Fox Sports Future Threat00:14:42
Is this the end of Fox as we know it?
Very well could be.
Huge legal drama that you probably haven't heard about going on behind the scenes that really threatens the future and the conservative integrity of Fox News.
I've got all the details on this.
Plus, Letitia James, she's out there firing back as only Letitia can, trying to insist that somehow this case is going to go forward and somehow she's going to be able to get some, what, $500 million out of one Donald Trump?
For the people of New York.
This is unbelievable, guys.
Wait till you hear about that.
Plus, new developments in the case of the 26 year old who murdered, horrific story, murdered the CEO of United Healthcare.
There's a reporter that used to work for the Washington Post that then went to work at Vox that somehow is involved in this in some way, shape, or form.
She was like one of his first followers on Twitter.
And so I want to dig a little bit deeper into that.
fired from Washington Post.
Now she's seemingly fired from Vox after her latest comments.
We'll get into all of it.
Welcome to the big show, everyone.
I am Trish Reagan.
It is so good to have you here.
Make sure you subscribe, share, like, all that good stuff.
We begin today on the news coming out of Fox News.
Fox News being the story.
You see, Rupert Murdoch, he would be the patriarch.
He would be the guy who built the entire thing, right?
Had the idea and the vision, well, alongside one Roger Ailes to build Fox News.
He, is kind of up a creek without a pal, because you see, he doesn't have any heirs that can carry on the conservative tradition.
He has one, but one is not going to do it for him.
You see, Lachlan is not enough because the way he had orchestrated his will etc.
For one day when he dies and let's face it, the guy's up there, he's some 93 years old he had given four of his children I think he has six.
He has two girls by Wendy Dang.
He gave four of the children voting rights in FOX, THE Corporation, and three of the four children you know they're all Libs, So that's not going to go over so well.
So he wanted to make sure that Lachlan would actually be able to have all voting rights going forward because in his thinking that would be the best thing for the business.
But that's not what's coming to pass.
In fact, this thing is like straight out of the succession show if you guys have ever seen it.
Unbelievable.
Let's go to Sky News.
Oh, that was a company he wanted to buy at one point.
That didn't really work out.
The Brits didn't really like Fox so much.
Here we go.
This really was Rupert Murdoch's attempt to pass on the empire to his favourite son, Lachlan Murdoch, and that now, that bid has been thrown out and failed.
It has, Yalda.
This is a storyline which could be straight out of the TV drama Supersession, which, of course, many people believe is based on the real life Murdoch family.
Rupert Murdoch's trust, which is set up for the event of his death, Equally divides control of his media empire between his four oldest children.
But Rupert Murdoch has been engaged over recent months in the United States in this bitter and protracted legal battle to try and change that trust, to instead hand control solely to his eldest son Lachlan, who is known for being more right leaning, more conservative than his siblings.
Rupert Murdoch essentially wanted to try and consolidate the right leaning stance of much of his media empire.
Notably, Fox News here in the United States.
Well, the commissioner in this case, or the judge in this case, has overwhelmingly rejected Rupert Murdoch's attempt to change the trust.
Yep, overwhelmingly rejected and had a few things to say about it as well.
He actually said it was a carefully crafted charade to permanently cement Lachlan Murdoch's executive roles inside the empire, regardless of the impacts such control would have over the companies or the beneficiaries of the family trust.
What'd we say?
Succession style stuff.
By the way, what kind of family has this kind of.
Going gons, right?
Like, you know, it's kind of not a very good look, shall we say.
Anyway, the article goes on.
This was first reported by the New York Times to talk about how he really wanted to ensure that it would stay conservative.
Fox News would stay conservative because don't forget, there was a real creep there for quite a while to the left, was there not?
And if you ask me, I don't think Lachlan and Murdoch, the dad, were really too psyched about Donald Trump.
It was like anybody but Trump, anybody but Trump for a while.
They're like, please.
Ron DeSantis, help us out, please.
Nikki Haley, help us out.
But what did I tell you?
It was always going to be Trump because Trump had the base and Trump became in his own way bigger than Fox.
So what do you think they did?
They kissed the ring themselves.
They gave him the Patriot of the Year award.
Did you see that the other day?
The Patriot of the Year award.
But, you know, just keep in mind, this is, as the reporter said quite well, a succession style drama, like straight out of a television show.
You got three kids on the left, you got one on the right that the father thinks would be best for the business.
And by the way, it's good for business.
Like, let's be honest.
I mean, you don't have that much.
Well, you're getting some competitors out there.
I actually think the business is kind of doomed.
We can talk about that.
And the stock price, which actually has fared decently well thanks to the sports division.
But here's the thing, guys, you know, Lachlan.
Shares his dad's viewpoint, maybe he can take that forward.
But don't you want what's best for the company?
Period.
You do, in my estimation, it would be to continue with an authentic viewpoint that's at its heart conservative.
I mean, that's who you've been courting.
But the judge certainly did not like what was going down here and what they did.
This is a picture of Lachlan Murrach here at the Sun Valley event, and of course, Fox News Channel, News Corp. being again one of these companies.
Here we go with the Yahoo News reporter talking about what the judge said.
Reportedly called the plan to change the trust a carefully crafted charade to permanently cement Lackland Murdoch's executive roles inside the empire, regardless of the impact such control would have over the companies or the beneficiaries of the family trust.
A lawyer for the elder Murdoch said they were disappointed with the ruling and intended to appeal, while Lackland did not respond to an email seeking comment, according to The Times.
Lackland's siblings, James, Elizabeth, and Prudence, issued a joint statement expressing hope that the family would focus.
On mending relationships.
Yeah, you know, I guess their relationship's kind of gone down the tubes.
Here's the Deadline article, and they say Rupert Murdoch has suffered a rare defeat in the Nevada court with the official denying him that desire to alter the family trust in favor of Lockham Murdoch.
One of the things that caught my eye was rare defeat.
Rare defeat.
I mean, I think he just got hit with a pretty big defeat, right, with the Dominion case, nearly a billion dollars.
And what did they do?
They threw out a bunch of talent over that one.
Well, perhaps as they were sort of Contending with this new universe in which Donald Trump had more power than them.
They were constantly trying to seek some other path, some other path forward.
But I'm going to tell you guys, you know what the bottom line in all of this is?
It's what Business Insider wrote.
The future of Rupert Murdoch's media empire is up for grabs.
I'm going to take it one further and tell you the future of Rupert Murdoch's empire is pretty much over.
Unless the kids.
Can figure out what the path forward is in an environment that does not favor traditional legacy cable streaming media.
Because who needs it?
You know, surprisingly, I took a look at the stock and it's done okay.
Dare we say?
Yeah, it's done a little bit okay.
You can see shares of Fox just over the last five years.
You know, it was rough there for a while.
We talked about it in 22 and in 23.
But just this year, they've started to shoot up.
So you say, well, why is that?
Why is the Fox? corporation actually doing any better?
Well, a couple things.
One, obviously, you know, the election being favorable, shall we say, to ratings at Fox News as opposed to ratings at MSNBC, where ratings are down some 51%.
So that has a little something to do with it.
But the other thing is sports.
They've got Fox Sports going for it, and that's been a very successful venture.
I'd still come back to this, though.
In my estimation, the industry is totally over.
So you can look at that chart and you can be happy about it for a little while because they've squeezed some profitability out of the company.
And yes, They've gotten a big tune in.
And yes, some of the stink has come off of conservatives given that Donald Trump won.
But their industry still, as we know it, is just dead.
D-O-A, okay?
Because everybody's over here.
Please reminder to subscribe, share, like, all that good stuff.
This is the future.
And it's what all of these mainstream media companies are having to contend with and deal with.
And think about even the sports component of it.
If you say, okay, well, you know, it's great.
Fox Sports is really driving a lot of the revenue growth.
Even so.
That's not going to sustain itself for the future.
That is not a growth industry.
I was at the Apple store the other day and I tried on the Pro Vision goggles, you know, the Vision Pro goggles, whatever they're called.
My kids love them.
Oh, isn't this amazing?
They are amazing.
And I bet they're going to be really amazing when it comes to sports because you put those goggles on, right?
And it's like you're actually at the athletic event.
But if you think about who that's actually going to favor from an investing standpoint, it's not the carrier of the show.
It's actually the people with the rights.
To the sporting event to allow somebody to come in and photograph it, which means it's not Fox Sports that does better in that case, but it's actually going to be the NBA or the NFL, the ones that own the rights to the actual games themselves.
And then they strike a deal, say with a Fox Sports or anyone else, but it's competition like anything else in order to get that.
And I don't even know if they're really thinking in terms of programming.
Hopefully they are.
I mean, again, look, Laughlin.
seems to be interested in the future.
He's taken a look at like some sport gaming companies and betting companies and he's had a history of trying to get into some new businesses.
Are the other siblings the same way?
Are they going to squabble over everything and that's going to make it really tough to get things done efficiently in the future?
I don't know the answers to that, but I'm not a big believer, shall we just say.
And by the way, full disclosure, I used to work there, worked there for a number of years.
We parted and honestly at the time it was just awful.
I was shocked at what they did.
I rather infamously, correctly said that, you know, we shouldn't be shutting down the whole country back in 2020 and that the stock market was way over its skis in terms of how much we were selling off.
We never should have been selling off like that.
CNN had turned this into their moment, right?
Like a plane moment.
And if you go back and you look at all the studies, I think everybody would agree, you know what?
We should have protected the people that we could protect, but we didn't need to go so crazy and shut down the entire country and shut down the entire economy.
You need a strong economy to fight the thing, right?
Anyway, you know, I'm the sacrificial lamb on that.
Whatever.
Fine.
I'll take that on and I'll absorb it all day because the good news is I came over here and it's a whole different ballgame.
There is no prompter.
There's nobody editing my scripts like they used to do literally five minutes before hair.
I get a zillion changes.
So none of that happens.
This is authentic.
This is real.
This is different.
And this is the future.
So we've been building and building and building thanks to you guys and all of your support and enthusiasm and everything you guys have done.
Look at this.
We're knocking up on 500,000 subs here on the Trish Regan show.
here on YouTube and we air everywhere.
So it's been terrific, but you know, it was a funny way to get to the forum.
I want to give a quick shout out for one of our great sponsors here on the show, and that would be our friends over at American Heart for Gold.
You can go to TrishLovesGold.com for more on that.
Get up to $15,000 in free silver with their very special offer for friends of the Trish Regan Show.
You can text Trish to 655-32, call them at 1-844-495-1115.
But I love the handle, Trish LovesGold.
How can you forget it?
And another special shout out to my own company, which is 76 Research, a financial research company I started last spring with a very dear friend we had talked about this a long time Rob Horton, who's a brilliant stock picker brilliant, and I mean brilliant.
And so the two of us got together and thought, you know what, what if we could offer this research on a really massive scale and help people that way by by cutting through all the bs.
Frankly, that you get and i've worked at them all at FOX Business, that you get at CNBC and that you get at Bloomberg, I should know, And instead of being just in the moment with, okay, you know, you're going to throw a bull on TV because the market's soaring.
And today you're going to throw a bear on because the market's tanking.
Let's actually try and give people real advice that's thought out for the future.
And we do that via our model portfolios.
We have three of them right now.
You can sign up for Founders Club and you get all of them, plus any new portfolios coming your way.
And we also have this free guide because I've said all along, you know what, if Donald Trump wins and I thought he was going to win, this is the one show, right?
Where I kept saying, you know, I'd be shocked if he didn't.
But I did tell you.
I really, you know, I have a sense for these things.
I thought he was going to win.
He did win.
And you want to be positioned as an investor.
We're going to talk about Bitcoin a little bit later on in the program because Eric Trump is out talking about Bitcoin and how it could possibly go to a million bucks.
But before we do, here's a question.
As we look at all these changes coming potentially for Fox.
Now, Rupert says he's going to appeal.
He better hope he does that fast because, again, 93 years old.
He's not getting any younger.
And the plan right now is for the family trust to give equal voting rights to all of the four siblings that are planning on having voting rights.
The other two kids don't have voting rights.
So if that's to be assumed, then three of those four, given as liberal as they are, aren't really going to like the direction that Fox News itself, with its conservative leanings, is heading.
So what does that mean for the talent?
Tucker Truth And Lawfare00:15:14
The talent that works there.
I mean, are they going to be able to keep their jobs?
I mean, you know, Jesse Waters, is he going to still be there?
Is Hannity still going to be there?
Hannity better hope he's.
still going to be there.
Did you see the house he just got in Florida?
Woohoo!
It's 23.5 million.
The Florida estate.
Hannity's going to be fine.
Trust me.
You know what?
Hannity doesn't even need the gig.
I'm kind of surprised he's still there, to be honest.
Jesse Waters, well, they got him cheap because Tucker had been in the spot earning a lot more money and they got rid of Tucker for some reason.
Now ask yourself, why did they ditch Tucker Carlson?
Why did they ditch Trish Regan or Lou Dobbs for that matter?
Well, Lou had some stuff going on with Dominion.
Trish Regan said a few things that kind of ignited the universe over the COVID stuff.
And then Tucker, well, his faux pas was actually trying to get to the truth about January 6th.
And everybody went positively bonkers.
Remember this?
Chuck Schumer on the floor there at the Capitol building.
Listen.
Last night, millions of Americans tuned into one of the most shameful hours we have ever seen on cable television.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson ran a lengthy segment last night arguing the January 6th Capitol attack was not a violent insurrection.
I don't think I've ever seen a primetime cable news anchor manipulate his viewers the way Mr. Carlson did last night.
I don't think I've ever seen an anchor treat the American people and American democracy with such disdain.
There's nothing.
That's shameful that has ever appeared on American television in the history of the medium.
And so, on the basis of that, the self evident outrage of showing the public video that it paid for and has a right to see, Chuck Schumer called for the censorship of that video.
Any information, and he did not dispute that it was accurate, the damages, the storyline his party constructed and used must be squelched.
And Schumer was explicit on that point.
Because that video contradicted lies told by the Democratic Party, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinsinger.
Chuck Schumer demanded that our bosses pull this show off the air.
Oh boy.
He's going to come back tonight with another segment.
Fox News should tell him not to.
Fox News, Rupert Murdoch, tell Carlson not to run a second segment of lies.
I urge Fox News to order Carlson to cease propagating the big lie on his network and to level with their viewers about the truth, the truth behind the efforts.
To mislead the public.
Conduct like theirs is just asking for another January 6th to happen.
Okay.
So, what happened soon thereafter?
One, Fox made Tucker pull the planned reports he had.
And two, he was fired.
Unceremoniously, just completely, they cut ties.
Seen that movie before.
And it had nothing to do, by the way. with Dominion because actually Tucker was out there saying, I don't believe the election was stolen, blah, Remember?
Tucker was actually not.
He was pushing Sydney really hard.
And yet they kind of used that as an excuse.
Maybe he was the sacrificial lamb in that case.
I mean, a lot was about to come out about the Murdochs, etc., and what they were doing behind the scenes and how much they knew about what really went down in 2020 and how much they did.
Was this just a way to, you know?
I don't know.
But what I would tell you is this.
They obviously have felt the pressure.
That network felt the pressure.
And because they felt the pressure, they got rid of certain people.
So if now you have pressure coming in from a new management team with three out of the four siblings not really being in sync with the conservatism that has really built up that network, well, then I wouldn't be surprised if they ditch it and they go in a totally new direction because they think that's what's best for business.
Of course, it doesn't really matter now, does it?
Because you're here, hopefully.
Maybe you're watching Tucker's Network.
Maybe you're watching Dan Bongino, another who left, over on Rumble.
And guess what else?
Matt Gaetz just got a brand new gig over at One America's News Network.
Well, you know, I guess there's a happy ending of some sort there.
What a wild rollercoaster that all was.
So OANN has just hired Matt.
He's got his own new show there.
Matt Gaetz is going to be joining OANN One America News Network as the host of a new primetime show, The Matt Gaetz Show, scheduled to premiere in January 2025.
This career shift follows Gaetz's withdrawal from consideration for the attorney general position, of course, as announced by former President Trump due to the lack of Senate support.
Gaetz has also expressed his intent to explore issues related to his claims about the January 6th committee suggesting there were deletions in their records.
Now, what's interesting about this is that he's already really been like a dog with a bone about just exactly what was going down.
Don't forget, right?
Like between Fannie Willis and the feds or between, say, Letitia James and the feds, he's been looking to see whether or not there was any correspondence between the AGs like Letitia and the actual feds.
Because the question is, was the Biden team running?
Everything, were they all just a whole bunch of puppets.
And now Matt's going to have a pulpit, so to speak.
I mean he could have done this on a streaming podcast too, just saying for people to tune in and watch.
This is a good thing for Oannn Listen.
NEWS MAX is a competitor out there.
There's a lot of competitors out there, and so FOX has its challenges.
They used to kind of have a monopoly on conservative opinion, and we've seen that didn't really pan out so well for them at various times, especially when they deserted the people that brought them to the dance.
Let's take a look at Matt Gaetz.
He's talking to Merrick Garland here and he's trying to figure out just exactly whether or not there was any kind of discussion between the AGs in the states and the feds.
Watch.
Communicating with these state and local prosecutions against Trump, you can clear it all up for us right now.
Will the Department of Justice provide to the committee all documents, all correspondence between the department and Alvin Bragg's office and Fonnie Willis' office and Letitia James' office?
The offices you're referring to are independent offices of state and federal government.
I get that.
I get that.
The question is whether or not you will provide all of your documents and correspondence.
That's the question.
I don't need a history lesson.
Well, I'm going to say again we do not control those offices.
They make their own decisions.
The question is whether you communicate with them, not whether you control them.
Do you communicate with them and we provide those communications?
If you make a request, we'll refer it to our Office of Legislative.
But see, here's the thing.
You come in here and you lodge this attack that it's a conspiracy theory.
That there is coordinated lawfare against Trump.
And then we'll say, fine, just give us the documents, give us the correspondence, and then if it's.
I think it's still gonna be a good one.
All right, I'll be tuning in.
Fox, watch out.
Meanwhile, today, new calls, new calls to do something about Letitia James because she is really trying to basically stand in opposition to the federal government.
She's made it clear before, let's face it, this is all this woman has, this is what she's banked her entire career on.
Well, now we're getting new information out.
that she's becoming increasingly even more of a problem, a problem that she welcomes.
She wants Donald Trump to pay a half a billion dollars to the people of New York for something that, believe me, and I'll walk you through the case, literally makes no sense and would set tremendously poor precedent.
Listen, even the judges in the appeals court know that this one makes no sense.
This is an AG gone wild, but listen to the latest breaking news coming to us right now from MSNBC.
It's $470 million civil fraud judgment against President-elect Donald Trump.
Joining us now with more is MSNBC's Lisa Rubin.
Lisa, good morning.
What does this mean?
Good morning, Jose.
President Trump's lawyers are trying to get the New York Attorney General to set aside that case.
But as they said in their letter today, they're refusing to do so because that case, which was a civil litigation, is primarily and almost exclusively about his pre presidential conduct and running the Trump organization.
And as they say in their letter, there are over a dozen other defendants who are part of that $450 million plus. civil fraud judgment.
I want to point out also that this is part of their strategy to sort of extend the presidential immunity argument from the opinion over the weekend.
You can see them do that with the New York DA's office as well.
That office's brief in response to a motion to dismiss the New York Hush Money case, where there is also a verdict, is expected later today.
We should expect to see them also fight back against the idea that the judgment has to be thrown out merely because Trump is going to be president again.
Lisa Rubin, thank you.
You see where we're heading.
Okay, so she just wants to get to live another day.
Don't forget, this is one Letitia James who had this to say right before the election.
This is a state case.
Last week, he perfected his appeal, and we are confident that in the state of New York, we will recover.
over $450 million for the residents of the great state of New York.
He's engaged in name-calling.
But unfortunately, the reality is that I will not dignify his comments.
And two, I will not amplify his racism and or sexism.
We've got to focus on issues.
Americans are struggling right now.
Inflation has gone down, again, under the leadership of President Biden.
Right now, we are experiencing one of the lowest unemployment rates in history.
And it's really critically important that the number of illegal border crossings blah, She talks Biden's book.
Trying to like have it both ways, incidentally.
It's actually kind of funny because she's like, Oh, you know, inflation's coming down, even though inflation's been so hard and it's such a focus.
Oh, and the border's getting better, you know, whatever.
Okay, whatever, Leticia.
Good luck with that one.
Here's the deal, guys.
She wants to bankrupt the newly elected president of the United States.
That is her goal, that is her mission.
Do not be fooled.
Here she was smiling like some kind of Cheshire cat.
Soon after this nearly $500 million judgment came in telling ABC News she was going to go after all of it.
Every single last penny if she had to confiscate his property.
Something that she like dreams about clearly.
Four days after a judge ordered Donald Trump to pay $355 million for a decade of fraud.
New York Attorney General Letitia James says she's prepared to do everything she can to make sure the former president pays his fine.
Including, she told us, seizing the buildings that bear his name.
If he does not have funds to pay off the judgment, then we will seek judgment enforcement mechanisms in court, and we will ask the judge to seize his assets.
So that's your plan, right?
To do that with the President of the United States?
Good luck with that, Leticia.
She's going to run into some obstacles, just a few.
And I love this sound bite.
I'm going to play it all today.
We thank Benny Johnson for doing this interview with Mike Davis.
Maybe we'll have to get Mike on the program, but he says this so well.
The attorney, by the way, for Trump.
Let me just say this to Big Tish James, the New York Attorney General.
I dare you.
I dare you to try to continue your lawfare against President Trump in his second term.
Because listen here, sweetheart, we're not messing around this time, and we will put your fat ass in prison for conspiracy against rights.
And I promise you that.
So think long and hard before you want to violate President Trump's constitutional rights or any other American's constitutional rights.
It's not going to happen again.
We've been warning people on the show, Mike.
This isn't the same Trump administration.
Stop messing around.
Don't rig elections.
Don't.
Illegally vote.
Don't try the funny business because we know the team this time and they are not effing around.
Well said.
Okay.
So he's going to put her fat, you know what, right into the slammer if she continues this.
Well, she wants to continue this.
I don't know if she's going to get to first base, though.
I'm just going to say because the Court of Appeals any day now, and I know I've been saying this a while, they're a little bit extended here.
They're overextended.
They should have actually thrown this case out earlier, but we're still waiting.
They know that this makes no sense.
You heard the five judges listening to the solicitor who was acting on behalf of Leticia James, trying to take her court case against Trump to the Court of Appeals.
And they're like, what are you talking about, lady?
No, they're not having it.
May it please the court, Judith Fayle for the New York Attorney General's Office.
All of the defendants repeatedly violated.
Ms. Fayle, can you identify any previous case?
In which the Attorney General sued under Executive Law 6312 to upset a private business transaction that was between equally sophisticated partners, where the supposed victim had the ability and legal obligation to discover the allegedly misrepresented matters by conducting its own due diligence, where the supposed wrongdoer advised the supposed victim through written disclaimers to conduct its own due diligence and to draw its own conclusions.
Where the alleged misrepresentation almost entirely concerned inherently subjective valuations of properties and businesses.
Yes.
And where the victim never complained about any fraud in the transactional losses from it.
Because I've gone through the cases which you've cited, and all of them always involved the consumer protection aspect, it involved protection of the market.
And I want to add to his question and little to no impact on the public marketplace.
Alleged Orgy And Fraud00:05:36
Okay, so there were a whole series of that.
We did a whole show on this.
I actually broke up the entire court's response, and it was like one after another boom, They just shredded that attorney, Judith Vail, just shredded her because there is no case.
You see, and just to back up for a second, for those of you that are not as familiar, because I realize there's so many cases.
It's like, wait, which one are we talking about here?
This is the case.
where Letitia James is arguing that he unfairly got loans at a better rate from Deutsche Bank because he lied about the valuation of Mar-a-Lago.
So Letitia James is putting the valuation of Mar-a-Lago somewhere around, you know, $19 million, $18 million, to which I would say, hey, you know what?
I would buy it for that.
Believe me, believe me, you and I would buy it together, right?
We'd find a way to come up with the money to buy it for that.
Doesn't make any sense.
Apparently, this thing makes It has no debt on it, somewhere around $57 million just in revenue every year.
So she's totally like way out in left field.
But by the way, who the heck wants an attorney general for a state getting in between you and your banker?
Think about it.
You're borrowing money, you're private, the bank is private, and you make a decision.
I mean, the bank's going to have to deal with it, for example, if you can't pay back your loan, but if they think you're a worthwhile credit risk and they're like, okay, I got Mar-a-Lago as collateral.
Then they're willing to do it.
Guess what?
Deutsche BANK made 100 million bucks off the deal.
They were absolutely happy.
So you have no victim in the case and Letitia's poking her nose in there.
I just wonder why.
Maybe she should poke her nose into uh, into what's going on in some other places, which brings me to another story i'm going to get to with the va.
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness.
But in all seriousness, even you know it's so ridiculous is she supposed to get in the middle of say, Joy Behar's deal to sell her home?
This is the host on the view who's asking nearly 11 million dollars for a 4 000 square foot little Victorian in Sog Harbor?
I don't think so.
Like you think that thing is worth it okay, if somebody's crazy enough to pay it, let it be their business.
But who is Letitia to come in and say i'm gonna decide the valuation on this?
This is nuts, it's absolutely nuts.
And it's nuts that somehow she hasn't been quote unquote put to bed.
But again, maybe Mike Davis is right.
Maybe ultimately, she doesn't seem to understand.
You know, federal law kind of trumps the state law here.
Maybe they find a way to put her fat into prison for a long time.
Anyway, we started the show talking about Fox and, you know, what would we do without Fox?
Because who would be there to so eloquently report things like this?
Corruption that we're seeing at the VA.
Doge can't come fast enough.
And you know what?
I'm just going to let Jesse Waters say this and then I'll explain the story.
They had to issue a correction on Fox News.
And it is literally the most hilarious, hilarious correction I think I've ever heard.
He knows it too.
Only federal workers showing up to the office are having sex with each other.
If you caught the show yesterday, we reported a Breitbart exclusive, a major scandal rocking the VA.
Our report stated there was a 12 person orgy, but we have to issue a correction.
It wasn't a 12 person orgy, it was 15.
We apologize to the three we left out.
And they've all resigned, but don't worry, they get to keep their pensions.
Employees to have sex with each other at work?
Absolutely not.
So, why is it that we have at least 15 Mountain Home Tennessee VA employees who have allegedly had sex on the VA property?
They've not been disciplined.
Those actions are reprehensible, extremely inappropriate.
We also have seen every implicated person leave the.
This is a terrible story.
A Breitbart exclusive, by the way, as Jesse said.
Completely unconfirmed by me.
I don't think I need to do much investigation here.
We'll leave it to Breitbart, okay?
But anyway, apparently somebody's quite active there in the VA.
According to Breitbart, investigators find VA orgy officials had sex with 32 co workers.
Oh dear.
Several top veteran affairs officials in Tennessee resigned after this internal investigation and brought a congressional probe into this alleged sexual misconduct, which intensified again.
According to the Breitbart story, congressional investigators found that one man who resigned, whose names they're not revealing, but sources familiar with him say that he was actually running a bargaining unit as a biomedical employee, and he had dozens of relationships with women who worked in the Mountain Home VA Medical Center in Tennessee.
In fact, the congressional investigators told Breitbart that this man had affiliations, we shall say, with 32 different women.
And then there was the alleged orgy, etc.
I can't even like believe like what is wrong with people, right?
What is wrong with people?
They say the fact that this culture would even allow this to happen in the first place is absolutely wild and it's just completely over the top.
Shocking Executive Response00:12:11
Yeah, you think, you think, you think.
Oh dear.
You know, I'm telling you like Donald Trump can't get in there soon enough and you know what else can't come soon enough?
Doge, dun dun dun.
Okay, like Doge needs to start as of yesterday.
And listen, they've already started.
So, this is the Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy.
They're going to go in there and take a red marker, a red felt marker to the budget.
I mean, you just look at this information.
I have a Twitter account, by the way, now.
You can follow them at Doge.
And it's like, oh my gosh, $151 billion is what we spent on illegal immigration costs last year, which basically is half the cost of World War I. Just to put it in perspective, we adjust for inflation over here, as do they, unlike the New York Times when they try and tell you that wages are going up instead of down, adjusted for inflation.
So, anyway, that is kind of a wild story.
It's funny that Fox had to issue that correction and Jesse did that with a particular flair, okay?
So, we like him.
We like him.
Okay, here's a story with a reporter that we really don't like.
This Taylor Lorenz, first of all, this Luigi kid, 26 years old, comes from a wealthy family, kind of had Everything handed to him was the valedictorian of a prep school, went on to Ivy League school, University of Pennsylvania, where we know there's all kinds of woke radicalization.
Just look at what they were doing on campus with their chants anti Israel, anti American, etc.
Here he is, kind of a dust up there, as authorities were arresting him for the murder.
He allegedly murdered the CEO of United Healthcare in cold blood.
Just awful stuff.
Take a look.
Down, down.
Please.
And it's completely out of touch.
And the insult, the intelligence of the American people, and the lack of experience.
Okay, so he was talking about how this is somehow an insult to the intelligence of the American people.
Luigi Mangione is his name.
He had or was getting a master's in computer science or master's in engineering, I should say, from the University of Pennsylvania.
Now, what's really interesting is if you look at his Twitter account, he's followed by one Taylor Lorenz and the Twittersphere is like all tweeting or X-ing, I should say, about this right now because the question is, why was she Following him?
Is there any kind of bizarre connection?
Did she come in after the fact?
Did authorities tip her off?
Or was she somehow in any way, shape, or form, dare we say, connected in some bizarre fashion?
Because I guess he was very, very anti healthcare, and as was she.
So she's kind of well known because she blew up at the Washington Post after she doxed a whole bunch of people, including the end wokeness account. on Twitter.
So she was really into doxing and calling people out.
She did so, by the way, with some of the CEOs of other healthcare companies.
And then when this guy was shot and killed, she had no remorse about it.
She was actually sort of gleeful and sort of said she completely understood it.
These were some really heinous comments that she made.
There was sort of no empathy, if you would, in some of her responses.
And so she has been written about since then.
And Vox Media, who had been employing her, allegedly has now fired her over this.
So Vox Media, which like you can't get more liberal than Vox, okay, Vox is super duper like on the left.
They're like, okay, enough is enough.
Washington Post had already said enough is enough.
But sometimes when you think about like, is the media really the enemy of the people, this leftist media, you wonder, right?
Like how much of a role does a reporter like that who really hates capitalism, hates individuals like this, and somehow feels like she can justify this kind of hate, how much of a role does she have in corrupting a young person or any person?
So 26 years old, University of Pennsylvania.
I also think like some of these universities are kind of at fault because they're so woke and they're so rabid and they're encouraging, frankly, this disconnect and this hate and somehow you're authorized or okay to cancel out the other side.
By any means possible, this is very Antifa like if you think about it.
I'm speaking to the sentiment people do want these executives dead.
If you have watched them, we want them dead.
And I guess that's.
I mean, look, I'm going to say I'm with the people in the sense that if you have watched a loved one die because insurance has denied them life saving essential health care, it is natural to wish that the people who run those systems would suffer the same fate as your loved one.
And millions of people across America have had this experience.
So, yes, am I, you know, when I say, do I wish someone dead, you know, is that advocating for them to be killed?
No, of course not.
But am I going to shed tears or have a lot of empathy for somebody that has facilitated the deaths of thousands of innocent Americans through intentionally denying them coverage?
I am not going to, you know, weep over it.
I do think that loss of life is a tragedy.
I'm very against death generally, you know, as a principle.
But I think, again, why do we, why do we, Mourn certain deaths and condone other deaths of innocent, vulnerable people.
So you can see how that's kind of effectively condoning what he did.
She's all trapped up in her logic, by the way.
She just, Piers Morgan totally shredded her because the woman, frankly, is just dumb.
Okay.
She's like, on the one hand, oh, I think it's fine.
And then on the other hand, is like, but oh no, I'm against death of any kind.
I think I'm against death of any kind.
I mean, she literally makes no sense.
And so this is, again, she was former Washington Post.
Think about that.
By the way, I'll issue a correction myself.
On yesterday's program, I kept calling her a Washington Post reporter.
I had forgotten that the Washington Post already fired her.
So, Jeff Bezos, uh uh, he doesn't want anything to do with this woman.
She did already get fired.
And now, Vox coming out saying, We have fired her too.
Now, she disputes this.
She's like, No, I haven't really been fired.
That's not true.
That's the mainstream media lying.
And they're saying, Okay, we're parting ways.
Apparently, they were going to part ways anyway at the end of the year, and we're not renewing her contracts.
Here she is.
I want to show you.
Piers is great.
Like he's like, lady, you just don't make any sense.
Okay.
So again, this lady was working for the Washington Post and then went over to Vox, uber liberal.
This is who is representing the media.
It's scary in and of itself.
Facts.
I disagree.
Let's move to the other story because Taylor's been waiting patiently here.
So this issue of Brian Thompson, one of the top healthcare executives in the country, I'm just curious why your first reaction would be to his cold blooded execution.
And people wonder why we want these executives dead.
And then you later commented with people giving you a lot of blowback.
I'm not alone, you said.
Healthcare executive down with party balloons was on an expose that you commented on.
Why would you be in such a celebratory mood about the execution of another human being?
Aren't you supposed to be on the caring, sharing left where you believe in the sanctity of life?
I do believe in the sanctity of life.
And I think that's why I felt, along with so many other Americans, joy, unfortunately.
Joy?
Seriously?
I mean, joy in a man's execution?
Maybe not joy, but certainly not empathy.
Because again, it's not joy.
How can this make you joyful?
This guy's a husband, he's a father.
And he's being dumbed down in the middle of Manhattan.
Why is that making joyful?
Of Americans that he murdered.
So are the tens of thousands of Americans, innocent Americans, who died because greedy health insurance executives like this one push policies of denying care to the most vulnerable people.
And the many millions of Americans that have watched people that I care about suffer and in some cases die because of lack of health care.
So should they all be killed then?
Should they all be killed, these health care executives?
Would that make you even more joyful?
No, that would not.
Why not?
Why are you laughing?
I think because, here it is, because it wouldn't fix the whole thing.
You seem to find the whole thing hilarious.
I find your question.
A bloke's been murdered in the street.
I don't find it funny at all.
I don't find it funny that tens of thousands of Americans die every year because they are denied life saving health care from people like the CEO.
Now, I want to fix the system.
You're right.
We shouldn't be going around shooting.
Wait, wait, wait.
She just said she found it joyful.
She felt joy. when this guy was murdered.
Do you understand how scary this is?
This is what the mainstream media thinks is okay.
This woman worked for the Washington Post.
When you see Joy Reid on MSNBC and the rest of them carrying on, they think that the ends, the means justify the end, however they need to get there.
They're okay with that.
She felt joy when he was murdered because somehow that was going to fix the overall healthcare problem.
No, We are the United States of America and you know how we fix things?
We go to the ballot box.
We actually vote and we just did.
You know what?
We don't like Joe Biden and his idiot policies.
We don't like his inflation.
We don't like his border.
And guess what?
We just voted his, you know what?
Really so far out of that.
He's even going down in history.
He's the worst president, worse than Nixon, worse than anyone, okay?
He was a bad president with bad policies.
So we did something about it.
We don't all just take up arms and assassinate people, you crazy liberal reporter who feels joy when you hear somebody, a father, dies?
Father with vigilante justice.
No.
I think that it is a good thing that this murder has led to America, really the media elites and politicians in this country paying attention to this issue for the first time.
You mentioned you couldn't understand why somebody would feel this reaction when they watched a CEO die.
It's because you have not dealt, it sounds like, with the American healthcare system in the way that millions of other Americans have.
I've dealt with the healthcare system in various ways in America.
I don't think it's perfect by any means, but the idea that I would view it as something.
Have you been denied life for a while?
Hang on.
The idea that I would view it as something joyful that a man who's just a healthcare executive has been executed in the street, I find completely bizarre.
Let me bring in Tommy here.
Tommy, you know, I keep being.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Hang on, wait.
Hang on, Taylor.
I'll come back to you.
Tommy, don't say I'm joyful.
I said I'm joyful.
You said you were feeling joyful.
She did.
Yeah, I take that back.
Joyful is the wrong word, Piers.
You think?
You think?
Yeah.
You think joyful is the wrong word?
Yeah.
I'd say it is.
It's indicated celebratory because, again, it feels like justice in this system when somebody responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans suffers the same fate as those tens of thousands of Americans who he murdered.
Tommy, whether Taylor wants to retract the word joyful or not, we all heard her say it.
And I was just shocked.
I mean, I find that kind of response utterly shocking that someone can be murdered in the middle of Manhattan who happens to be an executive for a healthcare company.
You know what?
And Tommy's a good scout.
She and I used to work together.
I like her very much over on Fox, and she's a realist.
Panic Versus Preparation00:08:42
And she goes on to call Taylor out.
I mean, this is gross behavior.
And by the way, not only did she say she felt joy, she then went on to say, when she said, Well, maybe I'm mistaken with that word because this is not a very bright woman.
None of the media members are really all that bright.
It's like they take the dumbest possible people, the people that can't get jobs in real America, and they throw them into media and then become parrots for.
Deep state, et cetera.
And this one, I don't even know.
She's just a wackadoo, okay?
Like a complete whack job.
And so she said, First, she felt joy.
And then she's like, Well, it's justice.
No, no, no, no.
That's not how we do justice, okay?
That's like Antifa, okay?
So what?
She's joining Antifa?
Is that what it is?
She's like, Oh, I'm not fired.
I'm not fired.
It's 100% false to say I'm fired.
That's not true.
In other words, she's refuting this story.
I'll tell you, maybe they're just quote unquote parting ways.
I've seen that before.
It means you're fired, hon, okay?
You're fired.
Maybe they'll pay out the rest of your contract through the end of December if that is the deal they had with you.
But Taylor Lorenz is just dumb, okay?
She's a dumb and irresponsible quote unquote journalist.
I mean, that word, journalist, now, it's like a trigger word for me.
Like, it's disgusting.
These journalists are like a bunch of hit people.
And in her case, where she's out literally on her Twitter account publishing, The names of all of these CEOs, as though to say, Hey, go get them, go get them, go get them.
I mean, what a nutshell.
What a nutshell.
And so I ask you this how is it that she was one of the very first to be following this Luigi Mangione?
Mangione.
Mangione, as we would say in Italian.
Mangione, I don't know how they said it.
But anyway, he came from a very wealthy family.
Kid was valedictorian.
How about this winter when Kevin Wang delivered a senior speech?
As Kevin moved to America and joined our class in ninth grade, English isn't his first language.
Valedictorian at his prep school in Baltimore, who then was somehow radicalized, had all these anti capitalist ideas, went, of course, to the woke, and I mean woke in capital W O K E.
They had to actually fire the president of that woke university, the University of Pennsylvania. because of all of the troubles that we had had on campus after campus after campus, including UPenn, with people being very anti-Semitic.
So this wokeism that's being bred on these university campuses, that's being spouted throughout the rest of the liberal media, I mean, you know, you know the drill, you know what they said about Trump.
It's amazing that you don't see more crazies out there incentivized by the crazy talk that we've heard from the media.
In this kid's case, apparently there may have been some pharmaceuticals involved because he had had some back pain, some issue with his spine and was on some kind of drug that some people say really changed his personality, et cetera, et cetera.
I'm not necessarily going to.
And by the way, sorry, I actually read your comments yesterday and you're like, Trish, why do you keep calling him kid?
Why do you keep calling him kid?
He's not a kid.
He's a man.
He's 26 years old.
And you're right.
It's just that I guess he looks young to me because I'm that much older.
But he's not a kid.
He's a full-grown man and we won't make any excuses for. him.
Here's Luigi with his friends from UPenn and of course he liked to take a lot of shirtless photos while I guess hiking in Hawaii.
So he was corrupted in a really horrible way and I do think that the university system played a role in this and I also think the media to a certain extent also plays a role.
Now I sound like them, I don't mean to right because they were all like after the conservative media saying that somehow we were going to ignite all the crazies.
That's not really the case and ultimately you know how much I believe in freedom of speech.
But I do think there's a lack of responsibility amongst these so called legacy media organizations, of which that woman that you just saw that felt joy when this guy was killed, she was part of at the Washington Post.
Think of that.
I mean, how are they vetting the people that come in to work for them?
And they're all so damn biased, as Donald Trump so articulately pointed out in his first big sit down interview with NBC News anchor Kristen Welker.
All evidence.
Let me ask you this about January 6th.
I wish you could be a.
You have such potential.
If you could be just non biased, you hurt yourself so badly.
I'm telling you, they deleted and destroyed all the evidence.
Everyone knows it.
And you slough it off like it doesn't mean anything.
No, I'm just saying they deny it.
That's all I'm saying.
Kristen, if I did it, you would be standing up in that chair shouting at me.
And you know what I'd do?
I'd say, You got me.
They have done something so illegal.
They have a committee sworn to, and because it was so bad, the only reason they did it is because the testimony turned out to be in favor of me.
He's talking about some of the J6 stuff.
Listen, the media is biased.
It's got extreme bias and we've seen it over and over and over again.
You know, we had another example of a complete meltdown on The View this week.
Whoopi seems to be getting the message from producers and she wants to live another day.
That woman's a survivalist, right?
Kind of like John Mika over on MSNBC, making a little pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago, getting the whole network upset.
Well, Whoopi's trying to say, okay, well, let's take one day at a time.
Let's enjoy our holidays because she's realized that she's actually a huge problem for Disney.
and for ABC News.
But some of the others haven't gotten the memo.
Here, take a look.
He does this to keep you all in a panic.
He does it to make you all do this and talk about it, but it's so terrible.
All we have to do from now until January 21st is be with our families, be with our kids, do our jobs, make sure our checks don't bounce.
Make sure that we are taking care of ourselves and our families.
Whatever he's going to do, he's going to do.
But do take our word for it.
Things seem to move slowly because, yeah, they didn't come get Hillary.
But he has other people who are ready to go.
But I don't think that they can just go out and do what they want.
I told you last week I disagree with you when you say that.
No, because we have the luxury of saying that because we're legal.
We are successful.
We are.
Okay, hang on.
You hear how the music is going?
That is the producer's cue to tell them to rap, to stop.
They tried to stop Anna dead in her tracks before she could go on because you see they're getting some kind of edict from someone, somewhere at Disney or ABC News not to say exactly what she's going to say.
An illegal immigrant in this country, you're not going to be not in a panic.
If you are a woman working for the Department of Defense, you have a right to be in a panic.
You tell people to stay fraught and like this.
No, I'm telling people to prepare, Whoopi.
I'm telling people to be prepared.
Do you think people are prepared?
They are prepared.
So that means that they can be relaxing and enjoying the season.
No, it doesn't mean that.
But winter is here.
No, it does.
You know what?
I'm sorry.
I mean, I disagree.
Winter is here.
Winter has been with us.
And my point is we can lay down and do nothing for the next 15 days and then be freaking out for the next four or two years.
But my point is.
I have a point.
I have a hair man who is going through the Same thing.
I'm not panicking.
I'm not panicking.
We just have to look at the things of America.
We don't know what we're panicking for.
They're throwing 50,000 things at you to make you do this.
I'm saying don't buy into that.
Do what you have to do.
Take care of your family.
And when we know what is happening, when we know what we're fighting, we'll get out and fight.
That's what I'm saying.
I'm not saying don't do anything.
I'm saying don't be this because nobody can do it.
We need to prepare.
Would you like us to stop?
All right, we'll be right back.
Wow.
So it was a total breakdown, total meltdown.
Entertaining America Again00:04:21
Whoopi is suddenly soaking up reality, realizing maybe that the media was a little too crazy.
The media was crazy when it just went on and on and on about how awful Trump was.
I mean, you know it.
You lived through it with me.
Of course, it's Trump is a Nazi time again.
Let's deal with Hitler, okay?
I don't think it's hyperbolic to say that.
I mean, that is Mussolini Hitler like language.
Trump's affinity for Hitler was always covered under an umbrella of his stupidity.
Echoing Hitler's words.
Listen to this.
Well, Hitler was duly elected.
That's right.
Echoing the hateful rhetoric of Adolf Hitler.
It echoes Hitler.
That's the kind of language Hitler used in Mein Kampf.
Got vermin and Hitler and Mussolini.
That's a horrifying clip.
That's a fascist clip.
Just going full on Hitler.
It's from Hitler's Germany.
We just need to say for the record that the term vermin.
Was really effectively used by Adolf Hitler.
Echo dictators like Hitler.
With language evoking authoritarian figures like Adolf Hitler and Donald Trump parroted the autocratic language of Adolf Hitler.
Talk about the brilliance of Hitler's generals.
Okay.
And it goes on for like nine more minutes, right?
So you get the picture.
And this was what the Whoopi Goldbergs of the world and the Joy Behars of the world were doing every single day nonstop.
And now they're realizing, oh boy, that fell on deaf ears.
Nobody agrees with us.
And we actually very soon might be out of a job.
I mean, Bob Agar wants to ditch this thing as fast as he can over at Disney, right?
They want to part with ABC because those are not growing businesses.
And how are you going to make money on them right now?
Certainly not with the likes of those ladies.
And so they've got another challenge coming their way.
This is good.
The view now in jeopardy of being replaced, totally replaced, possibly with a sane show.
Heck, maybe they ought to take this show to ABC.
Watch this comedian telling Fox his big plans with his new media company to actually put a ladies talk show on television midday that might actually be one that people want to watch.
He's here tonight to make a major media announcement.
Let's bring in the author of.
You Can Do It, Speak Your Mind, America, actor and comedian Rob Snyder.
Rob, great to have you on the show.
Thank you so much, Trace.
Quickly, the book.
Best name and news, Trace Brown.
Best name and news.
First up.
What about the book?
The book, it's You Can Do It.
I just happen to have it right here.
Look at that.
It's a book about free speech, you know.
You wouldn't think you'd need to have a book about free speech in America.
And then you'd realize you did.
Yeah, it's fantastic.
Okay, the big announcement.
What's happening?
Well, no apologies, Media, my new company.
We're going to do an all ladies talk show.
That won't be like The View.
Is it the opposite of The View?
It could be, but we're just going to do a show that it'll be the opposite because this will be entertaining.
Okay.
It'll be funny.
Yeah.
It'll have funny women on it that are going to tell jokes and have funny stories and health and wellness.
Is the idea to go after The View in the same time slot?
Are you going, it's a competitor?
We're going to compete with them, yeah.
I don't know if it's the same time slot.
We're not going to announce who's doing the show yet, but that's what's happening now and it's official.
So now we're moving ahead.
Give us a timeline.
January, we're going to start shooting shows before the inauguration.
Are you talking to people?
Are you talking to famous people, women you like?
Yes, we have a lot of women we like, and it's household names, and you're going to love it.
It's going to be fun.
It's going to be a funny show, not going to be like drowning people in politics.
It's not going to be shaming people and making people wince.
Okay, you said The View.
We've got to play a little soundbite of The View because you can come.
Here's Whoopi The View and people freaking out about Trump.
Watch.
You tell people to stay fraught and like this.
That is not.
No, I'm telling people to prepare, Whoopi.
They are.
I'm telling people to think you're not prepared.
They are prepared.
So, this is the same soundbite I just showed you.
It's good.
People don't want to have the politics.
We're going to have an entertaining show with people for all, for entertaining people all over America.
We're not trying to just bring people who are angry and bitter and reinforcing their political echo chamber.
I mean, that's what you and I do here.
Jordan Neely Opportunity00:03:03
Right.
You're not going to steal our people, are you, Rob?
You're not going to steal some of our best people and put them on your show?
Never.
Why would we?
Nobody.
But we have an opportunity in America to move away from the politics.
We have an opportunity to get America healthy again.
That's why I'm so excited about Robert Kennedy.
Yeah.
You know, being the.
Anyway, so he wants to debut this alternative to The View that maybe is going back to the roots of what The View originally was supposed to be.
But it's gotten so crazy, as you all well know.
Hey, is this why Joy Behar is putting her place up for sale for $10.5 million?
Is she shedding assets because she knows her day is coming?
Is this why Whoopi is suddenly backtracking and saying, okay, no, we've got to wait and see.
We've got to wait and see.
I think that they've started to figure out that the public is onto them.
and that they're tired of them, and that even if they got some big numbers on the day after the election, I think that was all about tuning in to see how distraught they were.
And their numbers have collapsed since then.
So listen, the show is on thin ice and for good reason.
News today that BLM has been making some new threats.
They took to the streets of New York City last night in a predominantly peaceful march there.
And this is all in response, of course, to Daniel Penny being found not guilty.
Daniel Penny not guilty.
Because he was trying to help some people, save some people from a one, Jordan Neely, who was high on K2, a schizophrenic who had all kinds of problems and was walking around the train just intimidating everybody.
Daniel Penny, an ex-Marine, put him in a chokehold, wound up killing him, and as a result, was on trial for murder.
Here's BLM trying to rally the troops yesterday as the news came out.
We need some black vigilantes.
That's right.
People want to jump up.
And choke us and kill us for being loud?
How about we do the same when they attempt to oppress us?
I'm tired.
Tired.
Hmm.
Well, they got some people out in New York City.
No justice, no peace.
They were shouting.
And interestingly, the majority of people actually looked to not be minorities that were there.
So a lot of woke people taking to the streets in New York.
Everything was fine, everything was peaceful.
But here's Jordan Neely's dad somehow saying that the problem is the system.
I don't know.
Maybe the problem is Jordan Neely's dad, right?
Like, where was the dad his whole life?
Here we go.
I just want to say, I miss my son.
My son didn't have to go through this.
I didn't have to go through this either.
It hurts.
Really, really hurts.
What are we going to do, people?
What's going to happen to us now?
I had enough of this.
The system is rigged.
Come on, people.
Native Lives And Agenda00:14:26
Let's do something about this.
Nobody wants to do anything about this because everybody's saying exactly what the mayor of New York is now saying, who incidentally may be switching to the Republican Party.
And that's that you need to protect the people of New York.
You actually need to protect the people that are there.
You can't just keep going around on the apology tour apologizing to everyone over and over and over and over again.
This is all the Biden team has done.
They apologize constantly.
In fact, Joe Biden was just out yesterday apologizing again to Native Americans for the boarding schools that they put in place hundreds of years ago to try and, you know, westernize some of the Native Americans.
So he's out on his apology tour.
It's like, buddy, it's hundreds of years ago.
Enough already, for goodness sakes.
I believe tribes should have a say in how these sacred lands are managed.
To this day, they should have a say.
And last year alone, we doubled the number of co stewardship agreements, totaling 400 with tribal nations.
All this is a stark cry from the failed policies of the past.
In October, I saw many of you in Arizona.
It's a day I'll never forget.
On behalf of the American people, I felt it was really important for a president of the United States to stand up and right a wrong that had been ignored for a long time and apologize.
Apologize for the.
We're not about a race in history, we're about a recognized history, the good, bad, and the ugly.
I apologize for the federal Indian boarding school era, a dark chapter that spanned 150 years from the 1860s, from 19, until 1960, in which entire generations of Native children were literally stolen from their families and tribes and sent away to boarding school.
The official policy of the federal government designed to serve, sever ties between children and their tribal families Their language and their culture.
Today, we act to continue that healing process.
I'm proud to announce we're establishing the historic Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania as a new national monument.
So I want everyone to know.
Okay.
So let me just say I'm not trying to excuse any of it, right?
Because in many cases, kids are taken from their families and they were sort of tried, they tried to anglophy them in these boarding schools, and I'm not making an excuse for that.
But I guess what I am saying is like at some point we all got to move on, right?
You just move on and you move forward and we can't be worried about reparations for the rest of our lives, burdening everybody else with the problems of 100 or 200 years ago.
And what they seem to want to wallow in is all this negativity and what has happened and how terrible we were.
Listen, you know, unfortunately in that environment, going all the way back to what the 1600s, 1700s, it was kill or be killed.
So people came here and You know, it wasn't perfect.
It wasn't like the Native Americans had all the solutions.
But if you listen to some of the wokeism coming out of the universities in the Democrat Party today, you'd think that we should have succumbed to do whatever they were doing at the time.
And that's just ridiculous.
And by the way, I would add, guess who voted for Trump?
Native Americans.
Okay, so they don't want your handouts either, Joey boy.
They don't want it.
They prefer this guy who said this.
Remember?
And I just want to thank you because you're very, very special people.
You were here long before any of us were here.
Although we have a representative in Congress who they say was here a long time ago.
They call her Pocahontas.
But you know what?
I like you.
Okay.
Because you know what?
He's moved on.
He has moved on.
I mean, I don't know what kind of favors Elizabeth Warren got for her alleged DNA, but listen, it is time for everybody to just move forward.
Everybody's had different kinds of struggles in different ways, but we can't just be weighed down by that burden for the rest of our lives and for generations to come.
It's all about moving forward, glass half full.
We want optimism.
And you know what?
We just voted for it.
We voted for it.
And it's time to get rid of these people that are pretty disastrous, if you ask me, to our economy and to our nation.
And part of that includes people that are willing to go after people just because.
They fit a specific demo and it fits into a narrative that they want.
Alvin Bragg, he's on his last legs.
Fannie Willis, same deal and won Letitia James.
Here's Alan Dershowitz saying that Bragg is a disgrace, that the case against Daniel Penny never should have been brought, and that it is high time the guy resigns.
Listen.
Sir, did you want to start off with just the immediate reaction to the not guilty verdict in the Daniel Penny case?
I have to admit, I was a little surprised.
Having hung on the higher count, I was not expecting that they would so quickly acquit on the lower count.
It probably shows that there were only one or two people in the original high count that hung based on their desire to see a conviction.
So I think it's a good thing.
Now, I think the next step has to be the removal of Alvin Bragg from the role of district attorney.
He is a disgrace to the office.
The two cases he brought should never have been brought.
The case against Donald Trump, which was made up out of old cloth, which to my mind involves unethical, unprofessional conduct by Bragg, and also this case, which should never have been brought either.
He brought it only because of the racial component to the case and because of pressures from Black Lives Matter and other groups on the outside, both white and black radicals who wanted these cases to be brought, wanted this case to be brought, and who are going to continue to complain, even though there were obviously black members of the jury who voted to acquit.
Quit as well.
Think about that.
Okay, so that's an important statement.
As Dirk Schwartz points out, this was New York City, and this actually just came down to what was right and what was wrong.
And there were black members of the jury that also voted to acquit.
Here's Jonathan Turley saying, again, he was surprised that this case was brought.
But it's an extraordinary moment.
It took too long.
It should never have happened.
This case, in my view, should never have been brought.
And I don't think that even Alvin Bragg would try to get around double jeopardy in this case.
I think it would be absurd.
They just acquitted him on the lesser crime.
Double jeopardy cases are often argued back and forth by prosecutors, but even in New York, I think that would be a ludicrous step to take.
And so he is very likely out of this.
He is facing a civil case.
It's an interesting situation because he was just acquitted under a quasi criminal negligence standard.
He's now going to be forced into a civil case with a lower standard of proof.
But still, he was able to beat the lower standard on the criminal side.
So we'll have to watch how this goes forward.
But he should never have been put through this in the first place.
Okay, he's right.
He never should have been put through it in the first place, but he had a lot of other powers and beings at work.
And there was an agenda.
And that's what's so sad.
And that's what's so scary about all of this.
An agenda run by this guy, right?
Oops, that's a gal.
She had an agenda too.
I thought I was going to a picture of Biden.
Fannie Willis, right now, refusing to play ball, will not actually cooperate.
She is resisting the subpoenas right now by state lawmakers over the Trump prosecution.
I'm going to tell you, you know what?
she's going to wind up seeing her fat Fannie in jail as well.
Mike Davis, Trump's attorney, saying Letitia James better watch out because they're going to put her fat ass in prison.
Well, Fannie's Fannie is about to be heading to prison as well because she's not willing to cooperate.
And what happens to people that just refuse to be subpoenaed?
Well, she's a lawyer.
She ought to know.
Look what happened to Steve Bannon.
Look what happened to Peter Navarro.
They were asked to come in and testify.
They were subpoenaed and they refused the subpoena.
And guess what?
They went to jail.
So Fannie Willis.
is now in jeopardy of going to jail because she's refusing these subpoenas.
And you know what?
If she's going to continue the refusal, then absolutely she should go to jail.
Donald Trump saying over the weekend that he's not really looking for this retribution.
He's not interested in it.
He wants to move on.
He wants to make the economy better.
He wants to bring down prices.
He wants to seal the border.
But I'm just saying, if you allow the likes of this woman to refuse the subpoena, If you allow the Alvin Braggs of the world to just go after people because of the color of the skin, of their skin, or their name, which has political connotations, i.e. one Donald Trump, then I think we got a real problem as a society.
So this isn't about retribution.
This isn't about payback.
This is not about anything.
You got to actually go after the people that are in the system that are trying to manipulate it so that nobody else stands a chance.
They go after political enemies for a reason.
This Letitia James, listen.
It's the only thing she's got.
She's doing this for political purposes.
She can't raise money unless she's got an enemy.
So she's continuing to target Donald Trump.
And I'm telling you guys, it's getting old.
All right?
Come up with something new, lady.
Because really and truly, as Davis said, you're going to find your fat, you know what, right in the slammer.
And lastly, I congratulate the president elect Donald Trump.
And if possible, we will work with his administration.
But we will not compromise our values or our integrity or our principles.
We did not expect this result, but we are prepared to respond to this result.
And my office has been preparing for several months because we've been here before, we faced this challenge before, and we use the rule of law to fight back.
And we are prepared.
To fight back once again.
Because, as the Attorney General of this great state, it is my job to protect and defend the rights of New Yorkers and the rule of law.
And I will not shrink from that responsibility.
Okay, there's nothing for you to fight, honey.
Okay?
It's game over.
Did you not see what was decided at the Supreme Court level?
She's going to sit there and insist that she's still got a leg to stand on because it's a state case.
And that somehow, I mean, by the way, I thought that the appeals court at least decided that the.
The 500 million was a bit excessive, right?
Didn't they have to reduce that fine?
This news just coming to us moments ago.
If you're just tuning in right now out of MSNBC, Letitia doesn't seem to get the message.
Not like Whoopi did anyway.
Take a look.
It's a $470 million civil fraud judgment against President elect Donald Trump.
Joining us now with more is MSNBC's Lisa Rubin.
Lisa, good morning.
What does this mean?
Good morning, Jose.
President Trump's lawyers are trying to get the New York Attorney General to set aside that case.
But as they said in their letter today, They're refusing to do so because that case, which was a civil litigation, is primarily and almost exclusively about his pre presidential conduct and running the Trump organization.
And as they say in their letter, there are over a dozen other defendants who are part of that $450 million plus civil fraud judgment.
I want to point out also that this is part of their strategy to sort of extend the presidential immunity argument from the opinion over the weekend.
You can see them do that with the New York DA's office as well.
That office is.
Brief in response to a motion to dismiss the New York Hush Money case, where there is also a verdict, is expected later today.
We should expect to see them also fight back against the idea that the judgment has to be thrown out merely because Trump is going to be president again.
Okay, so here's the problem Lisa Rubin thing these attorneys, whether it be Alvin Bragg or Letitia James, they're just clinging to this.
They want to try and live another day because they need money for their campaigns and they have.
Listen, I've played you the sound bite.
I'm not going to put you through it again.
But she's gone on and on and on and on about how awful he is and how you need to vote for her because she's the only one who can fight him.
And listen, I'm just telling you, she's increasingly on thin ice.
Fannie Willis thinks that she can defy the law down there in Georgia, that she doesn't have to answer a subpoena.
Letitia thinks that she can sue the president of the United States straight into bankruptcy.
I mean, this is kind of twisted and kind of weird, just saying.
And again, thank you, Mike Davis.
We need a few more attorneys out there saying exactly what he's got going on.
Let me just say this to Big Tish James, the New York Attorney General.
I dare you.
I dare you to try to continue your lawfare.
Against President Trump in his second term.
Because listen here, sweetheart, we're not messing around this time, and we will put your fat ass in prison for conspiracy against rights.
And I promise you that.
Bitcoin Strengthens US00:11:22

So it'll be a good one this year.
But listen, it's a hard time to kind of keep focused on staying healthy.
And at least I know like if I take my vitamins and I get my vitamin D, et cetera, that I'm going to be better off for it.
So One of our great sponsors on the show, Balance in Nature.

Again, TrishLovesGold.com, which brings me actually. to a topic I love talking about, which happens to be Bitcoin.
I've been following this for like ever, guys.
Like I did a little less so at Fox because for whatever reason, not enough people were interested in it.
And I think I'm still sort of experiencing the same thing.
You guys are not really that interested in it.
But you know what?
I'm committed.
And sometimes I'm going to tell you about stuff that you may not be that interested in because I'm really interested in it.
And I think that it's an opportunity that you probably don't want to ignore.
I mean, this is not, you know, money that's for the kids college education or for for anything you really need.
This is like, you know, I could go to Vegas this weekend, but maybe I just throw it into Bitcoin instead.
I want you to hear Eric Trump speaking at a conference, I guess this was sometime within the last 24 hours, with his prediction on where Bitcoin prices, don't forget, they just hit around 100K just a couple days ago.
We had the 100K party.
Now we're in the 90s.
This is Eric Trump saying where he thinks Bitcoin's going to go.
Watch.
I can tell you a lot of eyes were opened when Bitcoin hit.
100,000.
And I can tell you a hell of a lot more eyes are going to be opened when Bitcoin hits 1 million.
And I'm confident it's going to hit 1 million.
And I think we're all confident in this room that it's going to hit a million.
A million.
Imagine that.
Well, here's a few things going on that you should just be aware of.
Here's the story in Axios today.
What to watch?
Quote, Trump is going to be very focused on the price of Bitcoin.
A top transition source told us it's another stock market for him, the source explained, adding that Trump would love for Bitcoin to hit 150K early in his presidency.
The bottom line, Andreessen, co-founder of the iconic venture firm Andreessen Horowitz, tweeted on Sunday, political power is translating into financial power every day of the week.
And Bitcoin is going to be one of the beneficiaries of this.
You saw Michael Saylor, who was on the program the other day.
Michael Saylor is the largest holder of Bitcoin from a personal level and also from his corporate level with MicroStrategy's ticker symbol MSTR.
Michael Saylor is like the bomb, okay?
I'm just going to say that.
Like he's like, he's it, right?
Like he's thinking about this.
He's super smart, by the way.
Like, seriously, like a rocket scientist.
Like he's like Elon Smart, okay?
And he's made a lot of money for shareholders.
The stock has been on a tear.
And again, this is not like, you know, the savings that you're clinging to.
This is when you have something left over and you just kind of want to enjoy the ride.
He's writing, Eric Trump shared his views on the significance of Bitcoin and the role that he and Donald Trump expect to play in the future.
The speech is extraordinary and I highly recommend watching it in full.
So he put the whole speech out on there.
I retweeted this so you can get it off of my Twitter account or on Michael Saylor's.
But listen, what's really interesting here, and Michael talked about this on the show, is that there is an opportunity to really move money forward and capital markets forward.
In a revolutionary way.
And before everybody freaks out and says, oh, it's going to replace the dollar.
Look, I asked him about this and I want you to hear what he said.
There's this jockeying for who's going to be the currency of the world, so to speak, and the dollar comes under pressure.
Is Bitcoin the answer, do you think?
Is that the currency of the world for the future?
And does it undermine or threaten the hegemonic power of the United States?
Yeah, I don't think Bitcoin threatens the US.
I think Bitcoin is strengthening the US.
I think that if you look at all the currencies in the world, the strongest currency in the world is the dollar.
And so everybody in the world has either got a weaker currency, which is collapsing, or they're on the dollar standard.
Like the euro is pretty much pegged to the dollar, the Singapore, the You know, the DROM, most of the quote unquote good currencies, you know, the Swiss franc, et cetera, they're pretty much pegged to the dollar.
And then the bad currencies, you know, the weak currencies, the peso, the naira, Egyptian pounds, Lebanese pounds, Turkish lira, they're collapsing against the dollar.
So it seems pretty clear that the dollar will continue to spread.
But there is an inflation problem.
The inflation rate in dollars is not the CPI, it's not 2% or 3%.
Okay, so I think it's really interesting.
I did a long interview.
We're going to put on the Trish Reagan on Bitcoin playlist.
But he's actually, and we didn't get into this as much.
I'll have to have him back on the program.
He's been laying out kind of a strategy for how the dollar still benefits in that scenario.
Because let's face it, even if you're transacting in Bitcoin, which allow you to do that 24-7, think about it.
And he made the great example.
Like you need money in, you know, and it's like three in the morning.
And you know, how on a Sunday, like three in the morning on a Sunday, how do you get the money?
Well, that's where Bitcoin kind of comes in because you would have a constant open market and money would be so much more fluid in that sense.
And that's the direction I do believe we're heading in.
So, how do you make sure that the US dollar and hegemonic power of the US dollar doesn't get suffocated in that environment?
And what he's kind of laying out, I think, is fascinating is the stablecoin environment.
Remember we were talking about Polymarket and I was showing you how, by the way, Polymarket was blowing the poles out of the water, but you couldn't actually trade on Polymarket's exchange.
You couldn't make these bets on political outcomes if you lived in the US because we have all these rules and regulations against it.
But they were actually doing this on something called the Ethereum blockchain.
So Bitcoin and Ethereum, they're a little bit different.
If you think about Bitcoin, it's kind of like that store of value and Ethereum is kind of like that working capital.
And so we had Sam Tabar.
Tamar, come on the show the other day.
You can look at that on the Trish Regan on Cryptos or Trish Regan on Bitcoin playlist because Sam talked about how Ethereum is writing contracts into the code.
And so what if you were to have these exchanges that actually were operating off of these digital codes, maybe with Bitcoin as the store of value?
And I say, okay, so where's the dollar and all that?
Well, at some point, you've got to cash these things out, right?
And you're going to use stable coins to do that.
So the stable coin companies are out there buying U.S. Treasuries and droves because they need to be able to turn around and hand you your own currency.
Rob and I have a piece on this actually coming up very soon I think it's this week.
We've been working on it.
So I encourage you to go to 76 Research, 76research.com.
Here we go.
Let me show you 76research.com this is actually.
This is not updated but um, because the portfolio has done even better since then.
But you can see our portfolio for the three months ending, 10 31, 24.
Our average median stock there, average stock up 7.9 percent versus the S P 500 during the exact same period of time, up 3.7 percent.
So you can see some of the picks, just real, real standouts, like the financials.
We've got one up 37, one up 35, 30 increase in our one of our energy picks, 29 in another.
So lots and lots and lots of upside.
We have not actually included bitcoin in any of these portfolios because they're designed to be sort of slow and steady.
Right, and let's just face it, like bitcoin's anything but slow and steady.
I encourage you to go to 76 Research, sign up for the 76 report.
Use code word dollar, d-o-l-l-a-r.
You'll get it for a dollar a month, just a dollar a month at 76research.com.
After the first two months you can cancel any time.
It goes to 995, but you can get all the information that we've been putting out, for example, on cryptos and on bitcoin and a whole bunch of other stuff, Disney included and some other names as well.
Or you can go over and do the free thing, which is invest in MAGA, because there's some names there, there's some sectors there as well.
Invest in Maga.com.
But listen, this is kind of an important time.
There's a lot to be enthusiastic about and excited about, and I just want to make sure that everybody gets included in all of this.
Peace in my mind.
Writing slow and steady wins the race.
It always does right.
It Always does.
My kids are doing some kind of school play, and my son just got cast as the hare.
They're doing like the, you know, the turtle and the hare.
And he's happy because he likes to be fast, but he's like, you know, mom, the fast one is not the one that wins.
And I'm like, oh, no, I know, I know, I know.
We all know the legend.
We all know the story.
Anyway, it's a very, sort of, very, very interesting space.
I see Don Backe winging, and he has a trading background.
You know, can this actually be that big?
I actually think it can.
I really do think it can.
And look, I've sat through some of, Michael Saylor's presentations on it.
So perhaps that is affecting some of my bias.
There's a couple great books on this as well.
And look, I've been around it since it was $10.
$10.
Okay.
I wish I had bought it when it was $10.
But we're at $100K now, roughly.
And I don't think Eric Trump is high when he says you could anticipate a much larger valuation in the future.
So listen, you got to watch this stuff.
It's important.
As much as we talk about politics, as much as we talk about the media, Listen, you got to take care of numero uno first.
So it's part of why I created 76 Research.
I encourage you to go there and check it out.
And I think, you know, you got to prioritize yourself and investing.
We're coming out with a beginner's guide to stocks.
I know a lot of you guys were looking for that.
So that's well worth signing up for.
And that'll be free for subscribers.
Actually, I think that's going to be free for everyone.
We want to make that available to as many people as we can.
It's wonderful to see you all here.
I will be back again tomorrow with much more good stuff ahead.
