Welcome back, everyone. I hope you had an amazing, amazing Thanksgiving. I definitely did. I was caught in some of that air traffic. So I've got to say, you know, the airport is not a good place to be over Thanksgiving. Glad I'm back. We got a lot to get to you right now because I'll tell you, a lot's going on on the cash and Bongino front. People are talking about basically a civil war erupting within the FBI itself as you have all these Biden holdovers and then sort of the new crowd and also the desire for the new crowd to clean up the joint. We're going to talk about that. Also, Tim Walts, for goodness sakes, I mean, you lost it in the New York Times. I mean, maybe not the view. Maybe not Whoopi Goldberg. It's not quite that bad yet. But yeah, it's not good. You've lost the New York Times because there was an apparent $1 billion worth of fraud going on in your state. By the way, they knew this. Merrick Garland knew this. How the heck, ladies and gentlemen, did Kamala Harris ever make the decision to go with that guy? Woo, she must have really had some insecurities, shall we say? Oh, by the way, the president has really. released his MRI. We'll talk about that. And CNN is losing it as we speak because you see there's this media radar thing, media radar that the White House put out. And they're, you know, they're playing

back. This is fire with fire. They're like, okay, media, you want to tell lies about us? We're going to tell all the truth about you. And we're going to call it out in real time. We begin today on Cash and Bongino, who are not willing to just say, take things rolling over. they're coming back and they're basically making it very, very clear. Comey, you're not off the hook. In fact, a lot of you guys are not off the hook. Here's the article first in Newsweek Cash Patel reveals FBI, DOJ, executing multiple options, multiple options against one James Comey.

How do you like that? So what does that mean, right? Because you know, guys, I have been super frustrated because I look at Pambondi and what went down there. And I know that they're talking about going back for appeals, but I'm sorry. I don't think that there's going to be a lot of room there. with the appeal front. I mean, I've looked at the law, and I'd like to sit here and tell you, hey, she can appeal all day and it's going to work. She can with Leticia James, maybe. I mean,

I would just actually go back and start over and say, hey, we're going to get indictment number two, and they're working on that. But basically, Cash came out. He didn't interview with the Ebb of Times and said, they're looking at everything. And this is really freaking people out. In other words, the judicial process, it can do whatever it wants. And yes, you know, the appeal thing is underway, but we've got other avenues to explore. What does he mean by that? He's like, okay, wait, wait until after Thanksgiving. I have a little bit of a clue about what that means,

and I want to share it with you. But let's first go to that interview that he just did with Epic Times where he basically makes it very, very clear. They are not done. And this is why people are freaking out right now. A criminal case against Director Comey was recently dismissed. What is your reaction to that?

Well, because it's pending in terms of appellate status and what we are going to do for the next steps. The judicial process can make whatever determination wants, but we the FBI and our partners at the DOJ have numerous options to proceed, and we're executing on all those options. So we're not done. Any detail available?

I would say stay tuned for right after Thanksgiving, and you'll see multiple responses, in my opinion. Okay, so what does that mean? What does that mean? Well, I think the appeal is going to be really challenging, right? So I think it's going to mean other things. We're talking Arctic Frost-type things. We're talking about those burn bags. Remember they talked about that one before? Well, here's another one. He's saying that he wants all those burn bags to be made public. So apparently, and he went on in Dan Bondino actually went on to Fox in the morning and said that they had found this room,

this room that people told them about where there was just all this locked up stuff. So it's not like literally bags and bags worth of files, but rather computer files, right, that they were able to find. And a lot of this got into the so-called Arctic Frost investigation that we've told you about here, and it has come out bit by bit. Tulsi Gabbard, by the way, has also done a lot on everything, going all the way back to 2016. So there's more there there. And I think they're looking for more stuff that they might be able to pin on Comey. I mean, you had all those handwritten notes. this might have been part of the burnbags type stuff. What can they do with that?

What can they do with that, right? Because the darn, darn, darn, darn statute of limitations, thank very much, Pam. We had handwritten notes where he was talking about, you know, the confidence in the system, could potentially be undermined, it seems, or Kerry, you know, he could talk about Trump and his financial ties to Moscow, of which there were none, mind you, of which there were none. This was all part of the play back in 2016 with the Dirty Dossiere. and all that stuff. But here's what I would say. You know what they do have and you know what is important to look at and whether or not they can get Comey in this. I'm going to be honest,

I really don't like that statute of limitations and I really, I'm sorry, you know, Pam's a wonderful woman, but she may not be the best in front of the DOJ because to me you don't miss the deadlines. To me, when you have a statute of limitations that was due to expire on September 30 at 2005 and you got a guy Eric Siebert in there who got put in on January 21st, 2020, and wasn't doing squat all while you had Comey's son-in-law, by the way, working in the darn office. What the heck? You got a big, giant mole in the place. And you didn't know that, Pam? Now, Don Baca, to his credit, because I'm watching the chat in real time, pointed out the other day, hey, you know what? Pam didn't get there until February.

Okay, fine. So what? So she didn't pick Eric and she didn't, you know, watch over him from the very, very beginning there in the northern or eastern Virginia office, but she should have at some point recognize that this was going nowhere. And by the way, Comey's son was in the office. Like how does nobody figure that one out? If the president is telling you, I'd really like to get an endowment for Comey and I think that we have enough. And by the way, it's not just the president. It's Ted Cruz. It's a bunch of people. Rand Paul that are like, the guy lied under air in 2017 on, under oath. On air. I should say on air. Yeah, he might have, he literally might have been on some air. Anyway, they had all that and it's all gone nowhere. But here's the difference now. You've got the FBI saying, we're not going anywhere. By the way, this is really bugging them at this particular moment in time. And when I say them, I mean the so-called deep state. I mean any, you know, people that were aligned with Comey, I mean any people that were aligned with Biden at the FBI. Some of them have been fired. But, uh, I, uh,

under concerns and allegations that they were doing things that were improper related to this Arctic Frost investigation, but they're really worried. They're worried it's all going to come out right now. So you know what they're trying to do? They're trying to go after these guys. They're trying to go after Cash with their so-called dossier on Cash Patel. Apparently, when he got off the plane after poor Charlie Kirk, I mean, that's just, I'm still not, it's so raw still.

poor Charlie Kirk was killed and he got off the plane apparently didn't have an FBI jacket and they're putting out of these reports now about how he insisted on having a jacket, this, that, and the other because he was concerned about the optics of it. Listen, I mean, optics do matter. I don't know if, in fact, he threw a fit about that or not that they didn't have a jacket for him, but I think out of respect to his friend, like you don't want to get off, you know, in your hoodie, okay? Like, you know, if he didn't have a suit on, he flew straight there and that was my understanding.

he and Dan went straight there as soon as it happened. You know, he, out of respect, yes, for his friend, may not have wanted to walk off the plane in a freaking hoodie, if that's, in fact, what the case is. But now they're making this whole thing about it with their cash dossier because they're trying to take him down before he does that to them. Well, you know what? You don't have to look very far.

Go back to what Chuck Grassley was saying on this Arctic Frost stuff just about six weeks ago. I've recently been informed by Verizon that it's, at least 11 members with Verizon accounts were affected. That includes a hard line for Senator Cruz's office and a staffer cell phone for former Senator Leffler. AT&T informed me they challenged the legal basis for Jack Smith's efforts and Smith back down.

Okay. So that's the Jack Smith thing. That's the Arctic Frost. Whether or not that is directly tied to Comey, you know, maybe we'll see in due time, but I will say this, you know, it was bad and they didn't have the right kind of orders. And we've gone through this before. And I've told you about how telecom companies need these various orders. And even if they do have the orders, the cell phone companies don't have to comply if they think that they were illegal. But this is, you know, Jack Smith and this is Arctic Frost, and now all of this is potentially coming out as cash says, hey, we have other avenues to pursue Comey through. And we have other people, by the way, that we're going to continue pursuing Brennan, I'm looking at you, right? I mean, there's a lot more. Jack Smith, I'm looking

at you. So they had that J6 probe. It's almost hard to keep track of these things. I mean, whether you're talking about the impeachment after impeachment after impeachment that we had to go through because of the Ukraine call, et cetera, because of, oh, well, the Russian dossier, first time around we were dealing with that scandal. I mean, it's like one after another. And the media has lied and lied and lied and lied throughout, which Donald Trump is pointing out. And then they freak out and they want to attack them because they're like, how dare you? How dare you go after us? Well, I'll tell you, this is going to be a big deal. And whether Comey's connected to it at this point, I don't know. But I think we're here and seeing a lot of breadfew.

crumbs getting dripped out there. Yeah, okay, so maybe Pam can't bring this case on appeal. I'm sorry. Go watch Wednesday show. You see me just implode on that thing because I'm so annoyed about it and the statute of limitations that was effectively missed, if you would. I mean, they gave Lindsay, what, eight days to bring charges and that was just a disaster. Look, I'm sorry, like under the law, it doesn't look like she could. She doesn't look like she was authorized because they needed to get the judges to sign off on the new appointment when they decided to get rid of Eric. Well, Eric hung on for dear life as long as they could, I guess whisper and sweet nothing's into their ears so that he could keep the gig long enough so that

they would have no room to turn? I mean, after all, I'd have to assume he's buddies, buddies with Comey's son-in-law who's working in the same place. I don't know how this stuff happens, frankly. Who's doing the vetting? Please. Anyway, Ted Cruz, he's saying, this is worse than Watergate. And I think it is. And I think this is what they're worried about coming out right now. Is Joe Biden's Watergate. Merrick Garland was a fundamentally corrupt Attorney General. Jack Smith was a fundamentally corrupt prosecutor. This was a political enemies list from the beginning,

197 subpoenas for 430 Republican entities and individuals. that is an absolute and egregious abuse of power. Yeah, I think so. I mean, not to mention the guy that was starting the investigation that was offering up to Jack Smith was basically the one who was also okaying it. He started it and he okayed it, which, by the way, is a violation of what the FBI calls. It's no self-approval rule 3523. So what the heck was really going on?

This is what's going to come out. And so now they don't know what to do except to attack cats. and to attack Dan. That's all they got, right? Because he's just dangled this threat out there. They're like, whew, we got through. No, you know, issue with Comey. We got through the statute of limitations, Leticia. I'm sorry, they're coming back at you. You're not going to be able to wiggle your way out of that one. You're not. And Comey, I don't know, because I don't know what else is there. I don't know what the burn bags are filled with. But if you're coming up in the burn bags, yeah, I imagine you're a little worried about that one. I don't think it's over. I don't

think it's over even for Brennan, right? Brennan, who's trying to say, in his holier than thou voice. You know, I, I don't even, I don't even do evidence. I just do intelligence. Did you find direct evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Putin and Moscow while you were there? Ms. Rooney, I never was an FBI agent. I never was a prosecutor, so I really don't do evidence.

I do intelligence throughout the course of my career. Right, because who cares about evidence? No, no, no, we just need, We just need a viewpoint. We just need some color on the situation, a little intel that we can use to our advantage. My gosh, I mean, maybe in the past they weren't supposed to, but with Trump, all bets were off. They weaponized the intelligence department. I'm sorry, guys.

I don't know how else to tell you that. I mean, you're not foolish. You know what happened with the Hunter Biden laptop. You know that they sat there and lied through their teeth, 51X poops and spies. I mean, I was even at the time. Like, wait a second. You know, how am I supposed to interpret this? Is this really just misinformation being fed to us, courtesy of the Russians and Rudy Giuliani?

How do I interpret this? I'm a pretty straight shooter, right? They tried to basically play mind games with everyone, and I'm done with it, I'm over it, and it can't ever happen again. It just can't. And Cash knows that, and Dan knows that, and they're out there trying to do the right thing. Brennan, I'm sorry, you're in trouble too, buddy. So this is why you're seeing this meeting go on right now.

This is why you're seeing the dossiers emerging on Cash Patel as they try and go after them for having a country singing girlfriend. Who, by the way, is seeing her life in danger. And God forbid, anybody actually protect her. Somehow that's not allowed because it's cash, because it's Trump. You understand where we're going here with this? Anyway, you know what, Brennan, you're not out of the woods yet. I don't think, I think he's right. Comey, you're not out of the woods yet. The whole

kitten caboodle of you. Here we go. Your thoughts of Mr. Higher Honor, Jim Jordan. Well, yeah, I mean, he's not the only one, Sean. I mean, we just referred John Brennan three weeks ago because we believe he definitely lied to Congress when he told us that he wasn't involved with the dossier and didn't want it included in the intelligence community assessment. Only problem is, Tulsi Gabbard declassified and released a report from the House Intelligence Committee, which said just the opposite, said he was involved, did one. in. In fact, he was approached by a CIA official who said, Mr. Brennan, this dossier doesn't hold up. We shouldn't include it? Brennan's response was, yeah, but doesn't it ring true?

Showing his motivation, his motive, was to just go after President Trump, even though the evidence wasn't there. So, and we know that, right? And again, I don't know where we're going to go with Comey, given the stupid statute of limitations, given we know everything, given, yes, it certainly looks as though he perjured himself under oath. And yet, September 30th, 2025 was the end of the statute of limitations. And it wasn't until, what, September 22nd that we actually saw Lindsay Halligan get appointed. She had like just a few days to pull this thing off, all while technically speaking,

it's technically not the right way to have appointed someone. And I'm sorry, but I'm looking at you, Pam, because those technicalities, they matter. actually do matter in law and in a court of law. And even if we know somebody's guilty of sin, if the technicalities are all screwed up, your whole case is screwed up. So I'm going to go back to what Cash is saying. He's looking for other ways because, you know, the law is one thing. Okay, and the law is the law. Okay, don't get me wrong. But at his point, the judiciary is the judiciary. And then he said, DOJ and FBI, we're going to go back at it ourselves, whether that means appeal, whether that means something else. I'd be looking through the burn bags to see if you

he comes up again. I'd also be looking at bringing him in if I were, say, on the house intel committee or if I was on the comers committee and I'd say, hey, you know what? We need you back in the seat. Now, he may choose the fifth because he doesn't want to perjure himself. I don't know. Maybe he figured I've already played that game and it almost, almost wound me up in jail. But I would say there are more ways to skin the cat in this case. And that's what they're realizing. Okay. So that's what they're realizing. And so the loyalists are panicking. The loyalists are issuing the cash dossier, the dossier that says, oh, cash was concerned about how he appeared when he took that plane to go investigate in Utah after his friend, Charlie Kirk was gunned down. I'm sure he did care

because he knew that picture would be everywhere. But they take something and they make it into something else entirely. You know, as though he's like a beauty queen and doesn't want to get off the plane until this, that, and the other. No, no, no. He just out of respect for his friend, and this is if it's true, and that's a big if, okay, I would think out of respect for your friend, you don't want to be in the sort of, you know, hooty, okay? Like, like, you don't take it seriously. You want the FBI on the ground. And that means you got to be in a suit and tie, you're going to be in your FBI gear. And he knew that that picture would go everywhere, but they're taking this and they're trying to make this into something to say, oh, he's not serious about his job.

They've got all kinds of nicknames, ridiculous nicknames for him. You understand this is an orchestrated attempt to now take down the head of the FBI, and you've got to ask yourself why. I know why. I know why. It's because they know that he's got some more there there. They're afraid of Arctic Frost. They don't want this coming out.

And so they figured, can we polish him off before he gets? gets to this. Oh, while we're at it, we'll take out his deputy, Dan Bonjino, one of my former colleagues at Fox, one of the greatest people, I'm just going to tell you in this business, all right? There's not a lot, I can count them on one hand. Not a lot of great people in this business, and a lot of people will lie to you. Dan's not that kind of guy. And by the way, he didn't need this job. We've talked about this before. He had a very successful show. Heck, I miss him on his show. I really do. He had a fantastic podcast. And now he's there taking a all kinds of slings, all kinds of mud from everyone that gets a chance to throw it at him.

And they're worried about him. They're worried about him. And so they recently tried to attack him with emails that, by the way, he couldn't have been sending because he wasn't even in the gig at the time. They're worried because he made this prediction. Remember a couple of months ago? And I told you, listen to this, like bookmark it because he's not kidding. Dan Bongino, I'm telling you. Like, it doesn't matter who you know, Comey.

It doesn't matter that your son-in-law was in the office. They're going to find you. Let me ask you about, are you going to be looking into when Cash and Pam, any potential collusion between the DOJ, Letitia James, the novel legal theory of Alvin Bragg or Nathan Wade or Fannie Willis and the DOJ? Is that something? Has anything come up? Is there any way to determine whether or not evidence was destroyed in any of these cases? Well, there's always a way to determine that. I don't want to comment on that specific case right now for a reason.

I don't want to get ahead of the Department of Justice on that. But I want to say this. You know, the FBI obviously has the public corruption portfolio. And yes, if you are a corrupt politician out there, if you are engaged in behavior, you know what you're doing, we're going to find you. I promise. No one is going to get off the days of selecting. and putting your, you know, partisan bias on and taking care of your friends. Those days are over.

You know what, Sean? I don't have any friends. I don't want any friends. Well, maybe outside of you. And I don't care. I didn't come here for the money. I didn't come here to make, I know. You don't go there for the money.

I can tell people that for sure. I don't give a damn about friends. I don't have any friends. I don't want any friends. I got my wife. I got you and I got a small crew of people. So I don't need any friends. If you're a politician, screwing around, we're coming for you.

That'll help. Yeah, go. You want a friend of D.C.? Right. Get a, go get a Labradoodle like I have, because there are no friends in D.C. You've been doing this around, what, 30 years? There are no friends here. No, and he's not playing for friends, right?

So now anybody that basically is working on the inside, covert ops, whatever you want to call them, right? That maybe was, you know, trying to speed this Arctic Frost thing up. They're now run scared. And so what did they do? They publish a dossier about cash. And then they put this little number out. They're saying newly released emails obtained through a FOIA request revealed that Dan Bongino was approached in March to help redact and censor the Epstein files. And he's like, no friggin' way.

Hello people. And this is kind of a lame one because, you see, he actually hadn't even started the gig. So he wrote on, this is just, you know, within the last 24 hours or so. Here we go. This was, yeah. I mean, today's December 1. And this was just yesterday. He's writing there, folks, I entered my duty on March.

17th, okay, this is Dan Bongino writing on Twitter, and he's doing this from his FBI account. So FBI D. Bongino, if you want to actually follow that. He said, look, I started this on March 17th. The email's in the chain you see forwarded to me at my request. He writes, were sent below I even began my position. And I wanted to review what had done before I entered on duty. It was a priority to me that I knew what the heck was there and what was happening. And so that's why I looked at all of this. And so I just have to say, like, if you guys are going to try and find something, you might have to do better than, you know, what somebody wears when they get off the plane or what somebody is, you know, emailing or or asking to have emailed to them

ahead of time. But think of what's going on here. Let me see if I can make this even bigger for you. Okay, so these are all these emails, and they're saying, okay, because he wanted to know information about what he was going to be taking on before he took it on somehow, that that is, that is, you know, an indictment on him that he was trying to cover something up. I would be shocked. And you know what, I'm not the only one who knows him. You know, he's not the kind of person that would take that on, or if he knew that he had to cover something out, but it's just not what he would do.

That's not sort of in his DNA. So I would just say, guys, you're going to have to do better, okay? I get it. You're trying, you're trying to take down two of these people in the here and now. And I just don't think it's going to happen. They are competent and they're going to keep going back and they're going to keep trying to do their jobs day in and day out, despite the noise, despite what you're trying to do. And we know what you're trying to do.

Don't, you know, I mean, where was the level of scrutiny out in Minnesota? Tim Walts, I mean, for goodness sakes, a billion dollars in fraud. How does that happen under his watch? What a, what a governor. What a governor he is. I'll tell you, this is not looking good. I mean, when the New York Times desert you, Timmy boy, and they're like, this is bad.

And they do a giant expose. And all they can really say is like, this is really bad. Prosecutors say members in the Smalley, I don't know, you can call them quasi-mafia, right, a group with growing political power were largely responsible for this. And President Trump has drawn national attention to the scandal amid his crackdown on immigration. Of course, it was devastating what we learned.

An Afghan refugee who came here who had worked with our intel ops and with our military in Afghanistan was the one responsible for gunning down the National Guard members and killing one of them, 20 years old, her whole life ahead of her. So yes, Donald Trump has said, listen, We don't need any more headaches, and he's making a big deal out of Minnesota. Meanwhile, Tim Walts is trying to say, like, this is not a big deal? I'm sorry, it's a billion dollars.

How is this not a big deal? Let's go to Caroline Levitt moments ago there at the White House talking about this very issue. Law-abiding American citizens. In fact, according to a new bombshell report from the New York Times, Somalian migrants in Minnesota have defrauded nearly $1 billion in taxpayer-funded benefits. under Democrat Governor Walts' leadership. President Trump is putting an end to this dangerous America last approach. His position is rooted in common sense.

In the wake of last week's atrocity, yes, it is common sense, right? I mean, common sense, for goodness sakes. Even the New York Times, as I said, has common sense on this one, but he's out there deflecting, trying to say, oh, this is somehow a race issue? excuse me, like you're not allowed to call out a billion dollars in fraud. You're not allowed to because this is Ilhan Omar's territory.

They're a protected class. I don't think so. I don't, Timmy. Well, speaking of the Somali community, President Trump is targeting them and your state in part. He's citing fraud as the reason for his crackdown. Dozens of people of East African descent have been charged, convicted, and sentenced for stealing more than a billion dollars in taxpayer money from government programs during COVID. As you know, Governor, that is more than Minnesota spends each year to run its Department of Corrections.

So I want to give you a chance to respond to this. Do you take responsibility for failing to stop this fraud in your state? Well, certainly I take responsibility for putting people in jail. Governors don't get to just talk theoretically. We have to solve problems. And I will note, it's not just Somalis. Minnesota is a generous state. Minnesota's a prosperous state. A. A well-run state where AAA bond-rated.

Really well-run, you lose a billion dollars, buddy boy. But that attracts criminals. There's a reason Minnesota ranks as the top, lowest childhood poverty, best place for children to live. Oh my gosh. By the way, when you look at the New York Times story and I can go through this with you, what were they actually doing? They were taken and stealing the money from the kids that deserved it and needed it. Yeah, I mean, this is a bunch of phony, you know what? People are taking advantage that they're going to prison. That is totally disconnected with demonizing an entire group of people who came here fleeing civil war

and created a vibrant community that makes Minnesota in this country better. But that's Donald Trump. Deflect, demonized, come up with no solutions. He's not going to help fix anything on fraud. Oh, my gosh. So now it's like somehow racist of you to even say any of this stuff. I'm sorry. Like that is not that.

Of course, that's what they do, right? Like that's straight out of their playbook. You know, when in doubt, just call them a racist and there you go. But this is New York Times story. Okay, there it is, Timmy boy. I don't know what to tell you. And when I look at the details of this, I see that it's a fraud scandal that rattled Minnesota, staggering, in its scale and in its brazenness. New York Times words, not mine.

Quote, federal prosecutors charge dozens of people with felonies accusing them as stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from a government program meant to keep children fed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Oh yes, Minnesota is a generous state. In fact, they say it right there in the first part of the article. They said at first many in the state saw the case as a one-off abuse during a health emergency, but as new schemes targeting the state's generous safety net programs came to light state and federal officials began to grapple with a jarring reality. They had a problem on their hands because scores of individuals made small fortunes. And guess what?

They were all part of Miss Minnesota's. There it is, New York Times words, okay? Somali Community. Not mine, New York Times. And they were making small fortunes here by setting up companies that build state agencies for millions of dollars worth of social services that were never provided. Oh my gosh. This is messed up.

This is sick stuff. Okay? This is really, really sick stuff. And this is a very, I encourage you to go look at this article, but you're not allowed to say it's sick stuff. No, no, that's racist to say, for goodness sakes. I mean, just ask the ladies on the view who are desperately trying to stoke this quote-unquote civil war that they think that they can get going here in the United States of America. I'm sorry, like people aren't having it. Whoopi,

you can keep telling us this. No one's buying it. I realize, I realize, Bob Eager, Disney, they seemingly want you to just keep attacking the president. It's not good for your ratings. And honestly, I don't really think it's that good for you, given that you are good. governed by the FCC. I'm all for freedom of speech, but you guys have jumped the shark. You did it a long time ago. There's no semblance of news in your program. Welcome back. So you know who is attacking Minnesota governor, Tim Walz, over Somali Americans in Minnesota who were convicted of defrauding a COVID-eer government program for hundreds of millions of dollars. He called the governor a slur for people with intellectual

disabilities. And here's what Tim Walz responded. The seriously blank governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing either through fear, incompetence, or both. Using that term is just so damaging. It's hurtful. We have fought three decades to get this out of our schools. Kids know better than to use it. But look, this is what Donald Trump has done. He's normalized this type of hateful behavior. Then he goes on to say, well, he ought to release his MRI. So guess what, Donald Trump did? He released his MRI today, actually.

And flying colors, what do you know? Pretty good results out of this little MRI. Here we go. Yeah, the president released it amid all of this pressure. So finally he was like, okay, you want to go on about my MRI? The condition that everybody was so focused on, it was a chronic venous insufficiency condition that Trump had face some claims and concerns about the condition would occur when veins and legs cannot effectively

return blood back to the heart, leading to symptoms such as swelling, aching, and cramping. The White House says the condition is benign and common. And so the U.S. Navy captain, who issued a summary of this report, said as part of President Donald J. Trump's comprehensive executive physical advanced imaging, that would be the MRI, was performed because men in his age group benefit from a thorough evaluation of cardiovascular and abdominal health. The purpose of this imaging is to be prevented. To identify issues earlier, would have helped if, you know, Biden had done some of that, to identify them early and to, of course,

ensure that he's going to be okay. We go on here. Here is the Daily Mail reporting on it. And it says President Trump's abdominal imaging is perfectly normal. The health, no evidence of arterial narrowing, impairing, blood vessels or abnormalities. In other words, everything's good. The heart chambers are good.

in size, et cetera, excellent cardiovascular system in excellent health. So this was, you know, Tim, Tim's trying to change the subject. He's saying, oh, you know, he's mentally impaired. We need the results of the MRI because he used this term that the kids used to use when I was a kid, okay? Like, I'm sure that they used it when Donald Trump was he's that much older than me was a kid. Well, you can't use this term today. I mean, my kids have told me, and they're definitely not like, you know, the PC police, but they're like, Mom, you can't use that term. You can't use it. You can't use it. So it's been wiped out, as Tim so proudly says.

And yet, like, somehow they can call them a dictator. They can say he's akin to Hitler. I mean, I find that pretty offensive and alarming. But here we are with a billion dollars in fraud. So you guys can try and twist the subject all you want. But we still know what's up. Do we not? And this is why the White House has had it with shows like the view,

with CNN, with CBS, Yes, with a whole lot of them, right? The mainstream media, given all the lies that they have told us over the now years, it's getting tiring. It's getting tiring. Well, there's a new way to deal with it over at the White House. They've got a new website, shall we say, take a week. Our laws are clear.

You can refuse illegal orders. You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders. The president has never given an illegal order. These people know what they are doing. Ah, okay, cute, right? So CNN's losing it over this new site. So they're talking about fake media.

They know what fake media is. They said it's misleading, it's bias, and it is being called out by them. So they're exposing it. And they're putting out their fake media the week, if you would, and they get a little clip and the whole thing. I mean, it's kind of interesting, right? And you can even actually go and search the offender hall

of shame. I mean, look, what are you going to do? The entire institution of the media business is so far left that I think he felt like I got to fight back however I can. And so I got to call their their craziness out. But when you call their craziness out, boy, do they get crazy. I mean, they get really, really crazy. Like this little dude over on CNN who got fired and then rehired somehow, but writes now a newsletter, thank God he doesn't have a show because, well, this is just what talent can say is not really talent. And I say that as talent. Here we go. Here's the reporter on all things media for CNN losing it over this offender hall of shame. The president has ramped up his attacks on journalists in recent weeks. This isn't a new strategy for him. We have seen this.

What is this all about? Is this just about controlling the narrative? To de-legitimize the media, I would say it's to de-legitimize the media, Jessica. This media bias monitor is being produced at taxpayer expense. It's a featured part of the White House website. And it's about trying to tarnish and demean various news outlets, as well as media outlets, that have nothing to do with the news business. For example, one of the targets of this White House webpage is Whoopi Goldberg, you know,

the entertainer who co-hosts the view. So it's about targeting perceived liberals, perceived enemies, and as always, trying to attack the messenger. But here's what happens whenever the president or his aides go after a jury. I'm sorry, but Whoopi Goldberg, she's about the worst offender. I mean, I'm telling you. She deserves, the woman thinks that you'd be better off

being a gay, lesbian, black woman in Iran today than in the U.S. of A, to which I'm like, hey, honey, you go for it, you know? first flight out. Journalists or go after a news outlet, it makes people wonder what the fuss is about, what the controversy is about. The other day, the president called a New York Times reporter ugly.

It made more people want to read the story and find out what the story was about. That story was about the president's stamina and how he's less visible than he was during Trump 1.0 back in 2017. When he called a reporter at CBS stupid the other day, I wanted to know what was that story about. The reporter was asking about

Afghans coming to the U.S. and the vetting process of the U.S. government. A couple weeks ago, and the president called a reporter, Piggy, what was she asking about? The Epstein files. So I think when the president insults reporters or when the White House goes and claims media outlets are biased,

it might draw more attention, more curiosity, about what the stories are about. It might actually draw more attention to the questions being asked. And that way, people can make up their own minds about whether the stories are legitimate, whether the questions are fair. Look, the White House, like any other entity,

It can go ahead and criticize the press. Criticism can be a good thing. But when I look at this particular media bias monitor, it seems mostly to be a way to delegitimize the press. No, it's a way to fight back, because when the press is constantly saying things that are inaccurate or wrong, I mean, hello, for goodness sakes, this is the same press that was like,

oh, the Hunter Biden laptop, that was the only Russian misinformation. It's the same press that doubled down on the Russian dossier. This is the same press that said, oh no, that virus couldn't possibly have come from the Wuhan lab. I mean, after a while, like, I'm sorry, like they're doing it to themselves. They're being exposed over and over again. He's just finding another way to expose them because, you know, what else are you supposed to do? How do you fight back in that kind of environment? Seriously, guys, I mean, I think that you all

have figured out your own way to fight back. You're over here watching this show, and I thank you for that. A quick reminder, if you haven't gone to my 76 research, do make sure that you. you do that. 76 research.com. Use code word dollar, my gift to you. We're looking at a market that's a really interesting one right about now. I do want to make sure that you subscribe to this show. We're going to be back tomorrow. I've got some more to tell you on Latisha James because there are growing calls for her to be disbarred. And I think it's probably about time. We really examine those. So brand new calls for that. We're going to look at that. And then I want to dig in a little bit deeper on this media bias thing, especially in light of what the White House has created.
