And we're live, how about that, from anywhere

0:02

in the world? I'm telling you, I'm here

0:04

with you every single day, Monday through Friday

0:07

anyway, and a little bit sometimes on the

0:09

weekends. Welcome everyone to the Trish Regan show.

0:11

AOC is in a little bit of trouble,

0:13

shall we say? You know, it just keeps growing

0:16

for her. It's like first the DOJ,

0:18

now this one, we're going to get

0:20

into what accusations are being leveled against

0:22

the representative from New York in just

0:25

a moment. But we also got to

0:27

talk today about what's going on over

0:29

at the FAA, brand new just coming

0:31

out a tape of someone who was

0:34

allegedly a DEI activist at the FAA

0:36

and wanted to make sure that certain

0:38

groups were making it through the exams,

0:40

allegedly gave the answers. And there's a

0:43

tape recording of him telling Everyone he's

0:45

going to give them the

0:47

answer so that's causing some

0:49

concerns all happening as Rosie

0:52

O'Donnell says she's moved to

0:54

Ireland permanently Lucky Ireland

0:56

Donald Trump said a few comments

0:58

on that we will discuss welcome

1:00

good to have you here we

1:02

begin on AOC accused of stealing

1:04

actually this is kind of a

1:06

biggie there is a group coming

1:08

forward Americans for public trust it's

1:10

accusing her of some pretty serious

1:12

stuff taking a look at this

1:14

being first reported in the New

1:16

York Post this is an ethics

1:18

group and they're basically filing this

1:20

ethics complaint against squad member Alexander

1:22

Ocasio Cortes accusing her misusing taxpayer

1:25

funds on dance training Americans

1:27

for Public Trust, a private watchdog

1:29

group that targets corruption, alleged the

1:32

AOC, tapped into her, tapped, no

1:34

pun intended, into her member representational

1:36

allowance, apparently she gets two million

1:38

bucks a year, to shell out

1:41

thirty seven hundred bucks to Juan

1:43

de Gonzales and another eight hundred

1:45

fifty dollars to bombazo dance company

1:47

for what is being called training.

1:50

Now they say that this is

1:52

not exactly a kosher shall we

1:54

say because you really can't. have

1:56

dance trainers as something that you're...

1:58

Taxpayers are funding. So she's responding

2:00

to this complaint and she's like,

2:03

oh, no, no, no, no, there's

2:05

nothing there. She's not done this

2:07

tweet. 100% wrong. None of this

2:09

is taxpayer money. This is actually

2:11

an FEC filing. Be loud and

2:13

wrong about something else. Try again

2:15

next time. And they're like, uh,

2:17

okay, honey, we got you. Because

2:19

now, apparently, you do have

2:21

election expenses. And you're actually charging

2:23

them to taxpayers, which makes this,

2:25

you understand, guys, even worse. Taking

2:27

a look here at this statement

2:29

of disbursements, this would be coming

2:31

from her members representation fund, of

2:34

which she apparently spent $1.8 million,

2:36

just $200,000 short of the $2

2:38

million she's being allowed. And you

2:40

can see that the Bumbazo dance

2:42

company and the Hondi Gonzales training,

2:44

that's all on there. And she's

2:46

trying to say, no, this is

2:48

an FEC thing. Which they're then

2:50

saying, well gosh, that makes it

2:52

even worse. Alexandria Casio Cortez. So

2:55

is this just an accounting error?

2:57

Or is she actually really misusing

2:59

funds? In their view, Americans for

3:01

Public Trust is saying she misused

3:03

the funds. She's using your taxpayer

3:06

dollars for something that actually should

3:08

be an election expense. And so

3:10

it's coming at... rather a bad

3:12

time, I should say, for the

3:15

Republican Republican. The representative, we wish,

3:17

and no we don't wish, the

3:19

representative from New York, coming at

3:21

a bad time because you see,

3:23

she's in the midst of being

3:25

possibly charged for impeding government.

3:28

This could actually be a

3:30

criminal. case against her and it's something

3:32

that the DOJ is actually looking into.

3:35

They're possibly preparing a case against one

3:37

Alexandria Acasio Cortes, Ilhan Omar would be

3:39

in that group as well. We know

3:41

already that Pam Bondi has come out

3:43

against Leticia, has come out against Leticia

3:45

James, the AG of New York, has

3:47

come out as well against Kathy Hocal

3:49

and the head of the DMV in

3:52

New York. And now she's looking at

3:54

Alexandria Acasio Cortes because AOC is

3:56

having webin' webinars and seminars on how

3:58

you need to avoid ice. She's just

4:00

doing this for her constituents

4:02

and then it's all fine because

4:04

these are her constituents. Now, apparently

4:07

she doesn't seem to understand that the

4:09

people who actually voted for her, the

4:11

people who actually are here legally in

4:13

this country. voting those are her constituents

4:15

but no she's she's expanding the pool

4:17

shall we say so already AOC has

4:19

already worked up saying oh my gosh

4:21

am I going to be targeted for

4:23

this maybe she's trying to make something

4:25

more of it like trying to get

4:27

ahead of the news cycle in a

4:30

way so that she can play the

4:32

victim but she has sent a letter

4:34

over to Pam Bondi wanting to know

4:36

whether or not she is being investigated

4:38

for this and I can assure her

4:40

that she is. Okay? Let's just cut to

4:42

the chase, right? She is. And we

4:45

know that if they can prove this

4:47

one out, they absolutely positively

4:50

will. So AOC, now in new

4:52

trouble, again, this new lawsuit with

4:54

this Americans Republic Trust saying, what

4:57

the heck are you doing? Like,

4:59

why are you taking dance classes

5:01

and your partying effectively? on the

5:03

American taxpayer and she's trying to

5:05

say no actually this isn't the

5:08

American taxpayer this is an election

5:10

expense so then they're coming back

5:12

at her and they're saying okay

5:14

this is even worse than we

5:16

thought because it's an election expense

5:18

and yet it's being put look at

5:21

the documentation again on this members representational

5:23

allowance so each member has a certain

5:25

amount of money that they can spend

5:27

on various things that they need for

5:29

their office she gets two million dollars

5:31

and she's out there using some of

5:34

this money for these dance So AOC

5:36

may have actually just put herself into

5:38

a worse situation by coming out and

5:40

saying all this. And again, it comes

5:42

as we see Pam Bondi basically saying,

5:44

look, you know, you're in violation of

5:46

the law. We saw Pam Bondi say

5:48

this just recently, right? Against Leticia, against

5:51

Kathy Hotel, and saying this is

5:53

a new DOJ. And, you know,

5:55

we're not going to stand for

5:57

this kind of stuff anymore. And so

5:59

I think... I think, you know, when it's

6:01

all said and done, AOC is going

6:03

to find herself in a very challenging

6:05

spot. Yes, there is a bit of

6:07

a spotlight on her, but she ought

6:09

to be able to deal with it.

6:11

I mean, I think Donald Trump certainly

6:13

had a spotlight on him for however

6:16

long, four years, well, really eight years,

6:18

and he still has it. And, you

6:20

know, it was courtesy of one, oh,

6:23

you know the soundbout, I got

6:25

to play it, one Leticia James.

6:31

He's called me

6:34

disgraceful.

7:05

He's called me a racist. We've

7:07

got to stand up to an administration,

7:09

which is too male, too pale, and

7:12

too stale. Okay, so I only play

7:14

that. And Uncle Andy, thank you for

7:16

your generosity. Much appreciated. You

7:18

knew she was a shady lady, right?

7:21

Well, who knows? I mean, I think

7:23

it certainly sounds sketchy, though. And she's

7:25

being accused of something. pretty darn serious.

7:27

And I would just say, listen, you

7:30

know, you've got to live a pretty

7:32

clean life if you're the representative AOC

7:34

from New York. I'd recommend that Jasmine

7:36

Crockett do the same, especially with the

7:39

spotlight now on her. In fact, in

7:41

some ways, they're kind of transferring all

7:43

their love for AOC onto one Jasmine

7:45

Crockett, who's being viewed, believe it or

7:47

not, as the future of the party. But

7:50

I would just say, look, AOC, you can

7:52

go and try and try and explain explain

7:54

this one, explain this one, this one, this

7:56

one, saying exactly what

7:58

is incriminating. The fact

8:00

that you're out there trying

8:02

to defend people that you

8:04

believe are your constituents who

8:06

really aren't, I mean we

8:08

can have that debate all

8:11

day long, but you know

8:13

the federal government does have

8:15

control over who is in this country,

8:17

they have control over the

8:19

borders, and so you trying

8:21

to explain it away on

8:23

one NPR, so-called. You held

8:25

an online forum. a

8:27

know-your-rights forum that he didn't

8:30

like. What were you doing? What

8:32

was your goal, as you saw

8:34

it? My job is to educate

8:36

and act as a liaison of

8:38

critical information to

8:40

my constituents, and I

8:42

was informing all of

8:45

my constituents of their

8:47

constitutional protections, and in

8:50

particular, their constitutional protections

8:52

against illegal search and

8:55

the United States. Take

8:57

some a minute. Holman was upset

8:59

I suppose because he felt that

9:01

you were giving advice to people

9:03

who were here illegally. Were you? I

9:05

was giving advice to all of

9:07

my constituents. Yeah. He said he was

9:09

going to report you or even that

9:11

he did reach out to the Department

9:13

of Justice. Have you heard from

9:15

the Department of Justice? I

9:17

have not and I intend on

9:20

reaching out to the Department of

9:22

Justice to inquire. Really. What would

9:24

your question be for the

9:26

Department of Justice? Well,

9:28

there is a member

9:31

of the Trump administration

9:33

who is threatening and

9:35

seeks to open an inquiry

9:37

and are you going to do it?

9:39

That would be Tom Holman. What

9:42

would you learn? What do

9:44

you hope to learn from

9:46

that exchange? I think it's

9:48

important to know where this

9:50

administration stands. I think

9:53

she's pretty nervous now. I think that when

9:55

you add all this up, one, she could

9:57

be in a lot of trouble, serious ethical

9:59

trouble. because of some of the accounting or

10:01

lack of accounting that's being done on her

10:04

campaign or within her office. You combine that

10:06

with her complete. flagrant disregard for

10:08

the actual law where she's more concerned

10:10

about the quote unquote constituents that are

10:13

not here in the country legally it

10:15

all adds up to problems for one

10:17

AOC and I think that these problems

10:19

are not going to be going away

10:21

for her or anytime soon I'm again

10:24

looking at some of your comments hello

10:26

good to have you guys all here

10:28

and let me see unk Andy who

10:30

had a funny comment just saying you

10:32

know that she's always been sort of

10:35

a bit on the shady is when

10:37

we say shady, I do think that

10:39

there's a hunger there

10:41

from some of these

10:44

political representatives that suggests

10:46

that they're willing to say and

10:48

do anything. in order to get

10:50

themselves elected. Don't forget what she

10:53

was doing with Tom Bowman, who

10:55

by the way didn't get elected.

10:57

Some people have joked that, oh,

10:59

you know, all those dance lessons

11:01

must have been so she could

11:04

go run around stage. Remember when

11:06

she was doing all that crazy

11:08

dancing on stage with that guy

11:10

who was doing all that crazy

11:12

dancing on stage with that guy

11:14

who was the alarm puller? Remember

11:16

how he pulled the fire alarm? because people

11:18

are getting kind of sick of all that

11:21

she is about and I think even the

11:23

Democrat Party has realized they can't deliver Hispanics

11:25

now and certainly AOC is not doing them

11:27

any any good at all. Quick shout-up for

11:29

one of our great sponsors here on the

11:31

show I was looking at gold today it's

11:33

up. Hey the market all turned around didn't

11:35

it? We have to talk about that all

11:37

on that CPI number. Turns out that Trump's

11:39

policies are kind of working after all. What

11:41

is CNN going to do? We will discuss.

11:43

But in the meantime, if you're somebody who

11:45

is worried about the future, if you're worried

11:47

about inflation, if you just want to make

11:49

sure that you have some stability in your

11:51

portfolio for the next however many years, I

11:53

do recommend Gold as part of a well-diversified

11:55

portfolio. And our friends over at American Guard

11:57

for Gold can help you out just go

11:59

to. Trish loves Gold.com up to

12:01

12:04

offers. You can text Trish to

12:06

65532, call them at 1-4-495-1-1-1-5. Wow.

12:08

So AOC is in the hot

12:11

seat, and I think she's going

12:13

to remain there for a while.

12:15

We'll find out whether or not

12:17

there's anything really illegal going on.

12:19

But you want to talk illegal.

12:21

We can talk those NGOs. I

12:23

mean, the whole NGO environmental scheme.

12:25

that the Democrats had going. This

12:27

is really kind of unbelievable. This

12:29

is all getting exposed in real

12:31

time, including, by the way, a

12:33

New York post report that just

12:35

broke suggesting that Biden may have

12:37

pumped $300 billion into the economy

12:39

in the quarter before the election

12:41

in hopes that things would look

12:43

a little bit better. He was doing

12:45

a little bit window dressing there and now

12:48

they're trying to get some of this stuff

12:50

undone. But I really question whether any of

12:52

that was legal. I mean if they're

12:54

misusing taxpayers in such a crazy

12:57

way where they're giving what 22

12:59

billion dollars to some of these

13:01

NGOs for environmental reasons, I'll tell

13:03

you, this is all changing and

13:06

it's stopping. Lee Zeldin found some

13:08

of this out with Stacey Abrams

13:10

because Stacey Abrams apparently was

13:12

running some organization that was part

13:15

of this like under this umbrella

13:17

of power forward communities and she

13:19

got 2 billion dollars. in tax,

13:22

in your tax money in 2024,

13:24

interesting timing, right, so that you

13:26

could go out and buy everybody

13:29

new appliances? What's that about? I mean,

13:31

this is an organization that basically didn't even

13:33

know how to fill out its own accounting

13:35

forms. This is an organization that was just

13:37

kind of created as a pop-up. You can

13:40

call it a pop-up NGO, and then it

13:42

gets all this money. It seems a little

13:44

shady, does it not? And here is Stacey

13:46

Abrams, much like AOC sort of implicating and

13:48

incriminating herself. She went on to MS NBC

13:51

to justify it the other day, and now

13:53

Lee Zelden, head of the head of the

13:55

EPA, head of the EPA, who the what

13:57

he just announced, all these regulations get

13:59

rid of all this red tape

14:01

in hopes of bringing energy prices even

14:04

lower. Here's Stacey Abrams really kind of

14:06

implicating herself in all of this. One

14:08

of the ironies of the attack on

14:11

you and I'm going to play what

14:13

he did was that my understanding is

14:15

the the program at the source of

14:17

this whole thing is a program to

14:20

lower costs for people. Do I have

14:22

that top line correct? You have it

14:24

absolutely right. Okay, so I'm gonna I'm

14:27

gonna play what he had to say

14:29

and then I'm gonna ask you to

14:31

explain what the program is that was

14:33

such an obvious ludicrous laugh line for

14:36

the Republicans there. Take a list. One

14:38

point nine billion dollars to recently created

14:40

decarbonization of Holmes Committee headed up and

14:43

we know she's involved just at the

14:45

last moment the money was passed over.

14:47

by a woman named Stacey Abrams. Have

14:49

you ever heard of him? Okay, so

14:52

what is this organization? What is your

14:54

relation to it and what does it

14:56

do? In 2023 and 2024, I led

14:59

a program called Vitalizing De Soda. We

15:01

worked in a tiny town in South

15:03

Georgia to demonstrate that by replacing energy

15:05

inefficient appliances with efficient appliances you can

15:08

lower your cost and in fact we

15:10

accomplish that for 75% of the community

15:12

they got appliances that are lowering their

15:14

bills right now we have one woman

15:17

who saw her electric bill cut in

15:19

half from 180 to 98 dollars that's

15:21

what we delivered and based on that

15:24

program a coalition of organizations famous organizations

15:26

came together and said to the EPA,

15:28

if we can do this here, we

15:30

can do this for millions more Americans.

15:33

Let us invest the money of America

15:35

in lowering the cost for Americans. And

15:37

the EPA said, okay, great, go for

15:40

it. So the concern is that you're

15:42

buying votes, okay? I'll give you a

15:44

new stove and you vote for Democrats

15:46

because we're all about all these giveaways,

15:49

this, that and the other. I mean

15:51

that's basically what they're trying to get

15:53

at and they're looking at some of

15:56

these forms, right? Like here's the United

15:58

Health. form getting seven billion dollars massive

16:00

amount of money like the biggest that

16:02

has ever been pumped into anything after

16:05

filling out a 49 page form and

16:07

most of it's kind of blank so

16:09

lots of questions here it comes just

16:12

as we learn and this is New

16:14

York Post is reporting this Biden actually

16:16

pumped 300 billion dollars apparently into the

16:18

economy just before the election in hopes

16:21

it would make the economy look a

16:23

little bit better instead of actually doing

16:25

the hard work right doing the things

16:28

that you need to do to make

16:30

things that you need to do to

16:32

make things that you need We've had

16:34

a market that's gone up down and

16:37

all around. And what did I say?

16:39

Keep a clear head. Make sure that

16:41

you think about what actually does matter

16:44

in the long run. And as an

16:46

investor, as long as you're not in

16:48

and out in a day, right? As

16:50

long as you have a long-term approach,

16:53

you're going to be better off. We

16:55

just celebrated our one-year anniversary. I should

16:57

point out at 76 research. So proud

17:00

of that. Look at these portfolios. Up

17:02

up, up, up, up, up, up. And

17:04

by the last couple days. Over the

17:06

last couple days with all the last

17:09

couple days with all this couple days

17:11

with all this craziness with all this

17:13

17:25

have been beating the S&P, continuing to

17:27

beat the S&P, because we don't get

17:29

sucked into the insanity of it all.

17:31

And I mean that. There's a certain

17:34

kind of insanity. Take a look at

you get the 76 report for just

17:45

came out. I should point this out

17:47

with a new pick. This is interesting

17:50

because this stock just got beaten down

17:52

so badly over the last couple of

17:54

days We just added it to our

17:57

American Resilience portfolio So take a look

Lee's Eldon you just heard some of

18:08

his comments who was concerned about some

18:10

of the things that Stacey Abrams may

18:13

or may not have been doing well

18:15

he came out just moments go and

18:17

announced that he's getting rid of a

18:19

ton of regulations. Like this is amazing.

18:22

This is amazing. Donald Trump wants to

18:24

bring down energy costs and his solution

18:26

to doing that is actually reducing the

18:29

amount of regulation that you have within

18:31

the energy industry so you can open

18:33

things up and that we can drill.

18:35

I mean the left is going crazy.

18:38

This is their nightmare. Listen to Lee.

18:40

Today I'm pleased to make the largest

18:42

deregulatory announcement in US history. The Environmental

18:45

Protection Agency is initiating 31 historic actions

18:47

to fulfill President Trump's promise to unleash

18:49

American energy, revitalize our auto industry, restore

18:51

the rule of law, and give power

18:54

back to the states. EPA will be

18:56

reconsidering many suffocating rules that restrict nearly

18:58

every sector of our economy, and cost

19:01

Americans trillions of dollars. Our actions include

19:03

the Biden administration's deeply flawed Clean Power

19:05

Plan 2.0, Mercury and Air Toxic Standards,

19:07

Quado, BC, particulate matter 2.5, light, medium,

19:10

and heavy car and truck rules, nishaps,

19:12

and the so-called social cost of carbon.

19:14

To advance cooperative federalism, EPA... Lee's Eldon,

19:17

new head of the EPA, he's like

19:19

just getting rid of all of it.

19:21

This was Donald Trump's platform right from

19:23

the beginning, right? Because he wants oil

19:26

prices coming down and just the mere

19:28

thought of this, by the way, has

19:30

had oil prices coming down, something he

19:33

alluded to today in an earlier press

19:35

conference he was there at the head

19:37

of Ireland. We'll get to the comments

19:39

about Rosie a little bit later on

19:42

because they're well worth hearing very funny

19:44

stuff. But here he is saying, you

19:46

know what, when you actually get rid

19:48

of some of this regulation you have

19:51

the ability to bring down oil prices.

19:53

And when you bring down oil prices,

19:55

guess what? You start to reduce inflation

19:58

for some reason. Democrats can't figure it

20:00

out. I'm very happy with his oil

20:02

is down to $65 a barrel and

20:04

that's faster than I would have a

20:07

tear. We put on the gas, we

20:09

stepped in the gas in order to

20:11

get oil and with what's happening so

20:14

we're getting that down and when energy

20:16

comes down prices are going to be

20:18

coming down with it. So in a

20:20

very short period of time we've done

20:23

a very good job. Indeed. Right? I

20:25

mean you saw the CPI news out

20:27

today. CPI coming in at 2.8 percent.

20:30

Let me see if I have, oh

20:32

I'm going to get to that because

20:34

I get some great graphics. I want

20:36

to show you because this is really

20:39

2.8 percent. I mean, it's up 2.8

20:41

percent, but everybody thought it was going

20:43

to be three or higher. Everybody thought

20:46

that, you know, now that Trump is

20:48

in there and he's talking tariffs and

20:50

this, not in the other, there's no

20:52

way that inflation would actually come down

20:55

and what do you know? It came

20:57

down. I don't know what the Democrats

20:59

are going to do for talking points

21:02

now. But, you know, the reality is

21:04

they're thinking about things in a really

21:06

smart way. And whether it's... employees were

21:08

told they had to clear out their

21:11

desk last night. It's over. He's getting

21:13

rid of him. Most of them anyway.

21:15

Linda McMahon, who's the new head of

21:18

the Department of Education, formerly Well, she

21:20

may still, I mean, her family owns

21:22

it anyway. She was an executive for

21:24

years and years at the WWF, the

21:27

WW, whatever they call it, the wrestling

21:29

thing, right? She's a great lady. I've

21:31

known her many years. She's here on

21:34

Laura Ingram's show on Fox, talking about

21:36

this whole process. This is a big

21:38

deal. Department of Education went in in

21:40

the 70s, around 76, with Jimmy Carter,

21:43

and it took a lot of the

21:45

power away from the states, away from

21:47

the states, from the states, Madam

21:50

Secretary, great to have you in studio

21:52

today. All right. First, welcome to the

21:55

show, because you haven't been on in

21:57

studio with me before. Now, is this

21:59

the first step? on the road to

22:01

a total shutdown? Yes, actually it is,

22:04

because that was the president's mandate. This

22:06

directive to me clearly is to shut

22:08

down the Department of Education, which we

22:11

know we'll have to work with Congress,

22:13

you know, to get that accomplished. But

22:15

what we did today was to take

22:17

the first step of eliminating what I

22:20

think is bureaucratic bloat, and that's not

22:22

to say that a lot of the

22:24

folks, you know, it's a humanitarian thing

22:27

to a lot of the folks that

22:29

are there, you know, you know, they're

22:31

out of the, they're out of a

22:33

job, they're out of a job, they're

22:36

out of a job. But we wanted

22:38

to make sure that we kept all

22:40

of the right people, the good people,

22:43

to make sure that the outward-facing programs,

22:45

the grants, the appropriations that come from

22:47

Congress, all of that are being met.

22:49

And none of that's going to fall

22:52

through the cracks. So that was my

22:54

next question. So the criteria for keeping

22:56

that 50% is related to expenditures and

22:59

key programs? Correct. Like Congress appropriates the

23:01

money that is going through Title I,

23:03

through IDEA programs. What's that stand for?

23:05

Well, you know what? I'm not sure

23:08

I can tell you exactly what it

23:10

stands for, except that it's the programs

23:12

for disabled and needs. Individuals with Disabilities

23:14

Act, I think. I'm guessing. I don't

23:17

know. I don't know all my acronyms.

23:19

I've been here for 30 years. This

23:21

is my fifth day on the job,

23:24

and I'm really trying to learn them

23:26

very quick. What does that mean? Well,

23:28

when people left today and they got

23:30

their notification to take their laptops and

23:33

their phones home with them and we

23:35

didn't want part of the people who...

23:37

We're being permanently let go and those

23:40

who are remaining to all to some

23:42

of them to show up to work

23:44

tomorrow morning. That's standard corporate practice that

23:46

we just we just locked the doors

23:49

and said for those that are coming

23:51

back will know that they'll be coming

23:53

back on Thursday. Where people given a

23:56

chance to take any personal effects? They

23:58

were told that they will be allowed

24:00

to come back. We would arrange for

24:02

them to come back and take their

24:05

personal effects with them. Basically. at her

24:07

job, she's actually going to literally get

24:09

rid of everything. Now it's interesting because

24:12

in some ways Donald Trump loses a

24:14

little bit of power. Remember that little

24:16

dust up with Maine recently where he

24:18

said, hey you're not going to get

24:21

any federal funds? Maine, unless you actually

24:23

play by the rules and our rules

24:25

mean you cannot have people that were

24:28

born as males competing in girl sports.

24:30

And Maine was like, oh, you know,

24:32

I'll see you in court. So he's

24:34

losing a little, but that's actually his

24:37

mentality, right? Because if you fully believe

24:39

in a smaller government, then you do

24:41

actually want to turn that power back

24:44

over to the states with the thinking

24:46

that the states can do what they

24:48

want. It's their problem, right? They can

24:50

fund education. They can come up with

24:53

their own standards. And they can hold

24:55

themselves accountable as opposed to making it

24:57

be a big bureaucratic machine. Former head

24:59

of the Teachers Union, right? The whole

25:02

American Federation for teachers, and maybe she

25:04

still is, anyway, Randy Wine Garden, going

25:06

all over MS NBC's airwaves as much

25:09

as she can to have a complete

25:11

hysterical melta. I mean, she's really worked

25:13

up, watch. is why so many people

25:15

are so mad about it because they're

25:18

just taking opportunity away from kids that

25:20

don't have it so billionaires kids of

25:22

billionaires they have it they go to

25:25

private schools everyone else 90% go to

25:27

public schools don't take away their opportunity

25:29

so let's stay on the fact sorry

25:31

no I'm really angry about this because

25:34

I'm really angry I taught kids in

25:36

Clara Barton High School in Brooklyn New

25:38

York Is it really about the kids,

25:41

Randy, or is it about you and

25:43

the teachers? I'm curious, because I look

25:45

around and it was actually the poorest

25:47

communities that went back to school the

25:50

latest. Thanks to teachers unions in 2020

25:52

and well into 2021. And I look

25:54

at the test data. And it's the

25:57

kids in the poorest communities that are

25:59

always suffering the most, who have, by

26:01

the way, the most powerful teachers unions.

26:03

So you know what? Get it out

26:06

of the hands of the federal government.

26:08

Let the states... with it. Let's create

26:10

a more level playing field and put

26:13

more responsibility on the places that can

26:15

try and get it right. Don't again

26:17

tell Randy because Randy is just a

26:19

I mean she's just she's she's a

26:22

mess right like this is this is

26:24

her worst nightmare all coming true. We

26:26

know for example what Texas would do

26:29

right? They'll use it for vouchers so

26:31

they won't give it to the kids

26:33

who have it now they'll just give

26:35

it For vouchers, schools, religious schools. And

26:38

frankly, what we're seeing in all the

26:40

programs that are now extant in terms

26:42

of vouchers, they don't work for kids.

26:44

They basically go right now. It becomes

26:47

a tax credit for people who are

26:49

already are sending their kids to private

26:51

schools. So it's income redistribution. Oh, okay.

26:54

So she really doesn't like voucher schools.

26:56

And you know the reason for that.

26:58

They don't want you to have any

27:00

choice in anything. They want to indoctrinate

27:03

you into everything that they believe in.

27:05

Gosh, all money. We can't possibly allow

27:07

your kid to use that money and

27:10

go to a Catholic school or a

27:12

religious school or any kind of private

27:14

school. It's really kind of shocking how

27:16

much they think they know everything, right?

27:19

They got it. They know better. And

27:21

they're going to do everything they can

27:23

to try and hold on to that

27:26

power. And it's frightening. It really is

27:28

frightening. Listen, there's an indoctrination going on.

27:30

It is toxic, it is bad, it

27:32

is ruining. So many kids, you look

27:35

at all the problems they have nowadays.

27:37

It's one of the reasons why, you

27:39

know, I should point this out, this

27:42

would be an opportune time. I partnered

27:44

with Herzon Foundation this year, and I'm

27:46

so proud of this, because it's an

27:48

organization that is devoted, it is devoted,

27:51

that you understand all the K-12 education

27:53

choices. If you're not like in the

27:55

public school, is there an alternative? And

27:58

they've investigated all the alternatives for Christian

28:00

schools. Because you know what? A Christian

28:02

education. I had one. First, second, and

28:04

third grade. Catholic school. Sacred heart. Great

28:07

education put in a really good foundation

28:09

That was instrumental for me for the

28:11

rest of my life So I encourage

28:14

you know and if you have kids

28:16

or if you don't have kids if

28:18

you have grandkids if you have friends

28:20

who have kids It's all free. It's

28:23

just a foundation that wants to help

28:25

guide you and they'll give you all

28:27

the resources You can get your hands

28:29

on there at Herzog Foundation. They'll help

28:32

you understand where the Christian alternatives for

28:34

school might be in your community because

28:36

listen. I mean you might actually have

28:39

the chance now you might actually be

28:41

able to make the decision on their

28:43

own and i think that's what's so

28:45

darn threatening right that's what's so darn

28:48

threatening to these people in the department

28:50

of education god forbid that you as

28:52

an individual might actually be able to

28:55

choose the kind of education your kid

28:57

is getting this is exciting this is

28:59

an exciting time i'd love to see

29:01

vouchers i love putting You know, the

29:04

money back in the hands of the

29:06

people, I mean, if you're a poor

29:08

family, think about, you know, she's, oh,

29:11

it's all going to billionaires. No, it's

29:13

not, Randy. You know what, if you're

29:15

a poor family and you have to

29:17

go to the local school down the

29:20

street because you don't have a choice,

29:22

but now all of a sudden the

29:24

Trump administration says we're going to give

29:27

it back to the states and states

29:29

like Texas, hey, they'll say, you know

29:31

what, you can take this, the public

29:33

schools to be more competitive schools to

29:36

be more competitive. All of a sudden,

29:38

now, there's demand. You know, it's a

29:40

market. You introduce a little marketplace economics,

29:43

and maybe you'll actually get some better

29:45

opportunities on the education front. And that's

29:47

what terrifies them. Really and truly. Remember

29:49

to subscribe, share a like. Yes, I'm

29:52

here. You guys are laughing. Just don't

29:54

you ever take a vacation? I guess

29:56

the short answer is no. I don't.

29:59

I really don't. I mean, especially right

30:01

now. I think it's just too important

30:03

a time. So do me the favor

30:05

of subscribing, liking, sharing, all that good

30:08

stuff. I'll tell you, this caught me

30:10

by surprise today. This one was surprising,

30:12

even for me. Now, I'm a big

30:14

believer in Trump's economic... policies, but I'm

30:17

also a realist and I recognize that

30:19

there are going to be some bumps

30:21

and challenges along the way because they're

30:24

talking about really instituting some systemic change.

30:26

And whenever you do something like that,

30:28

right, there's going to be winners and

30:30

losers, it's another reason why I think

30:33

you need to be really smart about

30:35

investing plugged for 76 research. But this

30:37

one was really good news today. So

30:40

inflation came down to 2.8% and most

30:42

people thought it was going to stay

30:44

up around three maybe even higher so

30:46

this just blew everyone away and it's

30:49

really really really good news I mean

30:51

inflation taming is exactly what we want

30:53

need the market love this right so

30:56

you saw the market reversing course with

30:58

the S&P ending up higher and then

31:00

you saw you saw CNN actually having

31:02

to admit it which kind of I

31:05

got a little bit of a kick

31:07

out of but but first before I

31:09

get to that take a look Am

31:12

I still in the shot? There we

31:14

go. This is a really fascinating graphic.

31:16

It shows you where we are 2.8%.

31:18

Did you see how high it went

31:21

under one Joe Biden all the way

31:23

up to 9.1%? Forgive me, I think

31:25

I said 9.6% yesterday. But it was

31:28

a train wreck under Joe. And even

31:30

though it was going down, you know,

31:32

it was cumulative. So even when we

31:34

say 2.8% today, it's CNN. had to

31:37

admit that it was good. So this

31:39

is worth seeing. Finally, we have some

31:41

good news on the economy and really

31:44

the number one issue for many Americans,

31:46

the cost of living. So we just

31:48

learned that consumer prices in February increased

31:50

by 2.8% year-over-year, 0.2% month over month.

31:53

both of these figures were a step

31:55

in the right direction and both were

31:57

better than expected. So this is definitely

31:59

very encouraging to see because it's going

32:02

to I think relieve some fears that

32:04

inflation was perhaps re-accelerating because this actually

32:06

breaks a streak of four straight months

32:09

where I think you could see it

32:11

on the chart all the way to

32:13

the right. where the inflation rate was

32:15

going in the wrong direction, right? It

32:18

was going higher and higher. Finally, we're

32:20

seeing it dip. Hmm. Yay! Okay, so

32:22

this is kidneys. Thank you, Lou, for

32:25

the generosity. Much appreciated. Lou Malm... Malm

32:27

Donato. I think I said that right.

32:29

Forgive me if I didn't. Anyway, the

32:31

reality here is... in my estimation going

32:34

to get a whole lot better. Now,

32:36

does it get there overnight? I'm not

32:38

so sure about that. I was very

32:41

impressed with this inflation number. I got

32:43

to tell you, this was better than

32:45

I expected. But it's like, they can't

32:47

admit it. They came up with this

32:50

idea the other day when the market

32:52

got kind of crazy because of the

32:54

tariff talk that, oh, Trump is bad

32:57

for markets. And it's all billionaires, and

32:59

they're like going to pocket everything. And

33:01

this is the narrative that they're going.

33:03

And they're saying the same thing. Trump

33:06

is bad for markets. He's not, by

33:08

the way. He's not at all. Certainly

33:10

not for my investments. Again, 76 research.

33:13

But here's the representative out of Texas,

33:15

and you can see they're stuck on

33:17

something here. We're trying to talk directly

33:19

to the American people about our positive

33:22

vision for the future, but it's based

33:24

on data. American people can see that

33:26

Donald Trump was given an economy that

33:29

was on the way up. We could

33:31

come from... the pandemic worked our way

33:33

through that stock market inflation going down

33:35

stock market going up it's completely inverted

33:38

now stock market crumbling consumer confidence declining

33:40

that's the Donald Trump legacy that's what

33:42

Donald Trump's economy and his tariffs on

33:45

again off again all of that uncertainty

33:47

the American public they may not follow

33:49

every in and out but they know

33:51

that these guys are not fighting for

33:54

them And so I appreciate the DPCC

33:56

and leader Jeffries offering an opportunity for

33:58

us to get our message out in

34:00

a different format. message at all. I

34:03

don't even think you understand what the

34:05

economy is. You don't understand what GDP

34:07

is. So for the record, S&P did

34:10

close higher. And right now, S&P Futures

34:12

and Dow Futures are up as well.

34:14

So I think that's not really going

34:16

to work. But here's the thing. Donald

34:19

Trump's like playing a long game. He's

34:21

playing a very long game. He's not

34:23

playing for this week or this month.

34:26

He's playing for the future of the

34:28

future of your children. You know, the

34:30

rest of America. I mean, this is,

34:32

this is sort of monumental, what he's

34:35

trying to accomplish. He outlined this in

34:37

an interview with Maria Bartiroma, my former

34:39

colleague, and, you know, this is what

34:42

they glommed on to, because he didn't

34:44

cheerly the stock market, and they just

34:46

can't let this one go. You said,

34:48

look, we're going to have a disruption,

34:51

but we're okay with that. Is that

34:53

what you meant? The stock market going

34:55

down is the disruption going down is

34:58

the disruption. You can't really watch the

35:00

stock market. If you look at China,

35:02

they have a hundred-year perspective. We have

35:04

a quarter. We go by quarters. That's

35:07

true. And you can't go by that.

35:09

You have to do what's right. What

35:11

we're doing is we're building a tremendous

35:14

foundation for the future. Tremendous foundation for

35:16

the future is something that could be

35:18

bumpy along the way. And they're going

35:20

to try and basically... get him at

35:23

every turn. You know, whenever the stock

35:25

market ends lower, it's his fault. And,

35:27

you know, when the stock market ends

35:30

higher, they're going to credit themselves? I

35:32

don't know. But, you know, let me

35:34

just say, when you're listening to Whoopi

35:37

Goldberg on the stock market, we got

35:39

a problem. This helps send the market

35:41

into free fall yesterday, which some mega

35:44

folks are blaming on the Biden economy.

35:46

The economy added 16.6 million jobs and

35:48

gross domestic products. group 12.6. They are

35:51

the only administration in history to have

35:53

created jobs every single month. Yes. They

35:55

achieve... Yes. Whoopie. That's not entirely... Would

35:58

you actually... Would anyone here? I'm curious.

36:00

I'll ask the question to the group

36:02

here. where you would actually say the

36:05

economy was under Joe Biden. Did you

36:07

actually think that that was a good

36:09

economy in any way, shape, or form?

36:11

That was not rhetoric. They were trying

36:14

to say, and all through the whole

36:16

campaign, they were trying to like basically

36:18

act that we were the crazy ones,

36:21

they were gas lighting us all the

36:23

time. Somehow it was, you know, our

36:25

own insanity if that we thought for

36:28

any moment in time, that somehow inflation

36:30

wasn't all that bad. And it's like,

36:32

no, inflation is that bad. I mean,

36:35

I can go back to the chart

36:37

I just showed you just showed you,

36:39

right I just showed you, right, right.

36:42

This one, okay? Inflation, I'm off camera,

36:44

but whatever, you guys know where I

36:46

am. That's really a bad inflation chart

36:49

because that 40-year high of 9.1 percent,

36:51

listen, you know who that was? That

36:53

was none other than Mr. Joe Biden,

36:56

so you can sit there and pretend

36:58

all you want on all this stuff,

37:00

but it's not happening, okay? The rest

37:02

of the public is where we are,

37:05

and look, I'm not saying it's going

37:07

to be perfect. articulating just exactly what's

37:09

at. By then, however, the Dow had

37:12

tumbled another 1%. Since Thursday, it has

37:14

fallen more than 2.5%. The markets are

37:16

going to learn. Let the deal maker

37:19

make his deals. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik

37:21

brokered today's truce with the Ontario Premier.

37:23

What is really being accomplished with all

37:26

of these one or two-day tariffs that

37:28

end up getting yanked? Well, when you're...

37:30

negotiating with someone and they're not paying

37:33

attention and they're disagreeing. who's the best

37:35

deal maker ever to sit in that

37:37

chair. He's going to say, here's my

37:40

response. And then all of a sudden,

37:42

shockingly, they respond. And yet the prospect

37:44

of an aggressive trade war has prompted

37:47

both JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs to

37:49

bump up the risk of a recession

37:51

this year. Will these policies be worth

37:53

it if they lead to a recession,

37:56

even a short-term recession? These policies are

37:58

the most important thing America has ever

38:00

had. So it is worth it. So

38:03

it is worth it. It is worth

38:05

it. A. I don't think the only

38:07

reason there could possibly be a recession

38:10

is because of the Biden nonsense that

38:12

we had to live with. These policies

38:14

produce revenues. So you're saying when it

38:17

looks chaotic and unpredictable from the outside

38:19

that there actually is a master plan

38:21

when it comes to these tariffs? It

38:24

is not chaotic. And the only one

38:26

who thinks it's chaotic is someone who's

38:28

being silly. He said reciprocal tariffs. Nobody

38:31

expected him to announce 50 percent. this

38:33

morning. He needed to break some guy

38:35

in Ontario who said he was going

38:38

to tax American energy 25%. The President

38:40

of the United States in the White

38:42

House says, oh no you won't and

38:44

breaks him. And you think that's chaos?

38:47

And they, well, you know, look, you

38:49

have to be willing to break a

38:51

little glass along the way, right? And

38:54

that's what's going on. And let's hope

38:56

it goes on, because listen, I think

38:58

there's some great stuff ahead. I really

39:01

do. For our economy, I'm excited about

39:03

it. I think that much much can

39:05

happen, but you know what? I'm just

39:08

going to say this. Congress has to

39:10

get its act together, right? We need

39:12

to be a united front. We need

39:15

Republicans doing the right thing. The reality

39:17

is binomics took us way, way, way,

39:19

way back, despite what Whoopi Goldberg says.

39:22

And there's some tricky stuff coming up.

39:24

I'm just going to point this one

39:26

out because it's reality. These tax cuts

39:29

that we got, the Trump tax cuts,

39:31

they're due to expire. So that would

39:33

actually mean that families would be paying

39:35

$1,500. is doing on this because right

39:38

now they're just saying hey listen we've

39:40

got to actually be realist here we've

39:42

got to have our act together because

39:45

we don't want Bidenics taking us back

39:47

if we don't get these tax cuts

39:49

through then we're still going to have

39:52

to deal with all these rising costs

39:54

and the reality of inflation as much

39:56

as Trump is trying to change all

39:59

this It's not going to change enough

40:01

if we still have higher taxes. So

40:03

they've got to vote for an extension

40:06

of those tax cuts that Donald Trump

40:08

put in and that we've benefited from

40:10

for, you know, however many years at

40:13

this point. So they've got a grassroots

40:15

army. I just encourage you guys to

40:17

get involved with them in any way

40:19

that you can and just help out

40:22

because it's a message that needs to

40:24

be heard. It really is one of

40:26

the most important things I think legislation-wise

40:29

that's going to be on the table

40:31

for... Republicans and Democrats alike. So go

40:33

check it out. Protect prosperity.com. Go check

40:36

them out today and see how you

40:38

can get involved in any way, shape

40:40

or form, even if it's just, you

40:43

know, sending a little email to your

40:45

Congress person and letting them know, reminding

40:47

them, reminding them, and this is Republicans

40:50

too, right, because let's face it, everybody

40:52

has their own self-interest, and so we've

40:54

got to make sure there's a united

40:57

front on the tax cuts themselves themselves.

40:59

Absolutely, you know, They don't have a

41:01

clue. We're going to write them off

41:04

as Trump did. Again, he was speaking

41:06

earlier in the Oval Office today. He

41:08

pointed it out. They don't have a

41:10

clue. The Democrats have no clue. You

41:13

saw that the other night during the

41:15

speech. Two young women were slaughtered by

41:17

illegal aliens. One young man is very

41:20

serious cancer and many other problems. We

41:22

look at the people up there. They

41:24

all had difficulty. Very serious difficulty. But...

41:27

when we're talking about two young girls,

41:29

beautiful young girls, Lake and Riley, you

41:31

know, you know, the whole story that

41:34

evening was a disaster for the Democrats

41:36

in my opinion. I would mention, and

41:38

I'd see two mothers that were inconsolable

41:41

as they stood, crying. Their daughters have

41:43

been absolutely just destroyed, killed, viciously killed,

41:45

and the young man who loved the

41:48

police departments, he had cancer and has

41:50

cancer, very bad cancer. There wasn't a,

41:52

from people sitting there, Democrats, there wasn't

41:55

a hand clap. Nobody stood. There were

41:57

just stone-faced. These people are sick. There's

41:59

something wrong with them. There was no

42:01

standing for anybody. The only thing they

42:04

liked is when they heard about the

42:06

death taking place with Ukraine. They were

42:08

happy about that. They were happy about

42:11

that. They were happy about that. Well,

42:13

Pocahontas was very happy. She's the one

42:15

that was clapped. That's why I looked

42:18

at her. I said, oh, it's Pocahontas.

42:20

These people are sick. They don't know

42:22

what's happening. They don't know what's happening.

42:25

And if they don't vote, then what

42:27

you're going to do is you're going

42:29

to have taxes that are going to

42:32

go through the roof. You're going to

42:34

have a very bad time. You're going

42:36

to have some very bad things happen.

42:39

And people are going to blame the

42:41

Democrats. Thank you, by the way, Spirit

42:43

Field. Watching from Knoxville, Tennessee. I love

42:46

that. I love that. And we've got

42:48

people from all over in the community.

42:50

Thank you for your generosity. But that's

42:52

what I was just talking about, right?

42:55

So they don't have a clue. And

42:57

they're not going to vote for an

42:59

extension, the tax cuts. They don't like

43:02

tax cuts. They want to take all

43:04

your money. So we need the Republicans

43:06

on the same page. So with that

43:09

in mind. Go see my friends. Lives

43:11

are losing it right now over Tesla.

43:13

So they just couldn't believe what Donald

43:16

Trump did yesterday. By the way, Elon's

43:18

committing more money to Trump organizations. I

43:20

want to get to that story in

43:23

just a moment. But first, a shout

43:25

out to our friends about balance and

43:27

nature, because I'll tell you, I wouldn't

43:30

be here today without them. I've had

43:32

a terrible cold, and thanks to these

43:34

guys, they send me my vitamins and

43:37

I actually think it's had a meaningful

43:39

effect. Vitamin D and vitamin D. and

43:41

I've been taking it with my fruits

43:43

and gummies. that I take every day.

43:46

Fruits and veggies, I should say. They

43:48

are gummies, gluten free, for those of

43:50

you that care. I have a child

43:53

who actually has gluten intolerant, so I

43:55

notice these things. But listen, it's been

43:57

great. I take them every day. I

44:00

feel good. I've only had one cold

44:02

this year, which is a record for

44:04

me, considering how many colds have been

44:07

going through my household. So that's all

44:09

good news. You can get balance in

44:11

nature as well. Go to their website.

44:14

full-on money back guarantee, no harm, they'll

44:16

follow. If you use code word, Trish,

44:18

it helps the show, it helps me,

44:21

it helps you. So we thank our

44:23

friends over balance of nature for keeping

44:25

me in good shape and hopefully keeping

44:28

you in good shape too. Lives are

44:30

losing it right now over this Tesla

44:32

thing. So Donald Trump was kind of

44:34

annoyed that there were these violent attacks

44:37

happening at Tesla. dealerships and understandably annoyed

44:39

right like I'm annoyed seeing it too

44:41

anytime you see a destruction of property

44:44

that's never a good thing first mate

44:46

thank you so much appreciate the generosity

44:48

first man it's kind of funny because

44:51

I'm on a I'm on a boat

44:53

anyway these lives are like whoa how

44:55

dare he turn the White House into

44:58

a showroom of sorts for these cars.

45:00

It was kind of funny, actually. He's

45:02

good at it, right? He's really, he's

45:05

a good salesperson. So keep in mind

45:07

the backdrop of what's going on. First

45:09

of all, X came under a cyber

45:12

attack. So Elon was kind of upset

45:14

about that. And then Tesla and the

45:16

dealerships have been coming under attack. I

45:19

think we have some video. See, this

45:21

is 44 wheels were stolen from Tesla's

45:23

in League City parking lot. This is

45:25

from a local affiliate. So they've had

45:28

these issues and there's some violence that's

45:30

being directed at Tesla dealerships and being

45:32

directed at people driving Tesla cars. In

45:35

fact, I know people in my sort

45:37

of liberal neck of the woods that

45:39

I live in New England that have...

45:42

gotten rid of Tesla's and actually taken

45:44

big hits. I mean, because they're not

45:46

really thinking economically speaking, so they've taken

45:49

hits on their Tesla's just because they

45:51

hate Donald Trump so much. So you

45:53

get Tesla fully under attack and Donald

45:56

Trump's like, you know what, to heck

45:58

with it, I'm going to show my

46:00

support, I'm going to buy a Tesla.

46:03

And so he invited all the different

46:05

trucks and cars, the cyber truck, all

46:07

to come into the White House and

46:10

they had, gosh down it, a full-on

46:12

car show. That's pretty good. It's gonna

46:14

look beautiful. Okay. I'm gonna look at

46:16

this. I'm gonna make a decision. Do

46:19

you want to hear what my decision

46:21

is? Okay. What's the car that I

46:23

drive is in one place. Which is

46:26

that one? I like that. Yeah. Okay,

46:28

so they're taking a look. They're doing

46:30

the walk, right? The line, if you're

46:33

listening on Apple Podcast, we thank you

46:35

for that. You can't see the video

46:37

that we're looking at. But he's, you

46:40

know, I'm talking to Elon. He's taking

46:42

a look at this. 50%? Is that

46:44

going to go into effect on Canada

46:47

or not? They're asking about tariffs. I'll

46:49

let you know, I'll let you know,

46:51

let me go back to looking at

46:54

my cars. Okay, so. This is really

46:56

interesting the reaction that you see in

46:58

the liberal media and I have to

47:01

show it to you because it's worth

47:03

understanding Again remembering that there have been

47:05

violent attacks on Tesla Donald Trump came

47:07

out and said listen if there's violent

47:10

attacks on a business any business I

47:12

consider that a form of domestic terrorism

47:14

and they go crazy like crazy. Here's

47:17

that guy who looks just like Rachel

47:19

Maddo Yeah, Donald Trump bought a car

47:21

from his buddy, or at least he

47:24

said he did, who knows, right? Right

47:26

off the makeshift Tesla lot, they set

47:28

up in front of the White House.

47:31

What does this have to do with

47:33

the American people and their interests? Public

47:35

interest? Couldn't tell you. When Trump was

47:38

asked what to do about the people

47:40

targeting Tesla cars and dealerships, here's what

47:42

happened. Some say they should be labeled

47:45

domestic terrorists. I will do that. I'll

47:47

do it. I'm going to stop them.

47:49

We catch anybody anybody doing it because

47:51

they're harming a great American company. You're

47:54

either with the Tesla or you're with

47:56

the terrorists? That's one way to try

47:58

to stabilize an oligarch's business empire. Come

48:01

on. I mean, really, I mean, they're

48:03

resorting to that. And it's a talking

48:05

point, by the way. It's totally a

48:08

talking point, because that wasn't the only

48:10

show on MS NBC to do that.

48:12

There's another one. I don't even know

48:15

who these hosts are. That one's just

48:17

the one that looks like Rachel, right?

48:19

These hosts are saying the exact same

48:22

thing. So clearly, they got their direction.

48:24

But then you also overnight have this

48:26

post claiming that protests at Tesla dealerships

48:29

are illegal. He said today he would

48:31

label violence against dealerships, domestic terrorism. You

48:33

know I am judicious in how I

48:36

play this sound, but I think you

48:38

need to hear it from him. Mr.

48:42

President, talks about some of

48:44

the violence that's been going

48:46

on around the country at

48:48

dealerships. Some say they should

48:51

be labeled domestic terrorists. I

48:53

will do that. I'll do

48:55

it. I'm going to stop

48:57

them. We catch anybody doing

48:59

it because they're harming a

49:01

great American company. Let me

49:03

tell you, you do it

49:05

to Tesla and you do

49:07

it to any company. So

49:10

did you not hear the part about

49:12

the violence, right? If there's violence against

49:15

a company? Then that is a far,

49:17

I mean, it's not protest. How did

49:19

protests suddenly become violent and like that

49:22

was okay? Kind of reminds me of,

49:24

oh, summer of 2020, right? When you

49:26

know, they were looting and they were

49:28

burning things down and somehow those were

49:31

just protests. Peaceful protest, my you know

49:33

what, all right? MS NBC, get real.

49:35

If there's suddenly torch in your building,

49:38

if there's like graffiti all over your

49:40

building there at Rockefeller Center, you're going

49:42

to call that a peaceful protest, don't

49:45

you want somebody actually protecting you? No,

49:47

that's violent, right? When you have violence

49:49

in the picture, that becomes something totally

49:52

different. But they just can't let this

49:54

one go. I mean, on and on

49:56

and on and on, you know, it's...

49:58

It's sort of weird how much they

50:01

have grown to hate Elon Musk. And

50:03

I'm looking at your comments, and it's

50:05

true, you guys, you're right. Like, they

50:08

used to love Elon, right? Like, Elon

50:10

could do no wrong. Tesla was the

50:12

greatest thing. And now all of a

50:15

sudden, they want to get rid of

50:17

their Tesla. They want to get rid

50:19

of their Tesla. They hate the company.

50:22

They want to get rid of their

50:24

Tesla's. They hate the company. You can

50:26

spin it however you want. Man that

50:28

looks like Rachel and the other one

50:31

the other lady. I don't even know

50:33

who she is and then they're over

50:35

on CNN And you know what this

50:38

Scott Jennings? He deserves a raise He

50:40

deserves a huge raise because he has

50:42

to sit there with these idiots and

50:45

remind them of basic things like oh

50:47

Tesla employs people Tesla actually helps Americans

50:49

They see this as all some kind

50:52

of oligarch move by Elon here. So

50:54

you have plenty of time and you

50:56

have plenty of time the problem is

50:58

that the Republican messaging right now continues

51:01

to be workers Americans, you're going to

51:03

feel a little bit of pain. And

51:05

Americans have been feeling pain. That's why

51:08

Democrats lost the election. That's why Democrats

51:10

lost everything. Trump promised that he would

51:12

end up lowering costs, that he would

51:15

have a better economy, that he would

51:17

get us out of the war in

51:19

Ukraine. He promised all of these things,

51:22

and he hasn't done it. And instead,

51:24

which I think was a terrible PR

51:26

move in Scott. I'm assuming you agree,

51:28

because as a Republican strategist, you wouldn't

51:31

have advised him to go. in front

51:33

of the White House and drive a

51:35

Tesla. Wait, why? Because of course I

51:38

would have. You know why? Because if

51:40

I were advising a Republican president, I

51:42

would say... Let's support American companies that

51:45

have thousands of American workers and thousands

51:47

more workers who make indirect products for

51:49

it. Yeah, I think it would be

51:52

a good idea if American companies did

51:54

well under my age. Oh, okay. So

51:56

you're going to go ahead and support

51:58

a billionaire, but not support the American

52:01

worker and not necessarily. Who do you

52:03

think makes Tesla's Sochi American workers? It's

52:05

good. It's very much as Janetana met.

52:08

There's such socialists. It's just hard to

52:10

watch. It's really, really hard. It's like

52:12

when I was in the news. back

52:15

in San Francisco like 20-something years ago

52:17

and Enron was going down and they

52:19

started cheering literally cheering and I'm like

52:22

guys like Enron actually employs a lot

52:24

of people And Enron is actually a

52:26

staple in most American 401ks and they

52:28

forget they have this whole disconnect, right?

52:31

Because they just hate business and they

52:33

hate billionaires unless of course they're their

52:35

own. I mean, they love George Soros,

52:38

right? This is breaking right now and

52:40

this is very concerning. There is some

52:42

concern about a particular tape that has

52:45

just been released. There allegedly is this

52:47

DEA activists that was... Employed by the

52:49

FAA, you know of course that the

52:52

FAA has come under fire because there's

52:54

fear and concern that we don't have

52:56

the most talented people in those jobs

52:58

and we haven't been able to recruit

53:01

the most talented people for those jobs,

53:03

but there was an effort that began

53:05

back in the Obama era and continued

53:08

on through Biden to make sure that

53:10

we had more diversity equity and inclusion

53:12

there and that apparently became the biggest

53:15

priority over some other things like actually

53:17

making sure that you had the most

53:19

qualified people for the job. And so

53:22

this is suddenly getting... exposed. This is

53:24

brand new story coming to us actually

53:26

out of the Daily Mail that had

53:28

the exclusive on this. They actually had

53:31

the air traffic controller with an audio

53:33

tape. This is again allegedly him giving

53:35

the answers to people that were applying

53:38

for the jobs. It is believed these

53:40

were minorities that were applying for air

53:42

traffic controller jobs and he wanted to

53:45

make sure that they had the correct

53:47

answers and I actually left a voicemail

53:49

about this. So this is an ongoing

53:52

investigation. They're going to have to get

53:54

more information. The story first being reported

53:56

by Daily Mail. I have the tape.

53:58

So I want to show you right

54:01

here. This is this DEA activist at

54:03

the FAA promising that he's going to

54:05

come forward allegedly with these answers for

54:08

people. Let's listen to it. It's been

54:10

a really busy time for me these

54:12

past four days. I know that each

54:15

of you are eager, very eager to

54:17

apply for this job vacancy announcement and

54:19

trust. After tonight, you will be able

54:22

to do so. I am asking that

54:24

you give me another 15 or 16

54:26

hours, allow me to go to work

54:28

and come home, provide you with an

54:31

email that will be extremely crucial in

54:33

the opening stages of this hiring process.

54:35

There are some valuable pieces of information

54:38

that I have taken a screenshot of

54:40

and I'm going to send that to

54:42

you via email Trust and believe it

54:45

will be something that you will Appreciate

54:47

to the utmost Keep in mind we

54:49

are trying to maximize Your opportunities and

54:52

I'm doing the very best that I

54:54

can with the time that I'm given

54:56

today when I get off at 11

54:58

o'clock The first thing that I'm going

55:01

to do is I'm going to finish

55:03

out that email. I'm going to send

55:05

it to each of you and as

55:08

you progress through the stages, refer to

55:10

those images so that you wouldn't know

55:12

which icons you should select. Now I

55:15

have a good mind to send it

55:17

to one of my HR representatives first

55:19

and give them the opportunity to sign

55:22

off on it before you actually click

55:24

it. But in the sake of time...

55:27

I'm going to send it directly

55:29

to you because I'm about 99.99%

55:31

sure that it's exactly how you

55:33

need to answer each question in

55:35

order to get through the first

55:37

phase. People have been getting rejection

55:39

notices and those rejection notices have

55:41

been coming after 24 to 36

55:44

hours after click and submit and

55:46

I want to avoid that. So

55:48

what we're going to do is

55:50

we're going to take our time.

55:52

And we're going to make sure

55:54

that everything that we click. And

55:56

you're going to even have to

55:58

go back to your resume and

56:00

make some changes because one of

56:03

our members and I have caught

56:05

something. And we want to go

56:07

back and we want to fine-tune

56:09

those details. And I guarantee that

56:11

will give us the very best

56:13

feeling that we could ever get

56:15

in applying for this job. VRA's,

56:17

those that have received tentative offer

56:19

letters, we want you to apply

56:21

for this job anyway. messages came

56:24

back saying do not give the

56:26

agency an opportunity to say they

56:28

never gave you one so apply

56:30

for it anyway for everyone else

56:32

stand by to stand by later

56:34

on this evening when I get

56:36

home I'm going to finish those

56:38

emails and then I'm going to

56:40

go back to planning for the

56:42

Black History Month program and then

56:45

I'm going to process all new

56:47

members and Roman forms and then

56:49

I'm going to send out my

56:51

emails to the managers of the

56:53

of the FAA regional headquarters and

56:55

thinking of for my visit. And

56:57

then I'm going to get back

56:59

to handling some important business for

57:01

the VRA. So again, this is

57:03

a story that Daily Mail is

57:06

reporting exclusively and they were given

57:08

this tape. This has not been

57:10

independently confirmed by me. I will

57:12

point that out. So we want

57:14

to at least, you know, say,

57:16

you know, say. innocent until proven

57:18

guilty, right? So this is all

57:20

according to the daily mail. They

57:22

have this on the front of

57:24

their website right now and they're

57:27

alleging that this was given to

57:29

African-American minority candidates in order to

57:31

quote minimize competition and it was

57:33

done in 2014 allegedly so there

57:35

will be a lot more questions

57:37

I think concerning this and again

57:39

we don't have all the answers

57:41

right now but it is nonetheless

57:43

of some concern if you would

57:45

because it is it is critical

57:48

that we we have fairness and

57:50

this is sort of what what

57:52

I do think Donald Trump is

57:54

trying to get back to and

57:56

that you know you really want

57:58

a meritocracy a full-on meritocracy where

58:00

you're not rewarding people because of

58:02

how much melanin they have in

58:04

their skin or whether they're male

58:06

or female or whether they're in

58:09

purple hair it or trans or

58:11

gay or heterosexual or whatever right

58:13

you just want the best person

58:15

for the job and the FAA

58:17

for the job and the FAA

58:19

again has come under tremendous tremendous

58:21

pressure so we'll see how this

58:23

all shakes out but the good

58:25

news is you know we're getting

58:27

rid of DEA and we need

58:30

to get rid of DEA really

58:32

and truly it's part of the

58:34

reason I created 76 research because

58:36

you could see it even within

58:38

what stocks people were picking in

58:40

portfolios. They weren't looking at profits.

58:42

They were looking at, oh, you

58:44

know, what is the board comprised

58:46

of? And that didn't really make

58:49

any sense to me. You know,

58:51

I'm just a simple girl from

58:53

New Hampshire and, you know, we

58:55

like things like. profits when it

58:57

comes to investing. So I'm proud

58:59

of 76 research. I encourage you

59:01

guys to go there. We just

59:03

made a new ad to our

59:05

American Resilience portfolio, brand new stock

59:07

pick today. Take a look at

59:10

all of those portfolios, 10 to

59:12

15 stocks in each and 15

59:14

stocks in each and every single

59:16

one of them. Meanwhile, all of

59:18

this happening is RFK Jr. goes

59:20

after the food companies. Think about

59:22

what we're dealing with today, right?

59:24

You get the EPA. Getting rid

59:26

of all of those regulations. sent

59:28

home packing and now you get

59:31

RFK that's saying I want Americans

59:33

who have healthier food and I

59:35

want to get rid of all

59:37

these chemicals he sat down with

59:39

my former colleague Hannity for an

59:41

interview I guess Hannity admitted that

59:43

he'd been a not eating so

59:45

well ahead of the RFK junior

59:47

interview but this is important listen

59:49

to what he says about the

59:52

food chemicals and you know I

59:54

think there's some there and I

59:56

wouldn't be surprised if some of

59:58

these food companies are indeed held

1:00:00

responsible. We really appreciate it. Before

1:00:02

you got here, I already had

1:00:04

a burger, so I'm having another,

1:00:06

I'm breaking my diet. I am

1:00:08

pretty much full-long keto. basically meat

1:00:10

and eggs. I made an exception

1:00:13

today. I had it on a

1:00:15

bun and I really enjoyed it

1:00:17

actually. And it was really good.

1:00:19

Explain the difference between seed oil

1:00:21

and palo and why this is

1:00:23

a big deal. Why they said

1:00:25

we're going to RFK steak and

1:00:27

shake. You know, process foods and

1:00:29

seed oil is one of the

1:00:31

components of process foods and that

1:00:34

is, you know, all the science.

1:00:36

indicates that ultra-process foods are the

1:00:38

principal culprit. And this extraordinary explosion,

1:00:40

the epidemic we have of chronic

1:00:42

disease. What my uncle was present,

1:00:44

3% of Americans at chronic disease

1:00:46

today, 60% do. We have 66%

1:00:48

of adults are diabetic or pre-diabetic,

1:00:50

38% of teens. When you and

1:00:52

I were kids, Sean. The average

1:00:55

pediatrician would see one case of

1:00:57

juvenile diabetes in his lifetime, over

1:00:59

a 40 or 50 year career.

1:01:01

Today, one out of every three

1:01:03

kids who walks through his office

1:01:05

stores, diabetic or pre-diabetic diabetes and

1:01:07

other mitochondrial diseases are now costing

1:01:09

America more than our military budget.

1:01:11

We spent two to three times

1:01:13

on health care what other countries

1:01:16

do, and we have the worst

1:01:18

outcomes, and we have the best

1:01:20

medical system in the world. We

1:01:22

are poising ourselves. You know, he's

1:01:24

on to something. And I'm just

1:01:26

going to say, you know, why

1:01:28

is it that you go to

1:01:30

Europe, okay? I was in Europe

1:01:32

last summer, actually spent a lot

1:01:35

of time in Ireland, so I

1:01:37

do have some thoughts on Rosie

1:01:39

O'Donnell. We're going to get to

1:01:41

that in a second. But, you

1:01:43

know, why is it that no

1:01:45

matter where you go in Ireland

1:01:47

or anywhere in Europe, Italy, Portugal,

1:01:49

you know, whatever, like, like, Everything

1:01:51

is really good. And I think

1:01:53

it comes down to the food

1:01:56

sourcing, right? They don't have all

1:01:58

the preservatives and the chemicals that

1:02:00

we have in. our food companies

1:02:02

here. And so yeah, it tastes

1:02:04

better. And then you have to

1:02:06

ask yourself, like, what are those

1:02:08

chemicals doing to us? Well, he

1:02:10

is not making a lot of

1:02:12

friends, shall we say? I mean,

1:02:14

RFK Jr. They didn't want them

1:02:17

there in the first place. You

1:02:19

know, I know it. And you

1:02:21

know, whether it's the food companies

1:02:23

or whether it's the health insurance

1:02:25

companies or whether it's big farmer,

1:02:27

they're all livid that he's there.

1:02:29

Pushing back, pushing back, it's one

1:02:31

of the biggest lobbying groups you

1:02:33

have. They've raised prices on over

1:02:35

575 drugs. It's amazing. Brand name

1:02:38

drugs. In the month of January

1:02:40

alone, okay, that was just January.

1:02:42

And they were out there trying

1:02:44

to block all this competition, spending

1:02:46

millions of dollars to do so,

1:02:48

right? You think about all the

1:02:50

ads that you're served for all

1:02:52

these medicines. They'll work on their

1:02:54

marketing, and they'll work on their

1:02:56

lobbying, and they'll work on their

1:02:59

lobbying. But what about reducing the

1:03:01

price of these drugs for people?

1:03:03

Well, they're pressuring Congress, as we

1:03:05

speak, to implement mandates. Mandates that

1:03:07

would undermine the one real check

1:03:09

against drug companies that we have,

1:03:11

and the one way that people

1:03:13

can actually put some market-based incentives

1:03:15

into... play to help their employers

1:03:17

and help families save on prescriptions

1:03:20

and health care costs and even

1:03:22

words. Big Farmer wants to strip

1:03:24

American employees of their freedom to

1:03:26

choose their health benefits. that work

1:03:28

best for them. It's just unbelievable.

1:03:30

These proposals, I'll tell you, they

1:03:32

could hand Big Pharma a lot

1:03:34

of money. A lot of money.

1:03:36

We're talking about somewhere around $32

1:03:38

billion all at the expense of

1:03:41

American employers and families. So this

1:03:43

is why I think you've got

1:03:45

to pay attention to this stuff

1:03:47

right now. Conservatives for lower health

1:03:49

care is all over this. I'm

1:03:51

just going to give them a

1:03:53

shout out because I encourage you

1:03:55

to go and just learn a

1:03:57

little bit more about it. Farm

1:03:59

of Winfall.com, they want letters to

1:04:02

Congress, they want you to make

1:04:04

a difference if you can in

1:04:06

your local community because listen, I

1:04:08

think RFK Jr. is going to

1:04:10

do a lot but he's going

1:04:12

to need some support and that

1:04:14

grass... support is really the game

1:04:16

changer so go check them out

1:04:18

pharma windfall.com all right I promised

1:04:21

we would talk about Rosie O'Donnell

1:04:23

moving to my homeland I don't

1:04:25

know I don't know she's moving

1:04:27

to Ireland guys right ahead of

1:04:29

St. Patrick's Day I'm planning to

1:04:31

spend some more time there this

1:04:33

summer my family is originally from

1:04:35

there actually from a very small

1:04:37

region in the southeastern part of

1:04:39

Ireland called Ring, and they still

1:04:42

speak Gaelic there. You know, it's

1:04:44

really amazing. They actually teach math

1:04:46

and history and everything. The only

1:04:48

thing they teach in English in

1:04:50

this little town is English. So

1:04:52

they're very proud of their heritage.

1:04:54

They're very proud of their culture.

1:04:56

And now, Rosie's in on the

1:04:58

act. I don't think she's near

1:05:00

my family, but here she is,

1:05:03

saying she has moved to Ireland

1:05:05

and she loves it. I don't

1:05:07

disagree with her. warmest place that

1:05:09

people are extraordinary it's wonderful you

1:05:11

know what they've had a ton

1:05:13

of economic success because they made

1:05:15

a lot of right decisions policy

1:05:17

wise when they had the chance

1:05:19

anyway now they get rosy well

1:05:21

1:05:42

I'm very grateful in the process

1:05:45

of getting my Irish citizenship as

1:05:49

what's going on and that's where

1:05:51

I've been and what I've been

1:05:53

doing and Although I was Never

1:05:55

someone who thought I would move

1:05:57

to another country That's what I

1:06:00

decided would be the best for

1:06:02

myself and my 12-year-old child. And

1:06:04

here we are. Here we are.

1:06:06

So Chicktock has gotten a little

1:06:08

bit dark and negative for me.

1:06:10

I don't feel capable of... going

1:06:12

through the hate that comes through

1:06:14

and I'm trying sub-stack and I

1:06:16

think I like it there now

1:06:18

it's hard to learn if the

1:06:20

sub-stack blah blah blah blah she's

1:06:22

gonna promote her products but she

1:06:24

has descended upon Ireland it's funny

1:06:26

because the head of Ireland was

1:06:28

visiting the White House today and

1:06:30

you got asked kind of an

1:06:32

amusing question somebody it's hard to

1:06:34

hear you might have to turn

1:06:36

up the volume but the person

1:06:38

said you know Ireland's such a

1:06:40

great place with so many happy

1:06:42

people. How on earth did you

1:06:45

let Rosie O'Donnell in? And the

1:06:47

funny thing is, is that the

1:06:49

guy who runs Ireland had no

1:06:51

clue who Rosie was and Trump

1:06:53

handled this quite beautifully. I want

1:06:55

you to see. Ireland is known

1:06:57

for very happy, fun-loving people, great

1:06:59

out to many in this room

1:07:01

right now that I've met. Why

1:07:03

in the world would you let

1:07:05

Rosie O'Donnell move to Ireland? I

1:07:07

think you're going to lower your

1:07:09

happiness. You know who she is?

1:07:11

You know who she is? You

1:07:13

better off not knowing. You're better

1:07:15

off not knowing. You're better off

1:07:17

not knowing. Very, very interesting sort

1:07:19

of reaction. And he thinks quick

1:07:21

on his feet, right? He kind

1:07:23

of saved his... his colleague there

1:07:25

the head of Ireland from any

1:07:27

embarrassment and was able to be

1:07:30

quite nimble with that. Anyway, so

1:07:32

yeah, she's gone to Ireland. You

1:07:34

can do that. You know, if

1:07:36

you have a grandparent that is

1:07:38

from Ireland, you can get an

1:07:40

Irish passport, which is kind of

1:07:42

cool. All that said, you know,

1:07:44

Ireland is facing... its own challenges.

1:07:46

I've talked about this before, but

1:07:48

think about how the UK has

1:07:50

allowed all this migration, right, into

1:07:52

into The UK, and it's actually

1:07:54

a big part of what Brexit

1:07:56

was, you know, voters are very

1:07:58

angry, you're seeing a failure of

1:08:00

their ability to integrate, and immigration

1:08:02

has become a huge deal over

1:08:04

there, much like it has here.

1:08:06

And then you've got Ireland, which

1:08:08

had been sort of protected from

1:08:10

that. times myself, you can just

1:08:12

go right through the border and

1:08:14

then you're part of southern Ireland.

1:08:17

And so the demographics are changing.

1:08:19

For example, when I was in

1:08:21

Belfast, I saw a lot of

1:08:23

women in the full-on hajibes and

1:08:25

that was sort of surprising, right,

1:08:27

because it's Ireland. And I was

1:08:29

just sort of taken back by

1:08:31

the... tremendous diversity that they had

1:08:33

in the population, certainly in Northern

1:08:35

Ireland. And then as you went

1:08:37

to Dublin, again, you saw it

1:08:39

in Dublin, it's different in the

1:08:41

countryside and where I'm from, it's

1:08:43

a very different kind of feel

1:08:45

than you see in those big

1:08:47

cities, but the cities now are

1:08:49

changing. And there are a lot

1:08:51

of people in Ireland are absolutely

1:08:53

fine with that. There are a

1:08:55

lot of people though that are

1:08:57

very concerned that they're going to

1:08:59

lose their Irish traditions. and that

1:09:02

they're going to lose their Irish

1:09:04

way of life. There was a

1:09:06

mother who spoke out about this

1:09:08

most recently. I want to show

1:09:10

you a quick clip of her

1:09:12

because she really hit the nail

1:09:14

on the head. She said, look,

1:09:16

I live in Dublin. and my

1:09:18

child's life is so different in

1:09:20

Dublin now because of the demographic

1:09:22

that is shifting and like for

1:09:24

a culture that cares so much

1:09:26

about its identity and they do

1:09:28

because listen you know the British

1:09:30

came in and they wouldn't allow

1:09:32

them to speak Irish so when

1:09:34

you see these small communities like

1:09:36

the one I'm from where they're

1:09:38

still speaking Irish today it's because

1:09:40

they want to make sure that

1:09:42

their traditions and their cultures are

1:09:44

observed. and cherished for the future

1:09:47

and she's telling the people in

1:09:49

the countryside look it's all changing

1:09:51

it's changed in Dublin it's going

1:09:53

to change for you and I

1:09:55

find this interesting because it really

1:09:57

suggests to me that you know

1:09:59

what Ireland much like the US

1:10:01

much like other places is facing

1:10:03

a very similar challenge. It's not

1:10:05

just the Rosie O'Donnell's they're getting,

1:10:07

right? They're really trying to hold

1:10:09

on to their culture and there's

1:10:11

some fear that they may not

1:10:13

be able to in this sort

1:10:15

of brave new world. Let's listen

1:10:17

to them on. I'm from Dublin,

1:10:19

but I come to Mayo every

1:10:21

weekend, but I wanted to talk

1:10:23

about what the situation is like

1:10:25

where I live, because you have

1:10:27

not seen what... with coming yet

1:10:29

and I have where I live

1:10:31

is about 85% foreign nationals. I

1:10:34

can walk down the street on

1:10:36

any given day, walk into the

1:10:38

supermarket and I don't hear an

1:10:40

Irish conversation. I hear foreign people

1:10:42

everywhere. My child is one of

1:10:44

30 children in her class and

1:10:46

she's the only Irish child. She

1:10:48

came home crying from school a

1:10:50

few weeks ago because she doesn't

1:10:52

understand what any of her friends

1:10:54

are saying. The children revert back

1:10:56

to their own languages when they're

1:10:58

not being taught. She literally cannot

1:11:00

understand the conversations around her. But

1:11:02

when Halloween came around there a

1:11:04

few months ago, last year she

1:11:06

was allowed to dress up. Sorry,

1:11:08

the year before last she was

1:11:10

allowed to dress up. This year

1:11:12

she wasn't allowed to dress up.

1:11:14

And when I asked school why,

1:11:16

they said they didn't want to

1:11:19

offend people. But I don't go

1:11:21

for a walk around the park

1:11:23

during the day with my child

1:11:25

anymore. I have a big dog

1:11:27

and I don't go for a

1:11:29

walk by myself anymore. I very

1:11:31

rarely leave my house because where

1:11:33

I live is so unsafe. And

1:11:35

that is the reality that you're

1:11:37

facing if you don't make a

1:11:39

stand. And I understand it's really

1:11:41

really hard to... you know, be

1:11:43

called names and all of these

1:11:45

things. But you have to stand

1:11:47

up on behalf of your children

1:11:49

and the future of the country.

1:11:51

The country's going to, the landscape

1:11:53

of this country is changing completely.

1:11:55

And if you're okay with that,

1:11:57

fine. I'm not okay with that.

1:11:59

I'm not okay with that for

1:12:01

my child. Please, please put your

1:12:04

children forth and your country forth

1:12:06

and just don't care what anyone

1:12:08

else thinks. So, I mean, it's

1:12:10

a message that, you know, if

1:12:12

you think about it, guys, we

1:12:14

have heard before, right? We have

1:12:16

heard that message over and over

1:12:18

again here in the US. We've

1:12:20

heard that message in the UK.

1:12:22

We've heard that message in Germany,

1:12:24

and now you're starting to hear

1:12:26

that in Ireland. And so, I

1:12:28

think it's, you know, it... People

1:12:30

are pushing back against this in

1:12:32

a pretty massive way, I think,

1:12:34

because we love who we are

1:12:36

as Americans, the Irish love who

1:12:38

they are, as Irish, the Brits

1:12:40

love who they are, and you

1:12:42

know what? You ought to be

1:12:44

able to love who you are

1:12:46

in your home country, and you

1:12:48

shouldn't have to change, right? Because

1:12:51

another culture comes in and demands

1:12:53

that you change. you are as

1:12:55

an American American first right and

1:12:57

I say that as an Irish

1:12:59

American who by the way appreciates

1:13:01

very much that Donald Trump just

1:13:03

made all of March Irish Heritage

1:13:05

Month how do you like that

1:13:07

I should be wearing green every

1:13:09

day right I'm looking forward to

1:13:11

St. Patrick's Day I have an

1:13:13

Irish step dancer in the family

1:13:15

so I'm sure we'll get quite

1:13:17

a show from her anyway lots

1:13:19

of parades lots of parades you

1:13:21

1:13:23

1:13:29

new names too as I look

1:13:31

1:13:33

1:13:38

same time for the show every

1:13:40

day but if you hit the

1:13:42

bell you know exactly when I'm
