Starting point is 00:00:01 They really are dropping like flies. It's like one after another, after another, after another. I mean, there's a total implosion going on at NBC News. I expect ABC is next to be followed by CBS. A total remake of the media. It's all happening in real time and you are right here with me for it. It's kind of good, right? I mean, we get Joy Reid out there sobbing, literally sobbing today,
Starting point is 00:00:25 saying my show had value my show. People may not feel so confident that they're, say to you. Yeah, that lady, that lady, that lady, wait till you see it. My show had value and that what I was doing had value. Or maybe it didn't, maybe it didn't have any value at all. Other than to you and your divisive cronies. Well, NBC's had it, the world has had it, Comcast has had it, not just with you, Joy, but with a whole lot of other people, including, by the way, this is kind of a big deal, the guy who ran the whole big signature show there, Lester Holt.
Starting point is 00:01:10 It was reported today that he's leaving. He's leaving on the heels of some guy named Ayman Mohaladin. And you got me. I didn't watch much of him. I think he was like a super pro-Ghaza guy. Anyway, he's out. There's another one named Katie Fang, not too familiar with her either.
Starting point is 00:01:30 She's out. I mean, the whole place. is imploded in real time. You could all be fired a year from now. We'll hear what this happens. You never know what's going to happen. No, you never know what's going to happen. I mean, I thought they were done yesterday with Joy Reid. And it turns out, no, they're not done.
Starting point is 00:01:49 They're going to keep on going and going and going. And the question now becomes, like, who is next? Why is this happening? Okay, first of all, Lester's out. And we're going to get to some other big news because my buddy, Dan Bongino, is now going to be deputy director at the FBI. And let me tell you, this is like dream team. Okay, you get Cush, you got Dan, and there's a lot of major things that are going to happen.
Starting point is 00:02:08 So I want to get to that. Clinton, watch out. Hunter Biden, watch out. Ooh, this is going to be something else. Leticia James, watch out. But first of all, just the media nonsense. I mean, Lester Holtz is gone. You've got Katie Fang, whoever she was, the other guy whose name I can't pronounce gone.
Starting point is 00:02:27 And then you've got Joy Reed gone as well. Now, I'm going to tell you, Lester, he of me, have come to the conclusion that, you know, he just didn't want to have to soften the tone of his newscast. But he was kind of just a prompter reader. Let's face it, the NBC Nightly News. It's a very different product then, say, the opinionated shows that you get on cable. The problem with the opinionated shows on cable is they've gotten, well, a little too opinionated, in a very dangerous, super aggressive way.
Starting point is 00:02:56 You know, yesterday I said something, and one of you guys had a comment that I thought was super interesting spirit filled, by the way, thank you for your generosity. I'm going to get to that in a a second. But one of you guys had a comment because I talked about how irresponsible her reporting was, reporting, if you want to call it, just say commentary, Joy Reid's commentary was. And you guys said, no, it wasn't irresponsible. It was actually malicious. And I think that's actually the right way to talk about it. It was malicious reporting, designed to increase hate. I mean, you have only to go back to what she was saying about how she's done with white women. I mean, come on, lady. Give some free aggressors. Just black with us of women who may be thinking about
Starting point is 00:03:44 marching against the Trump victory, maybe putting back on the P-word hats and doing that thing. I would just say probably don't send any of those invites to any black women, you know? I'm just going to tell you right now they're not coming. I'm pretty sure black women have resigned from we Save America Coalition, Save Democracy Coalition, and definitely to save the Democratic Party coalition. I think that's probably not happening. I would just keep those invites maybe among your own friends, because I don't think they're coming. But yeah, I think black women are now on the Save Black Women.
Starting point is 00:04:23 You know, it's stuff like this that I think really did her in. That combined with, oh, telling everybody not to go to Thanksgiving, if you had any family members that voted for Trump. I mean, come on, Comcast is a publicly traded company, and they're trying to spin off MSNBC and get some little inkling of value out of the thing. And you get crazy people like, people may not feel so confident that they're safe with you. This is not crazy. This is legitimate feelings of fear of you and a feeling that you might not be someone they could trust. Okay. Yeah, this came back to Hunter. But this was really, this one was quite something. She was actually trying to threaten other black people. If you don't vote
Starting point is 00:05:07 for Kamala Harris, if you don't vote for Kamala Harris, then, you know, Joy Reid's disowning you, basically. Given the just stratospheric entrance of Vice President Kamala Harris into the presidential campaign and she has now secured enough delegates to become the nominee, you're going to look real crazy being on the other side of that line, particularly as a person of color. But really, as anyone who claims to have any connection to the culture, you're going to look real weird and real lonely on that side. Oh, I wonder who's so weird and lonely now, shall we say.
Starting point is 00:05:57 So this is good, you guys. Joy Reed, absolutely sobbing. Joy Reed, crying her little eyes out because Joy Reed is so upset that she has lost her little platform that, by the way, nobody watched. They had like 53,000 viewers a night in the demo tuning in. I think we get more than that over here. Reminder, subscribe, share, like, all that good stuff. But I got to play for you, Joy Reed having this total meltdown. She's crying her eyes out. Crying her eyes out because she's like, I just, I can't believe this has happened, right? I just can't believe that I am out of a job and then my thing had value. It was so important what I was doing.
Starting point is 00:06:40 In your head, girl, in your head. My show had value and that what I was doing had value. And in the end, I'm sorry, I try not to cry on TV. And I take this kind of like me on TV. So I apologize. And that and that it kind of, and then it mattered. I see Karen is there and she's been texting me as well. And so what I will just say is that in the end, thank you,
Starting point is 00:07:14 where I land is that the moment that I've, of guilt that I felt that I went hard on so many issues, whether it was the Black Lives Matter, issues of a young baby or a mom or dad that was killed or when we opened up people's eyes to the fact that Asian Americans were being targeted and not just black folks that or went hard for immigrants who've done nothing but come to this country like my parents okay and so she goes on to talk all about her woke agenda and how she's fighting for the woke agenda and that's fighting the good fight now let me just say that this woman was actually really vindict and yes, to use the words of one of our viewers yesterday, malicious, in how she covered
Starting point is 00:08:02 now President Trump during the election. This was a clip just moments before people were going to the voting booths. And we begin our final sprint, having arrived at that point in the election season, where basically we on this side of the TV screen have said all we can. We've laid out the stakes in this crucial election, where one side stands for freedom while the other meets the text. book definition of fascism, namely a far-right dictatorial regime like Hitler's Germany or Franco's Spain or Mussolini's Italy, but also white ruled South Africa before Mandela and the black
Starting point is 00:08:39 majority took control, or Vladimir Putin's Russia, Victor Orban's Hungary or Nicolas Maruro in Venezuela today that suppresses the rights of women and minorities, uses the military to execute the whims of a strong man dictator and controls and suppresses the press, education, the arts, rewrites history to suit a favored and dominant racial class and fomence extravagant corruption in order to enrich the dictator and his friends. We've warned you about Donald Trump's profound unfitness for office, from his theft of classified documents and attempted insurrection to his clear cognitive and physical decline. To work, what he plans to do if he returns to power.
Starting point is 00:09:27 Well, you know what? He did return to power. And you completely lost all your power. How's that for sweet justice? Oh my gosh, this woman. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. I mean, and by the way, oh, I got more for you.
Starting point is 00:09:42 I got more for you because the night of the election, you should have seen Rachel Maddow. You should have seen Joy Reid. You should have seen all of them. We're going to play it, okay? We have to play it because MSNBC, they're not done. They got to go after more people because you get a clean house and actually fix this thing for real. I want to say, hello, Mr. Morrison. Welcome.
Starting point is 00:10:00 He's a new team member here on the Trish Riegan Show. We appreciate you joining that little team. We occasionally, you know, we do little things that are just for team members. So you get access to all that good stuff. Speaking of access to good stuff, 76research.com. That's my financial research company. I started with a dear friend who's absolutely brilliant. He's been picking stocks for 20 years and doing an amazing job at it,
Starting point is 00:10:22 running billions of dollars. And now we have them at 76 research, co-founder of the company with me. Look at these numbers. I mean, it's really, I believe, I believe in what's happening in terms of the growth that's coming for America. I believe in the economic policy of this administration. So I'm super excited about it. I want you to have a chance to be part of this excitement.
Starting point is 00:10:42 Go look at the model portfolios. We have American resilience, which is all about growth. We have inflation protection, which is, you know, protecting where you have. We have the income builder, which is for anybody who wants to retire, day you've got to be able to live off of something, right? And so one of the things that we have, actually, in the income builder portfolio inflation protection as well is gold. And gold has just been on a tear. As you know, I had the CEO of American Heart for Gold, one of our show sponsors actually on the program the other day, Max Baker, and we were talking about the reasons for it.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Part of it's because emerging market countries all around the world are saying, hey, I'm not so sure I'm feeling so good about U.S. Treasury bonds. And so they're buying gold instead. So it's their diversification. I mean, we don't necessarily love it. as the U.S., but it's a diversification move for them away from the U.S. I like it because, well, you know, when the, you know what hits the fan, God forbid it ever would, gold is something that keeps its value. I also like it because it's a great hedge on inflation. And even with everything that the president is doing to try and bring down inflation,
Starting point is 00:11:41 I still worry about it. So, with that in mind, give them a ring, or actually just go to trish lovesgold.com today. Trishlovesgold.com. You can get up to $15,000 in free silver. Like my silver dress, right? 15,000. Maybe Elon will give me a trip to Mars with this outfit, shall we say. It's kind of futuristic, right?

But I'm telling you, you go back. okay in history. And remember, remember what we're dealing with right now. They're all out. Like the NBC Nightly News anchor, he's out. I'm not sure really what was going on there. I have a feeling Joy
Starting point is 00:12:32 Reed was just insufferable and very difficult to deal with. And they're hoping that Simone Sanders, who's going to replace her and some others, are going to be a little bit easier. I don't know. But here she is again, sobbing, sobbing, sobbing, sobbing, because the day has come. My show had value and that what I was doing had value and in the end I'm sorry and that and then it kind of and then it mattered. I see Karen is there and she's been taking me as well you. You know what? The show didn't matter. This show had no value. Nobody was watching. Nobody was watching. and the only people that cared were actually people that wanted to double down on hate, and that's exactly what you did.
Starting point is 00:13:25 I mean, that's exactly what you did. I have only to go back and look at, remember her white tears? Remember this one, guys? This is important. This is a very good contrast. Somebody put this up online of Joy of you talking about white tears versus her tears that she has today. Let's see. Doesn't working?
Starting point is 00:13:44 It's not working. Okay, we're going to try this again because I think this is a good one for you. you guys to see. Yeah. Let me see. I'm going to tell the producer right now, I need the clip because this is, this is killer. This is absolutely killer. Absolutely killer. I mean, she's white tears, white tears. Come on, right? Give me a break. This is somebody who actually just built her entire career on this idea of hate. And it's amazing. to me that you can actually have a career that's built entirely just on hate and division like that. I mean, what are we doing as a society rewarding that? Was that all part of Biden's DEI plan?
Starting point is 00:14:33 If so, that's really, really wrong. But don't forget, just before the election, right? Or on election night, I should say, they were kind of just, they didn't believe this could happen. This was like total meltdown moment for them, because the night of the election, as these numbers came in, From Rachel Maddow to the rest of them, Joy Reid, they had to come to grips with the reality, and they'd been living in this crazy la-la land for way too long. Trump has now taken the lead in Buckstown. NBC News now projects that in the battleground state of Georgia in the presidential race, Donald Trump has prevailed.
Starting point is 00:15:07 The Republican Party will control the United States Senate. This is live from Howard University in Washington, D.C. We still have votes to count. We still have states that have not been called yet. We will continue overnight to fight to make sure that every vote is counted. Thank you all. A short and to the point statement from Cedricman, the Harris Campaign co-chair, you now see them turn as one to start to leave the grounds.
Starting point is 00:15:46 The evening was getting increasingly somber as people realized what this map is looking like. They turned off the TV set and just piped up the music because the room was starting to get increasingly somber. You know, we always knew it was going to be down to the blue wall, and the blue wall is still uncalled at this point. But it sounds like the Harris campaign is sort of keeping things tight in terms of whether or not they're going to string people along into thinking this is going to happen. What they went to that venue tonight hoping to see and witness was a historic election of Kamala Harris to the presidency. was the end of the Trump era as they knew it. And so we don't know the outcome yet, but that is not what they are receiving. And they are being told to go home and wait until tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:16:35 And nothing that was true yesterday about how flawlessly this campaign was run is not true now. I mean, this really was an historic, flawlessly run campaign. She had Queen Latifah never endorses anyone. She came out of the door. You know, I mean, she had every prominent celebrity voice. She had the Swifties. She had the Beehive. Like, you could not have run a better campaign in Western Europe.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Sorry. I'm still getting over cold. So I have to be careful about laughing too hard. But I'm sorry, that was really funny. She's saying, oh, what a brilliant campaign. Well, you know, if it was such a well-run campaign, let me just tell you, you would have won. But it was a terrible campaign, and I'm sorry, Queen Latifah.
Starting point is 00:17:25 Her endorsement means zilch to the rest of America, because Queen Latifah doesn't live in real America. Queen Latifah isn't worried about the price of eggs. In fact, the more that campaign doubled down on their woke Hollywood celebrities from Queen Latifah to Beyonce, to Oprah, who, by the way, was paid, according to the New York Times, $2 million to sit down and do that interview, that nobody watched on YouTube with Kamala Harris. I mean, that's, that's wild. But you know,
Starting point is 00:17:55 why were they so invested? You've got to ask them, by the way, Dan Bongino, gosh Patel, they're going to get to the bottom of this. Elon is already looking at all of this. He's figured out that USAID was actually selling a pro-Biden, pro-woke, insane agenda. I mean, the trans stuff alone, and it's really bonkers. But anyway, they were spending hordes of money to the tune of $50 million to the New York Times, $8.2 million going to Politico. And before somebody says, oh, that's fake news. No, it's not fake news. You know why? Politicalco came up with a $10,000 a year subscription that they would give to government employees. Nobody needs a $10,000 a year. Political subscription. I mean, maybe a Bloomberg terminal subscription. Definitely not a Politico one. That was what you call
Starting point is 00:18:42 a pass-through, okay? So they can wink, wink, wink. Not, not. Nobody uses the thing, but, oh, they can collect 8.2 million bucks off of the whole shebang. Listen, David Sachs is all over this. He's our new Cryptozar. I've played this soundbite for you guys before, but I want you to hear it again because it's really, it's really well said. It's nuts. I mean, even the BBC, 8% of their income was coming from good old USAID. Okay, so we knew the U.S. government runs a $2 trillion deficit every year. We're in debt almost $40,000. million dollars. And we also knew that anytime anyone tries to cut anything in Washington, the whole city screams bloody murder. Okay. So the question is just why. Well, now we know. The money is all going to them. It's like round-tripping to them. New York Times,
Starting point is 00:19:29 getting paid. Politico, getting paid. Bill Crystal, perennial war monger, getting paid. Ukraine, getting paid. Ukraine, getting paid. Incredible. Victor Orban, who's the Prime Minister of Hungary, was saying that he's, he's, very popular in Hungary, his political opposition funded by USAID. In Poland, the left-wing political opposition funded by USAID and on and on it goes. BBC, you wonder why everyone in the UK, so, yeah, yeah. I couldn't believe the BBC is getting paid. Every left-wing organization in the world seems to be getting paid by this slush fund at USAID, which disperses about $50 billion a year. That's a
Starting point is 00:20:12 billion dollars a week. It's actually a lot of money. And so it just, it makes you wonder, you know, the left in general tries to portray itself as a movement of the people, that it's grassroots. This is the exact opposite. This is astroturf. This is basically money coming from the top down out of Washington to fund all these groups, maybe not even in the United States, like all over the world. So it makes you wonder, what is the real level of local support for these left-wing policies all over the world? filch, okay? Like, people don't believe that 12 and 13 year old kids should be getting operations that are life-changing because there's a transgender population that thinks, you know, you need
Starting point is 00:20:54 to get these operations at that age. We don't even allow them to smoke or drink or vape, but somehow you can go under the knife for that. I'm sorry, no. It's messed up. But they embraced this wokeism. They tried to spread it throughout the world. They paid U.S. entities Reuters, for example, was getting a ton of money. AP, $52 million. That's crazy. And so you wonder, I mean, I kept saying, I'm like, why am I the only one who's like, what is the media doing?
Starting point is 00:21:23 Why are they doing this over and over and over again? Why do I have to hear that Donald Trump is the next thing since Hitler when, by the way, I mean, like, incredibly insulting to the five, six million Jews that were slaughtered in World War II, incredibly insulting to all of our soldiers. that fought and many of whom died, saving, saving this nation from Hitler and the world from Hitler. How insulting to our allies. And they just throw this language around like it's nothing? I mean, that's what this lady was doing who hosts their morning show. Is she next? Is Mika Brzynski going to get fired along with her hubby, Joe Scarborough?
Starting point is 00:22:05 You need to believe him. And these are the final hours. We need you. We need you, you, you, you, you, you and all of you to vote. Yep. Yeah, there you will. So, Mika, I think you heard us before you came out. We were talking earlier about yesterday's Trump rally from hell at Madison Square Garden. So what did you make of it? Well, I think it was everything that you need to know about Donald Trump in one weird white
Starting point is 00:22:36 nationalist Nazi type rally. And of course, there's historic parallels to where. and when this happened. Wow. Again, highly irresponsible. So you had her hubby doing that. I played you a lot of those soundbites before. You had Joy Reid doing that.
Starting point is 00:22:58 You had Rachel Maddow doing that. You had Lawrence O'Donnell doing that. So they're firing all these people. They're getting rid of Lester Hall. I actually never heard Lester do that. Lester was like much more of a clean shop. I think that one is sort of like Lester's kind of had it. And he wants out because, you know,
Starting point is 00:23:13 doesn't want anybody messing with his scripts. I don't know. I don't know what was going on with the Lester thing, but they got rid of these other people that are, you know, really, really left and really, really liberal. And there seems to be this cleansing. But unless you actually cleanse,
Starting point is 00:23:28 I think all of them, you're going to continue to have problems. Donald Trump weighing in on this today, and this was kind of funny. He's taking aim at the guy who runs the whole place, and that would be one other, none other than Brian Roberts, who runs Comcast.
Starting point is 00:23:43 Comcast is the parent company of NBC Universal, of course, which owns NBC and MSNBC. So, he said Brian Roberts, low-life, low-life chairman of Concast, not Comcast, Brian Roberts, the owner of ratings challenged NBC and MSDNC, you get it, you get it, has finally gotten the nerve up to fire one of the most or the least talented people in all of television, the mentally obnoxious, racist Joy Reed, based on her, ratings which were virtually non-existent, she should have been canned long ago, along with everyone else who works there. Also thrown out Alex Wagner, I forgot to mention her, Alex Wagner, the sub on the seriously failing Rachel Maddow show. Rachel rarely shows up because
Starting point is 00:24:31 she knows there's nobody watching. And she also knows that she's got less television persona than virtually anyone on television except perhaps Joy Reed. Then there's a lot of There's, of course, the low- IQ con man, Al Sharpton. Oh, he's another one, right, that got the 500 grand right before he sat down with Kamel Harris for that MSNBC interview? I mean, what are these people doing? They're running quite a shop, for goodness sakes. The low- IQ con man, Al Sharpton, who has perhaps the lowest TV ratings in the history of television. What is he doing to Brian Roberts to stay on the air? This whole corrupt operation is nothing more than an illegal arm of the Democrat Party, they should be forced to pay vast sums of money for the damage they
Starting point is 00:25:18 have done to our country. Fake news is an unpardonable sin. So he's getting no use for this network. Of course, he also was calling them a threat to democracy in the wake of the NBC Universal lawsuit settlement. Just unbelievable. But you know, I played for you that little clip of Mika, And you know that Mika couldn't stand Donald Trump, nor could her husband stand Donald Trump. And yet, I think these two know which way the wind blows. I mean, while joy's doubling down and telling everybody not to go to Thanksgiving dinner,
Starting point is 00:25:56 look what they ran off and did. For the past week, Joe and I have heard from so many people, from political leaders to regular citizens, deeply dismayed by several of President-elect Trump's cabinet selections, and they are scared. Last Thursday, we expressed our own concerns on this broadcast and even said we would appreciate the opportunity to speak with the president-elect himself.
Starting point is 00:26:20 On Friday, we were given the opportunity to do just that. Joe and I went to Mar-a-Lago to meet personally with President-elect Trump. It was the first time we have seen him in seven years. Now, we talked about a lot of issues, including abortion, mass deportation, threats of political retribution against political opponents, and media outlets. We talked about that a good bit. And it's going to come as no surprise to anybody who watches this show, has watched it over the past year or over the past decade, that we didn't see eye to eye on a lot of issues,
Starting point is 00:26:59 and we told him so. What we did agree on was to restart communications. My father often spoke with world leaders with whom he in the United States profoundly disagreed. That's a task shared by reporters and commentators alike. We had not spoken to President Trump since March of 2020, other than a personal call Joe made to Trump on the morning after the attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania. In this meeting, President Trump was tearful. He was upbeat. He seemed interested. in finding common ground with Democrats on some of the most divisive issues.
Starting point is 00:27:40 And for those asking why we would go speak to the president-elect during such fraught times, especially between us, I guess I would ask back, why wouldn't we? Five years of political warfare has deeply divided Washington and the country. We have been as clear as we know how in expressing our deep concerns about President Trump's actions and words. in the coarsening of public debate. But for nearly 80 million Americans, election denialism, public trials, January 6th were not as important as the issues
Starting point is 00:28:17 that moved them to send Donald Trump back to the White House with their vote. Joe and I realize it's time to do something different. And that starts with not only talking about Donald Trump, but also talking with him. Boom! saving their jobs. That's all that was about, guys. So, like, I don't know, they were getting USAID money or what was going on before because they sounded like crazy people about the World
Starting point is 00:28:44 War II stuff and he's Mussolini and he's Hitler and he's this and he's that. And I played this one clip. I won't do it again because, you know, we don't need to see any more of these rather self-important individuals. But Joe Scarborough was like wild. Okay? He's absolutely wild. And then he's the same guy who was trying to tell you, best Biden I've ever seen, give me a break. So they were singing some song and dance, not to be trusted. Clearly, these are people that could not be trusted, because what did they do? As soon as Trump wins, they're trying to save their tails, so they hightail it down to Mara Lago. And, you know, Trump's a nice guy and he's willing to talk to them, whatever. But like, come on. First of all, they've alienated their audience,
Starting point is 00:29:25 because their audience is like, wait a second, where are you? What are you doing? Why would you do something like that? Just look at the ratings. I mean, for God's sakes. They're plummet. I mean, Morning Joe down 40%, Joy Reid, down 55%. So yes, I would think that Morning Joe would definitely be in jeopardy, except for the fact that you got a couple of corporate players there who know how this game is played. And they are going to do whatever they have to do to survive because they are survivalists. And he's a politician, and she's her own kind of politician. I mean, after all, she married the boss, right? Come on. I mean, let's be realistic here. Those two are going to manage to keep their jobs.
Starting point is 00:30:05 Everybody else I'm not so sure of. Rachel Maddow I'm not so sure of, honestly. Like, I don't know if she's going to be able to hang on. Rachel Maddow is enormously talented at creating a narrative out of nothing. That's crazy conspiratorial. Like, I remember during the Russia, Russia, Russia stuff, watching her and being like, and they think that we're, those of us, on the right, out there because we don't actually believe this nonsense? And she's like, night after night after night, baited breath, oh my gosh,
Starting point is 00:30:44 and remember Trump's taxes, she was going to get her hands on Trump's taxes. I mean, she was trying to create this sort of dialogue with the viewer that would make them have to come back because she was going to have these little drips and drabs of a crazy story. So I will give her this, she's talented, okay? She's talented at what she does. She's a talented conspiratorial con artist. All right, that's what, that's Rachel Maddo. She's not delivering the news. She's delivering some kind of conspiracy. And she's good at doing it. So does she stay? She may. She may. She also, and I've got specific intel on this because I've talked to the bosses at NBC before. she's easier than others to work with, meaning she works well with management.
Starting point is 00:31:33 My hunch is that Joy Reid was just a disaster on every single level, right? Like, and just nobody wanted to be around her. Nobody could take her anymore. And so they were like, sorry, hon, you're done. The other two on the morning show, they kind of know how to play ball. They're more political. They're running down to Moralago. And then Rachel is somebody that they feel like they can work with.
Starting point is 00:31:53 So maybe she's okay. Maybe Lawrence O'Donnell's okay. and that they can work with him. Al Sharpton, I don't know. I think that Trump hit the nail on the head. It's like, what does he got on Brian Roberts, right? What is Al Sharpton got? Because, man, oh, man, he really doesn't belong on television, period.
Starting point is 00:32:12 Definitely not. Anyway, they're all gone. They're starting a new show with this Simone Sanders and Michael Steele and Alicia Melendez. And this is all courtesy of the new person who's running it, Rebecca Cutler, I don't know much about her. I assume she's cut from a similar cloth as some of these other libs, but she's not willing to put up with Joyce, crappola, as we would say, right? Just no more of it. You know, I will say that as they spin off into this spin-co and they clean house and they try and get rid of some of the more toxic personalities, it's just what you would
Starting point is 00:32:51 call good business. It makes sense. But I think that there's going to be some of the more toxic personalities. It's that there's going to be some more digging to be done, not just around the media, but around some politicians specifically, right? Like Adam Schiff, Hillary Clinton, Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son. And I'm really psyched because Joe Biden is going to be in trouble. Hunter Biden's going to be in trouble. Clint is going to be in trouble because my friend Dan Bongino is going to the FBI. This is amazing news, you guys. Dan, but I don't know if you've ever caught his podcast. He's got a great show. I've known him for many, many years. He's salt of the earth. He is just a wonderful person. He has built an enormous following on that
Starting point is 00:33:33 podcast, sort of single-handedly. It's just amazing what he's created. And he is a true patriot. I mean that, a true patriot. And I'm telling me, he's given up a lot. I mean, I was sort of surprised because he's got a big show, the really, really big following. But he's heading straight to the FBI. So he's going to be joining Cash Patel at the FBI. as his deputy, and this is important. We'll talk about it. It's important for cash to have somebody he can trust. And you can trust, anybody can trust Dan.
Starting point is 00:34:04 Let me tell you. Dan is enormously trustworthy, a wonderful person, and he's going to do an amazing job. Here he is on his own program this morning talking about it. Again, regarding the show, folks, going forward, I will tell you how we're going to wind my portion of the show down. And I'm just going to leave you with this before I get to some other. content and we've got a couple more we've got some shows for you lined up so i i actually put a show
Starting point is 00:34:32 together even though it's been harder than i thought yeah it's hard for him it's taking him a minute it's all real you guys totally i didn't plan on this i didn't plan on a lot of things but i want you to know it is the honor of my lifetime and i hope i'm making a plea to you all personally I hope you're not angry or upset at me for making this decision. I knew it was the right thing to do, but there is a big cost, and I understand that. There's a chance when the mission's over that you guys all disappear and go somewhere else. I'm not going to lie to it. It's been on my mind for a long time.
Starting point is 00:35:21 I hope not. I love you guys, but this is a mission I can't say no to. Yeah. He's such a good guy, you guys. He's going to be great. I know it's hard for him because, you know, he does this show every single day. He didn't even take a vacation for the first two years.
Starting point is 00:35:47 I'm so proud of him, and I know he's going to kill it. And you know what, the audience will be there. I know if you guys watch him now, you're going to watch him when he comes back. He's going to come back bigger than ever. I really, I said to him this morning, I am so happy that you're going there.
Starting point is 00:36:04 because it just, it makes me feel good as an American. The Dan Bongino is going to be there by Cash's side. You know, it's hard because, like, everybody wants to take cash down. You know, the knives are out, and you need somebody who can help be your eyes and ears and cut through the BS, and you don't want to repeat, shall we say, of what Trump went through in 2016. And that's the, that's the danger you run. Like Cash Patel goes into the FBI, all the FBI agents flip out and make his life
Starting point is 00:36:33 A2L, L, much like they did in 2016 for Donald Trump. So in order to get real stuff accomplished, you've got to have real people in there, and you've got to have people you trust. And Dan is one of those guys. So it's just amazing news. I'm so thrilled for Dan. I'm thrilled for cash.
Starting point is 00:36:49 I'm thrilled for America, which is exactly what I said to Dan this morning. I mean, it's so, so good. You know who may not be so thrilled with this? Dun-da-da-da! Hillary Clinton. You know, Dan used to actually be her Secret Service detail. Yeah, that's an old photo of Dan Bonino back in the day when she was Secretary of State. I think there's some investigations that need to happen. And I'm going to go back to Russia, Russia, Russia, because let's not forget everyone.
Starting point is 00:37:21 They tried to convince America that the Russians had video evidence, a tape of Donald Trump. I'm not going to say it, okay, doing really, really inappropriate things in a hope. hotel room in Moscow. The whole thing was made up. But they used this in order to get a FISA warrant so that they could tap Carter Page, who was working for Donald Trump's campaign there in Trump Tower, and learn everything that the campaign was doing, all under this false pretense that somehow Donald Trump was a Russian asset, but that was all built on a whole stack of lies. It was opposition research. So what had gone down was way back in the day, apparently some never-trumper's commissioned some opposition research. And they went to Christopher Steele, who's an ex-Russia
Starting point is 00:38:27 spy, he's like, you know, British spy on Russia and used to run like the bureau there in Moscow. And they figured, okay, well, maybe he can drum up some stuff, but they weren't able to come up with anything. So they just started making it up. And then it turned out that those never Trumpers, maybe they turned around, they decided they liked Trump. And so there was this fiction out there on the marketplace. Then nobody was picking up. So they took it. to Hillary Clinton's campaign. And how this went down was Perkins Coy, the law firm, that was representing Hillary Clinton,
Starting point is 00:39:07 then went over to Fusion GPS, the company that did the research. That was the company, by the way, filled with, I guess, some former investigative reporters from the Wall Street Journal. There were now, you know, hit men for hire, if you ask me. Fusion GPS went out and contracted Christopher Steele, Christopher Steele went out and got some people, including somebody who that the U.S. actually believed to be a Russian spy, believe it or not. I mean, you can't make it up.
Starting point is 00:39:35 And then they concocted this dirty dossier, which led to the FISA warrant. Like, how is that legal? I mean, here we are saying, you know, maybe the virus came from Wuhan, China. And they're like, oh, don't talk about that. All right, you can't talk about that. Nope, nope, nope, no, that's over. or, you know, maybe that Hunter Biden laptop actually really is Hunter's laptop. New York Post, you lose your Twitter account, off with your head, right?
Starting point is 00:40:08 Like, they were shutting stuff down left and right. But somehow this thing got oxygen. So Dan knows this inside and out. He knows every little last angle, and he's going to get to the bottom of that. So Hillary Clinton, watch out. I would also recommend that Hillary Clinton watch out for other reasons, which I'm going to get to. But first, think about what it did to the country, for goodness sakes. I mean, how much did we have to hear about how he wasn't really the president?
Starting point is 00:40:39 Hillary should have been the president. The Russians stole the election. The Russians, the Russians, the Russians, the Russians, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, enough, right? Trump didn't actually win the election in 2016. He lost the election, and he was put in the office because the Russians in a fair. knows he's an illegitimate president. The president-elect, although legally elected, is not legitimate. I don't see this.
Starting point is 00:41:00 President-elect as a legitimate president. You said you believe that Russia's interference altered the outcome of the election. I do. We have a president, who, in fact, it has proven, has been assisted by the Russians that may, in fact, not be a legitimate president. The one thing that Trump is fearful of when it comes to his being president is that finally we will see how illegitimate his victory actually was. I have an objection.
Starting point is 00:41:28 I object to the 15 votes from the state of North Carolina. I object because people are horrified. He's an illegitimate president. Do you believe Trump is illegitimate president? What I believe is that there's no question that the outcome of this election was affected by the Russian interference. There absolutely is a cloud of illegitimacy. Well, that legitimacy is in question.
Starting point is 00:41:46 Yes. So that was a very tainted election. And in that sense, it's illegitimate. That's what they tried to do. Okay, so now Donald Trump is coming back in and he's like, okay, we're not going there again. This is a whole different ballgame, it's a whole different scene. And he's got Cash Patel and Dan Bongino heading up the FBI. And guess what?
Starting point is 00:42:11 They're not only going to look at Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia. But Dan Bongino is very familiar as is cash with something called CGI. Clinton Global Initiative. Peter Schweitzer did a ton of reporting on this. He actually came out with a book called Clinton Cash, and it alleges that there was this pay-to-play scheme in which CGI, the Clinton Foundation, was created to go around the world and help all these emerging market countries. But in exchange, you know, these emerging market countries who had zillionaires in them, well, zillionaires, you know what I mean, billionaires, millionaires, whatever, they had to pay sort of
Starting point is 00:42:52 a fee for entry. Now, it really ratcheted up between 2009 and 2013 while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State. Think about this. It shouldn't have happened, right? Because didn't Obama have all these rules? He was so annoyed. It's why Hunter Biden apparently never registered as a foreign lobbyist, even though he was getting money from Romania and from Ukraine and from China and anywhere else he could because Obama was like, no, no, I don't want anybody's family doing this. But there was a special exception made for the Clinton Global Initiative, CGI. Now, as a reporter, I would go to these things, all right? And I actually, I interviewed Clinton at one of them, and I was always struck by the number of, say,
Starting point is 00:43:46 random, like, Nigerian billionaires getting their picture with Bill Clinton. I worked at Bloomberg television at the time, and then they'd be like, hey, you know, we want you to have this Nigerian billionaire on television. And I'm like, nobody understands what he says, like we're going to need subtitles or something. Nobody cared. Nobody cared. Because I suspect, and I don't know this for sure, but there was some kind of thing going on, right? You pay into the foundation, the foundation has this relationship with certain media, and then all of a sudden, you get your picture, this guy in particular. particular had his picture in the New York Times with Clinton, and then you get to go on television and do this, that and the other. So this is what, again, I have no proof, and Peter's been criticized for this reporting, I'll tell you that, but he's alleging that they were giving favorable treatment.
Starting point is 00:44:38 It goes on to talk about the uranium one deal. So uranium one, a lot of the uranium was coming from the U.S., and they had operations in the U.S., and there was this Russian company, Rosatom, that wanted to buy it. And so in order for that merger to go through, it would have to go through something called Sipheus, which is the organization, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, that would sign off on something like this. And so Sipheus can be kind of tough, right? Sipheus can be kind of tough. And it's not always easy to get things through Siphyas. So what's interesting here is that the guy who ran this uranium one, company, Frank Joustra, I'm not saying that right, he was actually a major donor to the Clinton
Starting point is 00:45:28 Foundation. I mean, he had given like a hundred million bucks to CGI related initiatives. And so the fear was, or at least according to Peters reporting, that this was somehow influencing the approval process. Now, the administration would say, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You know, it's a big committee, lots of people, it's not just Hillary. And so, no, it couldn't possibly have influenced things. There was another case in Kazakhstan. And it seemed like, you know, how was Bill Clinton getting $750,000 a speech in places like Kazakhstan from the government, or $500,000 in Moscow? Was Moscow trying to buy influence with the Secretary of State? That's the question, okay? That is a fair question to be asking. And none of this was really fairly addressed ever. And I think with Dan
Starting point is 00:46:22 and cash in there, a lot of this is going to get looked at. I mean, 32 million commitment from Brains' crown prints to CGI. I mean, CGI is collecting, collecting, collecting. I mean, their wealth is somewhere around 130 million bucks apparently right now. It comes from speaking engagements. Apparently, they don't draw a salary from CGI, but here's the thing. Like, if you have a charity like that and it's got all these hundreds of millions of dollars coming in, where does it go? Apparently to overhead. So they've raised billions. But none of this money is allegedly getting to the victims. So Haiti's a good example. Haiti, I mean, even the guy who was running Haiti at the time said that the people that needed the money were not actually getting the money. In fact,
Starting point is 00:47:18 something like 10% of the funds that had been raised for Haiti actually made it. This is Charles Ortele, alleged that the money didn't reach the intended recipients, only about 10% of the funds reportedly went to Haitian organizations, and the rest were funneled to foreign contractors or went to foundation overhead. This was after the 2010 earthquake. So what? was going on? And is this in any way similar to what Hunter Biden was doing? I mean, it's like a big scale version of what Hunter Biden was doing, but she's Secretary of State. Like, why would she be, I mean, I know we can investigate the server thing and whatever. I mean, that is not as interesting to me as this, because I want to know where the money is. The money trail is everything. You know me.
Starting point is 00:48:04 I'm a business reporter, right? Quick shout out for our, our 76 research, because look at those portfolios, they've all been doing so well. American Resilience, Inflation Protection, Income Builder portfolios, go check them out there at 76 research.com. I would say Hunter Biden needs to watch out. Hunter Biden could face a lot of trouble. Now that Dan Bongino and Cash Battler in the sea, and why would that be? Oh, let's say Burisma. So Burisma is a now defunct natural gas company that hired Hunter Biden, when Hunter Biden's dad was vice president of the United States in charge of Ukraine policy.
Starting point is 00:48:41 And he was getting paid somewhere around 80K a month, which is outrageous. Like there's no board job in the world to be on the board of this Burisma energy company. He, by the way, didn't know anything about energy. But somehow was getting these gigs. I mean, he had one in China. He had one in Ukraine, one in Romania. I mean, give me a break. So what was that about other than access?
Starting point is 00:49:04 I read a piece in the New York Times recently. Another one in the L.A. Times that said, well, that was just sort of part for the course that this actually happens all the time. a lot of emerging market countries feel like if they hire a family member, they'll get better access, they'll get better treatment, they'll have more of a direct connection to the U.S. scary, right? Well, Obama, to his credit, and you know I don't credit Obama with like anything,
Starting point is 00:49:26 to his credit said, nope, we're not going to have family members doing this. So in Hunter's case, he never registered as a foreign lobbyist, despite collecting 80K a month from Burisma. What you should know is that there was a prosecutor that was investigating Burisma because Burisma was doing all kinds of funny things, and that's all since come out. But Burisma didn't like that this prosecutor was investigating them. So they spoke to Hunter, reportedly, and allegedly Hunter went to Daddy. And then Daddy, well, he did this.
Starting point is 00:50:07 watch he admits it this is a speech or something a seminar he's giving at the council on foreign relations with richard huss a few years back talking with so much pride about how he got rid of that ukrainian prosecutor the allegedly corrupt ukrainian prosecutor corrupt according to who according to barisma or loan guarantees and i went over i was the 12 13th time to keep and I was supposed to announce that there was another billion dollar loan guarantee. And I had gotten a commitment from Poroshenko and from Yotsanyuk that they would take action against the same prosecutor, and they didn't. So they said they were walking out to press conference and said, no, I said, I'm not going to,
Starting point is 00:50:56 we're not going to give you the billion dollars. They said, you have no authority, you're not the president. The president said, I said, call them. I said, I'm telling you, you're not getting a billion dollars. I said, if you're not getting a billion, I'm leaving here, and I think it was what six hours, I look at it, I said, we're leaving six hours. If the prosecutor's not fired, you're not getting the money. Oh, son of a bit.
Starting point is 00:51:18 Got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time. Well, there's still, they, so they've made some genuine, substantial changes institutionally. He's starting to brag and say, I got rid of the corrupt prosecutor. But when you peel back all the layers now and you look at what was really going on, Burisma wanted that prosecutor gone. And I've played for you guys in the past. It's in Ukrainian, so we have to translate it.
Starting point is 00:51:52 But that particular prosecutor has come forward and said he believes that he lost his job because he was looking into Burisma. And Hunter did make a phone call to Daddy. And then poof, what do you know he's gone? So I think that Cash and Dan have a lot to work with. And I'm telling you, like, Dan is, he's like straight and narrow. He's a Boy Scout. So he's going to look at this and he doesn't care, like, who's involved.
Starting point is 00:52:21 And if there are bad people whose heads are going to roll, he doesn't care. Like, there's no bias there. He just wants to do what's right. And if you want to do what's right, you've got to weed out this corruption. You cannot have this kind of corruption. in a system. Then you think about what the heck were we doing with Ukraine and this whole war and like, you know, all these hundreds of millions of dollars that were spent. And it turns out, you know, you get the deputy defense director in Ukraine and the head of defense in Ukraine,
Starting point is 00:52:49 siphoning off money, going and moving to Dubai. We can't account for everything. Zelensky can't account for everything. It's our money. And it's a problem because think about the human lives that are being lost. I mean, it just seems to me that there had to have been a better way. Diplomacy is always a better way before you start killing people. And yet they rushed into this one, like as soon as Biden was there. Good news. Donald Trump coming out today in a press conference that he did just moments ago with Emmanuel Macron, the president of France, saying, you know what? This thing's coming to an end. Fast. Watch. I think the war could end soon.
Starting point is 00:53:32 Well, how soon? Within weeks? Yeah, I think so. Right? Don't you think so? I'd like to ask you. I think we could end it within weeks. If we're smart, if we're not smart, it'll keep going,
Starting point is 00:53:46 and we'll keep losing young, beautiful people that shouldn't be dying. And we don't want that. And remember what I said, this could escalate into a third world war, and we don't want that either. You bet we don't want that. I've talked to Trump in the past about this, and he's very adamant.
Starting point is 00:54:10 He does not ever want to lose American lives, period. So he wants to avoid those kind of conflicts at all costs, and he's saying, well, what's in this for us? Right now he's talking about getting the mineral rights. It looks like that deal is on the table. We would be getting the mineral rights to Ukraine's mineral operations. I mean, hey, I'd take it a step further and say, give us equity rights, right? We might as well have some ownership in the thing.
Starting point is 00:54:31 And by the way, wouldn't Ukraine actually be better off if we weren't just profit sharing, but we actually had ownership in some of those mineral facilities? Just saying, just saying. But listen, they're going to come to an agreement here. And it's something that should have been resolved four years ago. But, you know, we are where we are. You hear my voice catching you guys? I've been doubling up on balance of nature because, yes, I have a cold. And you guys are so sweet. trying to diagnose me. And I don't know what it is. I really don't. I just know that I have a very dry cough and I'm losing my voice a little bit. I have not had a fever and I don't feel too achy. And of course, I'm as motivated as ever to get the show on the air because there's so much breaking
Starting point is 00:55:19 news. But I am taking more balance in nature to try and make sure I'm getting my vitamin C. I take my balance of nature every day. They're one of the sponsors on the show and we love them for their patronage and they're vitamins, which are really good. I take the fruits and veggies, the gummies, and they've been great. Like, this is the first time I've gotten a cold in a year, and I usually get like five of them, you know, because I have little kids and everybody's always got a cold, and that's the way we live. But you can get 35% off. If you go to balance in nature.com, you can call them at 1-800-246-8751, 1-800-246-8-751 today.
Starting point is 00:55:54 Go to Balance in Nature. Get the 35% off with Code Word Trish. also free shipping and money back guarantee. So win, win, win. Hey, you know who's going to be in big trouble? Leticia James, like, her stock's going down fast. Pam Bondi is making it really clear that she has very little tolerance for this woman, as well as anyone else who's trying to fight the federal government on some pretty basic stuff. Pam has sued the state of New York. Kathy Hochschild, the governor of New York. She has sued Letitia James, the Attorney General of New York,
Starting point is 00:56:34 and she has also sued the head of the DMV in New York. Here she is on Lara Trump's new show on Fox speaking about how we will win this battle because ultimately the law is on their side. I mean, I'm sorry. This is pretty cut and dry. The federal government controls the border. Not Leticia James in New York.
Starting point is 00:56:57 state. ...writory cities, protecting Americans. I sued the state of Illinois, I sued the governor, and I said, if you don't stop, you're next. New York kept going. They were belligerent, sued New York, sued the governor, not going to stop. So you know, you're going to be next if you're not watching what we're doing and we will be successful and we will make America safe again. Yes.
Starting point is 00:57:22 Okay. So again, I've explained this at length, but basically... the federal government has total jurisdiction over the border. It's why Greg Abbott, down in Texas, was having an issue when Biden was taken down the border wall that Trump had put up. And he's like, no, no, no, don't do that. He didn't have much of a leg to stand on because, unfortunately, at that time, I was like, this is crazy, right?
Starting point is 00:57:44 Like, Texas ought to just secede. This is nuts. They've got to be able to control their own border. Well, they couldn't because the federal government has jurisdiction over that. And so it's not like you can come in and make up the rules. as you see fit and yet Letitia, she must not be a very good lawyer. I know she's not a very good lawyer. I think it's very interesting how people are either talented
Starting point is 00:58:08 as lawyers or talented as politicians. This one is one politician and nothing else. Not only does this administration's new policy put people at risk, but it is plainly unconstitutional. The president does not get to decide which laws to enforce and for whom. When Congress dedicates funding for program, the president cannot pull that funding on a whim. Later today, I...
Starting point is 00:58:35 Oh, yeah. Well, you know, if you're in violation of federal law, I beg to differ. And by the way, so did the judge. Don't forget, it was a liberal judge, too, Judge Chunkin, saying, you know, no, no, no, no, no, you know what? They had asked for a temporary restriction, especially as it went to Elon getting into the systems and being able to access information. And she said, well, you know, I'm sorry, can't do anything here. So maybe it goes up the food chain all the way of the Supreme Court. Well, I'll tell you, Pam Bondi will win that case all day long. All day long.
Starting point is 00:59:06 And do not forget, this is a different Trump administration. They have had four years to think this thing through. Project 2025, I actually loved it. I told you, I cannot laugh that hard because it recaches my voice. But I loved it. In fact, we've talked about Project 2025 on this show. And there was this hysteria about Project 2025, and I'm like, what are you talking about? They get a bunch of really good ideas, really good ideas.
Starting point is 00:59:34 And so I think that they've spent a lot of time studying the policy and studying the law. Stephen Miller is brilliant. And he's had a public policy now, deputy policy chief or whatever you want to call it at the White House. You've got some smart people that have had four years to think this one through. Letitia's like, oh, we're ready for him. We're ready for him. Well, let me tell you, honey bunny, you're not.
Starting point is 00:59:56 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.
Starting point is 01:00:39 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 Hochel. This is not the time to be 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.
Starting point is 01:01:32 Thank you. Aww. And then she was asking for campaign donations, right? She's a bad person. Okay. Let's just, let's get that out there. Latisha James is a really bad person. And we know that because Latisha James went after Donald Trump for something that
Starting point is 01:01:54 never, ever, ever should have been, even an issue. He borrowed money from Deutsche Bank to build some properties. He used Mara Lago as collateral. He said Mara Lago was worth whatever he thought it was worth. Deutsche Bank said, yeah, we agree. We'll lend you the money and we'll use Marlago as the collateral. He paid them back every single dime. Everybody made money.
Starting point is 01:02:22 Nobody was unhappy. There were no victims. but Letitia James decided to sue anyway because she somehow thought that Trump's valuation on Mar-a-Lago was more than she would have given it. She thought it was worth $18 million. I mean, it makes $56 a year, but, you know, Letitia didn't go to school for math. She barely went to school for law. So she doesn't know how to add 2 plus 2, frankly, and she came up with this idea that it was only worth $18 million, and she sued him, and she got some crazy judge. who, by the way, was just as political as her to go along with it.
Starting point is 01:02:58 And the next thing you know, they're hitting him with a nearly $500 million, half a billion with a B, fine. And they're like, if you can't pay it, we're taking your assets. We're taking Trump Tower. We're taking this. We're taking that. I mean, she was just dying to get her hands on this stuff. That is what you call a rabid, malicious.
Starting point is 01:03:21 I'm using that word, you guys, instead of irons, responsible, but she's highly irresponsible as well, a rabid prosecutor who wanted only one thing to take Trump down. How do we have a system that functions if you're going to have AGs or DAs going after people just because they don't like them because they're a political enemy? That's got to stop because I'm telling you, we are no better than a third world country. If that's where we're heading, then we have real, real problems. And I'll tell you, Pam Bondi, she gets it, she knows just exactly what Leticia was up to the entire time, and she has no respect for it.
Starting point is 01:04:04 Because don't forget, as Leticia went voraciously after Donald Trump so that she could try and bankrupt him, the city was freaking falling apart. I mean, the city's a mess. New York City. I used to live there. I lived my entire, entire adult life there, except for a brief five years and what I like to call sucks Francisco because it really sucked. And that was 20 years ago, okay? So like, it really sucks now. Anyway, New York City, I'm so glad I'm not there. Anytime I have to go there, I'm like,
Starting point is 01:04:35 ugh, it's bad now. Well, Pam knows exactly how bad a person, all right? I'm going to actually go there. She's a bad person, Letitia. 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,
Starting point is 01:04:59 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,
Starting point is 01:05:16 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. And 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.
Starting point is 01:05:58 We've 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 away with crimes when they know they can. Look at that vandalism right now that you're showing up on your screen. That's horrific for our law enforcement officers. And that's why members of the NYPD.
Starting point is 01:06:20 Yeah, and that's why members of the NYPD are retiring and leaving in mass because they're not being supported by the chief law enforcement officer. So Pam clearly has no love loss for Letitia. Leticia didn't do her duties. Instead, she just pursued Trump. It was all about Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. that's all she could do, and then she was fundraising off of it. I mean, it's really actually pretty gross as that city continued to deteriorate. So things are changing. I'm thinking about, even, for example, all those people that got fired over at MSNBC, one of them, I can't say his
Starting point is 01:07:00 name. Iman Moheladine. He was actually on the side of the protesters there, right? So he was like, and I think that that's coming back to haunt him in a big way, as it should. You know, don't forget, Claudine Gay, President of Harvard, done. President of U. Penn, done. President of MIT, done. All of these women that were perfectly fine with all of these protests going on. So many of you, I'm watching the chat, are asking about the view. We're going to talk about the view.
Starting point is 01:07:32 We got to talk about the view because I do think that the view is actually next. We also have to talk about the Philadelphia Eagles, because the Philadelphia Eagles may or may not be going to the White House. You see, the Philadelphia Eagles, well, they have a lot of, you know, things stacked against. They did win the Super Bowl, so they got that going for them. But, you know, consider who their mayor is. She can't spell Philly. Again. All right.
Starting point is 01:08:15 So, you know, it's Philly. That's the Philadelphia mayor who clearly does not know how to spell the word Eagles. Unbelievable. Anyway, they're kind of in this controversy right now because it came out that they may not be wanting to go to the water. White House. They won the Super Bowl. And so traditionally, you go and you meet with the president and the Oval office, it's kind of a big honor. And according to some sources, this story got reported recently after the, after they won the Super Bowl, they said they were not going to go, that it was somehow like a, quote, massive no. The story first came out, actually, I believe, in the Philadelphia Sun. Here we go.
Starting point is 01:08:52 They plan to snub the invitation at the White House. That's according to sources that the U.S. Sun that spoke to the Eagles? Wow. Okay, well, what a bunch of losers, right? You're going to, you're going to turn down an invitation to the White House because you don't like Trump? Whatever happened to patriotism? I'll tell you, who needs them, right? Like, we don't need them. Like, don't invite them to the White House. If that's their attitude, forget about it. They got disinvited once before because they refused to stand for the national anthem. They got a whole thing going on. Roger Goodell can't quite get a handle on this. While the president's saying no more DEI, Roger Goodell, who's the commissioner of the NFL, he's like, no, no, we're
Starting point is 01:09:38 not getting rid of DEI, we're all about DEI. DEI is great. So I'm like, okay, if it's that great, when are we going to see an Asian woman as a linebacker playing in the NFL? Because if you actually believe in DEI, well, then that's what you'd be doing, right, Roger? Doesn't quite add up, right? So it's this whole controversy. They're not going to go. Maybe they'll go. The newest, latest,
Starting point is 01:10:06 and greatest, this was the story, right? Just a couple of weeks ago, they weren't going to go. But now things may be thawing. They did have their, I told you that, they got canceled before. Here's the new historian, Politico today. The White House says Eagles have not rejected the Super Bowl celebration invitation. They have not rejected it. although technically, according to my sources, the invitation has not gone out. So there's no invitation, and thus they have nothing to reject. They did, once before, lose their invitation to the White House, and that was because they wouldn't stand for the national anthem,
Starting point is 01:10:47 the wonderful national anthem, which I am very proud to sing and have played this for some of you guys before. Any chance I get to sing the national anthem, look, I'm there. But these guys, but these guys won't stand for it. And you got Roger Goodell at the NFL, like totally fine with it. There's no patriotism for football. Isn't like football as American as apple pie? I mean, it's a problem, right? And this is part of the cultural shift and change that needs.
Starting point is 01:11:24 needs to happen in this nation. It's really, really important that that transpire. So again, they lost their invite last time for not standing for this one. Yes, I am a trained dopper singer. And when I have my voice, it can be something. Anyway, it's a beautiful song. We need to hear it more and more. We need patriotism back in America. That was fun. I got to make some more recordings, right? We can find some more patriotic songs.
Starting point is 01:12:23 I have God bless America too. We'll play that another day. But my point just is, these guys kind of need to get it with the program. You know what? You wouldn't have the opportunity. They wouldn't be making millions of dollars as a football player
Starting point is 01:12:35 if it weren't for the great United States of America. So for God's sakes, accept the invitation to the White House. Act like a patriot. Stand for the national anthem. Be thankful for the opportunity that has come your way for goodness sakes. Or wind up like Joy Reid. Saving all the time, all the time. You know, I think it's going to be more than Joy Reed. What do you guys think? I mean, I have a feeling, and that's the wrong lower third there, I have a feeling that there's going to be more hosts on the way out the door. And it's not just NBC, but it's going to hit CBS,
Starting point is 01:13:21 and it's also going to hit ABC, ABC News. And there's one show in particular called The View. You know, Whoopi Goldberg has been very reluctant to talk lately. Have you noticed that? She just doesn't really want to talk much anymore. She doesn't really say what she's thinking. She's kind of leaving it up to other people. And maybe that's because she's in contract negotiations. I do think this is interesting. They have a new commercial out for the view that's going to air on the weekend. Like, for those of you that can't get enough, you can watch it on the weekend too. Online.
Starting point is 01:13:54 Streaming. Actually, they've kind of figured out that streaming is the be-all-end-all. And so she's conspicuously absent from this little commercial. Get this people. Now we're streaming every weekend. Right to you. With an all-new show and all-new view special for the weekends. Now you can catch the view seven days a week.
Starting point is 01:14:13 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, wherever you stream. Take a little time to enjoy the weekend view. See you on the weekend. Now streaming Saturday and Sunday mornings on ABC News Live wherever you stream.
Starting point is 01:14:33 The weekend view, minus Whoopi. Apparently, she's lost some of her producers. So that's like bad sign number one, right? Apparently, morale is really, really low there because they're firing people at the view. So that's like sign number two. But what I would say is they've got some problems. Because Disney's just gotten rid of its DEI initiative. Disney's in trouble with the FCC, Brendan Carr, who now runs the FCC for Donald Trump,
Starting point is 01:15:06 has already sent Bob Eager, the CEO of Disney a note, a letter saying, hey, nobody trusts. You're programming from ABC News. and it's in part because of this crazy lady. And you know what? I'm just going to say she's a little off. With some of the things that we've heard, I mean, what did she say? He's going to lock up gay people? That was one of her winners.
Starting point is 01:15:26 And then, you know, you got her going after Elon Musk's little kid. I mean, this was bonkers. She enjoyed ganging up on a kid because of his name. So yesterday, Elon Musk took his son, X, to a press conference. Yes. I did not name the check. child. And I don't want to hear any more mess about our names, okay? Okay?
Starting point is 01:15:52 Anywho, he took little X. And little Instagram. He doesn't know an Instagram. He doesn't know on Instagram. He just took a little X with him to a press conference in the Oval Office to defend himself against critics who say he should not have the power to gut the federal agency. What do you think? I actually think she's going to be gone. And I think she's going to be gone because she has become such a problem. I mean, unless she's able to shape up so much. She's trying to go after Elon now instead of going after Donald Trump. But I think that some of the damage has already been done. And so that's sort of one of those things that's still out there. And I suspect what we're going to see at some point this year. And by the way, I've been right on all this stuff. I mean, I hate to tell you. I told you so. But, but. did I not? As recently it was three weeks ago, I told you Joy Reid would be fired. I mean, if I were running the company, she'd be out. And if I were running ABC News, Wuppie Goldberg would be out.
Starting point is 01:16:57 She'd be out because she says a lot of really irresponsible stuff, or malicious stuff, shall we say. Joy Behar, I think she knows she might be out. She put her house up for sale in Saug Harbor for $10.5 million. Letitia ought to look into that one. You look, real estate is whatever somebody's going to pay for it. That's why Leticia has no business inserting herself in between Deutsche Bank and Donald Trump to begin with. And I'm still getting annoyed because we don't have the Court of Appeals decision on that. You know the Court of Appeals in New York.
Starting point is 01:17:33 I've plagued you some of their sound. They think the whole case is bogus. So where is the ruling? We need that ruling. And we need Whoopi Goldberg gone, okay? Like she's not doing the country any favors whatsoever. and whatever she's paid, it's far too much. It is great to have you guys here.
Starting point is 01:17:54 Really, really. Oh, you know, George Stephanopoulos as well. He's going to be out. Mark my words, mark my words. He's going to be out as well. It is really good to have you guys here. Make sure you subscribe, share, like. Tell your friends about it.
