Starting point is 00:00:00 Well, we knew this day would come. Did we not eventually that we would see the indictments of some pretty important, some pretty powerful people? Well, then again, I don't know how important, so to speak, Letitia James is. I've always kind of debated that. Perhaps she thinks she's important, but the reality is she's about to be obsolete. I mean, in all seriousness, these people could be heading for jail, ladies and gentlemen, and that is the reality of where we are now. A long time coming, is it not? Welcome to the program. I am Trish Regan.
Starting point is 00:00:32 This is the Trish Regan show. We get a lot to get to here in today's program, I'll tell you. Apparently James Comey is going down. James Comey, Letitia James, the whole lot of them. Plus, oh, Jimmy Kimmel's really lousy. And I mean lousy, non-apology. We can't even call it an apology because clearly it was not. We get a lot to talk about.
Starting point is 00:00:52 Yes, big stuff. James Comey about to be indicted. Apparently, sources from his camp are leaking in this one to MSNBC. And then you got another one, Latisha James, about to be indicted. Don't forget Donald Trump sending that true social post out just the other day saying, Hey, hey, hey, Pam, we need to get moving on this stuff. And brought in Lindsay Halligan while they're getting moving. So watch what's going to happen.
Starting point is 00:01:18 Remember Dan Bongino said this? Dan said, hey, watch what's going to happen because it's happening soon. It's happening fast. And right now, we are just hours away from this. all as Jamie Kimmel gives a non-apology. I'll tell you, he should just be ashamed. So should Bob Iger, because Bob Iger, who's the CEO of Disney, never should have let it get this far.
Starting point is 00:01:42 And I'll tell you, investors are not pleased with him. We begin today's show on James Comey being indicted. That is happening momentarily, possibly within the next couple of days. We'll say the next 48 hours to be safe. It is coming from people in his case. camp that have told MSNBC this is underway. Let's listen in. With resources familiar tell MSNBC, former FBI director James Comey is expected to be indicted in the coming days. The full extent of the charge is being prepared against Comey is unclear.
Starting point is 00:02:15 Joining us now, MSNBC Justice and Intelligence correspondent Ken Delanian and MSNBC senior investigative correspondent Carol Lenig, Crystal Leary, Ashley Parker, still with us. Carol, help us understand the reporting. So, Katie, we have some sources to say that for several weeks now, the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Eastern District of Virginia, and actually in offices that are potentially much further south than Alexandria, have been eyeing ways to indict Comey, and they are getting very much closer. The statute of limits, forgive me, rephrase, they are arguing that Comey, there is
Starting point is 00:02:56 evidence to suggest Comey lies. to Congress in his testimony on the Hill in September of 2020. And for viewers out in the audience who may not be legally as nerdy as me and Ken, I'll just say that there's a statute of limitations to charge people with the crime of lying to Congress or perjury, and that's five years. The five-year statute runs this month. So what exactly is he accused of lying about, Ken? Well, there was any...
Starting point is 00:03:27 Yeah. Well, you know what he's lying about. He was lying about whether or not there was some kind of effort to derail the Trump presidency. And by the way, I don't think it takes a PhD to figure out exactly what they were up to. Since then, by the way, since Donald Trump came back into office, what have we learned from Tulsi Gabbard? Oh, that actually, after Donald Trump was elected,
Starting point is 00:03:49 it seems that Obama held like an Obama gate meeting in the Oval Office where he instructed every... to basically run down intelligence that they knew was fake, that they knew was false, that they knew had been discredited about Donald Trump effectively being some kind of agent of Putin. All right? So that's what they were trying to do. And so the fact that he's involved in this is pretty darn significant. James Vickery, thank you for the generosity. Let me go to my friend Dan, because Dan Bongino, who is a very good friend, one of the best people in the business.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Like, I'll tell you that. Like, he's just a really good guy and he's true blue. And he said something a few weeks ago that I want you to pay attention to because he meant it. Every single word of it. And what we're about to see sometime within the next 24 to 48 hours is exactly what Dan said was coming. Take a look. Let me ask you about, are you going to be looking into Cash and Pam, any potential collusion between the DOJ, Letitia James, the novel legal theory of Alvin Bragg or Nathan Wade or Fannie Willis and the DOJ.
Starting point is 00:05:00 Is that something? Has anything come up? Is there any way to determine whether or not evidence was destroyed in any of these cases? Well, there's always a way to determine that. I don't want to comment on that specific case right now for a reason. I don't want to get ahead of the Department of Justice on that. But I want to say this. You know, the FBI obviously has the public correct.
Starting point is 00:05:23 corruption portfolio. And yes, if you are a corrupt politician out there, if you are engaged in behavior, you know what you're doing, we're going to find you. I promise. No one is going to get off the days of selecting and putting your, you know, partisan bias on and taking care of your friends. Those days are over. You know what, Sean? I don't have any friends. I don't want any friends. Well, maybe outside of you and a couple of, I don't care. I didn't come here for the money. I didn't come here to make, I know. I love it. for the money. I can tell people that for sure. I don't give you to make friends. I don't have any friends. I don't have any friends. I got my
Starting point is 00:05:58 wife. I got you and I got a small crew of people. So I don't need any friends. If you want a friend in D.C., get a dog. We're coming for you. That'll help. Yeah, go. You want a friend at D.C.? Right. Go get a Labrado do like I am. Because there are no friends in D.C. You've been doing this around, what, 30 years. There are no friends here. Okay. So I do consider him a friend and I hope he considers me a friend, but I will tell you this. He promised that this was coming, and he wasn't kidding. So specifically, Hannity asked him about Letitia, James Comey, this is happening.
Starting point is 00:06:32 I'm going to change this lower third on the screen because I suspect it was James Comey telling MSNBC, but we'll go with sources just to keep it clean. James Comey, sources tell MSNBC he'll be indicted. Now, that is expected sometime momentarily. Like, at this point, we're on like indictment watch. Okay, so this is what we're going to be doing. We're waiting for James Comey and Letitia James to be indicted. You heard the MSNBC contributor talking about the importance of the statute of limitations.
Starting point is 00:07:04 So this goes back to September 2020. And you see, we're running out of time. It's September 24th, okay? And if you get a five-year statute of limitations, we're looking at September 24th, 2025. This thing has to happen within the next several days. There has been an argument out there, and I think that one could give this some credibility, that actually the clock is a little bit longer on the statute of limitations because Comey continued to lie, even after the 2020 thing.
Starting point is 00:07:32 But the most strong case they have against him is lying under oath there before Congress. And so that's what they're going to try and pursue. So you can anticipate, again, that it could come tonight. It could come tomorrow. It is going to come. James Comey has admitted, well, sources close to James Comey have admitted that he will be indicted momentarily. Sources I know high up in the administration tell me this is coming.
Starting point is 00:07:59 So be on standby. You know what? Don't feel bad for the guy. Don't feel bad for him at all. You know why? If you lie, if you deliberately try to circumvent the will of the American people by trying to damage an incoming president, with Intel that you know is fake and false, I think you got a problem there. I remember how he went
Starting point is 00:08:24 after Carter Page? Think about that and a few other people while we're at it, but he went after Carter Page. He wiretapped his phones in Trump Tower under this premise that somehow Donald Trump was a Russian spy, a Russian asset, if you would. And they wanted to be able to determine more information about that. I mean, it was totally bogus. We know now it was totally bogus. But why would anybody do that? I mean, like, that is, that's not American. Like, that is taking things to a whole other level, ladies and gentlemen, out of control. And so you have to fix that. If you're going to fix America, you have to make sure that that never happens. Do either side ever again. And all these people are, oh, my gosh, this is payback. I see. That's the headline, right?
Starting point is 00:09:07 In the Daily Mail payback time. You know what? This isn't, this isn't, this isn't not just payback. Let me be really clear. Because look at what they did to Donald Trump. They tried to bankrupt him. They tried to put him in jail. They tried to indict him five times. I mean, they did indict him five times. They impeached him multiple times. I mean, it just didn't stop. And one of the orchestrators of all of it was not just James Comey,
Starting point is 00:09:36 but on the bankruptcy side, he had none there in Leticia James, Letitia, baby, honey, who's going to be facing possible prison time. Here's an MSNBC analyst talking about what Lettisha may be up against as well. Let's listen. Expand on what Ashley's saying. Donald Trump, for years, has been telling his followers that James Comey committed crimes, did horrible things to Donald Trump, spied on his campaign. And they took him seriously.
Starting point is 00:10:00 And you see all the time, I see on social media, questions to Pam Bondi and Cash Patel, why haven't people been arrested? Where are the FBI agents being dragged off to prison over the Russia investigation? You know, why is James Comey still walking around free? They believed that. And now with that call on truth social, you know, Donald Trump appears to be trying to fulfill that. And that is the kind of weaponization that the Trump campaign and Trump aides and Donald Trump himself accused the Biden administration and the Biden Justice Department of doing when, in fact, what was happening over there was career FBI agents and career prosecutors following the law and the facts and making decisions totally divorced from politics and from Merrick Garland. a special counsel. And so
Starting point is 00:10:48 people need to understand that this is something we have not seen in the United States, the idea of political pressure on prosecutors to bring cases when career prosecutors think that the evidence does not merit prosecution case. Again, we haven't seen the evidence. We only have the reporting from you guys
Starting point is 00:11:04 that Eric Seiberd decided to resign because the evidence he didn't believe was there for prosecution. If they present evidence that shows that James Comey was an anonymous source in a newspaper or they present evidence that they believe shows that James Comey did lie under oath to Congress.
Starting point is 00:11:26 What does a prosecution look like and what is the other side of that? Well, it should look like a prosecution of any other American citizen. And, you know, we should have equal justice under the law. You know, I highly doubt that happened, knowing Director Comey, I served under him, despite the political rhetoric about him. He's a principled leader, and he was well regarded in the FBI for the, you know, relatively brief time that he was there. So I think it's unlikely. And, you know, what was talked about, the FBI director and the deputy director don't need to leak information.
Starting point is 00:12:01 They have the authority to engage with media, as do special agents in charge of every field office of the FBI. Below that, it's very narrow on engagements with the media. All right. We're going to keep talking about this. everybody stick around. We're going to take a short break. Okay. You're going to take a quick break. We're staying on it because this is coming. Okay. And again, I want to correct the lower third because, well, I do believe their source happens to be James Comey. We're going to go with James Comey. sources tell MSNBC he'll be indicted. We're also hearing that Leticia James is about to be indicted.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Now, Leticia James is another one. I mean, who just don't feel bad for her. Believe me, I don't think any of you do. But between Comey and Letitia, and by the way, there are more to come. There are more to come. But I want you to understand the magnitude of this. I mean, when you have somebody who's the now former head of the FBI, but then head of the FBI going after when he did until he got fired by Donald Trump,
Starting point is 00:13:06 the president was such viciousness and vitriol and partisan. lines, that actually sets a very dangerous precedent for our country, which Tulsi Gabbard, now head of DNI, came right out with in her confirmation hearings. Remember when she said this? American people elected Donald Trump as their president not once but twice. And yet the FBI and intelligence agencies were politicized by his opponents to undermine his presidency and falsely portray him as a puppet of Putin. Title I of FISA was used illegally to obtain a warrant to spy on Trump campaign advisor Carter Page using a Clinton campaign funded false dossier as their so-called evidence. Biden campaign advisor Tony Blinken was the impetus for the 51 former senior intelligence
Starting point is 00:13:55 officials letter dismissing Hunter Biden's laptop as disinformation specifically to help Biden win the election. Former DNI, James Clapper, lied to this committee in 2013, denying the existence of programs that facilitated the mass collection of millions of Americans' phone and internet records, yet was never held accountable. Under John Brennan's leadership, the CIA abused its power to spy on Congress, to dodge oversight, lied about doing it until he was caught, and yet has never been held responsible. Under Biden, the FBI abused its power for political reasons to try to surveil Catholics who attend traditional Latin Mass, labeling them as quote-unquote radical traditional nationalist
Starting point is 00:14:39 Catholics. Personally, just 24 hours after I criticized Kamala Harris and her nomination, I was placed on a secret domestic terror watch list called Quiet Skies. Sadly, there are more examples. The bottom line is this. This must end. You better believe it's going to end. You know, myself, I mean, I shared a story about Hunter Biden's laptop after Joe Biden had become president. And I wound up not being able to access my audience, not this social media platform, not Rumble, not YouTube. They don't need to remain nameless. I'll tell you who it was. It was Facebook. And I was not allowed to access that audience for a year. And I tried appealing, et cetera, and they said, no, we can't do anything about it. I mean, what the heck was that, you guys?
Starting point is 00:15:32 And by the way, it was all true. It turns out the laptop was not Russian misinformation. fed to you courtesy of Putin and Rudy Giuliani, it turned out the FBI was actually already investigating Hunter Biden because of some of the stuff that was on that laptop. So they played this game and they played it hard, man. I mean, they played it really, really hard. And now they're like, oh my gosh, how dare he come after us. Well, you better believe he's coming after you because you know what? This can't happen to anyone. People shouldn't be at risk of bankruptcy because Leticia James decides your Mar-a-Lago property isn't worth what you think it's worth, despite the fact that Deutsche Bank, who was lending you the money, thought it was worth that, right?
Starting point is 00:16:15 I mean, that was the most bogus, most ridiculous lawsuit I've ever seen. I'm offended as a business reporter. But Leticia James, according to MSNBC and other news outlets, she is expected to be indicted shortly. I can tell you my sources high up within the administration, also saying you can anticipate this one coming. You know, this woman, she went out there like a rabid dog attacking him every single solitary day and tried to get a judge to find him some half a billion, billion with a capital B.
Starting point is 00:16:49 She wanted to bankrupt him. She wanted to go in and take over Trump Tower. Remember, well, if we have to confiscate his assets, we will, she said. Well, guess what? There's this little thing called the Eighth Amendment where you can't have this kind of crazy, unusual punishment for something that, well, I think is highly in dispute because again, I'm not going to go with the AG from New York trying to determine what a particular valuation on a Florida property is. I mean, she, she's not that bright. I'd like to try and see her making in real estate, but this thing got thrown out by the
Starting point is 00:17:22 appeals court just a, you know, a month or so ago, remember? A news alert, a New York appeals court just this morning has thrown out President Donald Trump's massive civil fraud penalty. The decision from a five panel, group in New York's appellate division changed the original decision that stood to cost Trump over $500 million. Crazy. One appeals judge calling the lower court's penalty an excessive fine that violates the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution.
Starting point is 00:17:50 You might remember that New York Attorney General, Letitia James' office, says, despite this decision, they will not be dropping the case. Yeah. No, she actually is going to try and appeal this one. Because she's crazy. And Leticia James. actually thinks that this is her only mission in life. This is her key to political power.
Starting point is 00:18:09 This is her way of fundraising. Just go after Trump, go after Trump, go after Trump. We've heard the nauseating commentary, have we not? But just in case you forget, I want to make sure that you don't feel bad for her for two seconds. He's called me venomous. We will fight back to your attempt to bring Trumpism to New York City. He's called me disgraceful.
Starting point is 00:18:29 A fact that they stole the Supreme Court C. He's called me radical. Listen, we know he's crazy. He's called me a racist. We've got to stand up to an administration, which is two male, too pale, and two stares. Gosh, she really disgust me. She really shouldn't, right? Like, I shouldn't have that much of reaction.
Starting point is 00:19:21 But I do. I do because what I see was a politicization of a movement. In other words, Obama, he never got over the fact that he couldn't usher Hillary Ann. Well, nobody should have picked Hillary, okay? Just like you shouldn't have picked Kamala. Like, this is not hard, people. It's not hard. It's kind of like who the heck is producing or picking, I should say,
Starting point is 00:19:44 who are the producers picking talent on CNN and MSNBC? Because none of the talent is any good, okay? It must be the same people picking the candidates to run for president for the Democrat Party. Because, again, they can't pick talent. They got no clue. They put Hillary Clinton, one of the most despised people up there. And then then they put Kamala Harris. Oh, I got a sound bite to show you later on.
Starting point is 00:20:08 This one's good. You'll laugh. But it was so crazy. They made so many mistakes. And yet they just couldn't fathom it. How could this guy, this guy who was nothing but a real estate developer in New York City, a guy who was the host of what that's operated show on NBC, the apprentice, How could he come in and waltz in and take it away from the woman who was destined to be the first
Starting point is 00:20:34 female president of the United States? Oh, and then he did it not once, but twice. They can't take it. And you know, they're really scared right now. Why do you think James Comey was out all over the airwaves on MSNBC saying, you cannot vote for him, you cannot vote for him, you can not vote for him, you can not vote for him. Why? Because he's going to get me. And I might actually be in a whole lot of trouble. Well, buddy boy, why the heck did you do what you did? Like, why was everybody participating in that charade? Why were you trying to convince Americans he was basically the worst thing since the days of World War II?
Starting point is 00:21:08 Back to a German dictator. I don't even like to say these things because it's so disgusting and pathetic, but this is what they were trying to push, okay? This is what they wanted you to believe. And now they're like, oh my gosh, how dare he come after me? Well, you know, I'll tell you, he better come after you. Because if it's allowed, if it's tolerated, then you're going to do it. it again, you're going to do it again, you're going to do it again, and nobody. Nobody should have
Starting point is 00:21:32 to go through that. Letitia James, she's going to be indicted, with James Colemane for two things, okay? We've got one, the indictment coming over the alleged mortgage fraud. And Lindsay Halligan was just put in, don't forget, because they got rid of Eric, last name, Schneider, I think was his name, because he wasn't willing to move forward with the case. Donald Trump has been upset about it. He sent Pam, I guess a text that he made public over the weekend saying, hey, hey, what's being done about Comey, Adam Schiff, D. Schiff. We're going to add Adam Schiff to this whole thing. And Letitia, they're all guilty as hell, but nothing's going to be done. Then we almost put in a Democrat-supported U.S. attorney in Virginia with a really bad Republican past,
Starting point is 00:22:15 a woke rhino that was never going to do his job. So he's like, this can't happen. We're going to move forward. We're going to move forward. We're going to move forward together. He announced that he was putting in Lindsay Halligan. They're in the spot taking over for Eric, so she will move forward on the prosecution for both Letitia James and, of course, likely James Comey. So all of this is coming together at a really critical time, a critical time because I'm going to say it and I'm going to keep saying that you can't live in a world where this is tolerated, as our now FBI head, Cash Patel has articulated. Listen to him.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Confirmed as the next FBI director, I will remain focused on the FBI's core mission. That is to investigate fully wherever there is a constitutional and factual basis to do so, and to never make a prosecutorial decision that is solely the providence of the Department of Justice and the Attorney General. For the first eight years after law school, I served as a public defender, first for Miami-Dade County and later for the Southern District of Florida. During that time, I represented some pretty awful human beings, charged with some pretty heinous crimes. But what I learned there was the core value
Starting point is 00:23:29 that has been enshrined in me since. That due process must be provided without bias to all Americans. And if we cannot provide due process to the worst, then there can be no due process for anyone. And our constitutional republic fails. And by the way, do you think there was any due process for Donald Trump? No, it was we don't want him running again.
Starting point is 00:23:49 So we're going to make his life a living H-E-D-O-L until we can make sure of it. Fannie Willis, that mugshot she was so proud of, Fannie Willis, Fannie like my, you know what, Fony, Fony Willis, and then you had Alvin Bragg and then you had, oh my gosh, Smith, Jack Smith, and then, I mean, unbelievable, unbelievable what they put this country through. So guess what? It's all coming back to bite them in Fannies, you know what, okay? That's what's happening, and it has to happen because we can't live in a world or just because you run for political office, somebody that's
Starting point is 00:24:27 viciously against you like a Letitia James or a James Comey can come out and try and destroy you, period. Full stop. Meanwhile, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, another Jimmy, James Comey, we go from James Comey to Jimmy Kimmel. Jimmy, you can do better. Well, no, apparently you can't. You just really suck at apologies, don't you, buddy boy? This is what he said last night.
Starting point is 00:24:49 This is just so gross. You know what he said to begin with, trying to say that the kid that murdered Charlie Kirk was somehow one of the MAGA population. It was blatantly untrue. We knew that. I've told you guys this. Larry Tribe, who's the U.S. constitutional law professor from Harvard, big deal guy. Total, total hack for the Dems. He even had to apologize on Sunday on Twitter because he said that.
Starting point is 00:25:13 And it was not true. But what did Jimmy do with his 200 producer strong team editorially looking at all his content? I decided to go on TV on Monday night and say that this was a MAGA guy. And he was joking about it. It was awful and it was so bad that Disney, of course, had to pull him off the year. But then they realized this thing was getting out of control. And Bob Iger, he might be losing his job. So they put him back on.
Starting point is 00:25:34 They put him back on. And when did he say, it was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man? I don't think there's anything funny about it. Hmm. No actual apology, though. No actual apology. No, not from Jimmy. America rejected all of this.
Starting point is 00:25:52 Let me continue on. Nor was it my intention to blame any specific group for the actions of what was obviously a deeply disturbed individual. To some my remarks felt either ill-timed or unclear. I get why you're upset. You think. And then he continues on. He continues on. That was really the opposite of the point I was trying to make.
Starting point is 00:26:15 but I understand that to some that felt either ill-timed or unclear. Unclear? Ill-timed? Do you think? I mean, the guy's not even in the ground and you're saying stuff like that. What a loser. Seriously, what a loser. And what a loser, Bob Eager and the entire team at Disney and ABC,
Starting point is 00:26:37 what losers they are for not having any kind of oversight on this. I mean, you can, I get it. People are mad. Oh, he was canceled. He was pulled off the air. Well, he's back. You know, he's not canceled. He gets to go on the air every night. And by the way, he could go on MSNBC all day long, because that's cable. It's not broadcast. And they don't have the same kind of rules. I mean, you can't live in a world in late-night TV where you have only one conservative on your show in three years. Like, it's no longer funny. You've actually become a propaganda arm for the Democrat Party, like it or not. So he never actually said,
Starting point is 00:27:14 I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I did not mean to say that. I'm really sorry. I was wrong. He never retracted or backtracked on the original remarks about the kid being Maga. He never did that. He never acknowledged any defamation or direct misleading statements. Instead, he just focused on intention and interpretation. So now people are really mad. Really, really, really mad. And this is one grumpy guy anyway. I don't know when this video was taken, but I'll tell you, he doesn't have a lot of personality.
Starting point is 00:27:52 Check him out in the airport. Honestly, just leave me alone. I'm filming New York, man. I don't care. How did Obama do? Listen, I'm not interested in this. How many times do I have to tell you? You know what you told me either.
Starting point is 00:28:06 Grumpy, cat. Okay, here's the thing. Hardly anybody even took the show. Like 20% of the stations were like, we don't want you. We don't want you. We don't want your brand of comedy. So you had Sinclair, you had Nexstar saying, we're not taking it,
Starting point is 00:28:22 we'll put something else on. Instead, he refused to apologize. I mean, he had some complimentary things to say about Erica Kirk, but there was no apology. He said it was just mischaracterized. You know what, I'll tell you. Charlie's producer wasn't happy about this. Andrew, Andrew Colvert, came out and said yes.
Starting point is 00:28:43 Jimmy got emotional. So what? He's emotional for himself because he almost torched his entire career. You know what, Andrew? I'm going to go further. I think he did torch his career. I think he's coming up on his contract and they're not going to continue him because guess what? The ratings aren't there. Maybe he got a bump for one night. People are saying, oh, everybody watches this on YouTube and he did get a bump from one night. I have friends that watched it last night just to see what he would say. I watched it on YouTube to see what he would say. But you know what? I'm not watching again. My friends aren't watching again. Nobody's watching again because we were disgusted by the non-apology. So sure, he's crying his eyes out because he almost
Starting point is 00:29:22 lost his multi-million dollar contract, but I'll tell you, he is going to lose it. Maybe. Maybe if he's good enough, he could come over here and try and compete on YouTube, but you know why, he's not good enough. I don't think that would work. I really don't. In a live show, he claims he's live. I think he tapes it in the afternoon. That's what you call Asla. Anyway, Kimmel is an unrepented liar who tried to blame Charlie's assassination on the part of the country that just spent the last two weeks praying and holding vigils. What he's really saying is that he thinks it's fair a game to slander conservatives. He would rather advance his own political and cultural agenda than confront the truth. The truth is that his own side has been fanning the flames of political assassination for years.
Starting point is 00:30:05 The truth is that someone on the left picked up a gun and murdered someone because they didn't think that Charlie had the right to advocate for peaceful debate. And then he got up there and refused to apologize. I'll tell you, nobody's taking it. I'm not taking it. Andrew's not taking it. Rob Schneider's not taking it. He wrote a letter.
Starting point is 00:30:38 put this out on Twitter, he said, you know, you lied again. You lied again. You were not making light of Mr. Kirk's death. The suspension you justly received last week was falsely accusing MAGA and Republicans one of their own. Yeah, that's what just said, Jimmy, for the murder of our friend Charlie Kirk when, in fact, it was just another in the long line of murderous, leftist lunatics, okay, who killed Charlie? The left rhetoric is getting dangerous. I told you guys, You know, Charlie, as far back as 2018, told me live on the air. And I was one of the first people to put them on. I mean, some 10 years ago, the whole thing is so surreal.
Starting point is 00:31:18 I mean, I still can't even totally believe it. But he was telling me back in 18, it was getting scary. It was getting bad. The left, because of this Antifa movement, was getting more and more disturbed and more and more dangerous. And look, I mean, after his death, did we see riots in the streets? No, we had vigils. We had prayer. We had people holding hands. Did you see the video of Liberty University? They're singing
Starting point is 00:31:42 amazing grace. I mean, it was just beautiful to see, but this is people coming together trying to comfort each other in a time of need, not taking to the streets and lighting things on fire. Thank you very much. But listen, I'm going to tell you this. He's going to get a one-day rating search, but then it's going away because look at the big headline over my shoulder here. He's down 72% in the last 10 years. Nobody's watching him. Nobody cares about him. And when his contract is up, he's going to get dumped because he stinks. I heard you don't like to be grounds for losing a broadcast license. Well, I think when a network is dishonest, certainly if they are dishonest, because they give you
Starting point is 00:32:22 97% bad publicity or whatever it is, some ridiculous number. Yeah, I would say that would be grounds. And you know what else? Iger's in trouble. Bob Iger, because you can't sit there, Jimmy, and play. the victim all day long. I mean, maybe it's popular with Rachel Maddow. Again, your final destination being MSNBC. Maybe it works there, but it doesn't work with the rest of the country. Because while you cry your eyes out and say, I'm the victim and they're cutting down on my free speech. Free speech,
Starting point is 00:32:55 which, you know, technically speaking, you don't fully, totally, let's just be clear on this. You have to be even-handed when you're in broadcast. I've explained this to you guys all week, right? I worked in broadcast. I've worked in cable. Now I work over here. There are different rules. When you're on broadcast, television, and this goes all the way back to the 1933 or 34 Communications Act, you have a responsibility to your community. So you can't just say things like, oh, this was a MAGA kid and think it's funny and make a joke like that. That's not being responsible to your community, the local communities, which you are there to serve on broadcast airwaves. Now, cable, you don't have that commitment. So again, Greg Gutfeld can say whatever he wants, and he's not going to be held to the same
Starting point is 00:33:37 standard as one of the late night comedians or say the host of The View, which actually comes under the ABC News Department, whole of this situation. By the way, those ladies should be really frightened for their jobs. But this is the reality of where we are. Okay, so it's a different set of rules. You can't have a situation where what, for three whole years, you don't bother to put on a single conservative? You have become an arm in the Democrat Party. And that's not what you're there to be. You can go do it on cable. You can go do it. do it on streaming, but you can't do it on network TV. Here's a conservative, Peter Majer, talking on CNN and getting all kinds of pushback, of course,
Starting point is 00:34:16 on CNN, but pointing out exactly what I'm saying. In other words, Jimmy can still do his show. He gets to live literally another day. And whether he gets fired from ABC and has to do a podcast, God forbid, trust me, it's better, but I'm not sure his would be very good. Or whether he goes to MSNBC, he has that opportunity, something Charlie does not. Nobody's silenced. We're not hearing.
Starting point is 00:34:38 Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air. You have universities afraid to speak their minds. By a private company. You have research being completely defunded. We talk about the blue and the red division. Every single one of the reasons why the FCC has a role is because these are broadcast stations with a monopoly that was granted by the government. Do you feel good about it?
Starting point is 00:34:57 No. Do you feel about me? I would hate it if the federal government came in and said, you may not say that. The reason why Jimmy Kimmel got himself into the first place is he was repeating a lie, believed by one and three Democrats that the person who assassinated Charlie Kirk had a right of center beliefs. He did not say that. We can parse his verbiage all day long. If he comes out and says, listen, that was not what I was trying to say. Thank you. Fantastic. I appreciate that, Mr. Kimball. The problem is that is believed. And we have spent way more time treating Jimmy Kimmel as a victim
Starting point is 00:35:26 than the person who was shot and killed in front of their wife and children. Let me ask you a question. If Joe Biden took down a prominent right-wing personality on TV, for what he or she said. Would you endorse that? You're hypothetical if the Biden administration went and jaw-boned, let's say, social media platforms. I'm talking about a similar allegory of someone on TV right now. Hundreds of conservatives? Will you answer my question? No, that is literally what the administration that you served did.
Starting point is 00:35:52 Google just released all of the components. A broadcast TV host taken down for words that they say or intimidated on, I will not approve your merger as a result. In the history of the FCC, they have done that plenty of times on the right? Was the FCC chair saying we're going to do this the easy way or the hard way like a mobster? Your administration. Were they? Deplatformed and kicked off of social media.
Starting point is 00:36:10 You want to talk about actually silencing, having any single public outlet that you have? I know. I lived it. To broadcast something, right? Jimmy Kimmel could go on MSNBC tomorrow. He's going back on ABC tonight. This man has not been silenced. No.
Starting point is 00:36:25 Charlie Kirst been silenced because he's dead. I think about that. Look, I live through it. I was silenced. I'm so happy to be here now. I'm not going to be silenced. I'm just going to keep talking and talking and talking and I have a bad habit of saying exactly what I think regardless. Well, I'm sensitive. Let me be clear on that. I may say exactly what I think,
Starting point is 00:36:48 but I actually have a ton of empathy for people, which clearly Jimmy does not. Like clearly does not. And I'll tell you, Bob Eager, he's going to lose his job, I think, over this. I mean, look at what a mess the company is. The stock price is a disaster. It went from like 123 to around 113. And it's lost so much, well, the stock market's like doubled in the last five years. So it's like dead money. Like seriously, dead money. You're losing money because of inflation. You're losing money because you could have just invested in the S&P instead of Disney.
Starting point is 00:37:19 Investors are mad. Like there are shareholder lawsuits. There are parents that are mad about the ridiculous movies they keep putting out. There are bad movies and that they can come home with only sequels. They're losing money. Think about Snow White, the disaster that was. And now you've got Disney. actually in the middle of this NFL ESPN deal, which I think could go pretty darn sideways.
Starting point is 00:37:43 And if Bob loses that, hey, hey, hey, Bob and Jimmy, but bad both of you. Okay, Bob Hager, I've said this before. You know, you're getting a little too old for the job anyway. I'm not an agist, but really and truly, you've got two young kids, you've got a beautiful wife, go spend some time with them, worry about Disney less because you're not doing a good job. You never should have had an environment where everybody thinks they talk about diversity all the time. DEI, DEI, DEI, they don't have any diversity of thought over there. Everybody thinks exactly the same, unless you have 200 producers that think it's perfectly
Starting point is 00:38:13 fine for Jimmy Kimmel to say what he said. And they have producers that think it's perfectly fine for him to go on air and not actually apologize. Wow. Okay, that's no diversity, which tells me it's bad management, terrible management, which means the CEO, the buck stops with you and your company's suffering and your stock price is suffering and you should go. You know who else knows this? Michael Eisner, he's the former CEO of Disney. He's like, okay, see you later, buddy. I mean, come on. And it's from the opposite side. I mean, that's what's fascinating about this. Like, the right is mad, obviously, because of the Charlie Kirk comments. And the left is mad because they're like, wait, why would you pull Jimmy? And so Michael
Starting point is 00:38:58 Eisner's like, yeah, you douche. Like, you just suck. Like, you can't do that. You can't do that. the job, I'm sorry. I shouldn't say those words. But Iger was the same guy who pulled all the advertising money off of X once Elon Musk bought it. Remember that? So we don't need to feel too bad for Bob Iger with his zillions of dollars there in L.A. There's a lot of other things he could and should be doing right now, but running Disney is not one of them. Nelson Peltz tried to tell him Nelson Peltz who came in and tried to orchestrate some kind of takeover, hostile takeover, of Disney and Bob wouldn't have it. So now he's got Brandon Carr to deal with. And Brandon Carr, you know, he said some pretty aggressive stuff. Very, very aggressive stuff. So now the left's like,
Starting point is 00:39:49 oh, you folded, you folded. So now there's a boycott from the left. I talked to somebody this morning who told me, can you believe this? I just got a request or a notice, she said, from her Disney Hulu subscription saying they were going up, she thought it was $99. they're increasing the price at a time like this. And she's like, I'm really mad at them because I think he folded. He shouldn't have taken Kimmel off the air. You know, other people are mad because Kimmel shouldn't have said what Kimmel said. So you're going to raise prices right now?
Starting point is 00:40:21 Not smart, not good business. Everybody's mad from Michael Eisner to John Oliver to the FCC head. It's looking bad. Really bad. Good to see you, Gary, back here. Gary's metal detecting, offering a point of view as well. It's good to see. We have so many regulars here on the show, and I appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:40:42 I'm just trying to pull this up. When you see me looking over to the side, it's because this is live, baby, this is live, and I'm bringing up the elements, and I'm bringing up your comments all in real time. Don, back, good to see you here again. Don will be very happy. We got lots of likes. Let's get it to 3,000. Can we get it to 3,000?
Starting point is 00:40:56 I feel like an auctioneer. Gary Melo detection is saying, you know, basically, I think you're commenting, if I interpret this correctly, Gary, on how stupid Jimmy Kimmel is, and he is really stupid, unless, of course, you're a little delayed in the broadcast, and you're talking about how stupid James Comey and one Letitia James are, and that for sure is the truth, absolutely the truth. Look, they need a new CEO. You're not going to get Michael Eisner back. You're not going to get Bob Chaput back. I don't think Dana Walden can possibly do this because she's part of the problem, right? She's part of the problem. She's one of the ones dealing with this. And now they really
Starting point is 00:41:34 are looking at the possibility of losing their FCC licenses because they've been so out of whack. If I were them, here's what I would do. I would start switching up my producers. I'd start switching up my talent. I'd start making sure that I had a variety of viewpoints on something like the view. I'd make sure I had a variety of guests on something like Jimmy Kimmel Live. And I would make sure my news division knew what end was up, shall we say, so that they were going right down the middle of the road like they used to back in the old days pre-2015.
Starting point is 00:42:04 After 2015, it was suddenly like everybody had a license to just go after Trump. TDS on steroids. I mean, heck, yeah, the former FBI head leading the whole thing apparently. James Comey, those are the accusations. This is what he's going to be indicted for. And it's coming momentarily. Wow, okay? Wow.
Starting point is 00:42:27 Again, I just, I'm blown away by this. One single right-leaning guest in three years. Way to go, Jimmy. Way to go Disney. It's all coming back to bite you in Fannie's. You know what. Okay. Quick shout out. If you're ever interested in investing in Disney, I think my short answer would be no. But we did write a piece on it. The only thing they got going for it is the cruise business. And even that, I'm going to tell you, in recent months, recent years, has actually stumbled a lot too. But we got lots of great
Starting point is 00:42:56 investment ideas for you that have done extraordinarily well. I encourage you to go over to 76 research. My company, 76research.com. That's my financial. know, I have a background in finance. Some of you know that. Some of you don't, but it was always a business reporter until somehow politics started bleeding into business, because, what do you know? We have a business, a business person as I want to say the CEO of the country.
Starting point is 00:43:19 It's like I just can't help, right? But as our executive, our chief executive. So take a look at 76 research. Use code word dollar, my gift to you, D-O-L-L-A-R. We want to give also a shout-out to our wonderful sponsors over a balance of nature. You know, you get 35% off. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:43:38 I don't know how many real commercials like I did in TV. I mean, we have these commercials, which are wonderful.

So bear with me. Balance of Nature, 35% off with Code Trish.

Starting point is 00:44:10 They actually like freeze dry this stuff. And it means, for me anyway, with fruits and veggies, I'm actually getting fruits and veggies. And isn't that kind of incredible? I'm a really good eater of broccoli. I even like Brussels sprouts. But I don't know why. I've never really liked fruit. It's a strange thing.
Starting point is 00:44:29 And I need it. I need it because it's important for vitamin D. So the great thing about Balance of Nature is I can get all those fruits and veggies. And I appreciate all of their support. I encourage you guys to go check it out, 35% off plus free shipping plus tons of testimonials on their website. Go look at it.

Starting point is 00:44:53 Money back guarantee, balance in nature.com. Use code word Trish. You know, as we think about everything that's going on right now in this cancel culture that's on steroids, There's something else I wanted to tell you about today because I have a lot of friends who ran into this. I mean, you look at what's going on, right, with the left freaking out about James Comey. Oh my gosh, this is payback. This is payback. He's going to do this because James Comey went after him.
Starting point is 00:45:16 Well, you know, there are a lot of people, believe it or not. Well, you probably would believe it. They actually couldn't even get bank accounts. Like, this is just anecdotal. And I don't want to, I won't even say the name of the bank, but it's a major, major, major bank. they were like calling me every other month, like asking me all these weird questions. I have never, and I was with this bank going all the way back to 1998. I had never, ever had them calling me asking so many questions.
Starting point is 00:45:50 And you know what's really weird? Ever since Donald Trump came to power it, they stopped calling. coincidence? I don't know. But again, I've had friends that were actually literally debanked. It was a big problem. Under both the Obama and Biden administrations, you had regulators that pressured banks to close accounts for industries and individuals they didn't like. I mean, we've talked to a lot of folks in the crypto industry, right, who went through this. My friend Dinesh D'Souza went through this. I was getting calls all the time. I'm like, why are they so suddenly interested in me? This politically motivated, that's what it's called, politically motivated debanking really did trample on all of our free. as Americans, right? It trampled out American businesses, freedoms, citizens' freedoms,
Starting point is 00:46:32 and put the government in the business of punishing people perhaps that they didn't like. I mean, it was wrong. Thankfully, President Trump is trying to fix it. He's taking decisive action. As we speak to stop it, his executive order calls out regulators who abused their power. And believe me, it feels like a lot of them did that. And he's going to make sure that you can't be debanked just because you don't agree with someone. Lasting reform, however, it does require a lot of work. a lot of work. It requires an act of Congress, and so we need Americans to stand up for this. And this is why Americans for Free Markets is thanking President Trump for standing up for free markets,
Starting point is 00:47:08 for freedom, and urging Congress to follow his lead. Together, we can all establish a National Fair Access standard to prevent services from being denied based on political, social, or religious views. It's going to bring clarity, it's going to bring consistency, and long overdue accountability. Imagine that. Two, financial regulation. You know what? You can help. You can help.
Starting point is 00:47:31 I want to put it on the screen. You can go to 4FreeMarkets.com. Capital F-O-R. Well, it could be lowercase as well. Four free markets. I know you're four-free markets. Go there. For-freemarkets.com.
Starting point is 00:47:44 We talk a lot now about the increasing amount of violence that we're seeing on the left. And some of you may have seen a study that came out recently by UGov, which showed that younger Americans, especially those on the left, were perfectly fine with this increase in violence. And there's this sense out there that somehow you can use violence to get something accomplished. It's pretty horrifying to most of us and frankly to most of America. But, you know, when you have commentators in the news business saying what they've said, When you have publications like this one, which, believe it or not, is actually relatively popular, it's something called Jezebel, which I know you've never heard of. It's like the liberal, female equivalent to Gawker.
Starting point is 00:48:31 I think actually it was owned by Gawker. They published an article just days before Charlie was assassinated saying that they had hired witches. Well, let me go to the article. They have sense put up an editor's note. They have sense. I believe they may have taken it down. We paid some witches, Etsy witches, to curse Charlie Kirk. And they went on to say, if the far-right misogynist with a bad haircut,
Starting point is 00:49:07 wants to villainize independent women, Jezeabel is more than happy to be the hag of his nightmares. And so this particular, quote, journalist went on to say that she had paid here at Jezebel. We're about to find out if there's a spell for that. Now it's, is it ethical to curse a man I've never met, probably not, she writes, but is it unethical to let him keep talking? Yes. So here we are in the gray area to ruin his day with the collective feminist power of the Etsy witches, it would be my life's greatest joy. Now, they did place an editor's note
Starting point is 00:49:54 because I guess somebody realized that was sort of insensitive after Charlie Kirk was assassinated. So they amended the article. Here it is, a Wall Street Journal piece on it, saying the feminist website, Jezebel, feminist, my, you know what. My fannies, you know what.
Starting point is 00:50:14 Don't call yourself feminist, please. They so destroyed that word, really. Jezebel said it condemned the shooting of Charlie Kirk two days after running a story with the headline, we paid some Etsy witches to curse Charlie Kirk. Now, there are reports out. There are reports out that Erica was quite disturbed by this. Quite disturbed by this. If you'll note, the New York Times had a story.
Starting point is 00:50:51 Apparently, she and Charlie had a meeting with a spiritual leader the night before he flew to Utah, and she was urging him to wear a bulletproof vest. The spiritual leader wanted him to be behind glass, a bulletproof glass. And Charlie said to them, no, not yet, because he still wanted to be a man of the people. But I think what Erica was tuning into was not the insanity of the hexes and this, that, and the other, but rather that there was this underworld of hate and violence that her husband was at risk of being on the receiving end of. And indeed he was. Just days after his assassination, we saw this study from UGov.
Starting point is 00:51:43 Most Americans say it's unacceptable to be happy about public figures deaths, but younger and more liberal Americans are calling it acceptable. Wow. I mean, look at that. Can you guys see this? Can I make it bigger for you? You see this, I'm going to make it really big. Look at that.
Starting point is 00:52:02 Political ideology, very liberal. 24% say it's okay. A quarter? nearly a quarter of Americans, if you're very liberal, a quarter of very liberal Americans say violence is okay. Regular liberals say 10% moderate, 7%. Conservatives, I can't even see the number, very conservative, 7%. I mean, it should never be okay.
Starting point is 00:52:32 I don't care what your political party is. Never, ever, ever be okay. And then when you break it down by age, 18 to 44 year olds, 22% of them, say it's okay, what the heck is going on? What the heck is going on? Maybe we're becoming desensitized. Maybe it's the media. Maybe it's articles like that Jezebel, which should be put out of business because it's
Starting point is 00:52:54 a gross, gross publication to begin with and writes crap like that. I'm sorry, you know, I don't talk like that. But this is a moment to say that was crap. And whoever decided to publish that should go the way of a... Well, I would say Jimmy Kimmel, but apparently he's back on air for now. Bye-bye. Like, you know, go publish that on your little blog somewhere that nobody reads. You don't say stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:53:24 I mean, come on, we're losing all human decency. And clearly this kid had no human decency. Source is telling me that Lance Twiggs is still a person of interest. We have learned that Lance Twiggs has moved out of that apartment building in Utah that was owned. by his family. He's allegedly cooperating with authorities, but again, I want to remind you that my sources tell me and I got good sources that he's not out of the woods yet. They got 20 plus suspects that they're looking at, and believe me, they're going to find him. Because this is personal now. They'll find them anyway, as they should. But it is pretty personal because Charlie Kirk was a friend
Starting point is 00:54:01 to all of us, including people that he'd never met. I can't tell you how many people have come to me and said, I felt like Charlie was my friend. I mean, in my case, he was. I knew him. I was one of the first to put him on TV. I thought he was amazing. I thought he was great. I couldn't believe what he was building
Starting point is 00:54:24 and all the stars that he was creating. I mean, Annapalina Luna owes a lot of her career to won Charlie Kirk. And he touched the hearts and lives and minds of so many Americans, and I don't think people had any idea what a big, big deal he really was. And so to think that Jezebel was saying that, or you may have had an undercurrent in these discord chat rooms, et cetera,
Starting point is 00:54:53 that wanted to hurt him. His wife was aware, he was aware. Again, going back to 2018, when he told me, it's getting violent, it's getting scary, it's getting bad, and yet he still went out there to do the work he did. Thank you, Charlie. Thank you for that. and everything that you accomplished at such a young age.
Starting point is 00:55:14 Because the country's forever changed because of you. And things will still happen. Believe me, they still will. Despite the fact that we got idiots like this on television. Oh, not TV. She got fired. She got fired, right? Oh, I was going to tell you about Texas.
Starting point is 00:55:30 We'll get to that in a minute. But we've got Joy Reid, who's just, I'm sorry. not good on television and not very smart, which is one of the reasons why she did get fired from MSNBC. I mean, they couldn't have that kind of vitrile. Not when they're trying to, you know, also have an FCC-run network. What do you think the Versant deal is all about getting Comcast and NBC is far away from MSNBC as they possibly can?
Starting point is 00:56:03 I mean, they already got rid of joy, but they got more work to do. So now she's not on TV anymore. She's out doing some podcasts that I've never heard of. I doubt doing as well as we are here on YouTube. Remember to subscribe, share a like. And she's going on with Don Lemon, another not so swift individual to talk about how she thinks J.D. Vance is like the dumbest of the dumb. And that Amy Coney-Barratt, Supreme Court Justice, is the dumbest of the dumb.
Starting point is 00:56:35 And I guess she's got a few others along the way. Let's listen in. As smart as I know my ass is, Katanji Brown is smarter. Smartest person I've ever met in my life. You smart? I'm smart. That lady is smart on a level I've never seen before. And her three roommates were even smarter.
Starting point is 00:56:52 These girls were so smart that we were shocked that we'd ever met anybody that intelligent. And Amy Coney-Barrid on the other hand is a Supreme Court justice just like Katanji, even though her qualifications are minuscule compared to Katanji's. Maybe that's the affirmative action we've been getting. White people who are essentially mediocre in scale compared to a black person getting the spot because they wanted a conservative. Maybe the way that J.D. Vance got into Yale is because they were tired of just letting in white men from New York, from all the elite schools, and they wanted an Appalachian white. That's how that man got into Yale, I promise you. Same thing with Ron DeSantis, from a small town in Florida.
Starting point is 00:57:29 They wanted to just get out of the New York, D.C. Matrix, Massachusetts Matrix, and let somebody into Harvard and Yale. who came from a different place. He came from Florida. Baby, that's also affirmative action in DEI. So before y'all start going crazy about DEI, just meaning they let black people in just on the basis of being black, think a little more critically, and think about the fact that it's also disabled people, military veterans, people who come from Appalachia, white folks who come from Alaska in different places that they don't normally come from, indigenous people, Latinos, Asians, and the last thing I'll say about this, for all the y'all people on Fox that are going to clip this because y'all mad about affirmative action, because yes, I embrace affirmative action.
Starting point is 00:58:05 because I belonged at Harvard and I was smarter than all the legacies I went to school with. We only were there because they were rich and their parents had a name on one of the buildings and they didn't go to class and I did. So I'm just going to let y'all know that we see affirmative action as these schools searching for people they wouldn't have ordinarily found without deliberately looking for us. They would have just let the same mediocre white men from rich families in. But instead they let me in and because of that, you now have the ability to attack me right wingers. You have the ability to know who I am when I don't know who most of y'all are. But you know me because affirmative action brought me your way. Tell a little thank you.
Starting point is 00:58:44 Be grateful for all that God has given you. God knows what God is doing. She a smart, smart lady. Okay. Here's J.D.'s come back. I'm like, Jadie, did you really do that? Because if he did, gosh, he's funny or did someone on his team, I don't know, but that was pretty funny. That was his comeback. Brilliant. Brilliant. J.D., you've got to have a sense of humor in this world, right?
Starting point is 00:59:13 Well, let's face it. You know, she's there no longer on TV, no longer on TV. Why? Because she couldn't actually get a rating and because she just insulted people all the time. And because she actually told people that they should break up with their families at Christmas and Thanksgiving because you can't be all kiki, I think was the direct quote. with your family if they voted for Trump. So that's not exactly what we would call
Starting point is 00:59:40 a positive influence on society. Now is it? You know, Amy Coney Barrett, why did she take down Cotanji? Remember that one? She was like basically the principal dissent focuses on conventional legal terrain. Justice Jackson, however, chooses a startling line of attack
Starting point is 00:59:57 that is tethered neither to these sources nor frankly to any doctrine whatsoever. In other words, she's saying, Katanji's kind of a moron who doesn't actually write anything with supporting evidence in the law. She just throws out a whole bunch of emotion in her telling the fundamental role of the courts is to order everyone, including the executive to follow the law, full stop. She offers a vision of the judicial role that would make it even most ardent defender of judicial supremacy blush. We will not dwell on Justin Jackson's argument, which is at odds with more than two centuries worth of precedent, not to mention the
Starting point is 01:00:34 Constitution itself, we observe only this. Justice Jackson decries an imperial executive while embracing an imperial judiciary. I mean, it was great, right? And even Sonia Sotomayor kind of chimed in because at least she had like a decent argument. But now, Katanji, she didn't. I'm sorry. I mean, I don't know why she's there exactly. Somebody liked her. Didn't Biden say he was going to put in a black woman, period, that's all he cared about, just a black woman. White men need not apply. Isn't that like unconstitutional, right? Like, isn't that actually discrimination?
Starting point is 01:01:14 White men need not apply? White women need not apply? And this woman, yeah, she loves her DEI. She's all about DEI, which is going, bye-bye. No more at Harvard, Princeton, Yale, any of those places. You actually have to get in. You actually have to have good grades. You actually have to have SAT scores.
Starting point is 01:01:36 Imagine that. As many times as I have been called DEI or an affirmative action baby and all that, you know what I never get mad? Because I actually am very much in favor of DEI. I don't take that as an insult because I understand that that means that I'm just damn excellent and innovative. And yeah, I am DEI. I'm bringing diversity and that's bringing something great. You're not insulting me.
Starting point is 01:01:59 If you say, oh, you're an affirmative action person that got in Harvard. And I'm like, yeah, I got into Harvard with affirmative action and Yale and Brown and also, you know, Vassar, you know, in the University of Denver. Wouldn't you rather have gotten in there because you're smart? I mean, I'm just asking the question, Joy, wouldn't you have rather gotten in there on your own merit? Because you deserved it? I mean, a real meritocracy. That's what it is. We can't fix things after the fact, guys.
Starting point is 01:02:35 I mean, I love it. Some of you may have heard this story before, but it's fascinating to me. So they still have a system. You know, I have a classical music background. I studied opera for a number of years, and occasionally you get to hear me sing. And, you know, I mean, the news is pretty operatic, right? So, you know, I kind of, I followed my calling after all. But anyway, I have a background in music, so I know these quirky things.
Starting point is 01:02:59 and they still hold orchestral auditions for the New York Philharmonic or for the Boston Symphony or for Philadelphia or any LA symphony. All of these orchestral auditions are held behind a screen where you have no idea who is playing the violin or the flute or anything else. You don't know their gender. You don't know whether they're white, black, Asian. you don't know anything about them. You only listen to see how beautifully they can play that instrument.
Starting point is 01:03:35 Because you see when you're playing in an orchestra, everybody has to play together. And the orchestra actually has to be in tune and sound great and magnificent and all those things. So if you can't really play your instrument at a level that would be something that the New York Philharmonic would expect, then you shouldn't be the New York Philharmonic. Now should you?
Starting point is 01:03:56 But you know what the latest call is? they're flipping out saying, no, no, no, we can't have this because we don't have enough black musicians in the New York Philharmonic. To which I say, hey, you know what? You can't just suddenly pick up the violin when you're 20 or even 15 or even 10, okay? The violinists that wind up making it to the New York Philharmonic guess what. They start when they're like three or four years old and they practice four, five, six hours a day. It's a hard instrument to get really, really good at.
Starting point is 01:04:27 Same thing with any of these instrumentalists that are in these orchestras. I mean, it takes a lot of dedication from a very early age. So you can't come in with a DEI mandate after the fact and say, we're going to make the New York Philharmonic great. By getting rid of standards, we don't care if they play in tune or not. Oh, they just have the right skin color. That's not going to work. Because then what's your orchestra going to sound like?
Starting point is 01:04:54 Isn't it more fair to actually have it behind a screen so you don't No, the sex, the age, the skin color of the individual, seems like it makes sense to me, but not for these DEI people, right? No, they have a whole other mandate going on. They don't care how bad the New York Philharmonic sounds, I guarantee you, she probably can't hear whether or not it's actually in tune. Anyway, it's like my curse. I have like perfect pitch.
Starting point is 01:05:25 Sometimes it's difficult. when I hear things that are out of tune, it's very hard on me. But, you know, I have a lot of years of training, a lot of years of training. And my expectation is if I spend $200 on a ticket to go here the New York Phil, they better be playing in tune. I don't care what anybody looks like that's up there on stage. They better be in tune. So this is where we're going with all this stuff.
Starting point is 01:05:49 And it's stupid. I love how J.D. took her down. But just be aware. It's out there. This is who they are. are not going to give up on it. Reminder, 76 research. We started in part because of the DEI insanity that was actually infecting Wall Street. E-S-G-D-E-I. Hey, you know what? I'm just, I'm pretty simple. I'm just a simple girl from New Hampshire. And you know what? If they got good earnings and they seem like
Starting point is 01:06:12 they're on a good trajectory, that's the kind of company I like. 76research.com use code word dollar. Just finally, you know, this is very sad note. The shooting at Dallas Ice Facility leaves two dead, one injured, just horrible, horrible stuff. We'll have more to bring you on that tomorrow. You know, we hate to have to talk about this stuff, but I'll tell you, this is the world in which we now live where violence is becoming, unfortunately, too common. And it's got to change. And I'm not entirely sure how we change it yet, but Charlie was out there trying to. A little more respect for one another, a little more God in our lives, a little more justice, a little bit more law and order. We'll get there.
Starting point is 01:07:03 We'll get there. Thank you for being here, all of you.
