00:01:00.000 Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show.

00:01:03.220 Live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east.

00:01:13.180 Hey, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly.

00:01:14.720 Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show.

00:01:16.060 Happy Monday.

00:01:16.760 We got a lot to get to.

00:01:17.740 Oh, my goodness.

00:01:18.640 There's a lot.

00:01:19.420 It's actually quite stunning.

00:01:21.220 My team and I have been having a lot of text exchanges this morning.

00:01:25.020 First, there's this.

00:01:25.980 Crime is dropping in Washington, D.C.

00:01:27.360 It's all part of Trump's racist fascism.

00:01:30.120 Trying to stop the murders there.

00:01:31.840 Just let's be clear on that.

00:01:33.620 Okay.

00:01:33.860 The reason murders have stopped for the past 13 days is because Trump is a racist fascist who wants black people in particular to live.

00:01:43.700 Following?

00:01:44.540 Okay.

00:01:45.280 That's all you need to know about Trump's federal takeover.

00:01:48.540 That he is, like, there's no limit to his hate for people of color.

00:01:55.320 He wants them all to live.

00:01:57.180 That's, he'll stop at nothing.

00:01:58.740 To protect them and make sure they live happy, thriving lives.

00:02:02.640 That's what a pig he is.

00:02:04.540 Sending in troops to Washington, D.C.

00:02:07.480 to make sure that it is safe and lovely.

00:02:10.420 And reclaiming Union Station from the homeless.

00:02:12.420 He, I'm sorry, there's been no one since Jim Crow who's this bad.

00:02:18.560 Okay.

00:02:19.500 Very clearly, I'm being facetious.

00:02:21.480 It's ridiculous.

00:02:23.380 His federal takeover of the D.C. police force is working beautifully.

00:02:28.280 Crime is down double digits up and down the board.

00:02:32.140 And the murders have stopped for almost two weeks now, which is some sort of a record.

00:02:38.180 There was one stint at the end of February into March where we had 16 days, which is beating

00:02:43.700 Trump's current record of 14 days without a murder.

00:02:48.700 But it's pretty good.

00:02:49.800 I'm thinking if you're in D.C., you're happy.

00:02:51.920 No one's getting murdered.

00:02:53.420 Unless you're one of the loons who thinks it's Trump's racism that led to the no murders

00:02:58.400 and therefore we prefer the murders.

00:03:01.420 That's literally where we are with the left's criticism of this police effort.

00:03:08.720 That Trump's engaged in.

00:03:09.700 And now President Trump is saying that he's considering sending troops to Chicago next.

00:03:14.980 Now, that's going to be tougher.

00:03:17.820 D.C. has this Home Rule Act, which allows him specifically to do it to D.C.

00:03:21.980 because that's where the federal government is seated.

00:03:24.240 But there's no such rule for any of the 50 states.

00:03:28.660 And unless you have the cooperation of those states, in particular their governors, it's going

00:03:32.320 to be a lot harder.

00:03:33.760 Or the mayors of these specific cities he's looking at.

00:03:37.040 It's going to be a lot harder.

00:03:38.140 And now, you know, we're going to get into a real battle when it comes to what his powers

00:03:43.100 are and how far over them, if at all, he's allowed to go.

00:03:47.360 Plus, President Trump taking aim at the notorious cashless bail policies in liberal cities.

00:03:51.700 Let me tell you something.

00:03:53.080 Back in like 2019, when I was out of a job and sitting on the couch, I met with a bunch

00:03:58.920 of very well-funded people who either were offering to or were considering or I was talking

00:04:05.640 to the possibility of funding maybe a company, you know, a media company of mine.

00:04:10.820 As you know, I wound up funding it all myself.

00:04:13.320 I just decided I didn't want to take anybody's money in the end, though I had many offers to

00:04:16.680 do it, but I'm thrilled I didn't.

00:04:19.280 And one of the guys I talked to who shall go nameless was a very, very rich guy in New

00:04:23.780 York City, and he was telling me his number one issue was cashless bail.

00:04:27.500 He wanted it.

00:04:28.960 He was a lefty who, well, I mean, he's kind of center, but there was his number one issue

00:04:33.560 that he wanted to make sure we went to cashless bail in New York because he thought bail was

00:04:38.960 racist and it hurt poor blacks in particular who couldn't post bail and therefore had to

00:04:45.220 sit behind bars while awaiting, you know, hearings on their charges.

00:04:48.560 And he got his way in 2019.

00:04:50.780 We went to cashless bail in New York, and it's not just New York, it's cities across

00:04:55.720 the United States that in the wake of, you know, George Floyd in some cases and just in

00:05:00.460 the midst of Woka Palooza in other cases, got rid of bail, got rid of cash bail as a thing,

00:05:06.840 which leads to a revolving door of criminals accused going into the police station one

00:05:13.340 hour and out the next, only to repeat the same crimes.

00:05:17.420 There's almost no deterrent because then if they ever do come back in, there's prosecutors

00:05:22.520 who don't want to prosecute crime and judges who don't want to throw the book at these people.

00:05:27.780 And more and more, we're seeing these bleeding heart juries who want to convict anybody not

00:05:32.980 named Donald Trump. It's want to acquit anyone not named Donald Trump. So we're going to get to

00:05:39.580 that, but we're going to start with this. There is yet another member of the government who was

00:05:49.500 appointed by Joe Biden, who is accused of mortgage fraud. Okay. We have Adam Schiff, one-time House

00:05:57.280 member, now Senator from the state of California, who's been accused of mortgage fraud by the DOJ.

00:06:03.220 We've got Letitia James, Democrat attorney general of the state of New York, who went after Donald

00:06:08.320 Trump for fraud involving banks. Her $550 million judgment with interest against him was just reversed

00:06:17.220 on Thursday. We covered it. She's facing accusations of mortgage fraud. Both of them deny these accusations.

00:06:22.640 And now we've got a third. This woman is on the board of governors overseeing the Federal Reserve.

00:06:29.940 It's got seven members on it. They kind of run herd over there in addition to the Fed chair himself.

00:06:34.960 But her name is Lisa Cook. And I want you to know she's the first and only black woman to hold that

00:06:40.320 position. This is a very big deal because she's the first and only black woman to ever hold that

00:06:44.400 position. And did I mention she's black and a woman and she's the only one? Yeah. So that,

00:06:49.580 and what that means if you read the press is don't fucking touch her. That's what that means.

00:06:55.380 Read the New York Times. You touch her, including if she committed a crime, you're racist. You also

00:07:00.940 are racist, just like Trump trying to get rid of the murdering in D.C. That's racist. And prosecuting

00:07:06.380 crime against black defendants is racist. It's all racist if it involves Democrats, which she is.

00:07:15.780 Miranda Devine reporting in a great piece in the New York Post this morning on it,

00:07:18.780 talking about how this woman was one of four Joe Biden hires. She's she actually she says it in

00:07:25.780 the way only Miranda Devine can. It's actually quite funny. She says something to the effect of

00:07:30.140 hold on, let me find it. That's where is it? Oh, gosh, I can't find it. But she says something like

00:07:40.920 this was part this was part of the Joe Biden weird DEI obsession when he went through this odd

00:07:46.640 period. She talks about Joe Biden's odd period of just appointing people based on skin color.

00:07:52.640 And this woman was the beneficiary of that, this Lisa Cook. So she got this appointment. And as it

00:07:59.660 turns out, even though we believe Lisa Cook lives full time in Ann Arbor, Michigan, she's got a condo

00:08:05.640 in Atlanta, Georgia that she listed, both of them listed as her primary residence. And as we've all

00:08:12.680 learned, thanks to Tish James and Adam Schiff, you're not allowed to do that. It's mortgage

00:08:19.460 fraud. She denies it. And she's got her left wing advocates running cover for her. I will go through

00:08:27.080 with you with the New York Times is writing about this. Here's a preview. It's racist. But it's really

00:08:34.200 an incredible story. Joining me now to discuss it all. DC resident Emily Jaschinski. She's host of

00:08:40.080 After Party with Emily Jaschinski on the MK Media Podcast Network. It's available to you live every

00:08:45.960 Monday and Wednesday night at 10 p.m. Eastern. And Emily is crushing it. People are loving the show.

00:08:53.180 What will the effect of the sparring between President Trump and the Federal Reserve be?

00:08:58.520 Can the Fed take the right action at the right time? Or are we going to be looking at a potential

00:09:02.380 economic slowdown? And what does this mean for your savings? Consider diversifying with gold

00:09:08.000 through Birch Gold Group. For decades, gold has been viewed as a safe haven in times of economic

00:09:12.980 stagnation, global uncertainty, and high inflation. And Birch Gold makes it incredibly easy for you to

00:09:18.420 diversify some of your savings into gold. If you have an IRA or an old 401k, you can convert that

00:09:25.300 into a tax-sheltered IRA in physical gold. Or just buy some gold to keep in your safe. First,

00:09:31.300 get educated. Birch Gold will send you a free info kit on gold. Just text MK to the number

00:09:35.900 989898. Again, text MK to 989898. And consider diversifying a portion of your savings into gold.

00:09:43.740 So if the Fed cannot stay ahead of the curve for the country, at least you can stay ahead for yourself.

00:09:49.680 Welcome back. Great to see you. One half of the EJ.

00:09:52.680 Thanks, Megan. Reporting to you live from occupied DC.

00:09:55.760 I'm sorry about the racist fascism that has come to your city to stop the murders. I don't know how

00:10:00.220 you're dealing with it. Single tier? Yeah. Keep us in your prayers, Megan.

00:10:04.580 I will do. Okay. So Lisa Cook, a name virtually nobody knew prior to last week, but she's the third

00:10:11.680 person referred to the DOJ by this mortgage guru, Pulte is his name, who's taking a hard look at

00:10:22.660 mortgage fraud. And this guy has said, look, mortgage fraud is quite serious and it hurts us

00:10:29.200 all when people commit it because you could go so far as watching a banking system collapse if enough

00:10:34.620 people commit it. It's kind of what we saw with the 2008 financial meltdown. You can't have people

00:10:40.100 getting more favorable terms by saying their summer house is their primary residence because you get

00:10:46.600 better mortgages on your primary residences than you do on your vacation homes because they assume

00:10:52.780 if you hit hard financial times, you're going to pay the mortgage of the home in which you really

00:10:57.220 live, not the vacation home. That's going to be the first you let go into default. So they might

00:11:02.700 charge you a little bit more on your mortgage rate on a second home. That's why it's bad and

00:11:07.820 technically illegal to lie and say your vacation home is your primary residence because you know exactly

00:11:15.120 what you're doing. You're getting a more favorable rate under fraudulent terms. And this is exactly

00:11:19.700 what's gotten Adam Schiff, Letitia James, and now Lisa Cook in trouble. All of them deny the

00:11:24.140 allegations. But here's what we have with this woman. It's very interesting because she has been

00:11:32.260 in the crosshairs potentially of Trump for a while and a leftist,

00:11:39.040 God would be too strong, but heroin isn't for quite some time. Biden elevated her for this

00:11:49.380 position. And when she was elevated, she wanted us all to know how impossible it is to be a woman

00:11:54.860 in economics and how really impossible it is to be a black woman in economics. Really, really

00:12:01.380 impossible. Poor, poor Lisa Cook with her vacation home and her main residence in Ann Arbor, Michigan,

00:12:10.140 which is not a cheap town, by the way, and her very prestigious position on the board of governors

00:12:15.180 of the Fed. But poor Lisa is a victim, you see, of the big bad United States of America and its racism

00:12:22.800 against black women. Here's a couple highlights about her. This is National Review writing about

00:12:31.360 her in 2022 when she was so controversial because not qualified for the Federal Reserve Board that

00:12:37.200 nobody wanted to vote for her. Kamala Harris had to come in and break the tie, cast the deciding vote

00:12:41.840 on her because they didn't want to vote for her. They didn't think she was qualified. But Joe Biden

00:12:46.120 has people thought thought it was because she was a black woman because all Republicans are racist.

00:12:49.960 So a National Review did an article on her in 2022. Biden Federal Reserve board nominee has

00:12:55.400 supported reparations for black Americans. Quote, everybody benefited from slavery. Everybody,

00:13:03.060 Lisa Cook said in September 22 on a podcast. Sorry, 2020. Oh, we have it. Here it is. Let's listen

00:13:10.660 to Lisa Cook in her own words. Everybody benefited from slavery. Everybody, everybody in the economy

00:13:18.780 at the time. We absolutely need some sort of reckoning with that. There are many proposals on the table to

00:13:29.420 study the possibility of reparations, many economic proposals being put forward. And I think they should

00:13:39.680 all be taken seriously. Reparations. By the way, I feel like my imitation was good,

00:13:44.560 right? Like I hadn't heard the sock. I don't like, I only read it. Everybody, everybody benefited EJ.

00:13:52.400 And I'll get you in one second, the rest of her tweets, which are equally radical to what you just

00:13:58.300 heard. They're pushing for reparations. And now this woman is on the receiving end of the mortgage

00:14:05.360 fraud treatment. And by the way, then the New York Times comes in to do a long piece on how everyone

00:14:13.440 is racist. That is criticizing Lisa Cook. After all, the New York Times wants us to know

00:14:21.100 she has written a piece, her best known academic paper, showing how lynchings and other violence

00:14:30.500 against black Americans in the late 19th and early 20th centuries reduced the number of patents

00:14:37.060 black people filed. Well, duh. I mean, if you lynch any particular group of people, it's going to

00:14:43.960 reduce what they do in any way, shape or form. I mean, I think that's a given, but she did a whole

00:14:48.520 paper on it that she's supposed to be lauded for. And that should render her immune from criminal

00:14:53.240 prosecution forevermore. Because again, only racists would pursue a black woman in a field

00:14:59.320 where black women are not common. And it doesn't matter that she may have committed mortgage fraud,

00:15:03.360 Emily Jashinsky. So I was reading the splashy New York Times feature on her. And as you're going from

00:15:10.180 paragraph to paragraph, I'm thinking this has to have been written by a white guy. Sure enough,

00:15:15.720 a Columbia graduate living in Brooklyn wrote the story about how difficult it is. And of course,

00:15:22.020 it was very, this is what it was sort of amusing about it because it was trying very subtly. It

00:15:25.980 was, it was very suggestive that, you know, it's, it's very, very difficult to be Lisa Cook,

00:15:32.380 a black woman in her field and suggesting that she is being targeted, not because she may have done

00:15:39.700 something wrong. And, and Megan, this looks like, I mean, the evidence here so far looks like a pretty

00:15:44.400 clear cut case. Of course, we'll wait to see more, but it looks like a pretty clear cut case. And the

00:15:48.500 suggestion is that Trump is targeting her subtly. That's the suggestion throughout this New York

00:15:53.360 Times piece, because she is a black woman. And not because Trump, of course, was first targeted

00:16:00.960 because he was Trump by people like Letitia James, and people like many, many others throughout the

00:16:09.220 Democratic Party, whether in Georgia or New York, who said, hey, we're going to start prosecuting

00:16:15.180 white collar crime, dot, dot, dot, if it was committed by Donald Trump or somebody around

00:16:19.800 Donald Trump. And that is basically where you stop and start on this one that like the reason

00:16:25.720 Lisa Cook is under a microscope for this particular allegation is because A, it's a clear cut case and

00:16:31.880 B, because yeah, of course, they started doing this to Trump. So Trump is now turning around on them

00:16:37.660 and they do not like it. That's where they draw the line. No, that's inappropriate and will not be

00:16:46.220 tolerated. So this woman is a piece of work, EJ. She okay. She I guess we need to know that the

00:16:57.020 purchases predate her 2022 appointment to the Fed seven member board. Yeah, this is where Miranda

00:17:03.360 Divine writes, one of four diversity appointments made by Biden, as part of his peculiar obsession

00:17:09.720 with identity politics above all. She's exactly right. The investigation is understood to include

00:17:17.520 questions over whether Ms. Cook misrepresented her mortgage situation to the board when she was

00:17:25.300 being vetted. I mean, I'll tell you right now, I guarantee she did. There's not there's no question

00:17:30.240 in my mind. We're going to find out she did because this is an economics post. Like what is

00:17:35.120 the Federal Reserve Board for there to oversee monetary policy involving the United States

00:17:41.780 economics and the Fed chair? You would have to have a squeaky clean financial background in order

00:17:49.760 to make this post. Because by the way, you govern a little something that matters to people called

00:17:54.080 mortgage rates. Exactly. So yeah, I'm going to put myself out on a limb and say, I guarantee you,

00:18:02.880 Lisa Cook misrepresented the mortgage situation to those she interviewed with when being vetted.

00:18:09.860 And Trump, when he found out about this last week, went to Truth Social to demand that Ms. Cook,

00:18:15.420 quote, resign now or be fired. And then Pulte, the guy who's like finding all these cases,

00:18:21.280 who's trying to clean up the mortgage fraud situation, saying no one takes mortgage fraud

00:18:24.620 seriously. They will when I'm done. That's his. He's like, I'm a one man wrecking ball. I'm going

00:18:29.680 to figure out whether there's a 2008 crisis looming from all the people who've been getting away with

00:18:33.900 this, especially people who are in positions of power. So Pulte is just sort of this badass take

00:18:39.560 no prisoners dude. He responded on X, quote, the president has great cause to fire Lisa Cook

00:18:45.160 and then alleged that Fed Chair Jerome Powell might be complicit with Cook's alleged fraud.

00:18:52.960 So that's incredible. Her term is not up until 2038, but if she's forced to resign, Miranda points

00:19:00.360 out, over the mortgage fraud allegations, Trump will be able to appoint a governor of his choice to

00:19:05.620 replace her, thus flipping the balance of the Fed in his favor for three and putting the heat on

00:19:12.040 Powell. So everyone's going to say, oh, this is a political move by Trump. He's he's picking on her

00:19:18.400 because he wants to control the board. I don't know what the truth is here one way or the other,

00:19:22.700 but I do know it'd be really helpful to her cause and those who are supporting her if she didn't do it,

00:19:27.980 if they if they looked at the Ann Arbor mortgage application and the Atlanta mortgage application

00:19:33.580 and found all the T's crossed and the I's dotted like virtually every human does because they're

00:19:39.800 afraid of getting it wrong on documents like that, which we all know are legal documents, Emily.

00:19:45.760 Well, and this is incredibly sensitive to the average American right now, especially to people,

00:19:49.920 by the way, my age, like 20s and 30s who are trying to buy a house. So bad time to be under the

00:19:54.420 microscope for potential mortgage fraud as a Federal Reserve governor. That's not going to help her one

00:19:59.960 bit. I don't know what like you said, I have no idea what's going on behind the scenes with Trump,

00:20:04.680 but I asked Trump last month. I was in the press pool when he was touring the Fed, which was a

00:20:09.240 spectacle to say the very least. It was quite a day to be in the press and asked him because he keeps

00:20:14.280 saying accurately that the where where the rates are right now is hurting people's ability to afford

00:20:20.760 life, to buy homes, to have that stability that comes with it. So I said, well, why not just fire

00:20:25.480 Powell? Why not just why wait? Why if that's if that's happening, why allow that to go on for another

00:20:30.380 eight months or whatever it was at that point? And he said, well, because it's a really big thing to do

00:20:34.500 that. And I don't think that it's necessary right now. So does that then translate to Lisa Cook, who is

00:20:40.940 not Jerome Powell? Does that actually mean that Trump then feels more comfortable sort of putting a shot

00:20:47.220 across the bow with somebody like Lisa Cook when you have all of this playing out because the political

00:20:53.060 structure around her is so sensitive that if you tell an average American, well, he got rid of her

00:20:58.320 because it looks pretty clear that she committed mortgage fraud and you guys can't afford a

00:21:02.060 mortgage. So why should she be able to commit fraud when the rates right now are so high that

00:21:07.860 you can't buy a house? I mean, that is not that is not politically a difficult argument for Donald

00:21:12.840 Trump. That's so true. Having secured herself lower mortgage rate mortgages, she then turned around

00:21:19.880 and wanted to F everyone else pulling up the ladder behind her people who weren't prepared to commit the

00:21:24.800 same fraud she allegedly did. All right. So here's a little bit more about Lisa Cook and why the New

00:21:30.540 York Times will get we'll get we're going to get into this New York Times. But this is this is why

00:21:34.520 the New York Times decided to run cover for her this weekend. Even though no one's above the law,

00:21:38.700 Emily, no one is above the law. The left has told us this for four years. This OK, she retweeted Ava

00:21:45.980 DeVornay. Quote, this is what defund the police means. Don't let white nationalists and Trump make

00:21:53.820 you afraid of the term. Defunding the police means defunding armed responses to issues that don't

00:22:01.040 need a gun. And I guess Lisa Cook and Ava DeVornay are going to figure out which situations require

00:22:06.840 a gun and which do not. Cool. I'd feel safe as a cop when you.

00:22:11.420 Well, this is how we know Lisa Cook is rich. She wants to defund the police. She thinks it's a

00:22:18.640 great idea. That's how we know. Yeah. All right. Here's another one. She retweeted about Tom

00:22:23.040 Cotton's 2020 op ed about sending the troops in to restore order. Running this puts my black New

00:22:28.520 York Times colleagues in danger. Remember when one of the New York Times writers write that wrote that

00:22:32.880 Lisa Cook retweeted it. She's endangered. I'm in I'm in my big house in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She's

00:22:37.620 probably looking at her lake views, wondering, like, oh, how's my condo doing? I could I get

00:22:42.100 an extra extension built onto it? Can I get the full condo soon? What can I have? Oh,

00:22:46.400 yeah. Retweet. My black New York Times colleagues are in danger. Yes. I'm part of the struggle.

00:22:52.820 She retweeted somebody saying Governor Brian Kemp of Georgia, who had just banned COVID masks,

00:22:58.760 wrote, quote, he's literally trying to murder us, especially BIPOC people.

00:23:04.260 That is unserious. I mean, this is somebody who is a federal, like that is so deeply unserious for

00:23:13.060 the position that she holds. Yes. BIPOC, in case our listeners have forgotten, is black,

00:23:17.660 indigenous persons of color. She herself tweeted in 2020, I agree with Angela Merkel that free speech

00:23:25.340 has its limits. Okay. So she's a radical leftist. That's why Joe Biden elevated her. I mean, let's be

00:23:34.560 honest, he elevated her because of the skin color and the lady parts. But this is all a bonus. This is

00:23:40.160 all the cherry on top of the sundae. And this is the stuff that really made the New York Times fall

00:23:45.160 in love with her. So they enter in and you would think maybe, okay, when they assigned the chief

00:23:50.920 economic correspondent of the New York Times, who you mentioned a minute ago, Ben Castleman,

00:23:57.720 that they, that he would write a straight news piece, like I'm the chief economics correspondent,

00:24:02.760 so I need to care about mortgage fraud and the banking system and quality people running it.

00:24:10.220 You would be hard pressed to even find the passing mention of the allegations against Lisa Cook.

00:24:15.700 Instead, you will be subjected to things like this quote, they are trying to paint this woman of

00:24:24.520 color as someone who is unworthy of wealth. What? She's unworthy of wealth because they thought

00:24:33.060 there was funny business with her mortgage applications based on the words she wrote in them.

00:24:39.120 Okay. They go on to say, um, she's, she's one of just a handful of black women in a field long

00:24:48.380 dominated by white men. The same party of trying to figure out how, why don't men like us? Why won't

00:24:54.480 men talk to Democrats or vote Democrat anymore? Enter the New York Times. One of just a relative

00:24:59.800 handful of black women in a field long dominated by white men. Hate both categories. Economics quote,

00:25:07.660 is neither a welcoming nor supportive profession for women. Lisa Cook and a colleague wrote in a New

00:25:14.260 York Times opinion essay in 2019. She added, but if economics is hostile to women, it is especially

00:25:20.300 antagonistic to black women. Three years later, Biden nominated her to the Fed's powerful board of

00:25:25.880 governors. Her confirmation process was a difficult one. She faced repeated questions about her

00:25:30.020 qualifications. We all know that's racism. Despite a resume that included stints at treasury and the

00:25:36.980 White House, as well as extensive academic experience. Karis Harris, Kamala Harris broke a 50-50 tie.

00:25:44.160 She was the first and remains the only black woman to serve as a Fed governor. And now Trump is trying

00:25:51.040 to force her out of that job. On Wednesday, Bill Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance

00:25:56.920 Agency, accused her on social media of falsifying bank records and other documents in order to obtain

00:26:01.480 favorable terms on a mortgage before she joined the Fed. Trump on Friday threatened to fire her if she did

00:26:06.580 not resign. Cook has spoken out often about her experience with racism, informed her approach

00:26:14.320 to economics. Why are we talking about that, Ben? He's pivoted immediately to her writings about how

00:26:21.660 racism has informed her approach to economics. Perhaps her best-known academic paper, that was the

00:26:26.520 one I mentioned, about lynchings, decreasing the number of patents that those lynched would ultimately

00:26:32.680 file. Her findings showed that economies will be less innovative and less productive when governments

00:26:39.180 do not ensure their citizens' safety. Well, I think we can all agree with that. I wonder if she's been

00:26:44.600 speaking out in favor of the federal crackdown in your city, Emily, right? I mean, we're a very pro-black

00:26:53.000 person and we like citizen safety. And if you don't provide it, then you have a society that's less

00:27:00.500 innovative and less productive. So I'll have to check to see if Lisa Cook was out there tweeting

00:27:04.140 in favor of Trump's takeover of the National Guard there with the police force. She's a former student.

00:27:12.080 Oh, wait, no, no. A former student of Cook's at Michigan State University was interviewed here,

00:27:17.380 and she was the one who gave us that beautiful quote about they're trying to paint this woman of color as

00:27:21.400 someone who's unworthy of wealth. They thought that was worthy of reprinting. They quoted her for the

00:27:26.000 proposition that it's striking that they've chosen to target the Fed's only black female governor.

00:27:32.200 Why? What if the black female governor was the only one who committed crime? Lady who took her class

00:27:38.060 and a gifty opoku agimen? What if Lisa Cook, as the only black woman, was the only one who committed a

00:27:45.020 crime? Should we go after her or no? Multiple choice. You can pick one or the other. She said it was

00:27:50.820 notable that the attacks on Ms. Cook focused on her property ownership, given that black Americans

00:27:55.980 were nearly 40 percent less likely than white Americans to own homes. You see, a black person

00:28:02.240 gets a home, never mind two. An old whitey has to step in to take it away or say she didn't deserve

00:28:09.780 it. That's what's really happening here, Emily. This is, by the way, how Dems ended up with Kamala

00:28:18.180 Harris as the nominee when Biden was too old. And just about everybody looks back on that and says,

00:28:25.200 if Joe Biden had picked a better vice president, maybe 2024 would not have panned out the way that

00:28:31.880 it did for us. But because Joe Biden came out immediately and said, we are going to pick a woman

00:28:36.220 of color for the position, they ended up with somebody not viable as a candidate because, by the way,

00:28:41.640 she had to drop out of the presidential election before Iowa, the primary electorate before Iowa,

00:28:48.400 but because they were so desperate to just check a box, which is so insulting to so many qualified

00:28:56.360 people who may be black or female or both, that you just end up throwing somebody in there

00:29:03.120 who is not qualified, who is not the best person for the job. That is what happened when, as Miranda

00:29:09.460 Devine described in the article and Lisa Cook that you were reading from, Megan, as this fever dream

00:29:14.480 that we all lived through, that Biden was a part of fueling, where you're just, like, just, again,

00:29:20.600 trying to checkbox, checkbox as quickly as you possibly can. And the New York Times is clearly

00:29:26.200 still stuck in that area, even though the rest of the country has moved on. Because, again, you have

00:29:31.320 a white guy living in Brooklyn who has worked in the media for his entire career, as far as I can tell,

00:29:37.920 writing an article like this, which shows that the biggest bias in media is not even ideology.

00:29:43.740 Ideology is downstream of class bias, because this is a case of a rich person taking advantage of the

00:29:51.120 system and expecting not to get prosecuted and expecting to be above the law because there are

00:29:57.540 identitarian reasons that can be the shield that protects you. Again, like, Ken Paxton is under

00:30:04.020 investigation. Republican in Texas is under investigation for similar things. I say, great,

00:30:08.240 white collar crime. Let's go. But this is clearly the case of somebody thinking that they have a

00:30:14.780 shield around them from white collar crime because of their identity. And the New York Times basically

00:30:20.860 agreeing with it, like we are still all in 2020. And we're just expected to roll over and say, oh,

00:30:27.480 yes, you're right. This is exactly the case. Pull the Tom Cotton op-ed. That's, you know,

00:30:32.360 this is the least that we can do. It's so maddening. Yeah. And it's like, we all know what

00:30:38.200 happened here. Like she was an identity hire, as Miranda points out, and she had the right politics

00:30:43.640 because it's not all about identity. They would never put Glenn Lowry on their famed black economist,

00:30:48.780 right, who's heterodox on issues of race. He's not aggrieved. He doesn't hate America.

00:30:54.600 He wouldn't do the things they want him to do. He would actually follow the math

00:30:58.240 and the science and actually just call balls and strikes. But that's not okay. You need somebody

00:31:03.900 with their thumb on the scale if you're hiring as a dem. Or if you just want to go for black lady,

00:31:08.840 we could do Carol Swain. She's a respected university professor, not in economics. She's

00:31:13.160 from the school of law, if memory serves. But my point is like, there are qualified people out there

00:31:19.020 who would check all the identity boxes who have the wrong politics, you see. But this woman said all

00:31:24.040 the things about reparations and defunding the police and how evil they are and also Trump

00:31:30.760 and white supremacy. And therefore, she got fast-tracked right into the spot. And I'm sure

00:31:36.940 they didn't kick those tires and pull the mortgage applications, which honestly, again, for this job

00:31:42.440 would be an obvious thing you just wanted to make super sure she was fine on, right? It's like a

00:31:49.200 known thing, the mortgage application. Like, is it correct or isn't it? At a minimum, you go back

00:31:54.920 and say, yo, Lisa, you might want to like reapply and fix that before we run you through. Like we

00:32:01.380 could say, oh, came to my attention. Do I, I fixed it? Nope, nope, nope. Even asking, even probably

00:32:07.820 like pushing her on it would have been racist sexism. Um, but the Biden administration would

00:32:13.620 have been interested in doing that anyway. So Ben Castleman, the white guy in Brooklyn writes the

00:32:17.980 white savior piece. That's what you did, Ben. You did. You tried to be the white savior,

00:32:22.420 which is also racist. You're a racist pig and goes to the former student who puts it all in

00:32:27.600 racial terms. One woman of color, unworthy of wealth. This is okay. I think she's going down.

00:32:33.020 I think all three of these folks are in a lot of trouble, especially Schiff. Um, he's in a lot of

00:32:39.160 trouble. Like I'm interested in Tish James's defense that she told the mortgage broker a couple of weeks

00:32:44.040 before she filled out the form wrongly, that this would not be a primary residence. If she can show

00:32:48.860 that, that may help her. We'll see. I haven't seen any such defense for Adam Schiff. I have not seen

00:32:54.060 any such defense for Lisa Cook. I have only seen yet another person here who looks like she's committed

00:32:59.560 fraud and got away with it for years before Bill Pulte started kicking these tires. So we'll see. And

00:33:04.880 the balance of the Fed board of governors, uh, may, may depend on how this goes. And for that

00:33:11.440 Democrats, you have only yourselves to blame. Okay. Let's keep going. Speaking of lawfare against

00:33:18.660 various people, um, that's what the Dems say is happening to John Bolton as the extraordinary

00:33:25.280 scene unfolded Friday. We were off on Friday. We've been taking summers off in the Friday for

00:33:29.540 on Fridays, uh, Fridays off in summer, uh, or at least in August. And it's been quite nice. I have

00:33:35.480 to say a lot of extra time with the fam, but on Friday, I was like, holy, when I saw the raid at

00:33:39.940 John Bolton's house. And I mean, I wasn't totally surprised. And the audience knows I'm totally in

00:33:45.320 favor of it of 100% in favor of it. They will not learn until it's done to them. And, and by the way,

00:33:51.560 he should not be the only at all. We need bigger scalps than his. If you didn't do anything,

00:33:57.640 you don't have to worry. You really don't have to worry. Like I'm not worried. I didn't

00:34:00.600 commit any crimes. We don't hire illegals in my family. We don't commit fraud in our documents.

00:34:04.860 I'm fine. You know? Um, but you know, if you divulge, divulge classified information to your

00:34:11.520 family or worse, which is what Mike Davis is intimating, that it's worse than that. He took

00:34:16.960 classified information to write his book. Then you might need to be a little bit more careful.

00:34:21.820 You might need to be worried, uh, when people come sniffing around. And so the FBI goes,

00:34:28.620 raids his house, searches his house, and he hasn't yet been charged with anything, but he could be.

00:34:34.920 Here's the piece I want to get to. And we touched on this on a morning update. You had leftists from

00:34:42.300 the Biden administration out there on CNN on Friday. And I, I was off. So I was watching some of

00:34:47.780 the news coverage melting down, not just over what they thought. So it was a lot lawfare. They hate

00:34:54.820 lawfare. That's so wrong. We don't abuse the justice system to go after our political enemies.

00:34:59.900 I mean, literally they want us to listen to these guys say this like they don't get it. And then

00:35:05.940 secondly, to point out how inappropriate cash Patel and, uh, Pam Bondi's tweets were the morning

00:35:15.160 of the raid cash tweeted. No one is above the law at FBI agents on a mission or on mission at 7 0 3

00:35:24.140 AM Friday at 7 45 AM Friday. Pam Bondi tweeted America's safety isn't negotiable. Justice will

00:35:31.180 be pursued always. Okay. So that's, and Bongino tweeted public corruption will not be tolerated at

00:35:37.780 7 16 AM. Those are pretty generic. They don't mention anybody's name. They don't say specifically a

00:35:43.120 raid is underway. The closest is a cash Patel saying FBI agents on mission, which I mean,

00:35:49.980 that's good. Just mean like on goal, right? Like they're on, we here every day are on mission.

00:35:55.940 In any event, pretty benign. Here's Andrew McCabe on CNN in the 8 AM hour and his reaction to this,

00:36:04.380 which is indicative of everything that happened during all the coverage I watched on CNN, but

00:36:07.900 here's a taste watch. What do you think about the FBI director tweeting that out as this is

00:36:13.180 happening? So I should say with respect to the director's, uh, uh, social media posting, I mean,

00:36:19.460 it's yet another example of, uh, my opinion, cash Patel failing to live up to the example of his

00:36:27.060 predecessors. He wanted to draw attention to this law enforcement, this sensitive law enforcement

00:36:32.680 activity at John Bolton's house, which anytime you draw press attention to a, uh, to a, uh, search

00:36:39.360 warrant execution, you are elevating the risk that is posed to both the agents and the occupants at

00:36:45.980 that place. So it's a pretty irresponsible thing to do. Totally irresponsible. It would be deeply

00:36:51.180 irresponsible and dangerous both for the target of the raid and the FBI agents. It's not done

00:36:56.060 except when it is done to people like journalist James O'Keefe who had his home raided by, um, Joe

00:37:03.220 Biden's DOJ because they thought he had Ashley Biden's diary or may have engaged in discussions

00:37:10.220 about buying it, which is not illegal. Um, and they know that they know that it's illegal to steal a

00:37:17.280 diary, but it is not illegal for a press person without having been in on the theft to then possibly

00:37:23.640 publish it, which is what James was considering. And he was open about that. That does not lead to

00:37:28.540 FBI raids in normal America, only in Joe Biden's America. And everybody in the Joe Biden DOJ FBI

00:37:37.400 combo was very respectful about not letting the press in on the FBI because danger, danger. Oh,

00:37:44.120 wait, here's James O'Keefe on the Megan Kelly show, April 13th, 2022.

00:37:48.500 I was in handcuffs and I was in my apartment. The FBI had just executed a search warrant

00:37:55.020 against an American journalist and unlawfully and broke the law. And then with minutes later,

00:37:59.920 I get a text message from Mike Schmidt, national security reporter, New York times, who somehow

00:38:04.760 he knows all these details. And I don't think the neighbors tipped him off that this is something

00:38:09.780 that he knew he had leaks from the department of justice. But how, how could that have been? He,

00:38:17.560 the example was being set for cash Patel by the Merrick garden Garland DOJ. Emily, how,

00:38:25.940 how, how could the New York times have known that James O'Keefe was being raided by the FBI

00:38:31.060 in the moment it was happening? That's dangerous.

00:38:33.460 This is also, of course, a great source of mystery and intrigue surrounding the Roger Stone raid.

00:38:41.800 They just got lucky, Emily. CNN says they just got lucky the day of that raid. They just

00:38:47.440 happened to be there. This is actually what the CNN journalist who was there says. He says he just

00:38:53.860 had a gut instinct. That is legitimately why he said that very morning he was hanging around with a

00:38:59.560 camera outside of Roger Stone's house. Got a little tingle about Roger Stone. I mean,

00:39:04.220 we've all been there. Imagine, imagine someone being reckless at the head of the FBI. Imagine

00:39:10.860 what that would be like. Imagine how far we could have fallen as a country of somebody who ran the

00:39:16.240 FBI. And this is where, like, I also feel like it just happens so much. You mentioned Mike Schmidt.

00:39:21.340 I believe that is the husband of Nicole Wallace, who's constantly has him on the show and constantly

00:39:26.260 has him on the show with other people, former intelligence agents, FBI, CIA, all of that type

00:39:30.800 of stuff. We also are just numb to the fact that why the hell is CNN asking Andy McCabe his opinion

00:39:36.420 on any of this? Like, that is completely insane. If you're going to do it, you should do it very

00:39:40.620 critically and be like, well, hey, sir, didn't you get us into this situation in the first place or

00:39:45.360 isn't what you're saying complete and total bullshit because you are guilty of everything that is

00:39:50.640 coming out of your mouth? But no, CNN, as they're trying to repair their own reputation,

00:39:56.900 is just seriously talking to Andy McCabe like he can he can be a credible person to have on

00:40:03.240 as an expert to talk about. That's insane. Let me show you more of McCabe. This is in the 11

00:40:09.920 o'clock hour. I really don't do much on my days off to truth be told. I don't have I don't have a big

00:40:16.280 life. You're just watching CNN. I mean, yeah, kind of. I was I was interesting that they were

00:40:23.820 reading John Bolton South. So I tuned in. OK, here's more. This is the 11 o'clock hour. Next,

00:40:29.260 we'll do the 2 p.m. hour. Watch. In the past, DOJ leadership has always taken the role. We don't

00:40:39.160 go out of our way to draw suspicion or castigate people unless we are doing it officially in court

00:40:47.340 in the form of an indictment and then going into court, approving our case. They speak

00:40:51.260 through the court. Got it. And that is it. So I think what you're seeing from Pam Bondi and Kash

00:40:56.400 Patel and Dan Bongino is pretty typical for them, but it is absolutely atypical for anyone else who's

00:41:02.920 ever served in those roles. And I think it really degrades the bureau and the department's

00:41:09.160 image and legitimacy in the way that they are so blatantly trying to generate social media

00:41:17.080 attention for themselves. I can't think of anyone at the FBI who would call attention to a search

00:41:22.940 warrant while it's taking place. You really want tactically, you would never want to draw attention

00:41:28.380 to something like that. A lot of head nodding at this table. Remember, Trump and those people you

00:41:33.600 just mentioned, the attorney general, the FBI director, the deputy, they are the ones who said

00:41:37.780 during the Biden administration, these people are weaponizing the Justice Department. They are making

00:41:41.820 public statements, essentially coming to conclusions, even while the search is underway.

00:41:46.000 Now you have the heads of the law enforcement agencies essentially saying John Bolton's guilty

00:41:49.960 even before the search is conducted. That's right. I mean, it looks like they're trying to try

00:41:53.980 this in the court of public opinion. Oh, the horror. To try this in the court of public opinion. I mean,

00:42:01.560 we've been spending the last two months talking about the immediate leaks by the FBI, the intelligence

00:42:09.960 services to the New York Times and the Washington Post when they thought, well, when they wanted us to

00:42:15.380 think Trump was a Russian stooge. I mean, ran to the Washington Post, ran to the New York Times,

00:42:21.680 to Michael Schmidt. That was all part of their plan, you see. But in fairness, Trump wasn't yet

00:42:26.900 indicted. He actually had done nothing wrong. So is it better? Is it better to involve the press

00:42:32.320 when you have an indictment or you actually think you're about to have an indictment? You have a

00:42:37.720 search warrant. Or is it better to involve the press when the person has done nothing wrong and

00:42:42.500 you're just ginning up a fake controversy about them, Emily? Well, yeah. And of course, here they're

00:42:47.580 acting like they have the upper hand, like they are pointing out some great hypocrisy on the Trump

00:42:53.220 administration and MAGA's behalf when it's like, you guys have spent the last two months downplaying

00:42:59.080 stories, disclosures that show exactly what you are condemning right now as a lot of heads are

00:43:06.800 shaking at the table. Like an actual pattern of leaks and abuses of your office at intelligence

00:43:16.260 agencies or of people's offices at these intelligence agencies. You've got to be kidding

00:43:20.880 me. And like, I don't even know why I'm getting worked up about this because it is so I'm so used

00:43:25.520 to it. They've been doing this for 10 years now where they're they're just acting like they're

00:43:30.180 babes in the woods. Like they've never seen anything like this before. I can't imagine this

00:43:35.480 is unprecedented. And they have literally the last they have not given serious, serious coverage of

00:43:42.100 what we're seeing coming out of Tulsi Gabbard's DNI at all. Like it's all a joke to them. And now

00:43:49.120 they're upset about seeing it happen. We don't go out of our way to draw suspicion or castigate people

00:43:55.900 unless we're doing it officially in court in the form of an indictment. I mean, like this is so this

00:44:03.060 is from the FBI like that FBI that literally was in completely in on the Russiagate conspiracy

00:44:08.260 was trying to unfairly, untruly cast Trump as a Russian agent. And then need I point out the Mar-a-Lago

00:44:17.060 raid where did they just go down there like Joe Friday and conduct that raid? You know, just like

00:44:22.980 you would expect. Why did I see evidence splayed out on the floor of Mar-a-Lago so I could read top

00:44:30.540 secret, talk a secret when that is not the condition in which they found the boxes or the

00:44:35.440 files. They were playing pop art with us, the FBI. They made us a pretty little picture because they

00:44:42.140 wanted us to see just how guilty Donald Trump was. Remember the files all over the carpet? That was

00:44:48.660 not how they found them. And Andrew McCabe of the FBI wants us to know we do not go out of our way to

00:44:54.000 draw suspicion or castigate people unless we're doing it officially in court. That's the example

00:45:01.140 our FBI set. Why is the news media filming the exterior of John Bolton's house, the invasion?

00:45:11.700 Andy McCabe's FBI lied on a FISA warrant. It's just so insane. They were doing it in court,

00:45:19.260 Emily. You see that there they were drawing suspicion or castigating people in court and

00:45:24.640 unfairly and untruly. But that's that's a footnote. I think that was that may have been

00:45:28.560 that may have been before after Andy McCabe was actually like the head of the FBI. It doesn't

00:45:33.080 matter. It's the FBI under Joe Biden. What did Comey do with the steel dossier? I mean,

00:45:38.300 it's just completely insane. Yeah. And Obama. Yeah, he's exactly right. Like they've and they haven't

00:45:43.620 given no serious coverage to that, even though we've learned a lot more about it in the last couple of

00:45:47.140 weeks. But you hear nothing about it on CNN. And I just can't believe I mean, I actually remember

00:45:51.880 watching Ron Johnson one time. This was like 2018. Explain Russia collusion to Chuck Todd. And it was

00:45:58.080 clear and this was on Meet the Press. It was clear at the time that Chuck Todd literally did not know

00:46:02.720 what Ron Johnson was talking about. And I actually think that is still the case. It is 2025. And I think

00:46:07.980 they legitimately have not taken the time to go into the weeds. And that's why they sound so stupid.

00:46:13.120 I don't even think they understand how stupid that they look because they've just ignored this

00:46:17.520 as a QAnon MAGA fever dream. And they have no idea how bad it actually is.

00:46:23.860 Well, it's going to be really interesting because I know Mike Davis pretty well. And he does not say

00:46:30.360 things that are not true. He doesn't. Trust me. I mean, like this audience knows we started putting him

00:46:35.720 on years ago when he wasn't anywhere near as well known as he is now, because I could see as a lawyer,

00:46:41.400 how freaking smart he was and that he was making these predictions that were extraordinary that

00:46:47.040 even in small measures had started to come true and nobody else had been saying them. And they were

00:46:51.320 risky, bold predictions. And he is the one out there saying right now, if you think this is just

00:46:56.440 about classified information in John Bolton's book, you're in for a very rude awakening.

00:47:02.880 So here's some of the media coverage about this raid and how horrible it is. I mean,

00:47:08.020 I'll sum it up for you there. But I'll give you a flavor in SOT 8.

00:47:13.200 This is the latest indication that Trump administration is targeting the president's

00:47:17.780 political enemies. It looks like it's just more revenge and more retribution on his political

00:47:22.260 enemies. He said he was going to go after all of these individuals. And one by one, he's slowly doing

00:47:28.700 that. OK, so he's bad. And here's more on how he's bad. And this is bad from ABC's John Carl in SOT 9.

00:47:36.380 So we seize this as an opportunity to, again, portray himself as the victim. This is classic

00:47:43.860 Donald Trump. You know, he spent most of his presidency portraying himself as a victim of

00:47:49.440 the Russia investigation, certainly his impeachments. And now he's portraying himself

00:47:54.880 as a victim of a runaway and politicized Department of Justice.

00:47:59.260 Moment, we'll get to the stunning developments coming into the weekend with FBI agents swarming

00:48:04.380 around the home and office of former Trump National Security Advisor John Bolton.

00:48:09.340 But first, the context. This didn't happen in a vacuum. John Bolton is on a long list of Trump

00:48:16.560 critics who are now facing the wrath of President Trump and his Justice Department.

00:48:22.500 The wrath. You see, Trump execs retribution against his political enemies. But that's not what happened

00:48:30.880 to Donald Trump. Emily, he's full of grievance and an unjustified whiner when he doesn't like the FBI

00:48:37.500 raiding Mar-a-Lago. Well, it's very important, Megan, to have the context, as John Carl puts it.

00:48:44.780 And I think maybe John Carl might be missing some of the context of where if there is retribution,

00:48:51.340 if there is revenge. I wonder if they could explain to us for what? What might Donald Trump be trying to

00:48:57.120 revenge over? And if they had never. Let's just say Donald Trump did not go after Hillary Clinton

00:49:02.820 in his first term. Could have lots of lock her up chants on the campaign trail. Lots of nodding at

00:49:08.160 that. There's that famous debate moment where he said because he'd be in prison. That happened. And

00:49:12.600 he did not prosecute her, did not go after her. What happened instead is that behind the scenes,

00:49:16.860 we learned that people like Peter Strzok and Lisa Page were exacting their own, quote, insurance policy,

00:49:21.540 that James Comey was enacting his own insurance policy, that he didn't put it that way verbatim.

00:49:27.800 And so that is the origin. I mean, we can go back and keep peeling back the layers of the onion about

00:49:33.760 where lawfare started and how our politics got coarse and became the politics of revenge. We can go all

00:49:39.200 the way back. But this started with Russiagate. That is where it started. And there has never been,

00:49:45.780 to your point, any justice so far for what happened. And the media is completely clueless of

00:49:51.780 the actual context. And until they really do understand the context, they will not know what

00:49:57.100 they're talking about. They will continue to look like complete morons. Well, the New York Post is

00:50:02.100 reporting that this is about sending classified information to his family, highly sensitive classified

00:50:07.380 information from a private email server inside the White House while he was there. The New York Times

00:50:13.180 is now reporting that the warrant, the search warrant was linked to CIA overseas intelligence

00:50:20.380 about Bolton, provided the basis for the warrant to search Bolton's house. Intelligence collected

00:50:26.860 overseas by the CIA. They spoke to people who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing

00:50:33.660 criminal investigation. John Ratcliffe, CIA director, provided Cash Patel, FBI director, with limited access

00:50:38.380 to the intel. It involved the mishandling of classified material by Mr. Bolton. The nature

00:50:43.500 of the intel collected overseas is not known. The FBI obtained the search warrant after presenting

00:50:47.460 evidence to a federal judge. Bolton's office declined to comment. Getting very interesting.

00:50:53.020 And this is just the first chapter. Stand by. We're going to take a quick break. What a news day.

00:53:01.020 Emily. I don't know what we're going to do with it. What's this going to do to your reputation?

00:53:03.680 They've all had drinks with Emily Jashinsky. Millions of people now.

00:53:07.540 It's not good. Listen, it was enough people before. Now it's really bad. And Maureen's on tonight.

00:53:13.240 Sorry. So Maureen's going to be added to the list tonight.

00:53:16.980 Maureen Callahan. Everybody loves her. What a great combo. I mean, who does not want to? I'm

00:53:20.740 personally going to tune in and watch that live. Okay. Kilmar Abrego Garcia is like a bad penny.

00:53:29.700 Just keeps coming back. Every time we think we've gotten rid of this illegal, he comes back.

00:53:36.320 He's whatever. He basically, they said, you have a final order of removal. Get out.

00:53:43.240 You're here illegally, but we won't deport you to El Salvador. That's the one place we won't send

00:53:47.980 you because that's where you're from. And the immigration court said, you gave us this sob

00:53:51.440 story about how they're going to kill you because your poor family was targeted unfairly by some

00:53:55.980 gang. And okay, you pulled on the right sob story, heartstrings. So you do need to go, but you don't

00:54:02.380 have to go back there. So then nobody ever did anything about it. And Trump, six Tom Homan on the

00:54:08.600 illegals of this country wisely and effectively, and they find this guy and say, oh, you, you got

00:54:14.100 an order of removal. Get out. But then they send him to El Salvador, which technically doesn't comply

00:54:19.340 with the language of this order, though, to be honest, it really does comply because if the threat

00:54:25.200 is removed, that got your order of removal stayed. In other words, if the evil gang that's threatening

00:54:31.360 you and it's the reason you can't go back to El Salvador has been erased, then you can be sent

00:54:36.500 back to El Salvador. That has happened. They just didn't do the paperwork to reflect it.

00:54:41.920 So that's really, truly the only immigration court fall down here when it comes to Kilmar

00:54:47.180 Abrego Garcia. But in any event, Trump deported him back to El Salvador. Then Chris Van Hollen

00:54:53.020 had drinks with him. Everyone may remember this Maryland senator flew out there and like had

00:54:58.960 margaritas with him because he just, just the Maryland man. He's just this sweet Maryland man.

00:55:04.080 No, no talk whatsoever about the fact that he was here illegally. He appeared to be a part

00:55:10.520 of MS-13. The left would like to tell us he had no gang affiliations whatsoever. Okay. The gang

00:55:16.180 experts who were patrolling his area 100% thought he was gang. He was MS-13 and he was arrested and

00:55:23.680 two immigration courts found that there was sufficient evidence to conclude he was MS-13. And then he was

00:55:29.760 pulled over for what looked like trafficking of illegals in a car that had had all the seats

00:55:33.500 ripped out so they could fit more people in it going from the southern border up north. So there's a

00:55:39.020 lot to cause us concern about Kilmar Abrego Garcia. But the left, Maryland man, just as a refresher,

00:55:45.100 here's the left. He's just a Maryland man.

00:55:47.700 Involving the Maryland father. The Maryland father's case is in court. And happening now a

00:55:54.420 hearing for a Maryland man. Details about a Maryland man. Tonight the Maryland man. The

00:55:58.540 Maryland man. Maryland father with protected legal status. The Maryland father with protected

00:56:04.640 status. Maryland father with protected legal status. Maryland father with protected legal status.

00:56:10.300 That's amazing. Okay. None of the relevant information gets in there. After the Chris Van

00:56:16.880 Holland photo op, the Trump administration quietly removed him from the El Salvadoran prison and

00:56:23.480 brought him back here and boom, slapped him with charges for related to the alleged trafficking

00:56:28.520 of illegals. As we saw in that video, I think we actually have it, a 2022 traffic stop. And

00:56:35.100 you can hear the exchange with him where the officer says, this guy's hauling people

00:56:40.180 for money. What people might those be? Illegals. Here, watch this at six.

00:56:45.600 How many rolls have you got in here? Four? Where? Four seats? Four rolls of seats?

00:56:50.160 Yeah, three seats. Yeah, with you. Did y'all put an extra one in? Huh? Did y'all put another

00:56:58.740 one in? No. They come like this? The truck. I've never seen one with that many seats in it.

00:57:07.660 You know what you got, right? Huh? You know what you got here, right? Uh, no. No. He's, uh,

00:57:14.360 he's hauling these people for money is what he's doing. There you go. I stand corrected. It wasn't

00:57:20.200 that they took out all the seats so that they could fit the bodies. It was that they, they were nice to

00:57:23.640 them. They added extra seats so that they could fit all the bodies properly with a tush in the seats.

00:57:28.800 Um, so when he got back here, they charged him with trafficking and then he got bail and he was

00:57:39.740 released. So now you have this guy running around free and much like they did with Mahmoud Khalil,

00:57:49.460 the rabble rouser on Columbia campus who they tried to deport. The left gave him the star treatment,

00:57:58.280 rushed to embrace him. We love him. The Maryland dad. He just wants his say. And he held a press

00:58:05.600 conference where he could, he doesn't speak English. He was using his, I think it was his lawyer to

00:58:10.860 translate for him. But here's just a little of what we heard, um, him say. Satwan.

00:58:15.960 Thank you to my life partner and wife, Jennifer, to my brother, Cesar, to my mother,

00:58:36.620 Cecilia, to my children, to my nieces and nephews, to all of my family.

00:58:42.060 All right. So that was just a, an activist translating for him. Um, interesting, like in

00:58:47.720 the traffic stop, he could understand English, but now suddenly he doesn't understand it anymore

00:58:52.060 that, that he's in front of the microphone, I guess. I don't know. Um, okay. So hold on. Cause

00:58:56.900 it gets even more complicated at this point and we'll, we'll get to the life partner, his, his wife

00:59:01.360 and life partner, Jennifer, the one he, he likes to beat up, uh, according to her, that's not

00:59:06.100 Megyn Kelly speaking. That's her. Um, so he's free for like 10 minutes because he's free pending the,

00:59:15.780 the charges going through or going forward against him for trafficking until he's not free because

00:59:22.920 Christine Noem has him arrested by ICE because he's here illegally and he's under a deportation

00:59:30.860 order. Still, he can be deported anywhere, but for El Salvador, which was the case when they first

00:59:37.360 took him into ICE custody too. Christine Noem tweets out on X today, ICE law enforcement arrested

00:59:43.920 Kilmar Albrego Garcia and are processing him for deportation. President Trump is not going to allow

00:59:49.420 this illegal alien who is an MS-13 gang member, human trafficker, serial domestic abuser, and child

00:59:56.080 predator to terrorize American citizens any longer. So he is getting deported. And the Trump

01:00:02.580 administration said, we will deport you to Costa Rica, which is like a lot of people's dream to move

01:00:10.960 to Costa Rica. They, it's supposed to be beautiful. I've never been. People love it. You can do yoga

01:00:16.880 Kilmar. You can surf. You have like blue zones down there. You're going to live forever. You're going to

01:00:21.860 outlive all of us down. But he said, no, I don't know why he said no. And instead they were like,

01:00:29.240 okay, we got your backup ticket to Uganda. So, so he's going to Uganda now. He's being deported.

01:00:39.100 And he chose that box. He wanted to go to Uganda. I guess there was some deal. Like if you, in order

01:00:44.360 to go to Costa Rica, you have to plead guilty to these trafficking charges. And he's like, well,

01:00:48.160 I didn't do it. I'm standing on principle. So off to Uganda, he goes maybe because his lawyers who

01:00:56.160 are like the best funded group of people in us history, he's got a better dream team than OJ

01:01:01.340 have just filed a petition in a Maryland court because he's a Maryland man, Emily, that's all

01:01:06.460 just a Maryland dad to stop the deportation. I don't know what the, I'm like, I don't know what

01:01:12.400 the grounds could possibly be. He has a final order of removal. It's clearly says you can remove them

01:01:16.500 any place you want other than El Salvador. The last I checked, I'm not a geography scholar,

01:01:21.300 but Uganda is not El Salvador. Even I know that, but they really, really, really want this

01:01:28.320 Maryland dad to stay thoughts. Well, during the break, I saw this incredible quote from one of

01:01:34.920 his attorneys that Fox news posted quote, it is preposterous that they would send Kilmar Abrego

01:01:40.660 Garcia to Africa, to a country where he doesn't even speak the language. And Megan, this sounds

01:01:46.780 very funny, right? But you know what, this is true, right? Because he doesn't speak English. And it

01:01:51.960 turns out they speak English in Uganda. He's had to rely on court translators the entire time. And

01:01:58.800 honestly, I've had a million different frustrations with this case because I thought the Trump

01:02:02.880 administration handled it sloppily. I thought it made, like, this was a case of the Biden

01:02:06.960 administration's overloaded insane asylum pipeline. Like, it was clogged beyond belief. And the Trump

01:02:13.700 administration could have used this case as an example of how they were lawfully dealing with

01:02:18.080 the asylum backlog, which is no easy thing to do. So I don't like how they handled it. I hate the

01:02:22.860 Bukele flirtations. It just drives me crazy. That said, there is a difference between disagreeing with

01:02:28.000 the process and lionizing Kilmar Abrego Garcia as some sort of martyr, which he is not. He should

01:02:35.200 absolutely not be in the United States of America. He never should have been allowed to stay in the

01:02:38.900 United States of America. He cooked up what is a very flimsy asylum case. And he has found himself

01:02:44.840 on the wrong side of the law multiple times. And it didn't matter. He was still allowed to stay here

01:02:50.220 while these cases played out. He entered the country illegally, ended up cooking up an asylum case.

01:02:56.060 He had, as you alluded to, a domestic violence charge or a domestic violence call from the police

01:03:02.460 that was filed against him. His life partner then took it back because that happened sadly in a lot

01:03:07.560 of, it happened sadly in a lot of immigration cases. She's the mother of his child because they

01:03:12.240 realized that a deportation is on the line. And so I don't know what happened there, but it looks like

01:03:15.920 that's what happened. And then he got pulled over for what is also very clearly, pretty obviously,

01:03:21.440 a trafficking case where you're paying to bring, you're being paid to bring people up. So they didn't

01:03:26.500 have any luggage in the car. I mean, it's all just so ridiculous. And he's been allowed to stay

01:03:30.520 here and create a family, which is unfair to the child now and the mother of his child.

01:03:36.960 While all of this is being processed, it is completely insane. It is what happened during

01:03:40.640 the Biden administration at a mass scale. And it is so insane to act like this guy is a martyr for

01:03:45.840 the cause. Yeah. So the sweet Marilyn dad and his life partner, the real story is, according to a request

01:03:52.840 for a motion for a protective order she filed in August of 2020, the couple allegedly had a fight.

01:03:57.680 Right. She said that he took her phone, demanded her car keys before flying into a rage when she

01:04:02.000 refused. She said she went upstairs to cook breakfast for the kids, but Abrego Garcia shut

01:04:05.900 off the stove before locking the children in their bedroom. She retrieved her phone from the car and

01:04:09.740 called 911, but Abrego Garcia had locked her out of the house. And when she tried to go back inside,

01:04:14.300 he eventually let her in. When the officers arrived, she said he smashed her phone in front of them.

01:04:19.460 She wrote about the August 2020 issue. Um, she checked the boxes for acts of abuse. Yes.

01:04:26.840 Including kicking, slapping, shoving mental injury of a child and detaining against will quote. He had

01:04:33.620 locked kids in the room and the baby was sleep in crib. I could hear them crying. Me and my kids

01:04:39.640 are afraid now. He kicked me, pushed me, slapped me in the face and threatened me. Have photos of all

01:04:45.340 the bruises left on my body. Police came. He acted violent with them and broke my phone in front of

01:04:50.160 officer. I have a recording that he told my ex mother-in-law that even if he kills me, no one

01:04:56.160 can do anything to him. Um, the document details several fights between the couple that took a turn

01:05:02.420 in March of 2020. She wrote, he pushed me against a wall, broke a phone, a TV and damaged the walls

01:05:06.800 November, 2019. He grabbed her by the hair in the car. December of 2019, grabbed her hair in the car

01:05:12.360 and dragged her out of the car, leaving her in the street just in time for Christmas.

01:05:15.700 Then she rescinded it all. Um, as you point out, so often domestic violence victims do,

01:05:21.500 I would say they do in the majority of cases. And, um, this is the sweet Marilyn dad that the left is

01:05:26.960 embracing. And I do mean embracing. Here they are moments after his little speech with his little

01:05:33.900 translator about his life partner and wife who he thanks and loves so much, Jennifer, uh, with the

01:05:40.560 following chant. Sot three. We are all Kilmart. We are all Kilmart. We are all Kilmart. We are all

01:05:51.380 Kilmart. Are we? I don't know. I'm, I don't, I'm not sure I can relate to that one. Let's try

01:05:58.540 this one. The rapid response choir is at it again. It's a thing. Check it out. They show up at these

01:06:07.360 events, mostly illegal events, illegal immigrants. And, uh, they got a song for Kilmart. Here it is.

01:06:12.280 It's not four. Hide it under a bushel. No.

01:06:26.660 Across Maryland.

01:06:33.480 I'm gonna let it shine.

01:06:36.080 Oh my God.

01:06:40.020 I'm gonna let it shine. Let it shine. Let it shine. Let it shine. Let it shine. Let it shine.

01:06:47.560 Let it shine. Kilmart is our neighbor.

01:06:52.640 You can't have me. Leave him be. Leave him be. Leave him be. Leave him be. Leave him be. Again.

01:07:03.500 Let him free. Let him free. Let him free. Let him free.

01:07:15.140 That happened. You better. You got to play that on After Party tonight.

01:07:19.780 I have to. I think I was crying when that was rolling. And I honestly, I don't want to sound

01:07:25.420 racist, but I sometimes really hate white people, Megan.

01:07:30.940 It's like all the geeks you went to school with, you wonder whatever happened to, this is where they

01:07:35.820 wound up in the rapid resistance choir. It is Portlandia. Like if Portlandia aired that exactly

01:07:42.520 as was, I would have thought that they wrote it and it was satire. That's incredible.

01:07:46.740 Maybe this will do the trick. Maybe Trump will see the choir and have second thoughts about the

01:07:52.540 deportation or Kristi Noem. She could be moved by them. I don't know if you missed this, but over in

01:07:58.820 Boston, they have a lunatic running the city, Mayor Wu. She made it completely, you know, a sanctuary city.

01:08:04.920 She's never seen the illegal she wants to deport. And because Trump feels differently, they decided

01:08:09.600 to bust out the following protest there just last week, which we talked about. This was on

01:08:15.420 Tuesday. It's not five.

01:08:17.480 My name is Veronica.

01:08:19.940 Everybody rolling your eyes.

01:08:23.960 So we're going to get started with a very slow song, a beautiful song that is about a shepherd

01:08:28.980 working in a field that is free for everyone.

01:08:32.580 It's a mariachi band complete with the outfits. All of them. Yeah, you get it. You get it. You get

01:08:50.940 it. So this is, they've taken to song, Emily, because that's like the deepest and oldest form

01:08:58.240 of protest. And if you could roll the R, which I can only do a very lame amount, roll it, so much

01:09:04.480 the better. I mean, it's just like, did too many people watch the Bob Dylan movie like in the last

01:09:11.120 year? Like there's a, there's a big difference between what they're doing, by the way, and the

01:09:14.960 like 1960s that they're trying to LARP as, which is that that was actual dissent. And this is, this is

01:09:20.540 the entire support of, like you said, has to be one of the most well-funded legal causes in history.

01:09:26.240 Uh, but of course this is like where they're finding meaning and purposes as these wannabe

01:09:31.520 rebels, uh, when they have the entire like corporate media on their side and really, really

01:09:36.940 well-funded nonprofit organizations. And the reason that we are in this mess in the first

01:09:42.260 place, and just like, this cannot be repeated enough. Uh, most people who crossed during the

01:09:47.020 Biden administration were trafficked. I went down there, I was talking to someone at a migrant

01:09:51.200 shelter in Northern Mexico in 2021. And he told me, um, everyone who comes is trafficked. Everyone

01:09:58.780 who comes is trafficked. You pay a cartel, you get trafficked into the United States and you become

01:10:03.400 an absolute, you become a victim of the trafficking because you're paying cartels. Cartels are getting

01:10:09.280 richer and richer. And then on top of all of that, the United States system gets absolutely exploded

01:10:14.420 because the Biden administration is allowing, is using the system to lure people here. Then they

01:10:19.600 have children here. They create lives here. They, uh, go on to work for businesses here who become

01:10:24.180 dependent on them and the system gets completely screwed up. And then we're expected to have

01:10:28.920 crocodile tears in cases like Kilmar Obrego Garcia, when this is the most ludicrous case to treat as a

01:10:35.160 martyr because he has all of these different serious allegations against him. It's a pattern of

01:10:40.260 allegations over the course of years. So no, it's the idea that we should have sympathy in Boston,

01:10:46.440 for example, there was, I think it was Dominican. Um, there was accused of killing like a beloved

01:10:51.360 local sandwich shop owner. You have to have laws. And what I think we see in these cases,

01:10:59.040 what they should have been chanting in their pink vests is open borders. That's how they should have

01:11:02.920 been singing for Kilmar Obrego Garcia, because there's no limiting principle. They will do these protests

01:11:08.600 even when the most legitimate cases of deportation are on the table. Don't make no mistake about it.

01:11:14.240 It's not about Kilmar Obrego Garcia. It is about having any border security.

01:11:19.400 We have our own criminals here. We don't need to import them from El Salvador or Venezuela or

01:11:26.180 anywhere else. And on top of all these illegals who got in under Biden, someplace between 10 and 20

01:11:32.000 million. We, I just saw this past weekend on X, the government had posted a tweet. We have 55 million

01:11:40.800 foreign visa holders right now in the United States, 55 million in a country of 330 million. My God,

01:11:50.600 get out, go home. Why are we so overrun with foreigners? Like we need to have a country again.

01:11:56.300 We need walls. We need to say no to all of this mass immigration, legal and illegal. I mean,

01:12:01.000 it's just too much. We're overwhelmed. The systems are overwhelmed. 55 million is ridiculous. I mean,

01:12:06.760 what are we, France? Um, so now these corporations are addicted to cheap labor and that's part of

01:12:12.920 what's so unfair about this. That's absolutely right. That's why Bacha Angersargon is totally

01:12:17.760 right on the fact that like, I know you don't want to pay the Americans the working wage. We'll do it.

01:12:22.780 This is why the Republican party by the day is becoming more aligned with, you know, union leaders

01:12:28.220 than it ever has been before. Because like the whole chamber of commerce, these corporate,

01:12:32.420 you know, bosses who just want to exploit foreign labor to pad their bottom, their bottom line is

01:12:37.560 very unattractive. More and more of us are saying, screw you. I like, I think most Americans would

01:12:42.760 pay a couple of dollars more here and there to help their fellow Americans get, have real jobs as

01:12:47.420 opposed to like farming out all of our jobs overseas. Apple, hi, looking at you, or just using the

01:12:54.080 so-called cheap labor here on farms and elsewhere, hotels, because they say, oh, Americans won't do

01:12:59.000 that job. If you pay them well, they will pay them. Americans have no problem getting their hands

01:13:03.120 dirty. Lots of white plumbers out there and white janitors out there who will happily get their hands

01:13:08.100 dirty for an honest day's wage. Pay it. Okay. Um, the white house is tweeting. This is from the official

01:13:15.340 white house account, a picture of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. It says MS 13 under it. And it reads still

01:13:23.180 not a Maryland dad. Um, that's the white house reaction. Here's reaction from resident twit,

01:13:30.500 Jasmine Crockett sought seven.

01:13:37.260 Ice for the most part is nothing but a ride. That's all they were supposed to do for the most

01:13:41.280 part. Right. It's like, you know what? This person is undocumented or this person reentered the country

01:13:47.460 illegally, all the things. And then they have an ice hold and then ice gets them. So they can

01:13:53.720 send them out. That's all ice is supposed to do. Look at them as a fancy Uber driver for immigrants.

01:13:58.260 That's all they're supposed to do. And now they're running into places and doing raids and they're

01:14:04.080 falling all over each other, injuring each other. Like we are a joke, but it is a bad nightmare of a joke.

01:14:10.880 So ice is really supposed to be no more than an Uber ride for the Azalea. This is an elected

01:14:18.100 representative to Congress, a Democrat from Texas. Listen, like, even if you don't agree with

01:14:24.320 everything that is, ice has done during the Trump administration, ice was a joke during the Biden

01:14:28.160 administration when they could not, could not prosecute the laws of the country because certain

01:14:34.180 sanctuary cities, which I believe Jasmine Crockett represents the Houston area. Houston is one of them.

01:14:38.380 That is a joke. I wrongly said Dallas one time and literally every one of my Dallas viewers wrote

01:14:43.020 me to beg me to stop saying that. So you know what's a joke is all of the cartels realizing that

01:14:49.640 they can funnel bodies up to the United States and get rich off of it and then use them because

01:14:56.440 they're indebted as drug mules. But first of all, they're trafficking them to the tune of billions of

01:15:01.820 dollars. That is what makes the United States a joke. That is what makes ice look like a joke.

01:15:06.880 It was Joe Biden that made ice look like a joke. It was Gavin Newsom who was sitting there laughing

01:15:10.920 along as Jasmine Crockett said that that made ice look like a joke. And a lot of people, I mean,

01:15:16.160 it has created a system. This is the part that I think gets totally under discussed. It has created

01:15:21.360 a system where now because we are so addicted to cheap labor, it's going to take us a long time to

01:15:26.800 readjust in the sort of like jobs department to what a country should look like because people now need

01:15:33.640 to realize that if there are mass deportations, there are job openings in these trades. There

01:15:39.220 are job openings that have gone to H-1B visas literally for years and years and years that

01:15:44.320 could have, you know, we have to restart training for some of these positions because we've gotten

01:15:48.060 so accustomed to H-1B labor and it makes us just look pathetic. That is the joke. It is not

01:15:53.280 actually enforcing the laws.

01:15:56.760 Okay, let's shift gears now to crime. We're kind of talking about crime anyway, but

01:16:01.380 crackdown on crime as unleashed by the Trump administration. It's happening in your city.

01:16:06.760 They have made significant strides. It's great to go 13 days without a murder unless you're a leftist,

01:16:12.780 in which case you're against it. Property crimes down roughly 19 percent. Violent crime down 17 percent.

01:16:18.960 Robberies and car break-ins down by more than 40 percent. Burglary up six. What do we make of that?

01:16:25.420 It's almost like they've decided they can't do it on the streets, so they're just going to sneak

01:16:29.140 around to the back door of people's homes and sneak in. At least six percent of them have.

01:16:34.020 But in any event, overall-

01:16:34.860 You're literally making me wonder if I left my back door open. Now I'm like, damn.

01:16:38.160 I know. Don't do that. You got to lock her up. Lock that shit up.

01:16:42.520 Um, the left is still unhappy about it. And now Trump is making noise about possibly going

01:16:50.700 to Chicago next. I mean, of course Chicago needs it. Who would dispute that? They're touting how

01:16:58.980 their crime numbers are way down. Yeah, they're down from last year. They're still astronomically high.

01:17:05.280 Um, you're coming off of record highs from four years ago. So down a little from last year is no

01:17:11.980 accomplishment. You're still close to your four-year high. Um, and everybody knows it's the, it's, I

01:17:17.780 mean, the South Side of Chicago is, is like a war zone. If you want to get killed, that's where you'd

01:17:23.120 go. Like, if you just wanted to be killed in random drive-by gunfire, go to the South Side of

01:17:28.720 Chicago. Um, so Trump is making some noise about possibly going there next with federal troops,

01:17:33.780 but it's a much bigger deal, Emily, uh, because there's not clear federal authority for that.

01:17:39.940 I don't know what federal authority he's even arguing he can use. Personally, I don't see it.

01:17:45.860 I'm open-minded to being shown it. Um, but there's not some insurrection underway that he needs to tamp

01:17:53.080 down in Chicago. And that's one of the limited grounds in which you could send federal troops in

01:17:58.540 there. And so my own sad conclusion right now is that he doesn't have the legal authority to do it.

01:18:03.780 That doesn't mean he's not going to try. Thoughts?

01:18:06.960 Yeah, I think that's probably right. And it's one thing to have, so the National Guard in D.C. is now

01:18:11.400 armed. So it's, it's one thing to have armed National Guard in the federal city where, as you

01:18:16.180 point out, Megan, there's federal authority, but also there's, the federal authority is there for

01:18:19.740 a reason. And it's because you have the entire federal workforce, not the entire, but you have

01:18:23.140 the core of the federal workforce here in Washington, D.C. It's where Congress is. It's where the

01:18:27.220 president is. There are all kinds of like intelligence community. There are all kinds of obvious

01:18:30.680 reasons that you should have a federal city that is well-protected, safe, stable, clean,

01:18:36.140 all of those things. And we've taken that for granted for a really long time. It's actually

01:18:39.460 why home rule exists is why that's there is because this is as the founders envisioned

01:18:44.100 it, the federal city. Now we have tolerated just unbelievable levels of suffering in the

01:18:51.140 black community, in our cities for way too long in this country. And so what doesn't seem

01:18:56.300 like an emergency to us because we're used to really high levels, even if they've come

01:18:59.740 down from extreme highs in the nineties and early aughts, uh, they're still very high and

01:19:05.060 particularly compared to other places in the world. I mean, we're talking about like third

01:19:08.880 world countries in some cases, in some cities, uh, in the South side of Chicago being one of

01:19:13.220 them. So, uh, it is, it should be seen by all of us as an emergency. It should have been

01:19:17.720 seen by all of us as an emergency for many, many years. Uh, does that justify armed troops?

01:19:22.660 In my opinion, no, but it justifies, uh, taking a pause and saying no more of acting like this

01:19:29.640 isn't an emergency because the numbers are going down or because it's not 1994 that has

01:19:34.480 to end. People are suffering. This has immiserated, uh, generations of people in beautiful cities

01:19:41.120 in wonderful parts of the city. And if you go and talk to people in ward eight here in

01:19:45.480 Washington, DC, they will tell you that they will tell you that they're sick. I mean, the

01:19:48.980 amount of quotes, uh, in local papers being like, yeah, I would love to see heightened law

01:19:54.200 enforcement in my neighborhood. Um, whether if for people in ward eight, which is, uh,

01:19:58.720 Southeast DC Anacostia, I'm sure you could find the exact same thing in Chicago and many

01:20:02.440 other cities. I'm sure Gavin Newsom, who was laughing along to Jasmine Crockett there could

01:20:05.700 go find many people saying the same in Los Angeles and Oakland. Um, but you know, that it's,

01:20:11.240 it's a fine line in the United States. If you have armed troops in the cities, uh, it's

01:20:15.740 just not our tradition. Uh, maybe it's been a libertarian streak. I really don't want to

01:20:19.460 have to see that. Uh, and there's a lot more to do, uh, whether it's in DC or other cities.

01:20:23.400 I mean, yeah, there's a lot, there's a long way to go. And I hope the Trump administration

01:20:27.120 is in it for the long haul. Normally you would not be able to federalize and deploy the troops,

01:20:33.300 uh, over objections, uh, from the locals, unless there's a rebellion or danger of a rebellion

01:20:39.620 against the government. Um, so that's, that's going to be a tough one though. You know, he just

01:20:47.380 did deploy troops to LA, 4,000 members of the California national guard and 700 active duty

01:20:55.400 Marines there. So we'll see whether he tries to do sort of an LA situation in Chicago, but he's

01:21:01.660 certainly, he's being explicit about threatening it. Here's Trump in Sot 21.

01:21:06.000 Chicago is a mess. You have an incompetent mayor, grossly incompetent. And, uh, we'll

01:21:15.120 straighten that one out probably next. That'll be our next one after this. Uh, and it won't

01:21:19.980 even be tough. And the people in Chicago, Mr. Vice President, are screaming for us to come.

01:21:26.760 They're wearing red hats, just like this one, but they're wearing red hats. Uh, African American

01:21:32.520 ladies, beautiful ladies are saying, please, president Trump, come to Chicago, please. Uh,

01:21:39.760 I did great with the black vote, as you know, and, uh, they want something to happen. So I think

01:21:45.020 Chicago will be our next. Beautiful ladies. They're saying, please come. So the thing like

01:21:51.000 in LA, he went out there because the troops were supposed to protect ice. Ice was coming

01:21:55.500 under attack, like actually physical attack. So they went in support of the ice officers,

01:22:01.420 Chicago, just sending the troops there, not in support of any federal mission, but just,

01:22:05.820 this is going to be a lot tougher legally, uh, for him to pull off. So, I mean, it's, and it's too bad.

01:22:11.840 Honestly, it's too bad because there's no appetite amongst the locals to provide protection for Chicago

01:22:17.940 whatsoever. And it's not just the South side that, yeah, you get killed on the South side of Chicago,

01:22:22.740 but Michigan Avenue mag mile, as they call it, magnificent mile used to be one of the most

01:22:28.100 beautiful, safest places you could possibly go walk tourist stuff, all that. Now you got to worry

01:22:34.240 now, like you don't know what you're going to encounter on, on mag mile. Here's their loser mayor.

01:22:39.760 Who's got like under 11% approval. Brandon Johnson, truly one of the worst public servants. I use that

01:22:46.960 term in quotes in America. Here he is on the Trump offer. Is it that the red, is it an offer? It's

01:22:54.640 stop 22. The reaction. We're going to remain firm. We'll take legal action. Um, but the people of this

01:23:01.380 city are accustomed to rising up against tyranny. And if that's necessary, I believe that the people

01:23:07.980 of Chicago will stand firm alongside of me as I work every single day to protect the people of this

01:23:13.580 city. I don't even know what that means. We're going to rise up and we're going to, we're going

01:23:18.600 to rise up. We're going to fight tyranny. What does that mean? Is he calling for them to rise up

01:23:22.820 against federal troops? Because nobody wants that. And truly look at what's happening in DC. As you

01:23:28.460 just point out, you read the paper, you see all these testimonials, mostly by black DC residents

01:23:33.320 saying how happy they are. It's all over Twitter. Now X, how happy. In fact, we have a soft montage

01:23:39.760 of the reaction from the actual people who are benefiting from the crime fighting. And I got

01:23:45.880 dollars to donuts. The people of Chicago are going to feel the same as these folks I'm about to show

01:23:50.020 you feel. Um, so it's, it's like one of those things like they need it. He doesn't, I don't think

01:23:56.160 he has the authority to do it, which makes the next move very interesting. In any event, here's some DC

01:24:01.200 residents. We need all the protection that we can get in the city because the city is really getting

01:24:08.260 dangerous. A person like me at this age, I have to make sure to come home before sundown. I enjoy

01:24:15.580 having extra security. I think it's a good thing. I mean, you want to feel safe when you're out and

01:24:21.060 about, especially females. It's a good thing because it actually reinforces the fact that

01:24:25.880 America is secure, safe, stable as a moderate, as a centrist. I think something needs to be done.

01:24:31.300 I have three kids. I'm about to start teaching next week. I want it to be safe. I think this is long

01:24:36.440 overdue. I've been one of the national guards in this area for years. I like it. I love it.

01:24:41.480 I feel safe already. The mayor been in power so long. I think she's kind of used to how things are

01:24:47.060 going. And I think Donald Trump really wants to clean it up. And, um, I'm all for it. The crime is

01:24:52.400 outrageous and it is, you do feel unsafe. I don't know, you know, what's going to occur, whether it's

01:25:00.560 going to be really beneficial for us or not, but something needs to happen.

01:25:06.020 Every single one of those were black people for the listening audience saying they welcome the

01:25:11.180 Trump intervention there. And honestly, I'm like, I have been on the South side of Chicago. I have met

01:25:16.280 the mothers whose sons are getting killed in the streets every day. I will bet you, Emily, they would

01:25:22.020 be thrilled to see more law enforcement there and something resembling a safe neighborhood for their

01:25:28.080 children. Yeah. And what that looks like exactly. I mean, I don't know, but Brandon Johnson is using

01:25:35.120 tyranny in the wrong way. I mean, the tyranny is the lawlessness. That is the tyranny, the lawlessness

01:25:39.600 that is created by policymakers who hold people in these neighborhoods hostage to policies that are

01:25:47.700 just their ideology. So these ideological experiments, these are hostages to ideological experiments. That

01:25:53.340 is the tyranny in this case. And just from that montage, I've been living here in DC for almost 15

01:25:59.120 years. There was the last lady was speaking in front of a Whole Foods. That Whole Foods had a

01:26:04.600 shooting at the cashier. The amount of crime that has happened just at that Whole Foods, just within

01:26:09.740 the last few years is unbelievable. There was another person standing in front of the wharf. The wharf is

01:26:15.700 where Pete Hegseth took pictures with some federal troops in DC and got mocked for doing it because it's a

01:26:20.440 very nice, fancy area. Well, I know people who had to duck at dinner because they were caught in a

01:26:25.540 crossfire on a patio at the wharf when there was a shooting on a Friday or Saturday night. So the

01:26:31.460 idea that this is not, I mean, the polling shows that people in DC don't approve of what Trump is

01:26:37.080 doing. But what we heard from all of those people, those DC residents, is they want something to be done

01:26:43.780 and they support more law enforcement. So the specifics, you may get people who are often saying,

01:26:49.700 well, okay, maybe we don't want armed, national, whatever. But what they're telling you in Ward 8

01:26:53.900 and Ward 7, they are begging for a release from the tyranny of this ideological experiment. And

01:27:01.460 that's the real tyranny. And that's what they want to end. And they do need more law enforcement. They

01:27:05.600 also need more crackdowns on truancy. DC has a massive truancy problem. I bet it's the same in

01:27:10.420 Chicago, in a lot of those schools in Chicago. So there are all kinds of things that can be done

01:27:15.080 that don't necessarily involve armed troops in Chicago that can help release people from the

01:27:20.000 tyranny of these stupid, stupid policies. They're not going to get any help with the truancy. The

01:27:24.880 Chicago Teachers Union runs that city. They have, they are all powerful. And once again, just like we

01:27:32.580 saw moments ago outside of the Kilmer, Abrego Garcia remarks, they express themselves in interpretive

01:27:40.120 dance. It's, it was song in the one case. And I remind you of the interpretive dance we were

01:27:45.200 subjected to during COVID by the Teachers Union of Chicago. Make it make sense. Make it make sense.

01:27:56.320 Safety. She's twirling. Safety. Is essential. Is essential. Keep our students and our teachers safe.

01:28:12.680 Safe. Oh my God. Completely able-bodied young women who refused to go in and teach the children.

01:28:19.280 They were fine. They wanted to collect their paycheck and do nothing other than the interpretive

01:28:22.920 dance at home. They're matched truly by their trilling liberals with the Roldars and the others

01:28:30.020 as part of the resistance choir. And this is, they think they're doing something. While kids are not

01:28:37.240 learning, while illegals like Kilmer are bringing more illegals into the country and allegedly beating

01:28:44.100 their wives. And while American citizens, actual Americans are getting shot and killed in places like

01:28:50.420 D.C. and Chicago and Baltimore, Maryland, where Trump also had a fiery exchange with the governor

01:28:56.600 of Maryland down there about what a shit show it's been in Baltimore and why he won't do anything

01:29:03.200 about it, by the way, on the shortlist as possible Democratic presidential candidates, Westmore of

01:29:08.000 Maryland. I mean, what do they want? Again, this is the same thing with the immigration. There's no

01:29:17.320 limiting principle for them. They don't actually want enforcement at the end of the day. They want

01:29:23.020 to nod at enforcement. They want something, but their ideology, that's why all of this is happening.

01:29:27.100 That's why you have people saying you can't deport someone like Kilmer Abrego Garcia. And that's why you

01:29:31.960 had the border policies of the Biden administration is because fundamentally the people who designed them

01:29:35.780 believe in open borders and or they're cowardly to the people who believe in open borders and they

01:29:41.000 just wanted they thought they could get away with giving them a little of this, a little of that.

01:29:44.400 And it's exactly what happened in Washington, D.C., where you have a corporate Democrat like Muriel

01:29:48.640 Bowser. You can do the same thing with Eric Adams. He tried to have policies that that bowed to the left

01:29:55.360 wing of the party and said cost benefit analysis. It's better to have crime policies to do progressive

01:30:00.000 crime policies for a little bit. And they realized that it was untenable and cracked down again. Same thing

01:30:05.060 with Muriel Bowser. She was happy to say it was a sanctuary city. They were all happy to go along

01:30:08.740 with the crime bill. And now they're begging for the crime bill to be changed and revoked because

01:30:13.440 they realized the results of the experiment. But but fundamentally, where does it stop? Are they

01:30:19.040 willing to actually give the middle finger to the base that is saying anything short of full

01:30:25.280 progressive crime policy implementation is racist and bigoted and classist when, of course,

01:30:31.040 that is insane. It is all of these policies that hurt underclass or lower class and under advantage

01:30:38.000 minorities, blacks, Hispanics who are then suffering in these neighborhoods and tell you they don't want

01:30:42.800 to fund the police. So there is no like that's the thing. What do they actually believe? I want to know

01:30:47.340 what Muriel Bowser, Eric, like what do you actually believe should be a Brandon Johnson, Wes Moore?

01:30:52.920 What is what should enforcement look like? Because if it's getting rid of cashless bail,

01:30:57.240 if it's getting rid of all of these things, you're in a wake up call for what that's actually

01:31:01.680 going to look like. And we all saw it. And some of them walked it back. But we all saw the experiment

01:31:05.260 play out during COVID. I think it's great. He's trying to do something about cashless bail.

01:31:09.820 On that one, he's saying by executive order, I'm going to withdraw federal funding for any city that's

01:31:15.100 doing cashless bail. Like I'm not funding your cities if you continue this, because it's pointless to

01:31:20.940 have this revolving door of criminals in criminals immediately out back on the streets doing the same

01:31:25.260 crimes. And now that's interesting because he does have the power of the federal purse. He in

01:31:29.880 Congress and he to some extent. And like he actually probably he's going to get a legal challenge on

01:31:36.720 it, but he's got a better better leg to stand on on that one, I think, than the federal troops.

01:31:43.000 He's also pan, I think, doing an executive order on banning the burning of the flag. That's not going

01:31:51.100 to hold. That's we're going to cover that on an AM update tomorrow. Stand by for more on that. But

01:31:56.040 this one, like you'll get rid of your cashless bail or I'll withdraw my federal funds. That's closer to

01:32:02.300 what he's doing to like the Harvards and the Columbias of the world, which is legal. You may

01:32:07.060 or may not like it, but it's legal. OK, stand by. We're going to do more with Emily on the back end of

01:32:11.680 this. I'm sorry to report to you. Bill Maher has gone absolutely nuts on the overreach by Trump.

01:32:18.300 Bill's great, but he's got the TDS and the TVDS has reared its ugly head.

01:32:23.220 Let's be honest. Afternoons can be rough. Energy fades. Cravings kick in. Yes, been there. Focus

01:32:30.080 goes out the window. The quick fix, another coffee. But that can lead to jitters or a crash later or

01:32:36.600 you're up all night. Peaks Sun Goddess Matcha is another option for you. Whether it's how the

01:32:43.480 day starts or how it gets back on track, this matcha is not just a drink. It can be a better

01:32:48.940 daily habit. It gives steady energy and helps you focus without the ups and downs. This is not any

01:32:55.380 matcha. It's organic ceremonial grade and grown in Japan's pure volcanic soil far away from pollution.

01:33:02.380 It's shaded longer for more nutrients and blended by tea masters. That's how serious these guys are

01:33:08.500 about quality. The taste is smooth, creamy and rich, not bitter like lower quality matcha. It

01:33:14.900 packs powerful antioxidants to keep you sharp and steady. Right now, you can get up to 20% off for

01:36:21.200 just to enjoy the show if you can't stay up that late like some of us older people. I can relate.

01:36:27.060 Go to AfterPartyEmily.com to subscribe. So, Emily, my old pal Bill Maher is at it again.

01:36:34.840 He's got this. Some of the TDS gets in his eyes sometimes and he says some wacky things and here's

01:36:38.840 one of them, SOC 23. I don't know if I was the first one to use the phrase slow-moving coup.

01:36:45.460 If there was a slow-moving coup, let me just describe some of the steps and you tell me if I'm being

01:36:50.860 paranoid. First, create a masked police force. Normalize snatching people off the street.

01:36:56.600 Normalize seeing the car, the National Guard and the military. Have other states start sending

01:37:02.500 their troops. So, you have in the Capitol a sort of permanent police presence.

01:37:10.200 So, when an election dispute might come up, just hypothetically, I'm going to pretend for the rest

01:37:18.620 of the adoration that the Democrats do have a chance of winning and they might win the next election.

01:37:23.840 I just don't think they're ever going to take power because this is what's going to happen.

01:37:28.700 Because I think this coup is going to go off a lot smoother than the last one.

01:37:33.520 Oh. So, you see, Trump's not going to leave office and that's why he's bringing troops

01:37:38.840 into D.C. so they can be permanently stationed there. So they can make sure he stays in office

01:37:44.780 for a third term, even though it's unconstitutional. And the masked police,

01:37:49.520 meaning the ICE agents whose homes are being doxed, whose children are being harassed,

01:37:55.440 they don't want to be doxed by these illegals and the activists really around the illegals who are

01:38:00.980 doing it. That's why the ICE agents are wearing the masks. That's been pretty clear. People have

01:38:05.880 talked about that from ICE. The troops in D.C., again, we've gone over that here. Federalized

01:38:11.120 forces setting up a permanent security state. Okay. By the way, was there anything close to the

01:38:15.860 current, I mean, is the current so-called security state anywhere close to what the Dems had after

01:38:21.520 J-6 for months on end in D.C.? Like, nobody complained about that. It was like an insurrection

01:38:28.620 that was like two hours long, but we had to have D.C. armed guards all over the city for months on

01:38:34.240 end, Emily. It's just crazy talk. Journalists couldn't get in to cover Congress. Like, they made

01:38:39.420 it almost, like, they made it very, very difficult for journalists to get in through Nancy Pelosi's

01:38:43.260 little fence, not little, big fence, to go cover Congress at the time, and also members of the

01:38:47.940 public. It was very hard for them. This was all done under COVID emergency measures to get in and

01:38:52.300 talk to their representatives. Also, this is not permanent as of right now. It is temporary.

01:38:57.740 They have to renew it every month or so. I think it's like a 20, 30-day thing. So we don't know that

01:39:02.980 there's anything permanent about this in D.C. yet at all. And lastly, if the National Guard had been

01:39:09.580 activated on January 6th, and I know this because I was reporting live from the Capitol in the middle

01:39:16.960 of the mob, you would never have had a mob in the first place if the National Guard had been

01:39:21.940 activated. So I don't actually even know what he's saying. Like, some leftists really cannot get over

01:39:30.180 their belief that Trump is a fascist and that every move he's making is not because he genuinely wants

01:39:37.300 to lower the murder rate in Washington, D.C. But there has to be some ulterior, like, very dark

01:39:46.540 motive. Ali Velshi, who's now on MSNBC, went off on this. Again, it was a slow Friday. Same thing.

01:39:54.840 Now I know it was a really slow Friday. I mean, I really need a life. But he's same exact tone,

01:40:03.240 you know, like, this is very dark and Trump's seizing control of institutions. It's like, no.

01:40:09.880 What's happening is you people had control of every institution from the universities to the Kennedy

01:40:18.420 Center to big business on down. And Trump is bit by bit taking on these institutions to say,

01:40:26.660 what you're doing with respect to skin color based hirings is illegal. You must stop it.

01:40:32.300 What you're doing over here with anti-Semitism running rampant and the open harassment of Jews

01:40:39.140 actually happens to be illegal. What you're doing over here and you're hiring practices,

01:40:43.220 you can't do that anymore. The Smithsonian needs an overhaul. Yes, it does, because we're obsessed

01:40:48.660 with slavery. The Kennedy Center only rewarded leftist artists who were woke. We're not doing

01:40:56.220 that anymore. And they can't stand it. He's evening the scales. He's like removing or trying

01:41:03.060 to remove the leftist poison from all these institutions so that it just settles down to

01:41:08.820 something closer to normal and they can't stand it. Well, and they're not helping themselves with

01:41:15.980 these overreactions. And I actually have to, like, restrain myself sometimes and, like, think a little

01:41:20.840 bit further to not have Trump derangement syndrome. Like, think a couple of steps ahead, because some

01:41:25.740 of the stuff that Bill Maher was listing, for example, I don't like that ICE agents have neck

01:41:30.640 gaiters pulled up over their faces. I just don't like it. I don't like it as an American. Is it part

01:41:35.180 of a slow motion coup? No. And that's where, like, is there a permanent police state in Washington, D.C.

01:41:42.400 when Donald Trump has invoked temporary measures? No. No, no, no, no. And so sometimes it's just we are

01:41:48.780 because Trump's opponents overreact, we end up getting two choices. You end up with insurance

01:41:55.000 policy, Peter Strzok, FBI, or then Donald Trump putting Matt Gaetz in charge of the Justice Department.

01:42:02.600 And so instead of which was the first pick, obviously. So instead of just taking a breath and having a

01:42:07.800 rational, reasoned, democratic, center-left response, you end up with insanity. And it's

01:42:14.000 like we can't have a normal conversation because of it. Mm-hmm. Bill Maher had on Andrew Huberman

01:42:19.460 of Huberman Labs, and he's like a health expert. And he gave one tip saying if you can't fall asleep,

01:42:27.600 like if you wake up in the middle of the night and you can't fall back to sleep, to take deep breaths

01:42:31.320 and to close your eyes and to move your lefts, your eyes left and right, left and right. That is hard.

01:42:38.380 That literally happened to me last night. It happens a lot. Me too. Oh my gosh. I saw the

01:42:42.340 clip go viral. I did the same thing. Yeah. I'm like, it doesn't, try it. Close your eyes and try

01:42:46.600 to move your eyes left to right. It's like, you're not sure if they're moving. Are they moving? I don't

01:42:50.720 know if they're moving. I can't really tell, but I don't feel them actively moving. It's very hard.

01:42:55.160 And I got to be honest, it did not put me back to sleep. Andrew, I'd like another tip, please.

01:42:59.600 I speak for all women of a certain age. Emily, thank you. We'll check you out on After Party

01:43:06.300 tonight at 10 PM. And we'll see all of you tomorrow with the fifth column. Love those guys.
