Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show and happy first Monday of the second Trump presidency. Yes, we had last Monday, but we only had half the day. This is the first full Monday of the Trump presidency part two. Buckle up because if every weekend is going to be like the one we just had, we're going to need a four hour show. Not even kidding. Somebody just posted on X that famous video of Lucy and Ethel on the I Love Lucy show, like trying to get, you know, that assembly line full of like the food and they were trying to like decorate the food or like they fell behind. They just started eating all the candies, whatever they were.

That's how we all feel. And it's great. It's great. We have an alive president and he's actually doing stuff on behalf of the country. This is what it's like. Who knew it's been so long? We kind of forgot what it's like to have somebody actually advocating for us, treating us like we are the superpower that we are, not getting pushed around by these lesser countries that think they can dump all their criminal illegals in America and not have us push back. It's a thing of beauty. Okay, so let me just start further back before we get to that. Pete Hegseth is officially now our defense secretary. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth,

good for him. Congratulations and boo effing hoo for all of his detractors who tried to stop it. Senator Mitch McConnell opened his latest front in his war with MAGA by not voting for Pete. Did not see that coming. We, of course, always thought that McConnell, Murkowski, and Collins, and then maybe Ernst were the ones to look at. And that we were inching closer to the vote, and people thought that maybe those three would come on board, and maybe just McConnell would come on board as it happened. McConnell said no to Pete with a statement ripping him. Collins and Murkowski, same. And Ernst made all the difference. And then J.D. Vance cast the deciding vote because it was 50-50. President Trump had a public

standoff with the country of Columbia, not the university. One is spelled with two O's. The country has two O's, Co-lo-mbia. And that had the left freaking out, freaking out that he had caused a catastrophe for the United States when it comes to our coffee and our flowers. These morons not thinking about, like the children who are getting hurt by all these illegals were supposed to worry about the fact that we import a lot of flowers from Colombia.

Thanks, Ana Navarro. I'll take the children's safety just the same. Before within an hour, he got exactly what he wanted. And the president of Columbia, who's got some very interesting love interests, back down. Meantime, ICE has been fully activated and they're doing their thing bit by bit, day by day. And then there was the thing of beauty from Vice President J.D. Vance on CBS News yesterday morning, sparring with Margaret Brennan and launching a new meme that I think is going to last for years. I don't really care, Margaret. I don't really care, Margaret. Let's play a little

something from that just to kick us off. I don't really care, Margaret. I don't want that person in my country. And I think most Americans agree with me. I don't really care, Margaret, either. In just a bit, we're going to be joined by Batya Angarsargan. But we begin today with Steve Bannon, host of Bannon's War Room. There is a real and growing threat to your home and your equity, and it's called title fraud. Here's how it works. Criminals can forge a single document, file it with a recorder, and just like that, your home's title is stolen. They take out loans against your property, draining your equity, and you wouldn't even know it until it's too late. And here's the really scary part.

Credit monitoring will not protect you from this. But I want to tell you about Home Title Lock to protect your home and equity.

Steve, great to see you. So, I mean, it's been quite the whirlwind first seven days. It's hard to even ask you this, or getting military transport to send them back to Columbia. This didn't happen after November 5th. The folks have been working on this, these executive orders, executive actions, the legislative program, the financial program, economic, the geostrategic from Panama to Greenland. It's awe-inspiring and breathtaking, and it couldn't have come at a better time to save our country. The Chicago situation was pretty stunning and maybe a preview of how these ICE raids are going to go, where they're being lied about. I mean, that's what happened this weekend in Chicago, where we had Chicago public schools call a press conference claiming that ICE showed up at an elementary school. We have some of that. Let's watch.

The ICE agents were not allowed into the school. Our students and staff are safe. CPS will continue to protect our students and their families. We will not coordinate with immigration and custom enforcement agents. Okay, so good for you, cloaking herself in sanctimony. We are not going to cooperate. We're going to protect the children. You had the Chicago Tribune reporting that ICE showed up at this school at 11.15 a.m. The immigration action appears to be the first at a Chicago school after Trump took office.

It makes me so sad, said Eva Chavez, a 37-year-old who lives in the neighborhood and came out after she heard about it. Immigration groups arrived. Parents panicked. Some took their kids out of the school. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker spread the lie on X, saying the first reports of raids in Chicago are at an elementary school targeting children, separating families. It just, the only problem is it wasn't true. Turns out that it was Secret Service investigating a threat. Bill Malusion of Fox reporting that Chicago public schools falsely claimed they block ICE officers from entering a school. The narrative took off. Apparently nobody bothered to check with DHS or ICE, both of which denied the claim. Turns out it was Secret Service agents. The Secret Service leader identified themselves,

or at the time identified themselves, and left business cards. They were looking for a student who made a threat to a government official. And then Chicago Public Schools admitted it, releasing a long statement saying it was just a, it was a misunderstanding. Misunderstanding, Steve. I don't know. I mean, the media ran with it. The governor ran with it. They couldn't get to cameras fast enough. And it was all a lie. Look, Pritzker's running 28. I think Tom Holman, I think it'll happen this afternoon. Call their bluff. We're in Chicago for a reason. Because Eric Adams has already said he made a mistake, a grievous mistake. That's why the Southern District indicted him when he saw the light. In Los Angeles, you see they're going to drop the sanctuary city. You have to call their

bluff. I think they ought to go in this afternoon and call the bluff of the mayor. If he does not allow the ICE agents in the city jail to pick up the bad hombres that are there, which they haven't done today, arrest him. If Pritzker doesn't let him go into the prisons, the state prisons, arrest Pritzker. If you do have to go into a school and the principal, you got to arrest them. This is just not about the illegal alien invaders. Remember, these people are essentially, besides the criminals, they're essentially, I would say, innocent for the fact of they were invited in here by radical government that hates the United States of America. It's now time to

take the torch to the enemy. And that is the mayor of Chicago and the governor. If Pritzker wants to run in 2028, if he wants to run in 2028 in the Democratic primary, let him do it from a federal prison cell, because right now he's obstructing justice. If they can't, if Homan can't, look, Homan's doing great, but to go to the projects and get guys they've released or get them in onesies, twosies is so expensive, so cumbersome, and quite frankly, dangerous. It's now time to go to the jails, go to the prisons, and make them turn them over. If they don't turn it over, arrest the officials in charge. They're the ones blocking this. And this gets to the heart of, this wasn't chaos at the border. This was a well-thought-through plan to allow 12 to 15 million illegal alien invaders to invade our country. And they have to go home, right, on military transport.

And we got to cut deals with all the frontline nations, I believe, not do this onesies, twosies, you know, cut deals. Let's roll. But now it's time to take it up. We're never going to get there by going to housing projects and finding bad guys. You do understand, Megan, you're a smart lawyer. These are administrative warrants. They went yesterday, because we've got one of the exclusives out there with our own Ben Berkholm. They went yesterday to a housing project. The

guy just said, hey, I don't want to answer your call. I don't want to open the door. And they had to leave. So it's now time, I think, to ratchet up. Homan's done a great job. Miller's done a great job. It's now time to go next level. Let's arrest the mayor. Let's arrest the governor. And then send a signal to the rest of the officials throughout the country. Oh, boy, that'll rattle some cages. Here's Tom Homan explaining why it very well may be that we have to go into these so-called

sensitive areas that Joe Biden deemed off limits. Here he is. Take a listen. Benjamin Huffman, the acting Homeland Security Secretary, said in a statement, criminals will no longer be able to hide in America's schools and churches to avoid arrest. What criminals are hiding in schools? Look, how many MS-13 members are the age of 14 and 17? Many of them. So look, if it's the national security threat, public safety threat, what you need to understand is that case by case.

Name another agency, another law enforcement agency that has those type of requirements that they can't walk into a school or a doctor's office or on a medical campus. No other agencies have those standards. But someday you could go into those schools and grab people who are just in the country illegally. On a case by case basis, depending on who they are just in the country illegally. On a case-by-case basis, depending who they are, what the circumstances are. It's never a zero game. This is what we're going to get, Steve, as you well know. The media is going to try to paint these MS-13, these Tren de Agua members as though they're little Boy Scouts that mean old Tom

Homan is just harassing and parents need to run down to their local school district and, and grab their, their child if he's Latino. This is what I think we have to be. We have to be very clear about what we're talking about. And I don't think the administration has done a much clarity to me. It's from the afternoon of the 20th of January 2021 to high noon on the 20th of January of 2025. Everyone that Biden allowed into this country illegally all have to go. Right now it is MSN 13, but I don't want to get into people's minds. We're just going to get the bad hombres, the really bad ones. That's where you start with.

But they all have to go. Eventually, you're going to have to go to the schools. Now, you're going to do it in an empathetic way. You have to be, you have to be empathetic. And this is why you have to go back to the frontline nations, the other nations, including Asia, Europe. You got to say, like they did to Columbia over the weekend, yo, your folks are coming back. We will work out something to make sure that we can get them there, do it safely. But if you don't, we have tariffs, we have sanctions, we have other things that we can do, but you're going to take the people back. Folks have to understand, all 12 to 15 million have to return home. We don't have the money, we don't have the social services, it's destroyed

communities, it's led to all kinds of other problems. We have an African American and Hispanic citizens in this country have been crushed by this. Their education system has been crushed, their healthcare has been crushed. They're working for wages at 20% lower because there's too much illegal alien labor available to take their jobs. It's not right. And I hate to be the guy that says, eventually you're going to go to school. Martha Raddatz yesterday shows you exactly the deportation porn you're going to get, and you're going to get it. So people have to come together and say, this is a mission. And that's why I wouldn't confuse it for people who have been here before that. We have enough of getting the 12 million out now.

That'll take years. It just will. Let's worry about who came before. That's a topic for a different day. And we can get to that. But now, right here, now, the deportations have to go. I think they have to be ratcheted up. I think they have to be much more systematic. And the way you're going to do that is start arresting officials, start arresting, like, for instance, the Catholic Church. If the

Catholic Church bishops are going to come here and throw down and say that, hey, start rolling up the bishops. If it's going to be Catholic Charities, which to me is a criminal organization, and this weekend she's putting out videos about how to report it go and arrest them and throw them in the who's gal it shouldn't be the people that are kind of innocent here the folks that came now we have to work it out that they have to go home and we got to be empathetic and charitable about that we don't have to be empathetic and we do not have to be charitable about the people that made money on a basically human trafficking to get these people here and destroy the country. That's all these NGOs.

It's the Lutheran Church, the Catholic Church. You have this Jewish family services, all of them. And if the Catholic bishops are going to throw down on this one, let's just throw it down now, Megan. Honestly, I thought the same. I was like, why all the money that we donate every Sunday when we go to mass that you think is helping the poor, that you think is helping the underprivileged, it's going to the what? have no idea what they're doing except working. We went down to the border. We've actually shown this over the last couple of years. But the Catholic Charities is getting billion dollars. They get billion-dollar programs from the federal government.

Remember, the federal government uses the NGOs to basically expedite this and work it. That's the whole CPB1 app and all of it. So Catholic Charities is maybe the worst, but they're getting billions from the government. Plus, you know, the decent Catholics that go to Mass every week, that second collection, you have no idea where that second collection is going. Yeah, no, I mean, it's amazing just listening to, you know, what's happening here. Even, okay, it was last week, the Pope said Trump's plans to deport illegal immigrants would be, quote, a disgrace, that it would be a disgrace. I'm sorry, but this pope, he doesn't speak for millions of Catholics. He really doesn't. I know technically he does, but he doesn't speak for me.

He doesn't speak for most conservatives in America who really we've had about enough of his far left social agenda. Tom Homan, back to him. He was asked about the Pope's comments and as usual, hit it out of the park. Watch. I'm a lifelong Catholic. I was born Catholic. I've been through Catholic doctrine. Look, he only concentrated on fixing the Catholic church. First of all, he's got big problems there. And the Vatican, they have a wall around the Vatican. If you enter the Vatican, the crime is serious. You'll be charged'll be charged with serious crime in jail. So he can protect the Vatican where he lives. He can build a wall where he lives. Would American people not allow that? No. Securing the border saves lives.

He needs to understand that we secure the border. Unless people come, less women get raped by the cartel, less children die in the river, less Americans die from fentanyl overdoses. He ought to stick to it. He ought to Catholic church and fix that. That's a mess. You know, Steve, last week we were critical of that Episcopalian minister who was lecturing to Trump and JD Vance when they did her to the courtesy of going by national cathedral. The Pope's no better. I mean that the Catholic church is doing exactly what that Episcopal minister did, trying to lecture Trump to be more humane when it comes to immigration policy without any acknowledgement of the rape trees and the fentanyl and the murders that are happening to Americans because of it. I'd actually say the

church is the Catholic church is worse. The Episcopal is just some bishop up there, you know, yammering like they all yammer on the left. It's just talk. The Catholic church has been actions. I mean, definitively, you could you could actually say, Brother Homan, I think their business model, this is how I got it with Dolan years ago. The business model, as you know, the churches have been emptied from traditional this. On top of all that, they just appointed the most open borders cardinal in America, I think it's McElroy, to be the cardinal over at the Basilica here in Washington, D.C., basically the cardinal for one of the most powerful, not the most powerful archdiocese in the country, Washington, D.C., and then he speaks for the Pope here, and he's going to be in the president's grill. He's an open borders guy, which says no deportation. So there are many institutions, source-backed, philanthropy, religious, that were all part of this.

This just didn't happen. The people that are kind of the victims here are the 12 to 15 million that came up. But they can't stay. We have to be the stern parent here. They cannot stay because they're destroying other citizens in this country. They have to go home because you're going to hear on CNBC all the economic reasons they got to stay. It's going to be inflationary. It's this, it's that. It costs too much money, all of it. Bottom line, if we're a constitutional republic, you can't be invaded. This is about our sovereignty. They all must go home.

And I believe you have to have a massive investigation, a criminal investigation with a grand jury and a special prosecutor about how this happened, how this happened. And people have to be held accountable. If we cannot hold those and the responsible accountable, then we're going to lose our sovereignty that way. You know what? The idea of an investigation is really interesting because just today it hit that among those Joe Biden pardoned with his massive, you know, wand wave of a wand was a killer of two people in Connecticut, a mother and child. And Dick Blumenthal, the Democrat senator from Connecticut, is out there saying that was this was a massive mistake, that he doesn't believe Biden intended to do this, that that this person, this killer was represented by the ACLU to Biden to be a nonviolent drug offender. And that's why he got lumped in. And there are already some on X calling for an investigation into how this and all the other pardons were made and whether Joe Biden was

compus mentis in in order to grant the clemency and the pardons that he granted and whether Joe Biden was compus mentis in order to grant the clemency and the pardons that he granted and whether some of these things can be undone, whether even the president himself intended to actually allow some of these people out of jail. They could definitely be undone. And I say this about the January 6th. As you know, it has to be because they did it so late. They did it. It was his Justice Department. It has to be Pam Bondi

and the Justice Department that has to do this. And remember, Emil Bovi, the number three guy in the Justice Department, was actually on the raids with Homan over the weekend. We actually did a sidebar interview with him, my guy Ben Berquam. He said he was outraged, outraged by what he saw as obstruction by officials, government officials in Chicago to stop this. So that's what I'm saying. We have to adjudicate all this. And these pardons, all of the pardons, including for Cheney, all of them actually had to be

executed by the Justice Department because Biden waited too late. And so I think that all of those ought to be in play. Tom Fenton is adamant about this. Tom Fenton doesn't think any of these pardons, and we got to look at these ones. The pardon process is so detailed and takes so many years. It is impossible in this situation in Connecticut for that to happen, right? It's just because you have every piece of record that's there. You don't know what they're slipping into the deck to have Biden just sign off on. So this whole thing, the whole pardon thing, but tied back to also illegal immigration has to be fully investigated and we got to get to the bottom of it. And I would tell Pam Bondi, do not execute on any of

the pardons for anybody until we get to the bottom of it. It's so disturbing. I, it's like, I don't, I have no idea whether Joe Biden knew what he was doing. Uh, but that is something we should be assured of because like, it's one thing to do a controversial pardon. It's quite another to have the ACLU sneak one past, uh, incompetent president. Um, his, yeah, this is, this is on, on X right now. And, uh, hold on a second. I'm just trying to pull up the exact, yeah, the reporting on this. Relatives of an eight-year-old boy and his mother who were murdered by a Connecticut drug gang are outraged that a man convicted in the killings was one of nearly 2,500 people whose drug-related prison sentences were commuted by former President Joe Biden in his last days in office.

Adrian Peeler served a 20-year state prison sentence for murder conspiracy in the 1999 shootings of Leroy B.J. Brown and his mother, Karen Clark, in Bridgeport, killings that shocked the city and led to improvements in state witness protection. Prosecutors said Brown and his mother were assassinated to prevent the child from testifying in another murder case. In December 2021, Peeler finished a state sentence but began serving a 15 15 year term in federal prison for dealing large amounts of crack cocaine. The federal sentence would have kept him behind bars until 2033. He is now set to be released in July. And this is the one that Blumenthal, a Connecticut Democrat who was the state's attorney general when Brown and his mother were killed, said someone dropped the ball, quote unquote. In Peeler's clemency, he and other political leaders in Connecticut, including the Bridgeport mayor, criticized the commutation.

This really was a vicious murder that changed our laws, said Blumenthal. It also highlights how we need to take a look at the pardon system to see how it can be improved. Well, why don't we first take a look to see whether it was even intended by this outgoing president? So that's one thing. Forgive me for playing a soundbite to Steve Bannon of Selena Gomez, but she's got a lot of power. She's very popular with a large segment of the population. And she just posted this video and then deleted it after her fans went nuts on her. But this is what we're getting. I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry.

All my people are getting attacked. The children. I don't understand. I'm so sorry. I wish I could do something, but I can't. I don't know what to do. I'll try everything I promise. Okay, Steve, she's got 422 million followers on Instagram, and indeed, she's an actress.

I mean, the good news is that people have common sense because this is a revolution of common sense. That's why that's why this movement, this progressive nationalist movement is expanding every day because folks, African-Americans, Hispanic families and working class men and women understand that this is to protect them. And they understand that all the performative like how phony is that? And they can see through it. And they understand how this has destroyed their communities, and they're not going to tolerate it anymore. And they're certainly not going to be backed off by her or by Martha Raddatz. Look at Martha Raddatz's behavior with Tom Holman. I mean, you understand now why the mainstream media is virtually powerless because of her hectoring of Tom Holman, particularly hectoring, remember, about the military flights. You're telling me every day military flights?

They weren't concerned when they were having flights bringing folks in here and taking them deep into the country, like up at the Westchester Airport. So you then could spread out the illegal aliens into New England, right? In upstate New York. So this just shows you the mainstream media. This is why they're so powerless today. And I don't think we should be, you know, even paying much attention to them. We just got to report more information, get more facts out there, more stories out there. And just let the camera roll and see the heroes like Tom Holman, see the heroes of the military that have been sent to the southern border, see the heroes, Tom Holman. See the heroes of the military that have been sent to the southern border. See the heroes in every aspect of what we're trying to do to deconstruct the administrative state and take on the deep state. Just cut the cameras on and watch the Senate hearings last week where they had no punchback on any of the deep policy stuff that Senator Rubio brought up.

Or that Pete Hex had talked about a revolution in military affairs, and he had these heritants. All they're doing is going after his personal foibles every second. They didn't even get to the heart of the matter, and now Pete Hex is Secretary of Defense and has to get on with it and start to execute on this. So I think our audiences grow every day, and they grow with the engagement, and to know that they blew her up after that phony C-level actress performance is, to me encouraging

that's really encouraging because so should the american people in their decency remember american people have tremendous common sense uh tremendous grit but they also have tremendous decency it's the most decent group of people in world history the most empathetic they've given more have freed more people given their lives free and more people given money everywhere the american people are very decent and they understand what's going on here. And they fully back President Trump in this regard to clean this mess up. Yeah, she didn't look at the polls, which have between 55 and 60 percent of all of America completely on board with deporting all illegals, including the Democrats.

The Democrats are now majority in favor of deporting all illegals, never mind the ones who have committed crimes, which is where Homan's starting. But as you point out, not where he's going to end. Homan with Martha Raddatz discussed some of this. Take a listen to SOT19. How can you possibly afford to deport all of those people? Well, leave it up to Congress. I think Congress has a mandate. This was number one issue that people voted on. I think Congress has a mandate to give us money we need. What price do you put on national security? More detention centers? What price do you put on all these young ladies who've been raped and murdered and burned alive? What price do you put on that?

What price do you put on Lincoln Riley's life? Steve, what's interesting about Holman, and to some extent now to J.D. Vance and the other people speaking for the administration is to me, it seems like they're finally getting it. It's so joyful for somebody like me to sit here and watch somebody who actually knows the facts and is not afraid to argue what's real. Give it right back to these Sunday news anchors and they don't care if the news anchors like them. They're not looking to go to cocktail parties in Georgetown. I thought J.D. because J.D.'s a real gentleman. But finally, it was like the frustration.

Margaret, I don't care. That said, CBS has so lost its way. ABC has so lost its way. It's shocking. You know, Margaret Brennan, just not at this at the level that you can be to run these Sunday shows and Martha Raddatz right there. It's just, it's just Hectory. And you saw last night, they got the two new anchors at CBS during the, during the championship game. They, I think it was the AFC playoffs. I said, man, if that's a, you know, Donald was bad enough. Is this an upgrade? This is another disaster. These guys,

and this is why the, remember the audience is only four and a half million. It's not that big an audience anymore. You were doing that at Fox and you're bigger on your podcast, you know, when you count everything. So it shows you that the mainstream media, and they're going to be, they're going to have nothing but deportation porn, right, from here on in, because this is where they're going. But I think the American people have had a belly full of it and they understand has something has to be done. And I love the way

that in a very professional, even handed way that people like Holman and J.D. are kind of the tip of the spear. But I think you're going to see this across the board with everybody. I think you're going to see Secretary Rubio and Pete Hexeth and across the board, Pam Bondi. They just we're not going to not going to count on. They're not looking to go to cocktail parties in Georgetown. They're there to save this country and return it to her greatness under president Trump's leadership. And I think that's what you're seeing. It's so amazing. We've never seen this before where they don't give one inch. They don't need to be like, they don't need the invitation to the jury. They'll have their own parties. They don't need to go to these and you just never see never see it. My entire history in the media, they go on these Sunday shows,

they do a little ass kissing, and then they kind of pivot off to make their final point as like their parting shot of like, well, but we kind of believe this after they totally seed the main points the anchor is raising in part one of his or her argument. So it's great to see somebody just fight and like completely disavow the premise of the question. Here's the longer version of JD Vance with Margaret Brennan. I am convinced like JD is very smart to go on with Margaret Brennan because some people said, why is he going to CBS? It's the enemy. Look what they did to him in the vice presidential debate. And I thought, no, he's very smart because she's adversarial. She's going to try to punch him, but she's nowhere near his intellectual equal. So he knows he can just slice and dice her with ease and do it as behaving as a gentleman, but leave everybody with the same impression, which is she is no match for him.

Her arguments are no match for his. Here's thought 13. There are cases of people who allegedly were properly vetted and then were literally planning terrorist attacks on our country that happened during the campaign if you may remember. So clearly not all of these foreign nationals have been properly vetted. No, but there are 30,000 people in the pipeline, Afghan refugees. But my primary concern as the Vice President Margaret is to look after the American people.

And now that we know that we have vetting problems with a lot of these refugee programs, we absolutely cannot unleash thousands of unvetted people into our country. It's not good. These people are vetted. Just like the guy who played a terrorist attack in Oklahoma a few months ago. He was allegedly properly vetted. And many people in the media and the Democratic Party said that he was properly vetted. Clearly he wasn't. I don't want my children to share a neighborhood with people who are not properly vetted. And because I don't want it for my kids, I'm not gonna force any other American citizens' kids to do that either. No, and that was a very particular case.

It wasn't clear if he was radicalized when he got here or while he was living here. I don't really care, Margaret. I don't want that person in my country, and I think most Americans agree with me. Right on. I don't really care, Margaret. He's right. Well, he does it like he does as such a gentleman. I mean, he's finally the exasperation when they're just going to continue on and continue on and continue on all of them. And I think this is why they've lost the backing of the American people. It's why the ratings are a disaster, why the cost of these things they're going through and cutting every salary. The salaries outrageous in the first place, cutting salaries. You see right there in jd he tries he makes an argument puts the facts out it just continues on continues on i mean it's not a

interview it's a debate right and finally it says look i don't care in the american people don't care next question which i think is great who cares like this guy who he was referencing uh his name is 27 year old nashar nasir ah Ahmad Tahedi. And per court documents, he planned to liquidate his assets, repatriate his family to Afghanistan, purchase assault rifles, and stage a violent attack on Election Day. He entered the U.S. on a special immigrant visa on September 9th, 2021, days after Biden's catastrophic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. Who that had a family member die in this planned violent attack on Election Day would care when he was radicalized. Why was he here? It wasn't lawful. He needed to go. He wasn't vetted. That's the point that he was that he

was making. And, you know, you times that by 20 million. So here's another piece, because the birthright citizenship has made a lot of is rough, a lot of feathers, even on the Republican side, because Trump, notwithstanding what's written in the constitution is saying he's getting rid of it. And there is a legal argument to be made there. Trust me. I researched it in depth before I sat with Trump in September of 23, because I went into it saying, this is a preposterous proposal. It's in the constitution. You can't withdraw it. And the more I looked at it, the more I realized very smart legal scholars actually have made the credible argument that you actually, the constitution is not as clear as its defenders argue, and you can get rid of birthright citizenship. There's it's

because of this clause that means you have to be born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof. And there's a question there. Anyway, um, the media will not allow for any of that possibility nuance or other legal arguments. Margaret Brennan brought that up, too, with J.D. Vance, and here's how that went. Temporary residents, people who come in here, whether legally or illegally, and don't plan to stay, their children shouldn't become American citizens. I don't know any country that does that or why we would be different. Well, this is a country founded by immigrants. Well, this is a country founded by- This is a unique country.

This is a very unique country, and it was founded by some immigrants and some settlers. But just because we were founded by immigrants doesn't mean that 240 years later that we have to have the dumbest immigration policy in the world. By the way, it wasn't founded by illegal immigrants, and we don't have to keep the door open to more and more criminals because of what happened 250 years ago, Steve. It's amazing. Is that stupidity on her part or just liberal bias? I think it's just laziness. I think they've controlled the apparatus for so long. I mean, you've seen this, you know, these people, they've, they've gotten lazy. That's one of the reasons they were caught by surprise on 5 November. One of the reasons that MSNBC's ratings dropped by two thirds is that they lied to their audience.

Their problem is credibility. Half of that audience is never coming back because they felt they were lied to all the way up until Pennsylvania was called. And even that night on the broadcast, I've gone back and studied the arc of the broadcast. They lied to their people. They all thought Kamala Harris. It was a historic night. Kamala Harris, that's where they had the huge crowd at Howard University. These people lied to people and then later said, well, you know, you know, we actually knew the polling wasn't that great to the end.

They outright lie and they will lie because they've controlled they control every institution. They control the institutional power in the country and they got very lazy. They never thought a startup group like MAGA, these kind of populist nationalists with no money and really no institutional power could get in back of someone like President Trump. It's the reason they treated Trump so badly. Remember the felonies that he was charged with just on insurrection in J6 left him in prison for 300 years. They wanted him to die in prison. Until you embrace that fact that they wanted him to die in prison. Until you embrace that fact that they wanted him to die in prison, a man that looks like, look what's happened in the last seven days. I mean, when he went to Notre Dame Cathedral, he looked like Charlemagne walking in there.

He is now on the world stage as the most powerful individual and really driving all the action, right, of everything the American government's doing in every different aspect, like 30 different verticals simultaneously. He's the most powerful president, I think, for even more so than Reagan. I think you got to go back to FDR. And I put him in the category with General Washington and actual Abraham Lincoln as the age of Trump and what he's doing here. They wanted him to die in prison. Until you understand that, they never thought we were coming back. That's why it was that Jay Monahan could lie at Davos on the stage, said, we never debanked anybody. I go, what are you talking about? We were all banked. Our credit cards were taken. We were debanked. The insurance policies were canceled because they never thought

we would be back in a billion years. They said this at Davos. Graham Allison said beforehand, he gave on one of these panels before Trump came, he said, this guy was dead. And he says, I mean, dead. He resurrected himself and his movement resurrected. He says, Graham Allison said, we sat here and mocked those guys for the last four years. They never thought we were coming back. And now that's why it has to be, I think you said the beginning, you know, all pedal, no break. We only have so much time to get all this done and to seize institutional power. And that's why I think people got to be working seven days a week, 24 hours a day to make it happen. And all the shows, all the different shows have to back up.

The difference we have this time is like the 12 or 15 most powerful people in the administration last time in the White House are all on the outside, right? We're all on the outside, sitting there supporting the president every day with that outside effort, that outside push that you need to make sure that, like you've just done here, to break it down to the American people. And it's more than just a conservative audience.

Now you're seeing more and more people saying, well, I want to find out about this. And they like what they hear. We're about to flip California. California, I've lived out in California and Southern California, for 20 or 30 years. I'm very familiar with property and Pacific Palisades, let's say that. And those people out there are starting to flip because they realize all the policies they

supported for so many years really were the predicate for how this could happen. And now they're seeing the nightmare of Bass and Newsom and just this blob that won't let them get on with their lives. And they're saying we had enough. Trump comes out and has done more in 24 hours than all these guys did. So we're in a unique moment in American history, but now a much broader. I say that MAGA and the MAGA beliefs are two thirds of 70 percent of the country. It's like 1932.

We can have an inflection point in this country and essentially govern for 50 years. If we take immediate action on what needs to be done, we stay decent and empathetic, but we take action and we're relentless about that action. On the debanking, just to let people know. So yeah, Brian Moynihan goes out there at Davos and says, oh no, we don't debank anybody, Bank of America. And JP Morgan also says, oh no,

we issued a statement, we don't debank anybody. Just so you know, in 2024, the Montana Attorney General joined a coalition of 15 attorneys general in demanding action from Bank of America to correct the company's debanking policies and discriminatory behavior toward conservatives and religious Americans. They allege in this lawsuit the bank denied services to gun manufacturers, fossil fuel producers, contractors for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It also canceled the accounts of Christian ministry groups for operating, quote, a business type we have chosen not to serve. Similar allegations against Wells Fargo. We could go down the list. A geo group, a private prison operator said it was debanked by Bank of America and JP

Morgan after it faced protests from left-leaning groups over the work it does for ICE. Melania Trump said in her book she was debanked and that son Barron was denied a bank account. She didn't name the bank. 30 tech entrepreneurs said they've been debanked in the last four years, according to Mark Andreessen, who came on the record at PayPal and what they did to conservatives. And the list is very long. For these guys to now claim they've never been debanking conservatives is a lie. It is a lie. It's belied by this long history and what's alleged in these lawsuits. So that's the debanking thing. I do want to talk about California, but before we go there, let's stay on immigration and do Columbia. Because what happened with Columbia this weekend was a thing of beauty. It was a

thing of beauty, Steve. And all while Trump was on the golf course, the guy was hitting under par while he was rubbing the president of Columbia's nose in the crap storm he tried to dump on us. So they sent 200,000. It's an estimated 200,000 illegals in this country from Colombia. As Trump points out, these are not good guys. The face tattoo does not suggest in Trump's words, you're going to be president of a bank when you get here. And we get two planes worth of them at least. And this is only one weekend, and send him back down there. And this guy has the nerve to not accept his own bad hombres. Yes, they're his countrymen, though. They shouldn't be our problem. And Trump, within about two minutes, says, that's how you want to play? We're going to slap a 25%

tariff on all of your goods. And in a week, it's going to go up to 50. And we're disassociating ties with all of your embassy officials here. And it's going to go up to 50. And we're disassociating ties with all of your embassy officials here. And it's going to get more and more painful as the days go on. And you have the leftist meltdown. I think we have some of that. Do we not, Debbie? Where you've got, oh, it's just on paper. But you've got AOC and many others saying, oh my God, this is what's going to happen. And AOC was saying the coffee, the coffee prices are just about to go up 25 percent. A tariff on them is a tariff on Americans. And then the coffee here will be up 50 percent.

You have Ana Navarro saying we have poured a lot of our flowers from Colombia. There goes Valentine's Day within I think it was 60, maybe 90 minutes total. Complete reversal. The president of Colombia fell on his sword. Not only did he say, we'll take them. He said, I'm going to send my presidential plane to go pick them up. And it was a complete victory before Trump had gotten to the next hole, Steve. This is how it's done. And I don't even think the leftist can argue that he did anything wrong here. What do you make of it? This also gets back to the new economic model where he

talks about external revenue service and actually not just looking at tariff as a punitive tariff against a Mexican tomato for 25%, but a whole new way you look at the economy of the United States inside the golden door. The operating leverage we have as the United States over technology and sanctions and cashflow and capital markets and all of it, including tariffs, is enormous. And President Trump only brought, he said tariffs and then sanctions, he only brought about 50% of the toolbox. Our power is almost unlimited about what we can do in a non-kinetic way, but it's just never been used. We're always, we're just a sap. And President Trump, like he said, between holes between holes and around that he had he was on a roll on. He just said, here's what I want to do. Bang, bang, bang.

You know, the state and Treasury go out with that and announcement 90 minutes. Enough time to they get to write a press release. As you know, they full surrendered. So this is very important for what it shows about the power of the United States in dealing with both our friends and our enemies. The one thing I and I have been an advocate for this behind the scenes, because you saw in the Honduras and the Central America, I would I say get everybody up here, either McAllen, Texas, D.C., pick it. It should be Marco Rubio, I think, first and Besson, then the president later. Walk them through and say, guys, here's the number of folks you have. Here's what we're going to do. Here's when they're coming back. Here's how we're going to schedule military airlift command to do it. We want to, if we need some help, we're open to a conversation on how to figure this out. But they're coming back and

they're coming back on a date cert. And if you don't like it, let us know now, because here's what we're going to do. Bang, bang, bang. And you'll have all of them say, okay, I got it. How do we work this out? We have to be empathetic about this, and this is the way to do it. But Trump showed the innate power of the United States of America. And that power comes from the little guy, the full faith and credit of the United States. The reason we're so powerful is we rest upon Burke's little platoons of folks just self-organizing every day and getting their job done, going to work, paying their taxes, building their community. That's the power of this country. And finally, somebody stood up and said, guess what? We're more powerful than everybody. And

here's what we're going to do. But you're taking these bad hombres back. And I think later you're going to take a lot more back. I think it's magnificent. And I just think it ought to continue rapidly. We ought to get them all in a room, cut a deal now, as Trump's the dealmaker, and set up a schedule. Everybody's going home. So then you can take down the temperature of the deportation porn, which, as you can tell from this weekend's Sunday show, is coming. That they're really enjoying it. The epilogue to the Trump versus Columbia president

story is as follows. I love it. So Trump won. The guy completely waved the white flag and sent the presidential plane, he said, for these illegals. Then feeling humiliated, that's clear, he decides to post the following bizarre statement on X. Trump, this is after he already lost the fight. Trump, I don't really like traveling to the U.S. It's a bit boring. I like going to the black neighborhoods of Washington, where I saw an entire fight in the U.S. Capitol between blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like nonsense to me because they should join together. I don't like your oil, Trump. You're going to wipe out the human species because of greed. I am informed that you impose a 50% tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter the United States, and I do the same. Okay, you already gave it up, sir. But I love this, Steve, because what

he's really doing here is playing the victim. He's trying to act tough while also playing the victim. Poor me. You're going to hurt my people with this tariff. And you've got problems of your own there. Meanwhile, it's like you sent 200,000 criminals to our country. We're serving you so far two plane loads back. We are the victims. We're the victims here. Finally acting like we're standing up for our own best interests. That's what's so invigorating about it. You have a president who in between golf holes doesn't need 50,000 state department meetings, you know, group papers. And then Trump tweeted out this, look at this. Trump posted this picture of himself on truth social with the background sign that reads F-A-F-O, F around and find out, and him wearing like an Elliot Ness, like FBI hat. Steve, this is like a dream. Or a hat from the Godfather.

Either full gangster or full. Hey, here's the power. You said earlier about about Homan and J.D. and J.D. being such a gentleman and Homan kind of be. So matter of fact, Trump doesn't give two fucks.s okay this is what you're saying he doesn't care he didn't care what they think about him he doesn't care what the media think they're going to put him in prison he knows this he was in prison going to be in prison for 300 years on the phony charges of the insurrection emil bovey was one of his great attorneys for many of those years that's why emil's out there and sees the madness that's going on right now of officials doing it.

People, we don't care about the performance art of the left anymore. It's come very close to destroying this country and destroying the citizens of this country. Providence. We have a leader with all his imperfections who is going to stand up for the American people and the American citizens and quite frankly, the citizens that were invited in here by this illegitimate Biden regime that now have to go back. And President Trump, I think you've already seen, is in a way trying to do this with as much empathy as possible. So that's why I couldn't be prouder of President Trump and how he's handling this entire thing. I got to ask you quickly about both Tulsi and RFKJ getting their confirmation hearings this week. Tulsi's will happen in front of us first, and then they'll go behind closed doors to do the classified cross-examination. So all the stuff that we're not allowed to hear.

And then RFKJ, he starts on Wednesday. We expect it to continue over into Thursday. I've heard reports that both of those are, quote, potentially in trouble. I'm not sure. That must mean with Republicans because they have the power to up or down it. What are you hearing about both of them? Well, you also have Pam Bondi and Cash. Pam Bondi for another round. So Wednesday, Thursday, and particularly Thursday is going to be showtime. I think Bobby Kennedy is going to be in good shape.

You saw the traders on Friday. You saw Mitch McConnell playing that game and having to bring J.D. over to get Pete across the line. So you know who the opposition is. The opposition is that old hidebound Republican establishment. I think Bobby Kennedy, RFK Jr. is going to be fine. He's commanding material. I think he also may pull in a Democrat or two. So I think that'll be fine.

I think Kash Patel, which of all these this week, they're all important, I think is the most important. I think Kash gets through. I think Pam gets through. I think Tulsi's an issue. And I think Tulsi's an issue not for previous. I think they're all over her right now of her command of the material. And that's why I think the behind the scenes is going to be more important than the upfront. Remember what they're

trying to do. And this is why they had no pushback last week when we flooded the zone. You saw Marco Rubio talking about the end of the post-war rules-based order. Pete Hex is talking about revolution and military affairs. Both Vogt and Besson combined talking about a new kind of economic model for the country and also about how we're going to finance it. These were all to really the heart of the Trump America First restructuring in this country, and there was no pushback. Scott Besson did the best, and this is why I advise people like Cash and Pam and everybody when they go, is remember, the person Trump has selected likes to take a Besson or a vote. No, 10 times more than these Democratic senators are only there to get these snarky things on video.

The first time you do it, like when Wyden asked that wise guy question to Scott Besson, as soon as Scott adjusted his glasses, adjusted his glasses in the professor moment, I said, here it comes. He blew him up so badly, right? Humiliated in a gentlemanly way, kind of a J.D. Vance, very gentlemanly way, very professional way. Scott humiliated Wyden. He was left bleeding. Oh, well, you know, I don't understand about it. I don't agree with it. Nobody else has a tough question. So my recommendation to Pam and to all of them, when they come after you, be a gentleman or a gentleman woman, but take them down right there on national and global TV, and you will see the others act like little lambs. They won't want that.

So next week is going to be showtime. They're dug in on Tulsi. I think Tulsi, and I've been a huge supporter. Remember, I brought Tulsi in in the first two weeks in 16 to see the president, and I advocated at the time that she should be the U.N. ambassador instead of the governor, Nikki, because I thought Tulsi knew so much more, and she was so well-informed. She was an Army major at the time. I've got 30 seconds left. Do you think she makes it through? Yeah, she makes it through, but that's going to be a tractor pull. Okay. Oh, this is like, we do have to buckle up this week because a lot is going down. And, you know, these nominees are in there fighting for all of us and fighting for themselves in the country. Not everybody's got the same agenda. Steve Bannon, thank you. It's great to

talk to you. Always, Megan. Thank you, ma'am. We'll do California with Batya when she comes on because you have got to see the exchanges between Trump and LA Mayor Karen Bass, plus this other Democrat who tried to take him on. It was absolutely epic. There's so much news. Stay with us. We'll be right back. These days, personal safety is not something that can be left to chance.

I'm just going to pick up on a couple of stories that I touched on with Steve, but we didn't get to fully get into because with him, you know, it's truly like

from a fire hose. He's got so much information on so many topics. So we bang through them. Going back to the Chicago lie about ICE busting up schools and dragging kids out and these teachers trying to paint themselves in sanctimony like, I stood up, I didn't allow it. Meanwhile, it was the Secret Service trying to track down somebody who threatened a government official, which has happened under every administration. You have things like, take a listen to SOT24, which is a transgender Chicago high school teacher with some tough talk for ICE. ICE can now raid classrooms. And as a high school teacher, I just want to make one thing clear. If someone tries to come in my classroom and take one of my

students, one of us isn't leaving the classroom. Play with me. Okay. My money's on Tom Homan, madam, sir, whatever we have there. This is right. But it's like, it's interesting to me about you. Cause this is what we're going to get. We're going to get, I'll just, let me show you one more. Okay. This is an unhidden Chicago teacher having a similar, like you bring it, you bring it girl. Meanwhile, these are like heavy set, pudgy little, in that guy's case, wig wearing, not tough guys trying to be like, I'm ready. I've got my gunslingers and I'm going to take, it's like, could you please just have a seat?

Have a seat. Here's the second person. I send Chicago with my students? You think I'd be scared of you trying to come up in my school? don't kind of do you have a plan and a backup plan and 56 doors in the building and 17 routes on how to get to each one i mean no offense the district can give us training on what we're supposed to do over and over and over again and they have by the way but i got my own plan because there's no way there's no way you ever touch one of my kids ever never never hello god

um someone needs to talk to you because that's who you're going to talk to first before you ever touch one of my kids because I don't play it by mine and never have. And if you've been around for a while, you know that. Baby, I've written a manifesto up here on what I would do. Okay, I can see your manifesto has gotten you far in life. This is the same group of teachers, may I remind you, Baja, that during the COVID pandemic made their case that they could not possibly return to school to teach the children they allegedly love so much.

And the way they wanted to express it was through my very favorite video of all time, interpretive dance. Here it is. Make it make sense. Okay. Safety. But I guess tough guys like this have a plan to take on ice and make them see God or they touch one of those children. And just for added perfection, just added perfection. This is just the same way you have with like J-Lo and others who are campaigning for Kamala and Kamala herself. Every once in a while, this like this teacher who's sounding just like you or I do starts to slip into her, I have a plan. You don't think I have a plan? I don't know if it's Latina or what it is, but it's some sort of fake ethical appropriation by these teachers just so they sound like they have credibility.

I have a plan. Could you just, the acting on display today, it's a lot. I guess we better buckle up and get used to it. Your thoughts? I mean, the grunting and the acting and the laughing, like it's clear that this is some sort of sexual fantasy these people have of these ICE agents coming in and them getting into this brawl and this protection of their students. I really want to ask them, why do you not care about the students of yours who have been totally shortchanged by the millions and millions of dollars that are going into ESL to educate students who are not American citizens? Where is the compassion and the empathy for the Black students who are paying the highest price?

Because of course, they always drop these kids in the worst performing, poorest neighborhoods where kids who are already getting shortchanged and short shrifted on education are forced to bear the burden of the pieties of these actors and performers. It's so disgusting. And of course, you know, we talk about this a lot in your show, Megan, like these people are enforcing their open borders woke agenda because they are not themselves paying the price. It's the opposite. The elites have been lining their pockets

with the proceeds of this mass migration because it is not them who have to pay for it. They, in fact, are the consumers of illegal labor. And so they show up as if they are the ones with the higher moral high ground and the pieties and the virtue when actually what they have done is wage class warfare on much poorer Americans and working class Americans who are struggling to give their children the American dream and can't because Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and

the Democrats writ large have imported 15 million people to jump the line and take that American dream from them. And it is just so unbelievably amazing to see a president show up and say, you don't have to live like this. You are not alone. And the fact that so many Americans are being represented by Donald Trump, that's really where his power comes from. The fact that this is wildly popular proposals and policies that have purchased not just with Republicans, but also with the vast majority of Democrats. I'll just say one more thing, Megan. I have never seen a person like Tom Homan show up so ready and eager to do the job, so qualified from day one with a smile on his face because he doesn't care about the lies they're going to throw at him and the pieties and the garbage that they're going to spout. He knows that he, like President Trump, is representing

the best interests of this country. And he's going to do it with a smile no matter what they throw at him. That man is a hero. And he is so the perfect person for the job, just like President Trump. So true. I showed this to Steve. I don't know if you've seen it, but Selena Gomez is a great example of it. Four hundred and twenty two followers on Instagram, four hundred and twenty two million followers on Instagram, 422 million followers on Instagram. And first of all, she's the one who starred in that Emilia Perez, which is up for 13 Academy Awards, who's pushing the trans nonsense on Americans and American youth. I mean, I wonder if she's got a thought for what happens to American youth who gets pushed into this when really all they had

was like some family dysfunction and absolutely no gender confusion. But they get caught in this cult that has taken over, especially with young girls. Where's her empathy for them? It's not present. She just wants to be part of the people who push it. But she, whatever. So she decides to go on Instagram and cry tears about, oh my God, all the illegal children, I guess, who might be subject to deportation. Here it is. I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry. All my people are getting attacked, the children.

I don't understand. I'm so sorry. I wish I could do something, but I can't understand. I'm so sorry. I wish I could do something, but I can't. I don't know what to do. I'll try everything I promise. She deleted it after her fans taught her that the majority of the country stands behind these policies, Batya, but I'm sure she was shocked to get any blowback whatsoever. This, who is she weeping for? The rapists and murderers who are being deported? Because that's

all they've come for so far. Let's just be clear. They have started with murderers and rapists. Those are my people. Why are her people not the victims of the murderers and the rapists, be they migrant victims of murderers and rapists or American victims of murderers and rapists. What is wrong with this person that she can look at the scum of the earth that Donald Trump is getting out of this country and repatriating where they came from and say, everything is going poorly for my people. That is woke mindset. You look at the color of the skin rather than the actions, rather than is this person good or evil? They are evil and she is weeping for them. It's so sad, Megan. This woman is the victim of, on the one hand, mass misinformation. By the way, the only people

left watching the mainstream media, reading the New York Times and watching MSNBC and CNN are rich people like her who are totally out of touch and don't have a single working class person to tell them, actually, no, those are not our people. But OK, you know, it's the mass information and then a mental health crisis that is like really, really, really deeply, deeply embedded. I saw a tweet the other day about some guy who's tweeting, if my MAGA family comes to me for help, if they're starving in the street, I won't help them. That's the combination of mass psychosis from misinformation from the mainstream liberal media and a mental health crisis where people are so embedded in these narratives that they

cannot tell right from wrong. They have lost their humanity. I mean, to weep over murderers and rapists, it really, my heart goes out to her because this person is so lost. She's unwell. Obviously, this is an unwell person. There's been, you know, some stories about that kind of thing. And by the way, anybody, anybody who takes their phone, works up the tears and posts a video of themselves crying into their phone is sick. That's a sick person. Tears happen. They tend to happen privately. If they happen publicly, I think you should quickly move on and recover. But I don't understand the person who works it and tries to squeeze out more tears to make themselves look extra sad.

I'm really sad. I know I have hundreds of millions, but I hate this country. We you mentioned the crazy liberal media and J.D. Vance sat down with Margaret Brennan at CBS News, among other many failed avenues of attack that led to I don't care, Margaret, the now famous line by J.D. Vance. They had this attack on why we haven't solved all the economic problems of the country in Trump's first five days. She's very confused. Watch. You campaigned on lowering prices for consumers. We've seen all of these executive orders. Which one lowers prices?

We have done a lot. And there have been a number of executive orders that have caused already jobs to start coming back into our country, which is a core part of lowering prices. More capital investment, more job creation in our economy is one of the things that's going to drive down prices for all consumers, but also raise wages so that people can afford to buy the things that they need. If you look at our slate of executive orders, no, Margaret, prices are going to come down, but it's going to take a little bit of time, right? The president has been president for all of five days. I think that in those five days, he's accomplished more than Joe Biden did in four years. I like I'm I have to be honest, I'm shocked at the level of stupidity that is masquerading as some tough anchor on these network Sunday shows. This is what a pathetic attempted takedown. So prices aren't going to come down.

Where's the executive order that's going to kill Joe Biden's inflation? Aha. Got you there. This is I'm embarrassed for her. I know it's so sad. I mean, first of all, drill baby drill is going to bring down the price of groceries. It's not going to be immediate, but it's going to happen soon because, of course, energy is a huge component when it comes to the cost of groceries. You have the energy that it costs to grow things, to harvest them, to take care of livestock, and it's transport stuff. To transport them, yep. God willing, there will be an end to the war in Ukraine soon. That too will help bring down the cost of groceries undeniably. Yeah, he didn't accomplish it in the first week, but it will

happen. The thing that J.D. Vance said that was the most important thing is about wages. Inflation is terrible, but it is absolutely crushing the working class most of all because their wages have not kept up with inflation, which means that their money that they work so hard for is not equal to the task of feeding their families anymore. Every single one of Donald Trump's economic executive orders was targeted specifically at raising the wages of working class people, which will put more money in their pockets to buy those groceries. Now, to rich people in the mainstream liberal media, this is invisible to them because they don't know working class

people and they themselves make so much money that they don't understand what it would mean for your wages to not keep up with inflation. They don't understand how tariffs are the most beautiful word in the English language, not just to Donald Trump, but to working class people who know that what a tariff does is it makes their labor more competitive to an employer because we're not in a race to the bottom against Chinese slaves. They know that controlling the border and the face of Tom Homan means that there's going to be less competition for their job in the marketplace, which is immediately going to give them more power to ask for higher wages from their employer. This is all stuff that is invisible to rich people and is unbelievably

important to working class people. And it is literally the only thing Donald Trump cares about is he wants a strong economy, which will make working class people have access once again to the American dream. And it is so clear how everything from the tariffs to the trade, to the immigration, to the giving is telling any company, you bring your company back here to America, you're going to get 15% corporate tax rate, the lowest in the world. This is all designed to raise the wages of working class people, people who work with their hands for a living, people who work in agriculture, people who work in the service industry. He's going to get rid

of the foreign competition from illegal migrants. He's going to get rid of the foreign competition from China and its slave labor. And this is going to make them have more power in the marketplace. This is how you restore the American dream. And to the leftist elites, it's utterly invisible and they do not matter, Megan, because the people who matter are the American people. This was the mandate they gave Trump and in one week he has made good on it. Oh, that's so well said. It's so true. When we went back at one point and pulled the home that Martha Raddatz lives in, and it is this palatial estate right outside of Washington, D.C., it's

spectacular. I guarantee Margaret Brennan, same. They make millions of dollars and apparently have no relatives who are working class or connected with the working class because they seem to have lost all connection to regular people who don't live like that and who actually do live paycheck to paycheck as the vast majority of Americans do. We are going to talk about California, but I saw you tweeting about North Carolina. And before Trump went out to California, he did what Joe Biden forgot to do, which is show some empathy and caring for the victims of Hurricane Helene still suffering in North Carolina, where he swung by with a spectacular first lady and decided to shine a spotlight on the people who still have not recovered and cannot get payments from insurers out there. He actually had people come

to the microphone and talk about their experience with these insurance companies. Here's a little bit of that in stop three. We had to do mold mitigation on our home, which is extremely expensive before the structural engineer even came out in order to get our flood payout. And to me, that was not really acceptable. Has the insurance company been responsive or not? Not so much. You know, again.

Do they give you the money they have to give you? I'm hoping so. And we need some assistance with that. We reached out to an attorney. What's the name of the insurance company? North Carolina Farm Bureau. You've got to move it, right? Yep. That's terrible. That's what we're after here. Are a lot of people having a problem too? North Carolina Farm Bureau. Yep.

That's what we're after here. I've heard different stories from others. It's amazing, Baja, because Trump easily could have gotten all that information from his team. There was a reason he was having these people come up to the microphone and tell their stories personally. And, you know, I look at these folks and I see a ton of folks just like those in the neighborhoods that I grew up in and, and that I see when I go back home, even now, you know, people who are not highfalutin, they're not fancy. They got the baseball cap on and the old guy with the long gray hair. And the one guy holding his little himself into this neighborhood at all. He is trying to call attention to the plight of these Americans who are still suffering, even though with all due respect to our friends in California,

they're not from the Pacific Palisades or Malibu. Yeah, exactly. I'm going to try not to go Selena Gomez on you because I, like many of my followers, got very emotional watching that press conference to see a president decide that what he's going to do with the power of his office is show up and give his platform to the forgotten, literally the forgotten men and women of America, the backbone of this country, the hardest working people who have been utterly, utterly forgotten by both parties, and then to name and shame the insurance companies that are stiffing them. There is not another politician who I could think of who would do this. This is a person whose heart just bleeds for the American people. This was one of the most astonishing things I've ever seen in my entire life as a journalist, as an American. It was absolutely astonishing. You could see the love that went back and forth between the president and these people. These are the people that he was elected to serve. And this was his first stop on his way, as you say, Megan, to go and speak to and help the much

more affluent people in California. This is a man who intends to be the president of every American, whether you're a broke person in Appalachia or rich person in California, he's going to show up and simply demand better for you, telegraph the singular message, you are not alone because I am here. I never thought I would see something like this. There's something about it that is just unbelievably humbling and pure and godly. And it just, it really, it brings tears to my eyes. I don't quite know how to process what we are seeing here because I don't think it's something any of us expected to see. And pay close attention to which Democrats recognize this, that there is something happening here to us as a nation. We are coming together in a way that Donald Trump promised we would.

He kept saying, they kept accusing him. He's going to do revenge. He's going to do this. He's going to do that. And he said, our success will be our retribution. And that is what we are seeing right now. It is extraordinary. It's extraordinary to see this happening, especially between a Republican and the working class of America, which is, you know, traditionally not the group that would run in to vote for a Republican. You know, my mom is a lifetime nurse. Now she's a retired nurse who spent her career at the VA. And after my dad died, you know, long time ago, 1985, she married a plumber. Um, he, his kids became a police officer and a nurse, right? This is not like this, not like a rich family. And for the first time,

my mom sounds like a Republican. My mom, I hope she doesn't mind me revealing my mom voted for Trump. And it's not because of me. My mom has voted Democrat her entire life. She's 83 because of that, Batya, because she's picking up what he's putting down. Like she sees what he's doing. She feels heard by him. She's living. Yes, of course I help her, but she like all pride people, prideful people in their eighties does not want my money. She wants to live on her retirement. You know, she earned it and all that. And she sees what's happening with the inflation and her, the money. And so like, that's what caused her to open her mind to Trump after a lifetime of being told by my Nana who passed in 2016 at 101 Republicans are for rich people and they're starting to see with Trump, that's no longer true.

Yes, absolutely. And I think, you know, the fact that the media is trying to run the 2016 playbook and sitting there weeping and in tears over murderers and rapists, it's falling so flat, especially in light of what you just said, Megan, your mom was one of millions of Americans who were Democrats a year ago, two years ago, five years ago, 15 years ago, who have found in the MAGA movement specifically a home, this glorious multiracial, multiethnic working class coalition, thanks to Donald Trump and honestly, Steve Bannon, who played a huge role in this, in explaining to people what was happening here, that this is not white nationalism. This is nationalism. This is love of country. This is regular folks,

not fancy folks, average hardworking people who have been screwed over again and again and again, put last again and again and again, and then smeared as racists for daring to want a better future for their children. This is who Donald Trump represents. And because of this glorious coming together on November 5th, it is no longer possible for the media and the Democrats to get away with lying on him and smearing him. When they lie about him, they are lying about the American people. And the American people know that. So they just can't get away with it anymore. We're really about to enter a glorious new golden era of unity and common ground and coming together around common sense values that this country was built on. The idea that you owe something to your neighbor first, that we owe something to our citizens.

It has to mean something to be an American. You can't just give that away to rapists and murderers from Colombia and expect the American people to just take that. We're done with that. So, so good. And unlike the left, President Trump's party does include the well-off. He did go then to the Pacific Palisades and Malibu and work hard to try to figure out how to help those people too. Unlike the left, which demonizes one side or the other, right? It's either like a bunch of country bumpkin losers who just live in flyover country and are too dumb to understand what's best for them. Or the rich don't pay their fair share and we need more from them like the AOCs. Trump is finding a way to just

bring everyone together. The only people not in his coalition are the people who refuse to be in it because of their far left woke ideology that won't let them see what he's offering, right? What's happening right now in the country. Not everybody felt about Trump's visit to North Carolina the way we did. Not everybody was inspired by what he did this past week. One of the things he said was he's got questions about whether FEMA should continue as an ongoing concern or whether states should be encouraged to save and somehow find a way to address disaster management on a more local level. And here is how, was it Margaret Brennan responding to that? Yeah. Back to Margaret. She's the star of our show today. It's not 14. You know, FEMA has specialized expertise that

some of these states just don't have in their arsenal. And how will states who are lower income states, the Mississippis, the Kentuckys, the Alabamas, be able to do this for themselves without federal help? Well, the president, to be clear, is not saying we're going to leave anybody behind. He's saying that in the way that we administer these resources, some of which is coming from the federal level, some of which is coming from the state level, we've got to get the bureaucrats out of the way and get the aid to the people who need it most. But they're too dumb and too poor, Mr. Vice President, to fend for themselves. And it's so backwards, of course. You look at the people at that press conference in North Carolina. These are the kind of people who help their

neighbors, who have been helping their neighbors, keeping people afloat when the government didn't step in and do it for them. You know, I've been obviously super critical of certain aspects of Elon Musk and Doge and what have you. But the idea that some massive government bureaucracy that has failed time and again to equitably distribute aid to the people who most need it, knows better what's good for these people than they do themselves, is just laughable. And you saw in California how exactly like you said, Megan, Donald Trump was speaking up for people who just wanted to go home and use their own money and try to find their precious belongings that they could salvage, try to clear whatever it is. They want to use their own money to do it. And the government was literally getting involved

in Karen Bass not giving them permits to do this. And all Donald Trump said was, why can't they do it? And she goes, oh, well, they can do it in a week. Well, a week is a very long time. I mean, this is just this is what he's doing. He is showing up and saying exactly what you wish you could say, but you can't because you have not been given a voice and you have not been given the right to do that. The most obvious commonsensical thing to help people who are suffering. You've got the Mississippi governor, Tate Reeves, coming out on X saying hilarious elitism by Margaret Brennan and CBS News claiming that Mississippians know less about emergency management than DC bureaucrats,

all because her favorite Democrats in California and North Carolina have failed their constituents. Very interesting. I mean, she just can't trust me. I've worked in the mainstream media. She can't fathom that these yokels down in places like Mississippi could ever help themselves. That's how she sees them. That's honestly, I guarantee you, that's how she sees them. And she thinks that's what makes her a good person. She thinks like her inability to see them as capable of managing money, of managing an emergency is what makes her their benevolent saint. Right. She's going to pressure J.D. Vance to keep the FEMA federal bureaucrats in charge of their wellness because they're too dumb to do it themselves. It's like it's dripping out of her pores. All right. Let's meander westward like Trump did out to California. And may I just say about the trip out west by the president and the first lady, number one,

we have entered the dawn of a hot first lady and we deserve this. We deserve an amazingly gorgeous first lady who's bringing style back to the job. Look at her in her green puffy coat, her tight jeans, her boots, her black beanie, and her aviators with their perfect lipstick and hair. Trump, here he is on the helicopter, but when he is on Air Force One, he is using the big boy steps. We've seen the return of a hot first lady and the return of the big boy steps to Air Force One Batia. And this is the first couple we deserve. So they her native tongue in two different foreign languages. She's reportedly fluid in six foreign languages, but the New York Times dismissed her as a mannequin. Anyway, they go out there and Trump picks a fight with Mayor Karen Bass, which was absolutely beautiful. This soundbite's a little long, but watch it play out. They're arguing over how long

it's going to take to clean up the fire damage in places like the Pacific Palisades. So just so people can get back on their properties and get what might still be there, which there is in some cases, some debris that that's salvageable, see the damage, you know, survey what's left so they can figure out their next move. None of that's being allowed. Watch. But we are going to move as fast as we can, but we want you to be safe and we want you to be back in your homes immediately. But the people are willing to clean out their own debris. It doesn't cost a lot. You should let them do it because by the time you hire contractors, it's going to be two years. You can do some of it, but a lot of these people,

I know that guy right there that's talking. I know my people. You'll be on that thing tonight, throwing the stuff away and your site will be, it'll look perfect within 24 hours. And that's what he wants to do. He doesn't want to wait around for seven months till the city hires some demolition contract that's going to charge him $25,000 to do his lot. I think you have to, you have emergency powers just like I do, and I'm exercising my emergency powers. You have to exercise them also. I did exercise them. Individuals want to clear out their property, they can. That's not true. Yes, but you know that you will be able to go back soon. We think within a week.

That's a long time a week. I'll be honest. To me, everyone's standing in front of their house. They want to go to work and they're not allowed to do it. The people are all over the place. They're standing. And I say, Warren, you're going in. We're trying to get a permit.

And the permit's going to take them. Everybody said 18 months. You said 18 months. You said 18 months. Let me tell you something, Badia. My dear friend whose house burned down in the Pacific Palisades, she's my one woke friend, but she's like, she's sane. You know, she's, I adore her. She wanted to get back into her house. You know why? Because they have these little heart rocks that she and her kids have been collecting since the kids were babies. You know, whatever place they went, they'd get the little, if they find a rock that looks like a heart, they collected it and they had it in a jar and it was on top of the mantle at the fireplace. And they all really thought it could still be there. Like that's one thing that might not have burned and it would give the girl something to have. And nope, no, no, you can't get anywhere.

Well, you know what? She scaled a wall and she got in and a full hazmat outfit, but she managed to do it. And she had to counter man, the, the, the orders, they were not letting her in. She just did it. And it's because of Karen Bass and this nonsense. You can't get in. There's a video on the Daily Mail today of a guy saying, I just want to drive by. And you've got the soldiers or whoever's patrolling the area saying, we're not allowed. LAPD is not allowing us to let anybody in there. There's Trump with a hefty dose of common sense saying, just let them in. A week is too long. Some of the stuff will spoil if it managed to survive. And the 18 months that they were arguing over, that's on camera too. It is, I'll just show you this soundbite quickly. The LA director of public works, Mark Pestrella, told Karen Bass and council

members within the past week that it's going to take 18 months to clear the debris. Now she sits there at that meeting with Trump and says it's not true. Her director of public works says it is. Here it is. We know that the first phase will take some time. Phase one will take up to three months, maybe even longer, six months to get the toxics off. At the same time that that is occurring, we'll be coming behind you with the process of debris removal. The debris removal can take up to 18 months, Supervisor. And I'm going to stop there because I want to make sure everybody hears that clearly. I know we want to set expectations.

And I said at the beginning, I'm going to tell you what I know, what I know. We heard it clearly. Two years until these people get their property back. What do you think? First of all, Megan, were the rocks there, the heart rocks? Did she find them? Yes, they were there and she salvaged them. They were about to be carted away, I guess, within two years' time by Karen Bass and her two-year plan to clear the area. And it's like, look, if people want to go there and immerse themselves in toxins to try to salvage what they can, that's up to them. Why is that not up? It's like Big Brother tries to control everything.

They can do what my friend did, which is actually put on like a safety suit and a mask and risk it if it's really important to them. But Big Sister thinks she knows better. And the whole town is saying two years before you get your property back. I honestly sitting watching Donald Trump sitting there and just calling her on her BS. I did not realize that a president could just do that, could just show up and say that is not true. I know it's not true. Why don't you tell the truth now? Why don't you change this policy? It's the most radical thing. And it's so obvious and so simple. You know, if that is all he accomplishes, of course, we know he's doing much, much more than that. But to just show up

and say, I am going to be the accountability here. This is utterly unacceptable. Let these people into their homes. Let's have a little common sense here. Stop lying to me. And it's so amazing how she says, you know, first she says they can go to their homes and he says, no, no, they can't. And she says, well, they will be able to go to their homes, right? The immediate follow up. I mean, this is really and truly powerful, powerful stuff. And you made the greatest point, which is whether you're broke in Appalachia or rich in California, Donald Trump wants you to thrive. And that is what this presidency is going to be about. There is somebody on X named Eric Matheny who tweeted out the following, and I loved it. I wrote it down. Trump is governing like a man who has been shot, indicted, investigated, and impeached,

and has zero fucks left to give. It's glorious. That's exactly right. He's saying it all. So then, Bacha, he gets into a back and forth with this California lawmaker named Brad Sherman, a Dem who'd been giving him a hard time because Trump said, you know what? We want to give you federal relief, but I want two conditions met before you get it. And that is number one, allow the water to flow to Southern California, like I've been saying for years, so we can be ensured that this, this isn't going to happen again. And number two, you should require voter ID in this state where they seem to have an allergy to voter ID. So he's getting all this blowback, like, how can you condition the aid on voter ID? It's not fair. And Brad gave him some guff about that earlier in the meeting. And then this exchange happens where Trump had thoughts for Brad

on the insurance situation out in California, SOT7. Mr. President, without your help, they're only going to get $43,000 from the federal government, even if they have a half million dollars. You know, you did something, Brad, with every insurance company in the country left California. That's why you have no insurance, because you made it so impossible. People that think like you made it so impossible. And me, every insurance company. I don't know. I don't know. I'll tell you this.

I've never seen a state where almost nobody has insurance. Here's a little more in SOT 8. They continue. There will be more fires until we include in any disaster relief items which will prevent it or at least mitigate it from happening again. So you're going to see us proposing both of those. Like water. Little things like water. You know, the party of common sense. See, Brad, we're the party of common sense.

You're not, in all fairness. Yes, sir. We like water to put out fires. It's really quite efficient. Back to Brad. But yeah, it that's, we keep hearing that the party of common sense and Baja, I like it's for me, that really resonates. Cause that's kind of how I I've seen myself in media for a while. Like I don't, I'm not F you and your bigoted charges. I don't want boys in girls sports. That makes me commonsensical. That's what that makes me, right? Like Trump's leaning into this and he's a hundred percent right, which is why he's got majority support on the immigration policies, on the trans policies, Who the hell would disagree with we need water to fight fires? Absolutely. You're totally right, Megan. The common sense theme is such an important one here

in terms of understanding where Trump is coming from. I will disagree with that tweet just a little bit. I don't think he's governing like he has no Fs to give. I think he's governing like an assassin who spent the last four years developing a perfect plan and now is executing it executive order by executive order by executive order with a kind of confidence and a kind of sort of happy warrior attitude, knowing that he has the American people behind him. And you're totally right. You look at the polling and where Donald Trump is at and whether it's immigration or tariffs or gender issues or even abortion, this is where most Americans are at. The vast majority of Americans are in the sort of radical moderate middle. So people are pretty pro-gay.

They're pro-gay marriage. They really like, you know, Scott Besant, the highest appointed gay out person in the history of this country, Trump appointee, right? People like to see that, but they really don't like the trans agenda. They really don't like it in schools. They really don't like it in sports, right?

Common sense. Treat every person with dignity. Don't bring your mishigas into my child's classroom, right? It's obvious, right? Immigrants, yes, come here legally. If you have something to contribute that we cannot get from somebody who's native born, sure. But if there is a person being left in Appalachia, a brilliant child who's not getting an opportunity or a kid in the inner city who's not getting access to that opportunity, how dare you? The presumption that you're going to come and benefit from the glory of this nation when we haven't lifted up our own neighbors? Forget about that. Mass deportations. You came here illegally. You broke the law. You are a criminal. We don't owe you

anything. You don't have constitutional rights. This is where the vast majority of Americans are at. And it is not an accident that it is where Donald Trump is at. Yeah, get out. I have to take a break. But quick, quick soundbite on Trump and his sense of humor hit the happy warrior. I saw something this weekend. You almost never see Donald Trump laughing. He smiles a lot. He's very generous with a smile, but he almost never laughs. It's actually kind of interesting. I noticed it during the campaign when that hyena was on the other side with her very strange laugh at everything, the cackle, so bad that they had to reel it in, selling her never laugh. Trump just naturally, he's not a laugher. He's a more serious guy. He's got a sense of humor, but he's just not like prone to laughter. Well, it happened. And it actually was funny. He was

doing a bit on how he's returning phone calls of world leaders like that or calling or picking up the phone when they call, unlike Joe Biden. And all these leaders are shocked that they've gotten him on the phone. Watch. Our country was on the verge of some of the very bad things and bad things were happening. And now there's light not only over America. I've heard it from even our enemies. They call up and they say, sir, we hate you. We do hate you. But there's light over the world right now. They hate me. Some of them hate me. If they liked me, you got a problem, right? I was told today by one of the big leaders of the world. We'd call for a telephone call with the president of the United States a year ago. And it's a, we'd like to speak with, who is this? It's the head of Germany, the head of,

it's, name it, the head of France, the name of any country, it didn't matter. He would never pick up the call. Next month, they're so used to this, right? I say, no, I'll pick it up right now. Is he on the phone? Yeah. Hello. How are you doing? That's what, you know, get it, get it over with, right? Get it over with. The only problem, they were so starved for love from the United States, I cannot get them off the phone. I can't get people, if you can't, I say, I have to go now, King, or I have to go now, President. But you can't get them off the phone. They're starved for love, you know,

for years they haven't spoken. They didn't even know we had a president, if you want to know. He's enjoying himself. All right, more with Batya right after this. Don't go away. The IRS is the largest collection agency in the world, and it just stepped up enforcement for 2025. If you owe back taxes or have unfiled returns, don't wait for the IRS to come to you. Simply avoiding your tax troubles is the worst thing you can do. Getting ahead of this is the smart move, but you might not want to contact the IRS alone. You could turn it over to the team at Tax Network USA. Why? Because not all tax resolution companies are the same. Tax Network USA has a preferred direct line to the IRS, which means they know which agents to deal with and which to avoid. Tax Network USA has proven strategies

We saw Vince Vaughn at the Trump ball. We had Snoop Dogg perform at the crypto ball and Jewel, the singer, performed at the RFKJ Maha ball. And she's already sorry she did it. Look what she just posted. As many of you know, I am a mental health advocate. I believe I can help. And if I believe I can help, I have to try. And if I wait to try until I agree 100% with the people that might be willing to help me, I'd never get off the bench. I don't think that's how activism works. I believe there are people in the new administration that are willing to help on this issue.

And I do not agree on all the politics. And I am so sorry that I caused pain. Especially in my LGBTQIA plus community. Because you guys are treasures. You make the world a better place. And I really hope that we can push through our hurt. And move toward understanding on both sides. It pains me and I'm so sorry. She's sorry.

Well, the apology not accepted. Her mentions, her responses are all like, F you, fascist. Thoughts? Honestly, what I think we're about to see is what we're already starting to see a little bit in the liberal media. These people are lemmings. So Hollywood, the liberal media, like everybody, nobody there has a spine. Nobody has any ability to think independently. They walk in lockstep, like, you know, like like a flock of sheep or geese. And I think we're about to see actually a big turnaround. You're already seeing this. If you turn on CNN, like you'll frequently see people defending Trump.

It's amazing. Like you haven't seen this in a decade. And I think we're going to start seeing that in Hollywood as well. People understand that the nation is just not there with all their garbage, with the activists on the trans front and the open border front. This is not where the nation is. And I think that there is this sense already in Hollywood. I mean, I'm sure a lot of these Hollywood stars losing their homes and now having to face like totally disastrous Democrat leadership is going to help a lot. But already you saw at the Golden Globes, there was a kind of almost humility. There was no politicking. They get it. They understand that they are out of touch. Their movies were, but their speeches weren't. Yes. Well, right. I think we're going to see a big turnaround right now. The lemmings are going to start following in the other direction. That's my prediction. I really hope Jewel's followers

who supported her performing at the RFKJ thing are speaking out as well, because there are a lot bigger numbers on this side than they are on the other. And so she really, I mean, this is no time to pander to your leftist base. Batya, a pleasure. Thank you so much for being here. Well, we have so much this week. We've got Tulsi, we've got RFKJ hearings. As we pointed out with Steve, we got Kash Patel. Buckle up, folks. Thanks for listening to The Megyn Kelly Show. No BS, no agenda, and no fear.
