Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thanks to all of you for being with us. Right
down our toll free telephone number if you want to
be a part of the program. The President just started
talking with economic leaders. The FED has now again cut
interest rates another quarter basis point. That's nearly a full
point in the last three months. Remember Jerome Powell's tenure
(00:24):
at the FED comes to an end. We have moved
into the quantitative easing part of a recovery, which is
extremely imperative I think for the economy. Let's just dip
in listen to Howard Lutnik as he speaks.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Nice to see, well, thank you very much. It's been
an interesting day from the standpoint of news. As you
probably know, we've just seized a tanker on the coast
of venezuela large tanker, very large, largest one ever seased actually,
(01:06):
And other things are happening. So you'll be seeing that
later and you'll be talking about that later with some
other people. Very excitingly for me and for the country.
We've just launched the Trump gold Cart. It was about
thirty minutes from now. The set goes up and all
(01:28):
funds go to the United States government. Could be a
tremendous amount of money it'll also be able to help
people like this keep as an example of just one example.
There are a lot of examples people just buying them.
It's somewhat like a green card, but with big advantages
over a green card. And companies are going to be
able to go to the Work School of Finance, the
(01:52):
Stern Business School, Harvard, Mit, wherever you may get your students,
any school, and you're able to buy a card and
keep that person in the United States. Actually say the
certainty because a lot of I've heard from Tim Cook
of Apple, and I've heard from a lot of people,
(02:14):
some of the people at this table that essentially in
the United States, you can't keep the student.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
You can't hire.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
People from the best colleges because you don't know whether
or not you can keep the person. They come and
have the people get out, they throw the person out
of the country. You graduate number one from your college,
and there's no way of guaranteeing. I guess you could
say there's no way of guaranteeing that they're able to
stay in the country. Howard, maybe you'll give a little
(02:42):
description of the Trump Goulk Sure, So for individual I we'll.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Get back to this after we you know, the president
gets to the issue, will monitor it for when he
talks about I mean this is these rate cuts have
been long overdue, really necessary, and you know, the President
outlined very articulately last night a lot of the progress
that he has made. Now, the main crux of what
(03:12):
has happened with the economy is what the President inherited.
I mean, he the president touting the strong economy. Yeah,
we have the lowest gas prices we've had in five
years nationwide. If you want to pay four fifty five
bucks a galloners go to Countant Gavin Newsom Socialists Utopia
because they have the highest gas taxes in the country,
(03:32):
as well as the highest sales taxes in the country,
oh as well as the highest income taxes in the country.
Go go there. Even fake new CNN reporting low gas
prices under Trump, I mean, their record lows. He did
this in his first term, so this is not new.
And the President touting, you know, the fact that inflation
(03:55):
is down, interest rates are coming down dramatically, and the
price of energy, which is the lifeblood of the world's economy,
is coming down. And now we have a major you know,
now we're down nearly a full basis point, even with
Drome Powell at the HELM, although frankly I can't wait
to see him go. But add to that the trillions
(04:18):
and committed manufacturing investments in this country. Add to that
the fact, you know, President Riley pointed out over one
hundred billion dollars in new moneys that Pennsylvania alone already
has in the economic bloodstream and in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
And you know the sixty plus thousand jobs, high paying
(04:39):
career jobs created in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. But with unemployment,
you know, usually the FED looks for that sweet spot
where where almost that full employment but unemployment still exist
and it's just room for the economy to go, and
they start buying up treasury bonds and quantitative easing policies
(05:02):
now have been adopted. It's now official. And you know,
the net result of this is going to be okay
when the President's tax cuts get infused into the economy,
which you will feel next year and with your paycheck
and when you pay taxes on April fifteenth. Now that
we have interest rates coming down, sale of pre existing
(05:23):
homes will start rising around the country, especially with a
new FED share. It's only going to go lower. You're
going to see thirty year fixed rate mortgages back in
the fours and below, hopefully sooner than later. And that
means sale of new home That means new home construction
will begin again. That is an entire industry that is
(05:44):
basically was shut down under Biden because of inflation, high
interest rates, and the bad economic policies that they have.
For those that still are suffering the hangover from the
Biden Harris economy, it sucks. I don't know what else
to tell you. It's it's not I can't give you this.
It's not a quick fix. It took Reagan about fourteen
(06:05):
eighteen months for his tax cuts to make it into
the bloodstream of the economy. It'll probably take less because
we've never combined the largest tax cuts in history. Democrats
voted for the largest tax increase in history, coupled with
no tax on tips, overtime social security, with energy dominance
(06:25):
policies that the President has put in place, which we're
already seeing the benefits of with lower energy prices across
the board dramatically lower. That's like a major tax cut
for people, coupled with trillions in committed investments. Manufacturing. We
brought back automobile manufacturing, also components and parts and batteries,
(06:47):
that kind of manufacturing. Pharmaceutical manufacturing. We've been dependent on
foreign countries for that. We've been dependent on foreign countries
for semiconductor production, rare earths. We've been far too dependent on.
All of these have now been addressed, and the President
also has gotten freer and fairer trade deals by countries
(07:09):
that have been ripping us off. It just you know,
it was either you take it all on quickly and
take the short term pain that would be associated with
transitioning away from a disastrous economy to one that's prosperous.
By the way, the President just mentioned there, the US
military seized a sanctioned oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela,
(07:30):
the largest ever. And what is the message the President
is sending Maduro and Venezuela, and that is that the
lifeblood of their economy will come to a crashing halt
and the people unfortunately living under the authoritarian government, I
frankly think illegitimate government of Maduro. You know, it's time
(07:55):
for him to go. And by the way, they don't
have the cleanest oil on the face of the earth anyway.
But the seizure is going to make it harder for
Venezuela to export their oil. And the message is absolutely clear,
stop sending your drugs that are killing American citizens into
our country. Now, most Venezuelan oil goes to China. President
(08:20):
recently made a deal with President She and in part
not only will they buy our soybeans and help our farmers,
and they have been disproportionately impacted, you know, by the
President having to get tough on unfair trade practices in America.
Getting ripped off. The textile industry is another one, and
the President is trying to offer short, short term help
using tariff monies to help farmers, and other industries are
(08:44):
going to follow as well, but usually through intermediaries. Most
Venezuelan goes to China at discounted prices, you know, because
the sanctions. In other words, they're violating the sanctions and
they do they do need to remain in place. I
want to deal with something else here today that is
(09:05):
really really frustrating to me. For years. I have been predicting.
You know, any idiot can have their own talk show,
and a lot of people the way they're making their
living is they're saying the most incendiary, outrageous, bizarre, conspiratorial,
(09:30):
in some cases outright racist, white nationalist, virulent anti semitism,
and they make money off the quote clicks that they
can then monetize because you know, people like the shock
value of it. And that's why I'm merging all of
you in this all. Just be selective. If you hear
(09:51):
people that you know are racist, do you really want
to associate with with those people? I don't Or people
that are you know, hateful anti Semitic, I don't want
to associate with them either. Or people that push and
pedal conspiracy theories. I don't want to hear any of
that either. But there's plenty of that toxicity out there.
(10:11):
Erica Kirk has had to deal with these wild, bizarre
conspiracy theories about the death of her husband and their
kids are one day going to probably see this and
this is how she very firmly addressed it earlier today
on Outnumbered on Fox.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Talk to me about this part of the conspiracies that
are out there, this disturbing part that people are trying
to guess where Charlie is. Can I have one thing?
Can I have one thing. Can my children have one thing?
Everything was public. We will be building the most beautiful
(10:56):
memorial for my husband at Turning Point, USA, and it
will be for the world to see and be spectacular,
and it will have a basically museum style for our
Charlie from my Charlie. But can I have one thing?
Can my babies have one thing where we hold it sacred,
where my husband is laid to rest, where I don't
have to be worried about some secular revolutionary coming and
(11:18):
destroying my husband's grave. Will my daughter is sitting there
praying one thing that this is my husband. Yes, he
was Charlie Kirk to the world, and I know so
many people love my husband, and I am grateful for that.
But this is my husband. And I want to be
able to have one thing left that is sacred to
our family, to my in laws, to my babies, and
(11:41):
to my parents.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
One thing. What are they taking from you right now?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Nothing? But I will tell you what they are doing.
It reminds me so much of Chapter six in the
Book of Nehemiah. He is building a wall, and the
townspeople are at the base of that hill, saying me
and Maya, calling them all these names, saying all these
things come on down. Every single time, he had the
(12:09):
same message four times in a row. I cannot come down.
I am busy building. That is how I feel. I
do not have time to address the noise. My silence
does not mean that I am complacent. My silence does
not mean that somehow turning Point USA and all of
the hand picked staff that loved my husband and my
husband loved them is somehow in on it. We are
(12:32):
busy building, And you know what I thought. I thought
these people are human. We're all grieving in our own way,
and they are trying to find the answer to something
that happened.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
That was so evil.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
They are trying so hard, and I get that we're
doing the same. Anytime we hear a lead, let me
jump in.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Here, because that's so powerful what she's saying. There are
people with no evidence spreading the most vile, hateful, conspiracy
theories about Charlie's assassination. There are people that are actively
looking to kind of docs where Charlie's buried. Does it
(13:09):
get any sicker than this, I don't think so. If
they're the most vile, mean spirited, hateful, evil things are
being said, leave this family leave this widow, leave these children,
leave this organization alone. It's unbelievable. And then people, you
(13:31):
know do it, and they do it for money. And
Eric evenm pointed that out. Got to give props to
John Fetterman. John Fetterman saw this, this idiot posting on
x and he spoke up about it. He's you know,
and what they're saying is disgusting, attacking a widow, you know,
(13:54):
because Charlie finished this book, which is amazing, by the way,
it's called Stopping the Name of God, Honoring the Sabbath
will transform your life his last words, And Fetterman said,
it is gross. It is dehumanizing to attack a widow
with young children after witnessing his public assassination. It shouldn't
(14:14):
be controversial to put our political views aside and extend
the grace for a deeply traumatized family to grieve. And meanwhile,
a liberal podcast. And by the way, there's people on
the left and the radical you know, right, even if
they did not Maga, they claim to be maggot. You know,
(14:35):
go look at the things they've said about Trump over
the years, and they're full of crap. They're grifters themselves.
These people repulse me. Linda, you see all this, it's
so disgusting.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
It's pretty bad.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
It's pretty pretty revolting, pretty evil, really all right, twenty
five now until the top of the hour. By the way,
for the record, that was a that's Christmas music that
Linda chooses. Uh, why don't we play one that I like?
Just to let people have the comparison so they can
know the difference between really good Christmas music and you know,
(15:10):
stuff that Grandma used to play, which I think it's a.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Little Why do you grandma so much? What is wrong?
Would you have grandma issues? What is wrong with you?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
To be very honest, I only grew up knowing one grandparents.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
So that's what it is. You have grandma issues.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Nobody ever grandma issues and played nice Burl Eyes.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Is disgusting, my father, it is. It is disgusting, is
what it is. It is repulsive.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
It's literally are.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
You going to drink eggnog? Seriously?
Speaker 4 (15:44):
I already had some.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
I had a nice eggnog, a little rum, little cinnamon, And.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Why don't you put a rum in your eggnog? Now?
Or that disgusting? You know?
Speaker 5 (15:54):
File allowing me to drink on the job because listen,
She's going to be a whole kind.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Of different shows.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
As if I look kind of you anyway, because well,
you have enough moonshine in that studio.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
The moonshine.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
I love that they send it to us, but it'll
knock you on your booty.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
He tried. Is that happen?
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Well?
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Yeah, you can't have someone send you a beautiful gift
and not try it. That's rude.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Okay, So you are admitting to being intoxicated during a show.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
I didn't intoxicated. Trying it is not devouring the bottle.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
It's having a take, okay, And you got enough vodka
in there to last four hundred.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Lifetime is a critical part of the day, without question.
Six o'clock.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I can't do a show and drink before I do
a show.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
A block six o'clock that's when the show is over
for me. You could have a little something.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
At enjoy your eggnog.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Way to have to give a shout out. I didn't
do my shout out?
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Can I?
Speaker 5 (16:42):
I want to give a shout out to Connor Stewart.
He's fourteen years old, he lives in Utah. He's my
friend's son. He loves the show. He listens every single
day on his way home from school. So shout out
to Connor Stewart if you're out there. I hope you
had a great school, buddy, and we're so grateful that
you listen.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Uh, Connor, God bless you, and I just urge you
to be more discerning in people that you come to
meet and know in life, and don't take on the
lexicon of Linda as you get older, because if you do,
you'll be saying a lot of cuss words.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
Just a saying into the spirit.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Here, I'm done. Can we play my Christmas music now?
Just to give people the difference between good music and
you know grandma music. Listen, hit it. Here we go,
Here we This is good Christmas. Brank it up a
(17:42):
little louder. There we go. In the spirit of the season.
I find that music fascinating. I love it. I love it.
(18:03):
This is a great time of year. It really is.
And it's not just because I don't know. I like
it for a lot of reasons. And I get my
long vacation of the year, which is really good, which
is great for you because you don't have to see
or hear from me for a while. Although I will
be writing probably every day.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Like I literally just stayed quiet. I was like, I'm sorry,
are you not taking your phone with you?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I'm like, okay, to listen. I really have a lot
to learn. I mean, it was such a powerful book.
I read the whole book cover to cover. Stopping the
name of God by honoring the sabbathae transform your life.
And you know, and Charlie, I felt like you're speaking
directly to me, because he gives every single possible excuse
(18:47):
you could ever come up with, including you might get
a call from the President but not doing it, putting
your phone aside. But I do work in the news industry,
and you know, I'll give you an example. Remember the
day that the incident at Trump International happened. I had
breakfast that morning with Steve Whitkoff, who would later become
(19:09):
the special envoy for President Trump. And he's been negotiating
peace deals on two continents. I mean shuttle diplomacy. You
know what A lot of people don't know. And people
attack this man. He pays for his own plane to
do all these trips. He didn't take a penny from
the government. He's doing it gratis, he's doing it for free.
(19:31):
He's doing it out of love of country. Well, he
once did business with this country. I'm like, yeah, okay,
he doesn't need this nightmare of trying to bring peace
on two continents. He doesn't. He's a multi billionaire. And
of course he could get reimbursed. Of course he could
get paid, but he's he forego, he did forego all
(19:55):
of it. He's paying every pay. I'm gonna should cost
an hour on a private jet the size that he has.
It's not cheap because he has to, you know, carry
a big staff with him. You know, people are so ignorant,
it's unbelievable. Listen, we'll get into more detail and I'm
gonna hit this tonight. We're also going to get into
(20:16):
this Somali fraud I mean with New Gingrich later in
the program today. I mean, we're learning more and more
every day. What's that? What are you saying in my ear?
Because you're what do you mean? I'm off, Mike, I'm on?
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Oh my god? What happened to talk back? Some things
were supposed to keep between us. I was telling.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
You on the show, and you talk. I can't talk
to America. Maybe pick your moments. Good grief anyway, The
House Oversight Committee chairman, our friend James Comer warning yesterday
that the alleged fraud found in Minnesota is likely more widespread.
We're looking at a billion dollars in fraud, and yes,
(20:56):
a lot of it went to this. This is not
a broad indictment against a group of people, but people
within a community are largely responsible for what is now
looking like over a billion dollars in fraud. And the
governor Tim Walls tampon, Tim knew all about it, was
(21:19):
worn by whistleblowers and didn't do a single thing to
stop it. And as Minnesota Somali welfare fraud scandals widens,
Tim Walls is inviting more Somalis into his state. That's
a great idea. Now, if you go back in time,
I'm going to take you back to the Minneapolis Star Tribune,
because another elected official, Congresswoman Omar, is up to our
(21:43):
eyeballs in this. And I had forgotten completely about this.
It came up during President Trump's town hall in Pennsylvania
last night, but questions swirl about Congresswoman Omar and whether
or not there might be or might have been immigration fraud.
This is not from Sean Hannity. This is not from
a conservative think tank. This is not the vast right
(22:06):
wing conspiracy. This is the Minneapolis Star Tribune, not exactly
known for conservatism, but very liberal, and back in twenty nineteen,
the very liberal Minneapolis Star Tribune published an in depth
investigative report into Omar's immigration status and a marital history.
And people are attacking President Trump last night for bringing
(22:29):
some of this up. And I'll read from the Minneapolis
Star Tribune. It's from June of twenty nineteen, June twenty third,
to be exact, Linda, did I make it clear it's
from the Minneapolis Star Tribune. But I'm doing that on purpose.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
So, new investigative documents I'm reading from this released by
a state agency have given fresh life to lingering questions
about the marital history of Congresswoman Omar and whether she
once married a man, possibly her own brother, to skirt
immigration laws. The piece goes on, Omar has denied the
(23:06):
allegations in the past, dismissing them as baseless rumors. But
she said little then or since about Ahmed Ner, said Elmi,
the former husband who swept into her life in two
thousand and nine before twenty eleven separation. Now the question
surfaced again this month, and a state probe of campaign
(23:29):
finance violation showing that Omar filed again this is twenty nineteen,
file federal taxes in twenty fourteen and fifteen with her
current husband met her SI while she was still legally
married too but separated from the first husband. The new
documents also detail the Amar campaign effort to keep the
(23:51):
story of her marriage out of the press, arguing detailed
coverage would legitimize the accusations invade her privacy away. I'm
not in favor of invating anybody's privacy, but if it's
possible corruption and the liberal media deems that were worthy,
I guess it's worth, you know, getting answers to the questions.
I don't know if we've ever gotten the questions answered,
(24:14):
and anyway, send a list of questions and request to
talk to her siblings and father. Omar declined to do so.
Her side did not respond to multiple calls, text emails.
Social media posts indicate Elmi is in Africa at the time.
Again twenty nineteen. He did not respond to multiple emails.
And it's just bizarre. I have no idea, I don't
(24:35):
know any of it. Omar has insisted on silence on
key details, and it's really strange, right to prove a
negative and maybe it's all legit. I don't know. Some
of the original social media accounts, you know, Lincoln Elmi
to Omar after the split, appear to have been removed.
(24:56):
Omar declined to make her tax and immigration records avail
for this report that they put out, but they have
remained silent about her marriage, and she declined to make
her family available for the story. What's clear from the
recently released documents of the campaign finance board is that
the Young Upstarts campaign was unprepared for any potential blowback
(25:19):
from the question surrounding this marriage to Elmei, which was
first reported in twenty sixteen on somaliaspot dot com and
online public forum. It goes on to say, I mean,
did we ever get closure on this issue? I don't
(25:39):
recall Linda, you remember ask Rock there has been.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
There's been no closure. I assure you I follow it closely.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Why would you follow this issue closely?
Speaker 4 (25:51):
I have interest in it.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
So we have John Thune on TV tonight. Now. Remember
we we've discussed that length and asked the question why
does Obamacare or they as Democrats and leftists prefer to
call it the Affordable Care Act. You see, if you
put a nice little, you know, branding name on a
(26:15):
bill and make it into something that it's not, they
think the American people will fall for it. Now we're
at the point where the Affordable Care Act we now,
the verdict is in and the promise that millions, you know,
that Americans will keep their doctors, keep their plans, and
the average family would save twenty five hundred dollars a year.
(26:38):
None of those promises came true. None of them. And
it's not the Affordable Care Act. It can't be affordable
if you need subsidies in perpetuity. Remember this is what
Democrats were fighting for healthcare one point five trillion. They
wanted health care for illegals. They wanted their own bill
that they designed to be temporary subsidies who expire their
(27:01):
own bill. They wanted to make them permanent. Okay, so
what have we discovered? Millions lost their doctors, millions lost
their plans. Not only are you not saving as a
family on average twenty five hundred dollars per family per year,
but the average Americans paying anywhere from two hundred and
twenty five percent to over three hundred percent more for
(27:24):
being in an Obamacare exchange. Okay, and those prices are
about to go up yet again. And what the Senate
Republicans are saying is, why don't we get cut people
a check and divvy the money out and make sure
people are legitimately eligible for the subsidy and let them
decide how to best spend their healthcare dollars, which would
(27:46):
be innovative, find a healthcare cooperative, start healthcare savings account. Anyway,
the new analysis the GAO found fifty eight thousand dead
people now get Obamacare subsidies. On top of everything that
Dotter Oz has been pointing out by the way back
to Omar fora second House majority whip Tom Emmer has
(28:06):
called one of the most duplicitest con artists I've ever seen.
This debate's getting huge. I'm telling you something is coming
out of this. I'm not sure what yet, but this
may be one of the biggest financial scandals in American history.
Thanks to all of you for being with us. Right
down our toll free telephone number if you want to
be a part of the program. The President just started
talking with economic leaders. The FED has now again cut
interest rates another quarter basis point. That's nearly a full
point in the last three months. Remember Jerome Powell's tenure
(00:24):
at the FED comes to an end. We have moved
into the quantitative easing part of a recovery, which is
extremely imperative I think for the economy. Let's just dip
in listen to Howard Lutnik as he speaks.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Nice to see, well, thank you very much. It's been
an interesting day from the standpoint of news. As you
probably know, we've just seized a tanker on the coast
of venezuela large tanker, very large, largest one ever seased actually,
(01:06):
And other things are happening. So you'll be seeing that
later and you'll be talking about that later with some
other people. Very excitingly for me and for the country.
We've just launched the Trump gold Cart. It was about
thirty minutes from now. The set goes up and all
(01:28):

tremendous amount of money it'll also be able to help

There are a lot of examples people just buying them.
It's somewhat like a green card, but with big advantages
over a green card. And companies are going to be
able to go to the Work School of Finance, the
(01:52):
Stern Business School, Harvard, Mit, wherever you may get your students,
any school, and you're able to buy a card and
keep that person in the United States. Actually say the
certainty because a lot of I've heard from Tim Cook
of Apple, and I've heard from a lot of people,
(02:14):
some of the people at this table that essentially in
the United States, you can't keep the student.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
You can't hire.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
People from the best colleges because you don't know whether
or not you can keep the person. They come and
have the people get out, they throw the person out
of the country. You graduate number one from your college,
and there's no way of guaranteeing. I guess you could
say there's no way of guaranteeing that they're able to
stay in the country. Howard, maybe you'll give a little
(02:42):
description of the Trump Goulk Sure, So for individual I we'll.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Get back to this after we you know, the president
gets to the issue, will monitor it for when he
talks about I mean this is these rate cuts have
been long overdue, really necessary, and you know, the President
outlined very articulately last night a lot of the progress
that he has made. Now, the main crux of what
(03:12):
has happened with the economy is what the President inherited.
I mean, he the president touting the strong economy. Yeah,
we have the lowest gas prices we've had in five
years nationwide. If you want to pay four fifty five
bucks a galloners go to Countant Gavin Newsom Socialists Utopia
because they have the highest gas taxes in the country,
(03:32):
as well as the highest sales taxes in the country,
oh as well as the highest income taxes in the country.
Go go there. Even fake new CNN reporting low gas
prices under Trump, I mean, their record lows. He did
this in his first term, so this is not new.
And the President touting, you know, the fact that inflation
(03:55):
is down, interest rates are coming down dramatically, and the
price of energy, which is the lifeblood of the world's economy,
is coming down. And now we have a major you know,
now we're down nearly a full basis point, even with
Drome Powell at the HELM, although frankly I can't wait
to see him go. But add to that the trillions
(04:18):
and committed manufacturing investments in this country. Add to that
the fact, you know, President Riley pointed out over one
hundred billion dollars in new moneys that Pennsylvania alone already
has in the economic bloodstream and in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
And you know the sixty plus thousand jobs, high paying
(04:39):
career jobs created in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. But with unemployment,
you know, usually the FED looks for that sweet spot
where where almost that full employment but unemployment still exist
and it's just room for the economy to go, and
they start buying up treasury bonds and quantitative easing policies
(05:02):
now have been adopted. It's now official. And you know,
the net result of this is going to be okay
when the President's tax cuts get infused into the economy,
which you will feel next year and with your paycheck
and when you pay taxes on April fifteenth. Now that
we have interest rates coming down, sale of pre existing
(05:23):
homes will start rising around the country, especially with a
new FED share. It's only going to go lower. You're
going to see thirty year fixed rate mortgages back in
the fours and below, hopefully sooner than later. And that
means sale of new home That means new home construction
will begin again. That is an entire industry that is
(05:44):
basically was shut down under Biden because of inflation, high
interest rates, and the bad economic policies that they have.
For those that still are suffering the hangover from the
Biden Harris economy, it sucks. I don't know what else
to tell you. It's it's not I can't give you this.
It's not a quick fix. It took Reagan about fourteen
(06:05):
eighteen months for his tax cuts to make it into
the bloodstream of the economy. It'll probably take less because
we've never combined the largest tax cuts in history. Democrats
voted for the largest tax increase in history, coupled with
no tax on tips, overtime social security, with energy dominance
(06:25):
policies that the President has put in place, which we're
already seeing the benefits of with lower energy prices across
the board dramatically lower. That's like a major tax cut
for people, coupled with trillions in committed investments. Manufacturing. We
brought back automobile manufacturing, also components and parts and batteries,
(06:47):
that kind of manufacturing. Pharmaceutical manufacturing. We've been dependent on
foreign countries for that. We've been dependent on foreign countries
for semiconductor production, rare earths. We've been far too dependent on.
All of these have now been addressed, and the President
also has gotten freer and fairer trade deals by countries
(07:09):
that have been ripping us off. It just you know,
it was either you take it all on quickly and
take the short term pain that would be associated with
transitioning away from a disastrous economy to one that's prosperous.
By the way, the President just mentioned there, the US
military seized a sanctioned oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela,
(07:30):
the largest ever. And what is the message the President
is sending Maduro and Venezuela, and that is that the
lifeblood of their economy will come to a crashing halt
and the people unfortunately living under the authoritarian government, I
frankly think illegitimate government of Maduro. You know, it's time
(07:55):
for him to go. And by the way, they don't
have the cleanest oil on the face of the earth anyway.
But the seizure is going to make it harder for
Venezuela to export their oil. And the message is absolutely clear,
stop sending your drugs that are killing American citizens into
our country. Now, most Venezuelan oil goes to China. President
(08:20):
recently made a deal with President She and in part
not only will they buy our soybeans and help our farmers,
and they have been disproportionately impacted, you know, by the
President having to get tough on unfair trade practices in America.
Getting ripped off. The textile industry is another one, and
the President is trying to offer short, short term help
using tariff monies to help farmers, and other industries are
(08:44):
going to follow as well, but usually through intermediaries. Most
Venezuelan goes to China at discounted prices, you know, because
the sanctions. In other words, they're violating the sanctions and
they do they do need to remain in place. I
want to deal with something else here today that is
(09:05):
really really frustrating to me. For years. I have been predicting.
You know, any idiot can have their own talk show,
and a lot of people the way they're making their
living is they're saying the most incendiary, outrageous, bizarre, conspiratorial,
(09:30):
in some cases outright racist, white nationalist, virulent anti semitism,
and they make money off the quote clicks that they
can then monetize because you know, people like the shock
value of it. And that's why I'm merging all of
you in this all. Just be selective. If you hear
(09:51):
people that you know are racist, do you really want
to associate with with those people? I don't Or people
that are you know, hateful anti Semitic, I don't want
to associate with them either. Or people that push and
pedal conspiracy theories. I don't want to hear any of
that either. But there's plenty of that toxicity out there.
(10:11):
Erica Kirk has had to deal with these wild, bizarre
conspiracy theories about the death of her husband and their
kids are one day going to probably see this and
this is how she very firmly addressed it earlier today
on Outnumbered on Fox.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Talk to me about this part of the conspiracies that
are out there, this disturbing part that people are trying
to guess where Charlie is. Can I have one thing?
Can I have one thing. Can my children have one thing?
Everything was public. We will be building the most beautiful
(10:56):
memorial for my husband at Turning Point, USA, and it
will be for the world to see and be spectacular,
and it will have a basically museum style for our
Charlie from my Charlie. But can I have one thing?
Can my babies have one thing where we hold it sacred,
where my husband is laid to rest, where I don't
have to be worried about some secular revolutionary coming and
(11:18):
destroying my husband's grave. Will my daughter is sitting there
praying one thing that this is my husband. Yes, he
was Charlie Kirk to the world, and I know so
many people love my husband, and I am grateful for that.
But this is my husband. And I want to be
able to have one thing left that is sacred to
our family, to my in laws, to my babies, and
(11:41):
to my parents.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
One thing. What are they taking from you right now?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Nothing? But I will tell you what they are doing.
It reminds me so much of Chapter six in the
Book of Nehemiah. He is building a wall, and the
townspeople are at the base of that hill, saying me
and Maya, calling them all these names, saying all these
things come on down. Every single time, he had the
(12:09):
same message four times in a row. I cannot come down.
I am busy building. That is how I feel. I
do not have time to address the noise. My silence
does not mean that I am complacent. My silence does
not mean that somehow turning Point USA and all of
the hand picked staff that loved my husband and my
husband loved them is somehow in on it. We are
(12:32):
busy building, And you know what I thought. I thought
these people are human. We're all grieving in our own way,
and they are trying to find the answer to something
that happened.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
That was so evil.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
They are trying so hard, and I get that we're
doing the same. Anytime we hear a lead, let me
jump in.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Here, because that's so powerful what she's saying. There are
people with no evidence spreading the most vile, hateful, conspiracy
theories about Charlie's assassination. There are people that are actively
looking to kind of docs where Charlie's buried. Does it
(13:09):
get any sicker than this, I don't think so. If
they're the most vile, mean spirited, hateful, evil things are
being said, leave this family leave this widow, leave these children,
leave this organization alone. It's unbelievable. And then people, you
(13:31):
know do it, and they do it for money. And
Eric evenm pointed that out. Got to give props to
John Fetterman. John Fetterman saw this, this idiot posting on
x and he spoke up about it. He's you know,
and what they're saying is disgusting, attacking a widow, you know,
(13:54):
because Charlie finished this book, which is amazing, by the way,
it's called Stopping the Name of God, Honoring the Sabbath
will transform your life his last words, And Fetterman said,
it is gross. It is dehumanizing to attack a widow
with young children after witnessing his public assassination. It shouldn't
(14:14):
be controversial to put our political views aside and extend
the grace for a deeply traumatized family to grieve. And meanwhile,
a liberal podcast. And by the way, there's people on
the left and the radical you know, right, even if
they did not Maga, they claim to be maggot. You know,
(14:35):
go look at the things they've said about Trump over
the years, and they're full of crap. They're grifters themselves.
These people repulse me. Linda, you see all this, it's
so disgusting.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
It's pretty bad.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
It's pretty pretty revolting, pretty evil, really all right, twenty
five now until the top of the hour. By the way,
for the record, that was a that's Christmas music that
Linda chooses. Uh, why don't we play one that I like?
Just to let people have the comparison so they can
know the difference between really good Christmas music and you know,
(15:10):
stuff that Grandma used to play, which I think it's a.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Little Why do you grandma so much? What is wrong?
Would you have grandma issues? What is wrong with you?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
To be very honest, I only grew up knowing one grandparents.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
So that's what it is. You have grandma issues.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Nobody ever grandma issues and played nice Burl Eyes.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Is disgusting, my father, it is. It is disgusting, is
what it is. It is repulsive.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
It's literally are.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
You going to drink eggnog? Seriously?
Speaker 4 (15:44):
I already had some.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
I had a nice eggnog, a little rum, little cinnamon, And.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Why don't you put a rum in your eggnog? Now?
Or that disgusting? You know?
Speaker 5 (15:54):
File allowing me to drink on the job because listen,
She's going to be a whole kind.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Of different shows.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
As if I look kind of you anyway, because well,
you have enough moonshine in that studio.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
The moonshine.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
I love that they send it to us, but it'll
knock you on your booty.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
He tried. Is that happen?
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Well?
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Yeah, you can't have someone send you a beautiful gift
and not try it. That's rude.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Okay, So you are admitting to being intoxicated during a show.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
I didn't intoxicated. Trying it is not devouring the bottle.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
It's having a take, okay, And you got enough vodka
in there to last four hundred.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Lifetime is a critical part of the day, without question.
Six o'clock.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I can't do a show and drink before I do
a show.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
A block six o'clock that's when the show is over
for me. You could have a little something.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
At enjoy your eggnog.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Way to have to give a shout out. I didn't
do my shout out?
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Can I?
Speaker 5 (16:42):
I want to give a shout out to Connor Stewart.
He's fourteen years old, he lives in Utah. He's my
friend's son. He loves the show. He listens every single
day on his way home from school. So shout out
to Connor Stewart if you're out there. I hope you
had a great school, buddy, and we're so grateful that
you listen.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Uh, Connor, God bless you, and I just urge you
to be more discerning in people that you come to
meet and know in life, and don't take on the
lexicon of Linda as you get older, because if you do,
you'll be saying a lot of cuss words.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
Just a saying into the spirit.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Here, I'm done. Can we play my Christmas music now?
Just to give people the difference between good music and
you know grandma music. Listen, hit it. Here we go,
Here we This is good Christmas. Brank it up a
(17:42):
little louder. There we go. In the spirit of the season.
I find that music fascinating. I love it. I love it.
(18:03):
This is a great time of year. It really is.
And it's not just because I don't know. I like
it for a lot of reasons. And I get my
long vacation of the year, which is really good, which
is great for you because you don't have to see
or hear from me for a while. Although I will
be writing probably every day.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Like I literally just stayed quiet. I was like, I'm sorry,
are you not taking your phone with you?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I'm like, okay, to listen. I really have a lot
to learn. I mean, it was such a powerful book.
I read the whole book cover to cover. Stopping the
name of God by honoring the sabbathae transform your life.
And you know, and Charlie, I felt like you're speaking
directly to me, because he gives every single possible excuse
(18:47):
you could ever come up with, including you might get
a call from the President but not doing it, putting
your phone aside. But I do work in the news industry,
and you know, I'll give you an example. Remember the
day that the incident at Trump International happened. I had
breakfast that morning with Steve Whitkoff, who would later become
(19:09):
the special envoy for President Trump. And he's been negotiating
peace deals on two continents. I mean shuttle diplomacy. You
know what A lot of people don't know. And people
attack this man. He pays for his own plane to
do all these trips. He didn't take a penny from
the government. He's doing it gratis, he's doing it for free.
(19:31):
He's doing it out of love of country. Well, he
once did business with this country. I'm like, yeah, okay,
he doesn't need this nightmare of trying to bring peace
on two continents. He doesn't. He's a multi billionaire. And
of course he could get reimbursed. Of course he could
get paid, but he's he forego, he did forego all
(19:55):
of it. He's paying every pay. I'm gonna should cost
an hour on a private jet the size that he has.
It's not cheap because he has to, you know, carry
a big staff with him. You know, people are so ignorant,
it's unbelievable. Listen, we'll get into more detail and I'm
gonna hit this tonight. We're also going to get into
(20:16):
this Somali fraud I mean with New Gingrich later in
the program today. I mean, we're learning more and more
every day. What's that? What are you saying in my ear?
Because you're what do you mean? I'm off, Mike, I'm on?
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Oh my god? What happened to talk back? Some things
were supposed to keep between us. I was telling.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
You on the show, and you talk. I can't talk
to America. Maybe pick your moments. Good grief anyway, The
House Oversight Committee chairman, our friend James Comer warning yesterday
that the alleged fraud found in Minnesota is likely more widespread.
We're looking at a billion dollars in fraud, and yes,
(20:56):
a lot of it went to this. This is not
a broad indictment against a group of people, but people
within a community are largely responsible for what is now
looking like over a billion dollars in fraud. And the
governor Tim Walls tampon, Tim knew all about it, was
(21:19):
worn by whistleblowers and didn't do a single thing to
stop it. And as Minnesota Somali welfare fraud scandals widens,
Tim Walls is inviting more Somalis into his state. That's
a great idea. Now, if you go back in time,
I'm going to take you back to the Minneapolis Star Tribune,
because another elected official, Congresswoman Omar, is up to our
(21:43):
eyeballs in this. And I had forgotten completely about this.
It came up during President Trump's town hall in Pennsylvania
last night, but questions swirl about Congresswoman Omar and whether
or not there might be or might have been immigration fraud.
This is not from Sean Hannity. This is not from
a conservative think tank. This is not the vast right
(22:06):
wing conspiracy. This is the Minneapolis Star Tribune, not exactly
known for conservatism, but very liberal, and back in twenty nineteen,
the very liberal Minneapolis Star Tribune published an in depth
investigative report into Omar's immigration status and a marital history.
And people are attacking President Trump last night for bringing
(22:29):
some of this up. And I'll read from the Minneapolis
Star Tribune. It's from June of twenty nineteen, June twenty third,
to be exact, Linda, did I make it clear it's
from the Minneapolis Star Tribune. But I'm doing that on purpose.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
So, new investigative documents I'm reading from this released by
a state agency have given fresh life to lingering questions
about the marital history of Congresswoman Omar and whether she
once married a man, possibly her own brother, to skirt
immigration laws. The piece goes on, Omar has denied the
(23:06):
allegations in the past, dismissing them as baseless rumors. But
she said little then or since about Ahmed Ner, said Elmi,
the former husband who swept into her life in two
thousand and nine before twenty eleven separation. Now the question
surfaced again this month, and a state probe of campaign
(23:29):
finance violation showing that Omar filed again this is twenty nineteen,
file federal taxes in twenty fourteen and fifteen with her
current husband met her SI while she was still legally
married too but separated from the first husband. The new
documents also detail the Amar campaign effort to keep the
(23:51):
story of her marriage out of the press, arguing detailed
coverage would legitimize the accusations invade her privacy away. I'm
not in favor of invating anybody's privacy, but if it's
possible corruption and the liberal media deems that were worthy,
I guess it's worth, you know, getting answers to the questions.
I don't know if we've ever gotten the questions answered,
(24:14):
and anyway, send a list of questions and request to
talk to her siblings and father. Omar declined to do so.
Her side did not respond to multiple calls, text emails.
Social media posts indicate Elmi is in Africa at the time.
Again twenty nineteen. He did not respond to multiple emails.
And it's just bizarre. I have no idea, I don't
(24:35):
know any of it. Omar has insisted on silence on
key details, and it's really strange, right to prove a
negative and maybe it's all legit. I don't know. Some
of the original social media accounts, you know, Lincoln Elmi
to Omar after the split, appear to have been removed.
(24:56):
Omar declined to make her tax and immigration records avail
for this report that they put out, but they have
remained silent about her marriage, and she declined to make
her family available for the story. What's clear from the
recently released documents of the campaign finance board is that
the Young Upstarts campaign was unprepared for any potential blowback
(25:19):
from the question surrounding this marriage to Elmei, which was
first reported in twenty sixteen on somaliaspot dot com and
online public forum. It goes on to say, I mean,
did we ever get closure on this issue? I don't
(25:39):
recall Linda, you remember ask Rock there has been.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
There's been no closure. I assure you I follow it closely.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Why would you follow this issue closely?
Speaker 4 (25:51):
I have interest in it.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
So we have John Thune on TV tonight. Now. Remember
we we've discussed that length and asked the question why
does Obamacare or they as Democrats and leftists prefer to
call it the Affordable Care Act. You see, if you
put a nice little, you know, branding name on a
(26:15):
bill and make it into something that it's not, they
think the American people will fall for it. Now we're
at the point where the Affordable Care Act we now,
the verdict is in and the promise that millions, you know,
that Americans will keep their doctors, keep their plans, and
the average family would save twenty five hundred dollars a year.
(26:38):
None of those promises came true. None of them. And
it's not the Affordable Care Act. It can't be affordable
if you need subsidies in perpetuity. Remember this is what
Democrats were fighting for healthcare one point five trillion. They
wanted health care for illegals. They wanted their own bill
that they designed to be temporary subsidies who expire their
(27:01):
own bill. They wanted to make them permanent. Okay, so
what have we discovered? Millions lost their doctors, millions lost
their plans. Not only are you not saving as a
family on average twenty five hundred dollars per family per year,
but the average Americans paying anywhere from two hundred and
twenty five percent to over three hundred percent more for
(27:24):
being in an Obamacare exchange. Okay, and those prices are
about to go up yet again. And what the Senate
Republicans are saying is, why don't we get cut people
a check and divvy the money out and make sure
people are legitimately eligible for the subsidy and let them
decide how to best spend their healthcare dollars, which would
(27:46):
be innovative, find a healthcare cooperative, start healthcare savings account. Anyway,
the new analysis the GAO found fifty eight thousand dead
people now get Obamacare subsidies. On top of everything that
Dotter Oz has been pointing out by the way back
to Omar fora second House majority whip Tom Emmer has
(28:06):
called one of the most duplicitest con artists I've ever seen.
This debate's getting huge. I'm telling you something is coming
out of this. I'm not sure what yet, but this
may be one of the biggest financial scandals in American history.
