Tangers could be coming. All I can do is wait and see what he does, and that will inform what I do. I think she's getting a little nervous, and I think I have a little bit of proof. Understandably why, because you know what, Donald Trump has all the support of the people, and Elon Musk could be moving in on ABC. And what we're seeing here is Donald Trump's presidential transition is getting a thumbs up, and dare I say, two thumbs up from the American people. Two thumbs up, two thumbs up, you guys. And Elon, Elon is taking on a bigger and bigger presence over on, I nearly said MSNBC. I was going to say X, but there are some rumblings. It may not just be MSNBC that he could be interested in, but ABC as well. Look, they don't like it, even on CNN.

The forms are not regulated right now, which gives them carbolite shoe, whatever they want right now. Elon is not someone. who likes to be regulated. No, he's not someone who likes to be regulated. And he also is somebody who doesn't like when you have the federal government clamping down on speech. I don't think any of us like that. And that's exactly what we dealt with for years. Deep state preventing people like me, Trish Regan from being out here saying what I believe and what I think. So Elon didn't like it. He bought X for $42 billion. Thank you very much. And now he's kind of circling the wagons looking at these ladies over there on the view.

You got to go to type of school. Because nobody can figure out what's being said here right now. Everybody's like, can't he just buy Disney? Maybe not Disney. Maybe Disney's not the answer. Maybe you just want a broadcast network. I mean, think about it. MSNBC's entertaining.

For sure, you get all those cable assets, but you get weighed down a little bit with those cable assets. I'm not saying he shouldn't do it. He should, if nothing else, than to see what would happen, mind you. But there may be some opportunity, if you would, with ABC. ABC does present kind of an interesting choice because I'm not sure what the valuation would be, but you would get the broadcast network. And there's some value in the broadcast network.

I mean, think about it. Cable doesn't quite have as much value because, guess what? all the cable companies have deals with the cable companies. So the cable news networks and entertainment networks are paid a certain amount of money by all these cable subscribers and cable companies. And because of those deals, you don't get to do things like I'm doing right here. You can't stream. You're not allowed to. And as a result of that, you may not have as much flexibility with the business. Notice that Comcast, NBC wants to keep its broadcast unit and wants to spin off all the cable units. There's a reason for that. It wants

to keep Peacock its streaming network. It wants to keep its broadcast network because it can spin off everything else, keep it away from the main company and keep the businesses that might have some value. I mean, if you think they have value, that's a big F, right? But you can almost feel the temperature going up over on the view these days. I think I have a soundbite from today, in fact. And it seems as though Whoopi Goldberg is now being very fearful of what exactly to say. She's kind of keeping quiet for a little bit, getting

a little bit ornery on set. It's like catfight after catfight, but here watch her today. But when the exit polls were taken, the 92% of black women that voted for the vice president said that the number one issue for them was January

6 and the fall of democracy. So there were some voters that felt that that was very, very And if I could respond, because I do think that's a valid point. Donald Trump was never on message. This election, we talked about it constantly. But he's still won because he had ads that were on message, that were being blast all over TV. So people were still hearing it.

Here's how he's going to bring down the cost of the league. Here's what he's going to do for you. So we're all thinking like, oh, he's talking about cats and dogs and crazy stuff. But a lot of voters who aren't tuning into the day-to-day news are seeing these targeted ads that are reaching them where they are. Fear-mongering ads about trans people. A lot of the majority of his were about the apartment. A lot of scapegoating, and every autocrat or throughout history has found a scapegoat, and that's what he did. Autocrat? Think about that, guys. He's now an autocrat, according to the ladies on the view. Let's continue.

Yeah, I mean, there's no way around that. That is true. That is true, says Whoopi. And then she catches herself. It's as though there's a producer in her ear saying, guess what? Careful, careful Bob Eager might be listening, the CEO of Disney. And gosh darn it. Elon, goodbye. ABC. I don't have anything to say about it. You know, I'm because I, I'm not going to go back and say, oh, we should have, they should, if you should, it would have could have.

It didn't happen. Yeah. What I'm waiting for now is I want to see all this heat around, oh, you want to talk about the police. It's like she got the producer note. She's like, I got to wait and see. I got to wait and see. After she just agreed with the autocrine.

comment saying that's for sure, right? Who are policing. Because y'all never talked about that before. You didn't mention that. You kept saying, oh, this person marched here, or this person did this, there was a lot of, there was a lot of Hazzari about a lot of stuff that really didn't have anything to do with what I was interested in. I voted for everyone else because I thought we all wanted peace for our brothers and sisters in this joint.

So, you know, other people didn't vote for that. So now all I can do is wait and see what he does, and that will inform what I do. But I know, Eddie. Okay. So, you know, this is a woman who clearly is very worried. If you ask me about her job, I mean, this is why she's, you know, she goes in,

and then she retreats and says, okay, we're going to wait, we got to wait and see. Same exact thing actually happened in yesterday's show where she got after one of her colleagues saying, hey, no, wait a second, you're going to wait and see. It's as though somebody somewhere told her. I think what we're all saying is we're going to sit and watch. We're going to wait and see because we can't do anything else except. I'm not going to wait and see. I mean, this guy's told us he's a retribution.

What are you doing? There's nothing to be done until you want. until you know what you're fighting. It's, it's, pissing in the wind doesn't help. You just get a wet face. But I mean, but I have no false expectations

that at 78 he's going to all of a sudden turn. No one does. And I'm not going to be treating everything like a fire makes people tune out. I spent weeks telling people that he was apocalyptic.

I'm not going to change now. No. It's not changing. They're not treating every single thing. I think that's when we lose credibility. Well, here's the thing. You lose credibility in many,

different ways. If you don't know what you're talking about and you accuse him of something, then they're going to blow it back. That's why I say, we need to wait and see exactly what you're going to do. It's almost as though, guys, she realized that they lost all their credibility. They lost their credibility by saying he was the next, frankly, Hitler. And it turned out that Americans were okay with whatever he was going to be because, well, they'd had four years of him and he hadn't turned out to be back then the next Hitler, so he was actually a proven commodity. And so despite them saying this,

at nage him over and over and over again, Americans voted the other way. And so now she's like, okay, well, let's see what he turns out to be. I do think that some people, some higher-of said ABC News had a little talking to with Whoopi Goldberg. Because, you know, this is how it should be, right? You should be reporting and reflecting on the news itself, not speculating on what he's going to do, as you did for four, gosh, darn it, what was it, eight years?

It was nauseating. Here they are, just the day after the election. I'll tell you what they're doing right now. They're blaming the guy that may just buy them. They are blaming Elon Musk. They are blaming Social Media. They are blaming X. That is now their target.

Can we not let Fox News off the hook, please? I don't understand. And news that's been going out there. You know, one of the things that we need to do, and it's a lot of the things that we need to do, and it's not to abolish the Department of Education. As a former teacher, believe me, he's talking about doing that. You know, kids in, I brought this up before,

I'm going to bring it up again. In Finland, kids in nursery school are learning to discern between fake news and real news. They should be teaching that in this country. Teach children tolerance, teach them to think critically. Well, it would help if we could regulate social media

because one of the biggest defenders is D.C. and Congress have not been able to do one thing in regard to the rogue corporations and social media. I'm not going to get any better with Elon Musk in the administration. Oh, okay? So there we go. Elon Musk is somehow the problem in all this.

Social media is the problem. The problem is that you're allowed to actually look up information, find information yourself, and you're not allowed to do that. No, not in this day and age. They're going to go after X all they can. They're going to go after free speech as much as they can because they want to control the speech. It's partly why I started 76 research, as you know,

76 research.com. We have a free guide right now. Look at it over the holidays. We're going into Thanksgiving. Maybe you have a little bit of downtime. It's called invest in maga.com. You can also go to 76 research.com. Use code word dollar. I mean, we've got Black Friday going on. We need to sail over there too, right? Use code word dollar. You get the subscription for just a dollar a month for the first two months. We've got some names in this guide there at Invest in MAGA. We've got some names in the 76 report. A lot of information. There are model portfolios for all of you that are interested in really doubling down here and investing in the good stuff that is to come. But the reality really and truly is that we have a group of media member elites that are so angry

at the idea, at the premise that somehow Elon Musk could actually have given people a choice in this election that they want to shut him down. And I'll tell you, ABC News may find themselves is the victim of all of this. ABC News could very much be up for sale. We know that Bob Hager wants to sell it. We know that he is considered looking at selling it. It's considered effectively dead weight to him and he wants to be quote unquote expansive in his thinking about how he deals with these low growth businesses or shall we just say no growth businesses. And Elon Musk might have a little bit of a vendetta here. I mean, remember it was Disney after all that shortly after Elon Moss took over Twitter, Disney led the pack by saying they were not going to advertise on Twitter.

And Elon didn't really appreciate that. In fact, he did a conference with Ander Ross Sorkin, CNBC, New York Times, where he sat down and then told the audience, Bob Iger, assumingly, sitting in that audience to go F himself. You know, you remember, right? I mean, are the chickens coming home to Roos, so to speak, right now. In the here and now, if Elon were to look at buying ABC. There's advertisers leaving. We talked to Bob Eagher today.

I hope they stop. You hope? Don't advertise. You don't want them to advertise? No. What do you mean? If somebody's going to try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money, go fuck yourself.

but... Is that clear? I hope it is. Hey, Bob. You're in the audience. Well, let me ask you then... That's how I feel. Andrew's like, okay, and like, let's go back to topic here.

Let me ask you. Elon's like, look, this is how I feel? Go after yourself. Bob Iger, it was specifically directed at Disney's CEO, Bob Iger. Bob Iger, who has said, he would very much like to sell his low-growth businesses. So is this a way of sort of coming full circle? Could he go in by ABC? ABC News. Don't forget ABC News was that network that had David Muir and that other woman that we can't remember, just attacking, attacking, attacking along with Kamala Harris,

Donald Trump in that first debate. I mean, there were people that thought he'll never recover from that debate. The debate wasn't actually about anything. It was just a little attack fest. So luckily, he decided not to do any more debates. I mean, you couldn't actually have any substantive policy conversations. All she wanted to do, Kamala Harris, was attack. That's all she knows how to do. And David Muir and the other anchor piled on both ABC news products along with the view. So sure, he can go buy MSNBC and you know what he should because it would be great, right? It would be great. He's talking about it. You saw the tweets, of course. One of the tweets was, hey, Elon Musk, I had the funniest idea ever. It came from Don Jr. And then he's a lot of the funnyest idea ever.

came from Don Jr. And then he wrote back, how much is it? And that was very reminiscent of the tweet he sent out a few years back saying, hey, how much is it when he was talking about buying Twitter? So everybody's speculating now, could he do it? And you know what? The short answer is, yeah, he absolutely could. And you know what else I'll say?

He could do both. He could actually buy all the cable assets of Comcast, try to refigure and reconfigure those assets to get them to money-making propositions. I know that the internet loves it. Check this out. This is one meme. Elon Musk carrying out the computers out of MSNBC. And then another one saying,

hey, we could rename it to XNBC. And then, of course, there would be this little beauty because he didn't have the opportunity to maybe go out and fire Rachel Maddo, Mika, Joe, et cetera. We could all be fired a year from that. We'll hear when this happens. You never know what's going to happen. No, you never know.

You never know what's going to happen. They were all flipping out back in the day when he bought Twitter. But think about what that meant for our lives. election. You know, I will say this. He puts his money where his mouth is. He has these big ideas, I mean, grand ideas. He was talking about EVs long before anybody was interested in EVs. In fact, now, though, I'll tell you, oh, go get an electric vehicle. And this was sort of his baby, Tesla, obviously. And yet he never gets any credit for it, right? Because, well, he's at odds with this

administration. But we wouldn't have all those EVs if it weren't for Elon Musk, regardless of what you think about EVs, you got to give him some credit, credit where credits do. Then we wouldn't have rockets going to the moon the way they are, looking to colonize Mars if it weren't for Elon Musk. So Elon's got big ideas, and one of the big ideas is to actually give more power to the people because he wants people to have real free speech, a real First Amendment. Here he is talking about this issue. So the solution doesn't grow. Then nothing else matters. You know, profits don't matter if civilization collapses. There's no profit. There's no, you know, we are not, we cannot exist absent civilization.

So sometimes people may say like, well, is this an altruistic thing? I mean, I think it's, for me, it feels altruistic, but even if one is not altruistic, even if one is very self-centered, you have to say, if you simply think long term, you have to be pro-civilization because you cannot exist without civilization. How important from zero to ten in the scale from zero to ten money, you had a richest person in the world. How is important money for you, from zero to ten? Yeah, I mean, it is kind of an altruistic act in that sense,

if you really think about it, spending all that money on Twitter. And Twitter being such a lively place where we can exchange ideas and information and here being a lively place where we can exchange ideas and information. Quick shout out to one of our wonderful sponsors who makes all this happen and lets us exchange all these ideas and information. I just want to tell you all, I've been taking balance of nature for a while. I mean, like, we're going on a year now. I take my fruits and veggies.

For friends of the show, just use code word Trish, 65532, again, up to 15,000 with code word Trish, 1844495, 1115. Obviously, everything going on in the markets right now, everything going on where there's all this perception of angst and concern. That's one reason to like gold. Another reason to like gold is, of course, because of the money printing. And the third reason I would say to like gold is because a lot of countries all over the world are trying to diversify their assets away from U.S. Treasuries. You know, and gold is,

where they tend to go. I guess golden, sometimes a little bit, increasingly so, Bitcoin. We can talk about that another day. But again, up to $15,000 in free silver with American Heart for Gold. Just go to Trish lovesgold.com. I'll tell you, they are worried right now. They are worried at ABC News. They are worried at NBC all the cable entities. NBC News is actually going to be safe. The Today Show is safe. It's MSNBC, Rachel Maddow, Joe and Mika, and oh my goodness, that woman Joy Reid, who should have been fired a long time ago. I predict she actually may be fired before Elon gets there if Elon goes in to buy this thing. But look, I mean, it's for sale effectively. They're spinning off the company. And in that spin-off called Spinko, there will be an

opportunity for somebody to come in and be a suitor here down the road. You could do what's called a hostile takeover, which is effectively what he did there with Twitter. I mean, not necessarily hostile in the end. He just kind of, I mean, I get hostile in the sense that Twitter management and Twitter employees really didn't want it, but what was to happen when you come through with such an amazing offer, $42 billion, which was much more than the company was worth. So as he expands that empire, I'll tell you what he needs to do, he needs more and more content. Sure, we're there live every day, but you want more content, more produced content, you want to grow that. And you want everyone to have some opportunity to partake in that. He has managed to single-handedly almost

turn this whole thing on its head by enabling people to go direct and get their news directly with all kinds of news and all kinds of different viewpoints there. It's why he keeps saying, look, you're the media now. You are the media now. And this is something that, you know what, those in the real, quote-unquote, legacy media really don't like. He's telling people you have the power. You have the power and they don't like that at the view. They are targeting anything that is not sanctioned by the elites right now. That's not official legacy media. They're targeting all of it because it's a threat to one, their livelihoods and two, the establishment and the status quo, which is why they made such a big deal of this the other day over on MSNBC. The Axios guy,

he got some big award, the founder of Axios. I mean, he started an alternative science, just that, you know, they were in line. They were back in the day when it was just a website. You know, it's the podcast that you get to really worry about. Remember, subscribe, share, like, all that good stuff. Here he is. Transparency, maybe a free press, maybe the ability to do your job without worrying to go to jail. Maybe the ability to sit in a war zone and tell people what's actually happening,

so they're not just looking at distortion, matters. It matters profoundly. It's why it's not like we just love getting up at three or four in the morning doing this every single day. Like we do it because we love it. We do it because it matters. The work that we do matters. Everything we do is under fire. Elon Musk sits on Twitter every day or X today saying like, we are the media.

You are the media. My message to Elon Musk is bullshit. You're not the media. You having a blue check. mark, a Twitter handle, in 300 words of cleverness, doesn't make you a reporter? Any more than me looking at your head and seeing that you have a brain and telling you have an awesome set of tools makes me a damn neurosurgeon, right? Like what we do, what journalists do, what you did in Mississippi, what El Jazeera does in the Middle East, you proclaim yourself to be a reporter?

Like that's nonsense. Like being a reporter's hard. really hard. You have to care. You have to do the hard work. You have to skid up every single day and say, I want to get to the closest approximation of the truth without any fear, without any favoritism. You don't do that by popping off on Twitter.

You don't do that by having an opinion. You do it by doing the hard work. So the arrogance here is just extraordinary, truly extraordinary. somehow they're being so self-righteous in this. We're so perfect. We're doing it all correct. You know what? If you actually did have a shred of honesty,

and I'm not picking on him in particular, but the media as a whole, if the media actually had any honesty whatsoever, then guess what? A lot of stuff that just went down over the last however many years wouldn't have gone down. I mean, the media was clearly not honest

in that suddenly you were completely shunned if you dared to question why we were shutting down a country during COVID. You were, you were taken offline if you dared to report on that Hunter Biden laptop that wasn't really supposed to be hunters, but it turned out it was. You weren't allowed to talk about the Wuhan virus being from Wuhan, China. Oh, no, no, this was like no-go territory. I mean, that, frankly, that was shutting down speech. And I lived it every single day. I breathed it. And you know what? I got all the credentials in the world with the CBS News and the

NBC News and the Bloomberg and all this, that and the other background, okay? I've lived it. I've been on that side. I'm over here right now. I'm over here to tell you, you know what? You shouldn't be so self-righteous and you should not be so arrogant as to think that everyday folks don't have an opinion that matters. That in and of itself is everything that's wrong with the legacy media.

And these idiots that are about to get bought by somebody, I'm telling you, it's going to get spun off. There's tax advantages to spinning MSNBC off right now. on comes in a year after the fact, or maybe he comes in right now, both for ABC and the cable assets at NBC. There's no, there's no antitrust issues there either because you're talking broadcasting cable, see I've thought this one through. Anyway, these two idiots, Mika and Joe are just applauding this guy, completely missing the irony of everything, that he is so damn self-centered and so arrogant. They don't understand the joke, and the joke

is them. everything up and down about not only their alternative set of facts but alternative set of facts about what people like you do and i love how you connected reporters in mississippi in the 1960s to reporters fighting for their life to get the story out in the middle east today jim it was very powerful really good very powerful even if they had even if we had to beep you more than we would if he ran a Dave Chappelle concert. I like it. Because Jim's mild manners.

And he preached it, though. The cadence, I mean, I might get him or dame. Well, what? Erogent. Well, arrogant. And you know what? I'm going to show you something else. You know how arrogant they are?

They think they control the news. They set the agenda. They're threatened by the idea that somehow Elon says, hey, guess what, everybody? You're the media now. You have a shot at actually having a voice at the table. That to them is somehow wrong. Listen, I'm telling you, and as somebody who passionately believes in our First Amendment in free speech,

what you need, if they're so called, I don't know, bad speech, what you need is more free speech. How did we shut down the insane narrative of legates to media? We did this through more free speech, through Twitter, through streaming, through podcasts like mine. Here's Mika and Joe a couple of years ago saying, this is so scary because what if he, meaning Donald Trump, were to try and set the agenda by somehow manipulating people with his chatter. And if we're not there to prevent him from speaking, what happens then? Please. The dangerous edges here are that he's trying to undermine the media, trying to make up his own facts. And it could be that while unemployment and the economy worsens, he could have undermined the messaging so much that he can actually control exactly what people think.

That is our job. Yeah. If you look at the issues. She literally said that. Let's go back and play it again. He might actually be able to control what people think and that's our job. Are you kidding me? This is everything that is the problem.

You hear that? Let's listen. Exactly what people think. And that is our job. Okay. I did you have undermined the messaging so much that he can actually control. Exactly what people think. And that is our job.

Yeah, if you look at the issues. And they agree with her. The economy worsens. That is our job. She says, we're going to control what you think. We are the message. And they all sit around and nod and agree. And now Bill Clinton's in on the act.

Yeah, former President Bill Clinton. He's in on the act to say, you know, it's just those stupid people that believe anything that's not actually sanctioned by the likes of MSNBC and others. Here he is speaking on MSNBC. Politics is the only business in which you can prove your authenticity by not knowing anything. You know, and I think that's a problem, and we'll pay for it unless we get over it. But that's the problem for the Democrats, too.

We have to learn to talk to people in ways that they can relate to that explains that. That's why, you know, when I did my best help this time, I don't want to go to. and big rallies and big television things I just wanted to get in the country. Just go out and talk to people. Because I think that we're behind in the sense that a lot of the small town and rural people are now highly sophisticated. Oh, my gosh, the small town rural people are now highly sophisticated. They know how to use Twitter. They know how to use a computer.

They know how to get a podcast. God help us. and how they get their information. And there are zillions of new websites now, all trying to advance their sort of conservative to right-wing radical cause. And a lot of times we're not playing on the same field, and we're not even being heard.

Yeah, this is the post-mortem, right? They're all trying to figure out how the heck they lost that one. I'm just going to tell you guys, you had a lousy candidate, and he had no message. And the only message you kind of kept coming back to was this DEI insanity that we're all so damn sick of. I'm sorry, I don't need it in education. I don't need it on Wall Street. And I don't need it in my life because I believe in a meritocracy.

Look at how many women are there in this cabinet by this administration. We now have a gay treasury secretary. Maybe you didn't even know that. I haven't even reported that because I don't even think it's relevant. The point being, let's put people that are qualified for the jobs in the jobs. Let's start educating people in the right ways about meritocracy as opposed to we're going to give you something because of the color of your skin. It's really disgusting. I'll tell you about a university that's not that way.

I'm calling EDS. Remember TDS? Well, this is EDS. This is because of Elon. Trump derangement syndrome has now become Elon derangement syndrome because they got to blame someone for Trump winning and apparently it's all Elon and that darn free speech is fault. Here they are talking about, well, this is a

quick one. Elon doesn't want to be regulated. Why should he be? Forms are not regulated right now, which gives them carbolite shoe whatever they want right now. Elon is not someone who likes to be regulate. No, no. And you know what? He's taking it even further. He's saying, I don't have to regulate anybody else. You know what? You're in the media now. You need to report what you know. Tell us what you hear. Tell us what you see. And they sure feel intimidated by it. Certainly over at MSNBC, where he might actually buy them. Certainly over at ABC where he may buy them. And certainly over at CNN, or I don't think he's thought about that one yet. Here they are. platforms are not regulated right now, which gives them carbletchew, whatever they want right now.

Elon is not someone who likes to be regulated. And so to buy MSN, he would go under some federal regulations. Who's regulating CNN right now? The FCC. We're not a broadcast. It's cable. I mean, I don't really think cable stations are under the same regulatory structure that's a public air with. That broadcast is.

It's definitely regulated more than the, than Facebook and Twitter. What she's saying is that there's still a litmus test of journalism that you have to pass. You can't come on TV and just make up things and say things. That happens on X. Please don't give me the eyebrow furrow as if you don't know what I'm talking

about. It happens often on X. I can go and say the color is blue and I will be met with so many disrespectful remarks. No one's regulating the inward. No one's regulating. The criticism. No one is regulating how people are treated. How much government? regulation of the First Amendment are you for?

Let me tell you something. If I came on here and I just started calling you all kind of names, do you think the bosses would let me continue to do that? I mean, it happens to me occasionally. I don't know if it doesn't happen for me. And I know that I wouldn't be able to do that. There's a level of professionalism. And what we do here, because we are journalists,

and we adhere to something, at least morally. And there is no moral compass on this thing called. Do you really? Because, you know what? I had to listen to a whole lot of stuff that was pretty damn heinous, if you asked me. In fact, one of the key, key proponents of the, this heinous talk. And by the way, we had to listen to him swear at 6.15 in the morning is one other

one little guy named Joe Scarborough who suddenly is trying to pretend like he's conservative lately. This one gets me. But anyway, just a few weeks before the election, he's out there spouting this stuff. So I'm not trying to figure them out. I'm trying to figure out how we get people out who love democracy, who love freedom, who love the rights of all Americans, how to get them to the voting booth because that's how we save our country. Ooh, we miss the best part. We're going to go really wrong. Where can we meet in the middle? La, la, la. On this question, we're past that. You can't meet. Listen, if they voted for Trump in 16, whatever. They voted for Trump in 20.

They knew exactly what they were doing. If they vote for Donald Trump in 2024 and a said it on my show, I'll say it here. They're knowingly voting for a fascist. They're voting for a racist. They're voting for somebody that wants to put this country 200 years in the back. Okay. And so... So this is the kind of stuff that goes on on cable, but apparently they're all upset about whatever goes on Twitter. I mean, what I'm shocked about is what's going on, over at ABC News and at The View, because there are FCC rules when it comes to broadcast, which would pertain to the View, and ABC News produces the view. Whoopi Goldberg, watch out. I'm telling you, you're done. Joy Behardt, you're done. Like, it's all over, because if you look

at those FCC rules and now we actually have somebody in charge who's going to probably enforce them, one brand and car, you have to give equal time. And I don't think equal time means we're going to give 99.999% bad coverage to one and 99.999% good coverage to the other. I think equal time also means some kind of respect for fairness. They don't believe in fairness. They are up on their high horses thinking cable is the be all end all. And somehow they're just, you know, utterly perfection and peaceful and this and that. and they're not, but hear them on CNN.

Carrie, I want to ask you about this idea of media takeover because after Elon Musk purchased Twitter, changed it into X, there's no doubt that he exercised some power there. So how do you hear this even ingest kind of purchase of a cable network? Good to be with you tonight. Good to be with you as well. Thanks for having me. I think that we should believe everything that is said coming from this administration.

I don't think that we have the luxury to dismiss it as him being, someone who's being funny or someone who is just being himself or that is his brand. X, and you said in some ways, always, I feel like X, I don't know if anyone is on it in any capacity. I don't know if you're on it. You're the only one? You're on it? You all are on it? Okay.

I've actually decided to take a rest of peace because it is not a peaceful place for me. And I know if, in fact, you don't agree with this current administration, most people can say that it's not a peaceful place. I wouldn't be surprised if there was an actual bid made to take on MSNBC, but the fact that it just can't happen in real life. And we just can't. It just can't happen. It just can't happen. It just can't happen.

What do you think you're going to do about it? I mean, the guy's a billionaire. He's the wealthiest man in the world. Something like, what, 350 billion? I mean, he's just insane amounts of money. And if he wants to buy it, guess what? He can. And I don't think you can do too much about it.

The last time he mused about maybe buying something. It's not even realistic in real life. But I do believe that media, everyone sitting here at this table, if you don't agree, we are in for some tough, we're in for some tough years ahead. I do believe that we are not going to be able to be as safe or say what we want to. I don't think free speech is going to be as free. Okay. I'm just going to say, guys, I've had to live through the last however many years.

I mean, I'm proof that free speech didn't really exist, right? I mean, think about, oh, okay, Tishrigan said that, you know, we're overreacting on COVID. I paid a price for that. I mean, happily, happily will always pay the price because I will always defend my view. I will always be honest with my view and I will always give it to you straight. And so fortunately, fortunately, the medium is changing so quickly and it's so vibrant. And there's this huge opportunity for somebody like me over here where there may not have been. previously, and that's the good news, right? That's the good news. But for them to suggest that somehow

now we're going into the thick of it? No, no, no, I've been in the thick of it. And I came out the other side. I've been in the thick of it. I remember shortly after Joe Biden came to the White House, I had shared a story on a social media company, one Facebook, about that laptop, the laptop from hell. Remember that? And I was shut down. I was shut down for an entire year. I was not able to reach my audience. I'm still barely able to reach my audience ever there. We thank YouTube. We thank Twitter. We are happy that there are some places where they're not willing to just completely strangle you, but it's been a rough go. And this lady has no clue. All these people are sitting around wondering how the heck they're ever going to become relevant again. Because

guess what? The world has changed. And it's still changing. And it's changing fast. And it's great and glorious. You grew up in a newsroom like Gene grew up in a newsroom. I mean, that's a lot of challenge. That's a challenge for a lot of mainstream media sources is do they make themselves relevant again to hear 20% of adults who actually get influencers on social media. I don't know how they, maybe somebody who makes baskets. And while they're making baskets, they look up and say vote for candidate acts.

Again, the arrogance. I don't know how we catch up to that. Yeah. So Gene Robinson, do you agree with my? Because you can't catch up to it because you guys are still stuck. Nobody likes you, okay? The arrogance that you have. Your little club watches you maybe on a morning Joe, your little DC insiders.

Nobody else does. They're all watching Rogan or maybe I'm lucky enough to have you over here. Nobody watches these shows anymore. You just look at the ratings. What are they down some 51%? I mean, maybe Elon could change it. Maybe he could help them at MSNBC by having a more diversified news products. Maybe he could help them at ABC, again, through a diversification in their

products, so they're not all spout in the same nonsense over there at the view. But given what we've been through, given the law fair we have been through just for the last four years, I mean, a couple and everything that happened before that, I think the reality is that people are tired of the mainstream media. They don't want it anymore, and rightly so. I don't want it anymore. People say to me all the time, would you be willing to go back? And the short, answer is no, because I could never be hindered by this sort of apparatus from the top down telling me what to do. It's not right. Lots of changes are coming. They need to come. Hey, a quick shout out to our friends are at Heritage. Everybody's a, you know, what's the next step,

right? What can we do? And I love this book. It just came out. Dr. Roberts, he's actually going to be on the show, I think, next week, and he's present in the Heritage Foundation. And I just wanted to give them a quick shout out because I'm reading the book. And it's all about taking back control over Washington, right, to save America. And it's not even like taking back a control of Washington in a big way. It's in a small government way because we want less, less control. But what they have done over the last however many years, and we're talking generations of this, has just been awful. So you can get this right now on Amazon. I encourage you to go check it out. It's called Dawn's Early Light, Taking Back Washington. Look, the American people said it, right?

Did they not? November 5th, they said we want our country back and we want less control from big government and they are getting it. So this is well, well timed. It's got a forward by the way by J.D. Vance. And it's called Don's Early Light, which I just think is a beautiful title, given this time and given all that we're challenged with and going through. It's really a blueprint for we, the people, if you would. It's about draining the swamp. It's taking our country back. And you know what? keeping our country. How do we keep our country and prevent it from going through these things? Again, it's one of the reasons why I keep saying, you know, it's not retribution that anybody should be looking for, but Pam Bondi, when she starts looking to see what exactly went

down, she's going to figure out how we make sure that this kind of thing does not happen again. It's not retribution per se. It's actually just justice to ensure that the American people have the say. Not one group. or another group because this was all about one group having the most say and that inherently is fundamentally flawed. It's fundamentally wrong, right? Another quick shout out. Gosh, it's good that we have sponsors, right? I want to just again, our friends over in American Heart for Gold. Go to Trish lovesgold.com for up to $15,000 in free silver. It's worth thinking about as we go into this Thanksgiving week. Of course, I'll still be here. I'll be here tomorrow with you. I will be here

Friday with you. I don't think I'll be here Thursday with you. I'll be at my sisters and I'll be eating a little bit of turkey, but I hope you have some good plans as well. Call 1844-495-1-1-1-5 to learn more. Text Trish to 65-5-3-2 to learn more today because this is really and truly a unique time, a great opportunity in America right now. Speaking of great opportunities, make sure you also go to invest in MAGA, a free guide that I have created alongside my colleague at 76 research, Rob Horton for you to learn a little bit more about investing in a time like this. I'll tell you, the media is freaking out. The media is setting us up for a kind of civil war, if you would. I'm going to discuss this a little bit more tomorrow with you, because when you think of the likes

of, you know, Leticia James, Leticia James, who's promising that, you know, she's not going to back down, not one iota. I will not fear Donald Trump. I have steel in my backbone. And the reality is I will not allow this person, Donald Trump. who unfortunately is a broken man to get in the way of progress and to separate. Yeah, when you think of somebody like that and how she's setting us up in my estimation for a super challenging time, I consider what's going on with the mayor of Denver, Tom. Holman coming out fiercely against the mayor there of Denver. We got a lot going on, and we're going to continue covering it.

I'll see you right back here on this show tomorrow. Thank you so much for joining me, everyone. Until then.
