BREAKING: Trump Naming CNN Star as NEW Press Sec — Karoline Leavitt Heads to FOX?! | Trish Regan

The host, Trish Regan, speculates that CNN commentator Scott Jennings will replace Caroline Leavitt as White House press secretary, citing his combative style and ability to defend President Trump. She praises Jennings for countering critics on CNN, particularly in defending Natalie Harp against Senator John Ossoff’s remarks, which she deems disrespectful. Regan argues Democrats are not the party of women, using Ossoff’s insinuations as evidence. She also highlights Jennings’ handling of Iran, drug price reductions, and socialism, suggesting he could effectively manage press briefings. Regan compares Jennings favorably to Alina Habba, while noting Leavitt may join Fox News. The show shifts to Democratic failures: Abdul El-Sayed’s sinking Senate campaign in Michigan and New York City Mayor Mamdami’s publication of 900,000 homeowner names for a pied-à-terre tax, which Regan labels doxing and destructive. She criticizes Mamdami’s absenteeism and alleged communist sympathies. Finally, Regan discusses Alberta’s secession movement, citing economic disparities and dissatisfaction with Canadian governance, and jokingly suggests the U.S. could buy Alberta. Throughout, she promotes her investment platform and encourages subscriptions. The segment blends political commentary, speculation on personnel changes, and criticism of Democratic policies, all framed from a conservative perspective.

Hi, Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Are you looking for a beach read this summer? May I suggest your big wireless bill. It's got suspense, mystery, a slightly flat emotional arc, and a shocking twist where you realize you've been overpaying the entire time. Fortunately, though, Mint's story is better. Every plan, $15 a month, even unlimited. That's it. Happy ending. Zero tears. Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch. Upfront payment of $45 for three months, $90 for six months, or $180 for a 12-month plan required. $15 per month equivalent. Taxes and fees extra. Initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes. May slow when network is busy. See terms. Looks like we are gonna see, gonna get a new press secretary. Well, you knew it was gonna happen at some point, right? Because Caroline said she was leaving. And indeed, she's gonna be out of there in, well, a couple of weeks now, at the end of the month. So who is going to take her place? That's what everybody's been asking. And I think I got an answer for you. Remember to subscribe. Welcome to the show, everyone. I'm Trish Regan. Coming to you live, my last night in London. I'll share some observations with you on this lovely, lovely city coming up a little bit later in the show. But first, we got a CNN star in the lead to become the next press secretary for the United States of America, for the Trump administration. And you know who I'm talking about. I mean, this guy is phenomenal. Phenomenal. I can't say enough good stuff about Scott Jennings because wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. I laugh all the time. I'm like, wait a second. It's like eight versus Scott or six versus Scott or sometimes 12 versus Scott when you turn on CNN on any given night. And you know, the show that he's on, you know, they don't have many ratings over there on CNN, like at all, but it's actually the show that does better than the other shows. And I have a feeling it's because he's there and he's just such an outstanding advocate for this administration and for this president. I mean, case in point, just last night, as everybody was talking about Natalie Harp, this wonderful young woman who's very devoted to her job, very devoted to the president, really credits the president and his healthcare policies for, you know, you know, for being alive today. And she's a very loyal employee and he likes her very much because of that. But you get this idiot, John Ossoff, who, you know, started to say some snarky things and disgusting things and insinuated something he really shouldn't have by saying, oh, you know, the president just wants to get in his plane and travel around the world with Natalie. And she happens to be an attractive, beautiful young woman. I mean, it's just not, it's not a nice thing to say, right? Like, let's just be honest. If you ever thought the Democrat party was supposed to be the party of women, I got news for you, they are not. They are not. Not when they say disgusting stuff like that or insinuate stuff like that just because she happens to be attractive and good at her job. Tell me, I mean, gosh, I'm so sick of hearing how they're about women. Anyway, Scott gets this, he knows this, and he came out swinging in full force, yet again, cementing my thought that this is the guy for the gig. So you said every White House has someone like this. Who is Joe Biden's female that hung around all the time? Well, someone, someone would say Anita would spend a lot of time with him. And are you insinuating they were there for a reason? No, but I would, You just said it happens all the time. No, I'm saying there's always a staffer that's close to the principal, that wants to be close to the principal. And so all that Ossoff said is they spend a lot of time together. You took it for, you took it there. You made the statement about Republican women. No, he took it there. He never said that. Here's the deal. He's been in the Senate since 21. He's had dozens of female staffers ranging from intern all the way up to senior staff positions. What if I walked out here tonight and read a list of their names and said, here's such and such. Here's her title. And boy, it sure is, sure is interesting that she hangs out with John Ossoff so much. I wonder why. Oh, she looks pretty nice. I wonder why he did that. What if I did that? You would be outraged at me. You know why? Because Ossoff would not respond the way that the president responded, nor the White House. They actually gave him more credibility, the way that they responded. So you're okay with this? No, I'm saying it was a statement of fact. But I'm saying, my point, my problem with you is that the outrage that you have on this particular issue versus a really, an issue that really deserves the attention of the entire nation, which is the health and safety of our service members. We have not even raised that topic tonight. But I'm just telling you, I'm saying, we have not raised that topic. You have a choice. You have a choice to be outraged. You're pivoting away. You're pivoting away from a clear, despicable attack. You're a female staffer who climbed to the highest levels of politics. If someone insinuated that you had only done that because of sexual relations with a politician, you would be outraged and I'd be outraged for you. No, I would be outraged if the White House responded the way they did. That's what I would be outraged for. By defending you? No, by name calling. They didn't defend her. That wasn't a defense of her. Yes, they did. They didn't say, you know what, she's qualified. She is qualified. She spent her time. She's gone to college. She's got degrees. They didn't say that. They started calling us up names. So that's not how you defend women. He deserves it. He deserves it. He deserves it. He's right. And you know what the name is? Pee Wee Herman. He kind of looks like him, right? By the way, had you ever even heard of John Ossoff before this? He's like, woo, I'm like a big deal now. No, you're still not. And you know what? By the way, you've actually hurt yourself and you've hurt your party because you have shown yet again who you are, what you are, and the Democrats are not the party of women. I mean, you cannot be a young, attractive woman, apparently, and work with the president of the United States without getting some kind of inference from these jerks. I think I called him a twerp. He's like a little twerp. A Pee Wee Herman twerp, like John Ossoff. Anyway, I digress because the point is, Scott's going to get this gig. I'm pretty sure. I mean, the word on the street and through my sources is one, he would like the job and two, the job is his if he would want it. So you put one and one or two and two together and you're going to come up with Scott Jennings. Now, Alina Haba has also been talked about. In fact, she was just with the president, I believe it was, was it last night or just within the last 48 hours at one of his events. And Scott Jennings, was having dinner with Susie Wiles and he would be working for Susie, right? And if you're Susie, you want somebody who's going to come out there gangbusters every single day. I'm not saying that Alina wouldn't do that, but gosh, I mean, Scott is like, he takes them all on, right? He's got like eight against him on any given night and that is basically what holding those press conferences would be because you've got like the onslaught of 200 members of the media coming at you one after another and you have to be able to fire back at all of them and be very consistent with the party line in defense of this president. Let me go to another example. Here he is dealing with the morons on CNN. God bless him. Boy, I bet, you know what, this would be good for him. He can get out of that gig. Either that or drive a much higher price tag. Anyway, he's on CNN and he's having to deal with these idiots about Iran and one of them in particular is especially annoying. Also, another little twerp and maybe like 10 years old who, no, I'm kidding. He might be 20 and he's trying to get under Scott's skin about the war in Iran. Listen to this. Again, I just want to make my point here. He's got it covered on every angle, whether it's Natalie, whether it's Iran, whether it's the economy. Watch. I mean, honestly, they have been at war with us for 47 years. We all know that Scott Jennings is more than happy to defend a war with a country that starts with the letters IRA that we are currently failing that is going to put us trillions and trillions of dollars more in debt. I was only, I was only a few years old while you were in the administration defending prior endless wars. Now, this war is failing. Eight weeks is endless to you? Okay, you said it was going to be four to six weeks. You have the attention span of a gnat? I debated you on TV four to six weeks ago and you said we were weeks away from it. Now you're making condescending remarks because you can't defend the fact that this war is not going your way. Wait, one more time. Not going your way? Name one political concession. Hey, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa. Honestly, excuse me. I'm not going to have this guy's face on my face. Everybody, hang tight, okay? Now, everybody calm down, okay? We're having a debate. You can respond to the points that he's making. Can you name a political concession that we've got here? I just had a flashback to the war the skinheads had in my studio. I would be mad if I had to defend the war, too. I would be mad if I had to defend the war. Scott, you can respond. We have a very simple goal to keep terrorists and a terrorist regime from having a nuclear weapon that can threaten the United States, our interests in the region, our allies in Europe, anybody else in the world. So you can't answer the question. Thank you. That is a very simple goal. I would get mad, too. We're going to leave it there, guys. Next for us. You know, again, I mean, he got a little flustered there. I think he was getting a little annoyed with this kid flinging his hands into Scott's face, and he's like, get your effing hand out of my face. But you kind of need that, right? You need a little bit of bravado. You need somebody who's willing to kind of level these twerps. It's kind of a theme today. We get a lot of twerps out there. Anyway, I think that he would do phenomenally well at this. Really, really well. So we saw him, you know, talking about Natalie. We saw him talking about Iran. And then, you know, how about just talking about, in general, socialism and how much it is really costing the Democrat Party overall. And boy, were they dumb to put El-Sayed, Abdul El-Sayed in as their nominee in Michigan, right? I do think Democrats have made a huge mistake with Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan. But I think all these races are going to be close. I think the Republicans do have good candidates. And I think the Republicans are going to have plenty of resources. And I think they've got a story to tell. Just Friday, we learned that for the first time in 60 years, prescription drug prices are falling. Every single politician everybody here has ever worked for said they were going to do it. Trump and the Republicans finally did it. There is a story to tell and there is a bright line contrast to be had in this election. It's not good enough just to call them socialists. You have to say what you've done and you have to say what the impact of their policies would be. But I think we've got enough candidate quality and talent to do that. - You know, I gotta tell ya, he's really good. like that was a really special pivot. So he not just, he wasn't just talking about Al-Said and how miserably Al-Said is doing in the polls, but he then turned it, right? Because remember, guys, remember, you cannot be a party that is just against something. You can't just be against Mamdami and Al-Said is popular and, you know, appealing as that is, don't get me wrong. You've got to be for something. And in this case, he took that negativity surrounding Al-Said and he spun it forward. And he said, look at what we have done for healthcare. And that is, look at how we have brought prescription drug prices down. And so he's feeding them a different narrative. And this is incredibly important. And this is what he knows. And this is, by the way, what Susie Wiles knows. In other words, you need to basically manage the media and, you know, you can go around and fire to fire to fire and put all of these fires, but you can also kind of nudge them in a certain direction. And you want to point them into the positive stuff while still, yeah, hey, you know, giving them a little bit of color and a little bit of flair as this president so aptly does every single day. I wanted to look at a statistic, though, that our friends over at Media Research Center had sent along. And this I found really fascinating. And I'm just going to pull it up for you right now, because when I think about how the media reported, well, how the media reported nonstop on inflation being what it was under this president. And I think that's a really important thing. And I think and then you compare and contrast what it actually was under the previous president. I'm talking about Biden's economy, which was just a dumpster fire if I ever saw one. And Media Research Center put this out. And I thought this was really critical. So here you see Scott, of course, talking about drug prices and how those are coming down. Look at what Media Research Center just put out. If you look at midterm. Runaway inflation they had under Biden. I mean, Biden was awful. Eight point six percent. And then you compare and contrast what this president's had, which is 3.6%. I mean, that is a very different story. And yet, what do you hear from the media nonstop? Inflation, inflation, inflation, inflation. And you hear about the war. And actually, it was also looking at this gas prices. And, you know, everything is local, right? So don't get me wrong if you're paying through the nose in California. I feel for you. But, well, you live in California. And you've got these people that decide to put on every possible tax they can think of onto energy prices. But overall, gas prices actually aren't tremendously higher now than they were even last year. So that is actually, I mean, there's a lot of exaggeration that goes on. And it's because the media is this echo chamber. And they want to, you know, turn out one particular story that is always against Trump. And so what he's saying is, look, you know, you can go after the bad guys, the quote-unquote jihadists, as the president is now calling them. But you've also got to, and he didn't explain it in this way. I'm explaining it to you. You've got to actually have. You've got to have the goods on what actually is happening. And so I think he'd do a really good job standing up there at the podium and being, okay, you know, whatever. Yeah, 8.6%. Did you know it's only 3.6%? I mean, great, it's 3.6%. You know, wouldn't we love it to be down? You actually don't want it to go down because then you're fighting deflation, which is a whole harder thing, right? Because why would you buy anything today if you knew it was going to be less next month or less next year? And that's when you get into a deflationary environment. So you actually, believe it or not, don't want that. You want a little bit of modest inflation, which is kind of what keeps the economy going. I know it's kind of crazy to say, but yeah, you need a little bit. And this is what we've got. We got a little bit. This is the Goldilocks, you know. You're actually in a Goldilocks environment. So I think he could do a good job. I think he's smart. And I think he could really represent, in terms of the economy, some of the statistics really well. Now, you know, this is nothing against Alina, who's absolutely beautiful and a sunny personality and very talented, you know, in terms of defending the president. But she had some mistakes. Along the way, dare I say, I know she's got a lot of fans out there, of which I'm one. But in terms of her legal representation of the president, not necessarily perfect. I've often thought she'd be a better PR person, spokesperson, than a legal representative. But if it's between the two, all right, all things being equal, granted, she's prettier. But I think Scott is really going to be a winner at this job. I just think he's going to get this press really, really and truly knocked into shape. And, you know, he's got some tall shoes to fill. Caroline Leavitt was pretty darn good at her job. She may be going to Fox, by the way. That's, again, the word on the street. But, you know, Caroline was extremely, extremely good. And the president knows that, right? The president knows that. In fact, he's talked about it at length. He was just asked about it by a reporter over on Fox, actually, Alexis something, who asked him, you know, what do you think about these shoes that have to be filled? And he agreed. Like, these are some really, really big shoes. And I think, and in saying that, he kind of was joking around. He was like, oh, but could you do it, et cetera. You're pretty good. Look, he knows who he wants. And Susie knows who they want. And right now, I'm just going to tell you who I think, well, I know who I want. But I think, all things being equal, this guy is in the lead. And it's his job to turn down. So let's start a pressure campaign, shall we, for Scott. Hey, Scott, you need to do this for the good of the country. I know you guys are. You're like, Trish, would you ever consider it? Here's the short answer. No. And the long answer, no. But the long answer is really just that I love what I do. I love what I do. I have a family. And I love the flexibility of my job. And I am actually, surprisingly, I know I seem like I'm actually for everything this administration does, but I'm not always, right? And I love having that autonomy because I can always call them out and kind of steer them in a different direction in my own little way. And I have that ability to do that. Being over here. So I know a lot of you, and I thank you for that. It's a wonderful compliment. But I am not as talented, in all seriousness, at doing something like that as I am in doing what I do. Now, he said that, too. He said, look, I haven't agreed with the president on everything. You have that flexibility, though, over on CNN or on your radio show. Once you're there in the White House, you've got to sing that party line. So whatever the president is doing, whatever the administration is doing, you've got to back it up. You've got to back it up. And Caroline was outstanding at that. She really, really was. I mean, I don't think I've ever seen anyone better. I think Scott could be just as good. You know, maybe. Hey, you know, maybe we'll see. Maybe he could be better. I don't know. I'd love to see him take a stab at it. But I think that Caroline was truly one of the best I've ever seen at that job. She was no nonsense. She was very matter-of-fact. She knew her stuff. And she made it really, really clear, you know, that she was all business. And this is this young woman, mother of two now. And so she's looking at her life and saying, OK, do I want to stay here for the next couple of years? Do I want to move on? She's only 28 years old. I mean, that's amazing, right? She's 28 years old. She's the youngest press secretary ever. She's got two kids now at home, little ones. Well, there might be a little bit more flexibility in a TV gig. Just saying. Gosh, especially, especially if you could do a specific hour on television. I know the best hour I ever had. Two o'clock. Two o'clock. You know why? I was effectively kind of off work at three. I mean, I could kind of do the rest of the thing from home after three and I could go see my kids after school. And so I was there in the morning and I was there in the afternoon. Here's something you may not know. Only 14 percent of cancers in the U.S. are caught through routine screenings. Prenuvo's whole body MRI may help close that gap. Screening for over 500 conditions, including most solid tumors, all in under an hour. Prenuvo's body panels also test over 80 biomarkers. For a deeper understanding of your health, no radiation, no contrast, book your scan at prenuvo.com. That's P-R-E-N-U-V-O dot com. Two o'clock, Caroline. That's my recommendation to you. Go get yourself a gig at Fox News at 2 p.m. It is a wonderful time slot from a lifestyle point of view. Or go do, you know, your own thing right on YouTube. I don't think she would, only given her age, given how young she is. And, you know, you kind of almost have to have been. They're done that to see bright lights, big city, and really know that it's not all it's cracked up to be, shall we say, in another conversation for another time. But I'm much happier over here. But I think if I were 28 years old and I had just been at the White House and I had Fox News dangling some kind of offer, hopefully it's a good one, out there in front of me, that would be very compelling and very hard to turn down. So I would imagine that she's probably in a serious conversation. With Fox and Fox is hopefully offering her her own show. They may not, though. They may not, because, again, she's young and they may figure, well, you know, let's season her a little bit and get the audience used to her. Don't forget, the president actually also said in his true social post that she was going to continue on as an advisor. So it makes a little sticky if you're an anchor, you know, on Fox. She's going to continue on as an advisor and she is going to still be a very important person in the MAGA movement. That almost indicated, especially the advisor. Part that she might be going in as a contributor. My advice, if it's worth anything, hold out for an actual gig, get a good time slot and do a show. I've seen her like at various times, especially when she first showed up on the scene and she was there as press, you know, press person. But one night I can't remember what it was. Maybe it was when one of the maybe it was the plane situation. Remember when you had the helicopter that ran into a passenger plane and she was giving all the information? It was like she was the anchor. She was like getting the information in. She was delivering it. And I was like, oh, this girl. is good this girl is good so if I were a producer at Fox right now I'd be hiring her right and so they they're smart over there they're they're not dumb you know they they are the number one conservative network for a reason so these smart people are most likely looking very seriously at her and it's certainly um what I'm hearing through the grapevine so Caroline Lovett off to Fox and the CNN star Scott Jennings looking like he is going to take her gig uh so all's well that ends well right all's well that ends well I think that this would be a very very good setup good for the country good for the Trump administration good for Scott and good for Caroline so big round of applause for all of them um we just heard Scott talking about El Saeed right Abdul El Saeed out in Michigan is like sinking his party I mean sinking sinking sinking almost as much as Mamdami's sink in New York City I mean these guys are not doing so well Mike Rogers is in the lead for the first time this century it looks like Michigan is going to elect a Republican I mean even CNN is stunned at this check out Harry Anton as he delivers this news well I was interested because I couldn't think of another example where you actually had a Democratic candidate who was down at least four points four points in a Senate poll in Michigan and it turns out for this entire century Abdul El Saeed is the only one in a poll that meets CNN standards for publication this is extremely extremely extremely unusual Abdul El Saeed breaking records in the ways that you don't want to in fact he is the first Democrat down by this much as I said essentially since 1994 now yeah 1994 I saw somebody saying yesterday because we put this up on the shorts feed and someone was like whoa that makes me feel old 1994 but you know it actually turned out to be the first Democrat in the entire country to be elected and so I think it's a really interesting thing to see and I think it's a really interesting thing to see and I think it's a really interesting thing to see and I think it's a really interesting interesting thing to see and I think it's a really interesting thing to see and I think it's a really interesting thing to see and I think it's a really interesting thing to see and I think it's a really interesting thing to see and I think it's a really interesting interesting thing to see and I think it's a really interesting thing to see and I think it's a really interesting thing to see and I think it's a really interesting thing to see and I think it's a really interesting thing to see and I think it's a really like glommed on to this jihadist thing and i actually think believe it or not that's going to be very very um appealing dare i say as well for a lot of voters who worry that we're losing our way and that we're losing our culture and they don't want to turn into europe where everybody is dressed especially women a certain way especially in big metropolitan areas let me go to the president speaking about these quote-unquote jihadists as he's now referring to them as they're putting forward making life easier well the one thing is we have jihadists being elected all over the place we have this whether it's communism jihadism it's a lot of friend of mine called up he said you know really you should use the word jihadist because that's what's happening and i'm not sure that anybody if you take a look at what happens in other countries i think that's not going to be necessarily the way we want to live but uh when you look at the radicalism and the craziness of the candidates and the stupidity of what they're suggesting let's get rid of the supreme court let's get rid of the presidency let's get rid of the senate they want to get you know sometimes i'd like to get rid of the senate too but uh i don't say it and i wouldn't do it but you know they want to get rid of the senate they want to get rid of uh ideally the house but they're thinking about maybe keeping the house you know isn't that nice these are people that have been not successful they're people that have been in many cases failures they come from other failed countries and they come here and they tell us how to run our country they come from uh places like i won't mention because i don't want to get myself into a controversy but they come from countries that are not great they come from let's say as an example somalia they come in and then they tell us how to how our constitution how our declaration of independence how it works uh it doesn't work that way and They're not smart. They have no aptitude. They have nothing going and they're telling us how to run our country. And I just don't think it's going to happen. I think that they start off. Now, I may be wrong, but, you know, they start off with a big disadvantage. People don't want to have. So, you know, he's kind of saying what he's about to tweet or put out on to social anyway. And I think that this is going to resonate. OK, I think it's going to resonate. But it's not just like voting against people again, remembering why Scott would actually be really good in this gig at the White House. It's what you're voting for. And so you want to vote for a president who can handle the economy. You want to vote for somebody who's going to help reduce health care costs by still keeping us the capitalist great society that we are. You want to vote for somebody who's going to keep this country safe and to keep those borders locked down. What you don't want to vote for is somebody who's going to gouge you. Just because you own a home. And the Democrats are really imploding in real time. And I have only to look at New York City to know that you look at what happened just now with Mamdami. And it's like one disaster after another. The New York City Council meeting was going on yesterday. And oh, like, you know, look, guys, it's hard to feel that sorry for you, given that you put them in. But Mamdami decided to put in this pied-à-terre tax. Well. In doing so, he actually just decided to publish a list of something like 20,000 homeowners, something like 900,000 addresses. And now he wants these homeowners to prove and they're going to have to, like, hire lawyers and pay money to prove that this is their full time address. He basically said, yeah, you know, if you get a valuation of like a million bucks, I'm putting you on my list. And it was a whole bunch of names and a whole bunch of addresses that, you know, Antifa have added. A lot of people have accused him of doxing. I think this is. Exactly what it is. I think it's actually illegal. I don't think that you can segregate these homeowners out the way he did so. But. I've said that over and over again. It's one thing for me to say it. Take a look at New York City Democrats saying it in this explosive meeting. Watch. So how the administration published more than 900,000 names and addresses showed me that this is how the administration feels about homeowners in this great city. This is something that we need to be ashamed of a hit list of the haves and the have nots, a scarlet letter. They should show up and answer basic questions about the rollout. Somehow today, the administration couldn't find its way within the same building to City Hall to answer questions about it. I find that to be totally unacceptable. I think New Yorkers are entitled to ask a very simple question. What are they hiding? So residents taking issue with the city posting a public list of names and addresses that, quote, may be subject to this tax. People very upset about that. Understandably so. The Washington Post writing this note to future mayors naming and shaming nearly a million homeowners in your city. Not good use of political capital. OK, but I don't think he cares. That's the point. He's by the way, he's like off on vacation. He's not even there to answer any of these questions. And none of his staff went there. To answer any of these questions, because it's a giant F you. OK, you guys get it. You were the ones who put him in there. And he's like, F all of you, I'm off on vacation. You can all duke it out with yourselves. Yeah, the Washington Post is right. Maybe not a good idea to do this, but I don't think he cares. He's swinging for the fences. He doesn't care if he ever gets elected again. In fact, I don't think he cares. At all about that, because I think he's got bigger designs. He wants to destroy the city as fast as he can. If he gets another year to do it, so be it. I have my own suspicions about him. I mean, what kind of mayor of New York is looking to have some kind of meeting with Iran when we're at war with Iran? Tell me, I mean, buddy boy, you got to focus on your potholes, for goodness sakes. But he doesn't care about the potholes or picking up the garbage. No, he wants to just expose people that have worked hard for a living and have managed to own their own apartment in New York City. All these people, you know, we're not talking about super wealthy that are on that list, by the way, I mean, some of them are for sure, but a lot of them are just hardworking, everyday New Yorkers that maybe even voted for him. So, again, it's kind of hard to feel that bad. But I'm just saying, you know what? You get what you pay for. And in this case, you guys paid for a nutjob communist. Frankly, Iran sympathizer. Name Zahran Mamdami, that's from Uganda and just became a citizen like a second ago. Well, seven years ago. I actually think the citizenship thing should be up for grabs because I don't think he was ever disclosing of some of his past antics like. Having expressed support for Hamas in some of his rap songs or his association with the DSA and communism, which actually is a form that immigration. Form that you have to fill out, that is like a checkbox. I mean, have you ever been associated with this stuff? He didn't answer these things fairly or accurately. And so I would say that's fair game. You could probably go back on him and you probably should. But this is messed up. I mean, he's actually out there trying to do some real darn damage. Financial capital of the world. And he's trying to take it down. You've got to be careful who you elect. You've got to be really cautious. This is why Michigan is smart to turn their back on El Sayid. This is why Minnesota should have turned its back. It's too late now. You get all the Somalians, you know, voting for Ilhan Omar. That's why we need Treasury in there doing its work to figure out whether there's terrorist financing activity going on, et cetera. I have my own suspicions, given that her net worth is suddenly went to $30 million and back, she's like worth nothing. Then it's 30 mil and now she's worth nothing again. Go figure something fishy is going on there. And something fishy is going on with Mamdami, who doesn't even bother to show up, just kind of is like, I'm going to sit back and watch this all implode. And this will be just fun watching the wealthy have to defend themselves. Well, they're not the wealthy. There's a lot of plenty of working class people in there. And by the way, even if it is the wealthy, so what? You shouldn't be doing that. You know what's going to happen? I mean, this is pretty simple. Think about it. You know exactly what's going to happen, and it's already happening. Everybody's selling their house. Nobody wants to live in New York City anymore. Thank God I got out when I did. What was that? 2018ish? 2017. I can't remember, but it was a glorious day. I'm like, bye bye, here you got the keys. We had our forever apartment there. We bought a beautiful apartment on Fifth Avenue overlooking the park. It was fantastic. I did everything to my own specifications because I thought, well, I'm never going to flip this. And then, you know, before you knew it, my dad was right. He said, Trish. You're going to need something bigger. I mean, it seemed big, right? It was a New York City pre-war apartment. We had a dining room. That was a big deal. We even had a library. But I had three little kids and, you know, they were climbing the walls. And every day they'd be looking out the window at that beautiful park and they'd be like, it'd be like Saturday morning in the middle of winter. Mom, mom, mommy, mommy, can you please take us outside? And I'm like, and when we moved outside the city and we actually had a yard, the kids would be like, can we go outside? And we'd say, sure, go for it on Saturday morning. And they were like, really? We're like, yeah, but but you're not going to come. No, because you can go yourself. And that was like, wow. I mean, huge liberation for us and for them. Right. But I never thought I was going to sell New York City. And boy, like, I look back on that now. And we needed to because we just needed more space and I needed like normalcy, right? Like living in a city is tough with little kids. But I'm also going to tell you, I am so relieved because I don't know if I could get out of that apartment at a decent trade right now because nobody wants to live there. Nobody is going to invest there. So all the tax revenue that you collect off of those people because they're part of the economy, all the tax revenue that you collect off of property taxes, it's all going bye bye. And you know what? He doesn't care. He doesn't care because he just wants to destroy New York City. I don't think this guy has anything else in mind, which is why he doesn't even have the decency to show up. He just wants to show up for this big, you know, whatever shindig that they were happening, having in New York right now. If you haven't subscribed, please remember to subscribe to the show. I got to tell you about Canada. So Canada is getting a lifeline. Turns out the president's not going through with that big tariff of 50 percent just yet. They get a few more days. Looks like they might even work out something on the pipeline. But I'll tell you, this is the bigger headache for one carny right about now. Alberta, Canada is thinking about seceding. Oh, yeah. Look at this line out in Edmonton. Edmonton is showing up. Just two hour long line. Thousands of people waiting in line to sign this independence petition. So they want to leave Canada. All right. They are going to be voting for real. They just voted. TO SCHEDULE A VOTE ON OCTOBER 19TH OF THIS YEAR. On this referendum question, the wording is effectively, let me make sure I'm precise on this, should Alberta remain a province of Canada, or should the government of Alberta commence the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada? So they want out, out, out, out, out in Alberta. And there's a variety of reasons for this, I'm just going to say. Because, you know, look, Alberta is a very successful, it's like the Texas of Canada. It's a really important part of the Canadian economy because that's where all the energy comes from. I mean, think about the oil sands, which I've traveled to up in Alberta, Canada. It's really cold, really, really, really cold. But this is like the money. It's like the hotspot of Canada. In fact, it contributes really the most economically. It is heavily based in oil and natural gas, those strategic resources. And it's really the vast majority of Canada's proven oil reserves all come straight from Alberta, right? So the people in Alberta are like, wait a second, why are we having to shoulder the burden, if you would, the economic burden? And it's kind of a conservative stronghold, if you would. And the reason you see in this particular picture, Scott Besson on there, and this is this was a tweet that actually got put out by Eric, who's down in Florida, wonderful Twitter account, I know I'm not giving you much to go on there, because I am blanking completely, which forgive me, forgive me, Eric, because he's at Florida's Voice. And a lot of my friends work at Florida's Voice. So a plug for Florida's Voice. But Eric Daugherty, that's Eric Daugherty put this out, he's got a terrific Twitter account, I highly recommend you follow it. And he put Besson on there, because he's a great guy. Scott Besson, you see, has been positive on this idea. If you have an independent Alberta, it would be something that might be actually really good for us, especially as we are trading with Canada, and we're dealing with all these tariffs, etc. So they are a very large part of Canada's overall GDP. In fact, energy, if you would, I think accounts for somewhere between 20 and 25% of Canada's overall GDP. So it's a very vital part of the economy. And it's been a little difficult, because they're dealing with all the libs that are everywhere else, you know, you get the libs in Montreal, and you get the libs in Quebec, and so now they're calling it Wexit. It's a Western Canada exit. Western Canada is like, bye bye, see you, see you, see you, you know, how did this country get in this messed up spot? You know, I'm going to argue that they've had some very poor leadership, poor leadership, like this guy, who's unfortunately no longer the leader there in Canada, that's Justin Trudeau, you're looking at who is dancing around with a plunger in his, yeah, a toilet plunger, right over his head. In a hardware store, I guess in Canada with his new girlfriend, Katie Perry. She clearly doesn't have much taste in men. But anyway, the two of them with the toilet plunger, dancing around. And I would argue that Canada kind of had it coming. Okay. Canada, Canada, again, be careful, be careful, just like New York City, who you vote into office, because you're going to be dealing with situations like, well, like we're seeing right now in Alberta, when you have these kinds of problems. So Alberta is sitting there saying, well, why are we shouldering the burden for the rest of Canada right now? So you get a couple of movements that have been happening. There's the Alberta Prosperity Project, there's Stay Free Alberta, somebody was out today from, I don't know if it was Carney or somebody else within the Carney administration, suggesting that this is a foreign influence campaign. That's what's going on. And, you know, who knows, maybe there is some foreign influence. I don't know. But I would say this. I don't even think you have to rely on foreign influence. I think you got people who are human beings saying, wait a second, why are we supporting the rest of Canada? And we'd have a heck of a lot more money for ourselves if we didn't have to deal with all the crazy libs everywhere else. I can't tell you how many people actually watch this show from Canada or on this channel. And I hear all the time, you know, please, you know, when you talk about Canadians, don't paint us all with one brush, because I'm from Alberta, in Alberta, Canada. It's clearly very, very different. So current polling, this is as of mid-August, is showing definitely a clear majority of the people they're favoring overall in Canada, favoring that Alberta remains. But you do have a number of people and a it makes sense to leave. And that's certainly symbolic in many ways. The secession movement is underway, and I don't think it's going to stop. And I think given that you have this sort of disparity in the wealth between Alberta and the rest of Canada, and this feeling that, you know, Canada is going in this bad direction, similar to Europe, right? You think about what I just told you about how Europe is really not feeling like Europe anymore. And you're not really hearing a lot about that. And so people are losing their culture and their way in so much of Europe. I mean, maybe other than Poland. Poland seems to be the one standout that's hanging on. But they've had to be really tough. And Poland has had to have some sharp elbows and has had to deal with a lot of onslaught of sort of negativity and accusations of racism, etc., because they're not willing to fold over and play dead and turn into Sweden or the UK or anything else. And so all these other ways of dealing with this headache and Canada, you know, I don't know. Hey, you know, we were talking about buying Canada. Maybe we just buy Alberta, right? Right. Alberta, I'm sure we could work something out. There we go. You know, mission accomplished, right? Just like we're apparently taking over the Strait of Hormuz. The president putting this one out. Demind and open for business there over. And I think that one is maybe not as easy a situation as Alberta would be. But, you know, we're kind of, we're on the acquisition trail between the possibility of Alberta, between the Strait of Hormuz, and of course, Greenland. We haven't even touched Greenland. Maybe I'll have to talk about Greenland tomorrow or Friday. There is a small chance that we may not be live on the air tomorrow because I am traveling again and again. Oh my gosh, I'm going to be home next week, home base on Monday, so I can't wait. But thank you for tuning in at these kind of fluctuating times, shall we say. It's good to have you guys all here.
