Trish Regan exposes a $250 million Somali fraud scheme, alleging Ilhan Omar and Tim Walz orchestrated the "Feeding Our Future" scam while demanding reparations from ICE. She critiques AOC's Munich performance, analyzes California's population drain, and defends Trump's tariff authority post-Supreme Court ruling. The episode concludes by contrasting the U.S. men's Olympic hockey gold medal celebration with the women's team's rejection of a White House invitation, framing it as evidence of second-class citizenship.

Ilhan Omar Gets Nervous00:10:03
And I'm back, at least at home base.
Good to have you all here on a day when finally somebody's saying, you know what, these guys are going to have to pay up and they're going to have to pay up big.
So, you know, Ilhan Omar is getting a little bit nervous about that right about now, as she should.
Welcome to the program.
I'm Trish Regan.
This is the Trish Regan Show, the full edition.
Glad to have you here.
Make sure you subscribe, share, like.
I'm looking at your comments in real time.
So as I like to say, careful.
Anyway, big, big news because it looks as though finally somebody's saying, you know what, you guys are going to have to pay for this.
This is actually pretty serious.
They've been trying to turn it on us right, like they're out there saying hey, you know what we want reparations.
Well, the vice president of the United States is like nope, we're not having that.
Think again buddy boy Tim Waltz.
Think again mayor Fry.
Think again one Ilhan Omar.
Well, she's got to do a lot of thinking, because she's got a lot of negativity surrounding her, shall we say, right about now.
I mean from the hubby Timmy Minette and his alleged money laundering, to what she may have been doing in terms of orchestrating all this.
I mean 79 people.
The 79th was just arrested.
We're going to talk about that.
And they all somehow tie back to her.
I don't get it.
Well, JD wants them to pay up.
Preparations from them for allowing Somali fraudsters to steal billions of dollars from the American taxpayer that live in Minnesota.
Yeah, okay.
So it sounds like they may have to save a little bit of extra money as they're trying to depart the country.
We just got wind that one of the fraudsters was trying to take a flight right out of the country the other day.
How do you like this?
A 79th person charged.
In the Minnesota fraud ordeal, what?
The person has been charged in connection with the $250 million Feeding Our Future fraud scheme.
Fahima Mahamoud is the first person charged since the mass departures of federal prosecutors at the U.S. Attorney's Office here in Minnesota.
Our So Young Kim dug into the criminal complaint, and So Young, this would be the 79th person charged now in the scheme which exploited child nutrition programs.
That's right, and according to the Minnesota Department of Human Services website, the child care center in question.
Was licensed until late last month.
And federal court documents show Mohammed notified the state she would close the daycare last Tuesday.
She was arrested last Thursday before she was scheduled to take an international flight.
Okay, flee the country.
I guess she wanted to get the heck out of there, right?
Because she's a 79th.
Her name is Mohammed.
I assume she's going back to Somalia.
I don't know.
But not so fast, okay?
Not so fast.
Let's look into the details of the charges against her.
A 79th person is facing allegations in connection with the widespread feeding our future fraud scheme, according to a newly unsealed criminal complaint.
In court filings, a FBI special agent says Fahima Muhammad is facing one count of wire fraud.
FBI investigators say Muhammad operated a food site called Future Leaders Early Learning Center.
This site was also featured in a viral video that thrust Minnesota childcare centers back into the spotlight in December.
According to court records, Muhammad incorporated the center in 2015.
In 2018, Muhammad signed a sponsor transfer request to be underfeeding our future.
Investigators say starting in December 2020, claims ballooned.
And by February 2021, future leaders claimed to serve nearly 60,000 meals to children monthly.
60,000 meals?
I mean, that's a lot of food, right?
Well, they weren't really serving 60,000 meals.
I mean, it's just unbelievable.
And this Amy Bach, she was allegedly the ringleader of the whole thing.
She's like, no, I'm innocent.
They've got a lot of emails back and forth with her.
The one interesting thing out of Amy Bach, though, is that she's saying that Tim Walz and Ilhan Omar and the whole lot of them kind of knew what was going on and looked the other way for deliberate reasons because they recognized the importance of the Somalian community, politically speaking.
Let's go to the next little bit of this report because this woman who's like trying to leave and flee the country and is the 79th person arrested, you know, she's just the tip of the iceberg.
We haven't even gotten to California yet, for goodness sakes.
Here we go, Amy.
Evidence also from February 2021 shows email communications between Amy Bach.
The ringleader behind the fraud scheme and feeding our future staff member concerning Muhammad's request to quote increase from 500 to 1,000.
In response, Bach wrote, quote, just let her.
Just let her.
Just let her.
I mean, this is just crazy to me.
It's absolutely unbelievable.
You better believe we want every single dollar back, okay?
There was a lot of money, a lot of money at stake.
19 billion are the current estimates.
You're talking about possibly another 80 billion out in California.
They're looking into Maine, they're looking into Ohio, and You know, I don't know how they're going to get it because a lot of it's probably off in Dubai or in properties or cars or other things.
But listen, this is not okay.
It's just not okay.
Another part of the report suggests something concerning to me.
Let's go to it.
Court filings also cite forensic analysis that indicates during the period in question between December 2020 to July 2021, the Future Leaders Bank account received more than $850,000 in reimbursements for serving meals to children.
I guess.
However, in that same period, only roughly $125,000 was spent on food.
And the analysis also indicates large payments were made to Muhammad and companies associated with Muhammad and also spent on property purchases.
And earlier today, a federal judge granted her release from federal custody on her own recognizance.
Excuse me?
Okay, so that's the part that really has me surprised.
You get a judge out there in Minnesota that granted her release on her own recognizance.
In other words, no bail, no nothing after the womb is caught trying to flee the country.
Like, what is going on?
It tells me we still got problems, okay?
So this is why you need the FBI.
This is why you need Treasury.
This is why you need the DOJ.
This is why you need the federal government in there controlling the insanity that is.
And that's why, yes, the feds.
Meaning, the vice president of the United States is demanding that, guess what?
You know what?
They got to pay up.
They got to pay back.
I mean, I don't know what the heck went down with Ilhan Omar.
I am going to tell you this it sure doesn't look like it was a very honest enterprise that she and her husband had going.
I mean, the winery with no wine, the private equity, oh no, venture capital fund with like, what did they say?
They had $60 billion assets under management between them, like him and his partner and other people at various times.
They claim they were operating in all these different countries and they had 11 ambassadors on Saturday.
I mean, I don't know what it was.
They were working out of a WeWork, for goodness sakes.
That, to me, smacks of all kinds of problems, not to mention the fact that Timmy Minot had a whole history of problems, a whole history of fraud allegations, and had kind of been dabbling in some weird stuff like the cannabis companies, for goodness sakes.
It all comes as Ilhan Omar went into hiding for like a week and then emerged trying to hijack the story and kind of take it in a new direction.
Ilhan Omar is trying to say, oh, no, no, you guys owe us reparations.
Ilhan Omar is trying to also say that somehow ICE is still up to no good there in Minneapolis, even though they have pulled out extensively because why, oh, finally the prisons decided to cooperate.
Let's go to Ilhan as she emerges from hiding there on Friday.
Watch.
Thank you.
When did you give notice?
And I just want to make sure you did not see any detainees.
Now, we gave just to back up, this is her and her friend that went into the prison.
They tried to pull a, Yalamanika MacGyver kind of thing where they would go in and say, hey, you know, can we see the inmates, the people that have been detained that are about to be turned over to ICE?
And they had been asking.
They claimed for eight days.
They finally got in.
So within, you know, just over a week, they got in.
And then they're upset because they didn't see anybody in there.
And they're kind of suggesting that somehow those people were deliberately moved.
Let's listen.
Notice eight days ago.
We got confirmation yesterday that we were going to be allowed in.
And the last detainee was taken out at 11 30 a.m., 30 minutes before we were set to arrive.
What about the children are released in t shirts on Wednesday?
And we also did ask, you know.
How many people came through today, which is why it felt convenient that no one was there.
They said 10 when we first got there and 10 were gone.
And then they said there were another five.
And so I circled back and I said, Can we go and see the five that are here because we have privacy release forms?
And they said, No, we cannot permit you to go into the cell to see the detainees.
And I said, Well, we don't need to go into the cell.
Put the forms, slide them in, and then we can look through the glass and see what their conditions look like.
And then they oot and odd for a little bit, and then conveniently, as they were taking us towards the cell, someone said, There is not a single person left, and they took us into an empty cell.
So it's just the timeline and the stories seem very convenient for what they really were working very hard for us not to see and witness.
But thank you all.
Oh my gosh.
And I'm looking at some of your comments.
Community Deserves Accountability00:09:15
You're commenting on the lisp that you hear that she seems to hiss every time she says an S.
Yeah, she's got quite an accent indeed.
I realize it's tough to listen to at times, but important to nonetheless hear her side and what she's saying because this is a very interesting pivot for her.
She went into hiding, especially as the Timmy Minette stuff came out and Comer saying, okay, we've got the ethics committee investigating her and her husband now.
And she just was nowhere to be found.
I mean, a couple of reporters caught up with her and they were asked, you know, various things.
She was dead silent, right?
Remember this the other day?
Into your net worth, you and your husband's net worth, they're claiming that it's risen rapidly.
What's your response to what they're saying?
Nothing.
Silence.
Do you think they'll find anything in their investigation into your network?
She's taking the fifth.
She's taking the fifth, right?
I mean, clearly.
I think it's really suspicious.
You know how much reporting we have done on that here on this show.
Anyway, she's trying to hijack the story.
She wants to get away from the fraud.
She wants to get away from what she and her husband may have made.
We're not going to let her.
Okay, we're not going to let her.
And here's the deal JD wants her and Minette and Fry and the rest of the Democrat politicians that allowed for this to happen to start looking at reparations for real.
Watch.
You now have the leaders there now saying that they want reparations from ICE.
So Jacob Fry and Tim Walz believe that they should be paid money.
They say that the federal government must pay for what they broke.
Now, all of a sudden, they care about money.
Apparently, they didn't care about it with the fraud.
What is your response to that?
Well, my response is I, on behalf of the American people, would like reparations from them for allowing Somali fraudsters to steal billions of dollars from the American taxpayer that live in Minnesota.
They've done nothing to cut down on that fraud.
I think it's absurd for people to say we want reparations.
Reparations for what?
Because we enforced the law that the American people elected us to do?
Because we took people who were setting up fraudulent daycare centers and tried to get them out of this country?
Because we took criminals out of neighborhoods and either put them in prison or sent them far away from the United States of America?
We're doing the job the American people elected us to do.
No one is talking about anything other than enforce the law against criminal illegal aliens in the United States of America.
It's really not that hard.
And it's a huge indictment of Jacob Fry and, frankly, the entire far left that they made that their cause of the day, letting violence offenders stay on the streets of America.
The president's just not going to go for that.
No, he's not.
John, I appreciate your generosity.
He's trying to encourage everybody else to tip.
Listen, I love that so many of you are members here on the channel, and I appreciate that from all of you.
And you know what?
I got to tell you, I do this because I love it.
I mean, granted, I'm fortunate that, yes, I can make a living at this, but I am very committed to the success of our nation.
And frankly, I consider our nation to be in a very, very fragile spot right now.
And this entire scandal has exposed so much of it.
Okay.
So this is a labor of love.
And yes, I am fortunate that.
One can have a career.
Isn't it nice not having to be at network television anymore?
I say that to myself all the time.
I'm like gosh, they just got to pinch me anyway.
These Somalian people, a lot of the women, are out there demanding these reparations.
If you can understand her, I mean, this one's not easy, but take a listen in and she's uh, she's saying that hey, you know, we should be paid because of what we've been through with ice.
We have suffering since starting for ice.
We wanna whoever bring over here.
We want to debate.
Only that's what I'm saying.
I'm asking our governor and our state.
We are taxpayers.
We need payback whatever they committed ICE.
We need payback.
We need payback.
Because ICE was so awful.
And then she gets a big round of applause.
Here's another one.
It's just about four seconds here saying that they need reparations themselves.
Watch.
We also demand an immediate help to evictions so families are not pushed to homelessness during the crisis.
Our community deserves accountability.
Our community deserves safety.
We need also justice for those who lost their lives defending the community.
Oh my goodness!
I mean, my, my, my, my goodness.
You know, I'll tell you, you know who has this spot on and is asking the right questions?
And, you know, you think about, hey, we'll go through the words of JFK.
I think not what the country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.
But also think about the influx of people that we've had coming in in recent years where instead of being the melting pot, right, we've turned into the total salad and not even a salad at that because everything's compartmentalized.
It's the old TV dinners.
Remember?
As a kid, we'd occasionally get, it was a real treat, a TV dinner.
And everything was like separated.
And that's what they have done.
They have stayed within their own communities and within those communities actually taken advantage of the rest of the country.
And this is not okay.
I want to go to Senator Tuberville, who's making this point that it's got to stop.
First of all, why would President Obama be allowed to bring in 80,000 people from Somalia and put them in one area in Minnesota, which is Minneapolis?
And it was all done by plan.
It's a third world country, not assimilate, to build their own neighborhoods, to overtake the local, state, and then federal government with.
Ileana Omar, she's not even a citizen, but she's in Congress.
I can't figure out how we've allowed this to happen.
People that are non US citizens to be in Congress to be helped making laws and voting on things.
But yeah.
I mean, so he's making this suggestion, as you can see here on the screen, that maybe this was Obama's fault.
He was very deliberately importing people from this part of the country in order to help take over the local government.
I, you know, look, I will say this.
I think that there was at some point a political.
card that was being played and continues to be played, right?
What do you think the whole importation and no borders was with 11 million people at least coming in under Joe Biden?
There was a method to that madness.
But as Tommy's pointing out, Senator Tuberville's pointing out, and also Brendan Gill, I want to go to him.
He just joined the Sharia free caucus there in Congress, which has picked up a lot of steam.
You know, you got to be thoughtful about who you're bringing into the country because we don't want to turn into Europe.
Did you see the video the other day in Times Square or New York, somewhere where it was where everybody was praying and they had this like mass?
prayer and everybody's like, wait a second.
Like we feel like we're being taken over and our culture is being suppressed all in the name of trying to make everybody else seem so happy.
Like what is that about?
We got a great culture.
Hey, just ask Team USA that won hockey gold, right?
They're going to the State of the Union tomorrow night.
We're going to get to that story.
But first, here's Brandon.
Where did this come from?
Islam is largely alien to American history.
It certainly didn't come into the United States on the Mayflower.
It's something that we deliberately imported as a matter of immigration policy into our country.
And it's going to destroy us just like it's destroying Europe right now.
It's our job to stand up to that, to stand up for our values, and to prohibit alien cultures.
And alien ideologies that do not comport with our own governing framework.
And that's why I'm proud to be part of the Sharia Free America Caucus.
Wow.
Right.
He's, by the way, just a really smart and great guy.
Son in law of Dinesh D'Souza, my friend Dinesh, who's married to a wonderful woman, Dinesh's daughter, Danielle.
Anyway, Brendan Gill and others really taking this on and saying, look, we got to get a hold of this before it takes a hold of us or just robs us blind.
I mean, giving new meaning to the Somalian pirate thing, right?
Ooh.
Okay.
Speaking of which, if you want to make money the old fashioned way, I want you to.
I want you to make money the old fashioned, the honest way, okay?
Make good investments, sound investments over time.
We're going to talk about what's happening with Iran.
It caused the market to be a little bit nervous today.
You know, you saw people pulling back from tech.
You saw people pulling back from everything, basically, except for gold.
We have done extremely well over at 76 Research.
I'm very proud of our portfolios.
We have three of them.
I encourage you to look at.
In fact, one of you guys in the chat the other day was talking about the basic income builder, which has just been soaring.
Of course, there's a lot of gold in that as well as other commodities.
I really do encourage you to take a look at that.
You can use my code word dollar DOLARDO, L-L-A-R, and get the 76 report for a dollar a month or for the first two months.
And it goes to $9.95 thereafter.
I do encourage you to look at the portfolios, the portfolios at 76 research, which just have a lot of really good ideas for you to be investing in for the long haul because I still am a big believer in all of this, even despite what we saw with the Supreme Court.
Red State Boom Concerns00:05:57
and tariffs on Friday, which we will get to.
I still feel very strongly that this economy is heading in the right direction.
Heck, the president says we're going to see 100,000 on the Dow.
Wouldn't he love it?
We already topped 50, right?
Meanwhile, we've got some shocking admissions from CNN.
Oh my goodness, I never thought I'd see the day.
I really didn't.
I really didn't.
But they're talking about a blue depression in a lot of these states.
They're talking about how the blue states just kind of overpromise and underdeliver nonstop.
It's like a new CNN.
Wow.
Anyway, before we get too excited, let's see what I'm talking about.
Harry Anton.
I like this guy.
Talking about some of the poll numbers which suggest massive population swings, which will bode well for getting more representation in Congress and also more electoral college votes.
What do you know?
Wasn't this the game that the Democrats were trying to play with all the migrants coming into the country?
Take a peek.
Look at this.
The biggest population growth this decade, all five of the states, states that Donald Trump, Donald John Trump won.
Donald John Trump won in 2024.
Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, and of course the great state of Arizona where I spent my New Year's Eve.
I love those folks out in Prescott, Arizona.
These were the biggest gainers, the biggest gainers in terms of population compared to the 2020 census.
Now it's not just a red state boom.
This is what we're looking at.
We're looking at a red state boom here, but it is not just a red state boom.
We're also looking at what I would dare call a blue state depression because who are the people?
Who are the people?
And where are the people moving from into the red states?
Well, they're blue states.
They're blue states.
Take a look here.
The lowest domestic net migration this decade.
All five of the states, states that were won by Kamala Harris in 2024.
Look at this California, Harris' home state.
New York, where I'm coming from right now, of course.
Illinois, New Jersey.
And of course, the great Commonwealth of Massachusetts, which is a bastion of blue liberalism.
These are the states that folks in the United States are moving away from.
and into the red states, which is propelling a red state boom.
But you know why that is.
You know exactly why that is because taxes got too high and they were over promising and under delivering.
And so basically every conservative was like, give me the HELL out of here, right?
And they moved to places like Florida.
And then you had people in the middle that were also saying, I think I need to get the HELL out of here.
And so again, they moved to Texas, to Florida.
And you started seeing this migration away from these blue states.
The fear, of course, we all have is that the blue state people will somehow wind up in the red states.
Suddenly the red states won't be red anymore and that won't be good.
But I don't actually think that's what's happening, at least not according to CNN.
What they're really worried about, or at least the Democrat Party is really worried about, is that this depression is real, not just emotionally, I think how some of these people have been feeling in these blue states, and not just economically, but a depression in the numbers and that you're not going to have enough people, therefore not enough members of Congress and therefore not enough, not just congressional representation, but also.
Electoral map representation, right?
So then that starts to change things really, really for good in a massive way.
Let's go back to Harry on the broader implications of this, which are quite important.
This is interesting, right?
But it could also have major political ramifications if it holds for 2030, the next census.
Because take a look here.
If in fact the 2025 population shifts hold for the 2030 census, look at this.
Look at the House seat shifts by state.
Remember, of course, we apportion the number of House seats depending on the population in each state.
If in fact the 2025 population shifts hold for 2030, states that Kamala Harris won, They would lose.
They would lose seven seats in the United States House of Representatives.
The states that Donald Trump won in 2024, they would gain.
They would gain seven seats.
Now, this isn't just about the House of Representatives, right?
It's also about the Electoral College because the number of electoral votes that each state gets is equal to the number of senators.
Each state, of course, has two plus the number of House seats that they have.
So, what would this mean for the House of Representatives?
Well, if you remember back in 2024, right, it was all about, we were talking about.
The blue wall, if Kamala Harris could win the baseline Democratic states and then add in the blue wall states of Michigan, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, she would get to 270 electoral votes.
But if all of a sudden we, in fact, have applying the 2025 estimates, the population estimates, to the Electoral College, the blue states plus the blue wall of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin would no longer be enough.
Under the current estimates, you get to exactly 270 electoral votes, the minimum needed to win the Electoral College.
If in fact you apply the 2025 estimates, look at that.
You would only get to 263 electoral votes if you were a Democrat, which would mean a Republican victory.
Okay.
So that's what they're really afraid about.
I mean, that's why you hear all this crazy rhetoric all the time, all this wild language somehow suggesting that, you know, Donald Trump is, well, Hitler, right?
Like, why do I even need to pause?
They say it all the time and he's racist and he's this and he's that.
But you understand, they're playing for the the long game.
They're really worried because they're going to be out of commission pretty soon.
I would recommend they just kind of buckle down and try and find a new way for themselves because if you think about it, this president has actually taken a lot of their platforms completely over.
I remember a time when they were all complaining about illegal migrants, right?
And we couldn't be the welfare system for Mexico.
I'm quoting Dianne Feinstein from like the 90s.
And you used to hear this all the time.
Jim Crow System Returns00:15:03
And yet, Totally different scenario right now.
Even voter ID, for goodness sakes, that was a pet project of Chuck Schumer's.
You wouldn't know it now.
No, no, no.
Now it's like Jim Crow 2.0.
That's what they tell us over and over again.
So why not buckle down and try and figure out what you guys actually stand for that is in line and in sync with the voting population so you don't get yourself moved out of existence?
I mean, to near extinction, which is where I think you're heading right now.
And you know what?
Don't take it from me because I have my own biases.
Take it from a guy who seems to have a lot of liberal biases.
Again, CNN kind of doing the unthinkable, calling the Democrats out for what they are doing and the atrocities that they've committed.
Created the economic disasters in all of these states.
Here's Fareed Zakaria over the weekend.
New York is really a prime example of a problem Democrats seem unwilling to confront.
Blue cities are out of control, promising more, spending more, delivering less, and pushing off the fiscal problems to some future day.
Take Los Angeles, another one party metropolis wrestling with affordability and disorder.
The city's homelessness budget for fiscal year 2025 26.
Totals about $950 million.
The LA Homelessness Services Authority reported that in 2023, homelessness was up 9% countywide and 10% in the city.
And a 2024 AP account noted that homelessness has surged 70% countywide since 2015 and 80% in the city.
All this amid public frustration despite billions spent.
I mean, think about that.
You're spending billions of dollars, billions and billions and billions of dollars on problems like homelessness in California, and yet.
You get nothing to show for it.
You saw those numbers.
It's up 80, like what the heck is going on.
Oh, is this another Somali fraudster ring?
Sure seems like it.
That's why they're talking about 80 billion dollars in fraud in the state of California.
Medicaid, Medicare programs like this, the homeless situation, I mean.
So the Democrats.
They got a whole system going on and gosh darn it.
You know it's so darn predictable because this is always what happens.
You try any socialist communist system anywhere in the world throughout history and you always see the same darn thing.
You always have this kind of graft.
You always have, and nobody like catches it until it's too late.
Well, we're catching it and we're going to keep catching it.
You know, Fareed Zakaria also making this point, although he has kind of a convoluted way of saying it and trying to make his point, but basically he means They were spending too much money and that led to massive inflation, which led to all kinds of other problems.
Unaffordability is what happens when government becomes a machine that grows faster than the society it governs.
Yes.
In other words, you spend too much, you create all this graft, it's another form of money printing.
You're just giving billions of dollars out, for example, to feeding our future.
I guess in that case it was $250 million, but billions more to these daycare centers and Medicaid, Medicare, etc.
And that money.
isn't actually going to anything real because you don't actually have market forces working anymore at all.
So of course you get inflation, a ton of inflation.
And you know who's got serious mega inflation?
That would be the state of California.
We're going to get to that in a second.
But you know, you got problems in New York as well.
And Mam Dami, oh Mam Dami, my goodness, the comrade Mam Dami who's out there trying to get people to shovel snow, but he says you got to have two forms of ID, not one, two forms.
You don't need ID to vote, but you do need ID to shovel snow apparently he just oh he raised the rate apparently they're only offering $19 an hour They couldn't get anyone to do it.
So now it's up to 30 Hmm, and another snowstorms heading our way anyway more from Fareed.
This is amazing to me because this is CNN guys.
Okay CNN is like just woken up CNN has just gotten religion.
They've just figured this out amazing Zorhan Mamdani's basic instinct is correct focus on affordability especially housing But not by providing government subsidies.
These only seem to have driven up the cost of rent as subsidies naturally do.
The city's rental assistance spending rose from $263 million in fiscal year 2020 to $1.34 billion in the most recently reported fiscal year.
That is a five times increase in a handful of years, and housing costs only got worse.
Yep.
So you know what the answer would actually be.
It's what Donald Trump recommended to Mamdami.
Hey, why not bring in more developers and put up more houses?
Right?
Like you have more supply and therefore you don't have this run on demand and therefore you lower prices.
Right?
But oh, no, no, no.
Mamdami just wants to print more money and, you know, have more fake stuff and then restrictions.
So nobody wants to build in New York and prices go up again.
I mean, unbelievable.
I think, you know, a piece of my mind saying you can't make this stuff up and yet it's happening.
I mean, It's so in defiance of human nature, right?
Totally in defiance of human nature.
And this tool out there in California, Gavin Newsom, he just doesn't get it.
He's being asked about why his city is seeing this total drain on its population.
We just heard from CNN saying everybody's leaving in droves, and he tries to fight it.
Watch.
California has the highest cost of living in the nation.
The state's prices are 11% higher than the national average.
We were actually out to dinner here in Nashville last night.
We met a couple from California.
They moved out of California because they couldn't afford the rent or even to buy a home and also start a family.
Yeah, we've had hundreds of thousands of people move in California the last two, three years.
We've seen population growth.
Population growth?
Oh, I don't think so, buddy boy.
No, you've seen population decline.
You keep trying to spin that all you want.
The numbers don't lie.
As you know, we've moved from sixth to the fourth largest economy in the world.
That's because every other economy, I guess, like France is suffering.
We dominate now in every key industry from AI, quantum, robotics.
We dominate in ag.
We dominate four streets.
People are struggling to afford things like your mom was.
Yeah, they're struggling because guess what?
Inflation is 11% higher in the state of California than it is nationwide.
And they have so many taxes.
I mean, think about the gasoline taxes alone, but the actual taxes.
I'll tell you a funny story.
I used to live in San Francisco.
I called it Sucks Francisco because I hated it so much.
I really, really hated it.
Of course, I'm an East Coast girl.
So we moved out there for almost five years and I almost immediately nicknamed it Sucks Francisco.
And I really couldn't wait to get back to the Northeast.
And when we eventually did, this was amazing to me.
California like hunted us down.
This was very early in our marriage.
Like we didn't have a lot, but they were not going to let us get away with leaving the state of California.
They were following us all the way to New York and they wanted every little slice of everything they could get.
And it was annoying and cumbersome.
And you had to keep filing forms.
They never got not a penny out of us because they were in the wrong.
We were in the right.
We had officially moved to the state of New York.
but it shows you how desperate they were even back then.
And they're continuing to be desperate because they just offer more than they can deliver, as Farid so rightly said.
Blue cities are out of control, promising more, spending more, delivering less, and pushing off the fiscal problems to some future day.
Yeah, well, you know what?
Chickens are coming home to roost.
And Gavin Newsom, I don't think you get a prayer in HELL of getting elected to the presidency of the United States.
And I realize that is all you have ever wanted from the time you were quite young.
But let's face it, you're just not smart enough.
Oh, wait, you know that.
I think you know that.
You're just not smart enough.
I mean, they were running circles around you.
Fraudsters allegedly off with 80 billion dollars in fraud.
I think the vice president is going to demand that you pay that one back too.
I mean he's so not smart.
I mean he's got a major problem right in in the state of California with the population drain, with companies leaving, Elon Musk being a very notable example of that.
But plenty of companies are leaving Palantir the latest it's relocating to Florida.
Right, can you blame them?
Way better tax situation.
Way better law situation.
Right, if you're a corporation, you want to be not just incorporated in Delaware, but even if you think about what Elon did, he said, I'm going to be incorporated in Texas.
And all of these companies are saying, hey, you know, not only do I want to be incorporated somewhere else like Texas or Florida, I want the chance at having some ability for my employees to keep a little bit more of what they make.
Plus I can pay them less, hopefully, because we don't have this crazy inflation in our state.
But Gavin is not that smart.
And he admitted it.
So speaking to a black audience over the weekend, a black audience, okay?
He starts going on about how he's just like them.
And if I'm in that audience, And I'm one of those people.
I'd be like, speak for yourself, buddy.
I mean, talking about a stupid watch, I gotta show it to you.
I'm not, you know, I'm not trying to impress you.
I'm just trying to impress upon you.
I'm like you.
I'm no better than you.
You know, I'm a 960 SAT guy.
Boo!
And, you know, and I'm not trying to offend anyone, you know, trying to act all there if you got nine.
40.
No one takes me on.
Literally a 960 SAT guy.
I cannot, you've never seen me read a speech because I cannot read a speech.
Maybe the wrong business to be in.
I don't doubt that.
So he can't read.
He bombed on his SCTs and now he's the governor of California.
Why aren't we getting our best and our brightest?
Why aren't we getting more people from the business sphere?
It's one of the things that I've always liked about Trump because he actually did something before he showed up in the Oval Office unlike the likes of Gavin Newsom or the likes of Barack Obama, community organizer that he was.
Or frankly, Kamala Harris, whose biggest claim to fame was dating my neighbor.
Mayor Willie Brown.
In San Francisco, I lived in his building.
My door person once said to me, Trish, you've got to make sure.
She had given me one of his parking spots one day.
We had one parking spot with our place and briefly we had two cars and I needed to put it somewhere.
She's like, oh, park in the mayor's spot.
I parked it there and I get a call from her at like eight, nine o'clock at night and she's like, you've got to move it.
You've got to move it.
She was frantic.
She said, I just don't want you to be caught in a bad situation in the middle of the night when the mayor's ladies show up.
And I'm like, what?
It's more information than I needed to know.
But I've always thought about that story when they tell me about Kamala Harris just a few years later.
than running for presidency.
And really, she had no claim to fame other than being Willie Brown's girlfriend.
Here we are, Gavin Newsom.
He seems to be a little upset when Hannity starts picking on him.
All Hannity did was, well, like many of us, look at that thing and say, Jesus, this guy got a 960 on his SAT, which he thinks makes him just like many black Americans.
Like I said, if I was a black American sitting in that room, I'd be like, you are on your own, buddy.
Speak for yourself.
Don't assume that about me.
Just because of my skin color, I mean, talking about a racist thing to do, right?
And that's what he's saying.
And oh, Gavin freaks out.
In fact, he freaks out so much that we start hearing all kinds of obscenities out of his mouth.
What is it with these lefties and their obscenities constantly?
You didn't give a, you know what, about the President of the United States of America posting an ape video on President Obama or calling African nations, you know what, holes.
But you're going to call me a racist for my lifelong struggle with dyslexia?
Oh, now it's dyslexia?
Spare me your fake effing outrage.
You know what?
Spare us.
We don't really want to listen to your disgusting. verbiage.
Mr. Newsom.
And I would highly recommend you get off the political stage before it gets really ugly for you, because as I look at Ilhan Omar and I consider that she was possibly putting all these people together, possibly her husband was actually running some kind of circus where, who knows, the allegation is that he was taking a cut of everything.
When I look at the pain that she's going to be suffering and that she will go through as a result of Comer's house ethics investigation, I think about you, Gavin, and the 80. Billion dollars that has suddenly apparently gone missing through fraud in the state of California.
And I think it's going to be really uncomfortable for you.
I mean, just a hunch here.
You're not that smart, right?
So apparently you didn't even notice.
Maybe that will be your plea defense.
Maybe you can get out of jail faster.
You say, I was just too stupid to understand any of it, Judge.
Possibly.
I mean, he really is quite stupid.
And of course, we're not talking about the other aspects of the Save Act that go well beyond ID.
And it goes to the, I mean, which is also part of Jim Crow, the history.
You see, he's so stupid he has no idea how to get a birth certificate.
And Gavin Newsom wants you to think that you can't pass the SAVE Act because everybody's going to be just as stupid as he is and have no clue where to find their birth certificate.
I got news for you, okay?
You just call your government.
Government.
You called a state.
Oh, yeah.
Assuming your state can get from, you know, point A to point B in some of these Democratic states, I mean, maybe he's got a point.
So he's like, I can't find my birth certificate.
And he's telling James Clyburn there, isn't this terrible?
And then James Clyburn takes it one step further.
I think they're realizing that the Jim Crow 2.0 thing is not really working, especially when the majority of Black Americans are saying, hey, we believe in voter ID.
Overwhelmingly, 76% of Black Americans want voter ID.
So this Jim Crow thing is not really.
Flying anymore now, is it?
So they got to get creative.
And okay, you know, people aren't going to be able to find their birth certificates.
Of course they can.
Of course they can.
Oh, they don't have a passport.
You know what?
I'm sorry.
It's not that hard.
Just go down to your county office and get your darn birth certificate, Gavin.
They've had to go well beyond ID and it goes to the, I mean, which is also part of Jim Crow, the history.
And that is when it comes to registration, you got to find your birth certificate.
If you know where yours is, I have no clue where mine is.
Or you have to passport and two thirds.
African Americans don't even have passports.
The passport, I was blocking on just then.
But not only that, how many people go out, get married, and then square their married name with their birth certificate?
Birth Certificate Confusion00:09:44
And that would be.
So you see what they're doing now.
They realize the Jim Crow stuff isn't flying.
So, okay, one, maybe you can't find your birth certificate.
Two, oh, if you're a woman, you're not going to like this because if you change your name, it's a problem.
No, it's not.
I mean, you know what?
If you don't fully change your name across all your identification, then it's clearly not a problem because it would be the same as your birth certificate.
Meanwhile, if it is the same as if your birth certificate says one name and then you show your marriage license, this is not hard.
Okay.
This is not rocket science, people.
This is not hard.
We're just asking you to take a little pride in yourself and a little pride in your country and get a freaking ID.
But not only that, how many people go out?
Get married.
Yes.
And then square their married name with their birth certificate.
And that would be thrown out under that law.
Under that law.
Yeah.
So that's what just passed the House of Representatives now needs to get the 60 in the Senate.
Oh, really?
I like what Schumer said.
They're coming up with every excuse in the book.
Every single one.
And you got to ask yourself why.
I mean, you do need an ID to buy cigarettes, you need an ID to buy alcohol, you need an ID to.
to take out a library book, all right?
Like you need an ID for everything, to get on Greyhound bus, to just fly on a plane, to check into a hotel.
You need identification.
This is not controversial.
And the fact that you guys are sitting there on the left and trying to say nobody should have ID and it's sexist and it's racist and it's this and it's that, and I can't find my birth certificate.
I'm telling you, we're starting to wonder, like, what are you doing with all these elections?
I mean, I look at what's going down in Georgia right now.
You get the FBI hauling out 700 boxes worth of ballots and going through all of that.
I'm like, what is going on?
that you so badly need to cling to this idea of no ID.
I mean, is it that important to the fraudulent efforts?
Because that's what we're all thinking.
We can't really understand it because it's not normal.
It's not practical.
And you don't even have the country with you.
The majority of the country, 86%, believe that we need voter ID.
So who exactly are you fighting for?
I guess yourselves, but again, it leads us all to say, Is there some funny business going on?
Because if there were no funny business, you'd be happy with ID now, would you not?
Exactly.
Okay, AOC, another one who's fighting against all of this, another one who's a very sad Democrat, just like Gavin Newsom, but is aspirational.
Believe it or not, she actually wants to be the next president of the United States.
I will take that bet.
You know what?
That is a trade.
I would be happy to see her running.
I'd be happy to see Gavin Newsom running.
I mean, all of these people are so terrible in their own respective rights.
Poor AOC cannot string a sentence together and really proved her incompetency on the world stage most recently there in Munich.
I mean, that was just a disaster if I ever saw one.
And I'm not the only one commenting.
And the whole world is commenting on it.
I mean, she was awful, right?
She was awful.
So now she's on the verge of tears saying, how dare you say I was awful?
How dare you insult my intelligence?
I know so much about international relations.
Yeah, right.
This is great.
Senator Kennedy.
A little snippet of him.
The Congresswoman is kind of like Vice President Kamala Harris, but with more bartending experience.
He's really funny, right?
He is very, very funny.
The Senator from Louisiana.
Yeah, she's got a little more bartending experience, but I guess that's better than the other kind of experience.
Woo!
Did I say that?
You had to have heard the Willie Brown story earlier to get that one.
Anyway, AOC really acting quite dumb in the city of Munich where they had this international conference.
And then she, like, dissolves into tears while I guess her dog is snoring next to her.
That was quite distracting.
I'm going to play you that sound.
And all I can hear is the dog snoring.
Let's assume and hope that's what it was.
Anyway, AOC sounding extraordinarily dumb, like giving new meaning to, well, somebody who cannot articulate her words.
In fact, I would think in this particular case, and tell me if I'm wrong or not, I'm having a hard time trying to understand who would be the gold medal winner for word salad.
Would it be Kamala Harris or AOC?
Listen.
offer.
And to all of you, and Congressman, I'll start with you, would and should the U.S. actually commit U.S. troops to defend Taiwan if China were to move?
You know, I think that this is such a, you know, I think that this is a.
Today, Junior?
This is, of course, a.
A very long standing policy of the United States.
And I think what we are hoping for is that we want to make sure that we never get to that point.
And we want to make sure that we are moving in all of our economic research.
I can't take it.
I can't take it.
She sort of just says, you know, I'll keep the status quo.
I guess.
I mean, I don't really know.
But it was bad.
It was really, really, really bad.
And so everybody's laughing about it, right?
Everybody's laughing about it.
And she gets a little offended.
She's like, how dare you?
Because I'm going to be the next president of the United States.
The amazing thing is, if you look at the poll data, They actually show that most Americans consider her to be the leader, the leader, the capital L of the Democrat Party right now.
So here we go.
Ladies and gentlemen, the leader of the Democrat Party on the verge of tears, some late night with her dog apparently right next to her, although a piece of my mind says maybe it was the boyfriend.
Maybe it's time for a CPAP machine.
That's some serious snoring we're talking about.
Watch.
If you think that I don't understand foreign policy, because out of hours, of discourse about international affairs, I pause to think about one of the most sensitive geopolitical issues that currently exist on earth.
I'm afraid the issue is not my understanding, but rather the problem is perhaps you've gotten adjusted to a president that never thinks before he speaks.
I don't think you think before you speak.
My dear Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
And you know, if you thought before you decided to do that little video, you might have actually put the dog in the other room.
Again, assuming it was the dog, because I don't know.
I don't know.
Sounds like a dog snoring.
Or maybe you could have just gone to the other room.
Don't move the dog, right?
Just you go to the other room and record that very serious, verge of tears moment where how dare anybody insult your intelligence when it comes to international relations.
And then she tries to pivot and then put it back on Trump because you've gotten used to him.
Actually, he's pretty good on international relations.
You're not.
You're just not.
And you know what?
Senator Kennedy, I got a longer bite from him.
He knows it.
I know it.
You guys know it.
We all know it.
AOC just has such an ego, apparently, it's taken her a while to know it.
I guarantee you, the dog knows it.
The Congresswoman is kind of like Vice President Kamala Harris, but with more bartending experience.
She has never been accused of being a policy maven.
You put her in a presidential primary with Elizabeth Warren or Rahm Emanuel, they will devour her like a light snack.
I probably shouldn't say this, but she can.
She can get me back.
Somebody told me a joke today.
They said Congresswoman Ocasio Cortez announced today categorically that she is not a moron.
And she went on to say she hasn't even been to Utah, much less embraced their religion.
He's funny.
Now, she can get me back.
I don't dislike the Congresswoman, but our plan for dealing with her, as I've said before, has always been operation.
Let her speak.
And so far it's working.
And my message to my friend, the Congresswoman, is you go, girl.
You just keep it up.
Just let her keep talking and let the dog keep snoring.
Although some people think she was maybe having some gastrointestinal issues.
The 10 year old boy in me is coming out.
Anyway, that was wild.
I mean, she could have waited, right?
Why would you post that?
I mean, you're talking about international relations, like have some decorum, be a little bit more sophisticated, AOC, but you know.
This is AOC that we're talking about.
And really, I get it.
Like some of you guys are like, really, she needs to go back to bartending.
She thinks Elon's a moron.
Our menace rights times two.
The fact that she thinks, I mean, the fact that she thinks he's a moron, that tells you a lot right there.
This is also the woman that wouldn't allow for all these really wonderful paying, we're talking $100,000, $200,000 jobs from Amazon.
They wouldn't come into her district because she threw such a fit.
I mean, so Bezos has no use for her either.
And she just falls back on, oh, well, you know, I hate the billionaires and I hate these big companies, but I hate to tell you, lady, and weren't you an economics major?
I mean, I guess from sort of a two-rate school, but she was an economics major.
This is kind of one of the first things you learn that, yeah, you know, you need those companies employing people because they actually help people to have livelihoods.
She wants, however, the government to keep employing everybody.
Tariff Staging Explained00:12:15
And you see, that's fundamentally where the difference is.
The problem is the government's not the best distributor of capital, as we have learned from Minnesota and California.
Okay, that's why we need our money back.
That's why JD is going to chase these people down, including Ilhan Omar and Timmy Minette, including Waltz, if he had anything to do with this.
Certainly looking the other way is, in my estimation, a big, big problem.
And we need to get it all back.
We talked about the market being lower today.
I do encourage you to go to my company, 76 Research, and look at those portfolios right now.
There's also concern right now that things could get a little bit dicey, right?
Which I, again, see as an opportunity because I'm a long-term believer in the USA.
I would never bet.
Against the US.
Even when Biden was there in the White House, I was still investing in the stock market because I really do fundamentally believe in this country and all of its opportunity for prosperity.
Anyway, some concerns today here.
I want to go to some video.
I think this is courtesy of Fox News.
And you can see that the USS Gerald's Ford aircraft carrier has entered the Mediterranean Sea through the Strait of Gibraltar.
And this is a military buildup that you're seeing there in Iran.
And it's because.
They won't disband their nuclear program.
And the president has been super clear on this, as have his proxies.
He's had Witkoff over there.
He's had Jared Kushner over there negotiating.
And basically, what it's come down to is Israel and the U.S. is saying, okay, you got to give this stuff up.
And if you don't give it up, then bad things are going to happen.
In fact, that was the president's direct quote, which is why you see now the U.S. gathering the most air power in the Middle East since the 2003 Iraq invasion.
The U.S. is ready to take action against Iran, but President Trump has not decided. whether or not to order those strikes, but they're actually sending the most military power that we've had there in years into the region to be prepared.
And as he said, bad things will happen.
So Iran, they've been put on notice.
You have the students there protesting in the streets in defiance of the Ayatollah and the administration that is trying to squash that.
You now have the President of the United States ensuring that bad things will happen if they don't acquiesce to these demands.
Watch.
Now is the time for Iran to join us on a path that will complete what we're doing.
And if they join us, that'll be great.
If they don't join us, that'll be great too.
But it'll be a very different path.
They cannot continue to threaten the stability of the entire region, and they must make a deal.
Or if that doesn't happen, I maybe can understand if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen.
But bad things will happen If it doesn't.
Yeah.
Okay.
Bad things will happen.
So, Iran, get with it, right?
We don't want bad things to happen in the world.
And we certainly don't want to move ourselves closer to the kind of scuffle that we may be inching closer to right now.
But, hey, did you not just see what happened in Venezuela?
And did I not just tell you guys?
I mean, think about the staging of all of this.
One thing I never understood about Biden, it was like the left hand was not talking to the right hand because they decided to sanction Russia, but they didn't bother having any kind of backup oil supply.
supply, right?
So they cut down all the oil drilling in the United States of America.
No drilling, no drilling.
I'm like, drill baby drill, like you need it, right?
Especially at a time when you're going to say no to Russia.
We're going to cut Russia off from the rest of the world.
What do you think is going to happen?
Energy prices are going to go skyrocketing.
And so this administration was smart.
Think about how you stage this out.
One, they said we're going to have all the drilling we want right here at home in the good old US of A. Two, we're going to go to Venezuela, the largest source of oil outside of Saudi Arabia.
I know it's heavy, it's tar-like, it's a pain in the neck to refine this stuff.
But we want to have a supply, not just here in the U.S., but we want to have a supply right here in our hemisphere, and that would be Venezuela.
So they go and they lock down Venezuela, and boy, did they ever, right?
Getting Maduro out in the dead of the night.
And now they've opened themselves up so they have this opportunity for a supply here in our Western hemisphere in the event that things get really dicey in Iran.
So if I'm Iran, I'm actually going to want to take him seriously.
But this is Iran after all.
Tariffs.
Tariffs are back in play.
You know, it looked a little sketchy there, a little dicey.
Supreme Court coming on in price and no way, Jose, you're not going to be able to charge the tariffs.
But if you read between the lines, actually, there's more opportunity than you'd think because there's a whole bunch of other provisions.
And the administration was very quick to point this out.
Of course, here's one glaring question, one big old question right now.
Everybody's like, well, what about the tariffs that have been going on?
What exactly happens to all that money that we have collected?
The president made this point that, yeah, you'd think with Supreme Court, with all the work they put into coming out with this decision might have tried to address this.
They didn't.
Do you have to refund $175 billion?
Think of it, Peter.
Very fair question.
They take months and months to write an opinion and they don't even discuss that point.
We've taken in hundreds of billions of dollars, not millions, hundreds of billions of dollars.
And so I said, well, what happens to all the money that we took in?
It wasn't discussed.
Wouldn't you think they would have put one sentence in there saying that?
Keep the money or don't keep the money, right?
I guess it has to get litigated for the next two years.
So they write this terrible, defective decision, totally defective.
It's almost like not written by smart people.
And what they do, they don't even talk about that.
Your question is very basic.
That was the first question I asked, also, to make you feel good.
I said, What about all the money that we've taken in?
Sir, they don't discuss that.
How crazy is that?
But I almost feel like he's covering his bases, right?
Because he's like, I'm going to up it to 15%.
He talked about 10% on Friday, and now he's like, No, no, no.
We're going to up it.
To 15%.
Don't forget, I think that was the original plan, right?
15% across the board.
I do think that there is more wiggle room than you think.
I believe we have some sound from Stephen Miller on this, and he's frustrated at the court, doesn't like the decision.
I'm going to just tell you guys, okay?
So privately, let me just tell you, my one concern about this decision was precedent.
So there are things in the law that allow for temporary tariffs, and the president has full jurisdiction to put those temporary tariffs in.
My concern about the full-on tariffs, I'll just be honest with you, is like, what if you got an AOC in there who, as Dawn Baca points out, really doesn't understand economics, despite getting a degree from Boston University in economics, okay?
I guess they only teach like communism, socialism.
She doesn't seem to understand what the beauty of capitalism is.
And, you know, I'm just going to say, like, as somebody who studied economics, didn't get a degree in it only because my calculus class wasn't going so well my first year at Columbia.
I didn't know that they graded on a curve.
I should have stayed in the class.
I would have been fine.
But anyway, I got nervous and I was like, ah, I need to get all A's, you know, me.
So I wound up just being full-on history, but did a ton of economics within that.
I have a lot of appreciation for the study of economics.
And there's something quite beautiful about it.
And the idea that anybody could be an economics major and come out of that and not love capitalism is bizarro to me, but that's AOC.
My concern is, what if, what if an AOC were to actually become president or a Gavin Newsom?
Or, I mean, we were close.
It could have been Kamala Harris, ladies and gentlemen, right?
If Kamala Harris had become president and she doesn't understand the first thing about the economy, will she use some of these tariffs, et cetera, in a way that would be really onerous to us overall?
That's where I start to get nervous because I'm like, okay, this president's good, but what do you do if you get a bad one in there?
And that's why you want to have this, you know, checks and balances.
You want to be able to have some kind of recognition that the president can't go too far.
And that's where we are right now.
So he does have other means.
And as Miller pointed out, these means are going to be exercised and used.
So you can thank the court for that.
Watch.
Justice Thomas said so brilliantly and eloquently, the language of the statute is clear.
Under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the president has the authority to regulate foreign trade.
And going back to the founding of our country, the term regulate has always meant and included the power to levy duties.
But here's the good news, Laura.
As cowardly, as horrendous as the Supreme Court ruling was, as poorly as it reflects on John Roberts's court and the continued torturing of our statutes and our Constitution, here's the good news.
The court also affirmed the president has the authority.
Under Section 301, Section 232, Section 122, Section 338, and many other provisions of federal law, the president can levy tariffs on foreign nations.
So his program will not only be fully reconstituted, but it will be expanded.
And one more point, Laura.
The Supreme Court also affirmed that under IEPA, the president has authority to restrict, impede, deny, license, or even fully embargo any foreign trade.
So the net result of all this is we're going to keep and grow.
The tariffs to bring back American manufacturing, which keeps prices low by incentivizing products to be made here in America, but it also means that President Trump has even more tools when it comes to dealing with foreign countries that undermine our security.
How do you like that?
And you know what?
Justice Kavanaugh backed him up in his dissent.
He wrote, and I quote, Although I firmly disagree with the court's holding today, the decision might not substantially constrain a president's ability to order tariffs going forward.
He wrote, That is because of numerous other federal statutes that authorize the president to.
the president to impose tariffs and might justify most, if not all, of the tariffs issued in this case.
Those statutes include, for example, the Trade Expansion Act of 1962.
This is section 232.
The Trade Act of 1974, sections 122, 201, and 301.
So the way they're thinking about this is that you could have a temporary ability to put some tariffs in, but it wouldn't be a blanket thing where you could just say, okay, for the next 10 years, this is how it's going to go.
And the Tariff Act of 1930, section 338.
So this would be more.
Administration dependent, which to me actually does make sense.
And the president's taken him up on the offer.
Listen.
Which have also been confirmed And they are fully allowed.
Therefore, effective immediately, all national security tariffs under Section 232 and existing Section 301 tariffs remain in place, fully in place, and in full force and effect.
Today, I will sign an order to impose a 10% global tariff under Section 122, over and above our normal tariffs already being charged.
And we're also initiating several Section 301 and other investigations to protect our country from unfair trading practices of other countries and companies.
Okay, this is actually really important when it comes to China.
So, Section 301 says wait a second, if you're being unfairly taken advantage of by another country, then you should be able to enact Section 301.
And this is, again, directly in retaliation to some of the things that China has done.
He's on fine firm ground.
I'm not concerned about that.
I think it's, you know, it is what it is in terms of the president not having the ability to move forward with all of these tariffs.
Supreme Court Justices React00:02:00
But, you know, as Neil Gorsuch points out, one of the Supreme Court justices here, he said, you know, legislation and legislating can be hard and take time.
And yes, it can be tempting to bypass Congress when some pressing problems arise.
But the deliberative nature of this legislative process was the whole point of its design.
Okay.
So that makes sense, guys.
I know that, you know, we don't.
We don't love it that he doesn't get his way, but you're talking about president here for the future.
So he's going to get his way.
He's going to get his way in the here and now.
As Kavanaugh points out, you know, there's all these other things that he can be looking at and they will look at and they will get accomplished.
But here's another important thing.
You know, think about everybody out there.
It's like, oh, the Supreme Court, they're just in the back pocket of this president.
If it weren't for, you know, a couple of the lefties, Sotomayor and the woman that everybody said was a DEI case.
I mean, when you hear her questioning sometimes and you look at her opinions, you're like, I'm sorry, but you know what?
Anyway, you've got a few of these lefties on there and everybody was like, everybody else is just going to go for him all the time.
And here's what I think this helps to prove out.
No, the Supreme Court is its own entity.
We do have the separation of powers.
That is intact.
So for all the lefties that are going to tell you, we need to stack the court because we got to get, you know, this balance changed.
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
And it also proves that all the lefties that are all over cable news saying, oh, the president does not have an independent court.
They're wrong too.
And my friend Scott Jennings pointed this out on CNN the other night.
I always like, this is the only show worth watching just to see Scott literally tackle them all down, like single handedly.
He's like Superman.
Boom, He takes them all out, like eight of them in one time.
Now, I'll tell you one more thing.
For every Democrat and every media person that has gone on for the last year or two about how this Supreme Court is a wholly owned subsidiary of Donald Trump, that it's not independent, that it does whatever he says to do, obviously that narrative was obliterated today.
New Hampshire Cash Deals00:12:01
So to me, I thought this was actually.
I thought the ruling was sound.
I think the president is sound to try other statutes.
And I think the narratives about the court not being independent and the president not obeying the court were totally blown up today.
Yeah.
Well, there you have it.
Okay.
So I look at this as a win-win.
We're still going to get the tariffs.
And we prevent future presidents from getting too much power.
So I think it's a good compromise.
What do you think?
Just curious.
Just curious.
Let me know.
Let me know.
Oh, just see the ice hockey game.
You know, I'm from New Hampshire.
So I grew up.
Figure skating, actually, because you know I'm a girl.
Yeah.
And I had a lovely little ice skating costume.
I was very reticent, though.
I never liked the jumping and the twirls.
And I'm like, this could go really badly, really fast.
Anyway, all the kids in the neighborhood, all the boys anyway, played ice hockey.
And we'd go down to Barclays Pond in New Hampshire after school every day.
And my friend and I, we'd do our little pirouettes, me quite sadly.
And all the guys would go out there and play ice hockey.
So I grew up in ice hockey.
Territory, and I'm so thrilled because it hasn't been since 1980 that we took the gold.
Um, so I'm thrilled for my country, I'm thrilled for this team.
The president was thrilled too, he called the guys.
I mean, this was great.
Imagine getting that call from the president.
Oh, oddly, the women's team they're not too happy, they also got gold.
I'm very happy for them too.
They had a more recent gold, uh, in recent years.
So the men's team it had all the way been since 1980, so that was a big deal.
And it's taking me back to my childhood a little bit.
But anyway, the girls team, they also won gold and they were also invited to come to the White House.
But they're turning that opportunity down.
Apparently they didn't like the way it went down with President Trump calling the guys when they won.
So they say that they have other commitments.
They've got school.
You know, the girls, they're always so much better at school, right?
There's a reason for that.
They're sticking to their commitments.
I'm just going to say if the president invites you for the State of the Union, you really ought to go.
I mean, it's kind of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
We're going to have coverage, by the way, of the State of the Union tomorrow night.
But anyway, take a look right here at the call.
The call, they got the call.
It was great.
Okay, I have my face in front of all the beer cans because I don't know what the rules are on YouTube for showing this.
And also, I think it's like a sponsorship.
I really do.
I think that like, I think it was Coors Light or somebody that did the deal.
They got like a sponsorship because it's very prominently displayed.
Yeah.
Anyway, we'll keep going because I think you want to hear the president's call with them in between the beer cans being opened.
Your goalie played not bad.
How are you doing, Dad?
I have seen hockey goalies have slightly worse games.
It was unbelievable, and you were all unbelievable.
And that team is pretty good you played.
I don't know if we're going to play it again anytime soon, right?
You know, I tell you what.
I just told my people two minutes ago, I didn't know they'd be calling.
I said, we're giving the State of the Union speech on Tuesday night.
I could send a military plane or something.
But if you would like to, it's the coolest.
I don't know how well you can hear this because the audio is not great.
He's speaking on the phone there with the team.
But he just said, listen, I just told my team there.
He's got Kash Patel, by the way, in the background.
We'll go to his video.
He said, listen, I'm going to send a military plane.
Why don't you come join me for the State of the Union?
Whoa, the team is like psyched.
We're in.
Listen to them.
We're in.
They don't even hesitate.
He said, we're going to get cash.
We're going to get the military.
You're going to be there.
I'm getting teary eyed listening to this.
I'm going to just go.
The boys are going to the State of the Union.
The nice thing about being president is I can tell you, you don't have to worry about the weather.
You don't have to worry about the weather or landing, right?
He's got it under control.
We don't care if it's snowing, if it's the worst blizzard.
It's snowing, it's the worst blizzard.
I know it's hard to hear, guys.
I'm sorry about that.
He was just speaking over a cell phone there with the guys from the U.S. hockey team.
Kathy's wondering where in New Hampshire I am from, because I'm talking about ice hockey territory.
She's from a small town called Derry.
I know Derry very, very, very well.
I am from.
Hampton, New Hampshire, born in Portsmouth, born and then raised throughout my life in New Hampshire.
I was even Miss New Hampshire, believe it or not.
Thank you, Mr. President.
He's still talking.
Okay, so this is why they're mad.
They don't want to be second fiddle.
He said, oh, you know, you'll come.
We'll do the White House.
He's planning out this whole great trip.
And he's like, oh, just so you know, we have to bring the women's team too, right?
It's only fair.
If he doesn't invite him, he's going to be impeached, he said.
Okay, so they're laughing.
I don't think they appreciated that very much.
I think they might be reading too much into it.
I really do.
I think they're reading too much into it.
You know, there's people that are suggesting that somehow he was making fun of women's hockey.
I know some of you guys are here in the chat making fun of women's hockey, but, you know, women's hockey, it's real, and I'm not going to make fun of it.
I mean, you know, times change.
We used to figure skate when I was a kid, but now the girls are playing hockey.
Okay, great.
And, you know, fine.
I'm not going to pick on women's hockey.
I could, but I'm not going to.
And he's not going to either.
And he invited them and everything.
But somehow I think they were a little offended, a little offended that they were kind of second fiddle because they didn't get the phone call in the locker room.
They didn't get the visit from Kash Patel.
Well, they couldn't really.
Okay.
So the president's planning this big time.
He's super excited.
Oh, and Cash.
Cash is there in the locker room.
So Cash is like an amateur hockey player, not from New Hampshire, but an avid amateur hockey player.
And he was caught whooping it up with the guys.
Do we have this video?
Yeah.
Okay.
So like I said, it's like a beer commercial.
Anyway, he's like, woohoo.
You know what?
Go USA.
We won.
We won.
This hasn't happened since 1980.
This is a big, big, big deal.
And he's so excited.
He's so happy.
And this video got out there.
Okay.
This video got out there.
And the left is like, What?
How dare he?
And they're going on about how much it costs to get him there.
And, you know, how is he back in the locker room with these guys with their flags?
And they really are mad.
So much so that poor Gavin Newsom, you know, who got 960 on his SAT and volunteered that he can't actually read.
That's why he never reads a speech.
He writes all kinds of things about him.
He's furious, right?
And so Cash reflects with, you know what, for the very concerned media, oh, the media was concerned too.
Like they're all flipping out, right?
Because Kash Patel's having a good time.
with Team USA, which actually feels kind of patriotic and kind of nice, especially at a time like this.
He says, for the very concerned media, yes, I love America.
And I was extremely humbled when my friends, the newly minted gold medal winners on Team USA, invited me into the locker room to celebrate this historic moment with the boys, greatest country on earth and greatest sport on earth.
Okay.
See, he loves it.
He loves it.
He loves it.
What's wrong with that?
He just wants to have a good time and enjoy this moment.
And I think so many in the country, they connected with that.
Right, like it's a moment of pride for this nation, and then the president knows that as well.
He's certainly going to take advantage of it, which is a good thing.
I want to go to an interview with Hughes, who was on Fox earlier today, talking about this moment.
We go in 10 years.
We're gonna try it again.
In 10 years, there's gonna be another Austin Matthews, there's gonna be another Matthew Kachuk, and another Quinn Hughes.
So that's why we play, and we want to, you know, leave USA hockey in a better place than it was when we first got there.
Yeah, you gotta love how he mentions one of his brothers, Quinn Hughes.
A few minutes before that, we heard from a few other players, including team captain Austin Matthews.
Here's what he had to say.
It still feels pretty surreal.
I mean, I don't think you really realize the magnitude of just everything that's going to happen in the last 24 hours.
That's just incredible what this team was able to accomplish.
And representing the U.S., obviously, it's an honor.
So we're ecstatic and we're excited to be back home celebrating.
It was such an amazing way to unite the country.
We felt the support being across the Atlantic and now being back on home soil.
We can feel it in the second wheels of the ground.
We'll keep an eye on this.
If any of those other players stop to speak at the airport, we're going to bring them.
You know where they're heading right now?
They're going to keep partying.
Team USA at the State of the Union.
I'm sure Cash is going to be seated with them.
We'll have to take a good look at them tomorrow night.
Listen, it's great news.
It's wonderful news.
We are so happy for them.
This is, you know, just one of those moments.
And so it's too bad that the women's hockey team is refusing to.
Go to the White House that you know their loss.
Okay, their loss It would have been better honestly for their overall sport for their overall mystique for the whole like overall Q factor Q factor Q factor You know, they talk about that in the in the TV or entertainment business in terms of notoriety like if people actually know them like everybody knows who Jack Hughes is and now you know it might have helped their sport But they're choosing to just take their ball and go home.
Okay fine I'm looking at my friend from New Hampshire.
Somebody else from New Hampshire.
What do you know?
It's a tiny little state.
I'm surprised we have that many here from New Hampshire.
But live free or die, baby.
I put it on my coffee cup.
It's good to have you guys here.
It's good to be back.
It's good to be back at home base.
I've been traveling in the Caribbean.
Gosh, I'm glad I was not traveling in Mexico.
You saw what went down in Puerto Vallarta, a great place.
Beautiful, beautiful town that I used to visit a zillion years ago when I was trying to get out of Sucs Francisco for the weekend.
We could take a quick flight.
To Puerto Vallarta and it had a gorgeous old town and nice beaches.
But apparently the uh kingpin for the, the drug cartel, was hanging out there and they got them and that has turned into a whole huge mess and it's very sad because there are a lot of American tourists that were there on winter break with their kids that are stranded now and cannot get out of Puerto Vallarta.
So we'll keep an eye on that story.
But a big congratulations, of course, to the men's hockey team and the women's hockey team as well.
I'm sorry they won't be at the White House or at the State Of the Union, but I'll be covering the State Of The Union, so I look forward to reconnecting with all of you guys, of course, live again on the show tomorrow and later for State Of The Union coverage.
I will see you tomorrow.
