That's Whoopi Goldberg talking about the president.
[00:18:42]  Although one wonders if she's also talking about Elon Musk, right?
[00:18:44]  Elon doesn't like Disney very much.
[00:18:46]  He doesn't like Bob Iger, who runs Disney.
[00:18:49]  Disney runs, of course, ABC News, which runs The View.
[00:18:53]  Trickle down, trickle down effect.
[00:18:54]  Anyway, Elon has no use for Bob Iger because Bob was one of the ones who very vocally came out against Twitter, now known as X. When Elon took it over and he said, you know what, I don't want anything to do with this.
[00:19:05]  And so there was that infamous moment.
[00:19:07]  I showed you, I showed it, I think, just yesterday on the show, but I want you to see it again.
[00:19:11]  I mean, I could watch this clip all day long, honestly.
[00:19:14]  There's advertisers leaving.
[00:19:15]  We talked to Bob Eigenstein.
[00:19:16]  I hope they stop.
[00:19:18]  You hope.
[00:19:19]  Don't advertise.
[00:19:20]  You don't want them to advertise?
[00:19:21]  No.
[00:19:22]  What do you mean?
[00:19:25]  If somebody's going to try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money, go f yourself.
[00:19:36]  Go yourself.
[00:19:39]  Is that clear?
[00:19:41]  I hope it is.
[00:19:42]  Hey, Bob, if you're in the audience.
[00:19:45]  Well, let me ask you then.
[00:19:48]  The anchor doesn't quite know what to do with that.
[00:19:51]  Hey, Bob, if you're in the audience.
[00:19:52]  Hey, Bob, maybe I could take that ABC off your hands.
[00:19:56]  Of course, then again, maybe he's doing a favor to ABC.
[00:19:59]  I will say this they're not going to get much for it.
[00:20:02]  I mean, he's been out there shopping it.
[00:20:03]  Nextar took a look, according to my sources.
[00:20:06]  You've got private equity firms, according to my sources, that are taking a look at this company.
[00:20:10]  But again, the margins just aren't there.
[00:20:11]  And why do you want to be in a dying business?
[00:20:13]  The only person I can think of that really could turn it around because he thinks outside the box and you don't have the quite the same restrictions as far as streaming, et cetera, that apply to a network as they do to a cable network is Elon.
[00:20:27]  Like he could actually say, all right, let's really make this into something.
[00:20:31]  Now you've got FCC guidelines, et cetera.
[00:20:34]  Not that they seem to matter much.
[00:20:36]  I mean, there's equal time rules, et cetera.
[00:20:39]  And I guess their version of equal time at ABC is.
[00:20:43]  oh, we'll give 99.9% bad coverage to Trump and 99.9% good coverage to Kamala Harris.
[00:20:51]  And hey, we're all set equal time.
[00:20:54]  I think Elon could really turn it on its head.
[00:20:56]  I mean, what if you say, okay, we're going to give equal time and we're actually going to show the good, bad, and the ugly of everyone?
[00:21:01]  I mean, maybe that would actually be innovative and fair.
[00:21:04]  Maybe people would be interested in that.
[00:21:06]  Here's his tweet about buying MSNBC.
[00:21:09]  Of course, a lot of chatter about that.
[00:21:11]  You know, he was sort of egged on there, if you would, by Don Jr.
[00:21:14]  He's like, no, you know what?
[00:21:15]  In response, he wrote back, hey, how much is it?
[00:21:17]  How much is it?
[00:21:18]  Right?
[00:21:19]  And it's the same thing he wrote back when he was thinking about buying Twitter back in the day.
[00:21:23]  The question was, how much is it?
[00:21:25]  Well, I think MSNBC probably with all the other cable entities, and hey, you get to throw in CNBC and Syfy and Oprah's Oxygen and a few others in there.
[00:21:36]  Total worth probably somewhere around $7 billion, assuming that it trades around one times, maybe one and a quarter times earnings.
[00:21:44]  I mean, it is a dying business after all.
[00:21:47]  And $7 billion, he can swing it.
[00:21:48]  After all, he's the world's wealthiest man, and Twitter costs $42.
[00:21:53]  But I guess you get back to do you really want to have to do that?
[00:21:56]  I mean, granted, it would be pretty funny, right?
[00:21:58]  I mean, the memes are really just all over the internet.
[00:22:01]  They show him carting out the computers there at MSNBC.
[00:22:04]  They're calling it XNBC already.
[00:22:06]  Mika and Joe worried they're going to be fired.
[00:22:08]  A year from now, when this happens, you never know what's going to happen.
[00:22:12]  Yeah.
[00:22:13]  You never know.
[00:22:14]  You just never know.
[00:22:18]  I mean, CNN is all worked up about it.
[00:22:20]  They get EDS instead of TDS over it.
[00:22:23]  Platforms are not regulated right now, which gives them carburetor to whatever they want right now.
[00:22:29]  Elon is not someone who likes to be regulated.
[00:22:32]  And so to buy MSN, he would go under some federal regulations.
[00:22:36]  Who's heard none of that?
[00:22:37]  Not that much, actually.
[00:22:39]  I'll just jump in and say, and I think Scott actually started to say that because.
[00:22:43]  He's like the arbiter of truth there on CNN.
[00:22:46]  Not that much in the sense that the FCC is not regulating everything you say.
[00:22:51]  You can actually swear on cable.
[00:22:52]  And by the way, Joe Scarborough has at 6 15 in the morning, and he's proud of it.
[00:22:56]  So there's a looser environment in cable.
[00:22:59]  You don't have the same kind of equal time rules, et cetera, that you do in network television.
[00:23:04]  So there's more give and take.
[00:23:08]  However, and this is the big elephant in the room, you can't stream the content.
[00:23:12]  The way the agreements are made with the cable companies, Because you're indebted to them, they're the ones that are paying, you know, $2.25 for each subscriber because they charge the subscriber whatever they charge, and you get a portion of those revenues.
[00:23:26]  As a cable company, that used to be a great way to make business because make money, you would get the cable fees while simultaneously you get the advertising fees.
[00:23:35]  Well, the cable fees are kind of now because everybody wants to be here.
[00:23:41]  Like this is where it's at.
[00:23:42]  Streaming is the future.
[00:23:44]  And that's why the Joe Rogans of the world, even though they can't understand it in mainstream media. they have just taken over because people are cutting the cord.
[00:23:51]  And so the mainstream media is left saying, well, where are we?
[00:23:54]  How are we relevant in this day and age?
[00:23:56]  I mean, after all, we're used to telling everybody what to think, how to think, when to think it.
[00:24:02]  And they admitted it.
[00:24:04]  I love this clip.
[00:24:05]  I love this.
[00:24:06]  This is Mika and Joe back in 2022.
[00:24:08]  And they're talking about how dangerous Donald Trump is and the media that is not them, how dangerous everybody else is because they're supposed to be the ones in charge, right?
[00:24:18]  What are you so surprised about?

=== The Streaming Revolution Takes Over (16:11) ===

[00:24:21]  He's doing exactly what he said he's going to do.
[00:24:25]  Well, and I think that the dangerous edges here are that he's trying to undermine the media, trying to make up his own facts, and it could be that while unemployment and the economy worsens, he could have undermined the messaging so much that he can actually control exactly what people think.
[00:24:47]  And that is our job.
[00:24:48]  Yeah, if you look at the issues.
[00:24:51]  That's your job?
[00:24:52]  Yamish is right.
[00:24:52]  He's doing exactly what he said.
[00:24:54]  It's right.
[00:24:55]  Yeah.
[00:24:57]  He might be able to control what people think, and that's our job.
[00:25:00]  And she gets a chorus of people agreeing with her.
[00:25:03]  I mean, this is why your network's for sale, guys.
[00:25:06]  You know what?
[00:25:06]  People are tired of it.
[00:25:07]  You were like working for an audience of three, maybe Kamala Joe and their campaign chair.
[00:25:12]  Oh, and then a few stragglers that care, but frankly, no one does.
[00:25:17]  I mean, your ratings were bad enough, and now they're down 51%, and then some.
[00:25:20]  Okay.
[00:25:21]  So this is.
[00:25:22]  Something that's sinking, it's sinking fast.
[00:25:24]  The mainstream media is going out of business.
[00:25:26]  You are here on the front lines of history with me in real time.
[00:25:30]  What just happened was a giant F you to the mainstream media.
[00:25:35]  Americans said, we don't like you.
[00:25:37]  We don't like the fact that you have no appreciation for all the challenges we face.
[00:25:43]  We don't like that you're trying to cancel us and our friends and family.
[00:25:46]  This was a real losing, losing proposition.
[00:25:51]  And I knew it would be.
[00:25:52]  Listen, I tend to be right on these things.
[00:25:54]  That's why I want you to go to 76research.com, sign up for our research, make sure you're looking after numero uno.

[00:27:26]  So, Amazon BC is up for sale.
[00:27:31]  And I'm wondering, I'm just wondering if this has anything to do with it.
[00:27:35]  You see, one of their hosts, commentators, anchors, whatever you want to call them, a guy named Reverend Al Sharpton, who's sort of legendary, I think, for being Al Sharpton, which is not a good thing, right?
[00:27:51]  Didn't he have some big tax scandal way back when?
[00:27:54]  Anyway, he's had a few scandals along the way.
[00:27:56]  And one of the latest and greatest happens to be that his organization was paid $250,000 and then another $250,000 by Kamala's campaign just days before he did this little interview with her.
[00:28:10]  And MSNBC now is trying to react to it all.
[00:28:13]  We'll get to that in a second.
[00:28:14]  But keep in mind, he got paid 500 smackaroos, his organization did, just before doing this little movie.
[00:28:21]  Do you think some of the resistance of some men, black and white, is misogynist?
[00:28:26]  And are you proud to see that most Americans, even being polled, have no problem supporting a woman at all?
[00:28:36]  And I'm one that lived from Shirley to Kamala in terms of these campaigns.
[00:28:40]  And I have an emotional reaction to you raising the point of Shirley Chisholm because it is on her broad shoulders that I stand, and so many of us stand.
[00:28:52]  And we have come a long way to your point, and on your specific point about including the fact that I have the support of countless black men who are in elected positions, including just this afternoon and two church visits today with the mayor of Atlanta.
[00:29:11]  That being said, I think that.
[00:29:15]  You are absolutely right that there is this narrative about what kind of support we are receiving.
[00:29:21]  Oh, I got a kid.
[00:29:22]  I'm sorry.
[00:29:23]  I just can't.
[00:29:25]  We dodged a bullet, America.
[00:29:26]  We dodged a bullet.
[00:29:27]  Thank goodness.
[00:29:29]  You know, we have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.
[00:29:32]  Thank goodness she's not the president.
[00:29:34]  But think of these news organizations, these news organizations running this thing.
[00:29:39]  Look at the little bug in the left, left hand corner.
[00:29:42]  I want to show it to you again.
[00:29:43]  It says what?
[00:29:44]  MSNBC exclusive.
[00:29:47]  Do you think some of the resistance of some men, black and white, is misogynist?
[00:29:52]  And are you proud?
[00:29:54]  Okay.
[00:29:55]  So they had their little exclusive that they, what?
[00:29:58]  Somebody paid him 500 grand for?
[00:30:01]  MSNBC's probably mad they weren't getting the cut.
[00:30:03]  They're like, hey, hey, hey, don't we get anything?
[00:30:06]  It's our airtime after all.
[00:30:08]  We do employ you, Rev Sharpton, after all.
[00:30:11]  What's crazy is now they're making this quote unquote shock admission about the 500K.
[00:30:16]  They went totally radio silent.
[00:30:17]  Nobody at MSNBC, none of the PR people would talk about this.
[00:30:22]  And now it's come forward.
[00:30:24]  I mean, it's been a few days, it's been a while since this was all discovered.
[00:30:31]  Because you see, now all the filings have come out and people are going through them and they're learning, oh, you know, a couple million here, a couple million there, 100 grand just to redo the Call Me Daddy set because she didn't want to go to the actual studio.
[00:30:44]  And it turns out there were two numbers 250 times two given to Al Sharpton's nonprofit organization.
[00:30:54]  Right before this little softball interview that happened the week of October 20th.
[00:30:58]  So that's a little sketchy, don't you think?
[00:31:03]  If I'm MSNBC, I fire him now.
[00:31:07]  I fire him because you know what?
[00:31:08]  I mean, unless they just assume that everybody assumes they're so freaking corrupt that it doesn't even matter.
[00:31:15]  I mean, maybe we just assume it's Al Sharpton, so of course you know he's on the take somewhere, somehow, some way.
[00:31:22]  I mean, this is gross.
[00:31:26]  They need to sever the cord.
[00:31:28]  Now, granted, they're getting rid of the whole network, right?
[00:31:32]  The whole kit and caboodle is going bye-bye because of people like this.
[00:31:38]  I'm just wondering how many more are there?
[00:31:41]  Was Joy Reed making money?
[00:31:43]  Were Joe and Mika making money?
[00:31:46]  You know, I think they probably were in sort of intangible ways, maybe lobbying organizations, hiring them to come and speak.
[00:31:54]  I've done a lot of speaking in my career, but you know what?
[00:31:57]  It always said not to do it for lobbying organizations.
[00:32:00]  In other words, I couldn't be out there lobbying on behalf of an organization and get paid for that and then somehow, you know, sneak in in the back door, put them on the air.
[00:32:10]  And my concern is that's actually what was going down.
[00:32:13]  So Al Sharpton's in a little bit of trouble.
[00:32:15]  You know what?
[00:32:16]  MSNBC's in a whole lot of trouble.
[00:32:17]  And this is partly why they're spitting.
[00:32:19]  spitting that network out as soon as they can.
[00:32:22]  They want done.
[00:32:23]  They want to be over with it.
[00:32:25]  They don't want to have the Joy Reads and the Al Sharptons, certainly the Al Sharptons, pulling that right about now.
[00:32:32]  Meanwhile, new questions today about Kamala's campaign money and whether or not donors may have been misled.
[00:32:40]  And do they have any kind of legal recourse?
[00:32:42]  I mean, can you do that?
[00:32:43]  You know, if I were her, I'm just saying she's out with this little new videotape, which is super embarrassing.
[00:32:47]  And, you know, there's been a lot of fun within the AI world because they're they're making her look even worse than she is, but you don't even have to make her look worse.
[00:32:55]  She's just that bad.
[00:32:56]  She's out there, tone deaf, again, bragging about how she raised so much money, one and a half billion dollars, the most ever.
[00:33:04]  To fuel our people powered campaign.
[00:33:11]  And understand that the work that we did included the work that so many of you here did, which is to talk to first time voters.
[00:33:22]  Many of you are first time voters.
[00:33:24]  And to talk about.
[00:33:27]  Okay.
[00:33:28]  So that's like, thank you, thank you.
[00:33:30]  We just, we made history because we raised $1.4 billion, the most money anybody's raised in a campaign.
[00:33:37]  And you failed.
[00:33:39]  You got nothing to show for it.
[00:33:42]  Can you imagine if she was actually running the federal government?
[00:33:45]  Well, I mean, she had a role in that for the last four years and we got nothing to show for it now, do we?
[00:33:50]  So this was her sort of pep talk.
[00:33:52]  She's dressed in like brown.
[00:33:55]  Kind of feels a little communist.
[00:33:58]  I mean, I am in tan today, but it's in honor of Thanksgiving.
[00:34:01]  Anyway, here's the UPS brown suit with Kamala Harris.
[00:34:06]  I just have to remind you don't you ever let anybody take your power from you.
[00:34:13]  You have the same power that you did before November 5th, and you have the same purpose that you did, and you have the same ability to engage and inspire.
[00:34:30]  So, don't ever let anybody or any circumstance take your power from you.
[00:34:38]  I mean, they really let her do it.
[00:34:40]  They let her do that.
[00:34:40]  They let her run for president, number one.
[00:34:44]  And they just, knowing that the entire party feels a little deflated right about now, because apparently Hitler won, they let her come out with that video.
[00:34:54]  So, the internet's having a field day.
[00:34:57]  In some cases, they've slowed down the words even more.
[00:35:00]  So, it sounds that.
[00:35:02]  Like she's really had a tough night.
[00:35:04]  I think i've seen some with a bottle of scotch in in her hand.
[00:35:09]  I mean it's pretty funny they're they're having a good time with it.
[00:35:12]  But I think the reality is this, that's not going to cheer anyone up.
[00:35:15]  That is not a like rah rah rah, let's go get them speech.
[00:35:19]  She's been off in Hawaii on vacation because lord knows she needed a vacation from that campaign that must have taken so much out of her, even though she hardly did any rallies and would be holed up for days, days at a time doing what we don't know.
[00:35:35]  At one point I speculated.
[00:35:36]  I thought she was making commercials because well, they came out with a commercial or two.
[00:35:42]  I mean it was really weird.
[00:35:43]  Like what is she doing?
[00:35:44]  And when people were asked, the comment we got back was, we're asking this?
[00:35:49]  We heard, well she's, she's the vice president and she's running a campaign.
[00:35:54]  So that's why you never see her.
[00:35:57]  Look, the people over on Msnbc right now are so out of it.
[00:36:02]  They're so out of it.
[00:36:03]  Joy Behar being Joy Behar, Joy Read.
[00:36:06]  Why do I get them mixed up, All these joyless people around?
[00:36:10]  Anyway, Joy Reid runs a show there on MSNBC.
[00:36:15]  And according to her guest, Kamala is the best thing the Democrats have.
[00:36:22]  So get ready.
[00:36:23]  She's going to run again in 2028.
[00:36:26]  To which I say, bring it on.
[00:36:28]  Made the most sense.
[00:36:32]  What's interesting is Harris is more popular now than she was before she ran for president.
[00:36:38]  That's not something that typically happens.
[00:36:40]  And when you talk to Democrats, not many of them are blaming her for the loss, right?
[00:36:46]  They know that it was 107 days, and they nitpick about some of the other things, but it wasn't her as a candidate that they weren't impressed by.
[00:36:54]  And so when you look at 2028 and the names that are kind of bounced around, she has the biggest name ID of any of them for obvious reasons.
[00:37:03]  California governor, also on the table.
[00:37:05]  She's wanted that job for a long time.
[00:37:07]  It would be the most power that she's had in elected office, but there is the sense around some of her allies and aides.
[00:37:15]  That it might be a step back, right?
[00:37:16]  Publicly, right?
[00:37:18]  Her as vice president, almost being president, and then going back to be governor of a state.
[00:37:22]  And that's one of the things that they're tussling with right now.
[00:37:27]  And this is why your network is being spun off and its parent, Comcast, wants nothing to do with MSNBC.
[00:37:35]  This is why you might get bought by your nemesis, one Elon Musk.
[00:37:41]  I mean, the stupidity, and they're just trying to sell you more and more.
[00:37:45]  lies.
[00:37:46]  Here's what's amazing, guys.
[00:37:48]  And this is why I ask about the money.
[00:37:49]  We're talking $1.4 billion.
[00:37:52]  Apparently, they still haven't even paid all the vendors to the point where Donald Trump is like, well, you know what?
[00:37:57]  In the spirit of unity, maybe I can help out because we didn't actually spend that much money on the Republican side.
[00:38:02]  We have more left over because we did something called free media.
[00:38:05]  In other words, we didn't pay all our TikTokers to give us endorsements, which is what Gamala's camp did, not to mention not just TikTokers.
[00:38:14]  You had Oprah Wimperry, according to the New York Times, getting 2.5.
[00:38:18]  Million dollars.
[00:38:19]  Now she has denied this, but according to an investigation by the Washington Examiner, there were payments to her production company for $500,000 each times two.
[00:38:30]  So that was a million bucks right ahead of that big streaming event.
[00:38:34]  That honestly, you know what?
[00:38:35]  We get more viewers.
[00:38:36]  We get more on this little show, and I'm not running for president and I'm not Oprah Winfrey.
[00:38:40]  We're getting more viewers than she did in her first whatever four hours out of the gate.
[00:38:46]  It was amazing with Oprah Winfrey.
[00:38:50]  But here's the deal this is what I think we all kind of knew all along because I'd look at these polls and you guys would look at them with me and we're all like, how is she even at 50%?
[00:38:58]  Like, how are these even close?
[00:39:00]  Like, what's going on?
[00:39:01]  Somebody ought to examine these pollsters.
[00:39:04]  Rasmussen loves it, right?
[00:39:05]  Because they're like, see, we were right.
[00:39:07]  We were right.
[00:39:07]  We were right all along.
[00:39:09]  Of course, they weren't even as right as they could have been because this was, if you ask me, one giant landslide.
[00:39:15]  This was a referendum on the horror that we've been experiencing for the last four years.
[00:39:20]  So this is a headline in the New York Post today.
[00:39:23]  Harris Camp's own polling never showed.
[00:39:26]  Vice president leading Trump, team, quote, surprised by reports showing her ahead.
[00:39:32]  This is according to the top advisor.
[00:39:34]  So, this is apparently, you know, David Pluff saying, yeah, they never ever really stood a shot.
[00:39:43]  And I'm just amazed by that because I'm pretty sure I remember him going on to all the news networks, CNN being one in particular, where he said, yeah, we're going to win.
[00:39:55]  We're going to win.
[00:39:55]  We got this thing locked down.
[00:39:56]  Is that because they needed money?
[00:39:58]  Was that what this was about?
[00:40:00]  You know, the 1.4 billion they needed to keep just hoarding money and they wanted to give false hope.
[00:40:05]  I don't know, but I found this little clip.
[00:40:07]  I remember this just like two days before the election.
[00:40:11]  How we think undecideds are breaking, we have a credible pathway to all seven states tomorrow night to go into Kamala Harris's column, but we believe they're all going to be close, right?
[00:40:20]  But you think you could win all seven?
[00:40:23]  Yes.
[00:40:27]  Oh, he could win all seven.
[00:40:29]  Those swing states, those battleground states, they were totally winnable.

=== Setting Up a Real Controversy (15:29) ===

[00:40:33]  I mean, they call them the Blue Wall for a reason, right?
[00:40:36]  So they're all those battleground swing states.
[00:40:39]  That was him just, you know, what, 48 hours before the election?
[00:40:43]  And now he's out singing a totally different tune, saying those states aren't winnable at all.
[00:40:49]  I mean, look, I mean, the Blue Wall was named the Blue Wall for a reason.
[00:40:53]  How can you say that they were never that winnable, David Plough?
[00:40:56]  Some advisor you are.
[00:40:59]  It's always worth reminding people it's really hard for Democrats to win battleground states.
[00:41:05]  Let's look at Pennsylvania 25% of the electorate is liberal, roughly.
[00:41:09]  34% is conservative.
[00:41:10]  By the way, in most battleground states, that conservative number is over 40%.
[00:41:14]  So in every battleground state, there's more conservative than liberals.
[00:41:17]  So in Pennsylvania, if exits are to believe, Trump won conservatives 91.8, Harris won liberals 93.6.
[00:41:24]  Moderates, Harris won 56.43, but you kind of got to win 60% of them.
[00:41:27]  Right?
[00:41:28]  For Democrats, it's a good thing.
[00:41:29]  He goes on to say the math doesn't line up and there's some profanity involved.
[00:41:33]  So I'm getting out early.
[00:41:34]  But the point being, the point being that they now think it's impossible to win blue states.
[00:41:45]  Like these states have been historically blue.
[00:41:48]  And you know why?
[00:41:50]  I'll tell you why it's impossible for them now.
[00:41:52]  Because Donald Trump has just turned blue and red on its head.
[00:41:57]  Think about it.
[00:41:58]  The elites.
[00:42:00]  They used to be seen as conservatives, Republicans, the Democrats were the working class.
[00:42:06]  And somehow everything got inverted, and Donald Trump's out there fighting for the working class.
[00:42:12]  And the Dems, all they care about is their DEI, DEI, DEI nonsense, and their anti Israel nonsense, and their open borders nonsense.
[00:42:22]  And let's just give out handouts like they were doing up until a couple of weeks ago in New York City free food, free little credit cards so that you could go in and buy $350 worth of food every single week.
[00:42:36]  Plus a six, seven month hotel stay with daily maid service?
[00:42:41]  I mean, this is not the party of working America.
[00:42:46]  This is the party of Hollywood elites.
[00:42:48]  This is the party of business elites that are clearly clueless and forgot how they got there.
[00:42:54]  And so all of this has shifted in real time and it's sort of fascinating to watch.
[00:42:58]  So now, David Bluff, he's up a creek without a paddle because he ran the Obama campaign.
[00:43:03]  He was a senior advisor to Kamala.
[00:43:05]  I think he had a big hand.
[00:43:08]  Along with maybe David Axelrod, the Davids at work, they're getting Kamala into the seat, and then they realize they got themselves a bum candidate, a totally bum candidate because they don't understand what matters anymore.
[00:43:21]  Now, do they?
[00:43:21]  I mean, they just don't understand.
[00:43:23]  That's it?
[00:43:25]  Carvel.
[00:43:27]  They should have gotten Carvel involved way earlier on because he's a Democrat from, yes, your father's Democrat Party that still understands what matters to the working class.
[00:43:38]  And it's not all this CRAP that the 22 and 23 year olds on the Kamala campaign thought were relevant.
[00:43:45]  I mean, she didn't even go to the Al Smith dinner.
[00:43:46]  The Al Smith dinner is like an institution, it's a Catholic charity.
[00:43:49]  Everyone does it in the city of New York.
[00:43:52]  Everyone goes, both sides.
[00:43:54]  The only other candidate that didn't go was Walter Mondale.
[00:43:56]  And you know how that one ended.
[00:43:58]  Thank you very much.
[00:43:59]  I mean, it's like Reagan all over again.
[00:44:00]  Here's the Raging Cajun, as my former colleague Jesse Wilders likes to call him.
[00:44:05]  The Raging Cajun's frothing at the mouth like a rabid raccoon.
[00:44:09]  He's letting the Kamala campaign have it for appeasing woke millennial interns.
[00:44:13]  Watch.
[00:44:14]  Not only am I not interested in your opinion, I'm not even going to call you by your name.
[00:44:21]  You're 23 years old.
[00:44:23]  I don't really give a what you think.
[00:44:26]  And let me tell you another.
[00:44:28]  Huge error, huge error to make is when people said campaigns need to reflect progressive values.
[00:44:37]  No, they don't.
[00:44:39]  No, they don't.
[00:44:40]  If I were running a 2028 campaign and I had some little snot nosed 23 year old saying, I'm going to resign if you don't do this, not only would I fire that mother on the spot, I would find out who hired them and fire that person on the spot.
[00:44:58]  I'm really not interested.
[00:45:00]  In your uninformed, stupid, jacked opinion.
[00:45:05]  Democrats got lucky with the pandemic.
[00:45:06]  That's great.
[00:45:06]  That's great.
[00:45:07]  Maybe Trump needs to recruit him.
[00:45:12]  Like, look, he gets it, right?
[00:45:12]  These jacked ahhhhs that we totally didn't on the Kamala campaign.
[00:45:21]  It's wild to me.
[00:45:21]  Like, sometimes I'm like, am I living in some kind of alternative universe?
[00:45:24]  I mean, I've always been right of center, but I wouldn't think I was extreme right, but apparently I am because, you know, I don't think you should debate what gender you are.
[00:45:31]  I don't think we have 250.
[00:45:33]  Some odd genders, as the BBC would like to tell us.
[00:45:36]  I don't think that this should even be a topic of conversation.
[00:45:39]  I'm sorry.
[00:45:39]  You know what, Leah Thomas?
[00:45:41]  Get your own lane.
[00:45:42]  Like, and suddenly I'm the crazy one.
[00:45:44]  I'm the one who's somehow alt right.
[00:45:45]  This is nuts.
[00:45:47]  And so, James Carville, he gets it.
[00:45:50]  All of America gets it.
[00:45:51]  And by the way, the kids get it.
[00:45:53]  The kids get it because they are watching alternative media, not the mainstream media.
[00:45:59]  Little plug for the shop if you're doing your Christmas shopping this weekend, go check out trishregan.shop.
[00:46:04]  Trishregan.shop.
[00:46:04]  You can get your live free or die mug.
[00:46:07]  Drink your coffee every morning knowing that you're celebrating freedom.
[00:46:11]  You're helping the show.
[00:46:12]  Trish Regan.shop today.
[00:46:14]  I mean, I just look at what they're doing, though, right now, and I kind of question, are Democrats trying to set us up for some kind of civil war?
[00:46:20]  Is that the idea?
[00:46:21]  Is that how they keep this thing going?
[00:46:22]  They keep the campaign contributions going in with Letitia James and others saying junk like this?
[00:46:27]  I will not fear Donald Trump.
[00:46:29]  I have steel in my backbone.
[00:46:31]  And the reality is I will not allow this person, Donald Trump, who unfortunately is a broken man, to get in the way of progress and to separate.
[00:46:42]  So we're hearing that sentiment echoed throughout the country.
[00:46:45]  You have the governor of Massachusetts, who oddly grew up in my hometown and went to high school with my sister, by the way.
[00:46:52]  The Democrat, Moore Healy, there in Massachusetts, is insisting that she's going to not aid federal law enforcement in the event they try to move people who are undocumented out of the country.
[00:47:06]  You have the Denver, Colorado mayor saying, absolutely not.
[00:47:10]  You know what?
[00:47:11]  He'd go to jail before that happens to which.
[00:47:13]  Tom Homan's having a little bit of fun.
[00:47:15]  Don't forget who Tom Homan is, by the way.
[00:47:17]  Tom Homan, total badass, remember?
[00:47:21]  First of all, your comments are disgusting.
[00:47:24]  I've served my country for 34 years.
[00:47:27]  I find your comments disgusting as well.
[00:47:30]  I've served my country for 34 years.
[00:47:32]  And yes, I held a five year old boy in my arms and backed that tractor trailer.
[00:47:36]  I knelt down beside him and said a prayer for him because I knew what his last 30 minutes of his life were like.
[00:47:41]  And I had a five year old son at the time.
[00:47:43]  What I've been trying to do in my 34 years serving my nation is to save lives.
[00:47:48]  So, for you to sit there and insult my integrity and my love for my country and for children, that's why this whole thing needs to be fixed.
[00:47:57]  And you're the member for that.
[00:47:58]  We agree on that.
[00:47:59]  Fix it.
[00:47:59]  We agree on that.
[00:48:00]  But I disagree with your characterization of immigrant as a problem.
[00:48:06]  I've been in the United States for three decades on this show.
[00:48:09]  Look, you want to know why there are 50,000 people in detention?
[00:48:11]  You want to know why we have 1 million illegal entries in the United States?
[00:48:14]  You want to know how to have these issues?
[00:48:15]  Because you have failed to secure the border.
[00:48:17]  You have failed to work with this president.
[00:48:19]  To close the three loopholes we've asked for two years to close.
[00:48:22]  So, if you want to know why this issue exists, you need to look in the mirror.
[00:48:25]  You have failed American people for not securing the border and closing loopholes.
[00:48:29]  Mr. Homan, please respect the chair and the authority of the chair.
[00:48:34]  The time of the gentleman has expired.
[00:48:37]  I've asked you politely to let me go beyond my time, and you let other people go beyond their time, but not to Tom Homan.
[00:48:42]  He doesn't get me to go beyond his time.
[00:48:44]  Mr. Homan, we have approved an agreement between the Republicans and the Democrats with the ranking member.
[00:48:52]  We increase the time of one witness, one member of Congress who was interrupted by a protest.
[00:48:58]  That is done with the approval of the ranking member.
[00:49:02]  Please respect the chair's authority.
[00:49:04]  I respect the chair's authority, but the chair.
[00:49:06]  Mr. Holman.
[00:49:07]  You work for me.
[00:49:08]  I'm a taxpayer.
[00:49:11]  Oh!
[00:49:13]  Okay.
[00:49:13]  I'm a taxpayer, he says.
[00:49:14]  You work for me.
[00:49:16]  And this is the guy in charge of the border.
[00:49:19]  So when all of these.
[00:49:22]  People and state representatives and mayors and governors around the country start to say, Hey, we're not going to allow for this.
[00:49:32]  We're going to get in the way of the federal government.
[00:49:35]  Tom Homan has a message for them, a big one.
[00:49:39]  Listen, this was on Hannity the other night.
[00:49:42]  Tom, you heard this mayor out there in Colorado.
[00:49:48]  I want to get your reaction to it.
[00:49:50]  And I want you to be clear about who has jurisdiction the federal government or state and local governments.
[00:49:55]  And if you're a sanctuary state or city, are you breaking the law?
[00:50:01]  You're absolutely breaking the law.
[00:50:02]  All you have to do is look at Arizona versus U.S., and you'll see these breaking the law.
[00:50:06]  But look, me and the Denver mayor, we agree on one thing.
[00:50:08]  He's willing to go to jail.
[00:50:10]  I'm willing to put him in jail.
[00:50:12]  Because there's a statute.
[00:50:14]  It's Title VIII, United States Code 1324, Triple I.
[00:50:17]  And what it says is You got that right.
[00:50:19]  He's willing to go to jail.
[00:50:21]  I'm willing to put him in.
[00:50:22]  It's a felony if you knowingly harbor and conceal illegal immigration authorities.
[00:50:27]  Is also a family to impede a federal law enforcement officer.
[00:50:30]  So if we don't want to help, that's fine.
[00:50:31]  He can get the hell out of the way.
[00:50:32]  But we're going to go do the job.
[00:50:34]  President Trump has a mandate for American people.
[00:50:36]  We've got to secure this country.
[00:50:38]  We've got to save American lives.
[00:50:39]  And I find it shocking that any mayor of a city would say, President Trump's been clear, we want to concentrate on public safety threats and national security threats.
[00:50:47]  I find it hard to believe that any mayor or governor would say they don't want public safety threats removed from their neighborhoods.
[00:50:52]  I mean, I don't know what the hell is going on in Denver, but.
[00:50:54]  This is setting up, obviously, a real controversy here.
[00:50:57]  And this is state versus federal.
[00:50:58]  I've done a lot of work on this.
[00:51:00]  In my past, and I actually think that bottom line federal law is going to kind of trump what these states want.
[00:51:08]  And I think that that's, well, I mean, we'll see, right?
[00:51:12]  We'll see because I suspect that this will become a court battle.
[00:51:15]  But you heard Tom, and it kind of echoes what Mike Davis said the other day, the attorney that represents Donald Trump in that case against Leticia James.
[00:51:25]  And he kind of said, hey, you know, look, lady will put your fat, you know what, back in prison.
[00:51:30]  or in prison pretty soon if you keep this up.
[00:51:33]  I think we are being set up guys, for a challenging time, which is why all the more reason why it's great news that Pam Bondi is in the seat there as attorney general and, of course, you saw the NIH new director just a phenomenal guy.
[00:51:48]  He's both a health expert and also an economist.
[00:51:53]  Imagine that having like somebody come at it from both angles, who was very much an opponent of those lockdowns, as was yours truly back in the day in 2020, saying, you know, we really needed to go about it a different way.
[00:52:05]  He's now head of NIH.
[00:52:06]  So, some good things for sure are happening.
[00:52:08]  And I think we're going to start to see major, major, major changes.
[00:52:12]  But over on MSNBC, they're really worried about whether or not they're going to be able to have their avocado toast.
[00:52:20]  Because, you know, Alexandra Ocasio Cortez, she likes her avocado toast.
[00:52:25]  And all those Democrat lawmakers, they like their avocado toast.
[00:52:27]  And what's going to happen if you can't get the guacamole?
[00:52:30]  I mean, you're going to have some kind of guacamole tax if you have all these tariffs, right?
[00:52:32]  If all these tariffs, as Donald Trump would like to see, really do go in and he's talking 25% on the goods coming in from Mexico unless Mexico figures out its little border situation and actually shows some good faith interest in cooperating with us.
[00:52:47]  Well, we're going to have what Chuck Todd calls the guacamole tax.
[00:52:51]  I didn't even realize he was still on TV.
[00:52:53]  And by the way, just to simplify this, we're talking about tariffs, but let me make this pretty simple.
[00:52:57]  If this slaps on, it's a guacamole tax.
[00:53:01]  We get most avocados in this country come from Mexico.
[00:53:04]  If you enjoy guacamole, be prepared to pay a higher tax for it if these tariffs go through.
[00:53:12]  Oh, gosh, what are we going to do?
[00:53:15]  It's going to cost a lot for the guacamole.
[00:53:18]  Oh, boy.
[00:53:18]  You know what?
[00:53:19]  We'll live.
[00:53:19]  Anyway, this is what Donald Trump put out just the other day.
[00:53:22]  He was talking about how, you know, look, we've got real problems here, obviously, with China vis a vis the fentanyl that's coming into the country.
[00:53:30]  Real problems in terms of the border.
[00:53:32]  We've got the fentanyl coming up through the border.
[00:53:35]  Incidentally, It echoes back to sort of an inverted version of the opium wars.
[00:53:40]  Remember back years ago, I mean, you go all the way back to the Ming dynasty, they got some sore memories of this one in China when Westerners, primarily Europeans, would actually trade there in China and they would bring in opium, which the population was addicted to, and they would continue to do it even though the dynasties were saying, Mings were like, nope, nope, nope, don't bring it.
[00:54:02]  And the Westerners did it anyway.
[00:54:04]  It's kind of weird.
[00:54:05]  It's like this inverted situation where now, You've got fentanyl, which sadly too many Americans have been addicted to, become addicted to, coming up.
[00:54:14]  It's coming vis-a-vis China up through Mexico.
[00:54:18]  So anyway, Donald Trump's like, okay, you're all unnoticed.
[00:54:21]  We're talking 25% you're going to have to pay.
[00:54:25]  And somebody noticed, one Trudeau up in Canada, he kind of noticed.
[00:54:33]  I think he's going to try and do a little bit more vis-a-vis his border, which, by the way, he should.
[00:54:37]  It's not as big a deal just yet.
[00:54:40]  Compared and contrast to Mexico, but hey, the Canadians get it.
[00:54:46]  I had a good call with Donald Trump last night again.
[00:54:52]  We obviously talked about laying out the facts, talking about how the intense and effective connections between our two countries flow back and forth.
[00:55:03]  We talked about some of the challenges that we can work on together.
[00:55:06]  It was a good call.
[00:55:08]  This is something that we can do.
[00:55:13]  Laying out the facts.
[00:55:15]  Moving forward in constructive ways.
[00:55:17]  This is a relationship that we know takes a certain amount of working on, and that's what we'll do.
[00:55:23]  One of the really important things is that we be all pulling together on this.
[00:55:28]  The Team Canada approach is what works.
[00:55:31]  That's where, putting aside partisanship, that's where I reached out immediately to Doug Ford to agree with him that we would have a First Minister's meeting this week to talk about the United States, talked with Francois Legault and some other premiers as well.
[00:55:46]  There's work to do, but we know how to do it.
[00:55:49]  J'ai eu un bon appel avec Donald Trump hier soir.
[00:55:52]  Okay.
[00:55:53]  Yeah, he's speaking French.
[00:55:56]  Reminds me, Kamala, she was raised in Montreal, where they speak French.

=== Paying More for Tomato Security (06:07) ===

[00:56:02]  Just another reason why she just never, ever, ever would have worked.
[00:56:05]  Okay?
[00:56:06]  Like, we dodged a bullet, America.
[00:56:08]  Lots to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.
[00:56:11]  Anyway, down in Mexico, they're not receiving this news of the tariffs quite as well.
[00:56:16]  Claudia Scheinbaum, who is a lefty, if there ever was a lefty, trying to say she's going to fight back with more tariffs.
[00:56:21]  Good luck, lady.
[00:56:23]  Good luck.
[00:56:25]  President Trump.
[00:56:25]  President Trump, neither threats nor tariffs are the way to address the migration phenomenon or drug consumption in the United States.
[00:56:35]  It requires cooperation and reciprocal understanding of these great challenges.
[00:56:41]  One tariff will be followed by another in response, and so on until we put common enterprises at risk.
[00:56:48]  I am convinced that the economic frontier of North America, that the economic strength of North America lies in maintaining our trading.
[00:56:58]  Partnership.
[00:57:00]  That way we can remain more competitive with other economic blocs.
[00:57:04]  Okay.
[00:57:04]  And what you see happening right now is everybody's going on to MSNBC, and, you know, some like Chuck Todd are complaining that avocado prices are going to go up and they can't have their avocado toast and so much for guacamole.
[00:57:17]  It's a guacamole tax.
[00:57:19]  Others are saying, hey, you know, this is like Smoot Holly all over again, which is a reference to the tariffs in the 1930s, which many say contributed to the discord in the world.
[00:57:29]  Thereby setting the groundwork for that World War Ii scenario.
[00:57:33]  I'm just going to say you know what?
[00:57:35]  It's about time that somebody actually prioritized American jobs, our border and American success, because every other country has tariffs.
[00:57:45]  You want to buy an American car or an American product?
[00:57:49]  They're going to throw a bunch of tariffs on it.
[00:57:50]  We don't do that to them.
[00:57:52]  So in terms of reciprocity hey, maybe we get a little bit too right.
[00:57:56]  You guys want to tax us, but we don't tax you.
[00:57:58]  I don't think it's very fair.
[00:57:59]  Meanwhile yes, you are taking our job And you are stealing, in many cases, our technology.
[00:58:07]  And guess what?
[00:58:07]  Our corporations are so dumb they go along with it all because they don't care.
[00:58:11]  They just care about quarterly earnings.
[00:58:12]  CEOs just want to get more market share and get the cheapest labor and have the best, biggest market to sell their products.
[00:58:19]  They're not thinking about what's actually healthy for the country and what's good for America in the long run.
[00:58:24]  That's where the government's supposed to come in.
[00:58:25]  But unfortunately, you get so much money tied up with the government and so many lobbyists that nobody's actually prioritizing the people.
[00:58:33]  Certainly not.
[00:58:34]  The middle class.
[00:58:35]  And this is why it's all shifting in real time.
[00:58:37]  This is why David Pluff, to quote him from earlier, the Kamala Harris campaign advisor says, Gosh, we can't win the blue states anymore.
[00:58:44]  We can't win those battleground states because there is no one that actually buys what you and Kamala and Biden and whoever else are selling.
[00:58:56]  That's the reality.
[00:58:57]  You know, my former colleague over on Fox, David Asman, he put it well because he said, Listen, Americans are willing to pay more for tomatoes.
[00:59:04]  We'll pay more for tomatoes if it means security.
[00:59:09]  We've had four years of just talking, no action from the Biden administration.
[00:59:14]  What has that produced?
[00:59:15]  The biggest increase in immigration in American history, terrible, terrible problems with fentanyl from China, et cetera.
[00:59:22]  We had one term of Trump already.
[00:59:25]  We know what that produced action.
[00:59:27]  It produced getting a clear trade deal on migration with Mexico.
[00:59:33]  Remain in Mexico worked, it cut migration down incredibly.
[00:59:37]  We had a deal with China.
[00:59:38]  It got them to buy more produce from the United States eventually and got a lot of tariff money.
[00:59:44]  So we've been there before.
[00:59:46]  We've done this.
[00:59:46]  And Americans decided they would go with the trade off of the fear of a little higher prices on Mexican tomatoes for the sake of getting rid of our terrible migrant crisis.
[00:59:57]  Yeah.
[00:59:58]  Okay.
[00:59:58]  So you're going to pay more for tomatoes, and the avocado toast is going to be at more of a premium than it already was.
[01:00:05]  And I think everybody's okay with it.
[01:00:07]  I think they voted for this.
[01:00:09]  You got it?
[01:00:10]  So I was on Newsmax yesterday with one of my good friends over there and Rob Finnerty on his program and this came up and he was citing Trump's art of the deal and saying, you know, maybe he's actually just asking for too much.
[01:00:22]  And it's entirely possible.
[01:00:23]  Don't get me wrong.
[01:00:24]  Yes, it's a negotiation strategy.
[01:00:26]  But what I would just remind everybody of is that even if he's shooting for the moon there, we ought to be willing to put our money where our mouth is.
[01:00:35]  In other words, how important is security to you?
[01:00:39]  I should ask this question.
[01:00:40]  You can let me know in the chats or you can let me know if you're watching this on playback.
[01:00:44]  If you're not watching live, let me know in the comments below.
[01:00:46]  Would you be willing to pay more for your avocados and more for your tomatoes if it meant having a secure border?
[01:00:55]  Because this is the kind of stuff that Donald Trump can actually do right now.
[01:00:58]  He's looking at the tools in his tool book and he's got some financial tools by way of tariffs that he could implement.
[01:01:06]  And sure, okay, we would take a hit.
[01:01:09]  In the near term, because prices would go up on some things eventually.
[01:01:12]  A lot of economists argue that they would level out and you find new markets, etc.
[01:01:17]  But I think that's something i'm willing, you know, and look, you know, maybe you know I have a different life than a lot of people, but I I do think that the border security is of the utmost importance and I think this is what people voted for and this is what people want, and I do believe they're willing to take.
[01:01:37]  Heck, you know, higher prices listen, guys.
[01:01:40]  I mean, aren't tomato prices already up significantly?
[01:01:43]  We're already dealing with all kinds of crazy increases in inflation.
[01:01:48]  I think if people got something for it, they'd feel a little bit better.
[01:01:51]  Just saying, just saying.
[01:01:52]  Speaking of inflation, one of the ways to best hedge inflation is through investing in gold.

[01:02:26]  Listen, this is a lot of stuff going on right about now.
[01:02:31]  A lot of stuff going on.
[01:02:32]  And I will just say that there's a reason this election happened.
[01:02:39]  And it's because people are really sick of the woke nonsense.
[01:02:45]  That is really evident, which is why I was sort of surprised to see this one just yesterday.
[01:02:49]  Sharon Stone's over in Italy at the Torino Film Festival.
[01:02:54]  And she has to make it known that she's not like one of those ugly Americans.
[01:02:59]  No, no, no.
[01:02:59]  She's so much more highfalutin, you know, with her two seconds of fame.
[01:03:03]  What was that movie?
[01:03:05]  Basic.
[01:03:06]  I almost said idiot.
[01:03:09]  You know, Sharon Stone.
[01:03:11]  So, yeah, she had one little scene in a movie that somehow catapulted her to fame.
[01:03:16]  And where'd she go to school?
[01:03:18]  Some Western Pennsylvania, college.
[01:03:21]  I mean, nothing against where she went to school.
[01:03:25]  But my gosh, you'd think this woman had a PhD from Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, the way she's talking about how dumb all those Americans are.
[01:03:33]  I mean, gosh, they don't even have a passport.
[01:03:35]  Headlines picked this one up.
[01:03:36]  It's everywhere.
[01:03:37]  Here's the Fox headline it was in USA Today.
[01:03:40]  In Newsweek, Sharon Stone chastises ignorant, arrogant Americans in rant against fascism.
[01:03:47]  Oh, we're now in fascism, says Sharon Stone.
[01:03:49]  Listen, I cannot do this justice.
[01:03:52]  Listen, she's painful to listen to.
[01:03:54]  She doesn't look like she used to, but just bear with me because you need to hear it.
[01:03:59]  I mean, this woman is just, the disdain in her voice is so abundant and so clear, and it's just gross.
[01:04:07]  And this is what Americans are rebelling against, all of it.
[01:04:11]  You know, Italy has seen fascism.
[01:04:17]  Italy has seen these things.
[01:04:21]  You guys, you understand what happens.
[01:04:26]  You have seen this before.
[01:04:28]  My country is in its adolescence.
[01:04:32]  Adolescence is very arrogant, adolescence thinks it knows everything.
[01:04:39]  Adolescence is naive and ignorant and arrogant.
[01:04:43]  And we are in our ignorant, arrogant adolescence.
[01:04:48]  We haven't seen this before in our country.
[01:04:51]  So, Americans who don't travel, who 80% don't have a passport, who are uneducated, are in their extraordinary naivete.
[01:05:07]  What I can say is that the only way that we can help with these issues is to help each other.
[01:05:17]  Now, we can't just say that women should help women because that's the only way we have survived so far.
[01:05:26]  We must say that good men must help good men, and those good men must be very aware that a lot of your friends are not good men.
[01:05:41]  And you can't continue to pretend that your friends are good men when they are not good men.
[01:05:51]  And you must be very clear minded.
[01:05:55]  Okay.
[01:05:56]  And understand that your friends who are now.
[01:05:59]  I'm sorry.
[01:05:59]  I didn't mean to torture you so much with Sharon Stout.
[01:06:02]  One of the comments was just terrific.
[01:06:03]  You know, she's about as relevant as your VCR.
[01:06:06]  I'm sorry.
[01:06:09]  She's given us the whole song and dance that Joy Reed just gave us, is she not?
[01:06:13]  Somehow, you know, these people can't be your good friends if they're voting for this.
[01:06:17]  Do we have to go there again?
[01:06:20]  We have to go there again, apparently, that that's where she's taken us.
[01:06:24]  Thank you very much, Sharon Stone.

=== When Woke Police Go After Comedians (03:31) ===

[01:06:26]  This woman doesn't get it.
[01:06:28]  Hollywood doesn't get it.
[01:06:29]  Alec Baldwin, also at the same event with her, doubling down on this stuff.
[01:06:34]  These people don't get it.
[01:06:37]  They are part of the reason that Kamala lost.
[01:06:40]  When Lizzo gets up there, whom I'm sure was paid some kind of grand fee to go to Detroit and say how she was friends with Kamala and wanted Kamala to win, when she gets up there and says, America needs to be like Detroit.
[01:06:54]  Oh boy, right?
[01:06:55]  When the View keeps telling us how heinous Donald Trump is, oh boy.
[01:07:00]  When Sharon Stone's coming out of the woodwork to rant against anybody who would ever support Trump, oh boy.
[01:07:09]  Meanwhile, they're completely killing their own industry.
[01:07:11]  If AI doesn't take over all of acting, I'll tell you, the woke police will make sure that none of them have careers.
[01:07:20]  Ben Stiller admitting as much.
[01:07:22]  Here we go.
[01:07:23]  Ben Stiller says, woke America killed edgier comedy.
[01:07:26]  There's no more comedy now.
[01:07:27]  How can there be comedy?
[01:07:29]  There can't be any comedy because the woke police won't allow it.
[01:07:35]  And he's admitting this.
[01:07:36]  Ben Stiller admitting that, you know, this movie that he made back in 2008 called Tropic Thunder, I did not see.
[01:07:41]  I did not see, and I'm not going to see, but apparently it was so funny because, you know, somebody was dressed as though they were the pigmentation alteration to portray a black soldier in a film.
[01:07:54]  Robert Downey Jr. was.
[01:07:55]  And that couldn't get done today, apparently.
[01:07:57]  In fact, everybody's still upset.
[01:08:00]  In today's terms, about this movie, the woke police have gone after him for this.
[01:08:04]  And he said the idea of Robert playing that character, who's playing an African American character, I mean, it's incredibly dicey.
[01:08:10]  Even at the time, Stiller said, of course, it was dicey too.
[01:08:13]  The only reason we attempted it was that it felt like a joke.
[01:08:16]  And the joke was very clear in terms of who that joke was on.
[01:08:18]  The joke was on actors trying to do anything to win awards.
[01:08:23]  But guess what?
[01:08:24]  The joke's on them now.
[01:08:26]  The joke is entirely on them because they can't make the films anymore because nobody can take a joke.
[01:08:31]  And yet he was supporting Kamala anyway.
[01:08:32]  Here he is a couple days.
[01:08:34]  Before actually, this is before just the uh the election, this was this actually may have been right after the convention.
[01:08:41]  Here we go.
[01:08:42]  Just a quick question why you came and what you like about Harris' platform.
[01:08:46]  Just very excited about moving forward and uh all the uh energy and excitement that's around uh this movement right now.
[01:08:53]  So that's why I'm here because uh it's you know time for change and it seems like it's happening.
[01:08:59]  You think she'll be able to sustain the momentum post convention for sure.
[01:09:03]  You think the race is going to be close?
[01:09:04]  It's going to be close, but you know everybody's motivated to work to make it happen.
[01:09:08]  So and she's uh And she and Tim Walz are just incredible candidates.
[01:09:14]  Which is why he's not going to be, he's not going to, you know, say, Oh, you're with a white guy, I'm going to keep you from being deported.
[01:09:24]  No, he's going to deport you and put the white guy with someone else.
[01:09:27]  The man is out there.
[01:09:28]  He's also kind of.
[01:09:30]  I should add that Whoopi Goldberg was on set on her show right after that comedian was skewered at Madison Square Garden saying that she had fought hard so that comedians couldn't say things like that anymore.
[01:09:45]  He was making fun of her.
[01:09:46]  Front of various groups, and oftentimes that's what comedians do, and it gets a laugh out of people, and that's not allowed anymore.
[01:09:55]  That's just not allowed.

=== Walmart and the American Dream (05:46) ===

[01:09:57]  And so, something has been lost.
[01:09:59]  I mean, think about the Babbly on Bee, right?
[01:10:01]  Our friends over at the Babbly on Bee, a great team over there, super funny, and they got their Twitter account shut down.
[01:10:08]  In fact, one of the reasons that Elon actually went and bought allegedly Twitter, and Seth will tell you this story, Seth Dillon, who runs it, a friend of mine, he, you know they, they.
[01:10:17]  They got shut down because at one point they were in so much trouble, including with not just Twitter but also Facebook, because apparently they put a picture of a washing machine and said something about the spin cycle.
[01:10:28]  They were making fun of media and they got in trouble for it.
[01:10:31]  Like there's no sense of humor right now, because the woke police have seen that we can't have a sense of humor.
[01:10:37]  Well, I think that's going to start to change.
[01:10:39]  I mean, the handwriting is on the wall.
[01:10:40]  Consider what Walmart just did.
[01:10:41]  Walmart, ladies and gentlemen, followed the path of Boeing, did what Disney needs to do, it got rid of its DEI department.
[01:10:50]  The whole thing Gone.
[01:10:52]  No more diversity, equity, and inclusion preferences over at Walmart.
[01:10:55]  They are no longer at Walmart going to buy your widgets just because you are a minority, which, by the way, I'm pretty sure is unconstitutional.
[01:11:04]  Like showing preference to somebody and not somebody else because of the color of their skin.
[01:11:09]  Just saying.
[01:11:10]  Didn't the Supreme Court decide that one, right?
[01:11:12]  With Harvard, thank you very much.
[01:11:14]  Anyway, the CEO of Walmart went on to CBS News to explain the decision.
[01:11:18]  Here we go.
[01:11:20]  What I'm reading in today's Wall Street Journal about how Walmart is.
[01:11:23]  Pulling back on diversity, equity, and inclusion programs under pressure from a conservative activist.
[01:11:30]  So, a few of the changes here phasing out the term DEI, winding down the Center for Racial Equity, no longer giving priority treatment to suppliers based on race or gender diversity, and preventing sellers from listing some transgender related or themed items on the website.
[01:11:49]  So, is that accurate from what you're hearing?
[01:11:51]  And why the changes?
[01:11:54]  Well, first of all, good morning and thanks for having me.
[01:11:56]  It's great to be here.
[01:11:57]  I'm in Houston, Texas, and our friends with location, so it's exciting to be in the store this time of year.
[01:12:02]  First, let me say like many companies all across the United States, we've been on a journey and we continue to be on a journey.
[01:12:10]  And what we're trying to do is to ensure that every customer, every associate feels welcome here to shop and to feel like they belong.
[01:12:18]  And that term belong, we've been talking about belonging now.
[01:12:21]  For almost two years, early 2023, we started talking about belonging.
[01:12:25]  And we're going to continue to make the best decisions we can that makes everyone, our customers, our associates, feel like this is an environment they can shop in and thrive in.
[01:12:36]  And they're going to eat Target's lunch.
[01:12:39]  I mean, the same store sales came out the other day.
[01:12:41]  Target's like this.
[01:12:42]  Walmart's like this.
[01:12:43]  So it's not that you can't blame the economy on this one Target.
[01:12:46]  It's actually just that nobody likes shopping at your store anymore.
[01:12:49]  After you doubled down on all that wokeness, I mean, Walmart was doing it behind the scenes, I guess.
[01:12:53]  I didn't realize they had a DEI center.
[01:12:55]  I didn't realize that they were putting preference to people who checked off a certain number of boxes in terms of who could actually sell at their store.
[01:13:02]  I mean, that's sort of wild, right?
[01:13:04]  Let's get back to basics.
[01:13:05]  Let's get back to a real meritocracy, something that we can all understand and believe in.
[01:13:11]  I mean, this is what the American dream is, is it not?
[01:13:14]  As we come up on this Thanksgiving holiday, happy Thanksgiving.
[01:13:18]  Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.
[01:13:20]  I mean, think about what we have to be thankful for.
[01:13:24]  We do have a system.
[01:13:27]  That was built on capitalism, that was built on a meritocracy, all of which means you know what?
[01:13:35]  You work hard, you put in some sweat equity, and yeah, you get a little bit lucky.
[01:13:41]  You come out the other end with success, however you determine that success to be.
[01:13:47]  That's what the American dream is.
[01:13:49]  That's what we have.
[01:13:50]  That's what no one else has.
[01:13:52]  That's why everybody keeps coming here.
[01:13:54]  This is what we need to be thankful for that the American dream.
[01:13:59]  Has a shot at being preserved because Americans didn't want to see it trampled on and destroyed by the insanity of the left.
[01:14:09]  And it is insane.
[01:14:11]  And you know what?
[01:14:11]  The pendulum always swings, as they say, and we're coming right back down to the middle of the road, to the center, where everybody should get an equal shot.
[01:14:22]  Dare I say, regardless of their skin color, ethnicity, sex, et cetera, these people, This is how crazy they said.
[01:14:31]  Okay, well, if you don't see color, then somehow you're the racist.
[01:14:34]  Of course, if you see color, then you're the racist.
[01:14:36]  You want to talk about putting a population of people tied up in knots?
[01:14:39]  We are done with that.
[01:14:41]  We're done with it.
[01:14:42]  Walmart just got rid of DEI and done with its diversity, equity, inclusion center.
[01:14:47]  Harvard University can no longer admit people just because of the color of their skin.
[01:14:51]  I do think that's going to continue to escalate and we're going to continue to see problems there.
[01:14:55]  But I think overall, what this election told you and what we should all be thankful for right now.
[01:15:03]  Is that we are America and we are Americans first, and Americans believe in equal opportunity.
[01:15:11]  We believe that hard work leads to prosperity, and nothing's going to change that.
[01:15:18]  They cannot take that away from the United States of America.
[01:15:24]  It's great to see you all.
[01:15:26]  I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful Thanksgiving.
