Pentagon Leaks and Hegseth00:12:55
You had a wonderful, wonderful holiday, a wonderful Easter.
I certainly did.
We've got a lot to get to as we kick off the week right here, including quite a squabble going on at the Pentagon with Pentagon staffers being accused of leaking.
And then, of course, Pete Hegseth firing back in a pretty dynamic way as the president, I should point out, backs him 1,000%.
So very interesting stuff going on there.
We've got to talk about Letitia James, for goodness sakes.
She's really getting nervous.
I mean, really legitimately nervous.
And you know what?
I'll tell you this.
She should be.
And you know what?
She deserves every single bit of this.
We'll get into Letitia James.
We also have to talk about this Maryland migrant situation, which is just blowing up here, especially over the weekend, as we saw Chris Van Hollen.
He's a senator from Maryland that got kind of played or duped, if you would, by Bukele by going down there.
And there was that scene with the margaritas, even though they weren't really margaritas.
Anyway, he's now effectively calling this guy an American.
Wait until you hear that sound.
I'm going to play it all for you.
Welcome to the show, everyone.
I am Trish Reagan.
Make sure you subscribe, share, like, make a comment.
Again, we're live, so I see it all.
Great to have you here.
The Pentagon.
is in a bit of a mess with the guy who's running the whole entire place.
Yet Pete Hegseth is firing back at his entire team that may be trying to take him down.
This is fascinating because it's effectively like the neocons at work, right?
You have a whole system that is not designed to like somebody, like a newcomer like Pete Hegseth coming in there.
And they've been leaking and he's been getting sort of tarred and feathered, if you would, for this whole signal gate.
thing saying, oh, you know, it's Pete's fault because Pete sent the sensitive information.
He disputes that, argues that it wasn't that sensitive.
It wasn't classified information.
Well, now a new thing came out over the weekend.
And of course, it went straight to the New York Times alleging that Pete Hegseth shared attack details in a second signal chat with his wife and his brother.
Now, his wife is a former Fox News producer.
You know, I used to work with Pete.
I worked with her.
I know them well.
She's kind of like the producer, right?
In the relationship, I think his wife is very, very involved in what he does.
We know that, right?
Because the New York Times also reported that when he was meeting with foreign leaders, she was there as well.
So that's sort of a given.
Whether or not he should have been communicating on signal, don't forget we can go back to what we learned before everyone.
And what did we learn?
We learned that this was the Biden.
White House method of communication.
We learned that the people that were in charge of the CIA under Joe Biden passed this along, this signal communication app, to the team that was coming in for Trump and said, have at it.
You can trust this, et cetera, et cetera.
So whether or not you want to argue, oh, you know, maybe he shouldn't have been sharing information with his wife over this app, et cetera, why is it that Biden's team was like, here you go.
This is great?
I mean, Pete is sort of new to the intelligence circle, new, of course.
To the military.
Well not, I mean, he had a background in the military, but new, as you know, Pentagon chief right, he was a reporter.
Last time I checked and they're like yeah, go ahead and use this.
And there was no sort of schooling, if you would, on how to use it or what to be sensitive for.
I still go back to my suspicion that somebody was trying to do all of them in originally.
When it was discovered that somehow the Atlantic reporter, Jeffrey Goldberg, had been added to their little chat right, Mike Waltz was like oh, it's my fault, it's my fault, I created the chat and, you know, Pete happened to use it and then they're trying to take him down.
I think that they're like sharks in the water right, they smell blood.
Well, Pete's not having it, Trump's not having it.
I want to show you what Pete Hegseth, secretary Hegseth, said outside at the Easter Bunny thing, you know the the egg rolling ceremony at the White House yesterday.
He's like, look, these people are all about fake news and they're all trying to take me down and I am here ready, willing and able to fight, because this is our future, this is our kids future.
He said, as he had his kids, like right there Kids, right here.
This is why we're fighting the fake news media.
This is why we're fighting slash and burn Democrats.
This is why we're fighting hoaxers.
Hoaxers.
This group, no, no, this group right here, full of hoaxers that peddle anonymous sources from leakers with axes to grind, and then you put it all together as if it's some news story.
And when we know it, we know exactly what it is.
So I'm really proud of what we're doing for the president, fighting hard across the board, and I'm going to go roll some Easter eggs.
With my kids.
Thank you very much.
So he's saying, like, these guys are all fake news.
You've never trusted them to begin with.
I mean, consider who they are.
It got worse.
Okay.
So no sooner did he do that.
Remember, he's calling them fake news, this, that, and the other.
Do you remember who published the big 51X spook article when they decided it would be a little damage control if they could get John Brennan and the rest of them, right, to come out and say that that laptop was not fake?
It was none other than Politico.
You know what else we know about Politico?
Politico was getting all kinds of money from USAID in the way of $10,000 a month subscriptions that amounted to millions of dollars.
Interestingly enough, you know, they really spiked up in the year 2024.
I digress.
I only point that out to say Politico is part of the system, okay?
New York Times is part of the system, okay?
So when I find articles in the New York Times or in Politico, I always have to sit back and say, okay, you know, what's this?
Just like you would anybody's bias, right?
can say in all fairness when you see an article in Breitbart or when you see an article on Fox or Newsmax, hey, when you, you know what?
I like to think I'm super, super duper fair here on this show, but you probably know my bias.
So you have to understand the bias of all these publications.
In the case of Politico, they have received millions of dollars from USAID.
They are not in a good position right now because, well, you know, the USAID stuff that is poof, gone.
And all the stuff that Pete stands for, is stuff that they tend to stand against.
So they're the ones that published this top Pentagon spokesperson article that came out just last night, Sunday night.
This is kind of a big deal, okay?
So this is the guy that used to be the top spokesperson at the Pentagon.
And he's now taking aim at Pete Hegseth because he said the whole place has turned into a total disaster.
It's a total mess under Pete.
His name, and I'll surely get this wrong, is John Olyott.
He's the former Pentagon chief spokesperson, lead communications at the NSC and at the Department of Veterans Affairs in President Donald Trump's first term.
He's pointed out over and over again in this piece, by the way, that he was good friends with Pete and he wanted the best for Pete, but the place is just a total mess.
He says, and I quote, it's been a month of total chaos at the Pentagon from leaks of sensitive operational plans to mass firings.
The dysfunction is now a major distraction for the president who deserves better from his senior leadership.
President Donald Trump has a strong record of holding his top officials to account, given that it's hard to see Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth remaining in his role much longer.
So that's where I just am going to pause for a second.
I think Donald Trump has very much a soft spot for Pete.
He knows he's been through A2LL and back in terms of this whole approval process.
Nobody wanted him to have the gig.
He does on a personal level.
I can tell you he trusts Pete and he wants people there that he can trust.
Whether or not Pete can trust all the people around him, the whole system, so to speak, I think that's a fair question.
And I think Pete is trying to get to the bottom of that, which is why he kept firing all those people.
Edgar, good to see you back here.
Thank you for your generosity.
Very good to have you here on the show.
So there were a series of people.
Remember Dan Caldwell?
We talked about this last week, as well as Darren Selnick, the deputy chief of staff, and Colin Carroll, chief of staff to the deputy secretary of defense in the aftermath.
He writes, Defense Department officials working for Hegseth tried to smear the aides anonymously to reporters, claiming they were fired for leaking sensitive information as part of an investigation ordered earlier this month.
Well, we talked about that, did we not?
We talked about how they're trying to root out the leakers and they're trying to get rid of the people that are problematic.
And I think, bottom line, Pete Hegseth doesn't trust these people, even though this guy, who's so loyal, he's out in Politico, you know, before he can even catch his breath, writing an op-ed telling everybody how awful Pete's leadership is.
I mean, if I'm Pete, like this was my trusted guy.
Thank God he resigned, right?
Thank God he's out of there because, you know, who needs friends when you got enemies like that?
Or who needs enemies, I should say, when you got friends like that?
So I'm suspecting that Pete Hegseth felt pretty strongly that he couldn't trust this inner circle, including Dan Caldwell, Darren Selnick, and Colin Carroll.
We do know that Dan Caldwell was actually escorted out of the building, and they're making the point here in this political piece.
That that was very, very deliberate.
In other words, they leaked the information about Dan for a deliberate reason, to try and tarnish him on his way out the door.
Um, he does say that none of these guys were disloyal, right?
So that was the allegation that they were leaking, and so they were fired for their leaking.
And he says, you know what?
None of this is true.
Well, the department did say that it was going to conduct these polygraphs, for example, as part of the probe.
None of those guys were given polygraphs.
So I don't know how Pete came to the conclusion that they were responsible.
Somehow, some way he did, and he felt strongly enough about it that he had to get rid of them.
Of course, he probably should have gotten rid of this guy too, right?
Like let's just be honest here.
I mean, this guy was supposed to be his number one there as a spokesperson at the Pentagon.
And yet as soon as he leaves his job, which he said he didn't have to leave, he's out there firing off an op-ed to Politico.
So Politico reported on Friday that Hexas chief of staff, Joe Casper, was leaving his role.
Casper had requested the investigation into the Pentagon leaks.
which reportedly included military operational plans for the Panama Canal and a pause in the collection of intelligence for Ukraine.
So those things were getting leaked.
Who was leaking them?
In Pete's view, it may have been these individuals that were quite close to him.
We don't know right now, but he's in charge.
He should be able to pick his own team.
I would say that they're suggesting that there are going to be more problems, more firings to come.
I would imagine, yeah.
I mean, here's the reality.
Here's the reality.
You know what, Donald Trump, at least for now, and we'll see what happens, but I can tell you that he personally has a soft spot.
For this guy.
He really does like Pete.
And Pete was very much an ally of his on television.
Don't forget Fox and Friends on the weekends.
And I think that he's willing to see him through this.
I mean, we'll see if it amounts to much, much more.
But here's Caroline Levitt on Fox and Friends this morning saying, you know what?
The president has Pete's back.
Watch.
The president stands strongly behind Secretary Hegseth, who is doing a phenomenal job leading the Pentagon.
And this is what happens when the entire Pentagon is working against you and working against the monumental change that you are trying to implement.
Secretary Hegseth.
Hegseth was nominated for this position because he is standing up for the warfighter, the men and women in uniform who are putting their lives on the line to protect our country and our homeland.
And unfortunately, there have been people at that building who don't like the change the secretary is trying to bring.
So they are leaking and they are lying to the mainstream media.
We've seen this game played before.
The secretary is doing a tremendous job, and the president stands strongly behind him.
Wow.
Okay.
So she's basically saying it's the Pentagon that's the problem, it's not Pete.
It's the Pentagon that's the problem.
And there are people in the Pentagon that do not like the direction all of this is heading with.
And as a result of that, they're leaking like you wouldn't believe and causing all of these problems.
So there's a lot of fury there on behalf of Pete, on behalf of the president.
You hear it in Caroline.
By the way, she's very good at her job.
I just got to say, this is a huge improvement over KGP.
I'll take Caroline any day of the week, just for clarity's sake, right?
I mean, you kind of get the impression she knows what she's talking about.
But reality is this.
There's a lot of fury happening internally.
Here is what pete Hegseth put out after the Democrats.
How do you like this?
The Democrats are saying Pete Hegseth needs to go.
He responds with, your agenda, your agenda is illegals, trans and DEI, all of which are no longer allowed.
Markets Surge on Chaos00:02:22
Okay.
So I think they smell blood in the water.
They think that this is their opportunity to take this guy out.
And so they're going to work as hard as they can at it.
But I'll tell you, you know what?
They're wrong on it.
If they think that Donald Trump is going to fold just because They're going after Pete Hacksas so viciously.
I think Donald Trump, if anything, is going to be there saying, Pete, I got your back.
I got your back.
I would say this, whatever's going on with the leakers, they got to fix that.
You can't have a Pentagon that has so much hostility to the guy that's leading it.
I would hope that his trusted advisors were not the people that were leaking, but clearly Pete believes that to be the case, and thus we're in the situation we're in right now.
I mean, none of this is good.
None of it's good for the markets.
None of it's good for our international standing.
I mean, look at the markets right now.
I mean, we're down significantly on the S&P, down 3.15%.
Dow Jones Industrial Average down 3%.
And Nasdaq down three and nearly a half percent.

Maryland Migrant Delusion00:08:50
The Maryland migrant is a great example, I think, of how delusional these Democrats have become.
Christopher Van Hollen, he goes all the way down there.
Remember last week to El Salvador?
He's camped.
camping out, he can't get a meeting, and finally something comes through.
Then he comes back and he goes on to the Sunday shows, and I'm just stunned.
I'm stunned with what he called one of these migrants.
Again, we saw him down there, you know, hanging out with this gentleman, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and they spoke, and there were opportunities for Chris Van Hollen to ask him probably important questions, which he didn't.
I'll get to that in a second.
But before I do, understand the backdrop here.
The Democrats are so set on having these open borders that they can't see the forest for the trees, to the point where this Chris Van Hollen actually seems to think that the Maryland migrant who was deported is actually an American citizen, right?
Let's listen together.
I think at some point, the president of El Salvador realized it was looking really bad to have this person who had been absconded from America, from the streets of Maryland.
Woo, he caught that one pretty quick, right?
Listen again.
Here's the moment.
There's someone who was from.
Oops.
Really bad to have this person who had been absconded from America, from the streets of Maryland, in one of their prisons.
Ah, okay.
So you can see how convoluted this stuff gets to the point where you actually think the person who is here illegally is an alleged member of MS-13.
Allegedly hurt his wife to the point where she actually needed to seek police protection.
Somehow now he's the good guy?
Think about that.
He's the quote unquote American.
He almost said it, guys.
He almost did.
Donald Trump saying, This is not a good guy.
Get your facts straight, buddy.
He's a fake.
I know him.
I know them all.
They're all fake.
And they have no interest in that prisoner.
That prisoner's record is unbelievably bad.
They talk about how evil I am that this man would be thrown out of our car.
This man is a.
According to certified statements that we get, he is a very violent person.
And they want this man to be brought back into our country where he can be free and to stay as a happily Maryland, you know, happily, they call him the Maryland man.
He's a Maryland father.
No, this is a violent person.
Okay.
So Donald Trump trying to set the record straight on who this guy is and whether or not he's really the, you know, the upstanding citizen.
And I say citizen, I'm laughing, quote unquote, American citizen, right?
Because that's how they kind of have you thinking at this point.
And that's not great when you get a guy who, one, is not a citizen, two, is here illegally, three, has been twice, You know, with run ins with the law, and they've held him, and they wouldn't even allow him to leave in one case.
They wouldn't even give him bail because they alleged he was a member of MS 13.
And now we learn that the wife needed protection, something that she actually couldn't defend herself when she was on Good Morning America.
We'll get to that, but first, keep in mind what Pam Bondi is alleging about her.
Right.
To President Trump.
Well, I'm trying to understand that part, and I'm looking at the timeline.
I'm looking what the courts have said about him.
I'm looking about what ISA said about him.
I'm looking about at Even though I'm having a hard time understanding why his wife is advocating for him to come back, why is everybody saying he's a man from Maryland?
What do you make of Senator Van Hollen and this performative art that he's involved in in El Salvador, of which he was unsuccessful today?
Well, America is safer because he is gone.
Maryland is safer because he is gone.
And that woman that he is married to and that child he had with her, they are safer tonight because.
He is out of our country.
Okay, so she's making the point that you know what?
The wife had requested a couple of times from law enforcement some protection from him.
This is something that came up on Good Morning America on Friday, and I'm telling you, she just totally froze.
Like, it's the elephant in the room.
It's the question you have to ask, and yet she couldn't answer this.
Take a look.
I have to ask it.
You did take out a temporary order of protection against your husband in 2021.
Were you in fear of your husband?
Husband is alive.
That's all I can say.
Okay.
You know, I'm not going to push on that, apparently.
But how much hope?
Apparently, no.
You're not going to push on that because you're not actually a journalist.
Not that anybody at ABC News is a journalist these days.
For goodness sakes, that is just awful.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
That is just awful.
So the elephant in the room is that she's married to this bad dude that she's had to go and seek police protection from.
And then she doesn't even have anything that she can say on that.
Anything at all?
Give me a break.
I'm sorry.
You know what?
And this whole crew, they don't even care what his criminal record is at all.
The MS-13 thing, that came up.
Nobody would actually talk about that.
Literally.
CNN asked and Van Hollen's like, no, this doesn't matter.
It didn't come up.
Quick shout out to my friends over at Balance of Nature.

You know, they could have asked if he was part of MS-13.
Van Hollen had that opportunity to ask him about his background and apparently chose not to.
Like the subject never even came up when they sat down together at that nice, nifty little meeting in El Salvador.
Here is CNN asking Van Hollen, did you bother?
Listen to his answer.
President Trump says that some of Abrego Garcia's tattoos signify that he's a member of MS-13.
In 2019, police alleged a confidential informant claimed that Abrego Garcia was an active MS-13 member.
His wife and his attorney deny that, of course.
Can you say with absolute certainty that he is not, nor has he ever been a member of the MS-13 gang?
Did you ask him point blank?
Well, Dana, what Donald Trump is trying to do here is change the subject.
The subject at hand is that he and his administration are defying a court order to give Abrego Garcia his due process right.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry.
We're going to play the rest of it.
But what the heck, buddy?
No, the issue is also is he a criminal who was here illegally?
Who was part of MS 13 and then got the adjudicated deportation order, and now he's out, and you don't think it matters at all?
Just a teeny tiny little spinch.
They are trying to litigate on social media what they should be doing in the courts.
They need to put up or shut up in the courts.
Let me tell you, and I decided to write this down so I could be absolutely accurate as to what federal district court Judge Zinness said about these allegations by the Trump administration.
Quote, no evidence linking Abrego Garcia to MS 13 or Any terrorist activity has been presented to the court.
That's where to litigate this.
It's been litigated in many other places.
So I'm not going to get into the details because the whole purpose of our court system is for them to adjudicate these things, not for Donald Trump to go off on social media.
Deportation Litigation Costs00:08:47
Yeah, you're right.
They have not, there hasn't been a court hearing for them to put forward evidence in the first place, which is your whole point.
But since you were the one person to have met with him, and since this is a thing, you say on social media, it's what we hear from.
Donald Trump and Republicans every day, all day long.
You didn't ask him.
I didn't ask him that because I know what his answer is.
No, he didn't ask him that because he already told you.
He doesn't care.
He freaking doesn't care.
Let that sit in for just two seconds.
I mean, think about the Maryland mom, right?
Patty, who's there with President Trump and she's sobbing and it's been an emotional time for her.
And he's like, wow, you know, this woman has been through hell.
And he's saying to her, you got to be strong and, you know, Your daughter's gone, but you know, maybe there's a bigger purpose here that we can have, that we can have together.
And she's saying, Van Hollen didn't even bother to do anything when I lost my daughter.
He's all about these open borders, open borders, open borders.
And look what happens as a result of open borders.
Now, let me be very clear.
I get it.
It's not oranges to oranges.
We can't say that just because this guy was here illegally, that he's then therefore a risk to people.
But when you allow for illegal immigration, you encourage illegal immigration, guess what?
Guess what happens?
You actually run serious risk that you're going to have more problems.
When you look at those numbers, oh my gosh, we've looked at that chart, right?
From Axias, and you had upwards of 250,000 people coming in here illegally every single month until Donald Trump came in, when miraculously it just plunges by 96%.
Incredible, right?
Well, what do you think?
The consequences of having people here illegally like that really are.
They're actually pretty significant, so significant when you look at states, for example, like California or Texas that have had to struggle with their education there in those states.
Why?
Because they've got to accommodate all of these people that they didn't think that they would have to accommodate before.
Stephen Miller talking about this on Newsmax saying, you know, effectively, you know what the U.S. of A. deserves?
States like California actually deserve?
He told my friend Rob Schmidt on Friday night, he said they deserve, you ready for it, guys?
Reparations.
Yeah, they deserve reparations, he said, because it is absolutely not fair.
Reparations for California, for Texas, for any of these states that have had to suffer as a result of the massive influx of people into the educational system.
So he went on Newsmax, he said, like, enough.
We need to do something about this.
And he wants to demand that these countries come forward with some other way to pay for all of the difficulties that they've caused us.
So I thought that was kind of interesting and somewhat creative and a new way to think about it because certainly we have suffered, have we not, as a result of all of this migration in certain states, most in particular.
But I would also say this the Democrats can.
Continually just seem to be on the wrong side of the issue.
When you don't even ask the question, is he a member of a gang?
You expose yourself, making yourself vulnerable to comments like I heard from Scott Jennings on CNN last week.
Let's listen.
Van Hollen posted a picture of him sitting with Abrego Garcia at a table.
I see these pictures tonight and I think, boy, the party of women is really covering itself in glory tonight.
I mean, I don't understand why the American left falls in love with the worst people.
You've got a gang banging, human trafficking, wife beating, illegal alien.
And a United States senator in a ludicrous display of energy is in El Salvador having Mai Tais and Yahtzee.
I do not get it.
I do not understand why the left takes on the heroes to go.
I don't get it.
He has an adjudicated deportation order.
And you have Democrat public officials falling all over themselves trying to get him back here without thinking through the next step, which is he's literally going to be deported somewhere else.
But he did have due process.
Everything we know about him is documented because.
He did go through the court systems.
He was stopped for trafficking.
His wife did file these domestic violence charges against him.
He was arrested with MS 13 members with a roll of cash that had the eyes and the ears and the mouths of the presidents erased, which is an MS 13 markings.
This is all non disputed.
A British American looking at this case, a lot of conflicting information.
Okay, I believe some, I don't believe.
An illegal alien came here in 2011, and somehow in 2025, he's still here after having been through the court system, after having been arrested with lots of people in his car, after having all this evidence.
Why did he not deport him?
He just did, and now everybody's mad about it.
Why did an illegal alien take advantage of our system for 14 years?
Why did Donald Trump deport him?
Haha, all right.
So, yeah, he did deport him, and look what happens then.
Well, you know, we'll see.
There's some additional developments happening as we speak.
The Supreme Court is telling Donald Trump that you cannot use the Alien Act now.
of 1798 to be able to deport some Venezuelans that are believed to be part of another gang, TDA, and therefore really acting violently against, in the president's view, the interests of our country.
I will say this, Caroline Levitt nailed it, nailed it when she said this morning, I'm going to show you a clip from Fox and Friends, when she called them out, Van Hollen and the rest of them, because this was Easter weekend, and what side of the equation were they on?
Watch.
He is an illegal alien, a foreign terrorist, and a criminal.
MS 13 gang member who violated our country's laws by coming here in the first place.
And shame on Senator Chris Van Hollen and the entire Democrat Party who wasted Easter Sunday going on every television show in the country to advocate for the return of an illegal criminal gang member.
Yeah.
You know what?
It really wasn't time well spent.
It really wasn't.
And then here you got to ask yourself this question, guys.
Who's going to pay for all this?
You know, Van Hollen traveling down to El Salvador, hanging out there.
Apparently, in his view, you pay.
You, the taxpayer, are responsible for paying.
I don't think the taxpayer appreciates that very much here.
He said it on Fox over the weekend.
Don't doubt me.
Watch.
Who did pay for this trip?
This was an officially cleared congressional trip, cleared on a bipartisan basis.
Yes, like every other trip.
Really?
Okay, well, don't tell Comer that.
Because Comer said just last week, I want to make sure you know your request is denied.
I write in response to your April 15th, 2025 letter requesting that I approve from the committee's budget official travel for you both to visit the country of El Salvador to meet with a foreign MS-13 gang member whose wife accused him of crimes and who is strongly suspected of human trafficking.
It is absurd that you both displayed active hostility for over two years towards the committee's oversight of the Biden border crisis and the consequences of millions of illegals.
Entering the country, and yet now you are seeking to travel at committees expense to meet with foreign gang members.
It's like guys, where is your allegiance like?
What about being on the side of everyday Americans?
Whatever happened to that?
I mean, this is why Miller is now coming out.
Steven Miller went on to NEWS MAX on friday night, onto Rob Schmidt's show, and said, hey, you know what?
This is not fair.
You think of the cost to our society, the cost to specific states, including California, Texas or any state that's had to deal with this massive migration, and it's enormous And we ought to be asking for reparations from the likes of Mexico as a result.
Let me see if I can find you the sound because this is just incredible, guys.
I mean, talking about turning all of this on its head, right?
Just turning all of it on its head.
Let's watch it together.
Here's Miller speaking there on, oh, can we get it?
I think we can.
We'll give it a shot here.
Stephen Miller speaking out.
Perhaps not.
Anyway, I will translate for you what he said, which was basically that, you know what?
You can't do this.
You can't do this.
Because it doesn't work for our society.
Like at some point, there's too many people on the boat and the boat sinks.
Mortgage Fraud Allegations00:07:07
My word's not his.
But he wants compensation because the boat's been sinking because they keep sending people here.
And so it's a very new way of thinking of this.
You know, I've been playing you Miller clips all week.
He's fired up, super fired up.
And he has every reason to be, right?
Every reason to be.
You know who else is fired up right now?
Letitia James.
There have been new allegations that she engaged in mortgage fraud.
She's freaking out.
freaking out and understandably so because guess what?
She's now got reporters showing up at this quote unquote home that she has in New York, which apparently she shouldn't have because she said her primary residence in the mortgage application, which is now being deemed to possibly be fraudulent, was actually in New York.
I mean, she actually is the Attorney General of New York.
Therefore, how could her prime residence be in a state like Virginia as it was implied on the mortgage application?
Anyway, here's the daily caller showing up at her house.
Let's watch this one together.
Hi there.
I'm a reporter with the Daily Caller News Foundation.
I'm sorry.
My kids are out here.
I understand.
We mean no trouble.
We're just curious who the occupants of the home are.
I don't know about whose occupants.
That's none of your business.
Well, there are connections to New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Are you related to Letitia James?
Do you know her?
You're trespassing.
Go in the house.
Do you know Letitia James?
Okay.
No comment.
Thank you, ma'am.
You have a good one.
Be well.
Be well.
They were polite.
Walking off.
And they get in trouble with the neighbors, I think, here in this clip.
They are parked in the driveway.
Hello there, ma'am.
No comment.
You're trespassing.
No comment.
Okay, who lives here?
Who lives here, ma'am?
No comment.
Okay, no comment.
You're trespassing.
Get out of my property.
I'm sure that's not fun.
Right?
Letitia James, though, she's getting kind of rattled by this, so rattled that she actually decided to speak out.
She actually decided to go on with some liberal reporter that she thought would sing her tune and call this out.
We got the same old, same old, a whole bunch of sound bites that you would likely hear.
If you haven't seen this yet, you need to.
It just came out on Friday afternoon.
Let's watch it together and digest.
Good to see you, Ms. James.
Thanks for joining us.
Thank you for having me, Errol.
Absolutely.
What is going on here?
Did anybody contact you before this letter went out accusing you of this, that, and the other and making a criminal referral about real estate transactions?
No, not at all.
And let me just say to all New Yorkers and to all Americans the allegations are baseless.
The allegations are nothing more than a revenge tour.
And as you mentioned, my office was successful in securing a $454 million judgment against Donald Trump.
Trump and others for exaggerating.
By the way, don't even get me started on that one because that is the most bogus, bogus charges she went after him with.
This thing has a heck of a lot more merit.
The other one was just ridiculous.
Anyway, let's continue listening to Letitia freak out.
You can tell she's freaking out.
The fact that she's doing this interview to begin with tells you a lot.
The value of his assets.
He engaged in a pattern and practice of fraud.
And the interest is accruing each and every day while the case is on appeal.
In the first department.
It's important that individuals know that this is nothing more than the continuation of the tour.
He went after law firms, universities, immigrants, women.
Thousands of federal employees right now are unemployed.
Our government is in chaos and in disarray.
Medicaid, Social Security.
And by the way, let me just jump in.
Leticia, every single lawsuit that you filed against him for all this stuff, you know, the DEI stuff where he's taken money from you, you allege.
and you want that money back to run your state or say, I don't know, the disaster stuff, all of it.
He's asked for you to justify it.
You refuse to, and instead you sue him.
So guess what?
The courts have already decided you're not getting that money, that he actually has the right to withhold that from you.
So of course you're freaking out.
And now, of course, he's going after you personally.
Well, not he himself just yet.
Pambondi likely will, because this was referred to the DOJ.
Because, well, you know, you can't lie on your mortgage application, Letitia, if you did.
CFPB, and the list goes on and on and on.
And as you know, as you mentioned, each and every day, my office is leading the fight against these executive orders, which have no legal import at all, have no legal significance.
And we are standing up for the rights and privileges of New Yorkers and Americans.
I will not be silenced.
I will not be bullied.
I will not bend.
I will not break.
I have heard that line before.
Have you not?
William Perkins saying, is she reading a teleprompter?
Because it kind of feels like it.
No, I think she's just memorized her lines.
I will not be silenced.
I will not be bullied.
You know how I know this?
Because I've played so many clips of Letitia James at this point.
Thank you for humoring me if you've been listening to them.
But like, I just, I've learned the sequence of her words, the pattern of her words, and what she actually says each and every time.
And it's always the same.
And I will not bow to anyone.
No one is above the law.
Including the president of these United States.
Okay.
The office of the attorney general will continue to stand up.
Let me follow up on some of what's in this letter.
It says that, according to media reports, which for us in the media is kind of a red flag, meaning that it seems to be based on some social media posts that I know were made by partisan political actors.
I'm just laughing.
He's like, according to media reports.
And he's like, for us in the media, that's a red flag.
I guess if it's not like, You that's reporting it, if it's not Politico or the New York Times reporting it, then it's suddenly a red flag.
I digress.
Just let me ask you about some of the specifics in the letter.
They're saying that your house in Brooklyn is a legal five family and the mortgage on it is for a four family house.
Is that true?
So let me just say that, Errol, you know, as any good attorney, I will not litigate this case.
Woo!
She can't answer the question.
You get it?
Let's go back.
He asked, they say, You said it was four family when it's really five family.
Why?
Because you get a better mortgage rate, apparently.
Oh, gosh darn it.
Does that not sound like maybe Donald Trump saying a square footage was one thing when it was actually another?
Isn't that what she went after him?
Can we sue Letitia James for half a billion dollars?
I'd like to ask.
Let's hear it again because it's just so good.
Brooklyn is a legal five family, and the mortgage on it is for a four family house.
