And we're live on this very special day, a very special day when James Comey and Letitia James are trying to undo their situation in court. I'll tell you, these folks are getting kind of nervous. Make sure you subscribe, share, like. We're going to talk all about that. Plus, AOC's big power grab, for goodness sakes. She's trying to take over the entire Democrat Party. But you know what? That's actually good. That's actually good for those of us in the conservative community. So we'll get into that. But this is a big deal here. James Comey, Letitia James pleading their side of the things, which is not going so well for them, if you ask me and I'm going to explain.

We're looking at a snap overhaul. It's all happening, right? As Donald Trump reopens the government, he did this late last night. Quite a little ceremony. I like it. I like it. I like it. And as I said, we will get into the power grab by one AOC.

Welcome to the show, everyone. I am Trish Rigan. Good to have you here. Make sure you subscribe. Make sure you like. Make sure you comment. You know I read the comments. And when I respond, it's really.

really me. It really is. A hundred percent, a thousand percent. Leticia James, James Comey, in court today. You see, their legal teams are trying to somehow get this whole situation thrown out, but I got news for them. Like any which way you slice it, the federal government is going to be able to come back. I mean, you can try and run out the clock on this. You can say what you want about Lindsay Halligan and we'll get into that. And hey, maybe they have a teeny tiny little like toe to stand on. but it doesn't matter because ultimately the government can say, okay, you want to get rid of Lindsay. We're getting rid of Lindsay if that's what they decide. And they can say, we've now got six months to put somebody else in. So this is not a get out of jail free card. This is Letitia and James Comey

trying to play things out to the midterms. So here's what we got. Okay, they're in court today. Their legal teams are trying to get rid of one Lindsay Halligan. But, you know, Lindsay in the meantime is bringing all these receipts. Receeds like this. Look at this from James Comey. His notepad saying all the things, all the things that they were planning to do with Donald Trump and then take a look at this one. Oh, remember that house there in Virginia, the $109,000 three-bed and one bath property that was quote-unquote a second home in loan documents. That's coming back to to haunt Tishie Baby in a pretty big way. This is the original document, guys, the second home rider, if you will. The second home writer dated in August of 2020 that basically said she was only going to

use it for maybe some tiny short-term rentals. She wasn't actually going to rent the thing out entirely, but according to the electric bills, she was renting it to the niece, who was actually also some kind of alleged fugitive. I don't even think I need to say alleged in that case because they were looking for her, the parole officers down in the Carolinas, but somehow she'd had hightailed it to Annie Tish's house in Virginia. And then we have this mortgage on the original document, which she says, okay, well, this is bogus. There's nothing to see here. It did say in that, and she's just claiming this as a power of attorney mistake. Oh, nothing to see here. She claims because it was a mix-up with her power of attorney

who said it was her principal residence. I mean, this lady is not looking so good, especially when you consider the history, right? The history. I've shown you guys the mortgage with daddy, too, right? She went down as his wife and that one. I mean, our friends at News Nation running this headline right now, James Comey, Letitia James, argued district attorney's appointment was invalid. Charges should be dropped. Well, good luck on that. Here's one advocacy group that also came out, almost as though on Q.

Aversity group wants prosecutor Lindsay Halligan investigated, alleging abuse of power in charges against Comey and James. So this is a legal watchdog group they claim, and they say they've got these bars, you know, that were effectively state bar. of Florida and Virginia that are investigating one Lindsay Halligan because they say that she's actually breaking the rules, violating the Virginia State Bar's ethical rules for lawyers and the handling of the criminal charges against Comey and James on behalf of President Trump. They're saying that she never should have moved forward with the indictment because others had chosen not to

and that somehow this was a breach of her power and that she had an overreach here to which I would just say, you want to talk overreach? Okay, we will talk overreach. I can talk overreach all day long with you people. I'm looking at her right about now. This lady did all kinds of overreach

trying to bankrupt the former president of the United States so he wouldn't run again. Four days after a judge ordered Donald Trump to pay $355 million for a decade of fraud. New York Attorney General Leticia James says she's prepared to do everything she can to make sure the former president pays his fine, including she told us, seizing the buildings that bear his name. If he does not have funds to pay off the judgment,

then we will seek, you know, judgment enforcement mechanisms in court. And we will ask the judge to seize his assets. Oh, okay. Well, I got news for her. That's really not going to go anywhere. You know why it's not going to, you said, again, just to go back, if you're just joining us right now, Leticia James and James Comey are in court, and they're really getting nervous because all kinds of things have come out. Comey, they're going after him because they're alleging he lied to Congress that he was part of that whole plot in 2016 to take down the president with Russia, Russia, Russia. And with Leticia James, I mean, she's got a few different cases going on, right?

There's the one in the state of New York where the DOJ, the U.S. Attorney in New York, is looking into whether she violated the civil rights of Donald Trump by doing a exactly what I just showed you, you know, trying to take all his properties. I mean, it's like we're living in Venezuela or something, Hugo Chavez times too. And now we've got her in Virginia, where she may have committed fraud, like full-blown fraud, on those mortgage applications, thereby saving herself in some cases between $15,000 and $20,000. So you can't do that. You can't. But their argument in this particular case, and it's an argument that, you know, I'm a straight shooter. know that. And I'm not a legal scholar, but Andy McCarthy is, and I want to go to some sound from him

because he lays it out pretty well. And he also puts forward this, which I want to leave you with before we watch the soundbite. And that is that the federal government has six months to replace Lindsay Halligan in the event that the courts decide she can't actually occupy the position. Now, what's really wild is that the person that was occupying the position previously, he's actually good friends, apparently with the son-in-law, the son-in-law of one James Comey, and he turned down the opportunity to move forward on this case. Well, the fact that he turned it down, they're trying to use that as evidence that it shouldn't be a case, which, you know, is completely bogus because I think if we go back to what Bongino said, remember my friend Bongino saying, no one is

safe, they're not going to buy any of that. Here's the clip. Let me ask you about, are you going to be looking into, Cash and Pam, any potential collusion between the D.O.S. Latisha 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 here. 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 a couple of them. I don't care. I didn't come here for the money. I didn't come here to make, I know. You didn't go there for the money. I could tell people.

I didn't come here to make friends. 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,

get a dog. We're coming for you. That'll help. You want a friend of D.C. Right. Go get a Labrado. All right. I love Dan.

I love Dan. He really is a good guy. And he, by the way, he's in the middle of a tiff with Senator Massey. if you guys have been following that regarding some of the stuff in J6, and he just called him out completely on Twitter today. It was quite something to see. I mean, the assistant director of the FBI really, really mad because he had apparently been quite willing and did some talking to Massey, and all of that sort of fell on deaf ears, and he called him out for it. But anyway, Dan is making the point that, you know what, it doesn't matter who you know. So James Comey, even though your son-in-law

was working in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Virginia, even though Eric Siebert hung on to his position until the 11th hour until they had no choice, right? They had to actually, they were running the timeout on this clock. They had to come forward and actually filed this indictment or else it wasn't going to see the light of day. And that's why Lindsay Halligan came in there and did what she did. And now they're trying to say, well, you've got to get rid of Lindsay, that it's invalid because she doesn't have the right to do that. But even if they do that, and that's what McCarthy's going to explain for you right here, even if they do that. And it's quite possible that the judges say, okay, Lindsay's not valid, blah, blah, blah.

It doesn't matter because the federal government still has six months to put in a replacement. So the indictment would hold, let's go to McCarthy laying it all out. This really isn't any fault of Lindsay Halligan's. The statute that she was appointed as interim U.S. attorney under allows the president or through the attorney general to appoint an interim U.S. attorney for 120 days. And by the time Halligan got the job, her predecessor, Eric Siebert, had already served the 120 days. So they have a good argument that she's probably not qualified under that statute. So what's the pushback then? Take her side. Well, I think the pushback is what the attorney general and the Justice Department want to argue is that authority to prosecute in the United States comes not from the district U.S. attorney, but from the Justice Department.

and the Attorney General. So in order to try to firm this up, what Attorney General Bondi did was appoint Halligan as a special attorney and say that that was effective as of three days before Comey was indicted. The problem is she didn't do it until October 31st and she's trying to backdate it. And I don't know if that's going to work with the court. All right. So the move would be, okay, we'll get another attorney. Is that correct?

Is that one way to fix it? What could happen, this could be much. you do about nothing because they could, you know, they could disqualify her, but there's another statute that says the government would have been six months to bring a new indictment. Bingo. Okay, so that's the important part of that, that you guys just need to remember. So the issue here now, and we've talked about this before is time, right? And everybody's impatient. Everybody wants everything to happen yesterday. And they're moving as fast as they can. They want to make sure that they have solid cases that they are bringing forward. And these

kind of technicalities can get in the way. However, however, they do have, as you heard Annie McCarthy explained, they have six months, the federal government, to replace Lindsay if in fact the court decides that the clock has ticked the 11th hour, or I guess in this case, it would be midnight and that she's out. But the indictment, in theory, then, should still hold, or you push back the clock and you get that additional six months. That's what I would hope would happen. Certainly in the Comey situation. The other thing that the administration will likely argue is that Comey has actually effectively lengthened the statute of limitations against him because he was out there. I mean, quite recently, speaking out against Donald Trump over and over and over again, thereby

having this live another day. And so that will be another argument they make. In terms of Leticia James, I mean, you got plenty on this lady. I mean, for goodness sake, you don't have to stop at the mortgages in the, you don't have to stop at the mortgages in, in Virginia. You got, you got one in or two in New York as well. Well, certainly the brownstone, right? The brownstone that was somehow the family dwelling that actually she was renting out and she said was only four floors when it was really five. I mean, these are the kinds of things that they can go after. Don't forget, Comey has won himself no friends there because of all of the exhibits that have come forward. And even Democrats are looking at this going, oh gosh, you know, this doesn't look.

because he wrote on FBI stationary that he was going after John Kerry, or rather John Kerry was going after Donald Trump. He wrote about the debts to Moscow, which were not actually true. He talked about the journalists that maybe he should be talking to in light of all this. And he's got emails, right, with his friend. This has all come out, you guys, the Columbia Law School professor that was willing to stump for him. And by the way, it was on the FBI's payroll. I mean, give a new meaning, shall we say, right? To... Deep State. Then there is this text exchange. This is part of Exhibits 10 that Lindsay put forward where you've got this FBI special employee who went by another name. I mean, I'll tell you,

he's no match for Comey though. Do you see this one? Reinhold. Reinholde, Nyeber seven at gmail.com He's fake name. Who comes up with this stuff? Only Comey. Anyway, he's lied. And I want to share with you some of those lies. If you watch the Trish Rican show, you know this, but he is accused. I should be, you know, he's going to debate semantics here. But, well, I'll just play you this out and you tell me what you think. Okay? Here we go. Wow. There's this little thing called tape. Director Comey, have you ever been an anonymous source in news reports about matters relating to the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation? Never. Have you ever authorized someone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports about the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation.

No, I needed to get that out into the public square. And so I asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo with a reporter. Didn't do it myself for a variety of reasons by I asked him to because I thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel. And there we have it. There you have it indeed. Okay. So he was looking for that special counsel. He wanted that all along and was trying to stack the deck effectively to make sure that all of that happened. And listen, Comey, the teacher, they are not the only ones in trouble right now. You get basically all of the deep state, if you would, for the Obama intel operation that's under the microscope right now. I want to go to Jim Jordan and James Comey because James Comer, forgive me. Different James.

With the last name that he gives with the C. Anyway, Comer and Jordan were on with Handy last night. And they were like, look, you know, Comey is one problem, but he's just the tip of the iceberg. We have like all of these people that were investigating. I'll let them say it. Let's go straight to Jim Jordan right now. Your thoughts on 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 and 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 not only Comey, but Brennan, and frankly, we're looking into Jack Smith and his team

because two of his deputies who we've already deposed took the Fifth Amendment 71 and 73 times respectively to some basic questions. And so we're working on getting the documents from cash and from Pam Bondi at the Justice Department. So we're ready for the deposition when we bring Jack Smith in real soon. Yeah, that'll be interesting. Very, very interesting to watch. I mean, we're talking. That one should be primetime TV, right? Remember how the Dems did that with the J6 hearings?

I think we should be watching the new round of the J-Six hearings with Jack Smith in primetime television, ladies and gentlemen. You heard him say something kind of interesting. He referred to the fact that they didn't have any evidence, that Brennan didn't have any evidence, that Comey didn't have any evidence. Well, Brennan, don't forget, he didn't care about evidence, right? Back to 2017 when he said as much. 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. You idiot? How dare you? I mean, I don't do evidence. I just do intelligence, right? For whoever wants it, apparently. So this is going to be a big problem. I mean, he's looking at an indictment out of South Florida. And, you know, good luck, buddy. I mean, I think that it's basically come out. You guys made up the entire thing. So the next question is, if you made up the entire thing, and I realize these are just allegations, but it's pretty well sort of understood, right? We can go with some of the basics,

that the Russia, Russia, Russia thing was a bunch of disinformation put out by the Hillary Clinton campaign, bought and paid for by her. Perkins Coy was the law firm that paid Fusion GPS that went out and hired Christopher Steele, and he went and called his buddies a bunch of ex-Rubborn. A bunch of ex-Rubborn Russian K, forgive me, MI6 agents. And this is what they came up with, but it wasn't correct. And the FBI never, ever bothered to question it.

Like, wouldn't you, if you get a document like that? And I saw it. I was like, oh, this doesn't seem like it's real. It seems like it belongs at the grocery store counter. So I'm a journalist. I'm looking at it skeptically, as one should. And yet our own FBI agents, they wouldn't look at it skeptically?

No, of course. not, no, they just wanted to get in there and do whatever damage, apparently they could. And so then you have to ask yourself, what was that about? And you fast forward to even what was going on with Hunter Biden laptop and that they lied to us so blatantly, obviously for political reasons. So that has to be dealt with. I'm sorry, like this matters, no matter what side of the aisle you're on, that has to be dealt with. And believe me, I think it's going to be dealt with. I really do. provided, of course, you know, the right people, dare I say, stay in charge, that actually really does matter. I mean, if Democrats take control of Congress next year, they're not going to just block

Donald Trump's agenda, they're going to basically work every day to try and undo it, and they're going to try and pack the courts, they're going to try and raise taxes, they're going to try and get border security, and they're going to push through every far-left policy you can possibly imagine. I mean, Hakeemem-Jeffries, Chuck Schumer, if they're still there, because that's a big if, you know they won't rest. AOC certainly wouldn't rest until they've reversed all of Trump's victories, and there's a lot of victories. So to stop them, voters must believe Republicans are delivering a better deal for their wallets. And that's why Americans for a balanced budget were proud to have them as a sponsor on the show is calling for Congress to reverse a massive health care tax hike,

set to hammer millions of hardworking Americans with higher costs. Congress must extend critical health care tax credits that keep pre-executive. premiums affordable for working families while buying their own coverage. And something that actually the president wants and even spoke about today with open enrollment underway, many are already facing sticker shock, a monthly premiums. They're set to double for most. Boy, Obamacare won't over well, right? But, you know, the good news is there's still time to act.

Congress is going to move now because if Congress doesn't, you are effectively handing the Democrats a political gift and one that they're going to use to try and take back their power and block the Trump agenda and impose their woke progressive ideas. on all of America. So this is why it's really important. Go visit right now. Stop healthcare hikes.com. Stop healthcare hikes.com. And do your part to tell Congress, it's important to extend the health care tax credits before it's too late. Again, portions of the Trish Riegan show brought to by Americans for a balanced budget. Big, big stuff going on there. And speaking about a balanced budget, I mean, hey, hey, hey, they want to redo the whole SNAP program. I mean, this is

It's a big deal. I don't think, oh, what's going on with that? Do you like that graphic guys? They want to actually do some real work when it comes to this snap overhaul. So this is important. Snap, possibly seeing some of the biggest changes that we have seen in decades. I mean, maybe you've got to go back to Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich and the welfare reforms that we saw there. And I'll tell you, a lot of people want this big time. Hell yeah, listen to this guy. I'm just going to say it and I don't care who get mad. Shouldn't know grown, able-bodied people be freaking out by no food stamps. If you got two legs, two arms, you can get up and talk on the phone, you can get up and take your behind the work.

I'm talking to able-bodied. You heard him. You heard them. Okay? So able-bodied people. He's like, you got to do your part. I mean, very different than this woman apparently on social media, trying to explain how you can find another way to deal with your. You're dwindling SNAP benefits?

I'm not, I'm like, what? There's something wrong with the world. Hi, you guys, I'm out of the store. They wanted $7 for this. Mind you, I don't have food stamps anymore. They cut me off. So I only had $22 left in food stamps. So this is what I stole.

Okay, they wanted $9 for this. I said, oh, I don't got $9. Then they wanted, then they wanted $2 for this. They wanted, sorry, it's all $5. I'm gonna be in my purse. $7 for this. I'm making some stuff salmon today. These are needed.

I'm not paying $7 for that, okay? Let me show you the most important thing to me. Short ribs. Take off the label so that you don't beat. Get your fucking meat. How many do you think that I got? She's like, Mary Poppins with that bag. How many short ribs is that?

All for free because you stole it. I'm sorry. I mean, she really does look like Mary Poppins with the big bag and she's just pulling one thing out after another. So there's this sense of, well, you know, we deserve it. It's what's coming to us. As Whoopi Goldberg would tell you, you're entitled to those entitlements, right? I have no faith that they're going to negotiate and come back to the table. And, you know, I'm glad that folks may be, because, again, we have seen, you say this is going to happen

and then it doesn't happen. So surprise me and show me that this is really, that people are going to get their money, that people are going to get the money that they are entitled to. It's not a gift. They're entitled to this money during the shut, when there's a shutdown. You're entitled to that money. You're all entitled, right?

And I guess you're entitled to a multimillion dollar salary despite your lousy ratings there on the view. Oh, yeah, the FCC's looking into that one. Anyway, the president has promised a total overhaul of Snap. I want to go to Brooke Rollins, who's running some of the domestic agenda. as she spoke with Laura Ingram last night on Fox. Let's take a peek.

And 20 plus others did not. And we're suing. We're in a litigation right now. But of the 29 that complied, what we have found is staggering. Half a million people getting benefits two times under the same name. 5,000 dead people. 80% of the able-bodied Americans, meaning they can work. They don't have small children at home.

They're not taking care of an elderly parent. They can work. choose not to work, of course, because they're getting significant benefits from the taxpayer. So this light, Laura, that has now been shined on what is perhaps one of the most corrupt dysfunctional programs in American history that we are working now. Very big announcements coming next week on this. We are cracking down. We now have a plan to fix it. And we're really, really excited about doing that for the American people. So this has been going on for many years. I mean, I think I cover this on the radio.

It's just right, right? I mean, again, I think the last time we saw any kind of overhaul of this was back during the Clinton-Gingrich error. So we're going back a ways. The other thing that I would point out is that Americans are sensible people. I mean, hey, we're no dummies, right? If you're going to actually pay us more, I remember doing this and covering it in the 2016 presidential debate. And I had the undercard at Fox Business because there were so many. candidates, right? So I had a bunch of people on stage and one of the questions that I put to them

in that debate was, hey, you know, you've got to think about sort of the reality of the situation. If you're a single mom living in the state of Hawaii, I don't have the exact numbers off the top of my head. I did at that particular moment, but it was somewhere in 2016 around $60,000 that you were going to get in all your benefits, federal and state combined. So if you're a logical person, why the heck are you going to work, right? Wouldn't you want to stay home and get your $60,000, you're not actually going to want to, you know, I mean, take a job that may only pay you 40. People are logical and they make logical decisions. And so while you want to have a safety net, and don't get me wrong, like, don't get me wrong. I'm a pretty darn nice person and have a ton of empathy.

And I cannot stand that when they try and say that conservatives are somehow cold-hearted. You know, we're not, we're not. We believe in community and family and church and all the mechanisms around you to try and help people in difficult times. And yes, government's part of that too, but you can't have people abusing the system. It just has to stop. And one amazing opportunity to actually rehaul all of this, and that is what the Trump administration is looking at doing right now in the here and now, ladies and gentlemen. By the way, speaking about SNAP and diet and food and everything, quick shout out to one of our great show sponsors. You know Balance of Nature. Good, Balance of Nature.com. Use my code.

And then they have free shipping and they also have money back guarantees.

So you really can't go wrong. Check it out. Balance of Nature.com. Again, for people that are new to this product, I want you to use my code word Trish, T-R-I-S-H, you know how to spell it. AOC. She's prepping for a big coup. I mean, this is like her total moment.

She's been looking forward to this day for a while. And I'll say this. You know what? Fine. It's good news. The government is open. Again, that's what you should want. Just don't tell AOC.

This was wonderful news we got last night. Go up. And if you remember President Barack Hussein Obama, when he came up with this crazy idea, he said, everything's going to be great. Rates are going to go down. Payments are going to go down. Everything's going to go down. It went the exact opposite with the biggest increase of any of health care.

in any country. It's a disaster. And I'm calling today for insurance companies not to be paid, but for the money, this massive amount of money, to be paid directly to the people of our country so that they can buy their own health care, which will be far better and far less expensive than the disaster known as Obamacare. And I've had, I think, great support. I've even had Democrat support. So we want the money that would be going to the insurance company, which is hundreds of billions of dollars, you know, their stock prices have gone up by 1,000% in many cases, a thousand percent over a short period.

I was just saying, you know, it's kind of amazing that they were willing to shut down the government over this $1.5 trillion that really is being pocketed, not by the people, but by the insurance companies, while simultaneously, you know, helping, and this is the problem of what Biden did. You bring in millions of people, for goodness sakes. Now you've got to cover them on the insurance front

when they go to the emergency rooms, and now you get the hospitals saying, okay, we need this $1.5 trillion. It's not okay. It doesn't make sense. But look, I mean, AOC Max, good to see, good to see. Hello. I know, it's hard to hear it. But he said, thank you very much.

He actually didn't take any questions last night, but it was good to see that moment. Not so good for AOC. She's actually really angry. She didn't want them to reopen the government. And she made that clear, I am going to warn you first. You know her voice is very, very hard to take. It's like nails on the chalkboard. Well, when they interview her in a hallway and the audio is kind of funky, it gets even worse.

But listen to the context of what one AOC, Alexander Ocasio-Cortez, is trying to say, here we go. I think it's important that we understand that this is not just about Senator Schumer, but that this is about the Democratic Party. Senator Schumer, there's no one vote that ended this shutdown. We are talking about a coordinated effort of eight senators with the knowledge of Leader Schumer, voting to break with the entire Democratic Party in exchange for nothing.

And now people's health care costs. Oh, my gosh. I mean, she looked like she was ready to cry there at the end, but this is a coup. She wants to take over the party. She's got the likes of, you know, oh, I don't know. Mamdani there in New York who just announced that the fire alarm guy, you know, the guy who's like a kid in grade school trying to pull the fire alarm because they're trying to get out of a test. He was trying to get out of the budget vote. So he actually went and pulled the fire alarm there on Capitol Hill. I'm still waiting for him to face the consequences of that. I mean, in part he did, right? Because they voted him out. Now he's going to join Mamdami's transition team. So she's got her little commies all lined up in a row ready to go. You know, one of them is not falling.

in line, the gentleman, senator from Pennsylvania, who we learned just moments ago, he's okay, he's okay, but he had a heart situation earlier today and he fell and he fell actually straight on his face and he made a joke about it, telling people, well, if you thought I looked bad before, wait till you see me now. But here he is just last night talking about how, you know, you can't just label an entire group of people as mean or bad because they want to actually get some reforms through. So this is the challenge the AOC is going to find. And I'm beginning to think that someone like Senator Federman is just going to have to switch sides. Here we go. You said, quote, I've drunk deeply of the venom of both the left and the right as a connoisseur.

I can confirm that the most poisonous, the bitterest is from the far left. That is pretty remarkable to hear you say that as an elected Democrat. Why? Yeah. Yeah, no, you know, it's just been my personal experience on this thing. And when I asked my digital team, I said, you know, we're on all the platforms, you know, really what's kind of the harshest, what's kind of the most personal? And the answer was immediate. He said, oh, blue sky, it's blue sky. And the difference is, I mean, the right would say really rough things and names. you know, some names I won't repeat on TV. But on the left, it was like they want me to die or that we're cheering for your next stroke

or that's terrible that Depression 1. Why couldn't it Depression 1? And I hope your kids find you. I mean, they even have like the graphic, a gift there. They have like a stroke, you know, in your head, you know, cheering at that. Yeah. And they said that, I remember one, they claimed, oh, the doctor let us down and why did they have to save his life? I mean, just really, like, I just can't imagine.

People are wishing, you know, I wish he dies or I want him to die, you know, literally cheering for a stroke. And I don't know what the kind of a place where that comes from. I mean, that's much different than just calling me a name, you know, and that's really been consistent, you know, and that can. community online. Yeah, I mean, that's pretty unbelievable. And now you think about him and his challenge that he faced just today. I mean, just after saying this as recently as last night, so John Fenerman has been hospitalized. We were told he is in stable condition. He's good. He, you know, made a joke about what to see me now. But it's a heart condition. And apparently he fainted as a result of this. And, you know, it's just, it comes at a tough time when I think the party is really

seeking this new direction. You've got AOC trying to hold people hostage and take it one way. Well, Fetterman is just actually trying to talk some common sense. I mean, as he tried to do on the view the other day, good luck on, you know, dealing with the likes of Sonny Housden and Whoopi Goldberg. I mean, I pity him. I feel for him. No wonder. No wonder he's having a heart condition for goodness I can say that only because we do know at this point he is safe and sound. He's in the hospital. He's doing okay. And he's getting the treatment he needs.

But this was, you know, what, 48 hours ago? It was a horrific mistake. Governor Gavin Newsom called it pathetic and a surrender. Poll after poll found more Americans on both sides of the aisle blaming Republicans. Even Marjorie Taylor Green blamed the GOP. As you mentioned, Democrats had big wins last week. So you had momentum. Why give in now?

Why bring a butter knife to a gunfight? Are you willing to gamble that the GLP will negotiate on health care in good faith once the government reopens? Because if that gamble is wrong, half a million Pennsylvanians that you represent, their health care costs will skyrocket if you are wrong. And I believe you are wrong. Well, first of all, you know, MTG is quite literally the last. person in America that I'm going to take advice or to get their kinds of my leadership and values from. And now if Democrats are celebrating crazy pants like that, then that's on them.

And I don't need a lecture. I don't need a lecture from whether it's Bernie or the governor in California because they are representing very deep blue, blue kinds of populations. And a lot of those things, a lot of those things were part of the extreme. And now remember, what really needs to win, to win. The big win is involving my state and other states and those things. And why have we arrived here after the election a year ago? We want to forget, we've got to forget some of the things that cost us that election or now for me. It's like, that's why I'm trying to remind people that kinds of the extremism, we can't return to those kind of of things and realize we need to find a way forward. And I would like to, rather than cite

MTG, I'm going to cite one of the new governor elects saying that my election is not a green light to continue the shutdown. Because I promise you, this isn't a political game. It is viewed by that by many of us. But the reality is 42 million Americans now not sure where their next meal is going to come from. And because we vote like that, vote like that. Or people that haven't been paid for five weeks now and that kinds of chaos. Those workers borrow more than half a billion dollars, you know, from their credit union just to pay their bills now. So for me, we're in the middle of this. Senator, I got to ask you to hold up. Right. Yeah, the opportune time for a commercial. I would just say this, you know what? And here's the headline. The Democrat Party needs him right now.

They really, really need him. He, he again was hospitalized after a fall near his home, which is said to have caused minor injuries to his face, but this was after a, you know, a guy who had a stroke before, and don't forget, he, he, he suffered from that pretty significantly. In this particular case, he felt lightheaded, we're told, which was due to a ventricular fibrillation flare-up, according to a statement issued by his team, ventricular filibration is a type of irregular heartbeat. And so it would make sense that you would run the risk of fainting with something like that. He's remaining in the hospital at this point for observation so that doctors can, quote, fine-tune his medicine.

And his team said out of an abundance of caution, he was transported to a hospital in Pittsburgh. and it was revealed there that he had had a ventricular filibration flare up that led to him feeling lightheaded, falling to the ground, hurting his face. And again, he's clearly come to, because he had this to say, if you thought my face looked back before, wait until you see it now. So good sense of humor there from the center. But I'm going to tell you guys, the party needs him. They desperately, desperately, desperately need him right about now because it's being held hostage by the likes of Jasmine Crack. We talked about her yesterday and by AOC. So that is not, not a good scenario. I do want to just mention the market here because, you know, I have

my publication 76 research, which we just put out a note. We just put out a note at 76 research. I would actually encourage you. Let me see if I can actually get that on the screen. I hope I can. Maybe I can. Maybe not. Okay, here we go. 76research.com. Go there, check it out today because we had quite a wild ride there in the markets and you've got stocks just trading way down today. Tech getting killed there amid concerns that the Fed is going to hold interest rate steady in the month of December. Now, the fear is that some people, Lisa Cook may be looking at you, I don't know, a few others on the Federal Reserve are unwilling to move on interest rates because Donald Trump is president.

And this is a situation where you actually kind of need to give a little bit more. You know, how many inflation in the economy? You got oil prices coming down. You've got, gosh, these home foreclosures. I believe that the latest statistic showed that they were way up. They were way up today. And I want to say a 20-year high, but let me double check that. So this is not good.

Okay, yes. No, forgive me, not a 20-year high, but rather you're seeing new foreclosures there jump 20% the story coming to us on CNBC there earlier today. So 20% jump in home foreclosures, which would be a sign of distress, right, in the housing market. And this is what Donald Trump has been talking about for some time, that there is distress there. They are seeing it in the used car market as well, that people cannot afford these rates on these cars. And so what do you need to do in that case? You would make the case that you need to lower rates. And so that got the market a little bit nervous. And I'd also say this, you know,

know, there's this window dressing that they do among money managers, you know, before year end. And if my colleague Rob Horton and I were really into that, I guess what we would do is we would actually move forward and say, hey, you know what? We will just, we will just sell all our stocks and we will look like we are heroes, right, at the end of the year. But we're not doing that because we are big believers in sort of long-term investing. And so we have great research for you there. I would take a look at it, especially when you see. see these dips or as we like to think about them. And everybody, by the way, I'm going to, you know, caution you. Everybody has a different circumstance and time horizon, if you would.

But Rob and I still remain pretty committed to tech and to a lot of cryptos. I know that annoys Don Bakka, but it is something that we're a big sort of believer in, if you would. And we have no reason to tell you this other than we want you to do well. We want to do well, right? We want those portfolios to do well. So go check that out.
