Trish Regan opens from the Greek islands to dissect New York Governor Kathy Hochul's alleged hypocrisy for bragging about deploying the National Guard in NYC while accusing Donald Trump of dictatorship. The host claims Hochul delays Letitia James's $500 million fraud case against Trump by appointing Judge Diane Renwick, extending appeals over 300 days, and alleges she threatened Trump regarding congestion pricing. While discussing Melania Trump's $1 billion lawsuit against Hunter Biden and D.C.'s federalization push, the segment concludes that despite Democratic claims of safety, residents feel endangered by rising crime, suggesting a deepening political fracture over law enforcement authority.

Democrats Double Standard00:06:50
And we're live.
I'm still here.
I'm still here somewhere in the Greek islands.
Good to have you guys with me.
This is the Trish Regan Show.
And we got a lot going on today, a whole lot going on because, for starters, for starters, Kathy Holkle has been completely humiliated.
You know, this is a long time coming, shall we say, with poor Kathy, the governor of New York.
She's out there trying to say that Donald Trump is somehow a dictator for doing exactly what she did in New York City.
I have all the details and I got the tape.
Plus, it's being reported that she's actually holding up the case.
In the appellate court, you know, Letitia James's case that's about to be thrown out any day, any second.
Well, there's a reason perhaps it's not getting thrown out, and it's believed that that may have something to do with good old Kathy.
On top of that, you got Democrats getting totally trumped on this DC issue.
Even MSNBC's admitting it's quite amazing.
An appeals court ruling just came out.
Those NGOs up, billions of dollars, up in smoke, gone, and they can't do a darn thing about it.
That has been decided by the appellate court in Donald Trump's favor.
Meanwhile, Sharon Stone, Is suddenly sounding, I don't know, MAGA?
Wait until you hear what she has to say about why she's been so successful.
Good old American roots have something to do with it.
What do you know?
Oh, and, and, and Melania Trump's not messing around.
Not one single bit.
Melania is taking Hunter Biden to task for a billion dollars, for a billion dollars, because he said some stuff he shouldn't have said.
I'll tell you, everybody else has listened up.
James Carville listened up.
Daily Beast listened up.
It might be time for Hunter to listen up, unless, of course, He wants to fork over some of that money from Ukraine, alleged money from Ukraine, I should say.
Welcome to the program.
Good to have you guys here.
Kathy Holkle, Kathy Holkle, the governor of New York, very much getting exposed here.
This is sort of embarrassing for her.
It should be humiliating for her.
But you know what?
This is, it's like a total double standard by which the Democrats live.
For some reason, Donald Trump cracking down on DC, trying to get rid of crime, sending in the National Guard, that is seen as a dictatorship, right?
But when they do it, Oh, it's to be praised on none other than the view, of course.
Watch.
My job is to keep people safe.
I have to do any way I can.
I'm going to keep New Yorkers safe.
And I'll tell you who does show appreciation for the people out there on the streets.
I've been walking the streets.
If I walk into business, people are just saying, Thank you for taking such strong action.
I needed to do something dramatic and quickly to send a message that you will not get away with committing crimes in our subways.
Hmm.
You heard that, right?
National Guard went in to make sure the subways were safe in none other than New York City.
The state that she is governor of?
I mean, okay.
You know, everybody was like, good, you know what?
Because we need to clean up New York City.
Somebody's going to do something about it.
Clearly, Biden wasn't willing to do anything about it, but Kathy Holkle decided to take his National Guard, send it in.
That is the federalization, if you would, right, of New York.
But, but, but, but, when Donald Trump tries to send the National Guard to California, suddenly that's no go territory.
When he tries to send it to DC, which frankly, legally speaking, he has the ability to do in the case of emergency, The power or chain of command defers to one Donald Trump, the president of the United States.
Somehow that's not allowed.
He's not allowed to fight crime.
Are you kidding me?
But Kathy Hochul is?
The Democrats are afraid to do anything because they don't want to be criticized.
But fighting crime is a good thing.
We have to explain.
We're going to fight crime.
That's a good thing.
Already they're saying he's a dictator.
The place is going to hell and we've got to stop it.
So instead of saying he's a dictator, they should say we're going to join him and make Washington safe.
But he's a dictator.
And then they end up getting mugged, but the stats are very bad.
But we're going to, I think we'll actually get Democrat support.
I really believe they can't do this one, too.
He thinks he's going to get Democrat support at some point because, logically speaking, and he's a logical person, a logical man, how could anyone look at these homicide rates and say, like, that's okay?
There's just no way that you're going to say, okay, 41.
Per 100,000 in DC versus say, oh, I don't know, what is Nairobi?
Five per 100,000?
That somehow that's okay for Washington, DC?
It's not okay.
And anyone who tries to justify it, frankly, is going to look like a moron and they lose that side of the political story.
And yet, Kathy's out there fighting like, you know, it's her last day because she's a street fighter from Buffalo.
Uh huh.
This is what she said.
He's not allowed to do this.
I'm sorry.
He's trying to make the place safe, for goodness sakes, lady.
You are so freaking wrong.
Well, Michael, just on the first premise of your question, I've never been a hand wringer on the sidelines.
I'm a street fighter from Buffalo.
And my blood is boiling over this.
And so is the other governors, the other Democratic governors.
We've talked about this.
And history will judge us how we respond in this moment.
Because if we allow the Republicans to get away with what they're attempting to do, this legal insurrection of our U.S. Capitol, then we'll have a generation of redistricted, gerrymandered seats that are skewed against Democrats.
And when will we ever get the balance of power, at least in Washington?
I served in Congress when.
Okay, so she gets into gerrymandering too, but he's not allowed, ladies and gentlemen, to crack down, even though she could do that.
You tell me how any of this makes sense.
Meanwhile, this is the same woman who, back, I think this is 2022 or 2023, was saying, Come one, come all.
Hey, we got hotels for you.
We got free food vouchers for you.
Come one, come all, right?
Because it's going to help with our own congressional redistricting, pile them all into New York.
We got the Roosevelt Hotel wide open for you.
And we've even got maybe some jobs.
Take a peek.
We will embrace them.
We'll hire them.
We'll give them that shot at the American dream.
18,000 jobs are already available, waiting for people who signed up in the portal.
So that's incredible.
That can help solve our problems, at least be a start toward reducing the number of people who need shelter in our city.
Hmm, shelter in your city.
Yeah, it's going to reduce it.
I don't think so.
I think you actually needed to up it quite considerably because the more you brought in, the more that came, right?
And we don't have to get into that issue right now.
I think we're going to stay front and center on this idea that they are such total hypocrites.
And she should be humiliated.
She is humiliated in my book over this one.
Clear Lies Exposed00:15:35
But these people, Just don't see it this way.
I mean, that's what's so crazy about it.
You know, I've played so many sound bites for you from The View and from MSNBC, and you know, they sit there and they say, like, we're the crazy ones because somehow it's all supposed to go their way.
It's their way or the highway.
I'll tell you, conservatives are far more empathetic.
They are far more willing to listen to all sides.
And yet, for four years, longer even, because let's face it, even when Donald Trump was in there first time around, he was on defense the entire time because they were the ones on offense.
Now it's all changed.
And that's for the best because you know what?
You can't live with statistics like this.
You just can't.
Meanwhile, new information is coming out about Kathy Holkle and whether or not she has had a hand in not allowing that appeal to go through vis a vis Letitia James and Donald Trump.
So you'll recall, of course, he was fined for some nearly $500 million.
That's the judgment against him, thanks to Judge Arthur and Gorin.
I don't know, I can never say his name.
Angora.
It reminds me of Remember Bewitched.
Angora was the mother in law.
Anyway, it was pretty darn clear how the justices were feeling.
I played a whole bunch of sound bites from the actual courtroom for you, and it was very evident.
Even the New York Times, even MSNBC all admitted that the judges were going to vote against Letitia in favor of Donald Trump because, well, here, Judith Vail, who was arguing Letitia's case before the appellate court for her, they tend to get smarter attorneys at the appellate level.
She couldn't even get her first few words out before they shut her down, remember?
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.
Yes.
And where, 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.
Right?
And so that's why MSNBC came out and said Letitia James' massive Trump civil fraud victory in question after appellate argument.
It was clear.
New York Times was saying the same thing.
Everybody was saying the same thing.
Well, now what they're saying, guys, is that White House sources back in April are claiming that Hochul told Trump, quote unquote, I control the judges.
Imagine that.
Oh, she appointed the woman who's in charge, the woman who's in charge of the whole appellate court there.
You see next to her in this picture if you're watching on YouTube Live.
Anyway, she said, I control the judges.
This is allegedly something that she said to him in a February meeting at the Oval Office.
Now, Hochel's denying this, but the White House is sticking by the story.
They're saying that she said she controls the judges, and that was kind of a threat.
She was trying to make it clear to him that he needed to stay out of the congestion pricing argument that he was making against her.
In New York.
And if he continued to do that, that she was going to continue to make it fairly clear he was going to owe somehow $500 million.
And they are saying that this is a form of extortion, that she plays dirty, dirty politics.
Well, she's the one who told us, right?
She's the street fighter from Buffalo.
Hey, if you look at this story right here, again, I'm citing the New York Post who did the initial reporting on this.
This is the woman who is presiding over the court.
She was put there by one, Kathy Holkle.
Her name is Diane.
Diane Renwick and what's being alleged is a little too tight with Kathy, and that thus Kathy has her on speed dial and is controlling effectively what happens on this case.
It is taking an enormously long period of time.
We've talked about it before.
I mean, typically you would get a decision in what, 30 days?
And now it's taking like over 300 days.
So what is going on?
I mean, why wouldn't they?
Again, if you go back and you listen to the sound, and I played the entire hearing basically for you, and every time you heard the justices, they were Taylor and Tearing Letitia James's attorney, Judith Hale, arguing for the state, they were tearing her apart.
So it didn't look like they had one single leg to stand on.
And now here we are.
You know, a long case might take 140 days.
Normally it's like 30 days, and we're going past 300 days.
So one source told the New York Post, quote, the presiding justice, that would be, I guess, the Diane woman that they're talking about right here, put in place by one Kathy Hochul, the presiding justice is a political animal.
I mean, she just is.
And so I wouldn't be surprised if there was some political angle to it.
Well, I wouldn't be surprised either now, would you?
Would you?
No, of course not, because these are political people.
The Street Fighter, right?
From Buffalo.
I mean, it was crazy what went down.
And to talk about $500 million with this guy, clearly he had, shall we say, a political vendetta, a massive political vendetta.
Big, big story that we're following today.
Did you guys see this on Melania Trump?
Melania Trump means business.
Melania Trump isn't fooling around.
And Melania Trump.
Has made it clear that you're not going to trash her reputation for your own political gain or somebody else's humor.
So apparently, Biden's son, Hunter, went on to some podcast and said a whole bunch of stuff and talked a whole bunch of smack.
And she wasn't having it, not one bit.
And so she just issued a letter saying, I'm going to sue you, buddy, for a billion dollars.
Now, Hunter doesn't really have a billion dollars, shall we say.
So I would say that she has the ability to make his life a living, H E double L.
He was asked about this.
Back on the same program where he made these wacko allegations.
And I want you to hear his response.
Let's take a look at it together.
Ladies and gentlemen, the day of presidential litigation has arrived.
It's lawsuit time.
In my hand is a legal demand letter addressed to Mr. Hunter Biden from the First Lady of the United States, demanding a retraction of Channel 5's video called Hunter Biden Returns, in which Mr. Biden here makes some speculative comments about the relationship between Jeffrey Epstein, Melania Trump, And Donald Trump.
I've got a billion dollar document in my hands because Mrs. Trump is seeking $1 billion in damages if we don't take the video down and if Hunter here doesn't issue a formal apology to Mrs. Trump.
So now we're here maybe to give you the platform to apologize to the first lady for your statements that you made about her possible connection to Jeffrey Epstein.
Uh, that's not going to happen.
Oh, wow.
Lovely.
You know, he's got such a gigantic vocabulary that he has to resort to that.
I think that same interview had like a whole bunch of those bombs all over the place, right?
He just F bomb, F bomb, F bomb.
Again, not a vast vocabulary on the likes of Hunter Biden.
Not a vast, you know, so we say, set of intelligence on that man's head.
But, you know, part of his stupidity is that he's done stupid things.
With his dad, I believe along the way.
I mean, Ukraine stuff certainly sounds super, super sketchy, right?
We've been through all that.
And now he's like doubling down on this here, which is a little bit odd.
The allegations that he's making are really pretty wacky, and they're based on some reporter that traffics in hearsay.
And she's out for, as she should be.
You know what?
There's no reason any of this should be happening.
She wound up going after the Daily Beast.
And so they took the story down.
Editors know after the story was published, the Beast received a letter from First Lady Melania Trump's attorney challenging the headline and framing of the article.
After reviewing the matter, the Beast has taken down the article and apologizes for any confusion or misunderstanding.
In other words, if you get fake news, it's fake news, and you can't use that to try and go after her, even though she is the First Lady.
So they would say, oh, she's a public person, et cetera.
And she's like, no, it doesn't matter.
And she's winning this, by the way.
She's winning this because you can't just deliberately publish lies on people, and especially the kind of lies that they're trying to get into.
Anyway, Carvel as well wound up.
Here we go.
Taking down the podcast episode.
If you see, he writes an apology as well.
In last week's podcast episode, we spoke with Judge Legum after the episode, received a letter from Malayan Trump's lawyer.
He took issue with the title of one of our YouTube videos from that episode and a couple of comments I made about the first lady.
A look at what they complained about, and we took down the video and we edited out those comments from the episode.
I also take back these statements and apologize.
Good, buddy.
You know what?
I like this.
I like that a woman is standing up for herself to these bozos that want to traffic in smut, frankly, and misinformation and, you know, hurt someone's reputation, frankly, as a wife and mother in the meantime.
So, you know, she's threatening to sue Hunter.
Good for a billion, a billion he doesn't have, but she'll make his life hell because he won't have the money to deal with the legal bills, no matter how many paintings he tries to sell.
She forced the Daily Beast to retract its lies.
And she got the Democratic op there, James Carville, to apologize and take down the episode.
Because again, you just can't go out on a limb and say things about people that are not right.
And I think it's important, regardless of whether you're a public person, a private person, however you want to think about this, it's not fair.
It's not fair to her, to her family, to do that all just for your own political gains.
So she means business, and these guys are going to have to listen, including Hunter Biden, or fork over some of that money if he still has any left, because he apparently has spent it on some interesting things.
And by the way, that's not me speculating, right?
They have all that information.
That's all wide out in the open.
I just try and keep it clean for the kids, shall we say.
Anyway, more going on.
I want to get to what's happening again in DC right now because.
This is effectively a kind of political suicide, if you would, for the Democrats.
They have gotten completely trumped, completely trumped on this one.
Again, these crime statistics, they're not the kind of statistics that you can even try and explain.
They're just really, really bad.
And when you try and explain it, you're immediately on your heels.
So some Democrats are trying to change it into, oh, this is somehow a race thing.
Of course, right?
This is Representative Barbara Lee.
Listen to her.
But let me just say also, it's not lost on anyone that the cities that he is calling out.
First of all, have large numbers of black and brown people.
Secondly, the crime rate is going down in all of these cities.
Thirdly, they're all headed by black mayors.
Now, what does that say?
What does that picture paint?
So we all know who he is.
Also, let me just say here in Oakland, for example, we have a.
Oakland's another one.
Okay.
Oakland's another one that's really, really bad.
I'm sorry.
This isn't about, you know, like statistics don't lie.
Well, maybe sometimes they do.
Maybe sometimes these statistics are actually looking even better than they really are.
That's what's come out in the last couple of days because people are like, gosh, you know, you tell us that the murder rate is less, but it really feels pretty scary here because we live here.
And these reporters that live there, they're having a hard time selling these lies.
Listen to the woman on MSNBC this morning from USA Today.
Who's a political columnist for USA Today?
I used to be an economic columnist over there.
She was the political one.
She's typically kind of down the middle, but I'll qualify that by saying she's always on MSNBC, so you know what that means.
Here she is, and she's like, look, this is an issue that they really can't defend themselves on.
No way.
So, Susan Page, you've lived in DC for a very long time.
I know people suggest sometimes I overstate.
The insecurity that D.C. residents have felt over the past 30, 40 years.
It's far different than Manhattan.
And now let me just say it again.
In Manhattan, most people there feel very comfortable at night walking 30, 40, 50 blocks.
That's never really been the case in Washington.
That's not to say it's a hellscape, but certainly I would guess there are some Washington residents, and I've talked to some Democrats and members of the press, who are taking a wait and see approach.
Done peacefully, if it's done without it more in partnership with the D.C. police, they'll be fine.
If not, of course, they'll be fighting that bill as it goes through Congress.
What have you heard?
You know, I think this is one more example of President Trump's skill at taking issue in which there is broad public agreement, like illegal immigration ought to be stopped at the southern border, or the sentiment that men should not participate in women's sports, and now.
Standing against crime.
There are very few politicians who want to stand up for crime.
So that's the kind Oh, are we?
I'm going to make the capital city safe.
Everybody's for that.
And if Democrats say, well, look, it's on a 30 year low last year, it's declined even more this year.
This is not the national emergency it betrays it as being.
It seems as though they are not taking a tough stance on crime.
So I think this has been very tricky for Democrats.
And as one result, you see some Democrats, including the leadership of the city, protesting that this federalized takeover of law enforcement.
In Washington, it is a bad thing and inappropriate and unnecessary.
A lot of Democrats are just going to wait and see because they're concerned about getting kind of caught in a political trap that the president has set for them.
I mean, did you hear her?
She's like, there are not a lot of politicians that want to say, you know, like it's okay to be soft on crime, but leave it to the Dems.
Apparently, they want to.
So, this is such a good issue actually for him because he gets to get out there and do what he wants while simultaneously putting the Democrats totally.
A thousand percent on their heels, something that even Chris Matthew noticed in today's.
I think I talked about this with you guys yesterday, but we haven't seen the clip yet.
And I want to share this with you because you know, he's super duper liberal, um, kind of like old school dem, old school blue.
Mayor Muriel Strength Move00:09:01
And he's just being a realist there, saying, You know, look, I like DC, I come in in the morning, it's quite beautiful, but it's dangerous, right?
And you can't get on the side of the issue where you're sitting there saying, No, it's really not dangerous, it's not you know, this is a This is a race thing or whatever thing, because people know what it's like to live there, for goodness sakes, including the media.
So good luck hiding this one.
Let's watch Chris.
Now, in terms of D.C., I've chosen to live my life here.
I love D.C., I think it's a beautiful city.
When I go to work, when I do morning joke, coming in early in the morning, I got to tell you, it's a beautiful city.
Jefferson Memorial, the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial.
You come up to Washington Mall, it's beautiful.
Now, there are some crimes that are evident and are iconic.
If you come into this city, you're going to see pup tents.
In DuPont Circle.
Now they don't commit crimes necessarily, but they're there.
Signs of homelessness was just not being treated.
You see graffiti, which drives me crazy because it's right on the most beautiful places, the bridges and all covered in graffiti and they have to paint it over to cover it up.
They don't really get rid of it.
It's still there.
And so I think that the iconic, the look of a suburbanite, I think this is about the suburbs and the rural areas against the big cities.
I think Trump knows that people are afraid to go into big cities, to go to a Phillies game.
They talk about it.
They don't want to go downtown.
They don't want to.
They don't trust the situation.
So politically, I think this strengthens his red power in the rural parts of Pennsylvania and Scranton and Bethlehem and Allentown.
Those people are going to look at this headline and say, it's about time somebody's doing something about D.C. and Philly with Krasner as our D.A. You need a tougher D.A. You just do to put people in jail.
But the crime is inevitably committed by working people.
And in D.C., working people are black, African-American.
They're the ones getting hit by crime, not the suburbanites and not the.
Okay, so that makes sense.
I think he misspoke there when he said the crime is getting committed by.
No, he means it's committed on.
The people that are feeling the results of this, they happen to be black Americans.
And this is why they're coming out and saying, thank goodness somebody's doing something about it, finally.
The tourists and not the people that just look at the city.
Trump looks at the city visually like a real estate agent.
He wants to beatify the city like he's doing at the White House with that ridiculous ballroom he's putting in and getting rid of the.
Rose Garden.
That's trunk work, but I think it shows strength.
I agree with you.
I think this is a strength move against the big cities who are in a difficult situation on crime.
And the murder rate, you can't keep saying violent crime is down, but the murder rate's up.
To the average person, the murder up's about life and death.
You don't brag about a rising murder rate.
And the Democrats are, I agree with you, Mika, they're falling into the trap of defending what's indefensible.
It's a trap.
Yes, it's a trap.
Defending what's indefensible.
It's a trap.
Okay, call it whatever you want.
I'm going to just say it's smart politics, and simultaneously, you're doing something to help.
People in the interim, so isn't that kind of a good thing?
Okay, it's a trap, it's a trap because the democrats are too freaking stupid, like, they actually think that this is something that you're supposed to resist just because it's trump.
I'm sorry, like, making a city safe is not exactly something that you need to be resisting.
We talked about the mayor of DC and how she seemed on board as recently as this past weekend because she said, Oh, you know, like, it's one thing to talk about that on the campaign trail, it's another thing in real life, you have to worry about governing and you do have to make sure people are safe.
And so, she was.
Welcoming the help.
Well, now she's singing kind of a different tune.
Let's listen to Mayor Muriel of DC.
It is a step in fascism when the federal government can big foot sovereign states.
That's not us.
We should be.
We should be the 51st state.
I think that is what he is trying to make it normal, where citizens say the federal government should overtake local policing.
Hmm.
But People don't always feel the statistics.
Okay, we'll go to that other one in a second.
Hmm.
Okay, so now she doesn't like that the federal government is coming in.
By the way, they legally are allowed to do so.
She hasn't been able to keep the place safe.
You can tell me the murder rate's down.
I don't think anybody buys it, including the woman I'm going to show you, the CNN reporter, who's pretty, pretty lefty.
Okay, and she's challenging Raskin right here.
Take a peek.
But people don't always feel the statistics, right?
Do you, as someone who works in the District of Columbia, you drive through it all the time, You know a lot of people who live here all the time.
Do you feel like crime is down in DC compared to other more recent years?
Well, definitely when you compare it to other periods in the history of Washington, DC, when there was very serious spikes in crime and it felt really dangerous to go out.
But look, I agree, you can't feel safe enough, especially these days.
The question is who do you trust to promote your security and public safety?
Is it the mayor and the council and the people who actually report?
To people who live there?
Or do you trust Donald Trump to do that?
Because, you know, his attention span is like, you know, 32 seconds, and then he's going to be off to talking about the tariffs, or he's going to be off and talking about something in Los Angeles or whatever.
I mean, you've got to trust the local officials to do this.
And, you know, there's something that's very fraudulent about what's taking place.
I'm just saying, you moron.
Like, people have trusted the local politicians for too long.
The local politicians, like, you know, Mayor Muriel.
Yeah, she can't get anything done.
Okay, she was even asked.
Do you guys see this one?
She was asked about basically, you know, the chain of command, and she didn't know what they were talking about recently.
It's like, oh my goodness gracious.
Not too much going on upstairs with Mayor Muriel.
Let me see if I have this one for you because I just looked at that and I thought, wow, she is something else, shall we say.
I will say this the everyday person is thrilled that this is all happening.
Absolutely, positively thrilled.
I mean, listen to this guy right here.
You're gonna see this guy.
I came all the way down Pennsylvania Avenue this morning, so peaceful.
Yeah, I don't smell no weed.
Yeah, I don't see no homeless people.
I mean, I came all the way through the southeast Side all the way down here.
You see, now i'm at the White House.
Jump man, it's quiet.
Yeah, it's a shame that it takes somebody to have to sit in your classroom in order for you to be in order.
Yeah, because that's what it feel like.
Yeah, you gotta be babysitter to do your job.
Yeah, Stuff been out of control for years.
It has been out of control for years.
That is changing.
It's from my shorts feed earlier.
But I did want to show you, you know, look, he's really happy.
Fox talked to somebody that was really happy.
I mean, generally, the sense is from the people on the street, they want it cleaned up some way, somehow, right?
And Muriel, she just can't get it done.
She doesn't even know what the chain of command is.
Take a peek.
I'm sorry.
The D.C. mayor doesn't know this?
That's what the chain of command is now?
What does that mean?
You know, chain of command?
Like, who's in charge?
Oh, it's Trump.
I mean, yeah, so he's in charge and she's having to deal with it, and they got some issues going on.
Like, you know, the former DEI chief for the police in DC is now head of the police.
Yeah, imagine that.
Like, all the qualifications in the world.
We talked about that yesterday.
You can look at yesterday's show, but she actually was a park ranger and she trained dogs and she trained people to drive and she was a foster care worker, and somehow now.
She made it all the way up.
First DEI chief and now head of the police in Washington, D.C.
So I'm just saying, you know what, D.C., you got a problem.
This doesn't have anything to do with race and everything to do with statistics.
And he said, you know what, D.C. first.
We'll see.
Maybe New York is next, which is why Kathy Hochul is flipping out like she's flipping out.
Some more good news for the Trump administration.
Today, we did get word that all these NGOs all over the globe were suing because they wanted to make sure that they had their money.
And guess what?
The appellate court made the decision in a two to one vote that those foreign aid groups cannot actually sue to get their funds, that the president has the right to freeze those funds, and that they cannot challenge that decision.
So that's kind of a big win again for him.
Conservative Guest Grounding00:04:54
I think people are coming to this reality, if you would, that he means business.
He's got a team around him that mean business.
I mean, think about what Melania just did to Hunter Biden, think about what they're doing.
In DC proper right now.
Think about the National Guard getting sent to California.
Think about him sealing the border shut.
I mean, all of these things happening one after another, a succession of things.
And so he's having win after win after win after win because this is kind of just a different moment in time.
And people in his department, right now in the administration, are ready for it.
Project 2025.
I mean, you know, maybe that was no joke.
And you had Stephen Miller's law group as well, working very hard behind the scenes for the last four years to figure out what everybody's legal rights really were because it had gotten too far, too far, right?
One way.
So that's what happens.
The pendulum swings back to the center, and we're in the process of that now.
So much so that, oh gosh, actresses can actually say that, you know, maybe they had some good values instilled in them with their middle class upbringings.
Imagine that.
I can't imagine seeing Sharon Stone say anything like this.
During the Biden years, right?
Like, this would not be allowed.
She would not have said this.
And I don't know if she's just playing the part of an actress and she figures this is which way the wind blows, or Seth Myers, who had her on his program, is just completely desperate because he sees everybody getting fired.
And he's like, okay, okay, maybe I gotta sing some kind of different tune.
Can somebody find me a conservative guest or somebody who's gonna act like a conservative guest?
Sharon Stone went on his show and she talked about motherhood and raising three boys and.
How she could not have done this, could not have done this if she didn't have her solid middle class upbringing.
That was somehow the key to her success.
So great.
Like I'm happy for her that she's saying that.
I'm disappointed that she couldn't have said this like ages ago, right?
But apparently it wasn't in vogue back then.
I do also sort of question whether this is a little bit of an actress trying to get on the good side of things, a little bit of Seth Meyers trying to.
Find a new home for himself, given that, you know, he has looked at what happened to Stephen Colbert.
He's looked at what just happened to Howard Stern or is about to happen to Howard Stern.
Let's take a quick listen to Sharon Stone speaking here with Seth Myers.
Because I started out with wholesome middle American values.
And now we're in a place where these values are being considered.
Incidental, they aren't.
I wouldn't have survived, I wouldn't be a sober, healthy, working mom who was able to take three adopted kids, which is just different, let's just say, and do it by myself with the help of wonderful nannies if I didn't come from grounded moral values.
Yeah.
Well, you know what?
No one can really do much without having some grounding in this world.
Thank you very much.
You can get all philosophical all you want, but you know what?
Kind of the basic beliefs and things like a nuclear family or God, like these are kind of grounding things, right?
For a human being, especially one out there in Hollywood.
But, you know, she's saying this and I'm like, wow, that's really something coming from the likes, oopsie daisy, of Sharon Stone.
Here we go.
Stone is from Meadville.
Pennsylvania, a town she is described as having no spotlights and a zipper factory.
This is according to People magazine.
However, that small town living set her on a path to stardom, quote, with wholesome middle class, middle American values.
Quote, I wouldn't have survived without those values.
I wouldn't be a sober, healthy, working mom who was able to take three adopted kids, which is just different, just different, as she said.
Let's just say and do it by myself without the help of wonderful nannies if I didn't come from a grounded moral background.
Okay.
Okay.
This is like the second actor from Hollywood to come out recently and put one of these liberal, nutty show hosts in their place.
I do believe Arnold Schwarzenegger kind of said something similar, at least sort of MAGA inspired, although Arnold was speaking on The View about immigration.
Take a peek.
Immigrant Responsibility Speech00:03:14
So, if you are an immigrant, you're an immigrant in this country.
Did you have a visceral reaction to what they're doing, what ICE is doing, when you see the videos of it?
Well, I tell you, you said that the immigrant, I'm so proud and happy that I was embraced by the American people like that.
I mean, imagine I came over here with the age of 21, with absolutely nothing.
And then to create a career like that.
I mean, in no other country in the world, Could you do that?
Every single thing, if it's my bodybuilding career, if it's my acting career, becoming governor, the beautiful family that I've created, all of this is because of America.
That's true.
And so this is why I'm so, so happy to see firsthand that this is the greatest country in the world and it is the land of opportunity.
And I think because I'm such a proud American and a proud immigrant that came to America, I was asked to do on July 4th a big speech, the keynote speech at Mount Vernon, where George Washington was made to rest, where he lived and all that, to celebrate the 250th anniversary of America.
The existence of America.
And I will be doing the speech there.
They asked me because I'm an immigrant.
And there will be 7,000 some people there.
And there will be people that will be sworn in and will become citizens that day.
That's great.
So it's really a great, great celebration.
This is what this is all about to celebrate people becoming Americans and coming to America and all that.
And so I just think the world of the great kind of history that we have with immigrants in America.
But the key thing also is at the same time, That we got to do things legal.
That is the important thing, you know.
So you got to do things legal.
And those people that are doing illegal things in America and they're the foreigners, they are not smart.
Because when you come to America, you're a guest.
And you have to behave like a guest.
Like when I go to someone's house and I'm a guest, then I will do everything I can to keep things clean and to make my bed and to do everything that is the right thing to do.
Rather than committing a crime or being abusive or something like that.
So that doesn't really work in this country.
So I think the important thing is when you become an immigrant to think about okay, I go to America because I want to use America for the great opportunities that America has in education, in jobs, creating a family, all of those kind of things.
Then you have to think about okay, if I get all of those things from America, then I have to give something back.
You have a responsibility as an immigrant to give back to America.
And to pay back to America and to go and do something for your community for no money whatsoever.
Give something back to after school programs, Special Olympics, or whatever it is.
Isn't that awesome?
Alaska Putin Sea Shift00:03:11
I mean, think about that.
It's so great that he actually came out and said that.
And I think that people are feeling more freedom to speak up and sound wholesome and actually spout some of those good old American values that we used to always count on to get us where we are.
Thanks so much to everybody for being here.
It is great to.
I know, I know, I'm looking at your commentary.
I know Arnold has kind of a sketchy history.
So does Sharon Stone, for that matter.
Okay.
But, you know, maybe they just know which way the wind blows.
Maybe that's what's Going on, or maybe, there is a real sea shift and people are coming back to the center.
And that's what I'm hoping for, right?
Aren't you hoping for that as well?
By the way, we get a big week coming up.
Of course, you know that there's a big meeting going on.
Alaska, Alaska.
No, I'm not en route to Alaska.
I'm actually in the very hot, very humid Greek islands right now.
But Alaska is where it's all going on.
Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump sitting down, and there's a lot riding on this, of course, because the hope is.
That we can get to some kind of resolution, a peaceful resolution with Ukraine.
And so there's a lot riding on it.
Donald Trump, once again, believing that he can have the power to convince one Vladimir Putin.
We'll see how it all shakes out.
I can tell you, in terms of the markets, we've got a market that maybe is, I don't know if they're spooked by the wholesale inflation number.
I'm not.
I've told you this.
And by the way, I've written on this.
I encourage you to go over to 76 Research.
This is my company.
I started with my friend Rob.
And we wrote just the other day.
If you pay a dollar a month, it's just a dollar, guys.
And if you don't like it, you can cancel a dollar a month for the first two months and it goes to nine dollars and 95 cents.
Again, you can cancel money back anytime, but I think it's important to take a look at that.
We did explain, we laid out the inflation scenario and why we're not as worried as some.
You get the market slightly off, slightly off a wholesale number that came in a little bit hotter than expected.
Um, and so you get the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropping a little bit as a result.
I personally actually bought a little bit more because when it goes down, I buy it's just sort of my mantra, right?
You know.
Clearance.
You may have heard that story from me before.
Anyway, go check it out at 76 Research.
We also have some portfolios there.
American Resilience.
You can see, actually, this is an old chart.
What am I doing?
That is an old chart.
Our numbers are even better than that right now.
So that's the good news.
But we do have three different portfolios.
Go check out 76research.com.
I would say it's a very, very, very important, important, important weekend.
I mean, we'll see what comes out of tomorrow again in Alaska.
The President of the United States sitting down.
With one Vladimir Putin.
This is a critical moment, a critical moment for President Trump and obviously for Russia and for the world.
So we'll be all over that in the coming days, as you can imagine.
And it's great to have you here.
Don't forget to subscribe.
It's really, really important that you subscribe, that you share, that you leave a comment.
Let me know.
Let me know what you think.
Do you think Hollywood is coming back into focus or just a few people maybe are?
Anyway, let me know what you think, and I'll see you here live again tomorrow.
