Episode Date: February 6, 2025

#Live #news #TrishRegan Full Episode LIVE State media is being exposed! And longtime hosts and anchors are paying the price. Every day, it seems, we learn of another anchor biting the dust! Today - it’s revealed that Andrea Mitchell, a veteran correpondent of NBC News, is leaving the MSNBC network. This comes on the heels of Chuck Todd leaving NBC. Separately, DOGE just unveiled that Politico and the New York Times were paid MILLIONS (with a big uptick in spending in 2024 ahead of the election) by USAID. How did Americans not know that? Are more news organizations about to be caught up in the scandal? No wonder the legacy media seemed so orchestrated in its narrative! Also of note: the website Politico, which received more than $8 million from the government in 2024, was unable to pay its employees for the first time yesterday…just as the government chose to freeze its US AID payments. It this a coincidence? Was it a glitch? Or, is it related to the shutting off of the government gravy train? Trish Regan reports on all these stories - plus, Trish has a report on Disney and its newest earnings. Of note: The House of Mouse is losing subs on its Disney+ platform, suggesting that it can’t seem to make the transition to a streaming platform.

Another one bites the dust. We got another MSNBC anchors saying, bye-bye. I'm noticing a pattern. Are you? We're going to talk about Andrea Mitchell out after 17 years at MSNBC. Meanwhile, holy moly, what is going on over at USAID and New York Times and political? For goodness six, we're talking about state media on steroids. That's what I would call this state media on steroids. I mean, how is it, ladies and gentlemen, that Politico got $8 million, interestingly enough, all in, what, 2024 right ahead of the election? That's a little suspicious, don't you think? I mean, at least NPR has the common decency to tell us there are propaganda network, not so much over at Politico and the New York Times. So all of this information just coming out,

Turns out BBC got $5 million. We're going to get into all of it. Meanwhile, Pam Bondi's not messing around. Okay? I'm going to say that again. Pam's not messing around. She's coming for you, Letitia. She has no use for you anyway.

And right now, you're standing in the way of everything the administration is trying to do. And guess what? This is one where federal powers definitely Trump, no pun intended. Those of Leticia James or any other attorney general that wants to stand in the way by being a sanctuary, So things are about to get very interesting. On top of that, they're also standing in the way when it comes to women's sports. Donald Trump signing in a big order today. Watch what I do.

Watch what I do, then I'm going to give you some pens, okay? You ready? What a nice picture this is, huh, governor? You ready? We'll do a good job. Wait a little press that. I want to make this a really good signature. Because this is, you know, this is a big one, right? one, right? Oh, I think we have a 10. We have a 10. I see some very happy little girls. We'll talk

all about that. But welcome to the program, everyone. I am Trish Regan. If you haven't subscribed, do me that favor. Subscribe, share, like, make a comment. Thank you for sticking around. We got some breaking news also coming into us on those transcripts from CBS. Remember that interview that Kamala did for 60 minutes that they kind of sliced and diced and made her seem a whole lot smarter than she really is? Well, we got the real transcript. So, we wanted to go through that and I want to be able to bring you some parts of that. So we're going to get to that as well. You can tell he's back in office now, can't you? We're talking about news, baby, news, lots of it. Okay, beginning off with Andrea Mitchell, MSNBC, anchor is out. This is the second

major NBC personality to go by-bye just in the last few days, right? First you had Chuck Dodd. And now you got Andrea Mitchell, Andrea Mitchell leaving the anchor chair after 17 years there at MSNBC. see. So apparently she's going to stay on in some kind of gig is the foreign affairs correspondent and Chief Washington correspondent. Andrea Mitchell, if you don't know, has been there forever. And I'll actually say on a personal note, when I worked at NBC a lot of years ago, you're going back to 2019 when I was an intern at NBC Nightly News. At one point, I got assigned to her team. And so I was doing all this research for her. She's something. She didn't used to read it all. That was something that was tough on me.

I remember that. And I always say to my producers, you're free to get after me. If I don't read your research, I know how you feel. So feel free to speak up. Anyway, Andrea Mitchell out after 17 years in the anchor chair. This is who she is. Remember, she kept going on and on about, you know,

they're picking on Kamala just because she's a woman. Oh, and there's that economic plan that she doesn't have. But it's mainly because she's a woman, right? Got to double down on doing more interviews and serious interviews because when I'm hearing from Democratic and Republican business people and a lot of men and she's got such a big problem with men. I think there's an undercount of the Trump vote. I think there is misogination in all of this, black and white men. Big problem, but also the business world, they don't think she is serious. They don't think she's a heavyweight.

And a lot of this is gender, but she's got to be more specific about her. economic plans. They don't think she's serious because she wasn't. Okay, let's be very, very clear. She had no economic plan. So men didn't think much of her. Maybe because she didn't have an economic plan.

That wasn't misogyny, Andrew Mitchell. That was just plain old common sense. In other words, voters are demanding of something. And maybe the women weren't actually telling you what they thought because let's take a look at that landslide that was. He got the electoral college and he got the popular. vote. So this was a mandate from the American people. They were sick of all the nonsense. You all kept stuffing down our throat. Well, then, you know, there's this, and we're going to get to that

nonsense because it turns out it was bought and paid for by the Biden administration, courtesy of the slush fund of the CIA, that would be USAID. We'll talk about it. But Andrew Mitchell, again, stepping down from that anchor chair, one would think it's about time. I mean, poor Mitch McConnell, We saw him today falling. Well, Andrea, poor Andrea, was falling asleep on the air not too long ago. And well, you worked in the White House with him for all those years. Every expectation that assuming everything goes well, in five days, we're going to see the president back running around the country again.

I think she was falling asleep. What do you think? She's a kind of sleepy eye. I'm sorry, Andrea, only Biden is allowed to do that. Okay? You can't fall asleep on air. You got to stay awake. It's the president that does that.

Listen, these people right now, we have just learned a lot, right? They're flipping out because USAID is being exposed by Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Elon got this team of whipsmart young people. Boston University, by the way, someone on their staff actually exposed these kids, docks them. And I'm like, wow, they're superstars. But you know what? it's a dangerous thing being doxed by a Boston University employee right now because everybody wants

to come for these kids. But anyway, they're out there. They're going through all this information bit by bit by bit and they're finding out all kinds of things. And we're going to get to it because political ladies and gentlemen, you like my scribbling all over this thing. They were making a fortune. $8.2 million just happening in the last year, 2024. But think about how angry they were. I mean, what have we heard in terms of the hysteria? Oh my gosh. It's a hostile takeover of the government, says Jen Saki. Well, good. We wanted that. This is exactly what was supposed to happen.

For goodness sakes, you guys have had a gravy train for way too long, and it turns out it was permeating all the way down to the media. Of course. Because what's happening right now is a hostile takeover of the U.S. government. There's no other way to describe it. It's happening clearly across our justice system, or just a few hours ago, a deadline passed for FBI employees to fill it a questionnaire. Okay, blah, blah, blah.

We got a hostile takeover. Well, gosh darn it, about time. I've been saying to people, I had a lot of high hopes for Donald Trump coming in. I really did. And I had an expectation that this would not be the same administration because, you know what? He was going to be on defense. He's like, Ben, they're done that. I see what they do to get too. I got to come in and actually invoked some real change. This is what the people want. This is what I promised, and this is what I'm going to do. And think of how refreshing this is. I got a message last night from a very dear friend who said to me, especially after he made some of the comments on, you know, putting up condos effectively in Gaza, he said, Trish, if he can get what he wants done, I mean,

from a budget standpoint, from a cleaning out a bureaucracy standpoint, from a refining of the, you know, getting rid of all this big, big, big, big government and refine it down to something small, if he can settle things on the international front as he so wants to do, he will go down in history as one of the greatest leaders ever. Think about that. So think about how much they want to fight this. I mean, they were fighting it all they could, were they not? Apparently in the media.

So take a look at this. This is just revealed. This is by the Doge team. All those young Whippersnapp kids in the work for Elon going through. Can you imagine going through all this information at USAID? They started off here. and we see, take a look at that, you guys, $8.2 million going to Politico. And I want you to see this.

Do you see how I'm moving on this graphic? I want you to see where and when the money came. Look at that. So we have in 2024 just an enormous amount of money, if you look at that graphic, an enormous amount of money going to Politico. But did Politico ever tell you that they were getting funded by the U.S. government and U.S. aid? No. I never knew that, nor did I know that the New York Times was getting funded by Biden's administration.

And yet, here we go. The U.S. government gave the New York Times tens of millions of dollars over the past five years, despite paying relatively little money to the New York Times in the years preceding 2021. For instance, in August 24, the U.S. government awarded. $4.1 million to the New York Times. This is bought and paid for media. This is state media. This is not okay. I am blown away. So during this whole thing, I'm like, why is the media so over their skis? Like, they're really going nuts. Are they being paid on the side? I mean, I know Sonny Houston was talking about how she went and did, oh, and this was on tomorrow,

did some event at the Biden Library, and I'm like, okay, they must have really paid up for that speech that you gave. And is it expected, like this quid pro quo on the side? Now I'm looking at the New York Times. That's got $4.1 million coming into it. I mean, this is in just one, in August, 24, the bulk of the funds, it says, came from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services at nearly $27 million, followed by the National Science Foundation at $19.15 million. Okay, now we know why we had to only talk about March 2020 in certain ways, shapes, and forms. Now we know, okay? Because this was what you call big, big business.

Disgusting. Disgusting stuff. So these guys are all basically out for hire. And I'll tell you, this figure just got turned off. Here's Caroline Levitt today. Saying that much. USAID has gotten a lot of attention the last couple of days with some of these bizarre things that we've been taxpayers have been funding.

Now it looks like there are a couple media outlets that have been dragged into this conversation as far as USAID funding as well. Does the president have any comment on that? So upon coming out here to the briefing, room, I was made aware of the funding from USAID to media outlets, including Politico, who I know has a seat in this room. And I can confirm that the more than 8 million taxpayer dollars that have gone to essentially subsidizing subscriptions to Politico, the American taxpayers' dime will no longer be happening. The Doge team is working on canceling those payments now.

Again, this is a whole-of-government effort to ensure that we are going line by line when it comes to federal government's books and this president and his team are making decisions across the board on do these receipts serve the interests of the American people? Is this a good use of the American taxpayers money? If it is not, that funding will no longer be sent abroad and American taxpayers will cease. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. And then it gets even bigger. I mean, we're talking more and more and more. I want to just give a shout out to Steve Frischman. Thank you. much for your generosity. And he writes, congrats to Pam Bondi being the AG. She said she's going after Latisha. Believe me she is, and I get proof of it coming up momentarily. But wow, Politico!

Oh my gosh, they couldn't pay their bills. They couldn't pay their employees. What do you know? This is like the first time ever in Politico's history. They could not pay their employees. So they sent out this email saying, Dear team, Golly and I want to address this morning's payroll issue directly. Due to what we believe is a technical error, employees did not receive their paychecks as scheduled. We understand the urgency of this matter, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Our team is working diligently to make sure our system vendors and the bank are working to identify the root cause, the root cause. I like that word, right? That is, woke speak. And it will implement a solution as quickly as possible. We'll keep you updated,

et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. I wonder, ladies and gentlemen, could Politico be going out of business? What are they going to do without their millions of millions of dollars from the federal government. What is the New York Times going to do without its millions and millions of dollars from the federal government? Heck, what the heck is the BBC going to do without the five million dollars it got from USAID? Ilan Mas saying maybe we need to liberate Britain too. These guys were on the payroll. Okay. So that is in part why you see the bias that you've seen. And I say to myself, you know, political New York Times, you pretend like, you know, you're really, I guess it's just your sort of liberal viewpoint. You never told us.

You were getting paid for this. You never told us that this was a bought and paid for entity. I mean, heck, at least we know that that's what goes on over at PBS and NBR. I mean, gets a little opaque because they're like 1% of our budget comes from federal taxpayer money. 8% of our budget comes from other federal sources. And then the rest, like 38% percent, comes from donors, all of whom are liberal, these liberal organizations. But, you know, look, a lot of people say not one dime, not one taxpayer dime ought to be going to NPR or PBS. Little did you know it was going to Politico, the BBC, and the New York Times. Here's a congressman going nuts over NPR and PBS.

It shouldn't be funding a propaganda machine, which is what NPR has evolved into. The Constitution lays out 17 enumerated powers. for this government. Providing state media in one of them. NPR and PBS have become America and Propta. A reliable mouthpiece for the liberal bureaucracy and their left wing

enablers. It's time to restore some sanity this government by eliminating NPR's federal boondoggle. I think it might be time to eliminate the politico boondoggle as well. Take a look at that. They were buying positive coverage. What the heck else do you think that was?

in 2024, ladies and gentlemen, why does the money soar in 2024? In New York Times, what were they buying? They were buying a viewpoint that they wanted to push in the New York Times. Why else would health and human services be spending $26.9 million? Why would the National Science Foundation be spending $19.15 million? This is pretty sick stuff. And thank goodness we're finding out, because by the way, we wouldn't have known. We wouldn't have known if we didn't have Doge in there with Elon and the kids going through all this and saying, hey, we're going to figure out what's what.

Again, like we knew that NPR was at least propaganda. I mean, heck, the CEO keeps telling us this. This is Catherine Marr, the head of NPR in a TED talk proudly talking about how she doesn't care two bits about truth. But one of the most significant differences, critical for moving from polarization to productivity, is that the Wikipedians who write these articles aren't actually focused on finding the truth.

They're working for something that's a little bit more attainable, which is the best of what we can know right now. And after seven years there, I actually believe that they're onto something that for our most tricky disagreements, seeking the truth and seeking to convince others of the truth isn't necessarily the best place to start. In fact, I think our reverence for the truth

might have become a bit of a distraction that is preventing us from finding consensus and getting important things done. Woo! Okay, so the head of a major media outlet NPR just came forward and said, you know what, truth doesn't matter, it's getting in the way, it's a waste of time, we need to focus on our version of the truth, whatever that may be.

And apparently, you had people at USAID and people at the science department and people at the HHS saying, yep, we agree, we agree, we agree, we agree, we agree. So why else do you think they're so against Donald Trump? Why else are they so against his appointees? It all comes back to money, baby. That's all this is about. It's a business like anything else, which is why I'm telling you, the only one you

could trust, really, would be the independent journalist. I mean, I'm not taking any money from health and human services. I'm not taking any money from the National Science Foundation. I mean, this is pretty gross stuff, okay? And they never told you about it. Now everybody's flipping out. Hillary Clinton's like, oh my gosh, Elon Musk is mounting a Blitzkrieg-style administrative coup of the U.S. government.

He's getting into the systems. He's getting into the systems, and he's going to figure out exactly what we've been doing, whole darn time, so Hillary's losing it. Elon is the problem, right? Elon Musk is all the problem. I mean, Donald Trump, because he likes Elon. This is kind of bonkers. Shouldn't you be happy that, oh, of course she's not happy. This is getting exposed. They had kind of a nice thing going, right? We just funneled this money into these reporter organizations. We call the chief of the New York Times. recall the head of political, we say we really want X, Y, and Z in the paper this weekend.

What do you know they do it? Because guess what? They're getting paid to do it. Well, Representative Omar is exceptionally upset that this is all getting exposed. And she's trying to convince you, no, it has nothing to do with exposing this boondoggle that is the American government and the insane amount of money that they spend and everything to do with helping poor people all over the globe. I am exceptionally upset about USAID. I lived in a refugee camp for four years as a child surviving civil war. It is the essential programs that USA provided that kept my family and I fed and safe.

It is the resources that so many people around the world rely on. And it is our soft power. oftentimes people interact with our country through the military. That does not create love for us, and it certainly does not keep us safe. But, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, but you know what? Last I checked, people wanted to put America first, right? So, you know, when you've got all this USA going to weird places like Caroline Levitt articulated, I think people are kind of having a problem with that.

Here we go. And I would just say a strong message to Democrats who are out there pretending to be outraged about the long list of crop that this administration is cutting federal waste and funding, like $2 million for sex changes in Guatemala, $6 million to fund tourism in Egypt, $20 million on a new Sesame Street show in Iraq, $4.5 million to combat disinformation in Kazakhstan. I could go on and on, and I'm happy to provide this list to every single one of you. Democrats are outraged that the American people want to be – they want their taxpayers going to good uses. not stuff like this, but then they're very quiet about the fact that there are still North Carolinians

and people in California who have lost everything and in the last four years this federal government did nothing to help them. This president will continue to put Americans first and I think the successes of this week so far speak to that and it's only Wednesday. So I'll see you guys later this week and we'll see you this afternoon. Thank you very much. Amazing. Okay. So while we're spending all this money on all these other things. Well, we're trying to influence public opinion and make sure everybody votes for Kamala, or they wanted you to vote for Joe, but when that became increasingly evident, no one was going to vote for him. They switched to Kamala. When all this comes out, they flip out, and their answer is just to protest, protest, protest, that's all Chuck Schumer can come up with.

I'm going to stand with you in this fight, and we will win. We will win. We will win. We will win. We will win. In this fight, exactly what is this fight? Because it seems like the fight is all about exposing all the crazy things that you guys have been doing with our money, our taxpayer money that we work hard to earn. You've been out there squandering it and then trying to use it to carry favor with the likes of the New York Times, Politico, the BBC. I'm curious to see how many other entities are out there on this. You know what?

As she said, it's only Wednesday. peace of my mind making the point like much more to come indeed so you can imagine how much they want to double down and fight Elon and they want to fight Daz and they want to fight Trump and so again again we are going to fight procedurally and shut down any processes we can that are complicit in this we're going to fight legally in the courts across our country we're going to fight legislate as well. But the most important way we fight, the most important things all of us have to do together, whether you are a United States Senator or a congressperson or just an American citizen who is pissed off. Let me tell you this. All of us must speak up. All of us must speak truth to power. So, just to be clear, that's Senator Booker, you know, from New Jersey, who doesn't want it exposed that the U.S. government is squandering his taxpayers, in his jurisdiction there in New Jersey,

they take the New Jersey tax, and they go and spend it on advertisements, so to speak, they're not even advertisements. What do you call that? Favorable coverage in the New York Times? I mean, are you kidding me? I'm sorry, Senator Booker, you're on the wrong side. history on this one. Senator Schumer, you're on the wrong side of history. You need to be with the people. You need to stand for the people. You need to care about the people. Instead, you schmucks,

only care about your goddamn selves and making sure you stay in office. And your way to do that is to have a slush fund that then gets channeled to the media, not to mention all these international escapades. Unacceptable. Unacceptable. And you know what? It's so unacceptable that even CNN gets it. They're actually laughing at these idiots, these morons who are, mind you, on the wrong side of history. Democrats agree that Musk is a problem, but listen to them today, and they have a pinata in search of a stick. To our Republican colleagues, if you do not see the light, we will bring the fire. Resist! We are going to be in your face, we are going to be on your We have days to stop the destruction of our democracy.

We have work to do. Tell Elon Musk to take his hands off your money. We don't pledge allegiance to the creepy 22-year-olds working for Elon Musk. We pledge allegiance to the United States of America. And goddamn it shut down the city. We are at war. We will win. We will win.

Yeah, you saw that clip. We will rest. We won't rest. I'm grateful. The Democrats need a real leader. They need a real leader, which currently does not exist in the Democratic Party. And they have been caught completely flat-footed. Yeah, because it turns out they're actually trying to preserve a system that has swindled the American people.

I mean, we're dealing with inflation. We're dealing with high taxes and Donald Trump and Elon Musk and yes, his team of brilliant 20-some-odd-year-old kids. They're out there. They're going through this. And they're exposing it. And they're getting rid of it. And they're cutting off payments. And it may even mean that the likes of Politico may have to go out of business.

I don't know. Politico can't pay its employees after all of these payments got. shut down. First time that's ever happened. It must be a glitch. It must be a glitch. Nothing more. Nothing more to see here. I'm telling you, it's all coming apart. And I love it. I mean, usually you'd think, okay, somebody's elected. They say they're going to go in there and change all this stuff. Donald Trump means it. Like really, really means it. And he's got smart people who know how to get stuff done and they're going to do it. I think of 20,000 people that are already agreeing to leave the federal government, unfortunately, it's not enough. Donald Trump would like many more because he wants

5 to 10 percent, 20,000 is only 1%. Wow. Okay. And by the way, markets up. Markets up. Market loves it too. You know what else is up? Gold is up. Gold is up in a way. I keep taking a look at the price of gold because this note came out of Goldman Sachs earlier this morning and said that what was basically the number one investment play for people, it was, well, two things. They liked gold and they liked Bitcoin, two very different products. I can't stress that enough. I don't know why they always get lumped in together, but gold is still one of everyone's favorites. And, you know, it's one of the things that, for me, anyway, helps me sleep at night. It's also one of those diversification tools just in case, right? Just in case you continue to get more inflation or just in case

it becomes a little dicey. But I will tell you, overall equity markets are up, up and away. And gold is one of those things. So, you know, listen, if you are interested in investing in gold, I would encourage you to call my friends over an American Heart for Gold, one of our sponsors here on the program.

1115. That is the number. You heard me talking about the markets. up in a way. Listen, they're ready. They're geared up. They are ready to do this thing. Take a look at 76 research. This is my company that I started with Rob Horton. I'm going to talk a little bit later in the show. He had some interesting comments. I'm going to share with you on Disney today because their subs are just going way down at Disney Plus. Anyway, take a look here. You can see some of our total returns by sector for the six months ending 131.25. And I will tell you, you know, these portfolios,

each one of them are pretty meaningful and have 10 to 15 stocks in each one. And the goal here is to out perform the S&P. So go check it out. 76 Research.com. If you want to subscribe to the 76 report, you can do so with code word dollar, D-O-L-L-L-A-R, code word dollar, my gift to you guys. It's important right about now. I'll tell you, there's so much happening. There's so much happening. I mean, I'm looking at New York Times. I'm looking at Politico. I'm thinking BBC. These people we're getting all this crazy money. And I kind of wonder, like, was ABC getting it too? What's the deal with Whoopi?

I'll tell you this. Whoopi Goldberg is on thin ice to the point where they're actually coming out with a new promo for The View. I know that show that we can't stand to watch because, you know, she does things like this. She spits when she says the president's name. Listen, take him seriously and take him literally. I don't think that we have to, I think it would be remiss of us to not say,

Joe Biden knows how to do this. Yes. He knows how to do this. He's quite good at this. And, you know, you can't refute anything with him because he just, when I say him, I mean. He rambles. Trump. He tends to just.

But can I mention one thing? I said his name. That was a trick and it made me do it. But I'm just saying that Biden knows what not to do. You can't refee. Let's be clear, Biden doesn't know what day it is, let alone what to do, what not to do. So was that paid for? I mean, I'm kind of wondering, ABC's in a lot of trouble.

She's a problem. You got Brendan Carr on there, you know what. He's coming for him. He's restored all these bias complaints against the likes of ABC and NBC and NBC and CBS, and he's actually threatening that they may not allow for the affiliations at all those local stations for ABC all across the country, so much so, that he sent a letter. to one Bob Beiger, who is the CEO of Disney. Disney is the owner of ABC News, which runs The View.

And so now, interestingly, there's a new show for the View coming out on weekends, whoopee, because you just can't get enough of it. But one whoopee is not even in it. Not in it at all. Get this people. Now we're streaming every weekend. This is the new commercial. With an all new show and all new view, special for the weekends.

Now you can catch the View seven days a week. I wonder if you can handle it. It's the weekend view. The weekend view. It's the weekend view. Streaming on ABC News Live. The weekend view with everyone except for Whoopi Goldberg. Hmm.

So what's that about? Could it be that they felt she was just too much? I mean, they were going to be streaming and they need to take this product forward. And by the way, their streaming numbers are lousy. So they're thinking, okay, let's move away from linear television and let's put the view on the weekend. And let's do entertainment instead of politics. By the way, listen, like over here on streaming, like in this land, it's all about authenticity. You can talk about politics. You can talk about a lot of stuff.

In fact, you're crazy whoopee. She might actually have a better following online than she does in the sort of traditional, shall we say, network environment. But they can't figure that out, I guess, either that, where she's holding out for more money. I kind of wonder if she's in the middle of contract negotiations. And that's, in part, why she stops spitting when she says the president's name. After all, he won. If you notice on that show, she's gotten extremely quiet. And now she's sort of relying on this one, Sunny Houston.

To go on and on and on, of course, Sunny Houston has no use for Doge. No use for Doge or Elon Musk, because once again, they don't want to be exposed. When we first started learning about Elon Musk now being a special government employee, which means he has top security clearance, but he doesn't have the obligations that a full federal employee has. So he doesn't have to give the same amount of disclosures. He has less conflicts of interest. And it seems to me that when I put my legal hat on, what Donald Trump is trying to do is he's trying to expand the powers of the executive branch.

We all know, or we should know in this country, that there are three co-equal branches of government. Who are they, Sonny? Okay. So you've got the judicial branch. You've got the executive branch, and you've got the legislative branch. The legislative branch is the branch that Sarah was just talking about, which is Congress, right? so you've got the House and the Senate power of the purse.

What he is trying to do is trying to figure out how he can expand his power, the power of the executive branch, and have a little more power over Congress. And he certainly has kind of a bit of power over the judicial branch because the top of the judicial branch is the Supreme Court, which he has packed with lawyers. Okay, I'm going to jump in and just tell her one thing. You know what?

The public's not with you on this. The public wants their money back. The public's looking at this. Wait, you spent how much money on an opera for transgender in Colombia? Wait, you spent how much money getting positive coverage at the New York Times? I don't think the public is so okay with that, Sunny, which is why, you know, it would be smart for the rest of you senators and congresspeople to actually start thinking about the public for a change, would you?

I almost got riled up again. You know, my Irish gets a little ahead of me sometimes. it's disgusting what has gone on. Donald Trump suing CBS News for $10 billion, which is actually more than the company's worth of parent company, Paramount, is worth some $8 billion. So $10 billion would be kind of, well, put him out of business, if you would. And one of the things that he is suing on is this idea that they gave such positive coverage

unfairly, if you would, without any transparency to Kamala Harris. and that's because of that interview. Remember that interview that caused such a story. You see, the idiot producers over there were not smart enough to actually keep, you know, the edited version and the un-enited version from crossing on the airwaves. And so what happened was over the weekend when they were trying to promote in the morning, there were 16 minutes, big interview with Kamala Harris. They aired in the morning on Face the Nation one clip that sounded totally different.

from the final clip. And so you may remember this. I want to show you. And by the way, we have the real stuff now. But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening. Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by, or a result of, many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region.

But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening. We're not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end. Gosh, it's like, whoa, Presto. She went up a few IQ points. Well, if you can bear it, there's another question that God asked. And we have another edited and non-edited version. So let me start with the word salad nonsense. There is one Kamala Harris.

You better just think your lucky stars. She's not the president of the United States right now. I don't think I know what I'd do. If I had to listen to this woman all day long, I mean, at least Trump is entertaining. Did you see what he said to the Afghanistan reporter? He couldn't understand her. So he said, oh, he's like, oh, you know what?

You sound lovely. What a lovely voice. What a lovely voice. But, you know, I just can't understand one darn thing that you're saying, lady. He's so funny. Here, I actually have a clip. I'm going to show him. Go ahead. This is hysterical.

Really funny. I have any plan to change Afghanistan situation? Are you able to recognize Taliban because I'm an Afghan journalist. I have a little hard time understanding you. Where are you from? Actually, it's a beautiful voice and a beautiful accent. The only problem is I can't understand the word you're saying. But I just say this.

Good luck. Live in peace. Diplomacy. Yeah. He's diplomatic. There you go. Anyway. No, we would have been listening to Kamala Harris's.

Non-edited. It's just like a minute or so. Let's listen to the mess that she is here in the 60 minutes non-edited clip. This one is actually about Ukraine. The events of the past few weeks have pushed us to the brink, if not into, an all-out regional war in the Middle East. What can the U.S. do at this point to stop this from spinning out of control? Well, let's start with October 7, because obviously what we do now must be in the context of what has happened. And as I reflect on a year ago and that 1,200 people were massacred, young people at a festival, at a music festival,

250 hostages were taken, including Americans. Women were brutally raped. And as I said then, I maintain Israel has a right to defend itself, we would, and how it does so matters. And as we fast forward into what we have seen in the on-sewing weeks and months, far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed. And we know that, and I think most degree, this war has to end. And that has to be our number one imperative. And that has been our number one imperative. How can we get this war to end? Well, critical elements of that are we got to get a hostage deal and a ceasefire deal done.

We have to get aid in. We have to lay the path toward a two-state solution. I do believe that we must maintain that as an objective, no matter how out of reach it seems at the moment. And the work that we have to do is also pay attention to what is happening every day in the region and put U.S. resources into everything we can do diplomatically and otherwise to de-escalate what is happening in the region. Okay, so basically she said nothing.

There goes a microphone. She basically says nothing, but she takes a lot of time to say nothing. Like it's a hallmark of Kamala Harris's speaking. I was going to say ability, but clearly it's not much of an ability. She just goes on, no, no, no, no, she's kind of reciting the few facts that she knows. And she doesn't actually say anything. I guess we got out of that, you know, forgive me. That one actually wasn't on Ukraine.

That was on Gaza. She wants a two-state solution. By the way, Donald Trump, I'm making it clear. He has no interest in that. No, he's going to take over Gaza and put up condo buildings and turn it into like America's Dubai. Yeah. That little doozy came out last night.

Anyway, here is Kamala's edited version where they try and have her make some sense. I mean, wow. The events of the past few weeks have pushed us to the brink, if not into, an all-out regional war in the Middle East. What can the U.S. do at this point to stop this from spinning out of control? Well, let's start with October 7. 1,200 people were massacred. Two hundred and fifty hostages were taken, including Americans. Women were brutally raped. And as I said then, I maintain

Israel has a right to defend itself, we would, and how it does so matters. Far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed. This war has to end. So you see the difference? Like, you know, she's like more, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, this war has to end. I didn't hear anything about the two-state solution, did you? I mean, come on. Right, so, and that's just a little blip, okay, guys.

Like, there's a one hour long. if you have the patients, you can even hear her talk about her allergies that she goes on and on and on about at the top of this thing. Okay, so we should just tell her to take some balance of nature. Seriously, like the top of the, we don't have time to listen to the whole hour, but it was part of what I was doing right before I came on with you. We were just looking through the clips to watch it all. I had to listen to, oh my God, the pollen, the pollen, Kamala Harris. Get over it, for goodness sakes.

You're going to be president of the United States. I don't want to hear about allergies. But I do understand that people have allergies, okay? I'm just thankful I don't have a cold this winter. Knock on wood, so far, so good. The kids have all had one. I credit taking my vitamins, drinking my water, getting my exercise, getting my sleep. But again, I go back to taking my vitamins because it's not something I ever used to do.

Not since I was a kid anyway. And my mom would put out the Flintstone vitamin. I have never taken vitamins. Really, prenatal vitamins when I was having the kids. But as an adult, I just haven't. And so I started taking Balance of Nature because they came on the show and wanted to sponsor. And of course, I was thrilled that they wanted to sponsor. and we have this partnership now, and I started taking them.

They sent it to my house. I get fruits and veggies. They're gummies. They're gluten-free for those of you that care about those things. And I feel really good. I feel terrific, actually. And I like having the peace of mind that knowing that, okay, even if I don't eat all my Brussels spouts or my broccoli, I did get my fruits and veggies.

From balance of nature. You can give them a call today at, let me get the phone number for you, 1-800. 2468 751, 1,800, 246, 8, 751, you can use my discount code Trish, and they have a money back guarantee and you're going to get 35% off. I think I've been saying 30, so remember, 35% off plus free shipping. So that is a big deal. Go check it out, balance in nature. You're helping the show, you're helping me, you're helping yourself win, win, win,

all across the board. But I've got to tell you, I mean, Kamala Harris, she was just about the worst candidate they could have ever possibly put up. And to think that they stood in the way over and over and over and over again. I mean, I'm curious to see if Doge finds any money going to CBS, because remember when CBS refused to report on the laptop and Trump was telling Leslie Stahl, another one who may bite the dust rather soon? I mean, she's turning into a liability, honestly. If you watch the opinion of us, how many people trust the press anymore. I mean, we're way down there with the lawyers. Yeah. This is really rough, as you know.

You're way down there with Congress. I despair. Seriously. I worry greatly. We're at a point where if the president of the United States is going to say legacy media is dead. Well, I guess Musk said that. Legacy media is dead. He wants it dead. He wants other media. But it is kind of sort of hobbling right now. And I don't know how it recovers. You know what? Doesn't need to recover because you guys were on the take. You were the ones getting some kind of slush fund or your network, your network or your newspaper, Politico, getting what it got, 8.2 million in 2024, the New York Times,

getting millions and millions, I mean, four million just in the month of August. Think about that. I think that it's high time. The legacy media ended. I don't even want to call it legacy media anymore. I want to call it state media. That is what it is. It is state media. When Leslie Saul sat there and said this to Donald Trump about the darn laptop that we now know was absolutely being investigated by the FBI at the time, despite what the 51 ex-spooks and hacks had to say about it and she is part of that group because she wasn't willing to do her due diligence at all, at all. You know, this is 60 minutes and we can't put on things we can't verify. You won't put it on because it's bad for Biden.

We can't put on things we can't verify. You know what you told me a long time ago when I asked why you keep saying fake in the media. Yeah. You said to me, I say that because I need to discredit you so that when you say negative things about, me, no, I don't have to discredit you. You've discredited yourself. Leslie, you've discredited yourself. When you say that you're not going to cover Biden,

you're going to ask him what flavor ice cream he has, okay? Instead of why did Hunter get $3.5 million from Moscow, instead of why is an energy company paying your son $183,000 a month or whatever that bag him, and he has no experience in energy? you know, you discredit yourself. I don't have to discredit you. So this story about Hunter in his laptop, some repair shop found it.

The source is Steve Bannon and Rudy Giuliani. I don't know anything about that. I just know it's a laptop, and they haven't? And you're making this one of the hottest, most important issues in the rallies. It's a very important issue to find out whether or not a man's corrupt who's running for president,

who's accepted money from China and from Ukraine and from Russia? Yeah, I think that's an important issue. It's incredible the way you can try and say this and sit there and look me in the eye and say it. He accepted money, his family, from Russia, from Ukraine, from China, and from other places. His brother, who didn't have experience, became a big builder in Iraq with that experience. take a look at what's going on, Leslie, and then you say that shouldn't be discussed. I'm saying. It's the biggest scandal out there, Leslie, and you don't cover it.

Because it can't be verified. You want to talk about insignificant things. I'm telling you. Of course it can be verified. Excuse me, they found the laptop. Leslie, Leslie. Can you verify. What can't be verified?

The laptop. Why do you say it? Okay. So why did she say that? I mean, a good reporter would actually do their own due diligence. They wouldn't rely on whatever John Brennan was telling them or Mike Morel, or any of those other losers that signed the now infamous. Politico, didn't it go in Politico, you guys?

Remember that? The 51 spies that lied? New York Times, New York Post had printed this story. And they came out and they made this big. big, big, big push in Politico, like just to bring it full circle. They put this letter out in Politico that this was absolutely not. It's totally discredited. This is all misinformation, disinformation, it's all a bunch of junk.

And we have the email saying they did this because they wanted to have a talking point for the campaign. But they put it in the place that they were paying. you know, Politico, which was getting money from U.S. aid. Wow. Okay, like just draw the dots here. And I do think that all of these networks are tainted in some way, shape, or form, that they all kind of had a hand in this. And this is why people are hungry for something new that's not part of the legacy media. By the way, they were certainly hungry for a new person in charge, and that would be Donald Trump, and that's why he was voted in, and guess what?

He's making changes. Pam Bondi is now. Ladies and gentlemen, your attorney general, and she certainly has no use for one, Letitia James. Never has. We'll get to that, but she came out with new orders today. She's pausing all federal funding for sanctuary cities. You want to be sanctuary city in New York City?

Guess what? You're not getting any money. You're not getting any taxpayer federally funded money because you're not following the law. And I guarantee you, Pam Bondi is on the right side of the law on this one. Just go to Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4. What does the federal government have the ability to do to establish a uniform rule of naturalization? If anything, if there's one power that the federal government has, it is to control its borders. Okay, so Letitia, you can get up there and say all this.

Oh, you were preparing, you were preparing all the time. You knew this was going to happen. You bet you knew what was going to happen. That's where you're so scared. You're going to lose your money again. You see what it always comes back to. With other Democratic AGs across this country to make sure that we would be ready to respond to any attempt to roll back our rights.

So here we are. We've studied their platforms. We've identified certain possibilities, fact patterns. We've created contingency plans. So no matter what the next administration throws at us, we're ready. We're ready to respond to their attacks. We're ready to respond to any attempts to cut or eliminate any funding to the great state of New York, as the governor outlined. So despite what has happened,

on the national stage, we will continue to stand tall in the face of injustice, revenge, or retribution. We will continue to protect and our most vulnerable and marginalized amongst us, because it is my sworn duty and responsibility to lead that fight, working with the governor of this great state, Kathy Hockel. This is not the time to be theoretical, fearful New York, but faithful and steadfast, knowing that I as the Attorney General, along with my entire team, we are guardians of the law. And we are prepared, my friends, to fight back. Thank you. Well, guess what, Letitia? You can't actually fight this one because the federal government doesn't have to give you money if you're not actually following the law. In fact, I think that Pam Bondi ought to be able to put you in the slumber because you're really not following the federal law.

You're actually in complete defiance of it. So, sure, she's taking away your money because you're out there saying, I'm going to do what I, I just damn please. New York law has laws that protect immigrants with limited cooperation with and limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement efforts. Those laws should be followed by law enforcement and officials in our state. I'll always uphold our laws and protect immigrant New Yorkers. She's making it very clear. Oh, she's been preparing for this day. Well, you know who else has been preparing for this day?

Pam Bondi. And you know what else? Pam doesn't have a lot of love for Letitia, shall we say? She knows darn well that Leticia, one, is really bad at her job. Two, deliberately went after Donald Trump with the intention of bankrupting him. And three, doesn't care two bits about her city. There she is standing up there. I, Latisha James, I will protect everyone.

I will stand in the way of Donald Trump. Here's Pam. I think in New York, to specifically talk about New York and to talk about Attorney General Letitia James, instead of sitting in a courtroom going after Donald Trump on bogus civil fraud cases, she should be out on the streets of New York with all of law enforcement. She's the chief law enforcement officer in New York. She should be out there condemning this, stopping this, calling for the arrest of these people who are vandalizing police cars. There are cameras all over New York City.

They can catch these people. Look what Mayor Giuliani did to clean up New York, Manhattan, when he was mayor. She could be out there in the entire statement, all these college campuses saying, if you don't stop this, we will arrest you and we will charge you. That's exactly where I would be. And that's where she should be. It makes me so mad because all of these Jewish students are at peril right now. Just what you said, you know, I don't know if these students who are praising Gaza if it's just ignorance on their part, what they're doing if they don't understand.

But if you have the chief law enforcement officer, meaning Tish James, out there condemning it, saying this has got to stop. We have got to protect our Jewish students as well as the Muslim students. Say that. then it would stop, but nothing is happening to stop this. And people are, you know, people get- Because Latisha James actually has no respect for the law, or maybe there's something else going on, which is actually really darn scary.

I mean, if I have to listen to the anti-Semitism that comes out of the squad one more bit, I mean, it just makes you want to throw up, right? So is that part of her thing too? I don't know. But the point is, Pam Bondi is not going to stand for it, you see? Pam Bondi is going in. saying, hey, we have law and order. And if you don't want to abide by our rules, if you're

actually going to try and help people evade, criminals evade justice, then we have a problem. And we're going to shut off the spigot. You're not getting any more money because you see, again, at the end of the day, it's all about money. And she has the power to do this through the Constitution through not just Article 1 section 8 class 4, but also the Commerce Clause. So it's tough going for you, Tish James, I promise you. It's going to get really, really, really ugly. Oh, and you know who else it's going to get ugly for AOC and Ilhan Omar? I'll tell you who it's not getting ugly for the stock market, stock market. Doing great. So far under Donald Trump, take a look. This is my company that I started with my dear friend, Rob. I want to get my logo out of the

way so you can actually see how great some of these stocks our holdings are. We have three portfolios there at 76 research. Go check them out if you can. American resilience. It's a growth portfolio. Inflation protection because you get to worry about that, of course. Income builder, because at some point, you want to retire and you want to be able to live off your investment. So go check that out, 76 Research.com or go to 76 research portfolios. Go look at those portfolios today. So, Pam Bondi is not just after Tish James. I have a feeling she's going to go after Ilhan Omar and she's going to go after AOC. And she's going to be able to go after these ladies because they too are standing in the way of justice.

In fact, AOC is out giving a seminar on live Instagram or TikTok or whatever she uses, telling everybody how they evade. Because what you can do is protect people. The slower they operate, the less they can break. You hear me? This is why this is strategically important. The slower they operate, the less they can break. And so know your rights.

If ice comes to your workplace, if ice comes to your door, you do not have to open the door. You ask them. Law and not to be outdone. you know if AOC actually spoke Spanish. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, if she actually spoke Spanish, she might have actually been able to do more of her service to people. Anyway, Ilhan Omar is going into the full language thing on her version, and she's seeing the exact same stuff.

Okay, so here you see, how do you advise people, like what should they be doing if they're here illegally? And then she goes on about how you basically need to evade and avoid ICE, If ICE attempts to question you, she says, well, then what do you do? You just slow them down because this is the answer. You're not obligated to answer their questions. It's the same exact BS that we heard from AOC. And so again, they're trying to stand in the way.

That's their thinking here. If they just oppose somehow, that's actually going to do the trick. And I'll tell you this. It won't. Because you can't have a system where the states think they are their own. countries, hey, New York, if you want to defect, if you want to become New York all on its own, Donald Trump will tariff you to death. Good luck with that one.

Hey, maybe you can join Canada and you can all pay 25%. There's a moratorium. I'm getting too excited, you can see. Clearly, I like the idea that New York just leaving all together. Can we just get rid of them? They can join Canada and we'll tariff them? that'd be great, right? There's a lot of business there. We'll get something out of it for a little while until everybody leaves. Pam Bondi isn't messing around, not on immigration and not on this new

transports issue because you see Donald Trump just signed an executive order today. He was surrounded by young women. Let me see if I have the video of this because it was really actually very touching and as a mom of girls, I was really struck by this, all these little girls around him. You ready? What a nice picture this is, huh, governor? You ready? We'll do a good job. Wait a little press that. I want to make this a really good signature. You know, this is a big one, right? It is a big one. It's a big deal.

It's a big deal for all those young women who deserve an equal shot at scholarships, at trophies, awards, and shouldn't have to worry that their record is going to be broken by someone who was born. someone who was born a man and therefore biologically speaking, and I can't believe I have to go here, but had years in which while being a boy had more testosterone, and that leads to more muscle growth, et cetera, et cetera. I mean, like, we don't have to go through numbers, but you've seen some of the stuff. I mean, it's wild, right? When you look at how some of these transgender runners have been able to beat women's records in sports, it's astonishing. And Donald Trump's like, yeah, no,

not happening. So just to finish up, I'm directing the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, who, by the way, is doing a fantastic job. In fact, you just left Panama. We're trying to take back the Panama Canal, little things like that. It'll all happen. But Marco is going to make clear to the International Olympic Committee is there, and he's going to make it as clear as anybody can make it that America categorically rejects transgender lunatic. say we want them to change everything, having to do with the Olympics and having to do with this absolutely ridiculous subject that we even have to talk about this subject. If you went back 10 years or 15 years and you would move forward and listen to this,

you'd say, what the hell are they talking about? This is impossible. But you have people out there, Democrats, that are still totally in favor. They can't win the argument. They can't win a debate. They look like fools. And they continue to go on. And it's okay.

because as long as they do this and open borders and all of the other things they talk about, transgender everything, all they want to do is transgender and men playing in women's sports and all of these crazy things. And if they continue, I think we're going to end up ultimately. It's not going to matter because we're never going to go along with them and we're just going to keep winning elections, right, Mike? Keep winning. Keep on winning. They don't have a clue. they are so far gone and so far out in left field.

You had a group of transgenders the other night in New York City, and they led the protest, somebody who was formerly clearly a man, dressed as a woman, leading this protest because young children would no longer have access to surgeries. I mean, like, we don't let children smoke. We don't let children vape. We don't let children drink, but we're going to allow them to make a life-altering decision

at the age of 12 or 13 or 14. Are you kidding me? That's how far gone and nutty these people have become so. No, they're not going to win an election like that. They're in the 0.01% of the population. Most normal people are like, you know what? those are things that should be decided when you're an adult. Heck, you can't even drink a beer until you're 21,

but you can decide to change your gender and get body parts chopped off, not to be too graphic. Riley Gaines, Riley Gaines said, you know who's going to have a problem with this? Attorney General Leticia James, because Leticia James, again, is standing in defiance of the President of the United States, standing in defiance of the American people.

Riley, who herself got beat out by Leah Thomas, who ESPN put up on a pedestal, more on Disney coming in a moment. They're not doing so hot. Again, more on that in a moment. But here's Riley Gaines. Speaking about Tish James and the problem she's got coming her way, because I'm sorry, you know what? America decided.

Regardless of the availability of federal funding, We write to further remind you of your obligation to comply with New York state law. So it sounds like she's picking and choosing which federal laws to comply with here. What do you think about this, Riley? Yeah, I think your analysis is correct. When you have an attorney general tell her entire state to not comply with federal law, she is no longer acting as an attorney general. Let's call it what it is.

She is an activist at that point, which I don't think this comes as a surprise, considering how she treated President Trump and other issues, of course, over her tenure. But this just shows me that November 5th taught the Democratic Party nothing. The majority of Americans wholeheartedly do not support the gender transitioning of minors. That was made very, very clear at the ballot box. So to continue on with this messaging, to continue to quite honestly, in this case, violate federal law, I believe it shows either their ignorance, maybe their apathy, maybe fighting for a system that rewards those who move to tear it down. I'm not sure exactly what it is.

but it's clear nonetheless that November 5th taught the Democratic Party nothing. You've got to ask yourself, really and truly, what are they thinking? Like, you know, you can be a pretty empathetic person. You can be a pretty sensitive person, and, you know, I don't think that leads you to, okay, let's have a 12-year-old change their gender. We had a young woman on this program

who made that mistake. She changed her gender. She said to me, you know, I'll never, ever be able to breastfeed a baby because of these decisions that were made when I was 12. And the doctors bullied her parents. She was struggling with mental health issues. And the next thing you know, she lost her breasts. And then she woke up and said, you know what, this doesn't make me feel any better.

Because you see, to use the Democrats' expression, there's a root cause of the pain that's going on. And it's called mental health in her case. And maybe there's some 0.0001% of the population, that really has this condition. Okay, I'm not going to dispute that. Well, guess what? They can make that decision for themselves

when they're 21 years old. Even give it to them at 18, but some 12-year-old, are you kidding me? And while simultaneously, you're going to leave women in the dust because you're going to have men that think they're women beating them in athletics? I mean, what is the world coming to?

I mean, I consider it. myself a pretty normal person, but apparently I'm some right-wing nut job, according to them, because I just think that, you know, girls sports should be played by girls, naturally born females when I say girls. So this is just all messed up. I mean, it's really, it's really kind of unbelievable where this keeps going. I mentioned empathy, and we're going to get to that because did you know that Captain America has a new superpower? Mm-hmm. I may have just given it away.

I can't believe this. Of all the superpowers, nothing wrong with empathy, but for goodness sakes, okay? Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. A quick shout out to 76 Research, the company I founded with my co-founder, Rob Horton, longtime friend, brilliant investor, managed billions of dollars for many, many years on Wall Street and we've got them at 76 Research. He and I started this because it's really important to both of us actually that all of you are invested in yourselves for the future. And there's so much to come here. Go to 76research.com. Use code word dollar, sign up for

the 76 report. Take a look at those model portfolios, 10 to 15 stocks in each one of them. And this is your chance to actually really build something for the future. Because I'm telling you, the MAGA train has left the station and there's going to be a lot of good stuff to come. So prepare yourself for that. Disney earnings out today, and let me just cut to the chase. Here's the headline for you. Okay, you can go back and forth about all the other things in the portfolio. This was my takeaway.

Despite topping their quarterly profit estimates, they lost Disney Plus streaming subscribers. So they beat earnings estimates, but not with the products that really should. be for their future, right? Streaming. Because that's kind of where it's at. And that's where they were putting all their investment. And yet everybody's leaving. They lost 700,000 subs in Q1, 2025. That's kind of a lot, don't you think? What's going on over at Disney? Well, Bob Eager, the CEO, who Elon Musk has no use for, because don't forget, Bob Eager was the first to pull the money off of X, previously known as Twitter. once Elon bought it, the State Department could no longer be in there, controlling it. And so Disney pulled all their advertising money out in an attempt to try and ruin the company

and then encouraged other companies to do the exact same thing. Well, Bob Eger was asked about his linear networks, and I took some of the transcript for you here, and let's just read from it. He said, I'd like to say something about our linear networks. We are actually at a point where the linear networks in our company are not a burden at all. Really? I guess that's because he just wants you to know he's going to deal with Whoopi. He really doesn't care that nobody likes the view.

It's not a burden. Forget about the FCC and Brandon Carr and Donald Trump breathing down our necks. They're actually an asset, he said. We are programming them and we are funding them at levels. This is a bunch of BS that actually give us the ability to enhance our overall television business. that obviously includes and leans into streaming, which, let's face it, is really the future of the television business. Okay, bum, but-da, there you go. Let's face it, it's really the future of the television business. So he's saying, okay, we got these networks. How do we actually get them

to produce more content so that we can stream it because that's the future? Well, he's right on that. So he goes on, while I won't rule out the possibility of some of the smaller networks in some form or another being configured differently in terms of how we bring them to market, maybe even ownership, but right now we're actually feeling good about the hand that we have and the manner in which we're playing this across both the linear and the streaming businesses at Disney. So that little nugget, what are we going to do about some of the smaller businesses? Is he talking about affiliates?

Because, you know, Trump is talking about taking away those affiliate licenses. But overall, I think the main idea here is he's saying I can use my networks, whether it be ESPN or ABC to try and produce some other content, some other content that we can then take to the streaming side of things. So he's trying to basically leverage what he has, which is exactly what they're doing at the view. They're only leaving Whoopi out, right? Brand new commercial, they're going to stream. Get this people. Now we're streaming every weekend. Right to you. Okay, so this is their big news thing.

in all new view special for the weekends. Now you can catch the view seven days a week. I wonder if you can handle it. It's the weekend view. The weekend view. It's the weekend view. Streaming on ABC News. The weekend view without whoopee.

So they're trying to leverage this content. That's what he said in the earnings call. I'll tell you, the stock faltered a bit. People get nervous because they know that the streaming business is the key, and they haven't figured that out yet. And let me tell you, you're not figuring it out when you're losing 700. thousand subs. A reminder to subscribe to this channel right now if you would. Subscribe, share, like, all that good stuff. But I promised we would talk about Captain America's new

superpower. Uh-huh. Captain America, new actor, new superpower. That would be one, Anthony Mackie coming in for the big job there. He's now Sam Wilson, the new woke superpower superstar, and he's taken over the gig from the other guy, Steve Rogers. Steve Rogers is out. Sam Wilson is in, and he has a new superpower. Can you guess? Can you guess? Maybe you could.

Maybe I gave it away earlier. It's empathy. Ladies and gentlemen, yep. Seriously. Enough, okay? Enough. Like, empathy's great. We should all have it.

But come on. This is now our superpower. We're just going to cry our power. ourselves into doing what everybody else wants, I guess. And his superpower is empathy. And I want the audience, this is him talking. Actually, I think this is the director talking. I want the audience to talk, to walk away with that emotional, inspiring idea of that empathy. This is the director saying, because I think the twists and the turns, the action, the surprise, the fun ride, that that they will absolutely go on is about taking you to that emotional destination. So you realize

that the one superpower of all is empathy. Look, I'm all for empathy. I have a lot of it. I encourage it. It's part of what you want to teach your kids, et cetera. But, I mean, it's a superhero. He's Captain America. Empathy is the new superpower?

Seriously? I mean, come on, people. Enough already. On top of it, you got a guy who doesn't actually believe in the power that is America, in the goodness that is. America. This Anthony Mackey went over to Italy and said on the international stage, this is gross, that really, you know, all the greatness about Captain America that has nothing to do with America.

For me, Captain America represents a lot of different things, and I don't think the term, you know, America should be one of those representations. Like, it's about a man who keeps his word, who has honored dignity and integrity, someone who is trustworthy and dependable. You know, it's kind of, this is kind of like an aspect of a dream coming true. You know, when I was a kid, you know, all of us as actors, I believe, want to get back to that day before someone told you no.

When you look out your door and you see a five-year-old kid with a stick and he's slaying dragons to save the princess in the tower. That kid really believes their dragons out there. That stick is really a sword, and he's really trying to save that princess. And then one day, somebody told him, no, there are no dragons. That's not a sword, and that princess is not there. And all of his little dreams were dashed. So, you know, as an actor, I feel like our job is to get back to the day where we see that dragon

and we slayed that dragon to save that princess. And that's kind of what this movie was for me. Yeah, in America. America's not it. Unbelievable. Your title role, Anthony, is Captain America. And you know, this thing originated back in like the World War II era. That's where the story comes out of.

And I hate to remind everybody. But you know what? If it weren't for the United States of America, we'd all be speaking German. Okay, think about that. The U.S., we may not always be. pretty, but you know what, we get the job done, or we used to get the job done. We used to do it until all this insanity crept in. And before you knew it, we were giving all kinds of crazy money all over the world to everybody else. We were allowing the entire rest of the world to tariff our

goods while we never tariffed them. Things need to change. That's why America voted for Donald Trump. Captain America stands for the greatness that is America. And if this guy doesn't get it, I'm sorry. I don't know what to tell him, but, you know, he's kind of, he's kind of playing with one hand tied behind his back. It's like they're not even giving him a chance. He's been so brainwashed by everybody over at ABC and Marvel and, forgive me, Disney. Okay, Disney.

And so now, you know, he's getting all this backlash. Nobody wants to go see the movie. Why do you want to see a Captain America that says that Captain America doesn't represent America? I mean, the poor guy, they're saying he's the DEI Captain America. Well, maybe that's it. But, you know, maybe you just shouldn't put somebody into the gig that doesn't actually believe in America, that doesn't actually want to talk the talk and be the part. And now it looks like one Anthony Mackie, maybe increasingly, possibly out of a,

job, something that even he admits. And again, maybe not entirely his fault, putting somebody in the wrong spot at the wrong time. And clearly, not telling them how important America is to Captain America and the franchise. Here's this article. It's a quote from Esquire magazine. So Brave New World, right? That's the new show. He's thinking that he's going to get a few more films out of this. The thinking is, you know, there's going to be Avengers Doomsday and Secret Wars. And so there's going to be this series and he'll get to play Captain America for the next 10 years. But he admits to the Esquire reporter that that may not be happening. And it may not be happening because maybe nobody wants to see the movie.

He expressed hope, they said, for another Captain America film after Brave New World. But it'll also recognize that Marvel Studios might just want to wait and see how this thing performs at the box office. And if it doesn't perform so well, then Sam Wilson, his character, will just have to make cameo appearances, and maybe the Captain America title goes to someone else. As maybe it should. Maybe it should be somebody who actually is inspired by all that America is and can be. That's what we're getting back to right now. We're getting back to our roots, hence the expression, make America great again.

You know, sometimes I think to myself it's not that hard. I mean, you look at what happened with Canada. You look at what happened with Mexico, just within the span of some 48 hours. They were folding pretty darn fast. And they were folding because guess what? You know what, if we put tariffs on them, they're kind of out of business, if you would. We still have the opportunity to do that. You know, we go around and we help everyone.

everyone else but ourselves. I mean, think about Zelensky under fire for this one. This is the head of Ukraine saying he can't figure out where any of the money went, right? Let me fast forward this clip because it's in another language.

You can see there on the bottom and have some of the subtitles. He's going on, oh, you know, people are so mad and so mad in America. They're so mad because, you know, apparently there's $177 billion dollars and they want to know where it went and why we haven't won, et cetera. Well, you did have to fire your deputy defense secretary and your defense secretary because

they were siphoned and stuff off the top and that all came out. The guy's like off in Dubai now. He says, you know, there's all this money and he actually admits at the end of this interview that he has no clue where it went. no clue where the money is, you know, because it goes to other things like training and PR effectively, transport. He didn't say PR, but you know what I mean? They had to pay that PR person, right?

The transgender PR person from America, it's not just the prices for weapons, he says, it's all the other stuff, humanitarian programs, social programs, social media, right? And so they don't know where the money went, not all of it. he can't tell you. He can't tell you. I don't know where all this money is, he said. Donald Trump says, yeah, you know what? We're going to give you that.

We want something back. He knows what he wants from Ukraine. Rare earth, minerals. One of the problems we have with the Russia-Ukraine situation is that we want to see some equalization because we're in for close to $300 billion, and they're in for $200,000. billion dollars less. Why are they in for less? Because Biden never asked them for money. He never said, you got to pay. He never did. All he did is hand out money. So we're talking

with them right now and we're actually working some deals right now. So we have some guarantees and some other things to keep that whole situation to go, really going. I mean, going. We're telling Ukraine, they have very valuable rare earth. We want what we put up to go in terms of a guarantee. We want a guarantee. We're handing them money hand over fist. We're giving them equipment. European is not keeping up with us.

They should equalize. Look, we have an ocean in between. They don't. It's more important for them than it is for us. But they're way below us in terms of money. and they should be paying at least equal. They should really be paying much more than us, but let's say equal to us,

and they have billions and billions of dollars below. So we're looking to do a deal with Ukraine where they're going to secure what we're giving them with their rare earth and other things. In other words, you can't get something for nothing, not with Donald Trump. Those days are over, okay? Ukraine, you want money? We need some securitization. What are you going to offer up for that loan?

Rare earth minerals. Okay, okay, now we're talking. Finally, you get a business person in the house who actually understands all this. And that, I cannot tell you how incredibly, incredibly, incredibly important that is. Having somebody who understands all of this stuff works. I loved it the other day, he was talking about tariffs and the effectiveness of tariffs, right? In this case, he's talking about the EU and whether the EU should be paying its quote-unquote fair share, right? Like, do they need to actually be contributing to the Ukraine effort more than us? And if they can, if they don't, then maybe we should re-examine things, even with the EU, who has always been sort of our ally, right? Here he is. Tariffs are

something that works, and we don't know how long they'll work, but right now, we are the quote-unquote pot of gold, so let's... We've disagreed before, but, and I'm sure they didn't have any idea what they were talking about because already you see what's happening. Look at, look at Columbia. Look at what happened with that. Everybody said that with Colombia it was going to be a disaster. In one, in one hour, everything was settled. You know why? Tariffs, tariffs, without tariffs, they wouldn't have been the same way. They would not have treated me the way they treated me, which was extremely nicely. And I don't want to use it. use countries. I don't want to use names, but tariffs are very powerful, both economically

and in getting everything else you want. Tariffs for us, nobody can compete with us because we're the pot of gold. But if we don't keep winning and keep doing well, we won't be the pot of gold, and then tariffs won't be so good for us. But when you're the pot of gold, the tariffs are the tariffs are very good. They're very powerful, and they're going to make our country very rich again. Thank you very much, everybody. The pot of gold. All right.

And I'm just looking at some of your comments here, and I just want to say, hey, thank you. We've got so many people that are here regular, Ian, it's good to see you again. Leslie, Don, really excited. Don, you like that Disney story, right? Because I know Don is like all over Disney from a trading perspective. I don't think he likes Disney very much. It's actually gone up a little bit from where it was, but it's got serious challenges. Can they get their act together on streaming?

I don't know. Like, I think that legacy business is actually something that is more of a hindrance. And I don't think they're going to create the content that they want out of it because you get to think in a whole new way, right? We're not talking studios and prompters and scripts and producers. It's actually a very different kind of product. So, again, I'm just looking at your comments here in real time and just thanking you all for your humor and your enthusiasm, cat-craves.

your comments on Captain anti-America. That's how it feels, right? It's like, where do they get this? Can they not, like, sit him down before he goes out on the international stage and give him kind of a pep talk? Or maybe that was the pep-top. Dom Baca saying Germany was the second most common language

in America until World War II. That's kind of amazing. I forgot about that, right? I mean, I'll tell you, we are American first, though, right? When Pete Hegsess said the other day, this was really powerful. I've always been a big fan of Pete's. used to work together at Fox. He's a great guy. And he said, diversity is not our strength. That's

like the biggest misnomer. It's the biggest lie that they try and feed you. In the military, unity is our strength. Right. We want to be together as one. That's what actually really, really matters. And this DEI stuff, this just divides us further. This trans stuff, dividing us, dividing us, divide and conquer, I guess. We don't need that. We're better than that. We really are. And so I just, I think that our day has come, if you would, everyone, where we need to. We need to. I wanted it. There was a, somebody sent something in the chat here, and I wanted to thank him. One of the, one of the viewers had sent something. And one, I appreciate your generosity. And two, I wanted to read it out loud, but now I'm not finding it. He was laughing about Andrea Mitchell, falling asleep on a sleep on. the air and saying, Triff, you know what, you should just fall asleep on the air and have a live camera and we'll pay for that. So thank you for the compliment. It's hard for me to actually see it on the computer at this particular moment. But again, I really do appreciate all,

oh, here we go. Al Gillett, Al Gillett, right, Trish, you should fall asleep and we'll just pay for that. And then you wake up just an idea. Would I be better at, better than Andrew at that? I don't know. Anyway, it's really great to have you all here. I thank you. I really want you. Go over to 76 research. We still have that on the screen. Do me that favor. But also, make sure you subscribe to this show. Make sure you like it, share it, make a comment down below. Tell me what you think. Are you, here's a question for you.

Captain America. Let me know in the comments once the chat has ended below. Thank you for being here. I will see you back on the show again tomorrow. We got news, baby, lots of it.
