And thank you Scott Shannon. Thanks to all of you for being with us. Right down our toll free telephone number its eight hundred and ninety four to one, Sean if you want to join us. The President, by the way, we'll make an announcement. We already know what the announcement is. In the Oval Office today he'll make it official, and we fully expect that the Department of Defense is now going to be renamed the Department of War, which is what it used to be called. I'm sure this is
outrageous now. This comes after the President indicated that he will make several alterations to defense policy. Renaming the Department of Defense is one of them. Moving forward with the Golden Dome missile defense project, which it probably like Reagan, I think you can make an argument. As successful as Reagan was as president. Remember he gave us, at the time the longest period of peacetime economic growth. He dropped the top marginal rates again battling left wing arguments, Oh,
it's going to reduce revenues to the government. Never happened, and he went from seventy to twenty eight percent and ended up in an eight year period doubling the amount of money brought into the federal treasury. Unfortunately, Congress spent a dollar and thirty for every new dollar he brought in, and of course adding to the deficits. And we now see the problem culminating where it is today, and unfortunately that has to come to an end. I wish we'd
get to a balanced budget amendment. I wish we'd get to line item vetos things like that, tools that a president can use. But you know, if you remember when Reagan walked away from the table with Garbachov at Reikievek, it all had to do with the issue of strategic defense that was mocked by the left, and they described it as Star Wars, and because at the time it was, you know, Star Wars was like the biggest thing out
of Hollywood. And you know, then you look at the skies recently over Israel as they were being bombarded with ballistic missiles from Iran, as they've been attacked by you know, Hamas and at a Gaza in the south and his Bulah and Islamic Jihad out of Lebanon in the north, and the Uti Rebels, et cetera. What is so bizarre
about it? Nobody ever really focused on it. Is when Reagan discussed this and the media legacy media mob at the time, which actually did have more influence, they mocked it, made fun of it, and then they would make these
these graphics and they'd put them on television. And yet it's you watch in real time the Iron Dome and their new missile defense systems taking these these rockets out of the sky saving countless lives, and you realize, wow, a lot like the graphics that were made by a media that was making fun and mocking the odds of
that technology. I would argue it probably is Reagan's greatest legacy, and I think that President Trump is right to move forward with the idea and the understanding that unfortunately evil does exist, has always existed, will always exist in the world. And you know, you create a sword, you have a shield, all right, So yeah, we should develop the next generation of weaponry that should include hypersonics, whatever AI generated weaponry we can think of. Again, I think future wars are
not going to be fought on battlefields. You see it beginning to play out with Ukraine and Russia and you see the use of these drones. You saw the same thing in the Middle East. That is only the beginning of this next generation of weaponry, and we've got to be on the cutting edge of it, and we've got to stay ahead of our adversaries and our geopolitical foes if we want to, you know, defend the cause of
liberty and the cause of freedom. And Reagan rightly warned that freedom has always but one generation away from extinction. He was not wrong, and it's every generation's responsibility to do so. So it may very well go down, but anyway, the President will announce that in an hour and authorizing the Defense Secretary Pete haig Seth and the Pentagon and subordinate officials to use secondary titles such as Secretary of War, Department of War, Deputy Secretary of War, and official correspondence,
public communications, ceremonial contacts. I'm not sure if we will cover it or not. I mean, because we kind of know everything that happened is going to happen. It just I just told you now. And we do have breaking news with John Solomon, which I'm going to get to also in a second. The President currently enjoying the highest approval rating of his presidency new Exclusive Daily Mail JL Partner's poll. It's one tenth of a point higher than
Matt Towery, Robert Kahley. It's a fifth five percent approval. They had him at fifty four. You know, if you look at all of the polling companies that have never polled Donald Trump right in ten years, is approval rating is at thirty seven or thirty eight percent. No, they couldn't be more wrong. That's why I never trust them. That's why I don't talk about them. I don't trust them.
They're wrong every single time. You know, the posters that get it right and have consistently got polling Trump right are Trafalgar Kahley, Insider Advantage, Matt Towery, John McLaughlin and associates. They've gotten a right, Rasmussen's gotten a right Atlas Polling. Oh, I don't even know who they are, Linda, do we know who they are? Because they show up every presidential election end up being pretty accurate. But we don't even
know who they are anyway. The Daily Mail has his approval rating at fifty five percent according to the latest poll, only forty five percent disapproval, which for this point in his presidency is light years ahead of any modern day president. We'll get into great specificity in details at the top of the next hour. We're going to have to kind of juggle how we handle this with the president's announcement
and this new discovery, because this is massive news. Just thenews dot com founder investigative reporter and editor in chief John Solomon breaking this news. He has obtained internal memos that show and indicate the President Joe Biden likely was outsourcing clemency decisions to then Vice President Kamala Harris in the last year of his presidency. Now stop right there, that's the headline. What does that mean if true? The power of the Look, the power of pardon clemency is absolute,
but it's not the vice president's power. It's enumerated. That is the president's power. Anyway, those clemency decisions, remember we had the New York Times article. The New York Times went into a great specificity in detail, how Joe Biden just set up standards and criteria for clemencies and pardons and didn't involve himself in the ultimate decisions. This could invalidate, you know, thousands of clemencies and pardons that he did
at the last minute. These decisions, the piece goes on, included preemptive pardons for the Biden family members, as well as commutations for federal death row sentences. This coupled with the previous news that John Solomon broke right here on this radio program and on TV about how you know Joe Biden was even being warned by his number two at the Department of Justice they did not feel that it would be valid, and they said, so, you know, just a day and a half, two days before he
left office. National Archives Record Administration told the Trump White House Council's Office, quote, we did not find specific meet notes that clearly mention or note that the President was present for any of the four clemency meetings. According to these documents, president Biden's decision memo on commuting federal death row sentences. The piece then goes on and says was unmarked and NARRA cannot find Archives Administration cannot find a
version indicating Biden's approval. The documents added a draft memorandum circulated by Biden's own White House Counsel's office in February of twenty twenty four, shows that by the president's last year in office, he was increasingly relying on Vice President Harris's assessment rather than his own. In the approval process. Given the president's schedule, it can often take days or weeks for the president to review and approve the clemency package.
The lawyer's memo reads, that's called the cya the way I interpret it, he previously asked the White House Council to discuss the candidates with him, although in the last round of the vice president's approval was sufficient to obtain his approval, The lawyers noted. The Trump White House concluded that the memo shows the former president was effectively outsourcing
clemency decisions to Harris during the final year. And further, the review found scant contemporaneous evidence that Biden had actually attended four key clemency meetings in the waning months of his term, and turned up no record of the President's briefing books as it relates to addressing pardon's commutations or clemency's I'm telling you this is now headed for a court challenge, and I would not at all be surprised if a lot of these quote pardons commutations end up
being ruled invalid. The president now and this is the speed of Trump. We saw what the President did with Venezuela and this Narco terror group and just blew them out of the water. Because these drugs are coming into our country. We saw this massive haul of materials this
week that are used to make fentanyl. I don't know if most of you are a where we have discussed it in the past, but if you have the equivalent of three grains of salt, three grains of salt and it's fentanyl and not salt, that is enough to kill a three hundred pound guy, that's enough to kill anybody. And they have enough. Fentanyl has made its way into this country to kill every American citizen many times over,
which is very chilling and frightening. Anyway, the US will now deploy ten F thirty five fighter jets to Puerto Rico as part of its drug cartel fight. According to sources, it's just days after the strike by US forces wiping out nearly a dozen Venezuelan narco terrorists. The F thirty five is the military's most advanced fighter in service. They're due to arrive next week. So clearly the president is now taking on another massive issue, and that is the
influx of drugs into our country. One House Republican, by the way, issued subpoenas yesterday to top Democrats, top lawyers at Democratic fundraising powerhouse Act Blue, amid an ongoing probe of allegedly fraudulent donations from domestic and foreign sources in the last election cycle. This is something John Solomon has
been telling me privately and writing about publicly. The New York Post picked us up and the former general council for Act Blue, an ex director and associate associate council, were both compelled to come before House investigators for depositions. And we're going to watch that case very very closely as well. Anyway, so it's going to be a pretty interesting afternoon for sure. We'll get the latest, we'll get
the run down from the president. New York Post reports today that the Trumpet administration projects five trillion dollars in a reduction in costs because of their deregulation policies. That's massive. Now, I want to address this, the idiocy and the comments of people on the economy, because it's obvious they don't know much about the economy. It's kind of frustrating to be honest at times because if you look at the yeah, okay, the job numbers were not what anybody would want them
to be. Today by any stretch of the imagination. Here's one little, itsy bitsy tiny weeny problem that they have, and that is, if you look at the job numbers, they're not factoring in all the government jobs that have gone away. Number one. Number two, if you think just because the President's been able to secure fifteen trillion dollars in manufacturing commitments and investment in manufacturing for pharmaceuticals, semiconductor chips, automobile bials, rare earths. If you think that that is
kicked in yet, you don't understand business. You have to come up with things called blueprints and plans and architectural designs and approvals so you can build out manufacturing centers. Number one. Number two, you factor in the president giving us the largest tax cut in history, including one hundred percent bonus appreciation for manufacturers that will incentivize them to move as quickly as possible to spend the fifteen trillion dollars.
Then you factor in the economy and the impact that energy dominance will have, including the one trillion and committed monies in the European Union trade deal. They're not going to buy their energy from Vladimir Putin anymore. They're going to buy it from America, as will other countries. And I don't know why some people think you can just snap your fingers and wow, this is the greatest economy
we've ever had in history. No, it hasn't proved dramatically actually, frankly surprisingly You know a lot of people have contacted me about the hearings yesterday with RFK Junior and a lot of frustration because of Republicans that were on the committee and not coming to the defense of RFK Junior. More Knowing RFK now as well as I do, I've spent a significant amount of time with him and doctor Oz, having pretty deep in the paint conversations about health, wellness,
nutrition and fitness. And RFK Junior and mem and Oz are really into both of them, I mean in a major way. And there is conventional institutionalist mindsets in DC that never want a question the status quo. It's the antithesis of Donald Trump. He questions everything. I mean, you know, Donald Trump sees a problem and he deals with it. That that is not your average politician. I doubt most of you, up until yesterday knew that the average child has seventy six jabs before the by the time they
reach eighteen years of age. I'm sure most of you are now pretty familiar, especially if you listen to this show that you will promised things by the government about the COVID JAB that never turned out to be true. We were lied to, and there's a lot of information that and a lot of anecdotal evidence of prima facia case. I would argue that all these people were very well aware that this came from the Wuhan Virology Lab, and it was very evident from the onset based on text messages,
emails back and forth between NIAH members. They were scared to death and writing each other deep, you know, late into the night about whether or not it was their money that was funding the research that created coronavirus. I mean, that's an institutionalist mindset, and there was a systematic effort to prevent you from knowing the truth. This whole wet
market argument. You know that, well, it probably came from bats at a wet market, because in China they have these wet markets with exotic animals and people eat them, and that's likely where this came from. When they knew, damn well, that wasn't where it came from. They knew coronavirus research took place at the Wuhan Virology Lab. They knew the gain of function research also took place there. They were very very aware of it. And the NIH also was aware that they gave monies to the Eco
Health Alliance that helped fund the Wuhan Virology Lab. Hate to tell you in case you don't know, but American taxpayer dollar went to pay to create the coronavirus which led to this worldwide pandemic and every horrible negative thing associated with it, and it was all preventable. And you have doctor Fauci back in what twenty twelve it said even if gain of function you know, research led to
a worldwide pandemic, he's still in favor of it. How he ever got in that position is beyond any understanding I have. So incomes Robert F. Kennedy Jr. And he's throwing out statistics about infant mortality rates that are higher or that life expectancy is lower. Are talking about chemicals in our food products or hormones in our meat products,
and you know, make America healthy again lifestyle. And it didn't matter how many times he said during this hearing yesterday that He's not taking away people's options or availability for vaccinations. He's just trying to inform people so that they can make good decisions. You know, he mentioned hepatitis A hepatitis B, for example, and how young babies are given the vaccinations for these two things in particular, and yet it only impacts one out of every seven million
children born. Is it really necessary? And maybe it is necessary in your mind, maybe you want all seventy six vaccinations for your kids. I mean, the information I've been getting, you know, on a regular basis, from both OZ and RFK JUNR, It's made me rethink a lot of how I live, eat, et cetera. Jillian Michaels, who again is in the health wellness, fitness nutrition space, I mean, nearly rip my head off because of my use of nicotine. Nearly rip my head off because I don't eat you know,
grass fed organic beef. And she asked me, well why not? And I she didn't like my answer. Did I tell you the answer? Ever, Linda? I said, well, I don't like the smell of it. When do you take it out of the package? And she didn't like that. I didn't eat enough fish. Now I eat more fish. Than I have before. Especially I love little netclams. I'm obsessed with them. I like shrimp. I do like lobster too. I'm not a big, you know, wild caught salmon guy. But it's okay. I can, I can get through it.
But you know, but they're so you know, deeply invested in all of this, and they know so much about it. But if you are an institutionalist, and you have an institutional mindset, then it's very hard for you to hear something different. It didn't matter that RFK repeatedly said he's not gonna take your choice away. It didn't It didn't matter anyway. I understand people's frustration, even with Republicans on that.
I think we've got to rethink everything. You know, It's sort of like the President comes up with an idea like Alligator Alcatraz and that detention site can stay open after a federal appeals court ruled. I mean, this is happening time in and time out. Now we have, you know, federal court judges, activist judges. You know, remember Democrats often go judge shopping, and they're frustrated that the Supreme Court
is ruling time after time after time. That what they're doing is unconstitutional because it is unconstitutional, and they're taking on roles that they shouldn't take on. It's insane the times we're living in. Looking a little bit ahead to the midterm elections, President Trump is now talking about a mid term election convention. I think it's a great idea, again, thinking out of the box, and he's calling for a twenty twenty six pre midterm convention, which will energize and
frankly reinforce. I mean, he's moving so fast that it's kind of hard for people to keep up. And heading into the fall next year, having you know, fresh in your mind all of the things that they've accomplished, I think would be a good thing anyway, with the GOP victories. If he's if we don't hold onto the House and Senate, it's gonna be one impeachment after impeachment after impeachment, you know, and you know it's it's gonna be very very hard. Now.
Democrats have never been in a more chaotic state as they are right now. I mean, we're watching New York for example. It's interesting because I saw that Andrew Cmo was huddling with Al Sharpton in an apparent bid for an endorsement. Okay, maybe he gets the endorsement. Maybe not. The New York Post Today on their cover has Trump to New York City drop out, kind of a playoff words of a very famous post cover forward to New York City drop dead. Uh, he's saying, tells GOP donor
and he's talking about John Casta. Mattids, who owns a big grocery store Tade in New York City, doesn't like the idea obviously obviously of Marxist COMMI, Mom, Donnie, you know, having government run stores, which is insane. But anyway, the plan is, and it says his top he's telling a top GOP donor that you know that he has a plan to stop Mom Donnie. Have a plan to stop Mom Donnie by Wednesday or I'm gonna step in. I don't think I don't think there's any stopping Mom Donnie. Linda,
you know you occasionally are in New York City. You know, Ethan is is there every day, Katie is there every day, Jason is there most days too. I mean, I don't see any stopping it. But the plan is, you know, somehow offer a job to Eric Adams to bow out somehow persuade Curtis Lee would a bow out. I know Curtis Sliwa. Curtis Lee was not getting out. He's now pulling it around twenty percent, and he thinks he'll do better if the other people leave, and I don't see
him doing it. He Charles Gasparino in his column in The New York Post today, kind of confirms that you know no spells noo Charlie Sliwa sending a message to Charlie Gasperino, I now have four million of matching funds. The money's flowing in. I've raised more in the last two quarters than Andrew Cuomo and Adams combined, and that might might be a lane for him. I don't know.
If I had to put my money down, unfortunately, I would put it on Mamdani if I if you were asking me straight up, even odds, who I think is gonna win. I don't think the polls are that far off. I've got to get Matt Towery, Robert Cahelly, John McLaughlan and others. Rasmusen to get in the field and find out what they have to say. But it's really that bad, and I I here's something else we found out, which
is pretty interesting. Since twenty twenty one New Yorkers. New Yorkers have been rightly puzzled by what's called on point n YC. Now, I don't think there's anything that you can rightly call a safe injection site, but liberals like safe injection sites. If you are shooting fentanyl heroin, if you're using needles to shoot up every day and you're a drug addict, you there's no such thing as a
safe injection site. You're slowly committing suicide. In this case, you're doing it with you know, supervision and the approval basically or a tacit approval of the government to do it. But it's where hardcore drug addicts shoot up and they get you know, some testing and supervision, et cetera, et cetera. But we now found out and this is what the research.
Howard Hussack wrote about this in his column today that the President Joe Biden and the Federal Substance Abuse Mental Health Administration quietly awarded a program for safe injection sites for New York City of two million dollars. Why are taxpayers contributing to the death and demise? An article too about Mamdani and it was an agenda long list of
pledges made by Mamdani and other Democratic socialists. The agenda for that they put forward radical proposals the full elimination of cash, bell taking the state's disastrous bail reform even further outright decriminalization of drug possession and prostitution, eliminating mandatory minimum sentences, retroactively lowering all maximum sentences, fighting construction of the Borough based jails meant to replace these soon to be closed Rikers Island, which I think they're not going
to end up closing as a means of cutting the prison population by a third. It spells out in this document that Mumdanni signed onto a deep commitment to destroying the state's incarceration program that exacerbates interpersonal violence and communal harm, and does so in the strongest possible language. Instead of consigning people to the violence of incarceration, the agenda says, in closing, we can create space for them to heal and to thrive, defund dismantle no bail, and reimagine the
police and send in the social workers. This is madness. Is a part of me that says, you know what, let the left win. Let them win. Because if this is the left, then let the world see how crazy they've gotten. Let them understand how crazy they are, because
it's insanity. Out in California, a full time podcaster, full time trumpeter, full time tweety bird, Governor Gavin Newsom as his agricultural equity advisors finalizing recommendations for the state to redistribute farmland to quote non white Californians and Native American tribes through land transfers and financial assistance programs that exclusively benefit racial minorities. Well, does that mean they're going to
confiscate people's farmland? I mean, if only Gavin. Gavin wants to fight with everybody, But now that we were asking him tough questions, Gavin's gone eerily silent. I wonder why
