BREAKING: Somali Fraudsters CAUGHT BRIBING JURORS with $120k CASH in 'Feeding Our Future' Trial

Well, Ilhan Omar is certainly in trouble

now. I mean, it's like one thing after

another. Her day just went from bad to

so much worse, right? Ladies and

gentlemen, a $120,000

cash bribe has just been exposed in her

district, Minneapolis. They were trying

to get some people, you know, maybe off

the hook. Plus, we just got word that

the president of the United States has

fired one Christy Gnome from DHS. We're

going to tell you about her replacement.

We're going to tell you about why the

president wanted this to go down. Plus,

the president also firing someone else

from his team, if you could call it his

team. One of his fans, well, maybe not

his biggest fan. Tucker Carlson is

getting slammed by the president. He

said, "Well, you know what? This guy,

he's really just not MAGA." Welcome to

the program. I am Trishan. So good to

have you here. Please make sure you

subscribe and tell your friends. My

other company, by the way, we're doing

great over here. Upwards of 1.2 million

subs. But take a look at this. Those are

some nice numbers, right? The president

talking about the market just a short

time ago. I'm going to get to that

momentarily, but my other company is

76research.com. I encourage you to go

check out that newsletter and hopefully

make a little money there. Our research,

not too shabby. Anyway, we begin today

on the $120,000 cash bribe that has just

been exposed in this whole feeding the

future, our future scandal. This is a

big story, guys. Okay, so you know the

drill. Ilhan Omar's district got $250

million a year taxpayer dollars courtesy

of her. Well, and all of us because we

didn't know about it. She introduced

this program and then what do you know?

Everybody's signing up in Minneapolis.

They all for the most part happen to be

of Somali descent and they they get this

racket going and they've all been

discovered. So now they're all getting

in trouble and they're all going to

jail. But uh somebody decided maybe we

can find a workaround, a way around this

and and it'll just take $120,000

cash. Listen to the report out of

Minneapolis right now.

>> These defendants

engaged in a chilling attack on our

justice system.

>> It's been three weeks since $120,000

in cash was dropped at the home of a

juror in the Feeding Our Future trial.

US Attorney Andy Luger describing it now

is a sophisticated scheme. and they

plotted carefully and deliberately

during the trial, waiting for the right

moment to act. Fortunately for all of

us, juror 52 could not be bought.

>> Charged are three of the feeding are

future defendants, Abdi Aziz Farra, his

brother Sed Farra, and Abdi Majid Nur.

Also charged are Abdul Karim Farra,

another brother seen here in an evidence

photo, and Leadan Ali, recruited to fly

in from Seattle, also seen in this

evidence photo. Ali's fingerprints were

found on the bag used to deliver the

bribe. Ali's rental car was seen waiting

for juror number 52 to leave after court

and then following her. License plate

readers found 19 times over 3 days Ali's

car was near the juror's home.

>> They studied her, followed her, and

determined that she would succumb to

their scheme.

>> Stuffed inside a water bottle in Abdaziz

Faras home was a typed list of the

juror's names. And though deleted, the

FBI still recovered evidence from

defendants phones, including text

messages arranging the bribe about

staking out the juror and a video of Ali

actually delivering the bribe. They also

found lengthy instructions to the juror

on how to convince others to vote not

guilty. And it heavily plays on race. We

are immigrants. It reads, "They don't

respect us and care about us."

>> In the indictment, it alleges that she

was targeted for two reasons. One, she

was young. And two, that they believed

she was the only juror of color. Yeah.

>> Okay. So, there you have it. We're back

to that again. Oh, you know, let's all

bond over color. And, you know, maybe

they can't come after us because we're

of color. Is that what you're supposed

to say now? Of color. I can't keep track

of it. I thought it was just, well,

African-American, Somali American, or

whatever. I digress. The point is, you

can't do that stuff. Not in the United

States of America. I mean, it's taking

him a while to get a little used to

this. I loved how Timmy Walls the other

day was trying to tell us that, well,

you know, culturally it's just sort of

different and we need to do a better job

of communicating to people that you

can't steal. I'm like, well, maybe you

should not be coming to this country.

Maybe we shouldn't be giving you

denaturalization status. Maybe we

shouldn't be giving you a green card or

asylum if you don't understand the basic

concept of let's not steal.

All right? I mean, it's kind of basic.

It it seems to me you don't have the

quite the the moral character that one

would want coming to this country if you

don't understand those basics. If Timmy

Walls has to lay it out for you.

Ilhan Omar was also caught saying,

"Well, you know, it was just so easy.

They made it so easy."

I'm sorry guys, that's no excuse.

No excuse at all. She's the one that

introduced the whole shebang. Okay. back

in 2020

on March 11th, right around the same

time that she decided to get married to

that Timmy Minet.

I wonder how much he had to do with

this. After all, he had been a campaign

worker, a campaign manager for her. And

they introduced this thing and the next

thing you know, every Tom Dick and Harry

or Muhammad and Ahmed and I'm running

out of names signed up. the Somali

restaurant owner that Ilhan decided to

have her big party when she celebrated

her win at he was part of this one of

her former campaign staffers he was part

of this I'm betting he knew from Timmy

Minette whom he worked with on Ilhan's

campaign that this thing was coming down

so these are just allegations of course

at this point but it's sort of amazing

to think that Ilhan Omar went from

negative50,000 to

30 million

in the span of a couple years soon as

she married to this this guy and as soon

as they came out with feeding our

future.

Oh, she she thinks she's the victim,

though. And of course, all the people in

her district are victims that stole $250

million.

Of the 87 people charged, all but eight

are of Somali descent. and that has

added to the spotlight being put

specifically on your community. Um, why

do you think this fraud was allowed to

get so widespread?

>> Well, I I want to say, you know, this

also has an impact um on uh Somali um

because we are also taxpayers in in

Minnesota. um we also could have

benefited from uh the the the program uh

and the money that that was stolen. Uh

and so it's been really frustrating for

people to to not acknowledge the fact

that we're you know we're also um as as

motans as taxpayers um really upset and

and angry about the fraud that has

occurred.

>> Please please please we're upset. No,

you know who's upset? We're all upset

because when you tally it all up, when

it's all said and done, we're talking

about $19 billion, ladies and gentlemen.

$19 billion.

And you know what? There are people that

have to go to jail for this. Not just

the fraudsters, but the people that look

the other way. I mean, certainly the the

person that introduced this, if it turns

out that she profited off of this in

some way, shape, or form, which I happen

to believe she did, then yeah, she's

going to go to jail, too. But you know

what? and probably be deported and

denaturalized along with it. But Timmy

Walsh, he's under fire. You saw the

hearings just yesterday. And Keith

Ellison, he's under fire. And our friend

Brandon Gil down in Texas, the

representative who happens to be my

friend Dus's son-in-law. I always have

to work that in because I love Desh and

I love his daughter and therefore I love

Brandon. Plus, I love what Brandon has

to say. Listen to Brandon Gill saying he

wants somebody in jail. What I'd like to

see is I'd like to see people going to

jail.

>> Yeah, we want that. Some more of it.

Okay. Brennan Gil again to the tune of

billions and billions of dollars that

you can commit fraud. You can defraud

American taxpayers. We're going to look

the other way and we expect you to vote

Democrat. That was sort of the bargain

that was made. I think we were able to

highlight that during this hearing. It

was very very clear what's been going on

for for a long time. This was not just,

you know, Governor Waltz not doing his

job. was much more sinister than that.

It was a way to buy off votes and it was

unbelievably corrupt. And again, we're

the ones who are footing the bill for

it.

>> He was pressed further by Rep. Byron

Donald's in that room. Watch.

>> We lowered the standards for proof of

administrative fraud. We lowered what it

took to show that fraud was happening.

>> And what did you do with the results of

lowering the standards to prove fraud to

prove fraud? What did you do?

>> Put 79 people in prison. And

>> well, Governor Walls, the fraud

continued to increase.

It increased under your tenure. Do you

acknowledge that?

>> Did the numbers increase? Yes.

>> Your takeaway from that?

>> Yes, of course the numbers increase. We

saw uh uh organizations such as some of

this uh autism centers where you saw

payments to Medicaid going up by 500

times over the course of his

administration. There were not 500 times

more autism patients during that period,

but that's what uh was being paid out. I

mean, this is so over the top. It's

really hard to wrap your head around how

egregious this was. And again, the

administration knew about it. They

didn't do anything. They went after

whistleblowers and we're paying for it.

I'm glad to see that Governor Walls

isn't running for reelection because

somebody who is that flagrantly corrupt

shouldn't be in any elected office. But

second of all, I think what we want to

see, and we're going to continue doing

this work, we're not done yet, is I'd

like to see prosecutions even more than

we've seen now. About 100 people have

been indicted so far. This was far, far

bigger than that. I mean, you had open

markets where uh different members of

the community were trying to see which

autism center they could get bigger

kickbacks from. I mean, this is so much

deeper than just what we were able to

get into in a short hearing one day. So,

what I'd like to see is I'd like to see

people going to jail. And I think that's

what the American people want to see.

>> You bet it's what the American people

want to see. Absolutely. A lot of people

are going to have to go to jail over

this. And I'll tell you if Keith Ellison

and Timmy Walls as the committee

concluded in fact deliberately looked

the other way because there were

political opportunities for them to do

so as in political funds for their

campaigns. Then boy oh boy oh boy do we

have a problem ladies and gentlemen a

huge huge problem. I want to get back to

Ilhan Omar. I want to talk about

Christine and that firing. But first

quick word from one of our great

sponsors here on the Trishan show. You

know, I keep saying I'm going to get my

website together. I've been working on

it thanks to these guys. Squarespace.

Squarespace.com.

You can get 10% off. Special offer I've

got for you there. Um, listen, if I can

do it, you can do it. One of the things

I like about Squarespace is that they

have all of these different kinds of

templates, including video, which

obviously I'm in the video business, so

I like video. And uh, regardless, you

know, I'm told I'm supposed to have a

website,

you know, and you probably need one,

too. So, I'm working on it. My big thing

is like if I have one, I want to know

how to use it. I've had one in the past.

I have one for 76 Research, but my uh

colleague Rob does a good job keeping

track of that one. I want one for this

show that I can put all my videos on,

that I can have my newsletter on, and

that I can work myself, right? Because

if push comes to shove and it's Saturday

night at 11:30 and news breaks and I

need to get it on, I need to know how to

do it. Thank you very much. Anyway, if

you're at all like me and you're

independent and want to be able to do it

all yourself, I'll tell you, they've got

great graphics. They've got great video

stuff, I encourage you to look at their

cuttingedge design. They have blueprint

AI. It's their AI enhanced design

partner, and you can choose from a

library of professionally designed

templates along with award-winning

websites. They got great SEO tools, and

they've got all kinds of domains that

you can purchase from them as well there

at Squarespace. So, I encourage you to

go take a look. You can head over to

www.squarespace.com/rian

re-an. That helps me and it helps you to

get 10% off your first purchase of a

website or domain. Again, using the code

rean

Ilhan Omar has been humiliated. Okay,

just humiliated. I don't know if you

guys saw this last night, but it was

pretty epic. Epic because, you know, she

deserves it. So, what happened? The

House

decided that they wanted to prevent the

president from be being able to take any

kind of strike as he did on Iran and so

they wanted to curb his war powers.

Well, it turns out that thing didn't go

through, but it didn't stop her from

trying. Okay, here's Ilhan Omar, guys.

Watch. is unilaterally dragging this

nation into an illegal and unjustified

war with Iran. As someone who survived

the horrors of war, I know that bombs do

not build peace or create stability.

Military strikes will not make us safer.

They will inflame tensions and push the

region further into chaos. Every time we

abandon diplomacy, we choose

destruction. We know who will bear the

costs of this decision. Innocent

civilians caught in the crossfire and

young service members sent into harm's

way. The American people are exhausted

by endless wars build on false promises

and paid for with American and foreign

lives. Congress must reassert its

constitutional authority. I urge my

colleagues to vote yes to stop US

involvement in another illegal forever

war. Thank you and I yield back.

>> Oh goodness. Well, you know what? They

voted no.

>> I'm from New York Reserve.

>> They voted no. So, sorry, Ilhan. You

know, sometimes we really question who

exactly you're working for because

doesn't really feel like us. No, doesn't

feel like us as at all at all. At all at

all. Um, if you haven't subscribed, make

sure that you do. Please do me that

favor. Big news today. Christy Gnome,

you know Ice Barbie, she's out. Done.

You're fired. The president said, "Wow,

this was a big big story, a huge news

development this afternoon." And you

know, some people kind of saw it coming

because once Tom Holman got in there, I

told you, you know, Tom's great and he's

steady Eddie and he kind of got

Minneapolis and Minnesota back in shape.

it kind of just exploded in this

humongous controversy as you well know.

We don't need to rehash all that but um

there are a few other reasons why the

president sought to get rid of Christine

Gnome today. So um again out as head of

homeland security. We'll talk about her

successor in just a moment. But I would

point out that again the president had

his concerns which we'll get to. He did

say, "I'm pleased to announce that the

highly respected US senator from the

great state of Oklahoma, Mark Wayne

Mullen, will become the US Secretary of

Homeland Security effective March 31st."

So, she's got a couple of weeks. The

current Secretary, Christine Gnome, has

served us well and has been uh at

numerous has had spectacular results,

especially on the border. We will be

moving to the special envoy of the

shield of America's whatever that is. I

guess our new security initiative in the

Western Hemisphere as we announced as we

are announcing on Saturday in Durell,

Florida. Um, okay. So, she's out. That

was uh quick. And then he goes on and on

about Senator Mullen. So, why is she out

now, you might ask? Well, you see, there

was this little hearing yesterday, and

we didn't really get into it because we

had a lot going on with the fraudsters

in that hearing yesterday, but this

hearing was kind of a big deal. And she

didn't do so well. I mean, it's it's

hard, right? Because they were just out

for blood. Let's be honest. They were

like, you know, sharks circling the

water and they were just out to get her.

And boy oh boy, they did. According to

the Wall Street Journal at the hearing,

Gnome told various senators that the

president had signed off on a big giant

ad campaign, hundreds of millions of

dollars where her picture would be

everywhere. You know, you go into an

airport, you see a picture of Christy,

you you go into anything. You see a p

picture of Christy, there's like a

social media campaign, there's a

television, whatever. They had

billboards, etc. And it cost a lot of

money. And not only did it cost a lot of

money, she hired her PR person's husband

to run the campaign.

So that's a little sus. I'm just saying.

I mean, you know, you all have your

friends, right? But this gets a little

bit tricky. You know, the next thing you

know, she's on a horse as though she's

like the Marbor man.

And so everybody was pouncing on this. I

mean, just listen to Jamie Raskin.

like a personal slush fund. You've

budgeted an astonishing $220 million for

media consultant contracts so you can

star in self-promoting photooots and

lavish ad campaigns like this one of you

riding horseback at Mount Rushmore.

>> I just want to linger on that picture.

Well, she looks great, right? She sure

looks great. By the way, I never meant

ice Barbie to be derogatory. I actually

think it's great to be compared to a

Barbie. Who wouldn't want to be compared

to a Barbie? And she's a beautiful

woman. Okay, if I do say she's a

beautiful woman. Anyway, the problem is

it can be sometimes misconstrued, right?

you know, if you're you're doing these

beauty glamour campaigns and well, we

have things not going so well in say the

state of Minnesota or there are other

issues and now you've got like a a

funding crisis with DHS not being in

operational right now. It kind of starts

to weigh on people and it wasn't just

the Dems, right, pointing this out. This

is the part that might have really done

her in because they started pushing her

on who was okay with this. Did the

president sign off on the $220 million

ad campaign all about Christie? Watch.

Senator

>> said, "Mr. President, here's some ads

I've cut and I'm going to spend $220

million

running them." That he would have agreed

to that. I don't think Russ vote

at OM would have agreed to that. I It's

something we have to defend. I'm on the

appropriations committee.

Um I I mean um my research shows that

you did not bid them out that you you p

in fact one of the people you picked the

strategy group I'm sorry Safe America

Media was a company formed 11 days

before

you picked them and that strategy group

got most of the money and the head of

that is

married to your former spokesperson. I'm

I'm

>> Look, we all have friends who are

qualified. I'm not quibling with that. I

I'm just It troubles me quarter

fifth to a quarter of a billion dollars

of taxpayer money when when we're

scratching for every penny and we're

fighting over recision packages.

Um uh I I just can't agree with Madam

Secretary. You

>> so she kind of had all sides going at

her and and that that that isn't great.

That that that's kind of a problem. Uh

by the way, one of the things that Kenny

was pointing out there, Senator Kennedy,

was that this PR company I I somehow I

missed this. I I don't know how like,

you know, I was traveling, you know, the

last couple of weeks and Trisha

Mclofflin, who I really liked, by the

way. I love Christy, too. Don't get me

wrong. And, you know, I I feel bad for

her. It's It's unfortunate, but

apparently her spokesperson's

husband was the one who got the bulk of

the money for this deal. And the

spokesperson, Trisha Mclofflin, actually

sort of quietly exited a couple of weeks

ago.

So, again, they're they're kind of

cluing in on this. And this seems to be

what the president is most upset about.

Watch. Two of them were inaccurate.

Madam Madam Secretary, I'll read from

the notice from your agency. Given the

immediate action to significantly reduce

illegal immigration and border

crossings, DHS invited, excuse me,

identified four companies.

>> Mhm.

>> Four. Of the hundreds of thousands of

companies in the United States, you

identified four. One of those is this

Safe America Media Company. Where is

Safe America Media headquartered?

>> I don't know.

>> I don't know either, Madam Secretary. We

can't find it. We can't find a website.

We did find an address that's registered

for this company. Do you know where that

address is?

>> Is there a problem with this contract?

>> I'll tell you, Madam Secretary, the the

address registered to a political

operative. Madam Madam Secretary, the

company and I'll give you an opportunity

to respond. The company is registered to

a political operative in Virginia. Do

you know just by way of example whether

this company that received $143 million

in taxpayer dollars has it ever done

work for the government before?

>> I don't know. I can't

>> The answer is it has not. And do you

know why we know that? Because it was

incorporated 8 days.

8 days before this contract went out.

You want the American people to believe

that this is all above board? that $143

million of taxpayer money just happened

to go to this one company that doesn't

have a headquarters, doesn't have a

website, has never done work for the

federal government before, and is

registered apparently or attached to a

residence from a political operative.

And of course, one of the subcontractors

of that contract, as you know, is a

political firm that's tied to to you

back when you were governor of South

Dakota. The reason why I asked these

questions is that this is taxpayer

money. And I presume, I don't know this

for a fact, but Senator Tillis noted

yesterday the way in which your agency

is blocking the inspector general from

11 different investigations that it is

trying to conduct. I don't know if this

happens to be one of them. I certainly

hope it is because eventually the facts

will become public in this regard. And

>> okay, so yeah, I mean in light of

everything that we're dealing with in

Minnesota, in light of the $80 billion

estimated to have gone up in smoke

thanks to fraud out in California,

concerns about fraud in Ohio and in

Maine. Look, Massachusetts, too. Oh, in

New York. Can't forget New York. Yeah,

they just opened an investigation the

other day into the Medicaid fraud they

believed to be going down in New York.

Look, under the circumstances, it's like

you got to be squeaky clean, okay? And

Donald Trump is not going to have a lot

of rope for you if you're not. I'm not

saying she wasn't, but it doesn't look

great, right? Like, it just doesn't look

good. Again, here is the story. I

believe this one or this is in Fox News.

DHS defends Mclofflin after allegations

her husband's company profited from this

ad. They're saying, "No, that's not

true. That's ridiculous. Totally

baseless." All right.

Well, then there's another issue going

on. Okay. And I hate to bring this up

because I I like both these guys, but it

became a bit of a spectacle in

yesterday's hearing as well. It was

really unfortunate to see, but she

didn't fully deny this alleged

relationship with one Cory Luwendowski.

I don't know. I don't really care. But

for some reason, the Democrat attacking

her made this a big line of questioning.

And and I want you to see the results.

Fireworks.

>> You've called Cory Lwendowski a special

government employee. I understand what

government means. I understand what

employee means. Okay. But I don't know

what makes him special. Now, I I want to

give you an opportunity to to to answer

on the record to uh Miss Cam Logger

Dove's question. I know you said it's

garbage and it may be, but I I really

think you need to say the word no into

the record so that you can clear that

up.

>> I think the ridiculousness of this and

the tabloids that you are quoting and

referencing are insane. And this has

been something that I've refuted for

years and I continue to do that. What I

would tell you is what we can move on.

I'm not going to blavorver it if it's

>> this is this is what you do.

>> I'm not doing anything. liberal left is

you go off and you attack conservative

women and you say that we're either

stupid.

All right, so listen, that's what you

do. Yesterday, Richard, reclaiming my

time, Mr. Chairman, Mr. Chairman,

reclaiming my time. You were asked by

Richard Blumenthal yesterday, you were

asked, you were asked by Richard

Blumenthal yesterday if Cory was

involved in improving contracts. You

said no. Do you want to correct that?

>> What I would say is that he has an

adviser to the Department of Homeland

Security has no decision. You want to

correct it? Yes or no? No, you don't

want to correct it. Fine.

Not a problem. According to one of the

FEMA administrators that you fired,

there is nothing including contracts

that is brought to you that he hasn't

reviewed. In fact, a significant amount

of DHS internal routing documents has

his signature on it above deputy

secretaries. Okay? That former FEMA

administrator wasn't fired by you, the

secretary. He was fired by Corey. It was

Cy that called him into your office. It

was Cy that made him to submit to a

polygraph test. the $100,000 spending

rule that you created that comes to your

desk. You're not even sitting at your

desk. It's Cy who's sitting there. ISIS

said the Republican should be happy at

the job that you're doing. Really,

you're looking at the person who

single-handedly took the president's

signature core issue, immigration, the

issue that got him elected from 59% to

39%. 200 miles of border walls being

held up by you. They had to bring in Tom

Hullman, pull pull out of Minnesota. I

think the country needs a a national

divorce from you on biblical grounds. I

mean, if Donald Trump was still

apprentice Trump, he would look at you

and he would realize you're the weakest

cabinet member and he would fire you.

And if the president said to you that

only way DHS could reopen is if you

resigned, I hope you would take him up

on it. Now, I want to end on a happy

note, Mr. Chairman, real quickly.

>> This just makes me wish he kept her.

What a little schmuck that guy is. So

Corlandowski, according to the Wall

Street Journal, he had a pretty heated

conversation with the president last

night following that testimony.

According to the White House, she'd

apparently lost the confidence of pretty

much everyone in the senior aid

department. So I'm thinking like Susie

Wilds and maybe JD, etc. uh they were

sort of left totally baffled by her

management skills or her lack of

management skills, but perhaps most

especially by her empowerment of one Mr.

Luwendowski. On top of it all, there was

the private jet.

>> Could you explain this?

>> Sir, I'm looking at a picture of an

interior. Looks like a bedroom

>> of an airplane.

>> Mhm. Yes, sir.

>> You're not familiar with that?

>> These photos are not accurate. If you're

referring to the airplanes that the

Department of Homeland Security has

purchased and are purchasing, uh we're

using them uh for uh long range command

and control aircraft. That is dictated

in statute by Congress for the

Department of Homeland Security to have

a plane

>> luxury jet with a bedroom in it.

>> Yeah, we used a 737. I've been on it

once, but it is being used by other

administration officials and it is used

for command and control flights for the

department. The department has found

that in purchasing our aircraft that we

will save the taxpayers hundreds of

millions of dollars. Does it have a

bedroom in it? In fact, we spent 142

billion dollar on ICE deportation

flights.

>> Does it have a bedroom in it?

>> Uh I believe it's being refurbished and

not having a bedroom in it. So, it is

being refurbished.

What kind of

>> this?

>> What kind of deport

justifies being flown out of the country

in a luxury jet with a bedroom and

accommodations like this?

>> There are aircraft being purchased that

will be utilized for executive air

travel and for deportations. If you

remember in the past we have used

>> we have used jets of this size in this

configuration.

>> This really bugged me. Okay, it just

guys it really did bug me.

Look, few things going on. One, yeah,

you probably shouldn't be the the

centerfold in the campaign, right?

You know what I mean? I mean, the ad

campaign can't all be about you.

So, that was mistake number one. Mistake

number two was everything that unfolded

and the way it was handled in Minnesota.

A lot of people felt like she was too

focused on looking great on the raids

and not focused enough on getting the

illegal migrants out of the country. So,

that was one of the criticisms. And

look, it's hard, right? Like, she's a

woman. She's got to look good. Like, I

get it. I want to look good, too. But

the concern was there was like too much

lip gloss and not enough focus on

substance. You had Corey Luwendowski

there kind of running the show as

opposed to her, right? like she should

be in charge, but she kind of de facto

made him in charge. So that ruffled a

lot of feathers and then you got a

situation now where yeah, you know, DHS

is shut down and they're not able to do

their work. And so the the frustration

is is being felt certainly by the

president. And I like I said, I I I

might have waited a few more days, maybe

even a few more weeks after seeing those

Democrats because they were just so

rabid and they were so out for blood and

that would just make me mad and that

makes me want to protect my people even

more. But, you know, he's reassigning

her. I see you guys are like upset

because I think the lower the Chiron the

lower third said she's fired. Well, she

you know she's she's out. She It's not

exactly a vote of confidence, guys. I

mean, he's not quote unquote putting her

out on her you know what. She's got some

other little gig she'll go after off to.

But it's not great. It's not great. It's

not great for her. It's not great for

Corey. But you know who it is great for?

You know who it is great for? The new

guy. We're talking about one Senator

Mullen

watch.

>> Super excited about it. Humbling. That's

the best way I can say. It's super

humbling.

>> Have you talked to Secretary Gnome yet?

Did you

>> I haven't. I'm actually neither one of

us had time to talk. So, I'm going to go

uh give her a call in just a second. You

know, we're our families are very close

and this happened very quick. So, uh

we're going to we're going to go have a

conversation with her in just a second.

>> Does the president say anything about

what he would like you to do in this job

that Nome is not? I will never discuss

private conversations. Never have. I'm

not going to do that now either. But

we're super excited about the

opportunity and we're going to, you

know, do the best we can. We're going to

get Department of Homeland Security

making sure that we stay focused on

protecting the homeland and no matter if

you support me, you don't support me,

um, I'm going to be laser focused on

getting that done.

>> Okay. So, there you have it. New

Homeland Security Director. Um, it's not

changing anything as far as Chuck

Schumer is concerned, though. You know,

he said, "We're still not going to

release any funding." Here he is minutes

ago.

>> The president uh has fired Christy Noom.

Good riddance, but the problems at this

agency, ICE,

transcend any any one person. The rot is

deep. They the president has to end the

violence and reign in ICE.

>> Would you what would you need to confirm

Secretary uh Senator Mullen to this

position? Do you need assurance? This is

a problem of policy, not personnel. The

rot is deep. No one person can

straighten this up until the president

changes the whole agency, stops the

violence, and reigns in

>> Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come

on. You want me to go pull the tape from

199 something when you were like, "We

need more policing of migrants. We've

got to close our borders and we need we

need IDs." Yeah, that that was Chuck

Schumer back in the day. We need IDs for

everyone. Wow. Wow. Wow. Anyway, you get

it. This is, you know, politics as

usual. It's such an icky job, isn't it?

It's such a bad, lousy, thankless job.

And everybody's out to get you. And it's

it's a tough it's a tough uh roto ho,

shall we say? Um, you know who else is

kind of on the outs these days?

Someone's really on the outs these days,

but I guess it's of his own doing. That

would be one. Mr. Tucker Carlson, the

guy who I used to have a show opposite.

I was on Fox Business. He was on Fox

News at 8:00.

He he doesn't seem to always um

really like what the president's doing,

including what's happening in Iran.

I have my own suspicions about that, as

to why that is. Maybe it's viewership.

Maybe it's well, I don't quite want to

say, but I I I I I don't understand it,

but you know, he's entitled to have his

opinion. He apparently is very vocal

with his opinion and decided to talk to

ABC News as all of this went down just

last weekend. The president did not

appreciate this after he told Jonathan

Carl the following. Listen,

>> I've reached out to several of the

president's most prominent supporters in

his movement to get the reaction to this

momentous decision to launch a widescale

attack on Iran. I just heard back from

Tucker Carlson. Tucker Carlson, of

course, spoke at the president's

convention in 2024. He's been a frequent

visitor at the White House. In fact, he

was at the White House just last week.

So, I wanted to know what Tucker Carlson

uh who has long opposed the idea of

another war in the Middle East, what he

thought of this. And his uh answer he

told me of president the president's

decision is quote absolutely disgusting

and evil. This is Tucker Carlson who was

at the White House just last week said

that the decision to go to war with Iran

is absolutely disgusting and evil. Now,

that's just one person, a prominent one

in Trump's movement, but this is a

momentous and potentially defining or

maybe redefining move for President

Trump. He got into politics in part

promising to end what he called forever

wars. He was harshly critical of the war

with Iraq. He claimed that he had always

been against it. and now he finds

himself um starting what could be a

major conflict with Iran.

>> Okay. So, yeah, Tucker's getting his

10 seconds of fame. I guess he's like,

"Oh, I'm going to do the opposite of

whatever the president likes and then,

you know, I'll get a lot of attention

and the left-wing media will just love

me for it and they'll be able to use all

these comments." I make a little tiny

comment to ABC News and the next thing

you know, it's all over their newscast.

I got the reporter, you know, it's like

a print comment. So the reporter goes on

and said, "I heard this from him." Wow.

Anyway,

the president didn't appreciate it. And

this little ABC reporter, he's like

having a field day, right? He's like, I

talked to Tucker and now, oh, I just

talked to the president of the United

States. in quote a lengthy conversation

according to him. So this just came out

minutes ago. He puts on his ex platform

quote in a lengthy conversation just

now. President Trump hit back at Tucker

Carlson who called the Iran war quote

absolutely disgusting and evil. The

president said, and I quote, "Tucker has

lost his way. I knew that a long time

ago and he's not MAGA. MAGA is saving

our country. MAGA is making our country

great again. MAGA is America first. And

Tucker is none of those things.

And Tucker is really not smart enough to

understand that.

Do you agree with President Trump?

Does Tucker Carlson not have the

interests of MAGA at heart?

I never thought he did, frankly. I never

thought he did. And I say that as

someone who works with him, I think

Tucker does whatever's good for Tucker,

right? If it works for him for ratings,

if it gets him a little attention,

that's all he cares about. That's a lot

of what all these people only care

about. They only care about one thing.

Ratings. Sensation. Attention, right?

They want all the attention. They walk

into the room and they want everybody

looking at them. Oh my gosh, he couldn't

stand. I remember we were at Fox at the

same time. And

I was always told, you know what, you

cannot take the president's speech if

Tucker's taking the president's speech.

And I was like, I want to take the

president's speech because, you know,

for me, that was like a good night. That

was like a home run on ratings. Like I'd

be set for the month after all everybody

would tune in to me. And Tucker never

wanted to take the speech. No, because

what did I say? Attention. Right. Like

me me me me me me me me me me me me me

me me me me me me me me me me me me me

me me me me me me me me me me me me me

me me me me me me me me me me me me me

me me me me me me me me me me me me me

me me me me me me me me me me me me me

me me me me me me me me me me me me me

me me me me me me me me me me me. That's

how you have to understand what these

personalities are, especially the men.

Okay, the men are always the worst. Full

disclosure like there's something always

a little about a guy who wants to be on

television for a living like that. Just

telling you. So he would be like, I

don't want Tucker. I don't want the

president on TV. You know, it's my show.

I made this beautiful show. And so I'd

say, I'll take him.

And then this team would get all mad

because what do you know? we beat him in

the ratings. Of course, the the people

only wanted to see Donald Trump.

So then, lo and behold, they'd tell me,

"Well, you can't take them. Tucker can't

take them because he doesn't want to

take him, and you can't take him because

we're not going to let you take him."

So, I'm like, "Well, I'm up a creek

without a paddle, ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you very much. I'm sure he's a

nice guy. I think he's just all about

him." Because if you think about this

here, he is telling Jonathan Carl that

this is absolutely and disgusting and

evil that we bombed Iran. But you know,

if you look back in the archives on this

little show that we all used to go on

called Redeye, Greg Gutfell used to have

this show on Fox. Well, just a couple

years ago, he was saying this.

>> I do think I'm sure I'm a lone voice in

saying this. I think Iran deserves to be

annihilated. I think they're lunatics. I

think they're evil.

>> You do? Huh? You don't say.

You think they deserve to be

annihilated. You think they're evil.

Until, of course, Donald Trump does it.

And you see an opportunity. You and

Marjorie Taylor Green. Oh, maybe you

guys can run. Oh, that's a winning

ticket. Not Tucker and MTG

taking on MAGA. I can see it now. Flop.

Bad. Bad flop.

But for egoomaniacs, you see, they see

this as an opportunity. And if you ask

me, frankly, it comes down to attention

and grifting.

There's money in it somewhere along with

attention. And so this is why you see

these kinds of people doing these kinds

of things right now. But, you know, I I

agree with the president. He never was

MAGA. He was only Tucker.

So think about that. I mean the

consistency of President Trump for

example in contrast where he's always

felt the same on these issues over and

over and over and over again throughout

the decades. Whereas what I just showed

you,

you see some people are very very fickle

because it depends where the dollar

signs are and where the attention is and

where the clicks are

and they go wherever they think they can

be the star attraction.

But, you know, his time might be running

out because I'll tell you, it's kind of

funny. He's actually humiliated in all

of it because did you see the new poll?

Wow. This is one heck of a poll. Ladies

and gentlemen, Republicans love Donald

Trump more than any president's own

party supporters loved him at this

particular point. Just take a look here,

okay? Own party supporters, 21st century

president's own party approval. About at

this point in the second term, Bush was

at 77%. Obama was at 77%. Look at this.

86%

of Republicans approve of the job that

Donald Trump is doing at this point.

That is higher than either Obama or Bush

had within their own party at this

point. Trump's magic touch has not seem

to wore off yet when it comes to the

Republican base.

>> And what kind of approval are we talking

about here?

>> Okay, so we're talking about overall

approval here. How about the strongly

approved? The strongly approved. Not

just like, but love. Love. Okay, we're

going to look at these same presidents

again. strong approval among your own

party's base. What you see here is Trump

is the only one who gets a majority at

this point in their presidency. Obama

was at 48%, Bush was at 47%. You see

here Trump at 53%. Not as high as his

overall approval rating, but still

getting a majority of the Republican

base, at least in the average of polls,

to say that they still really, really,

really like him. Okay,

>> they sure do. Okay. So, all the more

reason for somebody like Tucker to be

kind of embarrassed about his viewpoint

right about now. I mean, I don't know

who he's playing for. He thinks

Democrats are going to watch him. Maybe

he can poach a little bit of audience

off of Don Lemon. Or maybe, better yet,

Jim Acasta, you know, you can go for all

50,000 of his viewers. That's what I'm

thinking.

Here's the deal. 98%

of people who identify as MAGA

love what the president has done and

they are still a thousand% with the

president. Are you with President Trump?

I'm with President Trump. You better

believe. And look, I'll call him out if

I think something's a little sketchy.

You know that. I It's not like It's not

like I'm here to, you know, do his

dishes or anything. Like I I'll tell you

what I think. The problem is I don't

think Tucker knows what he thinks. I I

don't think Tucker thinks. I don't think

he cares. And I think the same thing

with the whole lot of them that are

doing this. MG, you throw her in there.

Somebody mentioned Candace. Gosh, I'd

never watch her. I just She's She's

frighteningly strange. Um, but all of

them are cut from the same cloth

and I got no use for it. Like, you

either have an opinion because you have

some inner conviction.

You don't do this for ratings. Okay,

granted, yes, it's a business, whatever,

but you got to have some moral fiber.

Otherwise, what do you stand for? Why

should anybody tune in to watch it?

Because you're going to say one thing

one day and something else the next

because it doesn't matter. It's where

ever the wind blows you.

Lightweights, as I would call them,

total lightweights that just care about

their hair and makeup.

I mean, he worked those little bow ties

for years now, didn't he? until somebody

told him it really wasn't a good look

and it wasn't.

Anyway,

you you keep working on that. Maybe MTG

will run as your VP, Tucker Carlson.

I'll tell you this. Uh there's a a lot

happening right now and it's all for the

the betterment of the world and the

betterment of the country. Donald

Trump's move in Iran is a game changer.

It it kind of just changes everything

right now. And I mean everything. I want

to go to the White House. He was just

speaking moments ago about oil. Don't

forget straight to Hermoose, right? And

Iran is getting kind of sharp elbows

there in the straight of her and they're

making all kinds of threats. Well, the

president said we're going to offer

insurance so that those boats can go

through and as soon as our navy has the

ability to do it, we'll make sure that

we escort the boats through ourselves.

So that's kind of a game changer. That

helps tremendously in terms of not

slowing down world commerce. Let's go to

the president speaking at the White

House.

>> Further action to reduce pressure on oil

is eminent and the oil seems to have

pretty much stabilized. We had it very

low, but I had to take this little

detour if it's okay with everybody.

Scott, it's okay with you. Scott's the

one has to put up with it. He said, "You

have to do this now." I said, "I have to

do it, Scott." Right. But it's been very

strong and everybody, including Scott,

everybody feels we had really no choice.

It was going to they were going to hit

us if we didn't hit them.

>> Yeah. I mean, so, so what do you want

them to do? Okay, I keep going back to

this. You want to sit there and allow

for a nuclear Iran? I mean, I realize

some people, like the lady over on CNN

that I played to the other day, what is

her name? She has like a 9:00 or 10:00

show. I just know it as the Scott

Jennings show because he's the only one

of any interest over there. Scott

Jennings does this show where he takes

on like five or six people, sometimes

eight, and they're all these crazy libs,

and he's out there pow pow pow knocking

them all down. And she's like, "Well,

how what's changed? How is this any

different? I mean, they've been bombing

our our embassies for years, right?" And

and he's like, "Yeah, and you're okay

with that?" Look, no one's okay with

that. Take a look at this, ladies and

gentlemen. The new Fox poll on my

screen. 61%

of Americans say yes.

True. Iran poses a real security threat

to the United States of America. You

don't have to be a rocket scientist to

understand that one. That's pretty darn

obvious. And yet you have these people,

like I said, over on some of these other

networks

like CNN that that just seem to be

living in La La Land. like it's okay.

Like, you know, why are we doing this

now? We're doing this now because we

have intelligence that suggests they are

very, very close to a nuclear weapon.

And by the way, if you don't trust what

the president's saying, why don't you go

look at what

NATO is saying, the head of NATO coming

out and saying, "Yeah, they were super

close." And thank goodness for the

president of the United States for

taking action on this one. Let's go to

the CNN clip as promised.

>> He's been talking to the press. He has

not suggested that there was an

imminent. He he absolutely has said that

there's an imminent threat of them

having ballistic missiles that they were

a possibly planning to shoot at US

military installations b and in the

short and medium term continuing to

manufacture ballistic missiles that

would allow them to shield uh a nuclear

program that they would not give up.

This is a pretty clear rationale.

>> Let me play that the bottom line is they

don't want them to have ballistic

missiles. They don't want them to have a

nuclear program. They don't like that

their navy makes trouble for everybody

in the Gulf. And that is the stated

rationale. You could throw on other

things. For the last 47 years, they have

killed American troops. They've maimed

American personnel. They've exported and

funded terror around the world and

around the region. And you seem to be

suggesting we have no allies in this. I

watched the president with the

chancellor of Germany today. He strongly

supports what we're doing. The UK is

feckless. Spain is feckless. But we have

plenty of allies in the region and

around the world who know we have done

the right.

>> To be clear, I just want to just re you

just listed a bunch of things. None of

them were an imminent attack. But

Reena's question is actually

>> ballistic missiles. Abby drones. These

are imminent attack weapons.

>> What proof is there that there were

ballistic missiles that they actually

had ballistic missiles that could reach

the United States?

>> Reach US bases. What? Look at your

television. They're falling right now.

>> Iran Iran has Iran has been attacking

through their proxies US military bases

for some time now. Okay. You want to

keep that going?

>> The argument The argument that that that

the administration may be making

sometimes is that they might have had

capabilities to attack the United

States. What about that is imminent?

>> Are you all

are you all arguing that they are not

were not prepared and are not currently

firing?

>> Here's what

>> missiles and drones into things.

>> It's not bad. I mean, everybody

understands the threat of Iran. It's

been there uh to to quote Tom Cotton for

47 years. The question is what changed

in the last we got a president that had

the last question that everybody

changed.

>> All right. By the way, 4747. Isn't that

kind of interesting? The threat has been

there for 47 years. And believe me, it

has with these radical extremists and

the Ayatollah and his mullas. And it has

been there for 47 years. But guess what?

The 47th president of the United States

of America came around and said, "No,

we're done.

not going to be there anymore.

Check this out. We're using methods we

have not used since World War I. Ladies

and gentlemen, US submarine unleashes a

method not seen since World War I on

Iranian target in the Indian Sea. It is

game over and it is going to change the

world. And Conda Rice even knows this. I

want to go to some sound from Condisa

Rice, you guys, former Secretary of

State, because she spent a lot of time

looking at Iran and she tried herself to

negotiate four different treaties. She

did negotiate four different treaties,

but guess what? They kept building up

and building up and building up and then

they'd wait for the next negotiation.

Give me, give me, give me, give me. What

can I get? Well, Barack Obama came along

with 56 billion dollars. Not bad. And

then we had Biden who came along with

six. But think about what happened to

$56 billion. They had our soldiers

there. I just saw somebody has a son in

the Navy. God bless your son. God bless

you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you to

every member of our military. God bless

you and all of their families. We love

you and we are so thankful for you.

Anyway, they had them up with their

hands up over their heads. I don't want

to show the video because it's too

distressing, but you know exactly what

I'm talking about. And this is after

Barack Obama gave them the 56 bill. Oh,

they'll say, "Well, you didn't give it

to us because it was really our money."

Well, guess what? We had sanctioned you,

so we had the money and we weren't going

to release it. But you said, "Oh, we

promised we'll get rid of our nuclear

weapons." Well, you weren't getting rid

of your nuclear weapons. So, Donald

Trump came along, he tore up that deal.

Then Biden comes in and he's like,

"Well, here you go. I got six billion

for you." And the next thing you know,

October 7th happens. So, these are

people that you cannot trust. As Condisa

Rice so well knows, here she is speaking

with my former colleague Brett Bear on

Fox.

>> I myself negotiated four Security

Council resolutions, calling them a

threat to international peace and

security under Chapter 7, the strongest

chapter of the UN Security Council

resolutions uh because of their nuclear

ambitions. So to say that this uh regime

was not a threat I think is seem like

simply not um it's it's ahistorical.

They have been a threat for a long time.

You better believe they've been a threat

for a long time. A really really long

time. And it's like anybody with any

common sense knows that. Right. I want

to go back to Conna Rice because she

went a step further. I've interviewed

her a couple times before and

she she has a way of saying things in a

very calm. You can tell she was the

secretary of state. I'd be a terrible

secretary of state BECAUSE I'D BE WOO

all the time, right? I get too excited

and my Irish keeps getting up. I I'm

still trying to work on that.

Anyway, um I I I'd be better at an

economic job anyway, let's be honest.

So, she she's so calm, cool, and

collected. But I want to point out that

she's saying we need to render Iran

incapable. I mean, she says it so

smoothly. It like goes by just like

that. Render Iran incapable

for good.

Here we go. Former Secretary of State

Kandandy Rice. Uh but I think if the

goal of the administration uh is to

render Iran incapable of using its

military forces uh outside of its

borders, of threatening our neighbors,

our our allies, of threatening our bases

abroad, which we're seeing uh they are

capable of doing. If it is uh trying to

deny them a conventional umbrella for

their nuclear ambitions, uh I that is a

worthy uh goal. Now uh what comes after

people are of course concerned about

that but if you can render Iran

essentially incapable of military action

against us and against our allies that's

uh worthy and I think what they're

trying to do is to neuter Iran as a

military power in the region.

>> Yeah. And it needs to happen. I'm

looking in the comments and hey Clive

did you see I got your point in there.

47 baby, right? Clive was making this

comment in uh one of the videos just

last night that it's fascinating how

it's 47 and 47. I was like, "Wow, this

is such a great point. Really

interesting." But I'll tell you, you

know, everybody's feeling the pain right

now. China's feeling the pain. Russia is

feeling the pain and they should feel

the pain because guess what? We just

found a new way to diversify

ourselves and ensure safety in the

Middle East. And when I say diversify,

I'm talking in part what we've been able

to do visav Venezuela, for example, as

well as our pumping of our own oil right

here. And we've effectively just shut

off their big oil source. China was

getting 25% of its oil from the likes of

Venezuela and Iran. And they were

getting it on the cheap, right? So on

the super cheap because we had

sanctioned it. So they basically would

undercut the market and say, "Hey, we

we'll pay for you $15 a barrel or

something." and China didn't really uh

you know they were a good negotiator and

suddenly Iran didn't really have a

choice and Venezuela didn't really have

a choice and so they would sell their

oil on the cheap and now all of a sudden

China doesn't have any cheap oil anymore

Peter Schwitzer explaining this one out

last night

>> the fact that now we control anything

that ships out of that straight so much

oil flows out of that straight to the

whole world the fact that we now control

it what does that do to China

uh it it now means we have a chokeold uh

on the straight. Um look, assume that

China wanted to move on Taiwan, right?

There's a military response, but now we

have a massive energy response, which is

we simply don't allow any tankers to

ship oil from the Persian Gulf through

the straight of Hormuz. Uh we can do it.

Uh it might have been a little bit dicey

had we not taken out the Iranians. uh

that's roughly half of their oil. 40 to

50% of their oil is now suddenly not

available to them. So those are enormous

uh methodologies. And look at what

happens in terms of military technology.

Jesse, uh China provided their most

advanced air defense capabilities to

Iran. We completely destroyed them. They

didn't shoot down one American or

Israeli uh plane. This is reminiscent of

1982 when the Israelis flying F-15s went

up against the Syrians flying MiGs and

the Israelis beat them 81 aircraft to

zero. What happened after that? They

couldn't give the MiGs away. So, China

now has the problem that their military

technology is not recognized as being up

to par of the United States. That's

going to have huge implications with a

whole ho host of other countries. All

right. So,

>> so that's an interesting component to

all of this as well. So, we just showed

China what we're capable of doing,

right? We showed them in Venezuela, we

can just go and get Maduro any which

time we want. And we just showed them we

can just take out the Ayatollah just

like that. I mean, it's a little more

complicated, right? When you get to,

forgive me, when you get to Iran visav

Venezuela because there are, you know,

so many more different factions and

there's so much bigger and there's more

going on. But I'm just going to tell

you, look, we have taken out all their

air defense. So now we're able to move

in. The Kurds are moving in. Apparently,

we've got some deals, courtesy of our

CIA with the Kurds, and the Kurds don't

like the Ayatollah regime, including the

Sun that just took over. By the way, for

like the group that didn't want the

monarch, what the heck? You got the Sun

in there now? Didn't they get rid of the

Sha because they didn't like the

monarchy? It's a different kind of

monarchy than you have in say Great

Britain. It's a monarchy where it's

basically a FFT. you know, this this

group of thugs comes in and if they win

and they're the strongest and the best,

they take over and the other thugs go

away. Yeah. That that's their their

monarchy and then they keep it up for as

many generations as they can. Well, this

group of thugs

led by most recently the the Ayatollah

that is no more. Uh they have now kind

of a monarchy too because the sun is

taking over for now. I say for now

because now you get the Kurds going in.

They're excellent, excellent, excellent

fighters. They don't have the religious

zealot kind of thing going on. They they

actually are are made up of a whole

bunch of different religions and they

have sort of an ethnicity commonality

because of language and other cultural

things that are relative to where they

live. They actually span four different

countries including Syria, Iran, Iraq,

and um I'm missing one. Turkey. Turkey.

That's kind of an important one. Don't

want to miss that because you know we

could probably create a little country

for him if it wasn't for Turkey. Turkey

gets all upset the minute you talk about

that. Anyway, the point being we have

just sent this huge message to the world

and and I got a kick out of the

president last night just singing the

praises of Deli Rodriguez down in

Venezuela. Nice woman. I've interviewed

her twice. I mean, nice other than the

fact that she's a total commie and that

she was working for Maduro. But, you

know, my sources tell me she's she's not

bad. She gets the job done. And hey, we

need somebody who can get the job done

down in Venezuela. Doug Burman went

down, our energy secretary, to visit

her. Guess what, ladies and gentlemen?

We are pumping like you wouldn't

believe. And we're sending twice as many

barrels of oil to the United States from

Venezuela than ever before. Take a look

at the two of them down there to

show. I do speak Spanish.

Lot better than AOC, by the way. Um, so

anyway, there's Doug and there's Deli

talking and you can see they're they're

having a kumbaya moment there at the uh

the palace in Venezuela, Mir Flores, as

it's known. And the president is loving

her. He actually sent out a note there

last night. Let me see if I can pull

this one up. I got a kick out of it. I

was like, "Wow, he's really singing her

praises." And he's singing her praises,

you see, because she's doing what he

needs her to do. Proving that, hey, you

know what? We're happy to get along with

you. You just need to play by our rules

and you play by our rules and we will

celebrate you. Here we go. A nice little

one for Delsey Rodriguez. Here he

writes, "Delie Rodriguez, who is the

president of Venezuela, is doing a great

job and is working with US

representatives right very well. The oil

is beginning to flow and the

professionalism and dedication between

both countries is a very nice thing to

see. What a nice message from Donald J.

Trump. See, Maduro, that's all you had

to do. You just had to act like a

professional. Deli is a professional.

She's getting the job done. And in the

meantime, we got China worried and we

got Russia worried. And this is why I

say the world is never going to be the

same. Thank you very much, Donald Trump.

We're going to be safer. We're going to

be stronger. And China is going to have

to deal with it. Let's go to You see,

I'm getting so excited. I'm almost

losing my voice. We We're going to be in

a much better place. We really will. I

promise you that. Make sure you go to 76

research so you can invest in that much

better place. Anyway, here is Vladimir

Putin

saying he's got to get creative

because we just shocked them all.

>> Okay. He said, you know, maybe it's

better for us to end supplies. I'm

sorry, I don't speak Russian to the

European market right now. to go to

those markets that are opening right now

and to get a foothold there. And here

too, there's I want to be clear, no

political motive, but if they shut us

down in a month or two, he says,

wouldn't it be better to stop now and

move to those countries that are

reliable partners,

and consolidate our position there? So,

he's saying, hey, maybe we don't give as

much oil, natural gas to Europe anymore.

Maybe we diversify and we send all of

our natural gas to China. But here's the

thing. Guess who's in control of the

Straight of Hormuse?

Okay, that would be the United States of

America.

I mean, basically, we're almost there.

The Straight of Hormuse, that's the uh

the area where 20% of the world's supply

of oil goes through every single day. I

think I have a handy little graphic.

What do you know? Take a look at that,

guys. Okay. So, I drew drew a nice

little red line here. You've got the

Arabian Gulf right by Dubai, of course,

and then the Gulf of Oman and the the

country that you're looking at, you see

where the yellow is with the highlighter

that where it says straight of Hormuz,

that would be Iran. But since we're now

sort of running the show, if you would

in Iran, well, I don't think much oil is

going to get through the straight of

Hormuse without our permission.

So that just changed the equation in a

big huge way for both China and Russia.

That's pretty massive

and pretty um chesslike. Chesslike

because you think about how this was all

staggered out. By the way, they gave

them plenty of chances. It's not like we

heard Marco Rubio say, "Look, they had

their shot. We went back to them and

back to them and back to them and look,

Steve Wickoff, I played you that sound

in yesterday's show. Go listen to that

if you haven't heard it. In yesterday's

program, I played Steve Witkoff who was

running these negotiations alongside

Jared Kushner and he said, "Look, you

know, we went to them to negotiate and

what was the first thing we heard?" This

was great. What was the first thing we

heard? We heard, "Oh, well, we have um

this much uranium." It was quite a bit

and it's already uh it's already at 60%.

And so the problem with that is they

were effectively like a few months away

from being able to take it to full

capacity. And so that actually cannot

happen, right? I repeat that cannot

happen. And so they had to do something

about it and we did. We happened to have

this window of opportunity because of

the intelligence that Israel had

gathered with us and we took it. But

listen, don't kid yourself. They've been

thinking about this and talking about

this for a while. And it's not just

Condo Rice who said, "Look, you can't

trust these guys." Um, a lot of people

have said this over the years, including

our current Secretary of State, Marco

Rubio. I want to go back to 2011. I

appreciate the consistency here. Listen

to Marco Rubio in 2011 saying, you know,

we got to do something. Watch

>> of this deal have already been said. I

do want to be recorded for history's

purposes before I know what what is

going to happen in regards to this. If

it goes through, Iran will immediately

use the money that it's receiving in

sanctions relief to begin to build up

its conventional capabilities. It will

establish the most dominant military

power in the region outside of the

United States. And it will raise the

price of us operating in the region.

They're going to build anti-access

capabilities, rockets capable of

destroying our aircraft carriers and

ships. Uh continue to build these swift

boats that are able to come on us, these

fast boats that are able to swarm our

naval assets. and they'll make it harder

and harder for US troops to be in the

region. They'll also work with other

terrorist groups in the region to target

American servicemen and women. And they

may or may not deny that they're

involved, but they will target us and

raise the price of our presence in the

Middle East until they hope to

completely pull us out of that region.

They'll also continue to build

long-range missiles, missiles capable of

reaching the United States. Those are

not affected by this deal, and they'll

continue to build them as they've been

doing. And then at some point in the

near future when the time is right, they

will build a nuclear weapon. And they

will do so because at that point they

will know that they have become immune.

That we will no longer be able to strike

their nuclear program because the price

of doing so will be too high. This is

not just a work of imagination. It

exists in the world today. It's called

North Korea where a lunatic possesses

dozens of nuclear weapons and a long

range rocket that can already reach the

United States. And we cannot do anything

about it. An attack on North Korea today

would result in an attack on Tokyo or

Seoul or Guam or Hawaii or California.

And so the world must now live with a

lunatic in possession of a nuclear we of

nuclear weapons. And this is the goal

Iran has as well to reach a point where

they become immune to any sort of

credible military threat because the

price of a military strike would be too

high and then they become an established

nuclear weapons power. And never in the

history of the world has such a regime

ever possessed weapons so capable of

destruction. Iran is led by a supreme

leader who is a radical Shia cleric with

an apocalyptic vision of the future. He

is not a traditional geopolitical actor

who makes decisions on the basis of

borders or simply history or because of

ambitions. He has an apocal religious

apocalyptic vision of the future. one

that calls for triggering a conflict

between the non-Muslim world and the

Muslim world. One that he feels

especially obligated to trigger and he's

going to possess nuclear weapons. This

is the world that we are on the verge of

leaving our children to inherit and

perhaps we ourselves will have to share

in it. And so I want to be recorded for

history's purposes if nothing else to

say that those of us who opposed this

deal understood where it would lead and

we are making a terrible mistake. And I

fear that a passage of this deal will

make it even harder for us to prevent

it. And I hope that there is still time

to change our minds. But here's the good

news. Iran may have a supreme leader,

but America does not. In this nation, we

have a republic. And soon we will have

new leaders. Perhaps in this chamber,

but also in the executive branch. And I

pray that on their first day in office,

they will reverse this deal and reimpose

the sanctions. Wow.

>> And back them up with a credible threat

of military force. or history will

condemn us for not doing what needed to

be done at this critical moment in the

world's history.

>> I yield the floor.

>> I'm so glad that I found that sound and

and thank you for watching it with me

because I think it's important to

remember that you know some people they

stand for something.

You know what I'm getting at?

There has to be something inside.

Look, I do this show. Some days we get a

lot of viewers. Some day we don't. Some

days we don't get as many viewers, but

Leslie knows she was here with me in the

very, very beginning when we had like

five viewers. Let me tell you, it's not

easy going from television where you had

hundreds of thousands of people every

day and then you go on your little

YouTube channel and you're like, I got

five viewers today. But you know what?

It's never changed how I think or the

enthusiasm

with which I come to my job every day.

Because whether I have five viewers or

whether I have five million viewers, it

doesn't matter. I am who I am. I believe

what I believe and I have convictions

that that can't be swayed.

That's the president and that's Marco

Rubio.

I can't say the same for many people in

my business.

I think they're very fickle which way

whichever way the wind or the money

blows and they're they're willing to

change on a dime.

But there's something to be said for an

individual who has a true belief. Not

saying you can't change your mind, by

the way. You know, you're presented with

new evidence. Okay, so fine. But there's

something very special about people who

know what their convictions are

and they stick to them.

You don't see it, as I said, in my

business very often. I I think about,

for example, CNN. Like CNN, nobody's

getting any conviction over at CNN. And

I don't think they understand what day

it is over on CNN. The only thing they

understand on CNN right now is that they

are all about to get fired. And they're

going to get fired by one David Ellison

who just bought their company. Well, the

deal hasn't gone through, but it's

gonna. So, Parammont Sky Dance, remember

they went in and bought CBS. They put in

Barry Weiss. The whole newsroom's

freaking out. Oh, another newsroom's

about to freak out. And that would be

the CNN newsroom. They had this little

meltdown you see at CNN yesterday after

Caroline Levit went straight for the

jugular and she accused CNN of bias

reporting. Wow, did they freak out. I

mean Jake Tapper, one of those CNN hosts

that is very very fickle that changes on

a dime and then you know has one opinion

and then changes has another opinion

then decides he's going to double down

on he's going to write a whole book on

that opinion so he can make a few more

dimes. Right? Like I said kaching

kaching. All right. So, Caroline Levit

calls them all out in the the press

briefing yesterday and this guy flips

out. He freaks out. He runs out to his

car and he does this little selfie.

Well, let's go first to Caroline so you

can see why he was so upset.

>> XF was complaining that it was front

page news about these six service

members who were killed.

>> That's not what the secretary said,

Caitlyn, and that's not what the

secretary meant. And you know it. You

know you are being disingenuous. There

is not.

>> She's right. Okay. We watched that

together. That is not at all what Pete

meant. His point was they only harbor on

the negative stuff all the time. All the

time. Nobody is saying. Nobody, believe

me, no one at Fox, no one in, you know,

my corner of the woods, no one is saying

that you don't honor those fallen

soldiers. Okay, but let's go back. So,

Caitlyn's trying to present something

there. And Caroline, good for her. She's

from New Hampshire, you know. They raise

us well in live free or die country. She

shuts it down for us,

>> meaning that it was front page news

about these six service members who were

killed.

>> That's not what the secretary said,

Caitlyn, and that's not what the

secretary meant. And you know it. You

know, you are being disingenuous. There

is not. We've never had a secretary of

defense. Who cares more?

>> Get through or tragic things happen.

It's front page news. I get it. The

press only wants to make the president

look bad. You know, we can death of US

service members under every president.

>> The press does only want to make the

president look bad. That's a that's a

fact. Especially you. No. Listen to me,

especially you and especially CNN. And

the Secretary of Defense cares deeply

about our war fighters and our men and

women in uniform. He travels all across

this country to meet with them, to

connect with them, and your network has

hardly ever probably reported on that.

You also had the chairman of the joint

peace uh chiefs uh Chairman Kaine, who's

a brave patriot standing alongside the

secretary at the Pentagon this morning

again expressing his condolences to

these families. And I just told you that

the president of the United States will

be attending their dignified transfer.

So please dignified transfer. That's not

making the president look bad. That's

showcasing that.

>> We expect you to cover that as you

should. We expect you to cover that as

you should, Caitlyn. But you and your

network know that you take every single

thing this administration says and tries

to use it to make the president look

bad. That is a an objectable fact. I

don't think covering troop doubts is

trying to make

>> if you're trying to if you're trying to

argue right now that CNN's overwhelming

coverage is not negative of President

Donald Trump. I think the American

people would tend to agree and your

ratings would tend to disagree with that

as well.

>> She's great, right? She's just great.

She's great. Don Becca, you were here,

too. I remember Don Becca's been in the

house for a while here on this show. I I

got my loyal peeps and I I'm here every

day now. back then I wasn't as

consistent. But, you know, took me a

little while to figure out all this

equipment. Like, I'm just being

perfectly transparent. You know, it's

not easy. Not easy for for a girl who

can barely operate Microsoft Word.

Anyway, you saw Caroline Levit like just

knocking it out of the park, putting

them in their place. And so, this

Caitlyn Collins goes back and she's

like, "Oh my gosh." And like everybody

at CNN is like, "Oh my gosh." and we're

all about to get fired because gosh darn

it, Paramont Sky Dance just bought us

and David Ellison can't stand any of us.

And so they're terrified. And so this

little guy, he goes out to his car and

he makes this.

>> Secretary of Defense Pete Hegs this

morning suggested that the news media

only prominently covers American service

members killed in action for political

reasons to make the president

>> look bad. When a few drones get through

>> or tragic things happen,

>> it's front page news. I get it. The

press only wants to make the president

look bad, but try for once to report the

reality. That's just false. Not to

mention a kind of warped way of looking

at the world. Not to mention a rather

ahistorical way of looking at the world.

The news media covers fallen service

members because they have made the

greatest sacrifice for this country.

It's a tribute. It's an honor. We did it

under President Obama. There's nothing

political about it.

>> Oh gosh.

He's all worked up now, isn't he?

Rushing out to the car to make that

little that little whatever you call it.

I guess it's a short or it's a real or

whatever. I that little on camera

moment. Um, here's the thing. Insiders

are predicting that Jake Tapper is

probably gonna be gone because

remember I was talking about conviction

and standing for something.

I don't think he stands for much of

anything.

He loved Obama. He loved Joe Biden.

He hated Trump.

And uh I I'll never forget this one clip

that I I've I've played you before at

various times. I think back when it

happened, but it's an important clip

because it shows you how

devoted he was to Joe Biden, the God,

right? Joe Biden was everything.

And even though we were all seeing what

we saw,

and you know, Don, Leslie, the whole

gang on Candy, you all know what we saw.

Ian, he usually watches the the show

after the after the live. We all know

what we saw. We knew that Joe Biden was

slipping. We've probably seen it before

in our loved ones at various times. You

know, if you've had a grandparent or

loved one,

we knew. And yet when Larara Trump went

on his show,

he did this.

Every time he comes on stage or they

turn to him, I'm like, "Joe, can you get

it out? Let's get the words out. Joe,

you kind of feel bad for him."

>> How do you think it makes little kids

with stutters feel when they see you

make a comment like that?

>> Uh, first and foremost, I had no idea

that Joe Biden ever suffered from a

stutter. I think what we see on stage

with Joe Biden, Jake, is very clearly a

cognitive decline. That's what I'm

referring to. It makes me uncomfortable.

>> You have no money. I can't It's so

amazing. It's so amazing to me that

>> and try and figure out an answer.

>> A cognitive decline.

>> You're trying to tell me that what I was

suggesting was I think that you were

mocking his stutter. I think you were

mocking his stutter and I think you have

absolutely no standing to diagnose

somebody's cognitive decline. I would

think that somebody in the Trump family

would be more sensitive to people who do

do not have medical licenses

>> diagnosing politicians from afar. Plenty

of people have diagnosed your father

from afar and I I'm sure it offends you,

your father-in-law from afar. I'm sure

it offends you. You don't have any

standing to diagnosing him. what I'm

saying Jalog

that Joe Biden I have one last question

for you times on stage and it's very

concerning to a lot of people that this

could be the leader of the free world

that is all I'm saying I genuinely feel

sorry for Joe

>> Bennett I appreciate it I'm sure

>> a jerk right what a jerk

this is what I'm telling you like he

he's not going to belong there because

they don't have a lot of tolerance for

that David Ellison is coming in there to

revamp the place and to help people

trust it again. And how are you going to

ever trust it given that this guy said

that? And then a few weeks later, he

goes and he moderates this debate and he

sees with his own eyes what we were

trying to say over and over and over

again before. And suddenly he's the

arbiter of truth. He's the one that

declares it. He's the one that says it's

over for Joe Biden. I think not. And yet

listen to this garbage. What a jerk.

There is a pattern, discernable pattern

of Democratic officials seemingly trying

to convince you, the public, to not

believe what you saw and what you heard

with your eyes and with your ears on

Thursday night.

>> The the total initiative relative to

what we're going to do with more border

patrol and more asylum officers.

>> President Trump,

>> I really don't know what he said at the

end of that sentence. I don't think he

knows what he said either.

>> Democratic officials have tried to spin

this in many ways. They said President

Biden just had a cold. They said it was

just one off night akin to when

President Obama in 2012 was rusty and

seemed a little huffy. But behind the

scenes, make no mistake, most Democratic

officials witnessed the same shocking

spectacle that you did. the difficulty

that the presumptive Democratic nominee,

the current president of the United

States, had just articulating his basic

thoughts during the 90 minutes of

debating.

>> We told you. H Don, you're so right. He

says, "Jake is such a fraud."

>> I mean, what a And then on top of it

all, the guy goes out and then writes a

book about it, saying how the media had

it all wrong. And I'm like, "No, no,

no." like you had it wrong. You and your

media organization had it wrong. So

guess what? David Ellison to the rescue.

He comes in, he makes a huge offer.

Okay, nobody wanted him to buy it. And

he's looking at it for all its

potential. And we have talked about

this, you know, I think it has a ton of

potential because I think technology is

changing so fast. And I'm so excited by

it that one day you're going to be able

to be right here in the studio with me

and we're going to be able to go to the

State of the Union together and you're

going to get a front row seat. I mean,

all this stuff is going to happen. Or if

you choose to go watch CNN,

um, bless you. If you choose to go watch

CNN, you might right be in the middle of

a hurricane because you know what?

There's these goggles. Apple has them

right now. And it's amazing. It's

amazing. The technology is incredible.

It's the whole metaverse 3.0 that

everybody's talking about. Think about

the potential for that. Well, David is a

tech guy. My sources tell me he's

totally brilliant. He gets this

and so he's buying CNN. He's going to

make something out of this. Nobody

wanted it. It was like the redheaded

stepchild, right? Like, please get away.

Get away. Get away. Get away. President

said, you know, whoever does this deal,

I want them to take care of CNN. I want

a future for this company. They got

bureaus all over the world. What are you

going to do with them? David Ellison is

going to figure it out. But most

importantly, what does he want to do? He

wants to get back to basics. He wants

the public to trust news presenters or

whatever the heck you want to call these

people that read prompters for a living.

Yeah. He wants the people to trust them

again. Well, nobody's ever going to

trust Jake. I mean, given he's whichever

way the wind blows, just like a few

other people that we know.

>> Uh David, me again. You know, uh

unfortunately the world

>> remember to do this because some people

watch the audio version of this. We are

going to a sound bite from David Ellison

today on CNBC speaking with another one

of my former colleagues. Gosh darn it, I

know the whole world. David Faber, great

reporter by the way. Okay, here we go.

David Ellison speaking with the other

David.

>> Uh David, me again. You know, uh

unfortunately the world we live in has a

political overlay on almost everything

going on in the corporate world,

certainly when it comes to news

organizations. And there is certainly a

perception andor a fear perhaps that

once you take control of CNN and given

the changes you've made at CBS that you

will be more beholden to the Trump

administration. Can you address that uh

that potential fear at least on the part

of many?

>> Yeah. No, no, David. So, so look, I I've

said this since the since the beginning,

which is, you know, for when it really

comes to editorial independence will

absolutely be maintained. It's

maintained at CBS. It'll be maintained

at CNN. And really who we want to talk

to is the 70% of Americans and really

around the world that identify as center

left, that's center right. And we want

to be in the truth business. We want to

be in the trust business. And that's not

going to change.

Okay? They want to be in the truth

business. They want to be in the trust

business,

but I don't think anybody trusts them

right now. So they have to get back to

basics and they have to figure that out.

If nobody trusts

that anchor

or any of those anchors, frankly, I

think he's probably one of the worst

that they've got because it was so

public. His disdain for Donald Trump was

so public and then all of a sudden his,

you know, realization, his coming to

Jesus moment when he suddenly figured

out that Joe Biden was not the Messiah.

I mean, boy, oh boy. Oh boy. Oh boy. Oh

boy. Oh, you want to debate anchors with

me? Don Baka saying Joe Kern is a lot

better than David Favor. That's because

you and I like his politics, right?

They're both really, really, really nice

guys. Quick story. Um I was about to get

Well, I thought I was going to get an

Emmy award. I was nominated for an Emmy

award at um the you know, annual Emmy

award lunchon or whatever it was. And

and I remember I was pregnant with twins

and I was there waiting and I I'm pretty

darn sure that like I had gone into

labor. I had never been in labor before

so this was a new one for me. And I'm

sitting at the table and David Faber was

also nominated for something or maybe he

wasn't but he was there you know along

with the CNBC table. You know

everybody's there for moral support and

they're like Trish are you okay? And I'm

like yep yep yep I'm okay. I'm okay. At

some point I had to leave the room for a

minute and someone's like, "D Trish, you

know, may maybe you should go home." And

I'm like, "Nope." Cuz I thought I was

going to win. It was actually a story I

had done on what do you know? Terrorist

financing

in Latin America. This little town Sier

de Paraguay had become the biggest hot

spot for terror on this before we knew

about Minneapolis, right? The biggest

hot spot for Hezbollah and Hamas

outside of Iran. So, I I had spent years

working on this story. I was so excited.

I'd been nominated for an Emmy. I was

actually nominated for an Emmy twice

with different versions of that story.

And I'm like, "Oh, I'm gonna stay. I'm

gonna stay." And David Faber was so

sweet. He I came back to the table. He's

like, "Chris, I really really think you

should go home." You know, he'd been

through it before. His wife had had a

few kids. Anyway, I I did not win. But I

I I tell my girls that because I'm like,

"Listen, guys. You know what? You got to

stick with stuff. I mean, as long as

you're not really getting yourself in

any kind of danger. And fortunately, I

was okay. I actually had the babies that

night. Pretty great, great great day.

Um, and it's been a wonderful 16 years

since, let me tell you, just a

wonderful, wonderful 16 years. Then we

got the little guy who came along a few

years later. Anyway, uh, David's a good

guy and Joe Kernin is a wonderful,

wonderful guy. I always got along

brilliantly with Joe. I I I loved him.

And sometimes people never really wanted

to do that morning show with him,

Squawkbox. And I had an 11:00 a.m. show.

I believe me, I didn't want to get up

that early and do a show for three hours

for goodness sakes. Three hours. And um

some of the anchors, especially the

female ones, were like a little

intimidated by him. I had the best time

with him. I always just thought he was

terrific. Um I'm looking at Alons's in

the house. Oh, thank you. He likes the

show. It's visual and uh it's amazing to

think what's coming, right? Alons's

writing about what is in store on the

tech front. I think it's going to be

huge. I mean, we we can't even imagine

all the cool stuff that they're going to

be able to do. But David Ken over David

Ellison and I think that's one of the

reasons he wanted to get CNN. Wow. Time

flies when you are having fun. It's so

good to see all of you here. Thank you

for being part of this show and part of

this movement that we've been building

every single day. I'm usually on

somewhere in the 4:00 hour.

Alons wants me to have a regular time,

but I'm like gosh, you know, like today

we had so many elements coming in and I

want to get it all in there for you so

you can see it all. And I don't want to

do this to tape. I love live. I love

being live.

There's a certain I think energy and

power to it and to be able to see you

guys commenting in real time is so much

fun. But if you're watching it after,

thank you. Please give it a thumbs up.

We need all the thumbs up we can get.

And make sure that you subscribe. Make

sure you subscribe to this show. It is

so important. We're growing. We're

growing. It's hard, right? We got to a

million. Now we're at 1.2. Like it gets

harder that, you know, you think it

would get easier. I'm like, what about

compounding interest? Don't we have any

compounding interest here? Speaking of

compounding interest, you know where you

can find some compounding interest at my

company, my other company, 76 Research.

Look at that. That is just a work of

beauty.

I like seeing all that upside on the

screen. 139% increase over the last 12

months in one of our materials picks.

All three portfolios beating the S&P for

the year quite handily, I would add. So,

go check those out at 76portfolios.com

or 76research.com.

If you can't swing one of the

portfolios, I mean, they're not that

much and hopefully you make enough money

on them because, you know, we've got

enough upside in these stocks. We're not

handling any of your money. I we don't

do that. This is just a research firm

where we tell you what we believe are

the strongest investments right now. So,

go check that out when you can. Um, or

get the 76 report. It's just a dollar a

month and we do have picks in there from

time to time where we write about the

macroeconomy and the markets all the

time, including another note we got

coming out tomorrow on AI. So, thank you

for being here. Thank you for all you do

to take care of and support this show

with all your enthusiasm. Tell your

friends and I will be back with all of

you guys tomorrow.
