audience yesterday. pumped up to see him. it wasn't the same rally feel. i felt like he was guest speakers. daughter was killed by illegal immigrants. you had ted cruz pop up there in tom homan. i felt like he was laying out of format instead of saying what i promise. >> one of the cool things is i'm hoping that he adds that cayman islands. if he is ambassador. this -- he can have it. the water is not as clear, but i digress. the thing is you don't need a pole right now to step out and see how americans feel. everyone's talking about optimistic. the biggest additive, the most success is the fact that he's bringing in people from all walks of the political spectrum. everyone feels they have someone in the game. he comes out with these rallies and super positive.

i've got a feeling we are going to keep these rallies going. he's going to check in and let everybody know. and the fact that he's got the other side so rattled. because he's not going after democrats. he's going after the old guard, the people who are trying to do the old things. he is copresident. those things are not going to work anymore. he is battle-tested. he survived two assassination attempts and maybe more that we know of. he sees life a lot slower. it's not about grievances. you're not going to get him out and say i'm the only true president. those days are over. we are seeing it. he doesn't have the kingmaker anymore like the first time. we've got her. he is using that experience. when you hear him talk, it's not in anger. it's not frustration. the american people are feeling it. everywhere ago it is the same thing. good things are happening. we like to see the corruption

that regard. people made a calculation. the presidential campaign, resolving things around the globe. we find ourselves entangled in places that we've needed to be because our interest were at stake. interest rate being threatened. the president said he's going to find ways to fix it. he has put together the most diverse cabinet we have seen in the last 30 years. have union supporters in their and democrats in there. who would've thought the -- that is where we are. i didn't hear a lot about greenland in the election. and the panama canal. perhaps you can weave that into something bigger. the calculation voters made particularly democrats and the young voters and black voters and hispanic voters and asian voters went for the president a larger numbers and seeing the democrats go for republican. they're looking for the president to address those three sets of issues. i'm rooting for him to have

success on those three sets of issues. if he does not like our political system, we all know this. that is where the tension will begin to build. if the president is willing to work with people and he's willing to do the things he said he's going to do, there is one democrat sitting at this table. we saw there. let's keep down the straight path and keep americans strong. >> i hope 47 reaches out to the fetterman says where can we work together? >> a confirmation. >> absolutely. nonpaying. >> meanwhile, ahead, horrific scene in new york. an illegal migrant allegedly sets a woman on fire inside a subway train. ♪ ♪

should be something done in that aspect of things. do something. instead of filming, called somebody. call the police. i lose words even frustration. there are so many length of language i would like to use to describe the people who stand there and watch a woman burn. that seems to be something that is going to change soon. our lack of protection for our women and children in this country. we see it across the border. anyone, i don't know how you're going to sleep at any point in your life knowing that you sat there and were completely complacent to post somebody losing their life. one of the most horrible ways a human being can die. >> i meant the daniel penny affect and people being afraid to intervene. do your point. >> no. that's a lot easier to fight in court. he was burning her, your honor. i had to do what i had to do. >> donald trump was crucified when he walked down the golden escalator in 2015 and said that other countries are not sending us their best.

safer to be on the new york city subway now, i make it true. she who doesn't ride the subway unless it is for a photo op to tweet out, she is surrounded by armored cars and security at her place of work or place of worship if she does such a thing. she is constantly hermetically sealed. she doesn't have to run the risk of people at the democrats have allowed in this country in this state in this city because they look the other way for years now. this was part of the election. when trump came down the escalator almost ten years ago, this coming summer will be ten years. he elevated the issue into the national consciences that was mired at three or 4% of all the polls. nowhere near where it is now. fast forward 2024, is the number two issue in the seven swing states and the national polls going into the election, because people know what that means now. they see the worst part of it. >> lee zeldin came within striking distance of kathy hochul in the 2022

the penny thing says you can act. if you see someone being lit on fire or being shot at or beaten, and you do nothing but take pictures of it, that says a lot about us as a society as much as it does about the person doing it. i've finally come to the politicians. and whether it is richie torres or kathy hochul i'm a democrat. if you can't be strong on crime, if you can't -- if your actions can't support rooting out this kind -- these kinds of things happening in our communities and the subways, you don't deserve to be in politics i don't care if you are democrat or republican. i will hold president trump to the same standard. i hope he is able to act on it. i hold governor kathy hochul and mayor adams to the same standard. you cannot have people taking the subway being lit on fire. she probably thought when she sent the text out that she was doing something before this. i will give her the benefit of the doubt. here is the thing. you have to fix this. if we don't fix this, this is

not a democrat or republican thing, this is the fate of our city. we don't do it, this is a human thing. our city is depending. >> you have to be in the subway if you are rich are poor. you were stuck in traffic today. the only way to beat traffic is going the subway. >> michael lawler might be a good republican. >> the three dumbest words honestly said by a political party in quite a while. so much has flown from that. we saw in the '22 gubernatorial race where crime is a big issue in that race. as you pointed out, this is something that unites all new yorkers. there we go. coming up, aoc things america has become an oligarchy. elon musk -- ♪ ♪ liberty mutual customized my car insurance so i saved hundreds. with the money i saved i thought i'd get a wax figure of myself. oh!

accumulated, in the same conversation with elon. the wealth they have accumulated is so out of the realm for everyday americans, you can even access the wealth in your own mind what elon has and vivek and went donald trump as well. the president has to understand, their closeness means when they start making recommendations about what government should be doing or the people they should be firing or organizations should be combined, and those guys speak on social media, there is a sense that they might be speaking for the president. the president made clear that they are not. when elon musk says any republican that votes for this -- the wrong thing to do pretty made it sound like there might be consequences. you could understand how some may interpret that to mean that president trump -- i'm glad to hear president trump say that was not the case. going forward, i think they've got to be mindful of that. >> this is very simple. the people who are afraid and yelling out is because elon and
