CNN deleted a post about Pennsylvania teens bombing an anti-Muslim protest outside Mayor Zoran Manami's home, sparking FCC Chairman Brendan Carr's investigation into the network and ABC's The View. While host Trish critiques CNN's "woke" narrative regarding ISIS-inspired attackers, she highlights pending layoffs under Paramount CEO David Ellison and contrasts this with Representative Randy Fine's call to deport Manami. The episode also covers Senator Andy Ogles' controversial remarks on Muslims, FCC threats of fines for unbalanced programming, and Congresswoman LaMonica MacGyver's arrest facing up to 17 years for assaulting ICE officers, suggesting a broader crackdown on perceived liberal bias and immigration dissent.

CNN's Lousy Social Media Post00:15:30
CNN is in some hot water with the FCC and they're in hot water with basically the whole world after this really lousy social media post that they put up and then took down.
But it doesn't change the fact that we all saw it.
Plus, the FCC is circling the view.
I told you this.
It's been going on for quite a while, of course.
You all know that.
But it's interesting today because the FCC chairman, Brandon Carr, is making his first statements about his investigation into the view since the whole thing unfolded.
I'll tell you for the view, it could not have come at a worse time because they said some really lousy stuff.
On their air today, I mean, even especially lousy for them.
Plus, you know, first we were talking about Ilhan Omar, now they're talking about Ma'am Dami, yeah, you know, the comrade mayor in New York City, yeah, they're talking about deporting him, a member of Congress, making the call.
I'll get to that.
Plus, oh, La Monica, where have you been?
Oh, gosh, La Monica MacGyver back in the news, ladies and gentlemen, because you see.
LaMonica is really flipping out.
We're misspelling her name.
It's MacDiver with an I. Anyway, she is out with this last-ditch move to try and prevent herself from going to jail for 15 years.
So, you know, we have to talk about that here on the Trish Regan Show.
Welcome, everyone.
A special shout-out to the last Boy Scout who just got everyone a whole bunch of team membership.
So thank you for doing that.
You're much appreciated.
I saw that in the chat right before I came to live air.
Quick mention of, you know, my other company, the 76 research company, 76research.com.
Check it out.
Model portfolios, everything's doing great.
You know it's a tricky time.
I get it right.
Oil's been all over the place.
I think investors are kind of like, wait, which way do we go?
There's a lot of opportunity in there and we write about that regularly and we have three model portfolios.
Check out those numbers all beating the s?
P this year and and quite nicely, I might add.
So go check out 76research.com.
If you want to get the 76 report, use my code word dollar d-o-l-l-a-r.
If you want to get the 76 portfolios, even better, because that'll set you up well.
CNN is in hot water.
It deleted this really twisted, and I'm going to say it's just twisted post that it put out because it's talking about those two boys that nearly killed a lot of people at that protest over the weekend because they went there apparently inspired by ISIS and decided to throw a bomb into the crowd.
And CNN treated it like it was, you know, some kind of Robert Frost poem here.
Oh, two Pennsylvania teenagers crossed into New York City Saturday morning.
It's like Norman Rockwell, right?
We're just, you know, going for a nice little stroll into New York City.
Such a nice little excursion for what could have been a normal day enjoying the city during abnormally warm weather.
CNN, I'm sorry, that's quite a scene you're depicting there.
I mean, you're forgetting that these guys are terrorists.
Come on.
But in less than an hour, their lives would be drastically changed.
Oh my goodness.
As the pair would be arrested for throwing homemade bombs during an anti-Muslim protest outside of Mayor Zoran Manami's home.
Here's what we know so far.
I mean, can you believe that?
Yes, you can believe that, I know, because you're here.
You're watching me.
You're not watching CNN.
CNN is just, yeah, I'll tell you, the place is saturated with these woke liberals with a different ideology.
I guarantee you that you or me or any normal person out there, and they think somehow that they're going to be the apologists for these two that were trying to kill New Yorkers.
Not okay.
You may not agree with somebody's opinions.
It never justifies what effectively CNN is trying to justify here.
So what did they do?
They took it down, and then this morning they said, oopsie daisy.
A post regarding the two individuals that were arrested for throwing homemade bombs outside of New York City Mayor Zoran Mambami's home failed to reflect the gravity of the incident, thereby breaching the editorial standards we require for all of our reporting.
It has therefore since been deleted.
Well, not before the head of the FCC, Brendan Karsa, and this is a big deal.
Because don't forget, David Ellison, Paramount just bought CNN.
Okay?
So Paramount also owns CBS.
Which means, guess who has jurisdiction over CBS, the network?
Well, that would be Brendan Carr.
So you really don't want to tick them off now, do you, CNN?
Layoffs are coming.
We'll get to that in a second.
But first, listen to Brendan's reaction here at a discussion he was doing this morning with Breitbart.
Just today.
I mean, I could not believe it.
I woke up this morning and CNN has this tweet up about how these two innocent kids were traveling to New York City on a warm summer day.
Lo and behold, they found themselves caught with charges of terrorism for dropping effectively IEDs at a protest.
And CNN left that tweet up.
They've now deleted it.
But the story itself is still up there.
And again, it's whether that falls in the hoax bucket or the out of touch bucket.
I don't know.
But it's just time after time after time.
And that's why you see that trust in the legacy meeting just continuing to crater.
Yeah.
Right?
Like we don't trust the legacy media because the legacy media isn't looking out for our interest in any way, shape, or form.
He talked a lot about that.
I want to get into some more of his sound, but keep in mind, again, this was a big deal.
over the weekend you had these two wannabe ISIS terrorists.
I mean, they actually said that.
We're going to get to what the New York investigators are saying on this, trying to kill people because the people that they didn't like were people who were anti-Muslim and they were out there with an anti-Muslim protest.
And then you had actually a anti-Muslim protest also going on.
And these guys decided to go to the initial one, the smaller one that was anti-Muslim and throw that homemade bomb.
A bomb, okay?
Pretty bad.
And apparently they emulated the Boston Marathon bombers.
Here we go.
A little bit more video, you see?
They grew up in a nice house in Pennsylvania, apparently worth a couple million bucks.
The family immigrated here from Afghanistan however many years ago and obviously did quite well for themselves, right?
This is courtesy of some video from the New York Post.
And this is one of the guys.
Kayumi grew up in a 5,800 square foot home with six bedrooms and five bathrooms in it.
Pennsylvania, as you of course learned from the CNN story.
And then the other guy is 19 and his friend who is 18, Amir, traveled from their Bucks County enclave to the counter protest that was there for, you know, they had like one protest that was anti-Muslim and then the protest against that one.
You know, it's hard to keep up with all the protests.
Everybody wants to protest and then they made these things and the next thing you know, they're getting hauled off.
And when they're getting hauled off, this is kind of fascinating.
Let me see if, do we have this?
Yeah, look at that one, guys.
You see what that is that they're doing?
That shows that they are one with ISIS.
So people are kind of over it.
They're kind of sick of it.
And rightly so.
CNN, shame on you.
Seriously, shame on you.
I mean, what kind of ethics do you have?
I don't think you guys have any.
I think you've been so brainwashed.
And who the heck knows tweeted this thing?
Some little peon on your social media desk.
You think you might want to have some standards being a network and all?
Like, you know, you kind of have to rise to the occasion a little bit more.
Well, the FCC chair, he's kind of annoyed about this.
And he's looking at CNN and saying, well, they're so biased.
I mean, don't forget, they're so proud that they have a reporter in Iran right now.
But you had to get the agreement of the government in order to get the reporter in Iran right now.
So I would only caution that that reporter's probably not giving us 100% truth, right?
Because if he did, the Iranian government's not going to allow it, okay?
So, CNN, you can brag about having your reporter there all you want.
I don't trust any of your reporting, period.
And clearly, I don't trust it, given what I just saw there today and the little tweet that you had to take down and indeed apologize for.
So, this is what the world is up against right now.
We've got a mainstream media conglomerate that is so out of touch, that is so biased, that is so woke in their ideology.
And the good thing.
The good news is, right, you guys have found other methods.
You've come here, you support me, you come and watch this show, and I so appreciate you for that.
But the reality is at least we have more choices right now for so long.
You know, that was like the only game in town.
You didn't even realize how manipulated you really were.
Maybe you did.
A lot of people just got sick in the news.
They just didn't watch it anymore.
Well, I'm glad to have you here.
New calls to deport.
Mam Dami, Comrade Mam Dami, as I call him, new calls to deport him amid his reaction to the near fatal situation over the weekend in New York City.
Let's go to Randy Fine.
Mam Dami is a bad person.
He is an evil person, and he is not someone who should be a citizen of the United States, let alone the mayor of New York.
Woo!
Okay.
So, Representative Fine, conservative out of Florida, he was the first.
The first to call for Ilhan Omar to be deported because he thought that she was kind of just too radical for our country and we didn't need someone like that.
So, you know, he's now the first to call for Memdami to be sent away.
And, you know, there's a reason for it.
Whether or not it can happen, I mean, look, you'd have to somehow prove that there was fraud initially when he became a citizen.
So that's a pretty high bar, maybe less so with Ilhan Omar, you know.
You'd have to prove that somehow there was fraud in a marriage and so it might be challenging but nonetheless he's over the guy and it's partly because of this watch Good morning.
All right.
On Saturday, a protest was held outside Gracie Mansion, where I live with my wife, Rama.
Neither of us were home at the time.
This was a vile protest rooted in white supremacy entitled Stop the Islamic Takeover of New York City.
I'm the first Muslim mayor of our city.
Okay, do you hear that?
It was white supremacy.
White supremacy is to blame.
What about the guys that were trying to.
Kill a whole bunch of New Yorkers.
You know, the ones out for their little normal Norman Rockwell outing, according to CNN, the way they portrayed the whole thing.
Yeah, what about them?
Like, here's the reality of what happened, okay?
And I want to go back to Representative Fine for more on why he thinks this guy deserves to be deported from our country now.
Watch first the New York investigators.
He also told investigators that he had hoped to carry out an attack even bigger than the Boston Marathon bombing, which he noted resulted in only.
Three deaths.
As Kayumi was being placed into an NYPD vehicle following his arrest, a person in the crowd asked why he had done this.
As shown on NYPD body worn camera footage referenced in the complaint, Kayumi responded with ISIS.
And at the precinct, after being advised of his Miranda rights and waiving those rights, Kayumi said in recorded post arrest statements that he had watched ISIS propaganda on his phone and that his actions that day were partly inspired by ISIS.
The complaint also details statements made by Amir Balat after his arrest.
En route to the NYPD precinct, Balat made spontaneous statements without being questioned by NYPD officers that were captured on body-worn camera footage.
He said, This isn't a religion that just stands when people talk about the blessed name of the Prophet.
We take action.
We take action.
As well as, if I didn't do it, someone else will come and do it.
Oh, ouch.
Okay, so, like, that is just sick stuff, okay?
Sick stuff.
And his reaction, the mayor's reaction, was not a normal reaction.
It's the reaction of somebody who clearly is on the side that you and I are definitely never going to be on.
And this is setting up a serious tension, which, again, going back to the representative from Florida, the first to say we need to get Ilhan Omar out of the country, he's now saying this guy's got to go because he is.
A bad person, a dangerous person, bad for New York, bad for America.
Representative Randy Fine, watch.
Do you have words to respond to this, sir?
Well, I have one word.
It's deport.
I mean, the fact of the matter is Mundami hates America, hates the Judeo-Christian civilization that we have here.
You know, we're allowed to protest whatever we want.
We hear this all the time from the left.
When they were doing all this ridiculous stuff on our college campuses, people like this jerk mayor talked about how they had a First Amendment right to say whatever they want.
That's not the issue.
The issue is two Muslim terrorists who were inspired by ISIS, who traveled to the Middle East, threw bombs at people.
That is the issue.
You're allowed to say whatever you want in this country.
You're not allowed to throw bombs.
But Mandami is covering for the Muslim terrorists that he supports, whether it's in the Middle East or whether it's in America.
He should be stripped of his citizenship and he should be deported.
Yeah, and I would like to also mention his wife.
Liking dozens of posts celebrating what happened on October 7th.
These people, they are who they are.
They've never hidden it.
But go ahead, sir.
Well, they rub it in your face.
I mean, he wanted to say his wife's a private person.
She's irrelevant.
But then he had to bring her up, I would note, in that little statement that you played.
They're laughing at us.
It is part of the core tenet of their faith, the idea of tequila, the idea of lying and being manipulative to push the faith on us.
Mandami is a bad person.
He is an.
evil person and he is not someone who should be a citizen of the United States, let alone the mayor of New York.
This made me feel really sad for New York actually today because, you know, I lived a lot of my adult life there.
Thank goodness I don't live there anymore for a variety of reasons, but, you know, a big part of that is this guy.
You know, I just can't imagine having a mayor like that.
I don't know how the heck he ever got elected.
It was really kind of a dumb, scary move.
But anyway, here he is in Gracie Mansion, you know, where he's got all the staff.
Yeah, I mean, he's even looking at making renovations, like putting in bidets.
Fancy schmancy guy that he is.
His wife apparently has something to do with that too.
They're hosting here this guy who's a problem, like a serious, serious, serious problem.
Hosting a Serious Problem00:15:23
They're hosting last night for dinner the guy who started all the protests at my alma mater, or I don't even recognize it anymore, Columbia University in New York City, and got to the point where they had to repeatedly shut the campus down.
The president of the university got fired and then the next president of the university got fired.
I mean, it's been bad.
And DHS is deporting him.
Okay, so Tom Holman is like, you screwed up on your documentation when you came here.
And Marco Rubio is like, we don't need you people.
We don't need the rabble rasers trying to get our kids all worked up.
By the way, you're like 35 years old.
What are you doing hanging out with a bunch of 18 and 19 year olds on Columbia University's campus trying to radicalize everyone?
And yet, Mamdami brings him to his house to have dinner with him to celebrate, what was it?
The end of some.
Some, oh, they're breaking a fast together, one of their holidays.
Anyway, here we go to Fox News reporting on the story earlier.
Mamdami hosting controversial anti Israel activist Mahmoud Khalil for a Ramadan dinner at the mayor's mansion last night.
Khalil, a former grad student at Columbia who was one of the key figures spearheading anti Israel protests in Manhattan, was arrested by ICE a year ago, facing potential deportation after the president, after the Trump administration accused him of.
Committing fraud on his green card application.
Fraud on the green card application.
Okay.
Yeah.
You're done.
Like, I'm just waiting for him to finally get the heave-ho from DHS and from Marco Rubio.
It's like, we're just not dealing with it.
Anyway, you know, someone was pointing out, and this is the truth of it, why not, like, have somebody like this, like Chief Aaron Edwards, who actually was chasing down these guys, was going after the bad guys?
Why not invite him to dinner?
Wouldn't that actually.
Be more meaningful than inviting the kid who, the kid, forgive me, the full-grown, middle-aged, middle-aged in his 30s guy who is nothing but a you know what disturber, who decides to destroy Columbia University and attack, actually attack, the Jewish kids on campus and and, by the way, everybody else that's not Muslim, like him okay, or like accepting of the Muslim, like I have to wear, like a scarf or something if I go join your protest.
I'm i'm sick of this, guys.
I'm sick of it.
It makes me so unhappy to see that New York has succumbed to this, And it makes me unhappy.
You know, look, they all go on about feminism.
They're all these big, big feminists out there.
They care about women.
You don't care about women.
Certainly not in that society.
You're out there, you know, cheering them on.
Are you kidding me?
Like a civilization, a society that treats women the way they do.
Anyway, this is who you needed to invite to dinner, okay?
You needed to invite Chief Aaron Edwards, Assistant Chief Aaron Edwards to dinner.
Maybe the president will do it.
Did you see this video?
It's in slow-mo.
We put it in slow-mo for you.
You can see he just jumped right over that barricade.
To go after the bad guys, because you know what.
That's what real men do, and we get a lot of real men and real women in our New York City police department.
So listen uh, that that guy's a real hero, a true, true hero.
And instead Memdami invites the loser.
Well, maybe Memdami shouldn't be invited to be in our country anymore.
I realize that's like next to impossible, all right, so it's like wishful thinking.
I get it.
I think we've got better luck with Ilhan Omar and a whole bunch of fraudsters getting there.
You know what's right out of town.
But It's worth looking into this guy more and more and more, because I don't trust him.
I don't trust him at all.
We got a new crisis as well for Mr. Mamdami.
Mayor Mamdami, Comrade Mamdami, has himself surrounded by crazy people.
His wife, who's out there liking every single October 7th social media post that she can find.
I don't even want to say, because it's a real downer.
I get it.
Let's just say, like, any woman that would do that is a sick, twisted woman.
Sick and twisted.
And now he's got an intern who's trying to rally up people saying, How gangsta are you?
I want you to join my cause.
And then she cites, like, a bunch of prophet stuff and, you know, her religion.
For goodness sake, she wants a jihad against America because we're fighting Iran.
This is who Mamdami surrounds himself with.
Remember it.
Watch.
We don't want to get doxxed and we don't want to get suspended and we don't want to get arrested.
How gangsta are you?
That's just my question.
How much are you willing to do it?
And I know everyone has their own risk levels, but at the end of the day, that's a question to ask ourselves.
How committed am I to this?
To what extent of my personal material gains am I willing to sacrifice for this bigger noble cause?
And SubhanAllah, I truly believe that when your heart is in the right place, If you get suspended, if you get doxxed, because it's bound to happen when you're doing a righteous cause and when you're doing something for the sake of Allah here in the West, it will never, ever be in vain.
And the true believer does not fear that because the true believer knows that the Akhirah is a promise.
Okay, I'm sorry, it's a violent religion.
Don't take my word for it.
Dr. Zudi Jasser, great guy, he's like a real doctor.
We used to have him on my Fox show all the time.
And Zudi has tried to push some kind of reform within Islam because Islam is so violent and so bad.
And he's like, you know, as a society, you just can't exist like that.
As a world, we can't exist where we have this.
this faith of Islam, which is absolutely at odds with the Judeo-Christian philosophy.
So that's coming to a head, I mean, clearly, in the world right now, given what is going on in Iran.
Given what is going on in Iran, immigration is a very topical issue at this moment.
Senate hearings underway today where they are tackling the issue of immigration.
And some people have been pretty outspoken.
Here's a congressman, actually, Andy Ogles, and he says Muslims don't belong in American society.
Pluralism is a lie.
I mean, he's just saying, you know, the religion, I guess, is that messed up.
That's that.
And unless, well, I'm pontificating for him.
Unless they can fix it, really, they're not going to have much of a future here.
He may take it a step further.
I don't know.
But let's go back to his tweet.
He was just piled on by every single representative and every single senator and Gavin Newsom, who's hoping he's going to be the Democrat nominee.
They all attacked him.
Hakeem Jeffries, every single one of them came out of the woodwork to go after Representative Andy Ogles out of Tennessee.
He followed up saying, you know, Hakeem.
Gavin Newsom and the high-ranking Democrats flooding X to condemn me, a Muslim shot and killed three Americans in Texas.
Two Muslims tried to blow up New York City.
Meanwhile, all DHS counterterrorism programs are unfunded because you shut them down.
And isn't that the truth?
Isn't that the truth?
I mean, think of how disgusting that is right now.
These people shut this down at a time when we're at war and we have homeland threats.
Hakeem Jeffries writing, Andy Ogles is a clown and a pathological liar who has fabricated his whole life story.
I mean, disgusting Islamophobes like you do not belong in Congress, blah, You know, I think Andy's kind of upset because he's looking at the reality of the situation right now on the ground.
I hate to be the realist here.
But he's right.
I think we had a situation in D.C. as well where you had some people of some extremist faith.
You know, it's not okay.
And there's a prototype.
And the question is, why do you keep just saying we're going to take it?
We're going to roll over and play dead?
It's not okay.
And nobody wants to admit this.
I mean, this is an unbelievable, unbelievable discussion back and forth between this junior Ohio senator who's kind of up and coming.
He's known for being smart and having some good information to go after his.
Guests.
I don't know what you would call them.
I guess the people you're cross-examining.
It's the TV in me.
All those years in TV, my guest.
Anyway, he's got this guy on there who's apparently from the National Economic Council of the Biden-Harris administration.
And today he's asking him a bunch of questions about immigration in these Senate hearings.
And the guy is like speechless.
He can't say anything.
It's unbelievable to watch this.
I mean, I don't know why.
Do you think it should be a crime to enter the country illegally?
I don't know anything about this.
I'm here to talk about budgets.
No, no, no.
You don't have to look.
I'm not a lawyer.
You don't have to be a lawyer.
It's a simple question.
Should it be a crime?
I'll say it slowly.
Should it be a crime to enter the United States of America illegally?
I don't know.
Without permission?
Do you have a home?
I run.
Do you have a place that you sleep in?
Yes, correct.
Okay.
Should it be a crime for people to enter your home without permission?
Yes.
You're pretty certain on that one?
Yes.
Okay, but you're not sure if it's okay to enter America without permission, which is our home, by the way.
You don't know about America.
Okay, gotcha.
All right, so this is the best the Democrats can come up with, Mr. Chairman.
I hope the ranking member can listen for just a second, if you don't mind.
This is the best witnesses you've got.
A guy who can't distinguish whether it's okay to have people enter our country illegally.
Of all the millions of people that you could have chosen to testify, to my good knowledge.
Finish.
The best you have is a guy who has no idea what our immigration law is and isn't sure if somebody should enter the country illegally.
I just had to show you that.
I mean, it's really, it's pathetic.
It's true.
It's like, this is the best you guys can do.
That's a pretty sad moment when that's all you can offer up.
And this is an important time.
We are striking Iran.
We know of more than 5,000 strikes that have gone down.
We know that we are ahead of schedule.
There's some optimism there.
Apparently, a lot of groups want this solved, so to speak.
There's some talk out there that Russia has intervened and pleaded with the president to stop this.
I think he's just committed to one thing and one thing only, and that is making sure that we are in charge of whoever is going to be the regime over there, because we don't want these ayatollahs.
We don't want these extremists.
We don't want the religious nutjob zealots.
No, no, no, no.
You've got to get somebody who's secular there, who understands you want to join the world economy.
You want to do business with us.
Fine, Donald Trump would say.
Great, but you know, you got to do it without all the crazy overhang of what they got going on.
Listen to Donald Trump talking about the possibility of any kind of attack here in the homeland and think about what's going on right now in Congress where they are refusing, refusing to fund DHS.
Watch.
Has Iran activated any sleeper cells inside the U.S.?
There's reports that they have pressed that trigger button to activate those cells at least.
Abroad.
Well, we've been trying for a long time.
We've been very much on top of it.
One of the things we have to do is get the Democrats to stop the Democrat shutdown, because as you know, the apparatus that looks into that, Schumer and the Democrats have shut it down, which tells you they probably hate our country a lot.
But the Democrats have to open that up.
But we've got very, very good intelligence into that.
We know a lot of different things that have happened that have been very bad.
A lot of them came in during the Biden open border period.
But we have them under, we've got them, we're watching every single one of them.
Yeah, we know a lot about them.
The biggest problem we have is the Democrat shutdown.
We know a lot about them, but the shutdown doesn't allow us to do what we have to do.
Yeah.
So he's upset about that, and rightly so, rightly so.
You know, he can't figure out why he can't get more Democrats on board to the point where, you know, he's looking at Chuck Schumer, who used to be so pro-Israel, and suddenly, Chucky Boy is standing up for the other side.
This is kind of funny, Donald Trump, on Chuck Schumer being really a registered Palestinian.
We're going to save America.
The save America.
How can they fight us?
The Save America Act.
And I've watched them.
I watched Schumer, who's horrible.
What a horrible politician.
He is now a Palestinian officially.
He is registered as a Palestinian.
He's a proud.
He's taken the biggest turn of any human being I've ever seen.
He's gone from totally pro Israel to totally pro Palestinian.
He wants to protect the Iranian people that are quite nasty.
Yeah.
So, The president's up against a lot.
I mean, he's got Jackie Boy, who's the registered Palestinian, then he's got Elizabeth Warren, who smells blood.
She's like, ah, I have the ability to control some money on this one, and I'm going to use it.
I mean, forget about the fact that you ought to be looking out for the people.
You ought to be able to make sure that you're funding DHS so that you have a Homeland Security Department that's able to confront anything that may be coming our way.
But nonetheless, here you go with From the Palestinian to Pocahontas.
I'm teasing.
The war that makes us safer for the Trump administration.
To say over and over, there's no money for health care, there's no money for child care, there's no time to pay attention to how families are paying more, but there's a billion dollars a day to go to the Middle East and drop bombs on Iran for military purposes that no one can describe and that no one can explain how merely from dropping bombs from the air we will accomplish those ends.
No, no more money.
The one thing Congress has the power to do.
It is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse.
The military already has a trillion dollars.
The military already cannot pass a simple audit on where that money is.
And for the Trump administration to come back and say, shovel billions more into a war in Iran that is not supported by the American people and does not make us safer, makes no sense at all.
So I will be a no.
I see, I see.
So it kind of makes you wonder where their loyalties are.
I showed you yesterday the 53 Democrats, you know, Ilhan Omar leading the charge there, the 53 Democrats that wouldn't go so far as to even reaffirm that Iran is a state sponsor of terror.
Military Funding and Loyalties00:05:57
We know it is.
That's been well documented.
I mean, they did this like just a couple years ago when Biden was in office.
They had no problem.
The whole vote was like just whatever it was to one.
And yet now this is what was Ilhan the one?
I don't know, but like now we're dealing with this because they have serious, serious.
TDS, like this is TDS 2.0, and that's a much bigger, stronger case than the original TDS back the first time around.
It's unbelievable.
And they just said, oh, we're going to deport, we're going to, forgive me, we're going to deport.
We're going to defund, defund, defund, defund.
Here's Jayapal, Representative Jayapal on a bunch of nonsense.
I'm going to tell you why she's just dead wrong.
We really need to, As soon as we get the gavels back, we have to dismantle DHS and ICE and CBP.
And we have to reconstruct them to what they really should be doing.
Remember, don't let people tell you that these are agencies that have always existed and they need to exist.
They didn't exist before 9 11.
Wrong, And I got a great little graphic right above my left hand shoulder to show you.
You have customs, right?
1789, you get INS.
It started in 1891.
By the way, 1790, the Revenue Cutter Service.
Anyone know what the Revenue Cutter Service was?
It's like a game of trivia.
See how many historians I have out there.
It turns out the Revenue Cutting Service was actually the original Coast Guard.
Uh-huh, uh-huh.
So all of these things wind up eventually getting funneled into what we now know in modern day as DHS.
But we had every single one of them.
Okay, like they all existed in some way, shape, or form as entities onto their own.
So in some ways, they were more nimble and probably more powerful.
And then after 9-11, they decided to combine them all because they wanted to make sure that, you know, the left hand was talking to the right hand, etc.
So they merged, okay, to use a business phrase.
They all merged and they became DHS.
But they're a bunch of, you know, know-nothings sitting there trying to tell us that this was not ever around, that it didn't exist, that this is all a modern creation.
It's wrong.
It's just flat out wrong.
And Jayapal, you ought to know better.
Or maybe you don't.
I mean, because I realize that a lot of you just aren't that bright.
I mean, if you were smart, you wouldn't be a Democrat.
Although they may have something figured out that I don't know about, right?
You know, you look at those Minnesota fraudsters, and I'm telling you, Ilhan Omar, I find that so suspicious.
The $250 million for feeding our future.
And then suddenly she's worth $30 million, and her hubby's got this VC firm.
He's already been accused of fraud on multiple occasions.
I think there's there, there.
We'll do more on that tomorrow, but I want to go back to the Strait of America.
It kind of has a nice ring to it, right?
You see, we have the Strait of Hormuz there, and it's not letting anything through right now, and that's been a big concern.
We're going to get to the CNN story in a minute, but first, the Strait of Hormuz.
Oh, maybe, what am I?
Yeah, I think, oh, yeah, here he is.
Okay, I do want to do this story, guys.
because this is important.
Actually, we've had a few different things going on on this one.
We just have the wrong lower for you.
Here we go.
See, this is how you know it's a live show.
I'm such a perfectionist.
I would never allow that if it were taped.
It's actually the entire reason I do a live show, because I'm such a perfectionist that we would have a hard time turning the show every single day.
I'd say, fix that, fix that, fix that.
And now I just have to wing it.
And you get to see the good, bad, and the ugly.
But anyway, Donald Trump coming out just a short time ago, maybe about an hour, hour and a half ago, and said, I am pleased to report that within the last few hours, We have hit and completely destroyed 10 inactive mine-laying boats and or ships with more to follow.
President Donald J. Trump.
So the Strait of Hormuz is a very, very important little narrow passageway of water that's right next to Iran.
And Iran has kind of had this clout, if you would, because they have that.
And so Donald Trump wants to control it.
He wants to lock that thing down and make it, I don't know, shall we call it the Strait of America?
It kind of has a nice ring to it.
Of course, everybody's out there on social media putting these pictures up.
We saw oil all over the place today.
Oil was plummeting earlier in the day because we had Chris Wright, who's our energy secretary, say this.
I'm going to play it for you, but I'm going to qualify this by letting you know that Caroline Levitt said he was misspoken.
It's not true.
But at least understand why the markets for oil, that is, were so wild today.
Here we go.
We are having restrictions of flow of energy through the Straits of Hormuz right now.
We announced that we will step into the insurance market and ensure tankers to go through.
A large oil tanker went through about 36 hours ago.
I think you will see more of those coming.
So apparently, they haven't gotten one through yet.
So that's why we saw such volatility in the markets and in oil because it looked like, okay, wow, like they're getting it through.
All's going to be good.
And, you know, hey, they control 20% of the global supply.
Heck.
We got a lot of oil right here at home though.
That's the good news.
And we got Venezuelan oil.
So we'll be fine.
You know, China, not so much.
India, not so much because they get their oil from these guys.
Somebody said, hey, why not call it the Straits of Trump?
That's kind of an inverted look at the map that I just showed you.
There's Strait of Hormuz, Strait of America, Strait of Trump.
We shall see.
I'll tell you, we're going to have a lot of influence before it's all said and done.
A reminder, if you're looking at this market and saying, wow, like this is a lot of volatility.
The Strait of Trump00:07:32
What do I do?
Well, I'm a long-term investor, unlike our friend Don Baco, who's here in the chat right now.
And he's in and out in everything.
Five times a day because he's a trader and that's what traders do.
But if you're a long-term investor, like me, you want to buy and hold and typically that works out well in the end, if if you find the right companies to begin with, so we can help you do that.
At 76 Research we have three portfolios.
All of them have done enormously well, all beating the s?
P, and just look at some of the stars there in that.
Uh well, I love the inflation protection portfolio.
I know it doesn't sound exciting, but I mean it's on fire.
Materials stock, the top one up 139.
So check it out when you can.
CNN firings, they're coming.
Get ready, CNN, get ready.
Jake Tapper, Anderson Cooper, oh, you already got fired from the CBS job.
Or you guys decided to part ways, right?
Which to me means they couldn't pay you what you were making and you just went away.
And now you're back at CNN where you may get fired again because now CBS owns CNN.
And you see, as I told you about earlier in the program today, CNN has a little teeny bit of a problem because they decided to put out a post today that caught the attention of the head of the FCC.
And you don't want to get the attention of the head of the FCC.
I mean, it's fine, I guess, if you're CNN because he doesn't have any jurisdiction over CNN.
But guess what?
He has a ton of jurisdiction over CBS.
And because he has that jurisdiction over CBS and CBS and CNN are combining with the Paramount, Time Warner, forgive me, Warner Brothers division, that means you are going to now have Brian and Carr breathing down your back.
So you don't want to do stuff like this too.
Pennsylvania teenagers crossed into New York City Saturday morning for what should have been, it could have been a normal day and joined the city during absolutely warm weather, abnormally warm weather.
But what do you know?
It turns out they're terrorists.
It takes them a while to get there because they're just painting the Norman Rockwell version of this for you and they had to issue an apology.
So CNN under fire after issuing an apology for its ludicrous social media post that was completely out of touch.
Some would say pretty twisted.
And now they're like, oops, oopsie daisy.
We didn't mean to do that.
Well, I guess you just showed us who you really are, right?
And that person's going to get the heave-ho like right away.
And many, many more.
Many more because David Ellison has made it very clear.
This is the guy who runs Paramount.
He happens to be the son of Larry Ellison.
He just bought CBS as well as a whole lot of other stuff and CNN.
He has said, My goal is to make people trust the news more.
Well, how are we going to trust the news when that's the viewpoint of the news organization, CNN?
So, yeah, they're going to be in trouble.
I mean, Brandon Carr points out, rightly so, that these guys are so far out over their skis with no clue about the reality that is America today.
Watch.
Drastically out of touch.
You see, you know, after the U.S. men's hockey team wins a Historic gold medal.
You see ABC journalists saying that the U.S. men's hockey team really missed the cultural moment because they spent time with the president of the United States.
Or you see, you know, Time magazine, I think before the Olympics, ran the sort of CCP aligned skier on their cover.
So it's just this one feature of it is drastically out of touch.
A second feature is consistently being exposed for running hoaxes that go in one direction year after year after year.
Mostly peaceful protests.
Biden is of sound mind.
Covington.
Catholic, Russia go, Russia go, Russia gate.
I mean, the list of these hoaxes that the legacy meeting was running went on and on and on.
Yeah.
At some point, it gets a little much.
And so, knowing that Paramount's coming in, knowing that they want to actually get back to some basis of normal, you know that there's going to be a lot of people that go.
I mean, you're already seeing every day there's like another one that gets.
picked off at CBS.
They're all leaving either on their own accord or Barry Weiss is like, yeah, you know what?
We don't need you.
I said she's going to have to clear out the entire darn place.
I've worked there.
I know what it's like.
There's a mentality, right?
And it's been there for generations.
And so if you're going to really change the culture of a place, you're actually going to have to just decimate it, totally just wipe it clean and start over from scratch.
You know, they're so partisan.
And this has been exposed over and over, whether it be at CBS, whether it be at CNN, whether it be at ABC News.
Another thing.
The Brandon Carr, thank you to Breitbart for doing this discussion with him earlier today.
Yeah, it's really remarkable how hell bent they are on their own ideology.
I mean, at least, you know, if that's how you feel, for goodness sakes, go work at MSNBC.
I mean, at least I worked at Fox, so you knew where I stood, right?
But when you're masquerading around and you have only one viewpoint and you're pretending you're the journalist with the capital J, enough already.
Watch.
You have a lot of sort of straight news journalists.
That sit on the evening news, and then when they eventually lose their job, the mask falls and they show you who they really are, whether it's Don Lamont or Jim Acosta or Dan Rather, Terry Moran.
You know, once they sort of stop sitting behind that anchor desk, they show you that they're really just partisan actors.
I think that just undermines the credibility of the other people then that take their place in the scene.
So now we know.
Okay, they're a bunch of crusaders, right?
In their own right.
That's the truth of it.
So what's happening at CNN?
Well, they got a lot of bloat.
They got a lot of people they don't need.
The job is changing.
And Ellison's coming in with all this technology.
He wants to reinvigorate things and change it around and also have the public trust CNN again.
Well, that's going to take a while, shall we say.
But, you know, it's worth having aspirations, shall we say.
Here is David Ellison speaking on CNBC recently about his goals for CNN as he's asked by my former colleague there, David Faber, whether people at CNN should be nervous.
Short answer, yes.
David, me again.
You know, unfortunately, the world we live in has a political overlay on almost everything going on in the corporate world, certainly when it comes to news organizations.
And there is certainly a perception andor a fear perhaps that once you take control of CNN and given the changes you've made at CBS, that you will be more beholden to the Trump administration.
Can you address that potential fear, at least on the part of many?
Yeah, no, David.
So look, I've said this since the beginning, which is, you know, when it really comes to editorial independence, it will absolutely be maintained.
It's maintained at CBS, it'll be maintained at CNN.
And really, who we want to talk to is the 70% of Americans and really around the world that identify as center left, that center right.
And we want to be in the truth business, we want to be in the trust business, and that's not going to change.
Sorry for the pause.
I was so busy reading your comments and putting them on the screen.
Broadcasting for the Public Good00:13:14
Oh, a piece of my mind says, Trish has been the same yesterday, today, and always.
Thank you for that.
It's important to me that, you know, one stays consistent to one's values.
And, you know, I don't know what to think of all these people in media now, even in new media, in podcasts that, you know, used to say one thing and now say something else entirely.
And it seems to be that they're off to one thing and one thing only.
Well, maybe two things.
that have something to do with each other, say clicks and money.
But actually clicks are money.
So, okay.
You know what?
We do really well here on The Trish Regan Show.
I'm proud of how we do and that's really good.
And, you know, we have some big days and we have some not so big days.
But at the end of every day, I know that I can look myself in the mirror and say, I presented a show that is true to my very core.
And I'm not sure that many people, it seems, some of them, but not many, can actually do that nowadays.
I'm in a fortunate position.
I don't have to do this.
I'm not like everybody else.
I've had a very good career and I've been very smart with my money.
So I have some flexibility perhaps that others do not have.
However, I really think you need to be You.
And if you're willing to do something for a buck, then shame on you.
It's a disgusting trait.
And too many of them, and you know exactly who I'm talking about, are like that today.
Speaking of doing something for a buck, I get an advertiser.
Hey, I told you we're doing well, right?
We got to support our advertisers.
I love my advertisers here.
And you know what?
It makes it good because I don't, it's nice to get tons of viewers.
But in a way, you don't always have to, not every single day, right?
Because we have these wonderful folks like our friends at Balance in Nature.
And I do take this and I do love it.
And I actually think it's really important to take your vitamins and to drink lots of water and to go for walks.
I actually go to the gym every morning.
I lift.
I'm going to get some real muscles.
Anyway, you got to take care of yourself.
And Balance in Nature, for me anyway, is part of that.
You know, they have a tremendous amount of fruits and veggies.
They've got a very scientific approach to this.
I don't want to bore you with all the science, but they've got these like phytonutrients.
they freeze it and they lock in all that good stuff.
And so when they make it into the actual stuff that you put on your food or you put in your drink, you have all those nutrients right then and there.
And so I know when I take my fruits and veggies, I'm getting at least 37 different fruits and vegetables every day that I would never have the ability to get on my own outside of that.
So I appreciate them as a sponsor.
And if you are interested, I highly encourage you to check them out at balancinnature.com.
Use my code.
It helps me.
It'll help you because you'll get a discount at balanceofnature.com with code word Trish.
The View.
The View is back in the news, ladies and gentlemen, as the FCC chair, Brendan Carr, makes his very first comments about this show since he launched an investigation into The View.
They have an overall investigation going on into ABC News, and The View is, of course, part of that.
But a few weeks ago, when The View thought it would be really fun to put Jasmine Crockett on one day.
Bye-bye, Jazzy, by the way.
Bye-bye.
She's, you know, she's no more.
She did not win.
James Tallarico won that round, and James Tallarico also got to do a little appearance on The View.
You know, all 12 years of him.
Seriously, he looks like he's 12.
And by the way, he says the most idiotic things.
One of these days I'm going to play you some clips, but I mean, let's just suffice it to say the guy is a woke idiot who, I'm telling you, isn't going to get to first base in Texas.
One would hope not.
But then again, you know, Mamdami's mayor in New York, so I've got to be careful.
Anyway, The View, they were called out again today by the FCC chair.
And so the FCC chair is there doing this conference with Breitbart today, making all kinds of interesting comments.
And at the same time, you had The View going on in their live show in New York, making all kinds of asinine comments, one of which came from Joy Behar about how she'd love to see the United States start a revolution, a revolution against Trump, a la la French Revolution.
Watch.
What did you got there?
I feel like we're living in the reign of terror.
Am I the only one here to remember the French Revolution?
I mean, I really feel like every day I wake up and he has created more chaos, more misery around the world.
The economy is going down the toilet, gas prices are going through the roof, world economies are suffering.
And we're in the middle of this, and I feel like we're pretty much helpless to do anything because the Republican Party will not stand up to this fall.
Yeah, that's all.
Hmm.
Yeah, she wants something to happen.
We got to do something.
We got to do something.
She's saying that something has to change.
Well, you know, the problem with that show, and look, you're welcome to have your opinion.
Don't get me wrong.
It's just that unfortunately they only have the same opinion.
You know, they have five people typically on that show.
One, two, three, four, five.
Yes.
And they never have a balance.
It's always joy and whoopee and sunny.
and I don't know the rest of them, but they all kind of dominate the conversation with their nonsense.
And the problem is when you start inviting candidates on on top of that and you just bring Democrat candidates on, you are in violation of a multitude of things because the FCC controls the airwaves for all those little local affiliates.
They're the ones that give them sort of the license to use the airwaves.
It doesn't exist like this in cable, but it does at ABC, ABC the network.
So a little, you know, podunk affiliate in Timbuktu.
says, hey, I want to have an ABC News affiliation.
And they get that affiliation courtesy of the FCC.
And the FCC says, okay, we'll give you this, but here's the deal.
You have to make sure that you are there for the public good.
So sure, you can obviously make money and you can run all kinds of different programming, but you need to be there for the public good.
And so the big programmers like the ABCs of the world or the CBSs of the world, they come in and they got all the programming and they say, here you go, little affiliate.
If you're my ABC affiliate, you're going to run that stuff.
And so you take it, you run it.
And in some cases, over the last few years, the affiliates feel like they don't really have any say because they sign a contract with ABC.
ABC says, we're going to give you all our programming.
We're going to produce it.
We'll give you news.
We'll give you The View.
We'll give you Jimmy, whatever the heck his name is at night, you know, and here you go.
And then the affiliates are like, oh, okay.
And they pay for it too.
But sometimes that programming is not so good and they haven't had a leg to stand on because the way the contracts work.
They have to broadcast this stuff.
Let's go back to Brendan Carr saying this has got to change, and he is making it his mission to start to change this in order to give these little stations a little bit more power.
Broadcast television is fundamentally different than any other means of distributing programming because they are licensed fundamentally by the FCC.
You have to operate in the public interest.
And when the FCC licenses a broadcast television station, again, different from cable.
Different from streaming, different from YouTube, different than newspapers.
You're licensed by the FCC.
That means the government has picked a winner, and the people denied the microphone are effectively losers.
And so the FCC uses what's been referred to over the years as a public trustee model.
When you are a broadcaster, you're not just looking out for your own narrow partisan interest.
You're supposed to represent and serve the needs of the entire community around you.
There's lots of different rules and regulations that come out of that basic concept.
One of them is this concept called equal time, which is Congress passed a law.
That said, if a broadcaster is going to have a legally qualified candidate for office on, they have to provide comparable time and placement to all other legally qualified candidates.
This has been a rule on the books for decades and decades.
But the FCC seemingly had walked away from enforcing that regulation, or broadcasters had simply misread the provision as not applying, because the provision does include an exception for things called bona fide news programs.
So if you're a bona fide news program, and Congress at the time had things in mind like Meet the Press, you know, real hard hitting journalistic programs, you didn't have to comply with equal time.
But again, over the years, people assumed that everything is bona fide news, and therefore the equal time doesn't apply.
We put out a public notice a couple weeks ago reminding broadcasters that no, in fact, the equal time rule still exists.
There is an exception for bona fide news programming, but you have to demonstrate that you're subject to that.
Okay.
So this is important.
This is interesting.
And he's effectively given us the real first clue that the view is going down because he does not see this as a news program.
He would be right, right?
They talk about news.
They talk about it.
Or forgive me.
He does not see this as an entertainment program.
And that would be because I guess they talk about so much news.
That's why, keep in mind, Bob Iger was trying to encourage them before he announced his departure.
The CEO of Disney, he said, hey, we've got to go back to being more entertainment.
And they said, no, no, we want to talk about news.
We want to talk about politics.
And he's like, no, no, please go back to entertainment.
The reason he's saying, please go back to entertainment is he doesn't want to be in this position where the FCC is coming along and saying, okay, we're going to enforce things like equal rights, equal time rules.
So where does this actually hurt the view?
It hurts the view because the stations are going to get penalized if they're running The View.
That's what Brandon Carr is effectively telling the world here.
So if you're the little station in Timbuktu, Kansas, you're like, I can't take that show.
By the way, they'd be better off putting their own version of The View that had to deal with local issues, right?
That's what people actually really care about.
So I can't take that show.
And that's what they're going to go and tell the ABC affiliate.
And so then all of a sudden the ABC is like, well, if nobody takes our stuff, like, where is it going to go?
You know, it hasn't hit them that they could actually stream on YouTube apparently just yet.
I mean, they do a little, but not much.
So that leaves ABC in a pretty tough place.
It leaves The View in a tough place because if you're depending on having all of those affiliates all over the country and now they can't take you because you're in violation of all these rules and their stations are going to get fined, then, well, you're kind of, you know what?
Right?
Did we hear this one yet?
The View.
The View had James Tallarico also on.
They have claimed that The View is a bona fide news program and therefore qualifies for the exception to equal time.
Interestingly enough, that's not a position that is uniformly agreed to even within the broadcast community.
So I don't, this hasn't really been widely covered, but after Tallarico appeared on The View, again, separate from the Colbert episode, which did air on broadcast TV, a number of local TV stations in Texas did file equal time notices in their Political files signifying that they don't necessarily agree with Disney that The View qualifies as bona fide news.
We have an enforcement proceeding underway right now where Disney is continuing to maintain and defend that The View is a bona fide news program.
And we are working that matter up as an enforcement case right now.
Yeah, so there you go.
They're working that up as an enforcement case right now.
So the view, I know I keep saying this, but let's just say if I were a host on that show, I'd be looking for another job.
No joke.
I would be looking for another job because they're either going to cut your salary or they're going to cut the show altogether.
It just doesn't make any kind of economic sense.
No way, Jose, does this thing make any economic sense.
You got the live studio audience.
You got to pay all those people.
Well, maybe they're not paid.
Maybe they just come because they want to see Whoopi and Joy.
I mean, I don't know who wants to go and see Whoopi and Joy, but, you know, maybe they got some fans out there.
So they got that, but they have to pay for the coordination.
You have what's called a live studio audience booker because somebody's going to go round everybody up from Target and say, hey, come on over.
And then they got to have the person that entertains them during the commercial break.
And then they got to have the person that says, clap now.
Come on, clap, clap, clap, laugh, laugh, laugh, boo, whatever.
I mean, it's like having a canned track, right?
Like in the old sitcoms, you watch like Jerry Seinfeld's thing and it would be the ha, all the canned track.
That's what they have, except it's in person.
Allegedly Assaulting an Officer00:08:16
So I think you can get rid of that show.
I think you can save yourself a bundle.
They got a new CEO coming into ABC who's not going to have a lot of patience for shows losing a lot of money or shows that are in trouble with the likes of Brendan Carr at the FCC.
So it's happening.
I would start looking, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sonny Houston, right now for a brand new job.
You know who else needs to look for a brand new job?
La Monica MacGyver back in the house.
Okay, we're going to talk about her.
I've missed her because I just love, I can't figure out why she's named La Monica.
I mean, wouldn't it just be Monica?
Why do you need the La?
Like La Regina, the Queen, right?
La Monica, La Monica MacGyver.
17 years is looking like it could be real and she is freaking out.
But you know, it's not every day that a member of Congress gets caught doing this.
Oh, wow.
Maybe she shouldn't have worn red that day.
That's pretty rough, right?
That's pretty darn rough.
We've all seen the video.
I got another shot I want to show you too, because actually there's another angle that I don't think I've showed you guys before.
Oh, we're going to take a look at that, and I'll fill you in on her pleas to the public.
But this is assault video number two with LaMonica MacGyver.
Oh boy, oh boy.
Bear with me.
I want to go back to that and see if I can actually talk to you and be on camera at the same time.
So assault video number two.
Let's take a look.
I did it.
I told it, you know, this tech stuff, it's coming along for me.
So this is LaMonica.
You can see her in red, obviously.
And this is some new video of another body cam where she seems to be mixing it up with those ICE officers there in New Jersey, Newark, New Jersey, that fateful day.
New work, I should say.
And that resulted in her, as she tried to plead with them to get into the facility to check on all those migrants, it resulted in her getting In a lot of trouble, a lot of trouble getting arrested, and now they are prosecuting her.
It's a criminal prosecution, and she tried to get her case thrown out, and she couldn't get it thrown out.
So she recently came out and did this little public service message of some sort, asking for everybody's help, trying to raise her profile, I guess, just a little bit.
I am LaMonica McIver.
You may not know my name, but you may have heard my story.
I am the Congresswoman that Donald Trump is trying to put in prison.
for 17 years.
Trump's Department of Justice is going after me, trying to silence me and scare other people out of standing for what's right.
All because I was doing my job.
Really?
I mean, like, I hate to be the party pooper here, but is that really doing your job?
Like, how is that part of your job?
She keeps saying that.
I was just doing my job.
You know, I had to go for the right hook.
There's one shot where you can actually see it.
There we go.
There we go.
I think they slow it down.
Boom.
Maybe that's not a right hook.
That's like an overhand.
I don't know.
I don't know that much about boxing.
But anyway, that doesn't look like she was doing her job to me.
No way was she doing her job.
She was getting into a desktop.
She's a girl that, you know, she can take you on.
Man, like she's been there before.
I'd have to assume because she kind of knew what she was doing.
You know, I can't imagine that.
Like, honestly, I just can't imagine that.
Why would you start throwing punches at people?
That is really bizarre.
She's trying again.
This is a new clip.
Gosh, I feel bad.
I didn't show you this, guys.
It came out, you know, maybe if a couple weeks ago and I feel bad I didn't show you, but it's worth seeing right now because she's freaking out 17 years is looking quite real.
They are refusing to throw her case out, so she stands right now as an indicted member of Congress.
They ought to toss her, trust me, they really ought to toss her.
But anyway, here she went on to Msnbc and tried to plead her case.
Joining me now is congresswoman La Monica Mciver, Democrat of New Jersey.
She is currently fighting Criminal charges brought by the Trump DOJ after her congressional visit to an ICE facility back in May.
Congresswoman, thank you so much for joining us this evening.
So, I just want to start with this.
For the audience, and I'm sure everyone still remembers this, please explain again to people why the DOJ is coming after you.
Explain that you were doing your job in congressional oversight and how you have been targeted, just so everyone's clear.
So, thank you so much, Jason, for having me on.
It's good to see you.
So, I showed up.
At a detention center here in my district to have an oversight visit of a detention center that's being ran by Geo Group, a very close ally to the Trump administration.
And I was basically charged after that visit with the claims that I allegedly assaulted ICE agents there.
And I tried to stop an arrest of one of my mayors here in my district.
That is why I'm being charged and facing 17 years in prison for doing my job.
You allegedly, you allegedly assaulted someone?
I don't, okay, we're gonna.
I get it.
Okay.
The law is the law, right?
So she's like, I allegedly, I allegedly assaulted someone.
I mean, let's, let's see.
Okay.
Let's keep looking, keep looking because I think it gets, oh, now she's just walking off into nothing.
But, you know, I did see that, that, that punch come flying, come flying, right?
I mean, she, she had a lot of anger in her, shall we say.
And here it is.
Here it is.
Here we go.
All right, you see that?
It's slowed down here.
I'm just watching it in real time with you guys.
But she's pushing her way towards him.
And then that one, that one is the one that is actually, I think when it's all said and done, I mean, I don't know how a jury looks at that any other way.
And so now she's facing up to 17 years for the assault of a federal law enforcement officer.
So LaMonica, we do wish you well.
She's really, you know, a hope and a prayer here that she finds some kind of better solution for herself than 17 years.
Watch.
I want to play some of the sound and get your thoughts on the other side about how someone in this position can be in charge of going after you.
You put a hand on an ICE officer.
If you interfere with an ICE officer, you'll get a set of handcuffs and you're going to go to jail and you're going to be federally prosecuted.
I wish the reddit, the hateful reddit from congressmen, mayors, and governors would stop because I said it back in March.
There's going to be bloodshed.
Unfortunately, there has been bloodshed.
I don't want more bloodshed, but unless they stop doing what they're doing, there will be more.
Congresswoman, Does that sound like a threat to you?
Because it certainly sounds like a threat to me, and I'm not even in your position.
Accountability Amidst Bloodshed00:01:23
I mean, absolutely.
I mean, this is what has been from day one with this administration.
It's about intimidation, about bullying, about trying to stop Congress from doing their job, from having oversight and holding this administration and the executive accountable.
And that is why I'm being charged to be made an example out of so that members of Congress will be scared to do their job and won't do their job when it comes to making sure that this administration and anyone in the presidency. as being held accountable for their actions.
I'm telling you.
You know what?
I agree.
She needs, she deserves to do some time for that one.
I don't know if it's going to be 17 years.
She says they want to make an example out of her.
Well, yeah, like you can't have members of Congress doing that.
You can't have anybody doing that, frankly.
Thank you very much.
It is good to have you all here today.
