Trish Regan critiques New York AG Letitia James for alleged mortgage fraud and political weaponization, contrasting her case with the Trump administration's private disputes. The episode further examines AOC and Michelle Wu's opposition to ICE, citing constitutional arguments against their tactics and concerns over President Biden's cognitive decline as detailed in Jake Tapper's "Total Grifter." Finally, Regan analyzes Elon Musk's fallout from Donald Trump regarding a NASA bill and false Epstein file claims, noting the tension between business interests and political rhetoric while suggesting market optimism persists despite these conflicts.

Mortgage Fraud Allegations00:14:39
And we are live.
Tishy Baby, it is getting ugly.
Where are your friends?
Where's the media when you need them?
Oh, Andrew Cuomo doesn't have too much use for you.
Almost makes me like Andrew Cuomo.
God, what is the world coming to?
Welcome to the program, everyone.
Right?
Wow, we got a big show for you today.
I'm Trish Regan.
It's Trish Regan's show.
Letitia James is losing some pretty key support here as this indictment on this lovely woman looms.
Coming any day, shall we say, right now.
So that's a big deal.
Meanwhile tom Holman is issuing a very grave warning, including to the likes of the Boston mayor, Letitia James, AOC.
Wait till you hear this.
MSNBC is in crisis.
You know, another day, another crisis over there at MSNBC, but it's so bad they may actually have to bring back Rachel Maddow.
I don't know how much good that'll do them.
But anyway, George Clooney as well is trying to weigh in on the media and what he says is frankly just pretty damn appalling.
I would just say this.
George Clooney, you have jumped the shark.
Were you on Fonzie's show?
No, no, maybe he was on, what was it, Facts of Life or anything as a kid?
Anyway, he's jumped the shark.
And Elon and Donald Trump, we're going to talk about that because there is chatter that Donald Trump may be suing Elon Musk for defamation.
Welcome to the program, everyone.
Good to have you here.
I am Trish Regan.
Make sure you subscribe.
Make sure you comment.
I'm looking at your comments live.
Thank you all for being here, as always.
We are growing.
We are mighty, right?
Small but mighty.
But we're not so small anymore.
Take a look at this.
I mean, we're climbing in those subs.
We'll see what happens when we hit a million.
I said, maybe I'll sing.
Anyway, it's good to have you here.
We begin today on a very important story, Letitia James.
Letitia James.
Letitia James is in a whole lot of trouble.
Of course, we knew that, right?
But things are getting worse for one Letitia because you see, people are turning on her.
Her own party is turning on her.
The media establishment there in New York, they are turning on her.
And you know what?
The voters are turning on her.
You know, she is facing some pretty serious, serious allegations, as we well know.
Looking at what?
30 years in prison for violation of 18 U.S.C. 1014, false statements to obtain a federally insured loan, U.S.C. 1001, false statements to the government.
Subpoenas are being issued.
They have been issued in the grand jury investigation into one Leticia James.
Now, you know, this is actually for her.
alleged mortgage fraud.
I mean, I actually think the woman should be investigated for being an overzealous prosecutor who's trying to take down people simply because of their political beliefs, bankrupt people, right?
To the tune of $500 million that she has in an outstanding loan, outstanding bill, I should say, with Donald Trump.
Just outrageous, outrageous, outrageous.
Anyway, Letitia, baby, is, I think, going to have to eat her own words.
And her own words were, when powerful people cheat to get better loans, it comes at the expense of honest and hardworking people.
Everyday Americans cannot lie.
to a bank to get a mortgage, to buy a home.
And if they did, our government would throw the book at them.
There simply cannot be different rules for different people.
Now Donald Trump is finally facing accountability.
This is what she wrote.
Remember when she was so thrilled and victorious and was planning to take over Trump Tower when she got him hit with the nearly $500 million fine from Judge Arthur Erguin or however you say his name?
Now Donald Trump is finally facing accountability for his lying, cheating, and staggering fraud because no matter how big, rich, or powerful you think you are, no one is above the law.
I mean, it's just amazing, except that, you know, she somehow thought she was because while this was all going down, right, while it was all going down with Donald Trump, she was out there filing for a mortgage in the state of Virginia.
And according to documentation, she put down that it was her primary residence.
Now, why would you do that?
Oh, you get a better loan, you see, a better interest rate.
It's the exact same thing she's trying to accuse him of doing.
The only difference is, you know.
He was going after Deutsche Bank for money.
She's going after taxpayers for money because these are federally insured FHA stuff, loans.
So that's where the distinction is.
And that's where it gets really tricky.
And we're going to get to everybody deserting her.
Andrew Cuomo, as I said, just can't stand her.
And I really can't stand Andrew Cuomo.
But, you know, given if you're going to pick sides in this one, I know which one I'm going with.
Anyway, I want to get to the FHA director who said, some of you have seen this before, that basically he won't even refer to her by name.
Like he has such little respect, I think, for this woman that he keeps calling her the subject.
The subject, the subject.
He went on with my former colleague Maria Bertiromo and spoke about just exactly what she did and why they're so convinced that this is fraud.
Listen up.
Recommended that the DOJ investigate New York Attorney General Letitia James over alleged mortgage fraud.
The AG Letitia James has responded.
We don't have the video, but here's the quote This investigation into me is nothing more than retribution.
It's baseless.
It has to do with the fact that on a power of attorney, I mistakenly indicated.
That I was a state of Virginia resident.
And prior to that, I indicated to the mortgage broker that, in fact, in bold cap letters, that I am not a resident of Virginia and never will be.
They just took the power of attorney and they're using that as a basis for enforcement of their investigation.
Bill, do you know why she said she was a resident of Virginia on the power of attorney, if in fact she wasn't?
Well, I know that we are mortgage experts and we only refer things that we think are mortgage fraud and we stand 100% behind the letter.
I'll let the letter speak for itself.
I do know and I have seen some reports from that subject's criminal defense lawyer saying certain things.
I'll leave it to the DOJ to correct various things.
But again, when we see mortgage fraud, we are going to report it.
When we see mortgage fraud, we are going to prosecute it within the confines of our.
Duties.
And we are not going to be intimidated by a subject's criminal defense lawyer.
We are not going to be intimidated by a politician or just because you have an Esquire behind your name.
We are not going to be intimidated by people.
If we see mortgage fraud, we're going to do something about it.
And I think that you're going to see us be taking this on in a big way.
Mortgage fraud is a big problem.
It's a big problem, right?
And so they're trying to make a big stink about this.
And I think they get a live one, right?
That's what I think.
They're actually bringing in a big company to actually.
help them over at the FHA to spot this more frequently.
But I mean, this one's kind of obvious, right?
I mean, if you're putting down that you live in the state of Virginia, that this is going to be your primary residence, yet you're working as the AG in New York.
And before you sit there and tell me, and I know this is all just alleged, right?
She's going to sit there and plead her independence and her, you know, innocence and say, oh, but, you know, this was just a clerical mistake.
I'm sorry, you're a lawyer.
Like, you're, how does this happen?
And by the way, how does it happen over and over again?
Because there are repeated violations by one, Letitia James, as we all well know.
FHA loans, they involve federal oversight, of course, because this is the federal government that is guaranteeing the money.
Very different, again, than, shall we say, what she was going after Donald Trump for something that, you know, the court noticed.
The court definitely noticed because you didn't have any victims.
It was a private transaction, a commercial dispute.
I want to take you back to what we saw from the appellate court, who, by the way, I don't know what the heck they're doing there.
Oh, is Kathy Hochel?
Preventing them, I just ask, from actually throwing this thing out of court because we know where the judges stand.
Hey, we've listened to the entire appellate arguments right here on this show.
I've played you every clip, okay?
But here's the judge saying, hey, this is a private transaction.
Very unlike, say, what Bill Poulty was just talking about, where the FHA is guaranteeing that loan.
It was using.
I'm sorry, but what's being described sounds an awful lot like a potential commercial dispute between private actors.
Well, to go back to the first question about whether there's other examples of this, there are other examples of this.
In the first American case, the Attorney General brought a 6312 case where the transaction at issue was between a very big bank, Wells Fargo, and a professional appraisal firm.
But it wasn't the concern there that the public would ultimately be negatively impacted and affected by what those corporate actors were doing.
And that concern is here as well, because when you have hidden risks getting injected into the market, that hurts the market and honest participants in the market.
And the legislature also decided, contrary to what defendants think, that making sure that business in New York stays honest is the way to do it.
So she wants to go back to it's hurting the market overall.
Can we just come back to reality for a second?
In that particular arrangement, Deutsche Bank said, oh, we'd take that trade.
We'd take it all day long.
We'd take it again and again and again.
We do it again.
And everybody made money.
So, where's your victim, Letitia?
This is Judith Vance getting slammed down right from the get go when she has to argue this garbage case before the appellate court.
May it please the court, Judith Vail for the New York Attorney General's Office.
All of the defendants repeatedly violated.
Ms. Vail, can you identify any previous case in which the Attorney General sued under Executive Law 6312 to upset a private business transaction that was between equally sophisticated partners?
Where the supposed victim had the ability and legal obligation to discover the allegedly misrepresented matters by conducting its own due diligence, where the supposed wrongdoer advised the supposed victim through written disclaimers to conduct its own due diligence and to draw its own conclusions,
where the alleged misrepresentation almost entirely concerned inherently subjective valuations of properties and businesses, and where the victim never complained about any fraud in the transactional losses from it.
Because I've gone through the cases which you've cited, and all of them always involved the consumer protection aspect.
It involved protection of the market.
And I want to add to his question and little to no impact on the public marketplace.
Boom!
Okay?
Little to no impact on the public marketplace.
So you see, people are getting a little tired.
They were tired of that case, right?
Maybe you had a contingency of people in Manhattan. supporting that, supporting her.
But I think you go out to the rest of the state and, you know, that's where you see the truth.
Her party is deserting her.
Her voters are deserting her.
Quick flash of some of these numbers here.
Well, before we get to the numbers, remember what happened.
Again, history, history of mortgage.
How do we say this?
If we don't want to say fraud, I guess we could say alleged fraud, but we could also say, well, you know, kind of odd little things happening.
little things happening.
I'm looking for a term to describe why the heck you would put your dad down and say that you were his wife on a mortgage application.
I mean, I realize you're going all the way back to May 20th of 1983, but let's see, you get a little bit of a history, I think, going on.
Oh, and then there was that brown zone in Brooklyn, right?
She's saying, I only have four units because you see the four units qualifies for some public money.
But in truth, she had five units.
So she did it again there.
And then, and New York is, by the way, looking into that, you get the big whammy, right?
Here's the actual document.
You can see what's circled there.
She's saying that this is her primary residence.
Oh, it's just a clerical era.
That's all it is.
What were the other things?
Like, is it a clerical era that you put yourself down as your dad's wife?
I mean, you know, is this like Ilhan Omar territory or something?
I don't know.
But I think she was lying, okay?
This woman is a liar.
That's what she does.
And she's continuing to lie when she insists on her innocence, as she has been doing.
It's a little bit difficult to hear her.
It's always difficult to hear her, but I'm wondering if we have her comments there to the group in New York City that she was trying, trying to plead her innocence to.
You see, she has to come out and say something now.
As you know, we filed a lawsuit against the former court to prove.
Donald Trump and his family.
We secured a $454 million judgment against him, which is on appeal.
The case is on appeal.
I have no idea when that case will be decided.
This investigation into me is nothing more than retribution, it's baseless.
It has to do with the fact that on a power of attorney, I mistakenly indicated that I was a state of Virginia.
But prior to that, I have indicated to the mortgage broker that, in fact, bold cap letters that I am not a resident of Virginia and never will be.
And in the mortgage application, I indicated that I would not live in Virginia and I was not a resident.
They just took the power of attorney and they're using that as a basis for enforcement for their investigation when you're telling yourself that, okay?
I think everybody's still wondering how it is that you as an attorney yourself are turning over power attorney and then blaming the power of attorney, blaming someone else who wrote down that this was going to be your primary residence.
One would have to think I'm just speculating here.
Again, these are all allegations.
I won't have to think that there was some kind of thought going into the process in terms of the mortgage itself, right?
If she had secured or was going to secure a mortgage for this, was she doing this under the assumption by everybody that this was her primary residence?
No, it was just a residence apparently for her niece.
I'd like to know if the niece was getting any public funding for this one, right?
This is very, very, very suspicious.
And again, if it were isolated in and of itself, we'd say it's not good.
She's an attorney.
Judge Janine's Warning00:11:52
She ought to know better.
But this is more than an isolated incident, right?
You saw, by the way, this is the house that was in question.
You saw the brownstone in Brooklyn.
Boom.
You saw the house that she got with her father back in 83 where she said she was married to him.
And so you start to put together a narrative here, you know, if you're me or anyone else with a few brain cells that sort of suggest this woman is.
a constant, notorious liar.
Stephen Miller certainly believes so, the president's advisor.
Letitia James says the allegations against her are nothing more than a revenge tour by the Trump administration.
What's your response?
My response is that Letitia James is one of the most corrupt, shameless individuals ever to hold public office.
She is guilty not only of those crimes, but of countless more crimes by using and abusing her public office to try to persecute an innocent man, depriving him of his rights, engaging in a conspiracy to obstruct our election, and to overthrow our democratic processes and procedures.
She is guilty of multiple significant serial criminal violations.
Yeah.
Right.
And then this is the biggie because, you know, again, you're an attorney.
You kind of, you're going after somebody for alleged mortgage fraud.
And at the very same time, you're not going to dot your I's and cross your T's on your own applications.
I'm not buying it.
I'm really not.
You know, I don't think voters are either.
So the grand jury investigation has begun.
Subpoenas have been issued.
They're out.
We're waiting on an indictment that could come.
Sometime very, very soon, I would expect.
Meanwhile, her poll numbers are sinking.
Okay, Leticia is seeing a real struggle.
Her campaign is on the ropes, according to one city journal writing about it there in New York.
She's lost the media, she's lost her party, she hates Andrew Como.
Andrew Como mutually returns the feelings on the other end and you know he's probably going to go on to be the next mayor of New York.
So if New York is her only place of getting any kind of backing, What actually happens to Letitia James?
Let's look at these numbers.
Okay, so she is doing far worse, ladies and gentlemen, than one Senator Chuck Schumer.
They keep talking about Chuck Schumer.
Oh, Chuck Schumer, they say, is going to be ousted by the likes of AOC.
And so he's so vulnerable.
Well, I got news for you.
You want to talk about who's vulnerable?
It's one Attorney General, Letitia James, who's got favorable ratings of 40%, unfavorable ratings of 33% and 27%.
Say they just don't know.
I mean, Hakeem Jeffries is in horrible, horrible shape as well.
Take a look at that.
38 favorable, so he's even doing worse than her.
Uh unfavorable, though a little bit lighter, 27 36, do not know.
Okay, these guys are in serious, serious trouble, serious trouble, all right.
So she's in trouble, they're in trouble, their party's in trouble.
Meanwhile the media can't stand her anymore.
I mean they are switching.
If you read the article about how her campaign is in so much trouble, it's in part because of the Sienna College Research poll that I just showed you, where her unfavorables right are quite large, 40 to 33 percent.
That split is worse than one would expect.
They write for a Democrat.
Attorney general of New York.
Most Democrats viewed the attorney general favorably when she was underwater, with Republicans viewed negatively in the region, except for New York City.
So last time around it was sort of like she kind of skated by because nobody likes her other than in New York City.
And now it's getting bad because take a look at this and we've been through some of this data before but I want to show you the Sienna College poll.
You have 79% saying that they back deporting immigrants convicted of a crime in this country.
Well, that is not what Letitia believes, right?
Letitia is out there tweeting that we need to save them all and you can't have ICE in Rikers, et cetera.
ICE is in Rikers, by the way.
39% backed deporting immigrants with no criminal record.
59% do not want taxpayers paying for migrants' medical care.
42% opposed.
25% in favor.
26, I should say.
48% support federal efforts to deport all illegal migrants.
31% opposed.
These are New York numbers, okay?
So this is the state of New York.
This is the backdrop that she's running against all while she was out there going too male, too pale, too stale when she talked about Donald Trump.
I mean, we don't have to look at the sound again because it just makes your skin crawl, right?
But I think you need to remember the context around her and how much vitriol there was.
And ha ha, he won.
And they discovered that you, Leticia, in such a poetic way, are now being hauled into court for something that you accused Donald Trump of doing that everybody seems to be in agreement with was not actually a crime.
So, yeah, so her poll numbers are sinking and she is challenged and the media is like, we don't want anything to do with her.
Meanwhile, take a look at this.
She's out there trying to warn against Andrew Cuomo.
And I said to somebody yesterday, this actually makes me want to pull for Andrew.
And I don't really like him at all.
Like, let me stress that again.
At all.
All right.
And I blame him for a lot of the horror that went down in New York during the days of 2020.
But I find this amazing.
So Letitia, who is a Democrat, should be kind of, you know, linked up with him.
But no, they can't stand each other.
They can't stand each other.
And so she's out warning against Andrew Cuomo running for what?
President?
Excuse me.
He actually just wants mayor right now, even as both could be criminally charged by Donald Trump's.
DOJ, don't forget Andrew Cuomo's in trouble.
Judge Janine's going after that.
We talked about that in one of the episodes just the other day.
I encourage you to go take a look because Judge Janine, who basically doesn't have a whole lot of love lost for one Andrew Cuomo, is taking that case on.
They're looking into what went down with the nursing homes and the tragedies that ensued under none other than Andrew Cuomo's watch.
So I'll just say this.
She's lost everyone, literally.
positively everyone.
So I don't know what you do when you're Letitia and you can't even rely on the media there to help you because you created such a disaster of your own.
Letitia James caught in a war of her own making is the headline out of New Yorker magazine most recently in which they write, this is great, you guys.
It's just great.
It is a fact beyond reasonable dispute, they say, that Letitia James weaponized her official power as New York's attorney general to pursue Donald Trump. for political purposes.
Yes, it is a fact.
It is a fact.
So isn't that in and of itself enough reason to actually disbar her?
I mean, if you are an AG and you are doing everything for just political motivation, then what are you doing in there as AG?
Why are you continuing on as a lawyer?
How are we allowing people like that to actually practice law when they have literally no respect?
They just treat it as a weapon.
I don't want an AG like that, do you?
I mean, a lot of people were coming out and saying this is actually going to be the ruin of New York City.
I mean, I'd say. you kind of had me at Texas, right?
New York City's, what, 4% income tax that they throw on top of the larger state tax, which is, of course, on top of the federal tax.
And given the salt thing, I don't know if you're going to be able to really continue.
Well, we'll see.
Like that's part of what's up for grabs.
And that's part of the whole Elon Donald Trump fiasco thing that we'll talk about a little bit later.
But it's not fair.
It's not fair that Texas or New Hampshire or any other state that actually has fiscal responsibility sort of instilled in them.
Florida is another one.
They shouldn't have to pay for New York.
I'm sorry.
Like that just shouldn't exist.
And so I'm actually of a believer that that salt thing is completely unfair.
Anyway, I digress.
Let's get back to what's going on here with her because I'm telling you, the media has turned on her.
The Democrats are turning on her.
The media is turning on her.
Part of it is, you know, you got to ask why.
I think it's because they actually really think she's guilty.
I really do.
I think that's why.
And so with everything that's going on, you kind of gotta pick your battles.
But this particular writer in New Yorker is writing that during the trial, James would make a series of wildly inappropriate out-of-court statements that would ordinarily get a prosecutor fired.
At one point, she publicly branded Trump and his family members as lying while they were testifying.
I mean, Tishy, baby, now she has to go and turn to, I guess the local media was too hard on her.
She has to go to MSNBC, but not even MSNBC.
She's going to like the podcasts on MSNBC.
I don't think these do that well.
We're in the top 100, by the way.
We climbed number 36, up from number 52.
Can't say the same about this guy, but hey.
You mentioned the lawsuit, which was one of the first lawsuits your office was part of, and one of the sort of earliest responses to the Trump administration, which is on the question of birthright citizenship.
The 14th Amendment of the United States clearly states in the text of that amendment that all persons.
Born in the United States are citizens thereof and have all the privileges and immunities of that citizenship.
There's a famous Supreme Court case settling this as birthright citizenship, having to do with a Chinese immigrant who, back in the 19th century.
And born out of slavery as well.
I'm sorry, say that again.
And also born out of slavery.
Right, born out of slavery.
So this has been black letter law for.
A very long time.
I think also the understanding of the time is that this is the meaning of it.
They have presumed to revoke it in an executive order, which even if they could, I don't think they could do it through an executive order, but that's another question.
Now, many people, I think, thought this was facially absurd, an enormous Hail Mary from them.
Yeah.
The Supreme Court just granted oral arguments.
Okay, I'm sorry.
I can't sit through that.
Is it Rachel?
Is it Chris?
It's like the lookalike.
It's going to take them forever to get to the good part.
But basically, she says, I'm totally innocent.
This is just Donald Trump, you know, doing his thing.
She's given her same old, same old spiel that she gives to everyone.
But what I would say, that particular situation, that is, her trying to say, oh uh you, you can't actually um deport people who have been born here, even if they were born to illegal families, and so she's trying to fight that one.
She's fighting everything right, like she's still proud of all the all the things that she's fighting there except, you know, I think that the average New Yorker again we'll just go back to her polls doesn't think that Leticia cares about fighting for them.
Right, they don't like her.
Now I mean, again back to the media.
I find this amazing because it's very very, very liberal publication, they're saying that James' theory of liability was so flimsy that it barely conceived her previously acknowledged motivation to stick one to Trump by any means available.
Dubious Ethical Instincts00:02:37
The purported fraud victims were multimillion dollar banks, right?
Foreign banks that were repaid in full on their loans to the Trump organization and made millions of dollars in profit through interest payments.
Unsurprisingly, a New York Appellate Division panel voiced pointed skepticism about James's victory.
Victimless case and seems poised to either substantially reduce the verdict or throw it out.
And so that's gonna have a big hit to her as well.
She looks like a complete and utter total fool with the poetic symmetry of now the Eastern District of Virginia issuing federal subpoenas to Letitia James and everyone around her as the media walls close in, as the financial walls close in.
The lady doesn't have any money.
So now, oh, this is poetic, right?
She's gonna have to sell.
Some of her assets to pay off her debts.
She's got no money.
How's she gonna pay for the fancy schmancy lawyer that used to represent Hunter?
I mean, at least he had art to sell.
What do you got, Tishy?
Oh, the house in Norfolk.
Norfolk, did I say that right?
Virginia.
Someone said the other day, it was like poor folk, Norfolk.
There we go.
Okay, now I got it.
Anyway, Abby Lowell, he's a pretty penny, right?
Maybe he'll take you on pro bono.
Not.
No one's taking you pro bono.
No one likes you.
The media doesn't like you.
Andrew Cuomo, who may be the next mayor of New York, really doesn't like you.
Oh, I don't know what you're going to do then.
All your funding's going to dry up because nobody in New York State likes you, honey bunny.
Okay, take a look here.
She wants $10 million.
No wonder they don't like her.
$10 million to pay for Abby Lowell.
And they wrote this somehow in there, tried to like slip a fast one by everybody, but leave it to the media.
This is when they do do a good job.
At their job, the NEW YORK POST picking up on it, even NEW YORK Magazine again liberal place picking up on it.
She has inexplicably chosen to use the resources of her public office to respond to the investigation.
They write, James has again displayed dubious ethical instincts in her response to the pending inquiry.
Dubious ethical instincts, you better believe.
These are super dubious, John Luna.
Thank you so much for the support.
Let me see if I can get you up there.
Ah okay, we're going to try again on another screen.
You see, my tech skills are ever so slightly challenged from time to time.
Civil Case Shame00:02:19
I think this is incredibly poetic.
But John, thank you.
Thank you for the support.
We're fully independent over here.
We like it that way.
So it's really great all that you guys are doing to bring attention to the show.
He's just giving me a super chat.
Nice, nice.
Good afternoon to you as well.
Thank you.
Thank you again for all the support.
Much appreciated.
This woman, you know, we do this story a lot.
And people say, why do you keep doing it?
And one, I do it because, well, to me, this was the most fascinating case, okay, the most fascinating case of all the cases and perhaps just the worst.
Like, you know, I mean, Fannie's was bad.
I get it.
Alvin's Bragg's was bad.
Jack Smith, of course.
But this one, and perhaps it goes back to my financial background, I really thought was threatening in terms of overall business in the state of New York and importantly in New York City, which is the financial capital of the world.
So you've got some kind of crazy DA out there who has a vendetta.
It reminds me, I also spent a lot of time, about six weeks, covering the Duke.
Lacrosse story.
Remember that horrible thing down at DUKE University where these poor kids were accused of a heinous, heinous crime by a crackpot of a woman.
And i'm just telling you like I remember getting off the plane and that was like a lot of years ago right, so 20 somewhat years ago, and I was still sort of relatively naive and new to journalism.
So i'm like okay, I have to be like really unbiased here, I can't let my own.
And I was like I just know, I just know they're innocent, and this is before talking to anyone like I have good instincts guys, I really do.
Like I got to tell you, sometimes my instincts get the better of me.
All right, I was a little too vocal in 2020.
Good news is I'm over here.
We're having more fun anyway, aren't we, than I ever did at Fox.
But the truth of it is I'm often very good at spotting sort of news cycles and big issues even before they're out there in general.
And so that can kind of get you in trouble in the real world, but it's kind of fun over here in sort of this new media land where I'm permitted a little more rope, if you would.
I would say, though, that this reminds me of that.
So that many years ago, I was like, gosh, I really, I really think these kids are innocent.
And I was right.
All right.
That was an aggressive, nasty, political animal of a DA in Mike Nyphong.
Disbarred Principal Residence00:03:24
And he wound up getting disbarred for that, right?
And he was run out of town.
I mean, the guy was a total jerk.
He did that for his reasons because he was running for reelection.
He was trying to appeal to his voter base there and really obviously worked the whole race thing.
And I don't see him as entirely dissimilar from what Letitia James was doing.
You know, this is a civil case in her case.
It's a criminal case because they were federal taxpayer dollars and she could actually find herself in the Slammer for up to 30 years.
In his case, he also was in a tremendous amount of trouble.
In Donald Trump's case, which she was trying to bring against him, you know, that can't fly as a criminal prosecution because it was a civil case where you actually had no victims.
I mean, so she's looking at 30 years and gosh darn it, she ought to face them.
Like she really ought to face them.
So this is, I keep doing this story and we got other news to get to today, I know, but I want to keep this front and center on your agenda because this is in some ways, I think, emblematic of everything that went down.
for the last four years of the Biden administration and everything that's coming forward now.
So you had these unscrupulous, in my estimation, people who are now being accused of actual mortgage fraud that would be criminal in nature.
And to think that she was trying to go after him for something similar where all the judges were like, you don't have a case here.
So this is really important.
This is really important because a lot of bad stuff went down.
And I find this to be the most poetic of all of it, especially given that now that she's out of money and can't pay her high-priced attorney that represented Hunter Biden, you know, at least he had the art, I'm not sure what she's going to do other than maybe sell some of her assets?
Justice?
Four days after a judge ordered Donald Trump to pay $355 million for a decade of fraud, New York Attorney General Letitia James says she's prepared to do everything she can to make sure the former president pays his fine.
including, she told us, seizing the buildings that bear his name.
If he does not have funds to pay off the judgment, then we will seek judgment enforcement mechanisms in court, and we will ask the judge to seize his assets.
Hmm.
Oh.
Maybe this one will have to go.
I mean, it's no Trump Tower.
I'm looking at, for those that are listening on audio or the Spotify podcast just on audio, we're looking at a little picture of that house in Virginia, her quote-unquote principal residence.
Yeah, definitely not her principal residence.
30 years she's looking at, ladies and gentlemen, 30 years.
I don't honestly think she's going to get all 30.
I mean, maybe they'll say, hey, the threat of one, and we'll let you out for good behavior.
But I think there's a lot of shame that comes with this.
I think she should be disbarred.
New York is looking into that.
We've heard, of course, from Elise Stefanik in the past.
We've heard from others that are now going to the New York Bar Association and saying, wait a second, why can't this woman, if she's being accused, right, of this federal crime, Once the indictment hits, I think you know what's going to hit the fan.
It's kind of like out in Wisconsin where the judge got indicted by the federal government for impedement because she was bringing an illegal run into her courtroom.
ICE Intimidation Tactics00:14:32
So, oh, ICE is over there.
Let me just let you out the back door.
So it's going to be a similar kind of thing.
So there's going to be a lot of shame.
Her political career is over.
She hates Andrew Cuomo.
I hate Andrew Cuomo, but I'm telling you, I'm going to like him when it's all said and done if he can get rid of Tishy.
All right.
Like I'll have new respect for the guy.
So he's he's not in her corner.
The Democrats are backing away.
The media is backing away.
And you saw what the voters are doing.
So Tish is going to be up a creek without a paddle.
And I'm sure there's some good fanny jokes we could make, but we will we'll keep it clean here.
You know why?
Because we are so proud.
We're one of the top 100 podcasts right now on on YouTube.
And it's amazing.
And it's all thanks to you guys and your support and everything that you're doing.
I love being independent.
I've been at all the big networks before and trust me, it's a whole different ballgame over there.
Part of being independent means we have our sponsors and we love our sponsors for that.

All right.
Tom Homan is issuing a serious warning to AOC.
and to Michelle Wu, the mayor of Boston, and to Letitia James and anyone else who wants to stand in the way of ICE doing its job.
You see, Michelle Wu does not like, this is the mayor of Boston, that the ICE agents sometimes wear masks on their raids.
And she's got such a problem with this that she came out with a really heinous statement this week.
I mean, beyond heinous.
I can't imagine, like, the left gets away with so much.
If anybody on the right ever said anything like this, Oh, there would be H E double L to pay.
But it's like it didn't even happen.
Nobody picked up on this except for maybe yours truly right here.
Noticing what Michelle Wu, this mayor of Boston, who's off her rocker, she starts to actually equate ICE agents with a really heinous, like seriously heinous group, cult.
I'm going to let her and the reporter say it.
Because you know what?
I don't even want these words coming out of my mouth.
This woman is a disgust.
She's a disgrace.
Let her say it.
I don't know of any.
Police department that routinely wears masks.
We know that there are other groups that routinely wear masks.
NSC 131 routinely wears masks.
Mayor, just a clarifier, are you comparing ICE, you said, to NSC 131, the neo Nazi group?
Are you comparing them to a neo Nazi group?
What I said is that Boston Police and no police department that I know of at the local level routinely wears masks.
I'm pretty sure you just said that.
I mean, you can try and walk back your words.
Did you think that people didn't know what the group was?
Maybe that's it, but the reporter knew.
Once again, Mayor Wu.
I don't know of any police department that routinely wears masks.
We know that there are other groups that routinely wear masks.
NSC 131 routinely wears masks.
Mayor, just to clarify.
Woo woo.
Mayor Woo.
How is that okay?
They're trying to equate ICE with like heinous cults.
Like, what the heck is going on?
I mean, ICE is the federal government that's there to protect us, and they're trying to arrest criminals, for goodness sakes.
Holman has no use for this lady.
It is disgusting.
And a lot of our congressional representatives who are vilifying ICE and the Borb Tribe every day, they're driving this hate.
And I'm telling you, it's only a matter of time before there's an incident where an ICE agent is going to have to take a life or an ICE agent is going to lose a life.
I mean, here's the truth.
Under President Trump, since he's been back, let me tell you what ICE and the Borb Tribe has done.
They gave us the most secure border in the history of this nation.
Fentanyl trafficking is down over 50%, which means we're saving lives from overdose deaths.
Sex trafficking, women and children, is down significantly.
Migrant death, over 4,000 aliens died making the journey.
They're not dying because they're not coming.
Americans, a quarter million Americans died from fentanyl.
Again, fentanyl is under half of what was coming across.
President Trump's saving lives.
The men and women of ICE are saving lives every day.
And if you look at the numbers, the numbers don't lie.
Majority of people ICE is arresting are criminal, illegal aliens, public safety threats.
And the non-criminals, most of them are scooped up in sanctuary cities.
The world's upside down when the guy that carries them badging guns, the bad guy, and the ones who break the law are the victims.
It's just terrible.
It's upside down.
It's just incredible.
You better believe it's upside down.
Right?
When the mayor of Boston cares so little of the residents that actually live there that she's making those kinds of comparisons.
And you know she's not alone.
I mean, you had La Monica.
It's operatic.
Out there in New Jersey recently.
With her big red blazer pushing her body up against the ICE agents to the point where they actually made the decision to arrest her because she was assaulting federal officers.
And AOC's all mad about it.
Like, don't you touch my people.
Don't you touch La Monica.
If anyone's breaking the law in this situation, it's not members of Congress, it's the Department of Homeland Security.
It's people like Tom Homan and Secretary Christy Nome.
You lay a finger on them, we are going to have a problem.
I mean, just for the record, I mean, she seems to be a little more aggressive than you'd think, right?
A little more, just a little more aggressive than you'd think.
And I think this is becoming increasingly a problem.
I'll tell you, though, Tom has no use for AOC.
We know that.
And, you know, it's just that she's this young, naive idiot.
And, you know, she's out there trying to threaten him.
People like Tom Homan, I'll tell you, you do this, you do that.
He's like, Yeah, you bring it on, honey, bunny.
I am a lot older than you.
Like, I was doing this before you were born.
You can't intimidate me.
Come on, give me a break.
You know, I was enforcing it.
I was wearing a green.
Okay, small aside.
Tapper.
Look at the look on his face.
It's like he's severely constipated or something, maybe too many things on his book tour.
You're the form, Borbatrol agent, for five years before she was even born.
I had more than three decades.
Enforcing immigration law before she became a member of Congress.
I've worked for six presidents.
I've seen policies, i've seen hundreds of policies.
Some work, some didn't, but you can't deny the success of the Trump administration when it comes to border security again the most secure board in the history of this nation.
And I said from day one and she knows this, you can not support ice.
Shame on you.
You can support sanctuary cities shame on you.
But you can't cross the line.
You can't knowingly impede a lot of ice law enforcement officers.
That is a felony.
You can't harbor and conceal knowingly.
Harbor and conceal.
It'll go ailing from ice.
That is a felony.
And you certainly can't commit criminal trespass.
And as far as New York, her district, this administration has done more to protect her district than she has.
The number of criminal aliens we took off the streets of New York made her community much safer.
She ought to be thanking the members of this administration, the men and women of ICE who protect this country and make her community safer.
So, you know, politics over public safety is just ridiculous.
She ought to love her community more than she hates Trump because we're doing a lot to protect her community.
Yeah.
But, but you see, she wants more people coming into her community.
Let's just like call it what it is.
All right.
Like let's call it what it is.
Homan has done this before.
We played this clip for you yesterday.
Remember where he said there's a reason why they were putting up in hotels in New York as opposed to getting an ice bed?
Because in an ice bed, you know what?
You'd actually like go through the process.
They'd say, oh, you're applying for asylum.
Well, you don't qualify for asylum.
So guess what?
Here's a plane ticket home out of here.
So they would deport them immediately.
Whereas if you went and you stayed at the Roosevelt Hotel.
where you got daily maid service.
I mean, come on.
I want daily maid service.
Did it come down with Turndown?
Come with Turndown?
I don't know.
That would be twice daily maid service, I suppose.
But they had daily maid service.
They had little credit cards where they could go buy ethnically appropriate food because apparently they didn't like the food that the Roosevelt Hotel was serving that were upwards of $300.
Mayor Adams got rid of those right away.
So what was the thinking?
Well, according to Tom Holman, they were bringing them all here for political reasons.
This was a political takeover, you see, because the more people you have living in New York.
Well, then the more congressional representatives you would need, right?
Even though you would think, hey, hey, hey, these people aren't actually here legally.
Therefore, we don't need more representation for them.
But that's not how they think about it.
I mean, you think about AOC and how she had to stand up for her constituents.
I'm like, your constituents, your constituents, the people that vote for you are here legally, not all of these people.
But no, they're all one and the same to her.
New York, don't forget, they wanted 800,000 people.
There were non-citizens who'd be able to vote in state elections.
The appellate court had to turn that one down.
That went all the way up through the ranks.
Thank goodness we got some adults in the room, but here's AOC saying, you got to resist.
If ICE comes, here's what you got to do.
Of course, she can't speak Spanish.
Yo hablo español.
I speak Spanish.
Funny enough, but she can't.
I speak a lot of languages.
It's the singing background.
Anyway, here she is.
Principle number one in what you can do is that when one of these things comes to your backyard.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
When one of these things comes to your backyard.
Do you see what's going on here?
A dehumanization of ICE agents with Michelle, woo, out in Boston, making her comments.
And now AOC. saying these things, you understand what they're trying to do.
They're trying to dehumanize ICE, dehumanize federal officers, while Tom Homan says, careful here because somebody's going to get hurt on either side.
And we don't want that.
We just want officers to be able to do their job.
Let's go back and listen again to Ms. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
To your backyard, you can resist.
And what that happens over millions of people, Is that you generate enough friction that they cannot go as fast as they want to go?
Okay, so I'm going to give you some examples that have already been working.
Let's start with immigration and ICE.
When people say, What can we do?
In my community, we are a heavily immigrant community.
ICE raids deeply affect and disrupt our community.
So, number one, if you live in a community with a lot of immigrants, Know your rights.
Blah, blah, blah.
And she goes on to say them.
And of course, she can't speak Spanish.
So she has to come out now with a post where she says, resist, resist.
And then she says it in Spanish too.
Okay.
If you see ice in public, here's what you do.
You verify, you document, you share.
And then it flips into Spanish.
So this is her deal.
And you know what?
Holman would say she's impeding.
She's impeding law enforcement.
And he wants her arrested, investigated, and stopped.
He has already requested this vis-a-vis Pam Bondi at the DOJ.
I know we're like, Pam, come on, come on, Pam, Pam, Pam's got a tough job.
We're all, we need like 100 Pams, okay, because there's a lot to do.
Anyway, AOC is worried, apparently so worried that she goes on to NPR, of course, you know, the place with the USAID money.
She goes on to NPR and says, well, I'm waiting, I'm wondering.
I think she's kind of hoping because she thinks this will make her a bigger deer politically.
I mean, look, she's in the wrong.
She can't do what she's doing.
She's trying to do this, again, for political purposes to advance her name and because she wants all these people coming here.
Look, the law is the law.
It stands as it stands.
Holman knows this.
Everyone knows this, except for people who are socialist political animals like this lady.
You had a recent dispute, if that's the right word, with Tom Homan, the president's Homeland Security czar, so called.
Foreign Affairs Clause Power00:02:37
You held an online forum, a Know Your Rights forum, that he didn't like.
What were you doing?
What was your goal as you saw it?
My job is to educate and act as a liaison of critical information to my constituents.
And I was informing all of my constituents of their constitutional protections.
And in particular, their constitutional protections against illegal search and seizure in the United States.
Holman was upset, I suppose, because he felt that you were giving advice to people who were here illegally.
Were you?
I was giving advice.
Okay, this is interesting, guys.
Again, remember what I said about it doesn't matter if you're here illegally or not.
As far as Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is concerned, you are one of her constituents, you see, because she wants to get.
More people representing her district, ideally, in her view, more and more Democrats.
Listen.
And by the way, what's going on with the lighting there?
She looks terrible.
All of my constituents.
Yeah.
He said he was going to report you, or even that he did reach out to the Department of Justice.
Have you heard from the Department of Justice?
I have not, and I intend on reaching out to the Department of Justice to inquire.
Really?
What would your question be for the Department of Justice?
Well, there is a member of the Trump administration who is threatening and seeks to open an inquiry.
And are you going to do it?
What would you learn?
What do you hope to learn from that exchange?
I think it's important to know where this administration stands and if they intend on using political intimidation to silence their critics.
I'm sorry?
Political intimidation?
This is political intimidation.
You want to talk intimidation?
Let's just take a look at La Monica.
That seems like intimidation.
I mean, really, really.
You know, that really seems more like intimidation.
They were shouting like down with ice, all these kind of anti-ice slogans earlier in the day.
And then, you know, this whole thing broke out because La Monica wants to get in there.
And so she starts forcing her physical person onto these ice officers.
And they're like, what?
I mean, this is getting a little crazy because you know what?
You guys don't have the right to do what you're doing.
Okay, you want to go and look at the Delancey Center in New Jersey?
You're welcome to do it, La Monica.
State Media Lies00:04:10
Okay, but you have to make an appointment and do it the right way.
You don't show up with a whole bunch of people and then start shouting and chanting and have ice descend on things.
And then ice says, okay, you got to leave.
And she's like, no, I'm not leaving.
And she just pushes her way through Ford.
That is violating Title 18, U.S. Code Section 111A1 for assaulting, impeding, and interfering with law enforcement.
It actually carries up to eight years in jail.
And like, what do you think that was?
That woman was out of control.
She was shoving federal agents.
She was out of control.
The days of that crap are over in this country.
We're going to have law and order.
Yeah.
Law and order.
Imagine that.
That's actually what people voted for.
And speaking of law and order, you know what?
The Constitution says that the feds have the right.
Through a whole bunch of things.
There's a naturalization clause.
There's a supremacy clause.
There's a well, you know here I've got it on the screen for you I mean basically the naturalization clause article one Section eight clause for somebody want to send this to La Monica Does somebody want to send it to AOC because this is actually kind of important It means that Congress has the power here and if Congress has the power then that would mean if you don't like the rules Well,
then you as a congressperson AOC you need to change it So you need to get rid of Article 1, Section 8, Class 4, because it says the Congress shall have the power to establish a uniform rule of naturalization, which what do you think does?
Gives Congress the authority, right, to determine who's going to become a citizen.
And right now, the way that stands, we've gone through this as well.
I've showed you the two qualifications to get amnesty.
And it means you are politically being prosecuted or there's a religious prosecution.
And guess what?
Like this stuff doesn't hold.
You're coming in from Guatemala or El Salvador, and I get it.
It's not so great there.
But that doesn't necessarily qualify you for amnesty.
This is the way the world works okay, like we have laws for a reason.
If you don't like the laws, then it's up to you to try and change them.
So you've got that.
You get the commerce clause, which I love.
You know the commerce clause because you can apply it almost to anything where you know.
Like you're the United States Of America okay, and this was how it was set up.
What do you think Alexander Hamilton was thinking?
Okay, you're going to be the United States Plural, United there for a reason.
So it means that you can't do one thing in California and something else entirely in the state of Texas, because There's financial transactions that go back and forth.
And so immigration is being interpreted as something that is affected by the Commerce Clause.
Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3.
And then you have, oh, Don, you love this stuff, right?
I know, because he's a legal guy.
Necessary and proper clause, one of our viewers here in the live chat.
Necessary and proper clause, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 18, to make all laws which stand necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing.
Prowers.
I mean, this is not that hard.
This is, I mean, Buddy Sanders, thank you for the generosity pointing out that LaMonica was getting kind of rough there.
And you think that, oops, what happened there while we were trying to put that on the screen, that she may have actually done that assault.
Look, they've got more tape.
And so we're waiting for ICE to release some additional tape.
But I saw what you saw, and it looked pretty uncomfortable.
You have the Migration Importation Clause, Article 1, Section 9, Clause 1, Constitutional Basis for Federal. power over immigration.
This goes all the way back to 1808.
And then you have Foreign Affairs Clause, okay?
This implied, or I should say implied powers clause.
And this is something that has come up actually as recently as 2012 out in Arizona.
And what did they decide?
What do they decide?
The feds have the power over immigration, naturalization, et cetera.
So I don't know what these people are thinking.
I really don't.
Except now they're trying to make it like big bad Trump, big bad Trump.
Journalist Truthfulness Crisis00:15:34
Well, big bad Trump is so bad.
We have to physically, what, take up arms against him?
Did you hear the latest out of Tim Waltz?
I know.
Tamp on Tim.
I know we don't like to talk about him or even see him.
And in this case, he's yelling into the microphone.
And I'm sorry, I tried.
I can't do anything about the audio.
It makes him more compelling in the sense that you know just how atrocious he really is.
But anyway, Mr. Tim Waltz, kind of sounding a little like Michelle Wu and then some.
It's like he wants people to take up arms, get violent.
I don't know.
Let's see how you interpret this.
Let me know.
When it's adult like Donald Trump, you bully the out of him.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Tim Waltz needs serious help.
Listen.
Maybe it's time for us to be a little more fierce.
Because we have to ferociously push back on this.
And again, I'll speak to my teacher colleagues in here.
The thing that bothers a teacher more than anything is to watch a bully.
To watch this bully and to stop it.
And when it's a child, you talk to them and you tell them why bullying's wrong.
But when it's adult like Donald Trump, you bully the out of him back.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Democrat Party today.
I mean, it is.
That's the Democrat Party.
It's from one of the shorts that we are publishing.
I'm not sure if it went up already.
I think it goes up over the weekend.
So you guys got a sneak preview on my shorts feed.
But I mean, this is, again, I think in keeping with the rhetoric that we're starting to see, which I actually find very alarming.
Okay.
I find very alarming because I think about the sort of anti-Semitism type rhetoric that's been out there on college campuses.
And you look at what's happened both in Colorado, you look at what happened in Washington, D.C. recently.
And then you have like politicians like this guy.
He was nearly vice president of the United States.
Scary thought, right?
But calling for seemingly a really sort of bad scenario, on top of which you have Michelle Wu, AOC, trying to dehumanize ICE officers.
I mean, Trump blows it off because he thinks the guy's a total idiot.
Listen, I think I would have won, Susie would say, I would have won Pennsylvania easily anyway, even if the governor ran, the real governor, not the governor from Minnesota, who's, I mean, he's a sick puppy, that guy, that poor guy, I feel sorry for him.
But they made a bad choice with him.
They did.
They made a terrible choice with Kamala Harris, right?
But, you know, there wasn't a lot of choices to be made, you see, because they dug themselves into that hole pretty well.
And now they're going to have to dig themselves out.
The DOJ is launching an investigation into Biden's mental decline and the use of the auto pen during that time.
You simultaneously have James Comer subpoenaing five different people already, including, by the way, the doctor for one.
Joe Biden.
And I think the overall concern here is that you had somebody who was totally incapacitated in a very important role.
And this means that everything that he put into play is now up for grabs.
I mean, the Supreme Court already ruled that Donald Trump and his team could get rid of that parole thing they had going on, where they brought 525,000 people here from Haiti, Nicaragua, Venezuela, one other country I'm missing, Cuba, perhaps, but they brought them here.
And they gave them work permits and, all you know, set them up with the whole shebang and Trump said, we're getting rid of this and that was fought.
It went all the way to the Supreme Court and while they're still working out the legalities temporarily anyway, Donald Trump is able to get rid of that.
So that's one program that's come into question.
There were all kinds of other things right, like, why was he pardoning 8 000 people in one day, the most ever in history?
Were those pardons for sale?
That's some people have suggested, including a congressman from Tennessee, I believe.
Anyway, here is Biden's response.
He spoke to ABC just yesterday and he said, let me be clear, I made the decisions during my presidency.
I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations.
Any suggestion that I didn't is ridiculous and false.
Really?
You made all those decisions?
You mean it wasn't Dr. Jill and her chief of staff?
It wasn't some of the people behind the scenes?
Because, you know, I'm just looking at what you're all looking at.
I don't think this guy was making any decisions.
He kept getting, you know, in trouble, right, with his people.
They'd say, don't answer the questions with reporters.
Look at him here.
I'm actually worried he's about to pass out.
I've shown you this clip before.
It's my most, for me, it was the most concerning one.
Here we go.
I better not start the questions.
I'll get in trouble.
I better not start the questions.
Super Tuesday voters.
Super Tuesday.
Do you have a message for voters?
Thanks so much.
So there they are.
They're asking all the questions, and he looks sick as a dog.
Like he's going to pass out.
Like he doesn't know where he is.
Like, what is going on?
And, you know, this wasn't a standalone situation.
And to the Hila Indian River community, the Heli, Hila, nothing wrong with me.
No, nothing wrong with you.
I mean, over and over and over and over again, the time he's lost at G7 in Georgia Maloney.
Now that's a prime minister, right?
Georgia Maloney from Italy going over and rescuing him.
Thank goodness.
Like somebody cared.
You know what?
I've always liked her.
But this was in a moment where I was like, you know what?
This lady, she's got some real class.
Look at her.
You got all the other guys, you know, just clueless that she sees that.
Look at that immediately.
She sees that Joe Biden is really interested in the parachuter over on the side.
Forgive me.
You know who would call me a cheap fake because I'm not showing you the parachuter, but there she brings him back.
She escorts him back to the group.
Everybody else is kind of just, you know, they get that their picture is being taken, but he then puts on his sunglasses and even the slowness by which he does that is pretty concerning.
And of course, there was the moment two years earlier where he's like, where's Jackie?
Where's Jackie?
After poor Jackie had already died months earlier.
And then there was the invisible chair moment.
I mean, this was another sort of for the record book.
Now, There was a chair there, but he just kind of seemed, again, slow and clueless, didn't know what was going on.
You follow that up with that horrific debate, and you kind of wonder really and truly who was in charge.
Was this Dr. Jill calling all the shots?
I want to thank joe, you did such a great job.
You answered every question.
You are the And let me ask the crowd, what did Trump do?
Yes!
I mean, I actually think there's a lot of lying going on by the Biden administration, a whole lot of lying.
Lying!
And so this is why it's so critical right now that they get to the bottom of just exactly what went down.
This is a really important moment.
You have to know who was running the show.
It's what we kept asking over and over and over again.
I mean, what is going on?
who is in charge.
And now I think people are freaking out because we're about to find out.
We're going to find out.
And you know what?
We may not like the answer, but Americans have to know, right?
Because the fears about the deep state, the fears about, you know, who was in charge, who was running the auto pen.
Was it just a bunch of young staffers or was somebody else, you know, doing things even for money?
That's one of the things that keeps coming up.
I think we deserve answers.
You know what?
America deserves it and we're going to get it.
And Donald Trump's not going to back away from that, guys.
He's really not.
The media, meanwhile, you know, they were asleep at the switch.
And the funny story, of course, the funny story is that this Tapper guy is out there with the book, Total Grifter.
I mean, I actually think that this gives you special insight into how nasty the media business really is.
I mean, this guy, he was out there trying to tell us we were crazy, right, for thinking that there might be anything at all wrong with one Donald, forgive me, Joe Biden.
Do you remember when he spoke with Laura Laratrump?
Lara Trump and Jake Tapper, they really got into it.
I mean, they really, really got into it because she was trying to say that the guy Biden had basically no faculties.
And she was right, but he was not going to have it.
I do have this, and I think it's worth seeing again because remember, this is the anchor that now is out with the book criticizing.
The media criticizing the Biden team, saying that this is worse than Watergate, all while he was part of the process.
I mean, I guess he's uh, he's grifty enough that he figures oh, I might as well turn a dime on this one.
Maybe i'll get a job at FOX out of it.
Hey, you never know.
Every time he comes on stage or they turn to him, i'm like Joe, can you get it out?
Let's get the words out.
Joe, you kind of feel bad for him.
How do you think it makes little kids with stutters feel when they see you make a comment like that?
First and foremost, I had no idea that Joe Biden ever suffered from a stutter.
I think what we see on stage with Joe Biden, Jake, is very clearly a cognitive decline.
That's what I'm referring to.
It makes me uncomfortable.
You are no absolute.
It's so amazing.
It's so amazing to me that.
And try and figure out an answer.
A cognitive decline.
You're trying to tell me that what I was suggesting was a stutter.
I think that you were mocking his stutter.
And I think you have absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody's cognitive decline.
Yeah, I think you were mocking his stutter.
I would think.
I'm not saying that somebody in the Trump family would be more sensitive to people who do not have medical licenses diagnosing politicians from afar.
Plenty of people have diagnosed your father from afar, and I'm sure it offends you, your father in law from afar.
I'm sure it offends you.
You don't have any standing to say.
Noticing him.
What I'm saying, Jay, is that Joe Biden is the one who's been on stage, and it's very concerning to a lot of people that this could be the leader of the free world.
That is all I'm saying.
I genuinely feel sorry for Joe Biden.
I appreciate it.
I'm sure.
What an ass.
I mean, really.
What a jerk.
And then to sit there and say, oh, it's the media's fault.
And he thinks he's the greatest thing since sliced bread because.
He finally came out after the debate and admitted the emperor had no clothes.
He knew the emperor had no clothes.
We'd all seen the exact same tape, right?
All these feeds were coming into all of us and they all went with cheap fakes.
Well, that's the other grifter, right?
KJP, who couldn't get a job in mainstream media.
She wanted a job so desperately at The View.
Gosh, she would have been almost, almost good.
Except that there's not a whole lot going on upstairs.
And I think that maybe they figured that out and she wasn't that compelling, whether she was on the podium or whether she would be on the couch with Whoopee, etc.
So she didn't get a job at the VIEW.
So she's out with her book too.
I think Tapper sees the handwriting on the wall.
You know what?
All these media organizations?
They are shutting down right, left and right, laying off all kinds of people.
We saw more layoffs at Disney this week.
We saw layoffs, of course, happening at Msnbc.
Oh, Rachel Maddow's going to one show a week.
Oh, we'll talk about that in a second because it's a disaster over there.
Total crisis.
Listen, all these places are laying off, And the only place that's doing well, other than those of us over here in the non-mainstream media land, the only place that's actually doing well is Fox and maybe Newsmax.
So maybe he's sitting there going, hey, I need to keep cashing a check-in for however many years, and I'm not talented enough to do my own show or my own podcast.
So maybe Fox will hire me.
I know Fox at one point, I'll share this with you, tried to hire him.
Apparently the big boss thought it was a mistake.
The big boss got it.
But there was a little boss there, and she's now in charge of the whole place.
She likes Jake Tapper because a lot of these media executives have no clue what makes a good anchor or good talent.
And the one I'm talking about clearly has no clue if she thinks that Jake Tapper is going to save and help her network.
Actually, she doesn't need saving right now.
They're doing okay.
Jake's the one that needs some saving.
So I suspect Jake Tapper wrote this book for a reason, not just to cash in, but to start making appearances in conservative media so as he could land a job.
At FOX NEWS PREP BEAR, watch out look, there's a method to this madness guys, I kid you not.
None of these people are all that altruistic, for sure, including one Peppermint Patty over at Msnbc.
Msnbc, you see, is now facing and we've talked about this a little bit a serious crisis, much like ABC, much like CNN, like every media organization right now, and so Comcast has figured out They're the parent company of NBC, which had MSNBC.
They're like, yeah, we don't really want you anymore.
We'll keep NBC and we'll keep, I think they're keeping Bravo, but we don't want the rest of this.
Like this is a bunch of, you know what?
I won't say the word.
Okay.
This is a bunch of, you know what?
And we are going to spin this off.
There's a tax advantage for us to do so.
And we're going to let you guys figure it out on your own.
But it's very hard for these cable companies to figure it out on their own because the source of their revenue has historically come.
from the cable providers, right?
Like the big cable companies that say, okay, well, I'll pay $2, I'll pay $6, I'll pay a dollar ahead for your programming.
And nowadays, and it's a huge source of revenue, believe me, but nowadays people don't get their programming that way anymore.
I cut all the cords in my house, every single one of them.
You know how much money I'm saving?
A lot, because we had a lot of cable boxes.
So I'm probably not the norm, but we had a lot of cable boxes.
Hey, I work in TV, right?
So a lot of cable boxes.
That was a huge savings.
And there are still ways that you can get cable news via things like YouTube.
You know, it's a premium product, etc.
And, but they don't make as much money on that.
Meanwhile, they can't go and live stream like I'm doing with you right now because that would be in violation of their cable agreement.
So it's really messy.
Elon Musk Trump Alliance00:07:34
And they're trying to figure this out and they have no hope because it's coming at a time when the ratings are so badly challenged.
They again don't understand who the heck they're going to put on the air.
So they put a little peppermint patty on who just drags them right down into the you know what.
Take a look.
Oh.
Saki's ratings, 971,000 viewers over the month.
That's down from Rachel Maddow's 1.89 million earned throughout 2025.
That's a 47% drop.
Drop.
47% drop.
So you can understand why some of the things that are getting floated in the background in media circles include whether or not to bring back Rachel to replace Jen.
I mean, they tried the other one.
What was her name?
Alex something.
I can't remember.
Clearly she didn't really resonate.
This one resonates a little bit more because people remember seeing her there on the platform.
But there's nothing, nothing compelling.
I'm telling you, at least Rachel had a crazy, wacky, wackadoo story that she would tell you about Russia, Russia, Russia.
And you'd tune in every night saying, well, what's next?
Right?
Like, where's this going?
And she'd repeat herself and she'd do the same things, but she kept taking it down that rabbit hole.
And it was an entertaining rabbit hole.
I'll fully admit it.
You know what?
I used to have the competition monitors up because my show was on at eight o'clock.
I think she was on at nine.
I'd catch part of it and I was like, damn, like this lady, like she's got something going on.
Like she'd have you on the edge of your seat.
Remember waiting for Trump's tax returns?
I got him.
And it turned out to be a nothing burger.
Anyway, that was her.
So there was a showmanship, whether you liked it or not.
And I'm someone who obviously didn't like it, but I credit her with at least entertaining the viewer.
This.
1.
One, Jensaki, she does not know how to do that.
Okay, like there's a bit of an art to it.
Like Rachel gets it.
Rachel gets, oh, I hate to use this term, but I will, okay?
They call it storytelling, right?
Like she's a storyteller.
Like you want to listen to if you're on the left and hear this crazy rabbit hole she's going to take you down.
It's interesting.
I think Tucker's also said he has a lot of respect from her in that sense.
And she has respect.
For him, I think that you know, people who are good at this understand, and while we all may have our personal beliefs and we're going to take you one way or another, we're taking you somewhere, right?
There's a goal, a destination, you're gonna know exactly what I think, and hopefully it's a little bit enjoyable along the way to hear it.
But this lady, no, no, and so as she got this gig, it was very interesting.
Rachel Maddow did an interview, we talked about it here on the show at the time, and I said, Oh, she's throwing some shade, that's like serious, serious television shade.
at Jen Psaki in which she said, oh, Psaki will be great at this.
She'll do so much better than me because you know what?
I'm just kind of living over here in my little hole and I get along really well with my team members, but I'm not part of that bigger structure, you know, where they're talking to this one and that one.
And, you know, she wheels and deals effectively is what she was saying about Jen Psaki with all those Washington, D.C. people and me.
No, I'm just kind of interested in the story and I don't like to have all those biases infiltrating my thought process.
It was actually a very clever thing to say.
Because she's totally dissing Sackie, basically saying she's a stooge, which she is, right?
What did she do?
She lied for Joe Biden.
And I suspect she's going to get her, you know what, hauled in and she's going to have to testify as well.
What did she know?
Is that why she got out of there so fast?
The other day, I showed you this yesterday.
She started freaking out because somebody on a podcast said to her, well, how much did you know and was this a cover-up?
And she said, don't use the word cover-up.
It's like you're talking about Watergate.
By the way, even Tapper.
For what it's worth, because you always have to have the caveat with Tapper of what it's worth.
He actually said he thought it was worse than Watergate, what actually went down.
I've told you it's the biggest scandal in political history.
So, Jen Psaki can't hack it.
And now they get a crisis because they're coming out and they're going public.
They just did their upfronts.
And you know what's fascinating?
We heard all about sci fi.
We heard all about Oxygen.
We heard all about what they're doing with all these networks, right?
Nothing.
Crickets on MSNBC.
They have no story to tell.
Because no one's watching.
I mean, when ratings are down 47% in your signature show.
Oh, and there's that other terrible, terrible, terrible one with Simone Sanders, I think is her name.
She's supposed to be the new Joy Reid.
You know, she's kind of a bigger, heavy-set woman.
And I think they've got a few others on that.
Have you ever seen that show?
What is her name?
Simone Sanders.
There was a clip I wanted to show you.
If I have it, I will.
Of her and some of her co-hosts walking and talking about, perhaps I don't have it, we'll bring it to you another day.
They're like walking out and they're talking about how they're going to go drinking or something while everybody else is working.
It's just really inappropriate.
Inappropriate.
We put it on the shorts feed so you can check it out there.
But I guess my only point is like these people suck, okay?
They just suck and it's game over.
And in terms of the industry itself, it's hard.
And so if you're MSNBC, you can't pay big salaries.
You're definitely not going to pay up for the morning guy.
Best Biden ever.
I mean, that's how you know it's state media, for goodness sakes.
They're trying to tell you it's the best Biden ever.
Give me a break.
And we're the crazy ones.
That same exact show actually was trying to tell you there was no inflation.
It's all in your head.
There's no inflation.
Inflation is coming down.
I'm like, guys, it was up to 9.6%.
Even if it's down to 4% the next month, it's cumulative.
Okay, that's on top of the 9.6%.
Then it's up another 4%.
You see, there is inflation.
And now there's not.
But the media lied.
And because MSNBC lied so much, they're now paying the price.
They're going to get spun off.
And here's what's going to happen.
Maybe they bring back Rachel.
I don't think she can solve it for them.
Especially not at 25 reportedly million dollars a year.
It's too much money for her.
You could close it down or you could just find lots of cheap people.
I'm sure Jen Saki is cheap.
That's why she's so Saki.
Okay.
Like she's cheap.
So maybe they save money with her.
Find a few others.
I'm sure the four o'clock gal with the, you know, the blonde hair, she's probably pretty cheap too.
So maybe it's not costing you that much.
You're going to have to find a way to get really cheap talent in the door and let them do their thing.
But cheap talent is cheap talent.
And that means you're not going to get any ratings.
Okay.
Funny times.
Top 100 over here.
Guys, we're climbing.
You know, not to rain on MSNBC's parade or anything.
I think we had 116 million views here on the Trish Regan channel last month.
So it's been pretty great.
And that's thanks to all that you guys have been doing to help make this channel such a success.
Journalists vs. Demagogues00:08:32
Another guy who actually thinks he's part of the media, but is absolutely not.
He's a Hollywood actor who has perhaps some political aspirations.
I don't know.
He suddenly keeps showing up on CNN.
He's like Jake Tapper's new best friend because he helped Jake write the book.
There's a whole passage in there about how Clooney knew, Clooney knew it was game over when Joe Biden went to an event with him and he went up and said hi to President Biden and Biden had no idea who he was.
So now if you're a big hollywood actor like george cluny and somebody doesn't know who you are clearly they must be insane oh that's mental decline if i ever saw it right so georgie cluny um figured game over we need a new guy in charge and so this is one of the big scenes in tapper's book that he talks about so tapper and cluny are like this but you see in the television world business When one person gets an interview,
you have other anchors that get really upset because they don't have the interview.
And so ever since Clooney went on with Tapper, Anderson Cooper's like, me too, me too, me too, right?
Like he's the new me too.
I got to have Clooney on my show.
So he finally got Clooney on.
And Clooney, who's trying to pretend that he's some kind of journalist, because you see he's playing one on Broadway.
Good night and good luck.
He's playing the late Walter Cronkite of CBS fame back when news was actually news.
And he's trying to say that, gosh, darn, it must be so hard to be a journalist right now because Donald Trump's in there.
I'm just going to say for the record, Georgie, you don't have any clue what you're talking about.
You don't know anything about this.
And I was a journalist for the last, however, since 2000, right?
Well, technically much earlier because I started in fifth grade, literally working at my local paper.
But we won't go back that far, all right?
I've been a journalist for a very long time and I've worked at a lot of networks and I've seen it all, all of it.
And so I'm very familiar with how hard it has been.
over the last four years since Biden came into office.
And I'm going to explain a little bit more about that.
But first, George, jumping the shark, you know, from Fonzie, jumping the shark, the happy days was over after Fonzie jumped the shark.
And so it's become an expression.
I don't think he was on happy days.
I think he was on the show Facts of Our Life, but it's some other sitcom from a similar time.
But here he is in his big Anderson Cooper interview.
Give them is something because a lot of people feel like in this room, probably who are here, feel that we are at our worst right now.
I can make an argument that we're not, I can make an argument that we've had much worse times in our history.
You know, 1968, every city in the United States was burning, there was a National Guard surrounding the White House and the Capitol, and we'd lost Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy and Ted Offensive.
But it's a frustrating time, and I think a scary time for many people.
It's a scary time to be a news person, to be in your profession.
You've been picked out.
You know, 60 Minutes has been picked out.
Most news organizations are under fire.
That usually happens with demagogues in a way.
Usually, as a way of the first places you attack are the news because that's how we inform ourselves.
Do you think Trump okay, let me be really clear.
What CBS News did, re-editing the Kamala clip, was very unethical.
I used to work there.
I realized the editors knew that she made no sense.
Total word salad, right?
So they had to clean it up to at least make it somewhat intelligible.
This is their justification in their head to the viewer.
But my situation or feeling or thought process on that is, no, you don't.
You know why you don't?
You don't because the viewer needs to understand that the woman can't actually complete a sentence or a thought.
There aren't that many thoughts going around in Kamala Harris' word salad brain.
That needs to be exposed.
So a good journalist would actually have allowed her to run on and not helped her like they did, which is why Donald Trump is suing for $20 billion more than the overall net worth of the overall worth, I should say, market cap of one Paramount.
Paramount desperate, desperate to settle.
Ooh, do they ever want to settle?
They're talking about, I think, $25 mil.
Trump wants more.
They're looking at, you know, well, Disney did 16.
He's like, nope, I want more.
And you have people dropping like flies right now over at CBS because part of the thing was they wanted an apology.
And the president of CBS News doesn't want to give an apology.
And the guy who runs 60 Minutes doesn't want to give an apology.
And I'm just waiting for, what's his name?
The guy who the CBS 60 Minutes executive producer produced, Pelly, Scott Pelly, who's very pompous about everything right now and probably talking to George Clooney too, helping to coach him for his role, right?
Good night and good luck.
He he has not actually resigned.
If he were smart, he'd put his money where his mouth was, right?
Why doesn't he resign?
Huh, I wonder.
The others did.
I'm just saying.
Here's the thing.
It was actually very hard as a journalist, Mr. Clooney, during Biden's time.
I actually experienced this full on myself.
I was right out in front of the 2020 story saying this is ridiculous.
You guys, you know, you're closing everything down.
And look, we didn't know a lot.
And in fairness, I didn't know a lot, but I'm just a market girl, right?
When I see the market tanking 2,000 points a day, I'm like, okay, this is getting out of hand.
CNN needs to knock it off with its plain story.
And like, let's just kind of.
Take a deep breath.
We're going to move forward.
You know that the Federal Reserve is going to be there.
They always are, whether you like it or not, right?
The Federal Reserve is going to be there.
Donald Trump's going to be there.
We are getting a little out over our skis.
We can't just close down the entire economy.
I mean, maybe seal the borders, but are you really going to close down your entire economy?
You should take care of the people you need to take care of.
And, you know, everybody else kind of still needs to move along with it because you need a strong economy to fight this.
Well, I, yours truly, experienced a lot of repercussions from that.
And then, you know, as one went forward, I I experienced it for sure.
Like that was, you know, you look at Facebook, for example, and you couldn't reach your full audience.
And there were all these different things that were going on.
And it was scary because you didn't know what was going to set anyone off.
And so as a journalist, no, I couldn't actually speak my mind.
As an American, I couldn't really speak my mind.
And cancel culture was on steroids.
So for him to sit there and say it's challenging now, like at least Joe Biden, forgive me, Donald Trump is like out there in front of it, calling journalists out to their face.
Terry Moran, I'm looking at you.
Terry, Terry, I mean, I picked you because I didn't know who the heck you were.
This is your big moment.
At least he's doing that to their face.
Instead, you had a whole team behind the scenes with Biden that was working to police the so-called misinformation, disinformation, cheap fakes, if you dared to show Biden looking like he was lost or Dr. Jill was having this done.
So they were doing a lot.
And in fact, his biggest regret, he told Susan Page at USA Today, when it was all said and done, his biggest regret was that he did not do more.
To police the misinformation and disinformation.
I just have to say, like, since he's been gone, it's a relief as a journalist.
It is a relief because, you know, if you do something, Donald Trump is going to broadcast it from here to attorney.
He's mad, whatever.
He's mad at ABC.
He's mad at CBS.
But what was going on behind the scenes where all of those networks felt compelled to give you a state media line all the time?
They were never truthful.
There was a reason they were never truthful.
They couldn't be truthful.
They were state media.
And anybody who dared to break out of that status quo was penalized for it.
It's another reason why I'm just proud of what we've been able to accomplish here.
And I really, really hope you subscribe to this show because you know what?
Elon Musk and Epstein Scandal00:12:01
We're climbing, what were we?
Number 36.
We were 52 the week before.
We're 36 now.
So guys, help me get there, right?
Subscribe, all that good stuff.
I got to get to the Elon story.
This is, this is, this is something I'm not happy about.
You know it, right?
Like mom and dad fighting away.
I will say this.
Let me take a look at shares of Tesla.
We've got to market the tire.
So I like the sound of that right now.
76 Research, my financial research company.
If you guys haven't subscribed to it, use code word dollar, courtesy of me.
And make sure you sign up.
It's really phenomenal report with a ton of investing ideas.
And I like seeing this.
Tesla's recovering 5.5% shares of Tesla up.
right now as we look to close out the week here actually in positive territory with Dow up 1%, SP up 1%, and the Nasdaq up almost 1.5%.
So I will say this.
One of the things people think may actually go down, and, you know, look, I hope it doesn't come to this.
I hope these guys can fix it.
They can work it out, right?
I'm encouraged.
Bill Ackman, hedge fund guy, brilliant guy who's been out in quite force for MAGA on Twitter.
And he doesn't need to do this, right?
Like the incoming he has taken, I've known him for a lot of years, is sort of surreal.
But he's been out there as somebody who's really fighting the good fight.
And he put a tweet out yesterday where he said, we are stronger together.
We are stronger with Donald Trump and Elon Musk together.
And, you know, he's so right.
He's so right.
I'm like, you keep this up, Bill.
You're going to have to take over from Marco Rubio, right?
I think you might get peace in the Middle East because.
This is important.
Elon Musk responded to that.
It's like he had a chance to cool off and calm down.
And he responded to that with a, you're right, Bill.
So he knows we are all stronger in this together for sure, for sure, for sure.
But this has been brewing.
You see, you know, Donald Trump took the guy that was running NASA and it was like Elon's guy and he took him and he said he's not going to run it anymore.
So that kind of ticked him off in the beginning.
This maybe happened about a week ago.
And then there were just kind of a few other things.
Obviously, the bill.
Elon really wanted a lot of cuts in spending.
And so he's frustrated, for example, with the salt thing, among other things.
And so, you know, Elon, he's a CEO like Trump is.
And he's not political.
Like he's actually really, really, really, really not political.
He's like, I have a goal.
This is my goal.
This is what I want done.
And Trump is like, I have a goal, but I'm political, right?
Like there's two different kinds of people, but they both have goals and they both want to get something done.
Donald Trump wants the deal to get done.
He wants the big, beautiful bill.
He kind of doesn't, you know, he's not going to get bogged down in the minutia.
And Elon is like, listen, we can't afford this.
We have to get bogged down in the minutia.
So there's all this going on in the background.
And then when Elon criticized the bill, that's when things started to kind of unwind.
And so for about 24 hours, Donald Trump held it together beautifully.
He did a great job.
And then, and then, well, somebody asked about it.
This is why, this is why Biden didn't do all these press things, right?
You know, and Trump just can't help himself.
You know, he was annoyed.
And I get it.
He's annoyed.
He's like, what happened to Elon?
Elon was my friend.
And now all of a sudden, Elon's knocking me every chance he can get on my big, beautiful bill.
Like, what is going on?
And this is what he said to the media.
And the media then ran with that.
And Elon saw it.
Elon saw it.
And then, you know, it was clear this was going.
To not end well.
I mean, Elon went nuclear, like totally nuclear, to the point where now Donald Trump might actually be looking at suing him.
Hey, CBS!
CBS is nothing.
He's going after the world's richest man, possibly.
Anyway, here are his comments that set Elon off.
Elon and I had a great relationship.
I don't know if we went well anymore.
I was surprised because you were here.
Everybody in this room practically was here as we had.
A wonderful send off.
He said wonderful things about me.
You couldn't have nicer said the best thing.
He's worn the hat.
Trump was right about everything.
And I am right about the great, big, beautiful bill.
We call it a great, big, beautiful bill because that's what it is.
And again, biggest tax cuts in history, biggest economic development moves anywhere.
We've never done anything like it.
Never done anything like it, but it's not enough for Elon.
Okay, so not enough for Elon.
Elon's pretty angry and so angry that he actually started tweeting some really, really bad stuff.
Trying to say that the reason you're not going to see anything on the Epstein files is because Donald Trump is somehow in them.
What's interesting is that Donald Trump has not responded to that.
Which has some people thinking he's keeping his powder dry because he's like, right?
Like he is the master of these libel suits.
So he's like, you're libeling me.
You're saying something extremely defamatory.
Now, I get like it's hard.
The bar is really high when it comes to defaming a public figure, even the president.
But that's a pretty big, you know, thing to say.
And if they actually wind up in a lawsuit, gosh, we're going to have some discovery, aren't we guys?
Well, that'll be interesting.
What did Elon know?
How did he know it?
You know, is it true?
Is it not true?
all of that.
I will point to this.
Epstein's lawyer actually saying there's no way in H-E-L-L that's true.
No way.
This is David Jones saying, I was hired to lead Jeffrey Epstein's defense as his criminal lawyer nine days before he died.
He sought my advice for months before that.
I can say authoritatively, unequivocally, and definitely that he had no information to hurt President Trump.
I specifically asked him.
Huh.
So.
Does that mean that Elon's just spouting off like getting all emotional?
He's kind of emotional.
He said he wasn't going to continue with his NASA spacecraft.
He's going to, what are you going to leave the NASA astronauts like stranded in space?
That's what he started to say because, you know, Trump was a little emotional and Trump said, well, we're going to cut off all that spending, et cetera.
So Elon responded saying, yeah, you want to do that?
Well, guess what?
We'll just completely dismantle our space program.
Yeah.
Well, He kind of walked that back.
Let me show you.
Here's the article that came out yesterday afternoon from Bloomberg where he did walk that back, which is good, right?
You don't want to be dismantling the entire space program for the United States of America because you're having a little spat.
So that was one sort of, I think, olive branch that was put forward.
The other olive branch would be what I told you about the Bill Ackman tweet.
That was kind of a big deal, too.
I actually sent this out to some friends and I said, Peace is coming.
Let's see.
Here is Bill Ackman saying, I support Donald Trump and Elon Musk, and they should make.
Peace for the benefit of our great country.
We are much stronger together than we are apart.
And Elon wrote, you're not wrong, okay.
So between this, between him softening on Spacex Dragon I, you know, I see an opportunity here.
Meanwhile you got, you got Mike Johnson who like, is really stepping up to the plate.
He says he's going to fix it all.
Mike Johnson is on the case.
He said he was calling Elon and he was going to fix all this and everything was going to be okay.
So, Mike Johnson, you do your thing.
I hope you can get there.
And, you know, I think it's all going to blow over.
In terms of the lawsuit, you know, what Elon said was pretty bad.
You know, he said that you're not going to see these Epstein tapes because Trump is in them.
I mean, that was a heck of an allegation to make.
A heck of a thing to say.
And I would just say, like, logically speaking, if he was, you don't think the Democrats would have used that?
I mean, Letitia must be salivating.
Letitia's like, oh my gosh, we got to go find that.
The FBI was in New York.
Right, the FBI would have been able to handle all of it, but I do think he just kind of had a moment and he lost it.
There was a funny funny, funny meme that went out um, where you know well, some people are saying hey, maybe this was all orchestrated right, just orchestrated because his business was suffering so bad.
And so now finally, all those people that could not drive their Tesla for fear that they were going to get attacked, now they get a shot at driving it again.
Let me see if I can find this one for you, because this was terrific.
Some meme that just went out or it was, you know, people were having fun.
Oh, well, here's a great one.
Did you see this?
Mark Zuckerberg.
This is Autism Capital putting out.
Your name is Elon now, right?
We're going to have to expand our circle of friends in light of everything.
And then there was this one, which I loved.
Here we go, guys.
Bought it before Elon went crazy.
See this.
I'm gonna leave this up here so you can see.
So you know, people were putting like stickers over their Tesla thing and yeah they, they.
This is now.
Donald Trumpson bought it before Elon went crazy.
He did get a little out there.
I mean, the tweets were wild.
We were live on the air, we were watching the stock tank right in real time and uh, Tall's writing, you know what boys will be boys.
It's funny.
Um, some of you think maybe it's all deliberate, maybe this was just a way for him to win back customers because you know he'd alienated half the country.
I I think, when it's all said and done, what you'll see is that some people had some very strong emotions.
They were running very high and it'll all be okay in the end.
But, you know, maybe Trump will keep his powder dry.
Maybe he'll decide to sue.
I don't know.
I think this is impressive what the Epstein lawyer said, though, that there's no there there.
So good luck with that one.
Reminder, we've got markets that are higher right now.
I do believe that there's a lot of Trump optimism out there.
I encourage you to go look at 76 Research, maybe over the weekend.

I got criticized for that.
Now they don't criticize me anymore.
