Can you say you're fired? Because that's what this has come down to. He's gotten everyone. He's cleaning house. If you're not MAGA, forget about it. And I'm going to tell you. This is what needed to happen way back in 2016. I actually think Donald Trump's kind of a nice guy.

He's a trusting guy. He assumed that the people in the White House, in the government, were there to work with him on his behalf, only to find out, guess what? They didn't like them, they didn't want him, and all wanted to do was expose him in the worst possible way, even if it meant making things up like Russia, Russia, Russia. So in round two, he's taking no prisoners.

In round two, he's doing what any good CEO actually does, which is you put your own people and you get your own team and you make sure that everyone's on board. Because if everyone's not on board, you don't have a system that can function. And this is all about making the most of the next four years. Hello, and welcome to the program, everyone. I am Tricia. You can make sure you subscribe, share, like. It's really, really important right now.

I'm telling you, this is a new day, and you've got a new guy in charge, and he's not willing to put up with the BS that he had to put up with last time around, which is why he's out there doing what? First of all, revoking security clearances. I love this one for the 51 ex-spooks and hacks and political wannabes and former spies, gosh, pretty disgusting lot of people that were willing to absolutely positively lie in order to get their guy elected. Don't forget what happened there, 51 ex-spooks came forward and they said that that

laptop that did belong to Hunter Biden and was being investigated by none other than the FBI was not his. It was a fake and it was nothing but a ploy by. the Russians to try and hurt Biden. They signed their names to this letter. This letter that was orchestrated by the likes of Anthony Blinken, our former Secretary of State, lousy Secretary of State that he was. He was like the foreign advisor to Biden on all things,

which is no wonder why Biden always had the wrong, wrong decision on everything related to any kind of international crisis matter. So Anthony Blinken, together with Mike Morel, former deputy director at the CIA, They pulled together their buddies and they said, hey, we're going to put this thing together. We want you to sign your name to it. And these people did. And they still had security clearances? I don't think so.

So good for Donald Trump. He's getting rid of all those security clearances, all 51 of them. Mike Morel, take that. And then while he's at it, he's purging. He's getting rid of White House staff that aren't aligned with his magazine. values. Now, before you say, oh my gosh, this is some kind of fascist, totalitarian, here, I'm going to tell you, this is what a good CEO does. When the CEO comes in, if you don't have your deputies lined up, if you don't have everybody on the same page, then you're not going to have a highly

functioning company. You're going to have a little too much drama, a little too much intrigue. You need to make sure everybody's with the program. Susie Wiles knows that. His chief of staff. And she's going to make sure everybody's with the program. Actually, she's making sure she's finding out what's going on with the U.S. UFOs. He told her to do that last night. But I'm not kidding. This is necessary. This is what I wish had been done back in 2016. I'm thrilled to see this. Here's a write-up here on his first day back in the White House President Trump has announced the dismissal of over 1,000 appointees from the previous administration, including notable figures like Jose Andres and General Mark Millie. Additionally, the guy who got the

Pardon, preemptively. We're going to get to that. Additionally, Trump signed an executive order ending remote work for federal employees. Oh, my goodness. They're actually going to have to come into the office. Heavens. Mandating their return to office environments, these actions signify a major administrative shift and reflect Trump's intent to realign government personnel with his vision. I mean, after all, he is the president, and you're supposed to serve the president. but for whatever reason, because it was Donald Trump, and because they were coming off the Obama years,

they figured they didn't have to serve him. He wasn't their president. He wasn't even, in their eyes, a legitimate president. The only legitimate president would have been Hillary Clinton. I mean, that's what she claimed. That's what Carter claimed. That's what they went on to say. I mean, they are the ones, by the way, mind you, that started this.

Never forget that. Ladies and gentlemen, they are the ones that started, all of it. So the purge has begun. After the balls last night, he went three balls. He signed like 74 executive orders. He had a press conference. I mean, this was like, wow, he's back in a really, really big way. He then started putting out this over on true social, the truth, as they call it.

Our first day in the White House is not over yet. my presidential personnel offices actively in the process of identifying and removing over a thousand presidential employees from the previous administration who are not aligned with our vision to make America great again. Let this serve as official notice of dismissal for these four individuals with many more coming soon. That would be Jose Andres from the president's council on sports, fitness and nutrition. You know, he wouldn't take a meeting once with former President Trump when he was president because of something that he believed. I believe Trump had said referring to Mexicans, so I think Trump's carrying a bit of a grudge on that one.

Mark Millie, as he rightly should. Mark Millie from the National Infrastructure Advisory Council, Brian Hook from the Wilson Center for Scholars, and Kea Lanz Bottoms from the President's Export Council. You're fired. He also got rid of DEI altogether. There is no more DEI initiative in the government, thanks to Donald Trump. So the line is back. Straight from the Apprentice.

Here's the governor of New York Post. You are fired. Trump announces purge of over 1,000 employees. Here's who was ousted on day one. Listen, it has to be done. You got to do it because if you don't have a team that's united with you, how are you going to get these initiatives forward? You're going to wind up being distracted because this one says that and this one leaks that and this one's writing that and you're not going to get any work done. They're just going to be talking to the media the entire time. And this is all about a White House that believes in productivity. I guarantee you, Trump's going to like nothing better to say, did you see that GDP chart? And did you see inflation? You see how inflation sink and GDP's going

up. That's the direction we want to be going in. Ladies and gentlemen, we want more money in everybody's pockets, more money that they can then choose to spend because you'll want the market forces at work, right? Not government forces. Joe Biden believes that if you just spend more and more and more on the big giant bureaucracy that is Washington, D.C., then somehow that's going to trickle down to the people. But it doesn't trickle down to the people. No, the people just want to keep what they rightfully have already earned. This is a fundamental difference. And this is a big part of why Donald Trump's there. He's also talking about opening up the energy markets again so that we can drill here in the United States of America. Joe Biden didn't want to do that.

I mean, Joe Biden, I don't even know if Joe Biden wanted to do that or didn't want to do that because he didn't even know that we had cut off liquid natural gas supplies. I mean, he didn't know anything. He didn't even know his own darn poll numbers. They wouldn't tell him anything. The guy was sleeping all the time. He didn't understand why he didn't have a meeting beyond four o'clock in the afternoon. That was all orchestrated by Dr. Jill Biden, her close confidant, chief of staff, whatever,

Anthony, something. And then there was that woman, Annie. I mean, they were like a little team of people. running everything and now you get Donald Trump, he's not going to let anybody run him. He's running the whole show. And that means a lot of changes. They're all coming and they're coming fast. So get ready.

Okay, we have a lot to cover in today's show. 200 executive orders. I mean, he's out there demanding that we shut down the borders. The border app has been shut down the migrants. They're sobbing because they want to come into the country and they can't. Oh, wow. And then the media is struggling. with this one because Joe Biden really screwed up. Joe Biden's out there issuing

pardons for himself, not really himself, but his entire family. He can't actually be convicted because the Supreme Court ruled on that one. But, you know, Hunter could be. And the rest of the family could be. So he's doing all kinds of things to prevent that. And the media doesn't know how to manage this. We're going to get to all of that. Plus, the plot to sabotage Carrie Underwood. There is an effort underway. I kid you not. I've been around the media long enough. I know how these things work. They are trying to take this poor woman down, this woman who stood up for Maga. They are trying to take her down. And you know what? We need to stand up for her. So I'm going to get to that.

Gold's been actually on a tear, again, up in today's market. I was looking at today's market.

And I'm like, you know, you know me. I like to go in and buy when things are going down. And, I mean, I can't buy anything today. Absolutely anything. The only thing I could buy was Ethereum. What do you know? Ethereum was trading down a little bit, but my entire portfolio was higher, higher, higher, higher, and why is that?

I'm going to tell you why that is, including, by the way, some infrastructure stocks that we recommended recently, but my gold is higher, everything's higher. Again, go check out Trish lovesgold.com, but I'm going to tell you why that is because everybody believes in what's happening that this momentum is there. The train has left the station and that you finally have some adults in charge that actually understand economics, markets, and business. and that's going to pay off in spades. And so, yeah, you're going to market that's moving higher.

There's nothing lower. I mean, I'm looking, and I've got a pretty well-diversified portfolio. It's amazing today, absolutely amazing. And I was talking to Rob Horton, my colleague over at 76 Research earlier today, and he pointed out that, guess what, one of the stocks, two of the stocks, actually, that we recommended to you just last week in the 76 report. Wow, they're soaring. They're up like 5, 6 percent since then.

76 report, go to 76research.com right now, if you can, code word dollar, D-O-L-L-A-R, because we have all the stocks there. This was just in the 76 report. This is the cheap one. You just pay a dollar a month, D-O-L-L-A-R with my code, 76Rexcom. We have two stocks that are going to benefit from the infrastructure play, and they're up like five, six percent. They're both trading up like three percent today alone. Again, the president is going to be issuing a press conference. He's got that coming up momentarily, so we'll learn more. about infrastructure, but this is phenomenal, good stuff ahead. And I love that. The media, by the way, they can't defend Joe Biden in any way, shape, or form. You know why? Because Joe Biden is all

about pardons, pardon, pardon, pardon, before anybody's convicted of a crime. Like, these are the pre-preemptive pardons, the ones that the media was so upset about the possibility that Donald Trump might actually do, which he never did. Last time around, take a look at that list. That looks very interesting. we got James Biden, we got Sarah Jones Biden, we got Valerie Biden Owens, John Owens, another family member, Francis Biden, Dr. Anthony Fauci, ooh, Dr. Anthony Fauci, you needed a preemptive pardon, hmm? General Mark Millie, Liz Cheney, oh, I know why Liz Cheney deserved one, because she was doing some stuff that was, woo, along with Adam Schiff and Adam Kinzinger and all those other members of the J6 committee. But here's the thing. Like,

If you're not guilty of anything, if you didn't commit a crime, why are you being pardoned? I mean, this is the most bizarre thing I've ever actually ever seen. Like, I've never really heard of this. And you know what? It's a stain on his record. CNN admitted it. John King, he's like, Mr. CNN says, yeah, like, I mean, it's not a lot to say about this. Other than it is a stain on the Biden legacy.

You bet it is, buddy. It's just unseemly. If you're going to do it, have the courage to do it in the light of day and explain it to the American people. It's a stain on his legacy to do it like this. Of course it is. But, you know, I mean, he's so clueless. I don't even know if he knew that he was doing it. He probably didn't know.

It was just Hunter saying, hey, dad, you know, I may need this. Or Adam Schiff? I don't know. I mean, I want to go back in time to December of 2020 when they were so worried that Donald Trump was going to do the same thing, which he didn't. because he actually has a soul, thank you very much. But this is Adam Schiff, oh, going on and on, complaining to one joy read about, you know, why would anybody do this?

And why would anybody take this? Four years ago, December 2020, take a peek. Have you ever heard of somebody getting a preemptive pardon who was innocent of all crime? Who's just an innocent person? Have you ever heard of that, just somebody getting a blanket pardon? And they're an innocent person? No, you know, I think that it's an effort not only to prospectively pardon people for things they have not yet been charged with and may never be charged with, but also it's the president's own family. It's people that have been covering up for the president in addition to his own family.

This is the nature of those the president has surround himself with, including his family. And that is, it's been essentially a den of these environment. And so I think the president used this as his way of trying to protect those that have protected him. You lying schmuck. I'm telling you, the shift show, which was back in action, you know, he's a want to be actor. He wanted to be an actor out there in L.A. It didn't work out so he became somehow a congressperson. Lucky us.

Adam Schiff, the star of the shift show, speaking in 2020, saying how bad these partners were. Yeah, you bet they're bad. So you know what? I'm going to hold him to his words. I agree that these preemptive pardons. are just weird. I was delighted that Trump didn't do it, but you know what? Biden did because these people are so messed up. Here's Chuck Schumer back in 2020. The president seems intent on filling each of his remaining days in office with petulance, grievance, self-interest. The president's

reportedly asking his staff about whether he can preemptive part, whether he can issue, presidents reportedly asking his staff, whether he can issue preemptive pardons for himself, as family members, Rudy Giuliani. There's a simple answer. No. No, Mr. President. That would be a gross abuse of the presidential pardon authority. All right.

Well, I'm glad we're in agreement on that. I mean, even Biden knew he could do it. President Trump is reportedly considering a wave of preemptive pardons. Does this concern you? All these preemptive pardons? Well, it's, it concerns me in terms of it what kind of precedent sets and how the rest of the world looks at us as a nation of laws and

injustice. You're not going to see in our administration that kind of approach to pardons, nor are you going to see in our administration the approach to making policy by tweets. You know, it's just going to be a totally different way in which we approach the justice system. Totally different way, which is exactly why I decided to part. my whole family as well as the J6 committee and Millie and Fauci. All right. So this is coming up. You heard John King, they're on CNN saying,

you know, it's kind of a stain on his legacy. MSNBC is trying to justify it. They're like, well, you know, you just don't know because Cash Patel and all these people, Pam Bondi, they may go after them. And so they've got to do this. Listen, if they go after them and they find something, then hey, guess what? They deserve to have been gone after.

Do they not? Isn't that how it works? Unbelievable. Here's Cory Booker trying to justify it on CNN. Another Democrat. On that point, I want to get you to respond to this because what I'm already hearing from people who work for Trump and are his allies

is that there's really no leg for, that Democrats don't have a leg to stand on because President Biden leaving today, you know, issued a wrap. of parted, including for his own family members and his sister and his brothers and their spouses, and then also for an activist, an elderly activist who is convicted of killing two FBI agents. Chris Ray did not even want him to commute that sentence that President Biden did today. They say that that doesn't give Democrats an argument here to criticize these pardons.

What is your response to that? I mean, I think that's the mistake we're seeing now is people trying to reduce this to tribalism. This is not about Democrat or Republican. You know, Joe Biden pardoned a lot of people. Yeah, he should answer for that and explain what he did in his reasoning. But the people he pardoned, his family members, did not, before the naked public eye, beat police officers, try to overthrow our government, lead to the death of police officers, and have injuries, scars, both visible and invisible on police officers that are still affecting their lives today.

This is not about left or right in our country. We can't just say this is a tit for tat or their side did it so my side can do it. No. Yeah, right. I mean, Corey, you're not even a talented liar, okay? You're just bad. You're just bad at your job because you don't even know how to lie. It's just so gross to hear these people.

I mean, it really, really, really is. I mean, look, Adam Kingsinger, he's taking the darn pardon, even though he told CNN. to his last month that he wouldn't. Then issue pardons for January 6 committee members, including yourself? No, I don't want it. Look, here's... You don't want it? No, because the second a pardon is issued...

Look, I understand the theory behind it, because Donald Trump has clearly said he's going to go after everybody. And it's not going to be for the January 6th investigation. What they'll do is they'll weaponize other investigations. They'll look into everything and start an investigation that'll end up coming to not force people to pay money. This happened to Brad Raffinsberg in Georgia. he was forced to defend himself.

But the second you take a pardon, it looks like you're guilty of something. I'm guilty of nothing besides bringing the truth of the American people, and in the process, embarrassing Donald Trump, because for 187 minutes he sat there and did absolutely nothing and showed how weak and scared he truly was. So no, I don't want it. And, you know, the bottom line is, I mean, if he wants to bring, if he wants to bring up January 6 again,

we've had all this talk about how we're moving on from January 6th, and trust me, Anderson, I would love to. Like, my wife has been defined by this for four years, but if he wants to bring it back, I will be happily talking about everything the committee did and learned and re-abance. Some people may not realize is you're saying you don't want to pardon. Fighting whatever might come your way can cost you and your family, I mean hundreds of thousands of dollars. You think about it. And this happened with...

But I guess he's taking it anyway, along with everybody else there, getting the pre-pardons, the preemptive pardons. Talk about unraveling the country and creating some kind of... Supreme Court crisis. I mean, this is where they're, this is where they're taking us, ladies and gentlemen, all right? This is exactly where they are taking us. So let me just ask the question. Is there any way that the president can undo this? Think about it. I'm going to do some research on that. I was talking to a constitutional law scholar just yesterday about it. I want to be careful how I frame this. But, I mean, this is bizarre. And then here's the other question. So it sounds like if they can't actually

be thrown in the slammer for anything that they did that was illegal, I guess all you need to do is get one of them to turn. If you get one of them to turn, because they can testify now against themselves without any kind of penalty, maybe we actually have a shot of figuring out exactly what went down. And you see, it will have the reverse effect, but at least we will get to the truth, which is what we need, transparency and truth. Trump got a kick out of the pardon series. Like, Why that? H-E-D-O-L, are you protecting these idiots? But I was really going to talk about the level of, you know, what's going on,

why are we doing this? Why are we trying to help the guy like Millie? Why are we doing Millie? He was pardoned. What he said. Terrible what he said. Why are we helping some of the people? Why are we helping Liz Cheney?

I mean, Liz Cheney is a disaster. She's a crying lunatic and crying, crying Adam Kinzinger. He's a super crying. I never saw the guy not crying. He's always crying. Always crying. He likes to cry.

He shows his emotions. You know, he could star in Adam Schiff's next show or something. Very emotional crowd there. Anyway, speaking of pardons, you know, who got the pardons just last night, Donald Trump coming forward with a big promise. The J-Sixers, all. were pardoned and some of them made it out of jail and en route to the inaugural balls to celebrate. Wow, this was a moment.

Take a look. Donald Trump had this sort of wild freewheeling press conference where he's signing one executive order after another, after another after another, and he's talking to reporters the entire time he's doing it and he's having a grand old time. Watch what he does as he frees those prisoners that were put in jail for J6. mutations in there where we're doing further research nice to see you again the big one anything you want to explain that about this we hope they get them we hope they come out tonight frankly they're expecting it approximately 1,500 people six commutations we're looking at different things but the commutations would be the

commutations would be the ones that we'll take a look and maybe it'll stay that way. Amazing, right? Just amazing. All this stuff getting done. And while he's at it, he throws in a withdrawal from the WHO, the World Health Organization, which was costing us plenty. And he said it was one damn lousy deal. What is this one? What is this one? Withdrawing from the World Health Organization. Oh, that's a big one. So we paid $500 million to World Health when I was here, and I terminated it. China with 1.4 billion people.

We have 350 to pay. We have, nobody knows what we have because so many people came in illegally. But let's say we have $3.25. They had $1.4 million. They were paying $39 million. We were paying $500 million. It seemed a little unfair to me. So that wasn't a reason, but I dropped out.

They offered me to come back for $39 million. In theory, it should be less than that, but, you know. And when Biden came back, they came back for $500 million. He knew that you could have come back for $39 million. They wanted us back so badly, so we'll see what happens. Pretty sad, though. Think of it. China pays $39 million, and we pay $500 million.

and China's a bigger country. Yeah, by bigger country, it means they got a whole lot more people than we do. So why are they getting off the hook? I mean, finally, somebody like actually having some kind of lens, economic lens at all of these deals. You pulled out of the Paris Climate Accord as well. I mean, it's like, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, there's change.

There's lots of change coming. If you're not on board of it, guess what? You're fired. Really. And that's what he has to do. Because you need to take ownership of this apparatus that is the White House, that is our government. You need to make sure that they are serving the president and that they are there to help and to serve you and to further your agenda. Rather than you being some kind of puppet working for them.

We've been a little too much of that. He's like, no, no, no. Whoever's in charge is in charge. And to that end, we are only beholden to the American people. In other words, he works for the taxpayers. The American people are his boss. And he is therefore the boss of the government. And that's how it works, which is why we're going to start getting a lot of information

on a whole lot of stuff and they're declassifying everything. I'm waiting for Epstein. I'm waiting for Diddy. In the meantime, there's some goodies. coming our way. Take a listen to him here. As a first step toward restoring transparency and accountability to government, we will

also reverse the overclassification of government documents and in the coming days we are going to make public remaining records relating to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert Kennedy, as well as

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and other topics of great public. It's all going to be released, Uncle Sam. Uncle Sam, watch out. Uncle Donald's in charge now, I can't say. The people are in charge now. And to that end, guess what? Some more good news.

Turns out there's only two genders, male and female. I can't believe that we actually have to have this written in as an executive order. I can't believe it. But you know what? It's a crazy world these days. and with Joe Biden, anything would go. I mean, I don't know if he, did he even know what gender he was? And he's so up there in age, right?

He didn't know what day it was. He didn't know anything. But I'll tell you, Donald Trump knows there's male and female, and that's about it. As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female. Yeah. Well, it had to be said. And then there were some other little nuggets along the way. For example, the Gulf of Mexico is no longer the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf of Mexico is now, ladies and gentlemen, the Gulf of America, and that's actually relevant because there is a storm brewing down in the Gulf of America. We can say that right now. It actually involves Florida, and they're talking about the Gulf of America. I'll tell you, one person that did not like that very much, no, no, no, no, no. When he mentioned this, Hillary Clinton was in the audience, and he

Hillary Clinton was, well, amused maybe? I mean, she's not taking him seriously, but hey, look, lady, it's happening. It's already happening. Of course, her husband was the one who put in NAFTA, right? NAFTA, which actually really did a lot to damage the middle class hardworking Americans that voted for him. Here she is reacting to Donald Trump saying, work on at the Gulf of America. We are going to be changing the name of the government.

Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, and we will restore the name. Yeah. Okay. You can laugh all you want, Hillary. It's happening. And guess what? He's in the seat and you're not. Kamala, you can cry and laugh too.

They hate Donald Trump. They hate anybody associated with MAGA.

And if you step out of line in any. which way or form, they're going to try and make it into something it's not. In this case, you know, Elon was really, really excited. You see him here dancing all over the stage. He's super excited. I mean, he so much was on the line. This is what victory feels like. Yeah, right? So he's all pumped up. He's super excited. And he makes a hand gesture. He makes a hand gesture, which then, of course, the left interpreted as the worst possible thing. I guarantee it, you know what? He's like, he's kind of a big Zionist. This is not what they thought it was, but that doesn't stop them from going there. And of course, they went there. Let's show you the gesture and let's show you the reaction.

I mean, like CNN is playing this thing in a loop. It is everywhere, every single website leading with this thing. It's really kind of gross, given his history and given how much he cares. He actually, he wears something around his neck that was given to him by a family whose child had been taken hostage there from Israel, and he said he won't stop wearing this until every single hostage is returned. He's pretty committed. But nonetheless, CNN has to do what CNN's going to do. Take a peek. I just want to look at that salute that he gave again. Just if anybody missed it, we'll just show it again. He's just wrapped up here. You can hear the All right, so we just showed that. We just showed that.

Right. It was quick. I think our viewers are smart and they can take a look at that, but it certainly was, it's not something that you typically see at American political rallies. Put it that way. No, no, it was not something that you usually would see. And it was quick, as you point out, it was very quick, but it was in a moment of intensity for him as he came out dancing and then he did that.

He is a hero here. a hero here. And I just want to say thank you for making it happen. Thank you. My heart goes out to you. It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured. So somehow putting his hand on his heart and then raising it up to the crowd has now been interpreted as a Nazi salute. Okay, because that's exactly what they're going to do. That's exactly to be. expected, you have to be so uber careful. Like, you know, I don't know, I was, I was afraid to make the A. O K sign. I still am right now because I'm like, I don't know. Was the A.L.K sign meaning something else? Oh, there was this great video of Lara Trump and her husband, Eric, and they're

standing there and he had his hands kind of like in this, in this funny position like this, just like in a triangle standing and she nudges him and encourages him and he takes his hands, he puts him down. And I'm like, why? Because like somebody doesn't know. Like, what are they going to interpret this as some kind of super-due? super secret signal to some group that you're not supposed to be associated with. This is, this is what the media has become. They get nothing else to talk about, about other than how much they hate Trump and they hate Elon. So here we go. Over to this guy's show, I thought he was canceled. They haven't gotten rid of him by now. Jim Acosta is supposed to be unseated. He's going to

midnight. Yeah, it's like the Siberia of television news, but he got to live another day and say this on the air. And I just want to say thank you for making it happen. Thank you. Thank you. After this moment when viral congressman, the Anti-Defamation League released a statement, we can show this saying in part, it seems that Elon Musk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute. Of course, if you go on social media, there are lots of other people with lots of other opinions and say this looks very much like a Nazi salute, no matter how they're trying to clean it up. What was your reaction to that? That was a Nazi salute, and he didn't just do it one time.

He did it twice for emphasis. And you talk to anyone, historians, folks actually study the Nazis and study this actual kind of disgusting display will have been very clear that what that was. And he should not just apologize, he should be condemned for those kinds of action. So gross, disgusting,

but more of what we can expect, I think, from Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Yeah, okay, so he's talking his book. That's a Democrat from California, and he wants to take these guys down. So, you know, no mention of the fact that, oh, Hillary Clinton's been known to do that. Kamala Harris has been known to do that. Obama's been known to do that.

And one Elizabeth Warren's been known to do it too. You know, you can't put your hand in the air anymore. They're going to say something. They're going to say something. Oh, but no, only only you see if you're a Republican, only if you're a maggot. That's the only group that's going to get in trouble with any of this. I mean, it's going on and on and on. They feel like they get a dog with a bone.

I'm telling you, we've got to rally around Elon because this is not right. Listen to Chris Murphy, who by the way is not exactly pro-Israel, Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut, Democrat. He was among the 19 Senate Democrats who voted to block certain U.S. arms sales to Israel in November of 2024, right after October happened, okay? So this is not like some kind of guy that's pro-Israel. No, no, no. If anything, he could be arguably much more pro-palel.

and therefore anti-Israel, but here I'm here going on and on with Elise Stefanik. I want you to watch this. Of Elon Musk, perhaps the president's most visible advisor, doing two Heil Hitler salutes last night at the president's televised rally. No, Elon Musk did not do those salutes. I was not at the rally, but I can tell you I've been at many rallies with Elon Musk, who loves to cheer when President Trump says we need to send our U.S. space program to Mars. Elon Musk is a visionary. I'm looking forward to his work in Doge, the Department

of Government Efficiency, and look forward to looking how we can be more efficient and effective. But that is simply not the case. And to say so is the American people are smart, they see through it. They support Elon Musk. We are proud to be the country of such successful entrepreneurs. That is one of our greatest strengths as Americans. Let me share with you what a few Americans have said about it. Evan Kilgore, right, political commentator wrote on X, holy crap, did he long must just Heil Hitler at the Trump inauguration rally? This is incredible. We are so back. Andrew Torba, who's the founder of the right-wing Christian nationalist social platform, Gab, said incredible things are happening as he

amplified the visual. The Proud Boys chapter in Ohio posted the clip on a telegram channel with the text, Hyle Trump, a chapter of the white nationalist group, White Lives Matter, posted it on telegram. Thanks for hearing us, Elon. The white flame will rise again. I could keep going over and over last night. White supremacist groups and neo-Nazi groups in this country rallied around that visual. Does it concern you that those elements of the neo-Nazi and white supremacism

element in the United States believe that what they saw last night was a neo-Nazi salute. What concerns me is this is what you, these are the questions you believe are most important to ask to the UN ambassador. I have a very strong record when it comes to combating anti-Semitism. We just had a historic election where President Trump earned historic support from American voters because of his strong leadership combating anti-Semitism, which has been a scourge across the country skyrocketing since October 7th. So I intend to bring moral clarity to this position and continue to speak out as a voice,

as a beacon of light, condemning anti-Semitism at the United Nations. Good for her, good going, Elise Stefaniq. In other words, they're going to run with this narrative, but let's be very clear, what do you think was going on on college campuses all last fall? And who was that led by? The left, the left, the left, the left. the left. So now the left is trying to turn it on its head and say, oh, this is Elon because he

having to throw his hand up in the air. I mean, this is ridiculous. Even the Anti-Defamation League has come out and said, no, no, this is just an awkward gesture by like a really excited guy who's so pumped because guess what we won. And that is a victory, frankly, for the world. But you know who these people are. You know exactly what they do. We saw it for four solid years. Of course it's Trump is a Nazi time again. Let's deal with Hitler, okay? I don't think it's hyperbolic to say that. I mean, that is Mussolini Hitler-like language.

Trump's affinity for Hitler was always covered under an umbrella of his stupidity. Echoing Hitler's words. Listen to this. Well, Hitler was duly elected. That's all echoing the hateful rhetoric of adult Hitler. Okay, you got it. Been there, done that. Guess what, guys.

America elected him, and it was a big mandate. Not only did he win the electoral college, he won the popular vote. So you're gonna have to get with the program, okay? It's insulting to history. It is insulting to the millions of Jews that died in concentration camps. It is insulting to the allies, to the American soldiers that fought for freedom,

for you to be making comparisons like that. It is disgusting, it is wrong, and it needs to stop. We're done with it. Elon, he needs his friends right now because they're trying to take him down. They're trying to take Carrie Underwood down too. I'm going to get to that in a second. But first, German Chancellor Olaf is trying to take Elon Musk down. It's Chancellor Olaf versus Elon Musk.

Over at Davos, the German Chancellor sat down and had this big conversation about free speech. And he's like, oh, we have free speech in Germany. We have loads of free speech in Germany. provided it's the right kind of speech, of course. So on the question of the dealing of Elon Musk, I had a lot of things to comment in the past because he was discussing a lot about Europe. And just to repeat what I already said,

we have the freedom of speech in Europe and in Germany. Everyone can say what he wants, even if he is a billionaire. And what we do not. accept is if this is supporting extreme right positions and this is what I would like to repeat again. Oh, I see. So everybody has freedom of speech so long as you're not supporting an extreme right position. What about extreme left? I guess that's fine. That's all fine and dandy, right? You can be as lefty as you want.

But if you're extreme right, that's when we have a problem. I mean, of course, if you actually believe in freedom of speech, you believe that the answer to what you might think is bad speech is actually more speech because you actually need to have these conversations, open dialogues, and speech is speech. So they don't believe in free speech over there in Germany, not at all. So Elon, of course, having a little bit of fun with it. I get to commend him for a sense of humor.

Robbie Starbug putting this out at the World Economic Forum, Olaf Schultz, the German chancellor, just said that Elon Ma should know that Germany, Europe's freedom of speech doesn't accept extreme right positions. So Elon writes, shame on oath shits. I mean, I thought Olaf was pretty good because I'm thinking, you want to make a snowman, you know, from Frozen, Disney's Frozen. Wasn't Olaf the snowman? Anyway, maybe it was, yeah, it was all off the snowman. Shame on oath, shits. Look, Elon's actually been very supportive of the conservative movement in Germany.

So he represents, you see, a real threat to Mr. Schultz. I nearly said Schultz. I nearly said Mr. Schitts, but I'm being careful, okay? And so because he represents such a threat, of course, course, Chancellor Olaf just does not want that kind of speech out there because that kind of speech might actually lead to him losing his position as chancellor. Pretty simple, right? It's exactly why Joe Biden was like, my biggest regret is that I didn't clamp down on misinformation. Excuse me? Clamped down on misinformation. I mean, you were misinformation. That's all we got was

misinformation. We were told that we were cheap fakes if we dared to show some video of you looking like you didn't know your way around town, you know, like looking like you might be lost. We were the cheap fakes when you kept going on and on and on and on and had no point to anything. A lot of us were concerned for you. Like we've seen this before in loved ones and we had some concerns for you and for the country, Mr. Biden. But you wish that you could have controlled the information more. Gosh, you do sound a lot like Olaf.

Olaf's making sure that he controls the information. he does not want Elon allowing anything that would be perceived as extreme right. Extreme left, go for it, right? Yeah, you're home free. I'll tell you, it's unbelievable. It's really, really, really, really unbelievable. But there are good things to come. I know there are good things to come.

I want you to go to invest in maga.com so you can participate in the good things to come. This is my own financial research company that I started with a longtime friend named Rob Horton.

Melania Trump, wow, right? Was she not stunning yesterday all day, last night? I mean, absolutely positively stunning. She is clearly a beauty, just unbelievable presence. Really, I mean, and everybody's like, what's the deal with the hat? What's the deal with the hat? What's the deal with the hat? the hat about blah blah blah blah you know she's got such a beautiful face i would say she didn't necessarily

need the hat but she's so stylish that it it worked like she could like she could wear anything okay like she really really good boy they look a little awkward there don't they in that in that in that forced photo poor poor jo trying to smile he's doing his part he's trying okay all all good but look at milania just how stunning she is let's go back and see that oh my goodness you know it's amazing because didn't they put Jill Biden on the cover of Vogue like Jill was like the be all end all for style you're looking at style right there and that would be with Melania Trump but she gets no love no no no no no no love because you know it's Jill that's the gorgeous one with the fishnet stockens I'll never forget that tacky tacky gosh don't let Lauren Sanchez see the fishnet

stockins we don't want her to get any ideas anyway the hat kind of stole the show everybody was looking at that and then you go onto the dancing at night and oh my goodness the gowns were beautiful. And not just Melania, Usha, really ramped it up. Did you see this, guys? I mean, so Donald Trump started dancing with the swords to YMCA. It was kind of hysterical, but just take a look at the dress. It's really, really stunning, the black, the white, and then Usha as well in that blue sequin

and just all done up. What a good-looking group, right? What a good-looking group. I will tell you, Melania Trump has some. of the best style I have ever seen. And I kind of consider myself a little bit of a connoisseur that I have a artistic flair and I like nice clothing, nice furniture. You know, like I used to paint actually way back in the day. You probably didn't know that about me, right? I used to paint. And so I think that that sort of influences even me in terms of how I dress and the appropriateness

for an occasion. And wow, she was just stunning, highly, highly appropriate, gorgeous Ushah as well. And, well, you know, there was another woman that was making some noise, a splash, shall we say, for her outfit choices. And, well, let's just say she's no Melania Trump. That would be Lauren Sanchez. Lauren Sanchez is a former anchor, I believe, out in Los Angeles, who has caught the eye of one Jeff Bezos, which, by the way, says a whole lot about him. Does it not? I mean, not to be cruel or unkind or catty. But what? What the hell is that? Should we move in closer? Can you guys see it? I mean, what the hell is that? Who, where's that?

To an inauguration. Like time and place, honey pie, time and place. I'm going in. I'm going in. Okay. Wow. All right. That is, that's what you call a bra. I'm pretty sure. Like, she's just got her brawn. I think they had a Seinfeld episode like that. Sue Ellen, you're wearing a bra. Lauren, you got a bra on. But the best part of all, the best part of all was Mark Zuckerberg because he got kind of busted for catching a peek.

Did you see it? This is like been playing on the internet, right? Like a meme over and over and over again. Boom. Mark's hit puberty. Oh my gosh. Here's the thing. Like it's just not, it's not tasteful.

It's just not tasteful. We don't have to have her that big on the screen, do we guys? I mean, it is really, really and truly not tasteful. My grandmother used to say, you can't buy. class. And I think this is a perfect example of what my grandmother meant. Like, you got it? Or you don't? But it's not for sale because she's got all the money in the world. I mean, like he's one of the wealthiest men in the world. This little, little number, the brassiere, like apparently made by Alexander McQueen and cost like 1800 bucks. I mean, she's going,

all the money in the world. But she's no Melania Trump. Okay. We're talking. We're talking. We're night and day here. We get trashy Lauren Sanchez and we get elegant, stunning, sophisticated, gorgeous Melania Trump. And I don't know what Lauren was trying to, maybe she needs attention. Is that what this is about? Again, I just say, you know, like time and place. You and Jeff Bezos want to like wear that kind of stuff around the house. Like you do your thing, okay? But you're at the inauguration, honey. So step it up. Like cover. Cover. Cover. yourself, right? And I'm no prude. Believe me. I'm no prude. Like, you know what? You got it? Great. Flunt it. In the right place, at the right time. Not at the inauguration of the future president of the

United States of America. No, no, no, no, no. Lauren, this is just all wrong. My former colleague over at Fox, Megan Kelly, she said, she looks like a hooker. I was going to go with prostitute, but hooker's good, too, okay? I agree with her. Not okay. And what does this tell you about Jeff Bezos? He is really basic. That's what it tells me. One basic guy, because it's the same old story with her over and over and over and over again. All she does is where are the girls out on display. Oh, she tried to sort of cover up a little bit for the evening event for going to one of the balls. she posted this on Instagram and it looks lovely and I'm like, oh, okay, she kind of pulled it together. She clasped it up, but I was wrong.

I was wrong. Take a look at this. Well, you know, she just keeps showing the skin. And like, what kind of picture is that? Really, why are you posting that on Instagram? You are one desperate girl to get a lot of attention. But I'm telling you, you're just not going to get it. Not when you are standing next to a woman like this.

Not when you've got the likes of Melania Trump and Ushavans, commanding all the respect, not to mention, Ivanka Trump, who looks stunning. And Lara Trump, who looks stunning. I mean, you know, this is competitive territory, shall we say, Lauren. So I guess you're reduced to pictures like that. Okay. I'm going with Megan. Yeah. She looks like a hooker. Carrie Underwood, what are they trying to do to carry Underwood?

I mean, really, I'm beginning to think that this is some kind of very deliberate, orchestrated attack on Carrie Underwood, almost like a sabotage attempt because she dared, she dared to get out there and stand up for MAGA and sing a patriotic song, America, the Beautiful, for the inauguration of the President of the United States of America. Apparently, this is not something you're supposed to do, not if you're part of the Hollywood set. Joy Behar, I guess, tried to warn her the other day on the... We'll try this again. We'll see if we can get Joy up.

Here we go. Register your complaint by not downloading her songs and not going to her shows. But I also think from a business standpoint, it's not a bad decision for Carrie Underwood. 75 million people voted for Trump. Artists tend to skew left-leaning. So she's overnight going to become an... icon of Maga in the American right. She's probably going to make a lot of money off of it.

So I get why she did it. I say. I'll tell you right now I wouldn't do it even though I can't sing. No, I would not. I would not normalize him. And she says, I love our country. How do you love your country and support and normalize somebody who was a convicted felon who really wants to destroy the country, in my opinion? I don't understand how you say you love your country at the same time as you normalize this convicted felon, which I can say now every day. lot of my family voted for Trump, they love the country and vote for him. I think that people make these decisions for a lot of re-due. Okay, fine. You know, you do what you do. Listen. Okay. So, if you read between the lines there, she was saying, how dare you? You know,

you should never actually go and sing at the inauguration because then somehow you're supporting in some way and recognizing this man as president. Forget about the fact that, you know, you might be just patriotic. So they also want to make sure, in my estimation, because I'm going to tell you what's going on and what's going down. I think that they're trying to prevent her from possibly making any money off of this or establishing a fan base. And I say this because they're planting a whole bunch of stories that are really kind of lousy. First of all, consider the fact that there is this tech glitch. Like, how does that happen? You can't play a lousy tape recorder guys? I mean, what exactly went down there? There was this tech glitch. And so she had to sing America, the beautiful

Acapella, she did a phenomenal job. It's not easy. You're surrounded by all these people in a room, right? And you're suddenly singing an acapella, and you don't even have so much as a piano there where somebody can hit a note or a pitchpipe or anything. You just have to start right out of the blue. She asked everyone to join in.

Yeah, Kamala was going to be damned if she'd join in. You guys were so funny. I was looking at some of your comments. You're like, no, no, no, Kamala didn't even know the words. Carrie said, hey, you know the words. Come on, join in. If you know the words, help me out here. Oh, beautiful for spacious skies,

for amber ways of grain, for purple mountains majesties. Look at Kamala, she can't, she won't even bother. I mean, even Doug is kind of trying, sort of, Biden's trying. Hillary's trying. Hillary's trying. Gosh, I love that song. Oh, man, I love it.

I love it. I love it. I love it. I've recorded it myself. If that's not on the YouTube channel, we need to do that. At least for the Fourth of July. Wow. I mean, she was amazing.

She was amazing, right? And no sooner had that happen, then all of a sudden this hits the Daily Mail, which is kind of a conservative publication. So I'm like, what the heck? Carrie Underwood had a hissie fit after her performance at the Donald Trump inauguration. Hissy fit, really? Now, I can see, like, in fairness, right?

Like, it's not really great that the tech system went down. It's not really great that she was just sort of standing there in the crowd, but there was something so extraordinary and special about it and so raw and so authentic. I'm getting chills just talking about it because, listen, that's what this is. It's all not so perfect, right? It's all just raw and authentic and transparent. That's symbolic of where we're going as a nation, in that we're getting rid of the layers and layers and the facades and the costumes and the hoopla

and the production. Even just hear what I do with you guys every day on this live program. Please make sure you subscribe, share, like, all that good stuff, make a comment. This is all about just me and you and this. authenticity and this rawness and it's not always perfect. But I can see her being like, hey, you know, what happened? What happened to the tech system? And then that somehow translates into, oh my gosh, she had a hissy fit. I mean, notice the choice of words. Hissy fit, and this was planted in a rather conservative publication. And then it gets worse. Okay. So that was one thing.

So like, you know, I was sort of suspicious. I looked at it. I was like, well, you know, like I kind of feel for her. It wasn't really fair. And, and let's be honest. Let's be really honest. Guess what? Lady Gaga got like the red carpet treatment, right? So I get it. And then this thing came out. This thing came out right here. Carrie Underwood, list of demands for Trump inauguration performance revealed after she threw a, quote, hissie fit. What are they trying to do to her? Remember how it came out in that Justin Baldoni, Blake lively, lawsuit. after lawsuit, right? Like, they're like counter-suing each other. And it turned out that Justin had hired this PR firm to basically, like, orchestrate a hit on Blake. And, you know, I don't know where your loyalties are on that, and I'm not really that read into it. But what I would just say is, yeah, okay, welcome to the, welcome to the big leagues. The media is a kind of mafia, and they're trying to get something to take off. So they're trying, somebody out there is trying to

hurt Carrie Underwood. They're saying, oh, she had this list of demands. Well, it turns out the list of demands were things like, you know, tech requirements, obvious. She wanted tickets for her family. I mean, is it that much to ask that the singer for the inauguration be able to bring her parents? Like, really? Look at the headline. So somebody's trying to do something. I kind of even wonder if the tech crew was trying to mess with her, right? Oh, sorry, the tape recorder's not working, can't play your accompaniment. And then it's hard, it's hard because you're in this big room and you're getting like weird feedback on the sound.

And so Ariana Grande apparently was complaining. I mean, I mentioned this. Like there was at one point where she just kind of got a little off key, but like, again, it's going to happen. It's raw. It's authentic. It's real. We love that, right?

It's transparent. And it all happened on the fly. And Ariana Grande is shading her because of it. So here's somebody trying to give life to the story. All right. This is Ariana Grande, by the way, who has a lovely voice. But you know what? I've never heard her sing live, unaccompanied.

I've only heard her in Wicked. And she did a pretty good job. Woke little thing that she is. But I haven't had, she's not singing for the inauguration live, Acapella. I mean, that's a whole other story. So someone is trying to take carry underwood down. And I have a feeling it's because the libs control music and they control Hollywood. And the idea that anyone's going to step out of line, you know what happens.

I've talked to so many actors that have had this experience. They're like, the minute you like cross over admit that you're conservative, boom, done. Gonzo. You can't get a gig anywhere. And it's sort of like that's what they're trying to do to carry, but they're also simultaneously trying to make sure that no MAGA supporters are going to like her. You can't like her because she's a prima donna. Well, you know what? She's not. She's a great, great girl who got up there, like girl next door and said, you know what? I'll just sing it. No accompaniment, no stage, no fanfare, nothing like the life. of what Lady Gaga had.

Oh, let's see, remember this? She had an escort. I mean, she got the royal treatment. When she sang, it binds inauguration. Guess who else got the royal treatment? Beyonce got the royal treatment, of course. This is what they get. So, if I'm going to be picky,

can you imagine if Carrie Underwood wore that hairstyle? If Carrie Underwood had worn that hairstyle, with the Eagle thing, they would have accused her of being a Nazi too. Okay, I'm just gonna say it. So Elon and Kerry would have then been in the same bunch together. Look, you know, if you're Lady Gaga and you're performing for Biden, all is forgiven. If you carry underwood, you dare to step out of line, you dared to actually go into territory that you're not supposed to go into, they want to take you down.

take you down. And that's just wrong and that's just unfair and I don't like it. And I think that, you know what, people are going to have to show some support. There is a story breaking right now on Pete Hegseth. I'm going to share with you, of course, it's going to the New York Times, which, of course, just loves this because the New York Times wants to take Pete Hegsett down. You know, I used to work with Pete Hegseth at Fox and I'm going to tell you, great guy, never had any of the experiences that some have reported. It's sort of bizarre to me, all these anonymous sources coming out saying this, that, and the other. But they really, for some reason, do not want one Pete Hegseth to be the defense secretary. So this just broke right now. Hegseth ex-sister-in-law tell senators he was

abusive to second wife. A woman once married to the brother of Pete Hegseth. The defense secretary nominee submitted a sworn statement to the Senate in a late hour complication. His attorney is denying the account. You know what's kind of weird is like why wouldn't the ex-wife do that? This is the sister-in-law. So this is the ex-wife's sister. I'm kind of wondering if it was the ex-wife's sister that may be sent the letter from the mother, the email from the mother as well. So this again, just breaking right now, saying that he had been abusive and that she had once hid in a closet from him and had a safe word to call for help if she needed to get away from him. This is a sworn affidavit from Danielle Dietrich Hegeseth, the former wife, actually, of Mr. Hegss's brother. So, okay, forgive me, I'm getting the, it's the former, let me clarify this.

This is the former wife of Pete Hagsess brother. And she's describing erratic and aggressive behavior by Pete that caused his second wife, I think he's on his third, to fear for her safety. And it was given to the New York Times. It also accuses him of frequently drinking. We've heard this as well before. So this is certainly going to be something that slows down. And I think the process, I, you know, again, these are people's personal lives and, you know,

what are we to say? It's rather interesting to me that the ex-wife hasn't come forward. This is the sister-in-law. So his brother's wife or his brother's is his brother's ex-wife. Yeah, the brother's ex-wife. So you know what you don't know here? you don't know like what personal vendettas people have against one another. And I just wonder how much of that creeps into it.

I think that Pete would bring a really refreshing perspective to the Department of Defense. I think he's really smart. By the way, he's got like Harvard and Princeton on his record, not that that's everything, but, you know, he's gone to good schools. He worked briefly on Wall Street, first out of school, and then went into the armed services. I mean, he's actually, you know, walk the walk and can talk to talk, so to speak, right?

Like, he's been out there in the field, and that's very different from sort of the corporate types that have run the Defense Department before. So we'll see what comes of this. It looked as though he was really on his way to having some success there. the confirmation was happening, I will point out that he has said, or Samantha Heggseth, apparently, who was the wife, has said that she, quote, did not personally witness physical

or sexual abuse by, okay, I get it. I'm going to not read any more of this because I actually want to do some due diligence for you rather than just reporting this live on the fly. what I would just say, though, is that there's a lot of personal feelings here. I was shocked by all the anonymous reporting as well that came forward and was sort of disappointing. But anyway, New York Times has a big story out on this right now, and we'll have more on that in tomorrow's show. In the meantime, go over to 76 Research. There's a big infrastructure play going on right now. We're all over this.
