=== Media Implosion in Real Time (09:11) ===

[00:00:01]  They really are dropping like flies.
[00:00:02]  It's like one after another after another after another.
[00:00:05]  I mean, there's a total implosion going on at NBC News.
[00:00:08]  I expect ABC is next to be followed by CBS.
[00:00:13]  A total remake of the media.
[00:00:15]  It's all happening in real time and you are right here with me for it.
[00:00:19]  It's kind of good, right?
[00:00:20]  I mean, we got Joy Reid out there sobbing, literally sobbing today, saying, my show had value.
[00:00:27]  Yeah, that lady, that lady, that lady.
[00:00:35]  Wait till you see it.
[00:00:37]  My show had value and that, I'm sorry, that what I was doing had value.
[00:00:50]  Or maybe it didn't.
[00:00:51]  Maybe it didn't have any value at all other than to you and your divisive cronies.
[00:00:57]  Well, NBC's had it.
[00:00:58]  The world has had it.
[00:00:59]  Comcast has had it.
[00:01:00]  Not just with you, Joy, but with a whole lot of other people, including, by the way, this is kind of a big deal.
[00:01:06]  the guy who ran the whole big signature show there lester holt it was reported today that he's leaving he's leaving on the heels of some guy named ayman mohaleddin and you got me i didn't watch much of him i think he was like a super pro gaza guy anyway he's out there's another one named katie fang not too familiar with her either she's out i mean the whole place is imploding in real time No,
[00:01:36]  you never know what's going to happen.
[00:01:40]  I mean, I thought they were done yesterday with Joy Reid.
[00:01:47]  And it turns out, no, they're not done.
[00:01:49]  They're going to keep on going and going and going.
[00:01:51]  And the question now becomes, like, who is next?
[00:01:54]  Why is this happening?
[00:01:55]  Okay, first of all, Lester's out.
[00:01:56]  And we're going to get to some other big news because my buddy Dan Bongino is now going to be deputy director at the FBI.
[00:02:02]  And let me tell you, this is like dream team.
[00:02:04]  Okay, you got Kosh, you got Dan, and there's a lot of major things that are going to happen.
[00:02:08]  So I want to get to that.
[00:02:10]  Clinton, watch out.
[00:02:12]  Hunter Biden, watch out.
[00:02:13]  This has got to be something else.
[00:02:16]  Letitia James, watch out.
[00:02:18]  But first of all, just the media nonsense.
[00:02:20]  I mean, Lester Holt is gone.
[00:02:22]  You've got Katie Fang, whoever she was, the other guy whose name I can't pronounce, gone.
[00:02:27]  And then you've got Joy Reid gone as well.
[00:02:30]  Now, I'm going to tell you, Lester, he may have come to the conclusion that, you know, he just didn't want to have to soften the tone of his newscast.
[00:02:38]  But he was kind of just a prompter reader.
[00:02:40]  Let's face it, the NBC Nightly News, it's a very different product than, say, the opinionated shows that you get on cable.
[00:02:46]  The problem with the opinionated shows on cable is they've gotten, well, a little too opinionated in a very dangerous, super aggressive way.
[00:02:56]  You know, yesterday I said something and one of you guys had a comment that I thought was super interesting.
[00:03:00]  Spirit-filled, by the way, thank you for your generosity.
[00:03:02]  I'm going to get to that in a second.
[00:03:03]  But one of you guys had a comment because I talked about how irresponsible her reporting was, reporting if you want to call it, just say commentary, Joy Reid's commentary was.
[00:03:14]  And you guys said, no, it wasn't irresponsible.
[00:03:16]  It was actually malicious.
[00:03:18]  And I think that's actually the right way to talk about it.
[00:03:21]  It was malicious reporting designed to increase hate.
[00:03:24]  I mean, you have only to go back to what she was saying about how she's done with white women.
[00:03:31]  I mean, come on, lady.
[00:03:36]  I just want to give some free advice to white progressives, particularly white progressive women who may be thinking about marching against the Trump victory, maybe putting back on the P-word hats and doing that thing.
[00:03:50]  I would just say probably don't send any of those invites to any black women you know.
[00:03:57]  I'm just going to tell you right now, they're not coming.
[00:03:59]  Like, I'm pretty sure black women have resigned from the Save America Coalition, Save Democracy Coalition, and definitely the Save the Democratic Party Coalition.
[00:04:10]  I think that's probably not happening.
[00:04:11]  I would just keep those invites maybe among your own friends because I don't think they're coming.
[00:04:18]  But yeah, I think black women are now on the Save Black Women.
[00:04:23]  You know, it's stuff like this that I think really did her in.
[00:04:26]  That combined with, oh, telling everybody not to go to Thanksgiving if you had any family members that voted for Trump.
[00:04:34]  I mean, come on, Comcast is a publicly traded company and they're trying to spin off MSNBC and get some little inkling of value out of the thing and you get crazy people like people may not feel so confident that they're safe with you.
[00:04:47]  This is not crazy.
[00:04:49]  This is legitimate feelings of fear of you and a feeling that you might not be someone they could trust.
[00:04:56]  Okay.
[00:04:58]  Yeah.
[00:04:59]  This came back to Haunter.
[00:05:00]  But this was really, this one was quite something.
[00:05:03]  She was actually trying to threaten other black people.
[00:05:06]  If you don't vote for Kamala Harris.
[00:05:09]  If you don't vote for Kamala Harris, then, you know, Joy Reid's disowning you, basically.
[00:05:20]  stratospheric entrance of Vice President Kamala Harris into the presidential campaign and she has now secured enough delegates to become the nominee, you're going to look real crazy being on the other side of that line, particularly as a person of color, but really as anyone who claims to have any connection to the culture.
[00:05:49]  You're going to look real weird and real lonely on that side.
[00:05:53]  Oh, I wonder who's so Weird and lonely now, shall we say.
[00:05:57]  Okay, so this is good, you guys.
[00:05:58]  Joy Reid, absolutely sobbing.
[00:06:02]  Joy Reid, crying her little eyes out because Joy Reid is so upset that she has lost her little platform that, by the way, nobody watched.
[00:06:12]  They had like 53,000 viewers a night in the demo tuning in.
[00:06:17]  I think we get more than that over here.
[00:06:19]  Reminder, subscribe, share, like, all that good stuff.
[00:06:21]  But I got to play for you.
[00:06:22]  Joy Reid having this total meltdown.
[00:06:25]  She's crying her eyes out.
[00:06:27]  Crying her eyes out because she's like, I just, I can't believe this has happened, right?
[00:06:32]  I just can't believe that I am out of a job.
[00:06:35]  And then my thing had value.
[00:06:37]  It was so important what I was doing.
[00:06:40]  In your head, girl, in your head.
[00:06:44]  My show had value.
[00:06:46]  And that, I'm sorry, that what I was doing had value, had value.
[00:06:57]  And in the end, I'm sorry, I try not to cry on TV and I take this.
[00:07:00]  Kind of like me on TV, so I apologize.
[00:07:03]  And that it kind of mattered.
[00:07:06]  I see Karen is there and she's been texting me as well.
[00:07:09]  And so, what I will just say is that in the end, thank you, where I land is that the moment of guilt that I felt that I went hard on so many issues, whether it was the Black Lives Matter issues of a young baby or a mom or a dad that was killed or When we opened up people's eyes to the fact that Asian Americans were being targeted and not just black folks,
[00:07:38]  that or went hard for immigrants who've done nothing but come to this country like my parents did.
[00:07:43]  Okay, and so she goes on to talk all about her woke agenda and how she's fighting for the woke agenda and that's fighting the good fight.
[00:07:52]  Now, let me just say that this woman was actually really vindictive and yes, to use the words of one of our viewers yesterday, malicious in how she covered now President Trump during the election.
[00:08:05]  This was a clip just moments before people were going to the voting booths.
[00:08:10]  And we begin our final sprint having arrived at that point in the election season where basically we on this side of the TV screen have said all we can.
[00:08:20]  We've laid out the stakes in this crucial election where one side stands for freedom while the other meets the textbook definition of fascism, namely a far-right dictatorial regime like Hitler's Germany or Franco's Spain or Mussolini's Italy,
[00:08:35]  but also white-ruled South Africa before Mandela and the black majority took control or Vladimir Putin's Russia, Viktor Orban's Hungary or Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela today that suppresses the rights of women and minorities.
[00:08:51]  uses the military to execute the whims of a strongman dictator, and controls and suppresses the press, education, the arts, rewrites history to suit a favored and dominant racial class, and foments extravagant corruption in order to enrich the dictator and his friends.

=== Sweet Justice for Lost Power (04:01) ===

[00:09:12]  We've warned you about Donald Trump's profound unfitness for office, from his theft of classified documents and attempted insurrection to his clear cognitive and physical decline.
[00:09:23]  to what he plans to do if he returns to power.
[00:09:27]  Well, you know what?
[00:09:28]  He did return to power.
[00:09:31]  And you completely lost all your power.
[00:09:33]  How's that for sweet justice?
[00:09:35]  Oh my gosh, this woman, unbelievable, unbelievable.
[00:09:39]  I mean, and by the way, oh, I got more for you.
[00:09:42]  I got more for you because the night of the election, you should have seen Rachel Maddow.
[00:09:46]  You should have seen Joy Reid.
[00:09:48]  You should have seen all of them.
[00:09:49]  We're going to play it, okay?
[00:09:50]  We have to play it because MSNBC, they're not done.
[00:09:54]  They got to go after more people because you got to clean house and actually fix this thing for real.
[00:09:58]  I want to say hello, Mr. Morrison.
[00:10:00]  Welcome.
[00:10:00]  He's a new team member here on The Trish Regan Show.
[00:10:03]  We appreciate you joining that little team.
[00:10:05]  We occasionally, you know, we do little things that are just for team members so you get access to all that good stuff.
[00:10:11]  Speaking of access to good stuff, 76research.com.
[00:10:15]  That's my financial research company.
[00:10:16]  I started with a dear friend who's absolutely brilliant.
[00:10:19]  He's been picking stocks for 20 years and doing an amazing job at it, running billions of dollars.
[00:10:23]  And now we have him at 76research, co-founder of the company with me.
[00:10:27]  Look at these numbers.
[00:10:28]  I mean, it's really, I believe, I believe in what's happening in terms of the growth that's coming for America.
[00:10:35]  I believe in the economic policy of this administration.
[00:10:38]  So I'm super excited about it.
[00:10:39]  I want you to have a chance to be part of this excitement.
[00:10:42]  Go look at the model portfolios.
[00:10:43]  We have American Resilience, which is all about growth.
[00:10:46]  We have inflation protection, which is, you know, protecting what you have.
[00:10:50]  We have the income builder, which is for anybody who wants to retire one day, you got to be able to live off of something, right?
[00:10:55]  And so one of the things that we have actually in the income builder portfolio, inflation protection as well, is gold.
[00:11:01]  And gold has just been on a tear, as you know.
[00:11:05]  I had the CEO of American Heart for Gold, one of our show sponsors actually on the program the other day, Max Baker.
[00:11:10]  And we were talking about the reasons for it.
[00:11:11]  Part of it's because emerging market countries all around the world are saying, hey, I'm not so sure I'm feeling so good about U.S. Treasury bonds.
[00:11:17]  And so they're buying gold instead.
[00:11:20]  So it's their diversification.
[00:11:21]  I mean, we don't necessarily love it, right, as the U.S., but it's a diversification move for them away from the U.S.
[00:11:27]  I like it because, well, you know, when the you know what hits the fan, God forbid it ever would, gold is something that keeps its value.
[00:11:34]  I also like it because it's a great hedge on inflation.
[00:11:39]  And even with everything that the president is doing to try and bring down inflation, I still worry about it.
[00:11:43]  So with that in mind, give them a ring or actually just go to trishlovesgold.com today.
[00:11:50]  Trishlovesgold.com, you can get up to $15,000 in free silver.
[00:11:53]  Like my silver dress, right?

[00:12:01]  It's kind of futuristic, right?

[00:12:19]  But I'm telling you, you go back, okay, in history.
[00:12:22]  And remember, remember what we're dealing with right now.
[00:12:25]  They're all out.
[00:12:26]  Like the NBC Nightly News anchor, he's out.
[00:12:29]  I'm not sure really what was going on there.
[00:12:31]  I have a feeling Joy Reid was just insufferable and very difficult to deal with.
[00:12:35]  And they're hoping that Simona Sanders, who's going to replace her and some others, are going to be a little bit easier.
[00:12:42]  I don't know.
[00:12:43]  But here she is again, sobbing, sobbing, sobbing because the day has come.
[00:12:49]  My show had value.
[00:12:51]  And that, I'm sorry, that what I was doing.
[00:12:59]  Had value.
[00:13:01]  Had value.
[00:13:02]  And in the end, I'm sorry, I try not to cry on TV.
[00:13:05]  And I take this is kind of like being on TV, so I apologize.
[00:13:09]  And that it kind of mattered.
[00:13:10]  I see Karen is there and she's been telling me.

=== White Tears and Show Value (03:32) ===

[00:13:14]  You know what?
[00:13:14]  The show didn't matter.
[00:13:15]  The show had no value.
[00:13:17]  Nobody was watching.
[00:13:18]  And the only people that cared were actually people that wanted to double down on hate.
[00:13:23]  And that's exactly what you did.
[00:13:25]  I mean, that's exactly what you did.
[00:13:27]  I have only to go back and look at remember her white tears?
[00:13:31]  Remember this one guys?
[00:13:32]  This is important.
[00:13:33]  This is a very good contrast.
[00:13:35]  Somebody put this up online of Joy Reed talking about white tears versus her tears that she has today.
[00:13:43]  Let's see.
[00:13:44]  Is it working?
[00:13:44]  It's not working.
[00:13:45]  Okay, we're going to try this again because I think this is a good one for you guys to see.
[00:13:52]  Yeah.
[00:13:54]  Let me see.
[00:13:54]  I'm going to tell the producer right now.
[00:13:56]  I need the clip because this is killer.
[00:14:01]  This is absolutely killer.
[00:14:03]  I mean, she's white tears, white tears.
[00:14:03]  Absolutely killer.
[00:14:08]  Come on, right?
[00:14:11]  Give me a break.
[00:14:12]  This is somebody who actually just built her entire career on this idea of hate.
[00:14:19]  And it's amazing to me that you can actually have a career that's built entirely just on hate and division like that.
[00:14:26]  I mean, what are we doing as a society rewarding that?
[00:14:29]  Was that all part of Biden's DEI plan?
[00:14:33]  If so, that's really, really wrong.
[00:14:35]  But don't forget, just before the election, right, or on election night, I should say, they were kind of just they didn't believe this could happen.
[00:14:43]  This was like a total meltdown moment for them because the night of the election, as these numbers came in from Rachel Maddow to the rest of them, Joy Reid, they had to come to grips with the reality.
[00:14:54]  And they'd been living in this crazy la la land for way too long.
[00:14:58]  Trump has now taken the lead in Bucks County.
[00:15:00]  NBC News now projects that in the battleground state of Georgia in the presidential race, Donald Trump has prevailed.
[00:15:09]  The Republican Party will control the United States Senate.
[00:15:12]  This is live from Howard University in Washington, D.C.
[00:15:16]  We still have votes to count.
[00:15:18]  We still have states that have not been called yet.
[00:15:23]  We will continue overnight to fight to make sure that every vote is counted.
[00:15:32]  Thank you all.
[00:15:33]  A short and to the point statement from Cedric Richmond, the Harris campaign co chair.
[00:15:41]  You now see them turn as one to start to leave the grounds.
[00:15:45]  The evening was getting increasingly somber as people realized.
[00:15:49]  What this map is looking like.
[00:15:50]  They turned off the TV set and just piped up the music because the room was starting to get increasingly somber.
[00:15:57]  You know, we always knew it was going to be down to the blue wall, and the blue wall is still uncalled at this point.
[00:16:03]  But it sounds like the Harris campaign is sort of keeping things tight in terms of whether or not they're going to string people along into thinking this is going to happen.
[00:16:11]  What they went to that venue tonight hoping to see and witness was a historic election of Kamala Harris to the presidency.
[00:16:20]  Yeah.
[00:16:20]  Was the end of the Trump era as they knew it.
[00:16:24]  And so we don't know the outcome yet, but that is not what they are receiving.
[00:16:29]  And they are being told to go home and wait till tomorrow.
[00:16:35]  And nothing that was true yesterday about how flawlessly this campaign was run is not true now.
[00:16:42]  I mean, this really was an historic, flawlessly run campaign.

=== Flawless Campaign Ends Now (15:51) ===

[00:16:46]  She had Queen Latifah never endorses anyone.
[00:16:49]  She came out and endorsed them.
[00:16:50]  You know, I mean, she had every.
[00:16:53]  Prominent celebrity voice, she had the Swifties, she had the beehive.
[00:16:57]  Like, you could not have run a better campaign in Western Europe.
[00:17:01]  Sorry, I'm still getting over a cold, so I have to be careful about laughing too hard.
[00:17:12]  But I'm sorry, that was really funny.
[00:17:14]  She's saying, Oh, what a brilliant campaign!
[00:17:16]  Well, you know, if it was such a well run campaign, let me just tell you, you would have won, but it was a terrible campaign.
[00:17:23]  And I'm sorry, Queen Latifah.
[00:17:24]  Her endorsement means zilch to the rest of America because Queen Latifah doesn't live in real America.
[00:17:31]  Queen Latifah isn't worrying about the price of eggs.
[00:17:34]  In fact, the more that campaign doubled down on their woke Hollywood celebrities from Queen Latifah to Beyonce to Oprah, who by the way was paid, according to the New York Times, two million bucks to sit down and do that interview that nobody watched on YouTube with Kamala Harris.
[00:17:52]  I mean, that's wild.
[00:17:55]  But you know, why were they so invested?
[00:17:57]  You've got to ask, and by the way, Dan Bongino, Kash Patel, they're going to get to the bottom of this.
[00:18:02]  Elon is already looking at all of this.
[00:18:05]  He's figured out that USAID was actually selling a pro-Biden, pro-woke, insane agenda.
[00:18:13]  I mean, the trans stuff alone, it's really bonkers.
[00:18:16]  But anyway, they were spending hordes of money to the tune of $50 million to the New York Times, $8.2 million going to Politico.
[00:18:23]  And before somebody says, oh, that's fake news.
[00:18:25]  No, it's not fake news.
[00:18:27]  You know why?
[00:18:27]  Politico came up with a $10,000 a year subscription that they would give to government employees.
[00:18:33]  Nobody needs a $10,000 a year Politico subscription.
[00:18:35]  I mean, maybe a Bloomberg terminal subscription.
[00:18:39]  Definitely not a political one.
[00:18:41]  That was what you call a pass-through, okay?
[00:18:43]  So they can wink, wink, nod, nod.
[00:18:45]  Nobody uses the thing, but oh, they can collect 8.2 million bucks off of the whole shebang.
[00:18:51]  Listen, David Sachs is all over this.
[00:18:54]  He's our new crypto czar.
[00:18:55]  I've played this soundbite for you guys before, but I want you to hear it again because it's really well said.
[00:19:00]  It's nuts.
[00:19:01]  I mean, even the BBC, 8% of their income was coming from good old USAID.
[00:19:06]  Okay, so we knew the US government runs a $2 trillion deficit every year.
[00:19:13]  We're in debt almost $40 trillion.
[00:19:15]  And we also knew that anytime anyone tries to cut anything in Washington, the whole city screams bloody murder.
[00:19:21]  Okay, so the question is just why?
[00:19:23]  Well, now we know the money is all going to them.
[00:19:26]  It's like round tripping to them.
[00:19:28]  New York Times, getting paid.
[00:19:30]  Politico, getting paid.
[00:19:32]  Bill Kristol, perennial warmonger, getting paid.
[00:19:37]  Ukraine, getting paid.
[00:19:38]  Like 11 out of 12 publications in Ukraine, getting paid.
[00:19:40]  Incredible.
[00:19:41]  Viktor Orban, who's the prime minister of Hungary.
[00:19:43]  Was saying that he's very popular in Hungary.
[00:19:46]  His political opposition funded by USAID.
[00:19:49]  In Poland, the left wing political opposition funded by USAID, and on and on and on it goes.
[00:19:56]  BBC.
[00:19:57]  BBC.
[00:19:57]  You wonder why everyone in the UK is so.
[00:19:59]  Yeah.
[00:19:59]  Yeah.
[00:20:00]  Like everyone.
[00:20:01]  I couldn't believe the BBC is getting paid.
[00:20:04]  Every left wing organization in the world seems to be getting paid by this slush fund at USAID, which disburses about $50 billion a year.
[00:20:11]  That's a billion dollars a week.
[00:20:13]  That's actually a lot of money.
[00:20:15]  And so it just makes you wonder, you know, the left in general tries to portray itself as a movement of the people, that it's grassroots.
[00:20:23]  This is the exact opposite.
[00:20:24]  This is AstroTurf.
[00:20:25]  This is basically money coming from the top down out of Washington to fund all of these groups, maybe not even in the United States, like all over the world.
[00:20:33]  So it makes you wonder what is the real level of local support for these left wing policies all over the world?
[00:20:42]  Zilts, okay?
[00:20:43]  Like people don't believe that 12 and 13 year old kids should be getting. operations that are life-changing because there's a transgender population that thinks, you know, you need to get these operations at that age.
[00:20:55]  We don't even allow them to smoke or drink or vape, but somehow you can go under the knife for that.
[00:21:01]  I'm sorry.
[00:21:02]  No, it's messed up.
[00:21:05]  But they embraced this wokeism.
[00:21:07]  They tried to spread it throughout the world.
[00:21:09]  They paid U.S. entities.
[00:21:11]  Reuters, for example, was getting a ton of money.
[00:21:14]  AP, $52 million.
[00:21:15]  That's crazy.
[00:21:18]  And so you wonder, I mean, I kept saying, I'm like, why am I the only one who's like, what is the media doing?
[00:21:23]  Why are they doing this over and over and over again?
[00:21:26]  Why do I have to hear that Donald Trump is the next thing since Hitler when, by the way, I mean, like incredibly insulting to the five, six million Jews that were slaughtered in World War II, incredibly insulting to all of our soldiers that fought and many of whom died, saving this nation from Hitler and the world from Hitler.
[00:21:51]  How insulting to our allies.
[00:21:54]  And they just throw this language around like it's nothing?
[00:21:58]  I mean, that's what this lady was doing who hosts their morning show.
[00:22:01]  Is she next?
[00:22:02]  Is Mika Brzezinski going to get fired along with our hubby, Joe Scarborough?
[00:22:05]  You need to believe him.
[00:22:07]  And these are the final hours.
[00:22:09]  We need you.
[00:22:10]  We need you, and all of you to vote.
[00:22:14]  Yeah.
[00:22:16]  There you go.
[00:22:18]  So, Mika, I think you heard us before you came out.
[00:22:20]  We were talking earlier about yesterday's Trump.
[00:22:24]  Rally from hell at Madison Square Garden.
[00:22:27]  So, what did you make of it?
[00:22:28]  Well, I think it was everything that you need to know about Donald Trump in one weird white nationalist Nazi type rally.
[00:22:38]  And of course, there's historic parallels to where and when this happened.
[00:22:42]  Wow.
[00:22:47]  Again, highly irresponsible.
[00:22:50]  So, you had her hubby doing that.
[00:22:52]  I've played you a lot of those sound bites before.
[00:22:54]  You had Joy Reid doing that.
[00:22:58]  You had Rachel Maddow doing that.
[00:23:00]  You had Lawrence O'Donnell doing that.
[00:23:02]  So they're firing all these people.
[00:23:03]  They're getting rid of Lester Hall.
[00:23:04]  I actually never heard Lester do that.
[00:23:07]  Lester was like much more of a clean shop.
[00:23:09]  I think that one is sort of like Lester's kind of had it and he wants out because, you know, he doesn't want anybody messing with his scripts.
[00:23:15]  I don't know.
[00:23:15]  I don't know what was going on with the Lester thing, but they got rid of these other people that are, you know, really, really left and really, really liberal.
[00:23:24]  And there seems to be this cleansing, but unless you actually cleanse I think all of them, you're going to continue to have problems.
[00:23:32]  Donald Trump weighing in on this today, and this was kind of funny.
[00:23:36]  He's taking aim at the guy who runs the whole place, and that would be none other than Brian Roberts, who runs Comcast.
[00:23:44]  Comcast is the parent company of NBC Universal, of course, which owns NBC and MSNBC.
[00:23:51]  So he said, Brian Roberts, lowlife, lowlife chairman of Comcast, not Comcast, Brian Roberts, the owner of Ratings Challenge NBC and MS. DNC, you got it, you got it, has finally gotten the nerve up to fire one of the most or the least talented people in all of television, the mentally obnoxious, racist Joy Reid.
[00:24:13]  Based on her ratings, which were virtually non-existent, she should have been canned long ago, along with everyone else who works there.
[00:24:21]  Also thrown out, Alex Wagner.
[00:24:23]  I forgot to mention her.
[00:24:25]  Alex Wagner, the sub on the seriously failing Rachel Maddow show.
[00:24:30]  Rachel rarely shows up because she knows there's nobody watching.
[00:24:34]  And she also knows that she's got less television persona than virtually anyone on television except perhaps Joy Reid.
[00:24:43]  Then there's, of course, the low IQ con man, Al Sharpton.
[00:24:48]  Oh, he's another one, right?
[00:24:49]  That got the 500 grand right before he sat down with Kamala Harris for that MSNBC interview.
[00:24:54]  I mean, what are these people doing?
[00:24:55]  They're running quite a shop, for goodness sakes.
[00:24:58]  The low IQ con man, Al Sharpton, who has perhaps the lowest TV ratings in the history of television.
[00:25:06]  What is he doing to Brian Roberts to stay on the air?
[00:25:10]  This whole corrupt operation is nothing more than an illegal arm of the Democrat Party.
[00:25:14]  They should be forced to pay vast sums of money for the damage they have done to our country.
[00:25:20]  Fake news is an unpardonable sin.
[00:25:25]  So he's getting no use for this network.
[00:25:27]  Of course, he also was calling them a threat to democracy in the wake of the NBCUniversal lawsuit settlement.
[00:25:34]  Just unbelievable.
[00:25:36]  But you know, I played for you that little clip of Mika, and you know that Mika couldn't stand Donald Trump, nor could her husband stand Donald Trump.
[00:25:44]  And yet, I think these two know which way the wind blows.
[00:25:50]  I mean, while Joy's doubling down and telling everybody not to go to Thanksgiving dinner, look what they ran off and did.
[00:25:58]  Over the past week, Joe and I have heard from so many people, from political leaders to regular citizens, deeply dismayed by several of President elect Trump's cabinet selections, and they are scared.
[00:26:11]  Last Thursday, we expressed our own concerns on this broadcast and even said we would appreciate the opportunity to speak with the president elect himself.
[00:26:20]  On Friday, we were given the opportunity to do just that.
[00:26:25]  Joe and I went to Mar a Lago to meet personally with President elect Trump.
[00:26:31]  It was the first time we have seen him in seven years.
[00:26:36]  Now, we talked about a lot of issues, including abortion, mass deportation, threats of political retribution against political opponents.
[00:26:44]  And media outlets.
[00:26:45]  We talked about that a good bit.
[00:26:47]  And it's going to come as no surprise to anybody who watches this show, has watched it over the past year or over the past decade, that we didn't see eye to eye on a lot of issues, and we told him so.
[00:27:01]  What we did agree on was to restart communications.
[00:27:05]  My father often spoke with world leaders with whom he and the United States profoundly disagreed.
[00:27:12]  That's a task shared by reporters and commentators alike.
[00:27:16]  We had not.
[00:27:17]  Spoken to President Trump since March of 2020, other than a personal call Joe made to Trump on the morning after the attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania.
[00:27:29]  In this meeting, President Trump was cheerful.
[00:27:31]  He was upbeat.
[00:27:32]  He seemed interested in finding common ground with Democrats on some of the most divisive issues.
[00:27:40]  And for those asking why we would go speak to the president elect during such fraught times, especially between us, I guess I would ask.
[00:27:49]  Back, why wouldn't we?
[00:27:52]  Five years of political warfare has deeply divided Washington and the country.
[00:27:56]  We have been as clear as we know how in expressing our deep concerns about President Trump's actions and words in the coarsening of public debate.
[00:28:07]  But for nearly 80 million Americans, election denialism, public trials, and January 6th were not as important as the issues that moved them to send Donald Trump back to the White House with their vote.
[00:28:23]  Joe and I realize it's time to do something different.
[00:28:27]  And that starts with not only talking about Donald Trump, but also talking with him.
[00:28:33]  Boom!
[00:28:34]  Saving their jobs.
[00:28:36]  That's all that was about, guys.
[00:28:38]  So like, I don't know, they were getting USAID money or what was going on before because they sounded like crazy people about the World War II stuff and he's Mussolini and he's Hitler and he's this and he's that.
[00:28:47]  And I played this one clip.
[00:28:50]  I won't do it again because, you know, we don't need to see any more of these rather self-important individuals.
[00:28:56]  But Joe Scarborough was like wild.
[00:29:00]  Okay.
[00:29:00]  He's absolutely wild.
[00:29:01]  And then he's the same guy who was trying to tell you, best Biden I've ever seen.
[00:29:05]  Give me a break.
[00:29:05]  So they were singing some song and dance, not to be trusted.
[00:29:09]  Clearly, these are people that could not be trusted because what did they do?
[00:29:11]  As soon as Trump wins.
[00:29:13]  They're trying to save their tails, so they hightail it down to Mar-a-Lago.
[00:29:18]  And, you know, Trump's a nice guy and he's willing to talk to them, whatever.
[00:29:21]  But, like, come on.
[00:29:23]  First of all, they've alienated their audience because their audience is like, wait a second, where are you?
[00:29:27]  What are you doing?
[00:29:28]  Why would you do something like that?
[00:29:30]  Just look at the ratings.
[00:29:31]  I mean, for God's sakes, they're plummeted.
[00:29:33]  I mean, Morning Joe down 40%, Joy Reid down 55%.
[00:29:37]  So, yes, I would think that Morning Joe would definitely be in jeopardy, except for the fact that you got a couple of corporate players there.
[00:29:45]  who know how this game is played and they are going to do whatever they have to do to survive because They are survivalists and he's a politician and she's her own kind of politician.
[00:29:56]  I mean, after all, she married the boss, right?
[00:29:59]  Come on.
[00:30:00]  I mean, let's be realistic here.
[00:30:02]  Those two are going to manage to keep their jobs.
[00:30:05]  Everybody else, I'm not so sure of.
[00:30:07]  Rachel Maddow, I'm not so sure of, honestly.
[00:30:09]  Like, I don't know if she's going to be able to hang on.
[00:30:12]  Rachel Maddow is enormously talented at creating a narrative out of nothing that's crazy conspiratorial.
[00:30:25]  Like I remember during the Russia, Russia, Russia stuff, watching her and being like, and they think that we're those of us on the right out there because we don't actually believe this nonsense.
[00:30:41]  And she's like night after night after night, bated breath.
[00:30:43]  Oh my gosh.
[00:30:44]  And remember Trump's taxes.
[00:30:45]  She was going to get her hands on Trump's taxes.
[00:30:47]  I mean, she was trying to create this, this sort of dialogue with the viewer that would make them have to come back because she was going to have these little drips and drabs.
[00:30:58]  Of a crazy story.
[00:30:59]  So I will give her this.
[00:31:01]  She's talented okay, she's talented at what she does.
[00:31:04]  She's a talented conspiratorial con artist.
[00:31:10]  All right, that's what that's, Rachel Maddox.
[00:31:12]  She's not delivering the news, she's delivering some kind of conspiracy, and she's good at doing it.
[00:31:19]  So does she stay?
[00:31:20]  She may, she may.
[00:31:21]  She also and i've got specific intel on this because i've talked to the bosses at NBC before she's easier than others to work with, meaning she works well with management.
[00:31:33]  My hunch is that Joy Reid was just a disaster on every single level, right?
[00:31:38]  Like, and just nobody wanted to be around her.
[00:31:39]  Nobody could take her anymore.
[00:31:40]  And so they were like, sorry, hon, you're done.
[00:31:44]  The other two on the morning show, they kind of know how to play ball.
[00:31:47]  They're more political.
[00:31:48]  They're running down to Mar-a-Lago.
[00:31:50]  And then Rachel is somebody that they feel like they can work with.
[00:31:53]  So maybe she's okay.
[00:31:54]  Maybe Lawrence O'Donnell's okay and that they can work with him.
[00:31:58]  Al Sharpton, I don't know.
[00:32:00]  I think that Trump hit the nail on the head.
[00:32:02]  It's like, what has he got on Brian Roberts, right?
[00:32:04]  What does Al Sharpton got?
[00:32:06]  Because man, oh man, he really doesn't belong on television, period.
[00:32:11]  Definitely not.
[00:32:13]  Anyway, they're all gone.
[00:32:14]  They're starting a new show with this Simona Sanders and Michael Steele and Alicia Menendez.
[00:32:22]  And this is all courtesy of the new person who's running it, Rebecca Cutler.
[00:32:26]  I don't know much about her.
[00:32:27]  I assume she's cut from a similar cloth as some of these other libs, but she's not willing to put up with Joy's crapola, as we would say, right?

=== Al Sharpton Off Television (03:59) ===

[00:32:37]  Just no more of it.
[00:32:39]  You know, I will say that as they spin off into this spin co and they clean house and they try and get rid of some of the more toxic personalities.
[00:32:50]  It's just what you would call good business.
[00:32:52]  It makes sense.
[00:32:54]  But I think that there's going to be some more digging to be done, not just around the media, but around some politicians specifically, right?
[00:33:01]  Like Adam Schiff, Hillary Clinton, Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son.
[00:33:08]  And I'm really psyched because Joe Biden is going to be in trouble.
[00:33:11]  Hunter Biden is going to be in trouble.
[00:33:12]  Clinton is going to be in trouble because my friend Dan Bongino is going to the FBI.
[00:33:17]  This is amazing news, you guys.
[00:33:19]  Dan, I don't know if you've ever caught his podcast.
[00:33:21]  He's got a great show.
[00:33:22]  I've known him for many, many years.
[00:33:25]  He's salt of the earth.
[00:33:27]  He is just a wonderful person.
[00:33:30]  He has built an enormous following on that podcast, sort of single-handedly.
[00:33:35]  It's just amazing what he's created.
[00:33:37]  And he is a true patriot.
[00:33:40]  I mean that, a true patriot.
[00:33:42]  And I'm telling you, he's given up a lot.
[00:33:43]  I mean, I was sort of surprised because he's got a big show with a really, really big following, but he's heading straight to the FBI.
[00:33:52]  So he's going to be joining Kash Patel at the FBI.
[00:33:56]  As his deputy, and this is important.
[00:33:58]  We'll talk about it.
[00:33:59]  It's important for Cash to have somebody he can trust and you can trust anybody can trust Dan.
[00:34:04]  Let me tell you Dan is enormously trustworthy, a wonderful person, and he's going to do an amazing job here.
[00:34:11]  He is on his own program this morning talking about it again.
[00:34:15]  Regarding the show folks going forward, I will uh tell you how we're going to wind my portion of the show down and i'm just going to leave you with this before I get to uh Some other content, and we've got a couple more.
[00:34:28]  Uh, we've got some shows for you lined up, so I actually put a show together, even though it's been harder than I thought.
[00:34:38]  Yeah, it's hard for him, it's taken him a minute.
[00:34:42]  It's all real, you guys.
[00:34:44]  Totally, I didn't plan on this, I didn't plan on a lot of things, but I want you to know it is the honor of my lifetime, and I hope I'm making a plea to you all personally.
[00:34:58]  I hope you're not angry or upset at me for making this decision.
[00:35:02]  I knew it was the right thing to do, but there is a big cost, and I understand that.
[00:35:08]  There's a chance when the mission's over that you guys all disappear and go somewhere else.
[00:35:18]  I'm not going to lie to you, it's been on my mind for a long time.
[00:35:22]  I hope not.
[00:35:22]  I love you guys, but this is a mission I can't say no to.
[00:35:27]  Yeah.
[00:35:31]  He's such a good guy, you guys.
[00:35:35]  He's going to be great.
[00:35:37]  I know it's hard for him because, you know, he does this show every single day.
[00:35:41]  He didn't even take a vacation for the first two years.
[00:35:47]  I'm so proud of him.
[00:35:49]  And I know he's going to kill it.
[00:35:50]  And you know what?
[00:35:51]  The audience will be there.
[00:35:52]  I know if you guys watch him now, you're going to watch him when he comes back.
[00:35:56]  He's going to come back bigger than ever.
[00:35:58]  I really, I said to him this morning, I am so happy that you're going there because it just, it makes me feel good as an American that Dan Bongino is going to be there by Cash's side.
[00:36:11]  You know, it's hard because like everybody wants to take cash down.
[00:36:14]  You know, the knives are out and you need somebody who can help be your eyes and ears and cut through the BS.
[00:36:21]  And you don't want a repeat, shall we say, of what Trump went through in 2016.
[00:36:26]  And that's the danger you run.
[00:36:28]  Like Kash Patel goes into the FBI, all the FBI agents flip out and make his life H-E-L-L, much like they did in 2016 for Donald Trump.

=== Cash Down and Knives Out (15:23) ===

[00:36:37]  So in order to get real stuff accomplished, you got to have real people in there and you got to have people you trust.
[00:36:42]  And Dan is one of those guys.
[00:36:43]  So it's just amazing news.
[00:36:45]  I'm so thrilled.
[00:36:47]  For Dan, I'm thrilled for cash.
[00:36:49]  I'm thrilled for America, which is exactly what I said to Dan this morning.
[00:36:54]  I mean, it's so, so good.
[00:36:56]  You know who may not be so thrilled with this?
[00:36:59]  Dun, dun, dun.
[00:37:01]  Hillary Clinton.
[00:37:01]  You know, Dan used to actually be her Secret Service detail.
[00:37:04]  Yeah, that's an old photo of Dan Bongino back in the day when she was Secretary of State.
[00:37:11]  I think there's some investigations that need to happen.
[00:37:16]  And I'm going to go back to Russia, Russia, Russia.
[00:37:18]  Because let's not forget, everyone.
[00:37:21]  They tried to convince America that the Russians had video evidence, a tape of Donald Trump, I'm not going to say it, okay, doing really, really inappropriate things in a hotel room in Moscow.
[00:37:38]  The whole thing was made up.
[00:37:42]  But they used this in order to get a FISA warrant so that they could tap Carter Page, who was working for Donald Trump's campaign there in trump Tower and learn everything that the campaign was doing, all under this false pretense that somehow Donald Trump was a Russian asset.
[00:38:06]  But that was all built on a whole stack of lies.
[00:38:09]  It was opposition research.
[00:38:12]  So what had gone down was way back in the day, apparently some never Trumpers commissioned some opposition research.
[00:38:22]  And they went to Christopher Steele, who's an ex-Russia spy.
[00:38:26]  He's like, you know, British spy on Russia and used to run like the bureau there in Moscow.
[00:38:36]  And they figured, okay, well, maybe he can drum up some stuff, but they weren't able to come up with anything.
[00:38:40]  So they just started making it up.
[00:38:43]  And then it turned out that those never Trumpers, maybe they turned around, they decided they liked Trump.
[00:38:48]  And so there was this fiction out there on the marketplace that nobody was picking up.
[00:38:55]  So they took it to Hillary Clinton's campaign.
[00:39:00]  And how this went down was Perkins Coy, the law firm that was representing Hillary Clinton, then went over to Fusion GPS, the company that did the research.
[00:39:14]  That was the company, by the way, filled with, I guess, some former investigative reporters from the Wall Street Journal that were now, you know, hitmen for hire, if you ask me.
[00:39:23]  Fusion GPS went out and contracted Christopher Steele.
[00:39:27]  Christopher Steele went out and got some people, including somebody who the U.S. actually believed to be a Russian spy, believe it or not.
[00:39:34]  I mean, you can't make it up.
[00:39:35]  And then they concocted this dirty dossier, which led to the FISA warrant.
[00:39:44]  Like, how is that legal?
[00:39:46]  I mean, here we are saying, you know, maybe the virus came from Wuhan, China.
[00:39:51]  And they're like, oh, don't talk about that.
[00:39:53]  All right, you can't talk about that.
[00:39:54]  Nope, nope, nope, nope.
[00:39:55]  That's over.
[00:39:56]  Or, you know, maybe that Hunter Biden laptop actually really is Hunter's laptop.
[00:40:04]  New York Post, you lose your Twitter account.
[00:40:06]  Off with your head, right?
[00:40:08]  They were shutting stuff down left and right.
[00:40:11]  But somehow this thing got oxygen.
[00:40:14]  So Dan knows this inside and out.
[00:40:17]  He knows every little last angle.
[00:40:20]  And he's going to get to the bottom of that.
[00:40:22]  So Hillary Clinton, watch out.
[00:40:25]  I would also recommend that Hillary Clinton watch out for other reasons, which I'm going to get to.
[00:40:32]  But first, think about what it did to the country, for goodness sakes.
[00:40:36]  I mean, how much did we have to hear about how he wasn't really the president?
[00:40:39]  Hillary should have been the president.
[00:40:41]  The Russians stole the election.
[00:40:42]  The Russians, the Russians, the Russians.
[00:40:46]  Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia.
[00:40:48]  Enough, right?
[00:40:49]  Trump didn't actually win the election in 2016.
[00:40:50]  He lost the election and he was put into office because the Russians interfered.
[00:40:54]  Trump knows he's an illegitimate president.
[00:40:57]  The president elect, although legally elected, is not legitimate.
[00:40:59]  I don't see this president elect as a legitimate president.
[00:41:03]  You said you believe that Russia's interference altered the outcome of the election.
[00:41:08]  I do.
[00:41:09]  We have a president who, if in fact it is proven, Has been assisted by the Russians and may in fact not be a legitimate president.
[00:41:17]  The one thing that Trump is fearful of when it comes to his being president is that finally we will see how illegitimate his victory actually was.
[00:41:27]  I have an objection.
[00:41:28]  I object to the 15 votes from the state of North Carolina.
[00:41:30]  I object because people are horrified.
[00:41:32]  He's an illegitimate president.
[00:41:34]  Do you believe Trump is a legitimate president?
[00:41:37]  What I believe is that there's no question that the outcome of this election was affected by the Russian interference.
[00:41:42]  There absolutely is a cloud of illegitimacy.
[00:41:45]  So that legitimacy is in question, yes.
[00:41:46]  So that was a very tainted election.
[00:41:48]  And in that sense, it's illegitimate.
[00:41:52]  That's what they tried to do.
[00:41:54]  Okay, so now Donald Trump is coming back in and he's like, okay, we're not going there again.
[00:41:59]  This is a whole different ballgame, a whole different scene.
[00:42:03]  And he's got Kash Patel and Dan Bongino heading up the FBI.
[00:42:09]  And guess what?
[00:42:11]  They're not only going to look at Russia, Russia, Russia.
[00:42:14]  But Dan Bongino is very familiar, as is cash, with something called CGI, Clinton Global Initiative.
[00:42:23]  Peter Schweitzer did a ton of reporting on this.
[00:42:25]  He actually came out with a book called Clinton Cash.
[00:42:29]  And it alleges that there was this pay-to-play scheme in which CGI, the Clinton Foundation, was created to go around the world and help all these emerging market countries.
[00:42:43]  But in exchange, you know, these emerging market countries who had zillionaires in them.
[00:42:48]  Zillionaires, you know what I mean.
[00:42:49]  Billionaires, millionaires, whatever.
[00:42:51]  They had to pay sort of a fee for entry.
[00:42:53]  Now, it really ratcheted up between 2009 and 2013 while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State.
[00:43:07]  Now, think about this.
[00:43:07]  It shouldn't have happened, right?
[00:43:08]  Because didn't Obama have all these rules?
[00:43:12]  He was so annoyed.
[00:43:13]  It's why Hunter Biden apparently never registered as a foreign lobbyist, even though he was getting money from Romania and from Ukraine and from China and anywhere else he could.
[00:43:23]  Because Obama was like, no, no, I don't want anybody's family doing this.
[00:43:27]  But there was a special exception made for the Clinton Global Initiative, CGI.
[00:43:35]  Now, as a reporter, I would go to these things.
[00:43:37]  All right.
[00:43:37]  And I actually, I interviewed Clinton at one of them.
[00:43:41]  And I was always struck by the number of, say, random Nigerian billionaires getting their picture with Bill Clinton.
[00:43:52]  I worked at Bloomberg Television at the time, and then they'd be like, hey, we want you to have this Nigerian billionaire on television.
[00:43:59]  And I'm like, nobody understands what he says.
[00:44:01]  We're going to need subtitles or something.
[00:44:02]  Nobody cared.
[00:44:04]  Nobody cared.
[00:44:05]  Because I suspect, and I don't know this for sure, but there was some kind of thing going on, right?
[00:44:12]  You pay into the foundation.
[00:44:14]  The foundation has this relationship with certain media.
[00:44:17]  And then all of a sudden, you get your picture.
[00:44:20]  This guy in particular had his picture in the New York Times with Clinton.
[00:44:24]  And then you get to go on television and do this, that, and the other.
[00:44:27]  So this is what, again, I have no proof.
[00:44:29]  And Peter's been criticized for this reporting.
[00:44:33]  I'll tell you that.
[00:44:34]  But he's alleging that they were giving favorable treatment.
[00:44:38]  It goes on to talk about the Uranium One deal.
[00:44:41]  So Uranium One A lot of the uranium was coming from the U.S., and they had operations in the U.S., and there was this Russian company, Rosatom, that wanted to buy it.
[00:44:52]  And so in order for that merger to go through, it would have to go through something called CIFIUS, which is the organization, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, that would sign off on something like this.
[00:45:04]  And so CIFIUS can be kind of tough, right?
[00:45:08]  CIFIUS can be kind of tough.
[00:45:10]  And it's not always easy to get things through CIFIUS.
[00:45:13]  So what's interesting here is that the guy who ran this Uranium One company, Frank Jewstra, I'm not saying that right, he was actually a major donor to the Clinton Foundation.
[00:45:29]  I mean, he had given like 100 million bucks to CGI-related initiatives.
[00:45:36]  And so the fear was, or at least according to Peter's reporting, that this was somehow influencing the approval process.
[00:45:41]  Now, the administration would say, no, You know, it's a big committee, lots of people.
[00:45:48]  It's not just Hillary.
[00:45:50]  And so, no, it couldn't possibly have influenced things.
[00:45:53]  There was another case in Kazakhstan.
[00:45:57]  And it seemed like, you know, how was Bill Clinton getting 750 grand to speech in places like Kazakhstan from the government or 500,000 in Moscow?
[00:46:09]  Was Moscow trying to buy influence with the Secretary of State?
[00:46:13]  That's the question, okay?
[00:46:15]  That is a fair question to be asking.
[00:46:18]  And none of this was really fairly addressed ever.
[00:46:20]  And I think with Dan and cash in there, a lot of this is going to get looked at.
[00:46:26]  I mean, 32 million commitment from Bahrain's crown prince to CGI.
[00:46:34]  I mean, CGI is collecting, collecting, collecting, collecting.
[00:46:38]  I mean, their wealth is somewhere around 130 million bucks, apparently, right now.
[00:46:43]  It comes from speaking engagements.
[00:46:45]  Apparently, they don't draw a salary from CGI.
[00:46:48]  But here's the thing.
[00:46:49]  Like, if you have a charity like that and it's got all these hundreds of millions of dollars coming in, where does it go?
[00:46:55]  Apparently to overhead.
[00:46:58]  So they've raised billions.
[00:47:00]  But none of this money is allegedly getting to the victims.
[00:47:05]  So Haiti is a good example.
[00:47:08]  Haiti, I mean, even the guy who was running Haiti at the time said that the people that needed the money were not actually getting the money.
[00:47:18]  In fact, something like 10% of the funds that had been raised for Haiti actually made it.
[00:47:24]  This is Charles Ortel, alleged that the money didn't reach the intended recipients.
[00:47:29]  Only about 10% of the funds reportedly went to Haitian organizations.
[00:47:32]  and the rest were funneled to foreign contractors or went to foundation overhead.
[00:47:38]  This was after the 2010 earthquake.
[00:47:41]  So what was going on?
[00:47:44]  And is this in any way similar to what Hunter Biden was doing?
[00:47:49]  I mean, it's like a big scale version of what Hunter Biden was doing, but she's Secretary of State.
[00:47:53]  Like, why would she be?
[00:47:54]  I mean, I know we can investigate the server thing and whatever.
[00:47:57]  I mean, that is not as interesting to me as this because I want to know where the money is.
[00:48:01]  The money trail is everything.
[00:48:03]  You know me.
[00:48:04]  I'm a business reporter, right?
[00:48:05]  Quick shout out for our our 76 research, because look at those portfolios, they've all been doing so well.
[00:48:12]  American Resilience, Inflation Protection, Income Builder portfolios.
[00:48:15]  Go check them out there at 76research.com.
[00:48:18]  I would say Hunter Biden needs to watch out.
[00:48:23]  Hunter Biden could face a lot of trouble now that Dan Bongino and Kash Patel are in the sea.
[00:48:28]  And why would that be?
[00:48:29]  Oh, let's say Burisma.
[00:48:32]  So Burisma is a now defunct natural gas company that hired Hunter Biden when Hunter Biden's dad was vice president of the United States in charge of Ukraine policy.
[00:48:41]  And he was getting paid somewhere around 80K a month, which is outrageous.
[00:48:45]  Like there's no board job in the world to be on the board of this Burisma energy company.
[00:48:49]  He, by the way, didn't know anything about energy, but somehow was getting these gigs.
[00:48:55]  I mean, he had one in China.
[00:48:57]  He had one in Ukraine and one in Romania.
[00:48:59]  I mean, give me a break.
[00:49:00]  So what was that about other than access?
[00:49:04]  I read a piece in the New York Times recently, another one in the LA Times that said, well, that was just sort of par for the course that this actually happens all the time.
[00:49:11]  A lot of emerging market countries feel like if they hire a family member. they'll get better access, they'll get better treatment, they'll have more of a direct connection to the U.S. Scary, right?
[00:49:21]  Well, Obama, to his credit, and you know I don't credit Obama with like anything, to his credit said, no, we're not going to have family members doing this.
[00:49:31]  So in Hunter's case, he never registered as a foreign lobbyist despite collecting 80K a month from Burisma.
[00:49:39]  Well, what you should know is that there was a prosecutor that was investigating Burisma because Burisma was doing all kinds of funny things, and that's all since come out.
[00:49:51]  But Burisma didn't like that this prosecutor was investigating them.
[00:49:55]  So they spoke to Hunter, reportedly, and allegedly, Hunter went to Daddy.
[00:50:04]  And then Daddy, well, he did this.
[00:50:08]  Watch, he admits it.
[00:50:10]  This is a speech or something, a seminar he's giving at the Council on Foreign Relations with Richard Haas a few years back, talking with so much pride about how he got rid of that Ukrainian prosecutor, the allegedly corrupt Ukrainian prosecutor.
[00:50:27]  Corrupt according to who?
[00:50:29]  According to Burisma?
[00:50:31]  Or loan guarantees.
[00:50:33]  And I went over, I think it was the 12th, 13th time to Kyiv, and I was supposed to announce that there was another billion-dollar loan guarantee.
[00:50:43]  And I got the commitment from Poroshenko and from Yatsenyuk that they would take action against the state prosecutor, and they didn't.
[00:50:52]  So they said, they walked out to the press conference and said, nah, I said, we're not going to give you the billion dollars.
[00:50:58]  They said, you have no authority, you're not the president.
[00:51:02]  The president said, I said, call him.
[00:51:05]  I said, I'm telling you, you're not getting the billion dollars.
[00:51:07]  I said, you're not getting the billion, I'm going to be leaving here, and I think it was, what, six hours?
[00:51:11]  I looked at it and said, we're leaving in six hours.
[00:51:13]  If the prosecutor's not fired, you're not getting the money.
[00:51:16]  Oh, son of a bitch.
[00:51:18]  Got fired.
[00:51:18]  And they put in place someone who was solid at the time.
[00:51:23]  Well, they're still there.
[00:51:25]  So they made some genuine substantial changes institutionally.
[00:51:30]  He's trying to brag and say, I got rid of the corrupt prosecutor.
[00:51:38]  But when you peel back all the layers now and you look at what was really going on, Burisma wanted that prosecutor gone.
[00:51:46]  And I've played for you guys in the past.
[00:51:49]  It's in Ukrainian, so we have to translate it.
[00:51:52]  But that particular prosecutor has come forward and said he believes that he lost his job because he was looking into Burisma.

=== Mineral Rights Escalate to War (02:55) ===

[00:52:00]  And Hunter did make a phone call to daddy.
[00:52:03]  And then poof, what do you know?
[00:52:05]  He's gone.
[00:52:05]  So I think that Cash and Dan have a lot to work with.
[00:52:13]  And I'm telling you, like Dan is, he's like straight and narrow.
[00:52:17]  He's a Boy Scout.
[00:52:18]  So he's going to look at this and he doesn't care.
[00:52:20]  Like who's involved and if there are bad people whose heads are going to roll, he doesn't care.
[00:52:25]  Like there's no bias there.
[00:52:27]  He just wants to do what's right.
[00:52:29]  And if you want to do what's right, you've got to weed out this corruption.
[00:52:33]  You cannot have this kind of corruption in a system.
[00:52:36]  Then you think about what the heck were we doing with Ukraine in this whole war and like, you know, all these hundreds of millions of dollars that were spent.
[00:52:43]  And it turns out, you know, you get the deputy defense director in Ukraine and the head of defense in Ukraine siphoning off money.
[00:52:51]  going and moving to Dubai.
[00:52:52]  We can't account for everything.
[00:52:54]  Zelensky can't account for everything.
[00:52:56]  It's our money.
[00:52:59]  And it's a problem because think about the human lives that are being lost.
[00:53:07]  I mean, it just seems to me that there had to have been a better way.
[00:53:11]  Diplomacy is always a better way before you start killing people.
[00:53:16]  And yet they rushed into this one like as soon as Biden was there.
[00:53:20]  Well, good news.
[00:53:21]  Donald Trump coming out today in a press conference that he did just moments ago with Emmanuel Macron, the president of France, saying, you know what?
[00:53:28]  This thing's coming to an end.
[00:53:30]  Fast.
[00:53:30]  Watch.
[00:53:31]  I think the war could end soon.
[00:53:33]  Well, how soon?
[00:53:35]  Within weeks.
[00:53:37]  Yeah, I think so.
[00:53:38]  Don't you think so?
[00:53:40]  I'd like to ask have you.
[00:53:41]  I think we could end it within weeks if we're smart.
[00:53:44]  If we're not smart, it'll keep going and we'll keep losing young, beautiful people that shouldn't be dying.
[00:53:55]  And we don't want that.
[00:53:55]  And remember what I said this could escalate into a third world war.
[00:54:01]  And we don't want that either.
[00:54:03]  You bet we don't want that.
[00:54:05]  I've talked to Trump in the past about this, and he's very adamant.
[00:54:10]  He does not ever want to lose American lives, period.
[00:54:14]  So he wants to avoid those kind of conflicts at all costs.
[00:54:17]  And he's saying, well, what's in this for us?
[00:54:20]  Right now, he's talking about getting the mineral rights.
[00:54:21]  It looks like that deal is on the table.
[00:54:23]  We would be getting the mineral rights to Ukraine's mineral operations.
[00:54:27]  I mean, hey, I'd take it a step further and say, give us equity rights, right?
[00:54:30]  We might as well have some ownership in the thing.
[00:54:32]  And by the way, wouldn't Ukraine actually be better off if we weren't just profit sharing, but we actually had ownership?
[00:54:37]  In some of those mineral facilities, just saying, just saying.
[00:54:42]  But listen, they're going to come to an agreement here and it's something that should have come to been resolved four years ago.
[00:54:51]  But you know, we are where we are.
[00:54:53]  You hear my voice catching you guys.

=== Federal Law Violation Debate (06:13) ===

[00:56:03]  Hey, you know who's going to be in big trouble?
[00:56:06]  Leticia James.
[00:56:07]  Like her stock's going down fast.
[00:56:13]  Pam Bondi is making it really clear that she has very little tolerance for this woman, as well as anyone else who's trying to fight the federal government on some pretty basic stuff.
[00:56:24]  Pam has sued the state of New York, Kathy Hochschild, the governor of New York.
[00:56:30]  She has sued Letitia James, the attorney general of New York, and she has also sued the head of the DMV in New York.
[00:56:38]  Here she is on Lyra Trump's new show on Fox, speaking about how we will win this battle because ultimately the law's on their side.
[00:56:47]  I mean, I'm sorry.
[00:56:49]  This is pretty, this is pretty cut and dry.
[00:56:52]  The federal government controls the border.
[00:56:55]  Not Letitia James in New York.
[00:56:58]  State.
[00:56:59]  I sued the state of Illinois.
[00:57:01]  I sued the governor.
[00:57:04]  And I said, if you don't stop, you're next.
[00:57:07]  New York kept going.
[00:57:08]  They were belligerent, sued New York, sued the governor.
[00:57:12]  Not going to stop.
[00:57:13]  So, you know, you're going to be next if you're not watching what we're doing.
[00:57:17]  And we will be successful.
[00:57:19]  And we will make America safe again.
[00:57:22]  Yes.
[00:57:23]  Okay.
[00:57:24]  So again, I've explained this at length, but basically the federal government has total jurisdiction over the border.
[00:57:31]  It's why Greg Abbott down in Texas was having an issue when Biden was taking down the border wall that Trump had put up.
[00:57:37]  And he's like, no, no, no, don't do that.
[00:57:39]  He didn't have much of a leg to stand on because unfortunately at that time, I was like, this is crazy, right?
[00:57:44]  Like Texas ought to just secede.
[00:57:46]  This is nuts.
[00:57:46]  They've got to be able to control their own border.
[00:57:49]  Well, they couldn't because the federal government has jurisdiction over that.
[00:57:54]  And so it's not like you can come in and make up the rules as you see fit.
[00:57:59]  And yet, Leticia, she must not be a very good lawyer.
[00:58:02]  I know she's not a very good lawyer.
[00:58:04]  I think it's very interesting how people are either talented as lawyers or talented as politicians.
[00:58:11]  This one is one politician and nothing else.
[00:58:14]  Not only does this administration's new policy put people at risk, but it is plainly unconstitutional.
[00:58:21]  The president does not get to decide which laws to enforce and for whom.
[00:58:26]  When Congress dedicates funding for a program, the president cannot pull that funding on a whim.
[00:58:33]  Later today, I oh, yeah.
[00:58:36]  Well, you know, if you're in violation of federal law, I beg to differ.
[00:58:39]  And by the way, so did the judge.
[00:58:41]  Don't forget, it was a liberal judge, too, Judge Chunkin, saying, you know, no, no, no, no.
[00:58:46]  You know what?
[00:58:47]  They had asked for a temporary restriction, especially as it went to Elon getting into the systems and being able to access information.
[00:58:56]  And she said, well, you know, I'm sorry.
[00:58:58]  Can't do anything here.
[00:58:59]  So maybe it goes up the food chain all the way to the Supreme Court.
[00:59:02]  Well, I'll tell you, Pam Bondi will win that case all day long, all day long.
[00:59:06]  And do not forget, this is a different Trump administration.
[00:59:09]  They have had four years to think this thing through.
[00:59:12]  Project 2025, I actually loved it.
[00:59:15]  I told you I cannot laugh that hard because it catches my voice, but I loved it.
[00:59:23]  In fact, we've talked about Project 2025 on this show and there was this hysteria about Project 2025.
[00:59:30]  And I'm like, what are you talking about?
[00:59:31]  They got a bunch of really good ideas, really good ideas.
[00:59:34]  And so I think that they've spent a lot of time studying the policy and studying the law.
[00:59:40]  Stephen Miller is brilliant.
[00:59:43]  And he's had a public policy now, deputy policy chief, or whatever you want to call it at the White House.
[00:59:47]  You've got some smart people that have had four years to think this one through.
[00:59:51]  Letitia's like, oh, we're ready for him.
[00:59:53]  We're ready for him.
[00:59:54]  Well, let me tell you, honey bunny, you're not.
[00:59:57]  With other Democratic AGs across this country to make sure that we would be ready to respond to any attempt to roll back our rights.
[01:00:06]  So here we are.
[01:00:08]  We've studied their platforms, we've identified certain possibilities, fact patterns.
[01:00:16]  We've created contingency plans.
[01:00:19]  So, no matter what the next administration throws at us, we're ready.
[01:00:25]  We're ready to respond to their attacks.
[01:00:30]  We're ready to respond to any attempts to cut or eliminate any funding to the great state of New York, as the governor outlined.
[01:00:39]  So, despite what has happened on the national stage, we will continue to stand tall in the face of injustice, revenge, Or retribution.
[01:00:53]  We will continue to protect our most vulnerable and marginalized amongst us because it is my sworn duty and responsibility to lead that fight, working with the governor of this great state, Kathy Hochul.

=== Attorney General Fight Back (15:08) ===

[01:01:11]  This is not the time to be fearful, New York, but faithful and steadfast, knowing that I, as the Attorney General, along with my entire team, We are guardians of the law and we are prepared, my friends, to fight back.
[01:01:32]  Thank you.
[01:01:35]  Aww.
[01:01:35]  Aww.
[01:01:36]  And then she was asking for campaign donations, right?
[01:01:41]  She's a bad person.
[01:01:43]  Okay.
[01:01:43]  Let's just, let's get that out there.
[01:01:46]  Leticia James is a really bad person.
[01:01:48]  And we know that because Leticia James went after Donald Trump for something that never, ever, ever should have been even an issue.
[01:01:59]  He borrowed money from Deutsche Bank to build some properties.
[01:02:03]  He used Mar-a-Lago as collateral.
[01:02:07]  He said Mar-a-Lago was worth whatever he thought it was worth.
[01:02:11]  Deutsche Bank said, yeah, we agree.
[01:02:13]  We'll lend you the money and we'll use Mar-a-Lago as the collateral.
[01:02:17]  He paid them back every single dime.
[01:02:20]  Everybody made money.
[01:02:22]  Nobody was unhappy.
[01:02:23]  There were no victims.
[01:02:23]  But Letitia James decided to sue anyway because she somehow thought that Trump's valuation on Mar-a-Lago was more than she would have given it.
[01:02:32]  She thought it was worth $18 million.
[01:02:34]  I mean, it makes $56 a year, but, you know, Letitia didn't go to school for math, she barely went to school for law, so she doesn't know how to add two plus two, frankly.
[01:02:47]  And she came up with this idea that it was only worth 18 million dollars and she sued him, and she got some crazy judge who, by the way, was just as political as her to go along with it, and the next thing, you know, they're hitting him with a nearly 500 million dollar, half a billion, with a b fine, and they're like, if you can't pay it, We're taking your assets.
[01:03:12]  We're taking Trump Tower.
[01:03:13]  We're taking this.
[01:03:14]  We're taking that.
[01:03:15]  I mean, she was just dying to get her hands on this stuff.
[01:03:18]  That is what you call a rabid, malicious.
[01:03:21]  I'm using that word, you guys, instead of irresponsible, but she's highly irresponsible as well.
[01:03:26]  A rabid prosecutor who wanted only one thing to take Trump down.
[01:03:34]  How do we have a system that functions if you're going to have AGs or DAs going after people just because they don't like?
[01:03:43]  them because they're a political enemy.
[01:03:45]  That's got to stop because I'm telling you, we are no better than a third world country.
[01:03:49]  If that's where we're heading, then we have real, real problems.
[01:03:53]  And I'll tell you, Pam Bondi, she gets it.
[01:03:57]  She knows just exactly what Letitia was up to the entire time.
[01:04:02]  And she has no respect for it because don't forget, as Letitia went voraciously after Donald Trump so that she could try and bankrupt him, the city was freaking falling apart.
[01:04:14]  I mean, the city's a mess.
[01:04:15]  New York City, I used to live there.
[01:04:17]  I lived my entire, entire adult life there, except for a brief five years in what I like to call sucks Francisco, because it really sucked.
[01:04:26]  And that was 20 years ago, okay?
[01:04:28]  So like it really sucks now.
[01:04:29]  Oh, yeah.
[01:04:30]  Anyway, New York City, I'm so glad I'm not there.
[01:04:33]  Anytime I have to go there, I'm like, ugh, it's bad now.
[01:04:37]  Well, Pam knows exactly how bad a person, all right?
[01:04:42]  I'm going to actually go there.
[01:04:43]  She's a bad person, Leticia.
[01:04:45]  Specifically, talk about New York and to talk about Attorney General Letitia James.
[01:04:51]  Instead of sitting in a courtroom going after Donald Trump on bogus civil fraud cases, she should be out on the streets of New York with all of law enforcement.
[01:05:03]  She's the chief law enforcement officer in New York.
[01:05:06]  She should be out there condemning this, stopping this, calling for the arrest of these people who are vandalizing police cars.
[01:05:15]  There are cameras all over New York City.
[01:05:18]  They can catch these people.
[01:05:19]  Look what Mayor Giuliani did to clean up.
[01:05:21]  New York, Manhattan, when he was mayor.
[01:05:24]  She could be out there in the entire state and at all these college campuses saying, if you don't stop this, we will arrest you and we will charge you.
[01:05:31]  That's exactly where I would be.
[01:05:33]  And that's where she should be.
[01:05:34]  And it makes me so mad because all of these Jewish students are at peril right now.
[01:05:39]  Just what you said, you know, I don't know if these students who are praising Gaza, if it's just ignorance on their part, what they're doing, if they don't understand.
[01:05:49]  But if you have the chief law enforcement officer, meaning Tish James, out there condemning it, Saying this has got to stop.
[01:05:58]  We have got to protect our Jewish students as well as the Muslim students.
[01:06:01]  Say that, then it would stop.
[01:06:04]  But nothing is happening to stop this.
[01:06:06]  And people are, you know, people get away with crimes when they know they can.
[01:06:11]  Look at that vandalism right now that you're showing up on your screen.
[01:06:14]  That's horrific for our law enforcement officers.
[01:06:17]  And that's why it is disgraceful.
[01:06:19]  Yeah, and that's why members of the NYPD are retiring and leaving in mass because they're not being supported by the chief law enforcement officer.
[01:06:31]  So Pam clearly has no love lost for Letitia.
[01:06:35]  Letitia didn't do her duties.
[01:06:38]  Instead, she just pursued Trump.
[01:06:40]  It was all about Trump, That's all she could do.
[01:06:44]  And then she was fundraising off of it.
[01:06:45]  I mean, it's really actually pretty gross.
[01:06:48]  as that city continued to deteriorate.
[01:06:51]  So things are changing.
[01:06:53]  I'm thinking about even, for example, all those people that got fired over at MSNBC.
[01:06:58]  One of them, I can't say his name, Ayman Mohaleddin.
[01:07:05]  He was actually on the side of the protesters there, right?
[01:07:08]  So he was like, you know, and I think that that's coming back to haunt him in a big way, as it should.
[01:07:14]  You know, don't forget, Claudine Gay, President Harvard, done.
[01:07:17]  President Buchanan, done.
[01:07:19]  President of MIT, Dunn, all of these women that were perfectly fine with all of these protests going on.
[01:07:26]  So many of you, I'm watching the chat, are asking about the view.
[01:07:31]  We're going to talk about the view.
[01:07:32]  We got to talk about the view because I do think that the view is actually next.
[01:07:36]  We also have to talk about the Philadelphia Eagles because the Philadelphia Eagles may or may not be going to the White House.
[01:07:42]  You see, the Philadelphia Eagles, well, they have a lot of things stacked against them.
[01:07:49]  They did win the Super Bowl, so they got that going for them, but consider who their mayor is.
[01:07:53]  She can't spell Philly.
[01:08:01]  Again.
[01:08:02]  Let's go first.
[01:08:03]  Let me hear you all say E-L-G-F-E-S-E-G-O-S.
[01:08:14]  Let's go first.
[01:08:15]  Let me hear you all.
[01:08:16]  So, you know, it's Philly.
[01:08:16]  All right.
[01:08:17]  That's the Philadelphia mayor who clearly does not know how to spell the word Eagles.
[01:08:22]  Unbelievable.
[01:08:23]  Anyway, they're kind of in this controversy right now because it came out that they may not be wanting to go to the White House.
[01:08:30]  They won the Super Bowl.
[01:08:31]  And so traditionally, you go and you meet with the president in the Oval Office.
[01:08:34]  It's kind of a big honor.
[01:08:35]  And according to some sources, this story got reported recently after they won the Super Bowl.
[01:08:42]  They said they were not going to go, that it was somehow like a, quote, massive no.
[01:08:47]  The story first came out, actually, I believe, in the Philadelphia Sun.
[01:08:51]  Here we go.
[01:08:52]  They plan to snub the invitation at the White House.
[01:08:56]  That's according to sources at the U.S. Sun that spoke to the Eagles.
[01:09:01]  Wow.
[01:09:03]  Okay, well, what a bunch of losers, right?
[01:09:04]  You're going to turn down an invitation to the White House?
[01:09:09]  Because you don't like Trump?
[01:09:12]  Whatever happened to patriotism?
[01:09:15]  I'll tell you, who needs them, right?
[01:09:16]  Like, we don't need them.
[01:09:17]  Like, don't invite them to the White House if that's their attitude.
[01:09:19]  Forget about it.
[01:09:21]  They got disinvited once before because they refused to stand for the national anthem.
[01:09:26]  They got a whole thing going on.
[01:09:27]  Roger Goodell can't quite get a handle on this.
[01:09:30]  While the president's saying no more DEI, Roger Goodell, who's the commissioner of the NFL, he's like, no, no, we're not getting rid of DEI.
[01:09:39]  We're all about DEI.
[01:09:40]  DEI is great.
[01:09:41]  So I'm like, okay.
[01:09:42]  If it's that great, when are we going to see an Asian woman as a linebacker playing in the NFL?
[01:09:51]  Because if you actually believe in DEI, well, then that's what you'd be doing, right, Roger?
[01:09:55]  Doesn't quite add up, right?
[01:09:59]  So it's this whole controversy.
[01:10:02]  They're not going to go.
[01:10:03]  Maybe they'll go.
[01:10:05]  The newest, latest, and greatest.
[01:10:06]  This was the story, right?
[01:10:08]  Just a couple of weeks ago, they weren't going to go.
[01:10:11]  But now things may be thawing.
[01:10:14]  They did have their, I told you that, they got. canceled before.
[01:10:17]  Here's the newest story in Politico today.
[01:10:19]  The White House says Eagles have not rejected the Super Bowl celebration invitation.
[01:10:26]  They have not rejected it.
[01:10:28]  Although technically, according to my sources, the invitation has not gone out.
[01:10:34]  So there's no invitation, and thus they have nothing to reject.
[01:10:40]  They did once before lose their invitation to the White House, and that was because they wouldn't stand for the national anthem.
[01:10:47]  Wonderful.
[01:10:47]  National anthem, which I am very proud to sing and have played this for some of you guys before.
[01:10:54]  Any chance I get to sing the national anthem, look, I'm there.
[01:10:59]  But these guys won't stand for it.
[01:11:03]  And you got Roger Goodell at the NFL, like, totally fine with it.
[01:11:12]  There's no patriotism for football.
[01:11:14]  Isn't like football as American as apple pie?
[01:11:18]  I mean, it's a problem, right?
[01:11:20]  And this is part of the cultural shift and change that needs to happen in this nation.
[01:11:28]  It's really, really important that that transpire.
[01:11:31]  So again, they lost their invite last time for not standing for this one.
[01:11:38]  Yes, I am a trained opera singer.
[01:11:38]  And when I have my voice, it can be something.
[01:11:45]  Anyway, it's a beautiful song.
[01:11:45]  We need to hear it more and more.
[01:11:53]  We need patriotism back in America.
[01:12:18]  That was fun.
[01:12:19]  I got to make some more recordings, right?
[01:12:21]  We can find some more patriotic songs.
[01:12:23]  I have God Bless America too.
[01:12:24]  We'll play that another day.
[01:12:26]  But my point just is, these guys kind of need to get it with the program.
[01:12:30]  You know what?
[01:12:30]  You wouldn't have the opportunity that you have.
[01:12:32]  You wouldn't be making millions of dollars as a football player if it weren't for the great United States of America.
[01:12:38]  So for God's sakes, accept the invitation to the White House.
[01:12:45]  Act like a patriot.
[01:12:46]  Stand for the national anthem.
[01:12:49]  Be thankful for the opportunity that has come your way, for goodness sakes.
[01:12:55]  Or wind up like Joy Reid, sobbing all the time, all the time.
[01:13:00]  You know, I think it's going to be more than Joy Reid.
[01:13:04]  What do you guys think?
[01:13:04]  I mean, I have a feeling, and that's the wrong lower third there.
[01:13:12]  I have a feeling that there's going to be more hosts on the way out the door.
[01:13:18]  And it's not just NBC.
[01:13:20]  but it's going to hit CBS and it's also going to hit ABC, ABC News.
[01:13:25]  And there's one show in particular called The View.
[01:13:29]  You know, Whoopi Goldberg has been very reluctant to talk lately.
[01:13:32]  Have you noticed that?
[01:13:33]  She just doesn't really want to talk much anymore.
[01:13:37]  She doesn't really say what she's thinking.
[01:13:38]  She's kind of leaving it up to other people.
[01:13:40]  And maybe that's because she's in contract negotiations.
[01:13:44]  I do think this is interesting.
[01:13:45]  They have a new commercial out for The View that's going to air on the weekend.
[01:13:49]  Like for those of you that can't get enough, you can watch it on the weekend too.
[01:13:53]  Online streaming!
[01:13:54]  Actually, they've kind of figured out that streaming is the be-all end-all.
[01:13:58]  And so she's conspicuously absent from this little commercial.
[01:14:03]  Get this, people.
[01:14:04]  Now we're streaming every weekend right to you.
[01:14:07]  With an all-new show, an all-new view, special for the weekends.
[01:14:10]  Now you can catch the view seven days a week.
[01:14:13]  I wonder if you can handle it.
[01:14:14]  It's the weekend view.
[01:14:16]  The weekend view.
[01:14:17]  It's the weekend view.
[01:14:19]  Streaming on ABC News Live, wherever you stream.
[01:14:21]  Take a little time to enjoy the weekend view.
[01:14:25]  See you on the weekend!
[01:14:26]  Now streaming Saturday and Sunday mornings on ABC News Live, wherever you stream.
[01:14:33]  The Weekend View, minus Whoopi.
[01:14:37]  Apparently, she's lost some of her producers.
[01:14:41]  So that's like bad sign number one, right?
[01:14:43]  Apparently, morale is really, really low there because they're firing people at The View.
[01:14:52]  So that's like sign number two.
[01:14:54]  But what I would say is they've got some problems.
[01:14:58]  Because Disney's just gotten rid of its DEI initiative.
[01:15:01]  Disney's in trouble with the FCC.
[01:15:03]  Brendan Carr, who now runs the FCC for Donald Trump, has already sent Bob Iger, the CEO of Disney, a note, a letter saying, hey, nobody trusts your programming from ABC News.
[01:15:13]  And it's in part because of this crazy lady.
[01:15:15]  And you know what?
[01:15:16]  I'm just going to say, she's a little off with some of the things that we have heard.
[01:15:21]  I mean, what did she say?
[01:15:22]  He's going to lock up gay people?
[01:15:24]  That was one of her winners.
[01:15:26]  And then, you know, you got her going after Elon Musk's little kid.
[01:15:29]  I mean, this was bonkers.
[01:15:30]  She enjoy.
[01:15:31]  ganging up on a kid because of his Name?
[01:15:34]  Yeah!
[01:15:35]  So, yesterday, Elon Musk took his son X to a press conference.
[01:15:43]  I did not name the child.
[01:15:45]  And I don't want to hear any more mess about our names, okay?
[01:15:50]  Okay?
[01:15:52]  Anywho, he took little X. Funny.
[01:15:57]  And little Instagram.
[01:16:00]  He doesn't know on Instagram.
[01:16:01]  He doesn't know on Instagram.
[01:16:02]  He just took little X with him to a press conference in the Oval Office to defend himself.
[01:16:09]  against critics who say he should not have the power to gut the federal agency.
[01:16:17]  What do you think?

=== Dollar Month Money Guarantee (03:17) ===

[01:16:18]  I actually think she's going to be gone.
[01:16:20]  And I think she's going to be gone because she has become such a problem.
[01:16:22]  I mean, unless she's able to shape up so much.
[01:16:25]  She's trying to go after Elon now instead of going after Donald Trump.
[01:16:30]  But I think that some of the damage has already been done.
[01:16:35]  And so that's sort of one of those things that's still out there.
[01:16:39]  And I suspect what we're going to see at some point this year, and by the way, I've been right on all this stuff.
[01:16:44]  I mean, I hate to tell you, I told you so, but did I not?
[01:16:46]  As recently as three weeks ago, I told you Joy Reid would be fired.
[01:16:49]  I mean, if I were running the company, she'd be out.
[01:16:52]  And if I were running ABC News, Whoopi Goldberg would be out.
[01:16:57]  She'd be out because she says a lot of really irresponsible stuff or malicious stuff, shall we say.
[01:17:07]  Joy Behar, I think she knows she might be out.
[01:17:09]  She put her house up for sale in Sag Harbor.
[01:17:12]  For ten and a half million dollars, Leticia ought to look into that one, right?
[01:17:17]  Look, real estate is whatever somebody's going to pay for it.
[01:17:22]  That's why Leticia has no business inserting herself in between Deutsche Bank and Donald Trump to begin with.
[01:17:27]  And I'm still getting annoyed because we don't have the Court of Appeals decision on that.
[01:17:31]  You know, the Court of Appeals in New York, I've played you some of their sound.
[01:17:34]  They think the whole case is bogus.
[01:17:36]  So, where is the ruling?
[01:17:38]  We need that ruling.
[01:17:41]  And we need Whoopi Goldberg gone, okay?
[01:17:43]  Like, she's not doing the country.
[01:17:45]  Any favors whatsoever, and whatever she's paid, it's far too much.
[01:17:51]  It is great to have you guys here really, really.
[01:17:54]  Oh, you know George Stephanopoulos as well.
[01:17:56]  He's going to be out, mark my words.
[01:17:58]  Mark my words, he's going to be out as well.
[01:18:00]  It is really good to have you guys here.
[01:18:02]  Make sure you subscribe, share like um, tell your friends about it.

[01:19:15]  It's a dollar a month and it's a money-back guarantee.
[01:19:18]  So a dollar a month for the first two months and it goes 995.

[01:19:35]  I'll see you then.
