. >> i spoke with our first lady melania trump during the campaign said she was debanked told me exclusivelyn as they left white house first time around the banks decided not going to bank her anymore what is going on? >> yeah, what kwloouf got out-of-control regulators, fbi, both along with cfpb, those who gone crazy in some stuff the bottom line rig a regulator into the bank want a list of all involved in an industry we get to that stage we are going to ask questions doing so there is a possibility that we are going after your camel rating if we do that going to cost alot of money to continue in business paying more for bonds, you are literally going to have higher costs if you do business with these particular types of business, by the way, we are going to continue to follow up on this, this is the way harassment -- won't put in writing but they do it as audit we heard numerous banks told us about heavy handedness of these are organizations we have to take that out of the -- the regulatory oversight get them back to following the law regulations written down a bank can understand, no more

. >> to get banks who did the things like banking legal businesses, like banking crip teach melania trumpthe first lady of our country was debanked, how is that possible in the freest land of the world? one way, biden administration weaponizing the entire government. remember back to the obama administration when the irs was actually targeting conservative organizations and religious organizations? think about today. fdic just recently released, recently released a trove of documents reinforcing the fact that, yes, regulators have been weaponized. maria: unbelievable. you're right. melania trump told me that exclusively in my interview last year that as soon as she left the white house, her bank calls her and tells her we can't accept you as a customer anymore. it's just outrageous, the politicization that has gone on in this government. now, what do you want to say about potential mergers within financial services in government? because i know that the democrats are going nuts over this idea that cf be pb is being closed down. there's also speculation that the cftc and s.e.c. have overha

cheryl: if you look at the examples of some groups and organizations they have been debate, melania trump one of them, she wrote about in her memoir that this happened to her in the national committee for religious freedom they were dipping three weeks after opening an account. and it can be interesting to hear their stories and the banks denying that that will be another piece of the hearing, before you go we've had a tragic week. investigators are still searching for answers around the deadly d.c. crash that claimed the lives of d.c. victims, president trump is calling for dif the faa looking to the last four years of aviation hiring, he is suggesting that maia played a role in the tragedy. i want to get your thoughts on those comments from president trump. >> is an unspeakable tragedy. i cannot imagine what those families are going through, picking up a relative at an airport we've all been there anxiously waiting somebody we haven't seen in days or weeks only to see something of this. the tragedy is unspeakable. i absolutely said my prayers and thoughts to every family member involved

asked melania. [ laughter and applause ] in the same interview, melania trump said that she's excitedther four years in the white house. in fact, when she found out her husband had won, she went from this to this. [ laughter ] in a new interview on joe rogan's podcast, meta ceo mark zuckerberg criticized apple and said that the rival tech company hasn't, quote, "really invented anything great in a while." and i gotta say, there's nothing quite like hearing you're out of good ideas from the guy who invented threads.

so let's take a closer look at the first lady, melania trump.emoir and it was released. during the campaign, she launched her own cryptocurrency token on the eve of the inauguration, and most recently, she signed a $40 million deal with amazon to produce a documentary about her transition back to the white house. so how did we get here? well, you might remember a lot of tech titans met with trump at mar a lago after the election. jeff bezos, the third richest man in the world and amazon's founder was one of them. he donated a million bucks to the inaugural fund. and according to the wall street journal, listen to this. he went to dinner with the future first couple at their florida resort in december. just over two weeks later, amazon agreed to pay $40 million to license the film all about her life, which is the most amazon has ever spent on a documentary in their history. and nearly three times the next closest offer. and that is potentially the tip of the iceberg. this week, the new york times pointed out that trump has been emboldened to push

the agency, once supported by first lady melania trump. >> i'm working with usaid. >> could soon no longerxist as elon musk, under the direction of trump, looks to severely cut federal spending. >> elon is doing a great job. he's finding tremendous fraud and corruption and waste. he's got a staff that's fantastic. >> a staffer at musk's department of government efficiency resigning after reports linking him to an online account with racist comments. musk now polling users on x on whether doe should bring that person back. vice president j.d. vance says the staffer should come back, writing while he disagrees with some of the posts, he says, i don't think stupid social media activity should ruin a kid's life. >> i don't know about the particular thing, but if the vice president said that, did you say that? i'm with the vice president. >> we're members of congress. let us in. >> at the department of education, another agency trump wants to dismantle. members of congress denied access to the building today as they try to meet with senior leaders about trump's plans. >> the department was crea

we've seen a number of times, even on the, you know, melania trump, her be best initiative.barack obama had an initiative. it was an anti-bullying sort of initiative. >> her husband was bullying people while she was doing hashtag be best, but she. >> was. >> still the first. >> but that's the same. that's the reason why the right did not like michelle obama. it wasn't because of michelle obama, it was because of her husband. and i think in one of those instances, you can say that there was an element of sexism in there in the same way that it was for, um, melania trump in that people dislike them even more because of their husbands, not because of anything necessarily that they did, but because of their husbands. and i think that's what we're seeing. but i think that this rfk, this is a good effort. we don't know what he's going to do. i'm not as concerned that he's going to do things around the vaccine, because at the end of the day, operation warp speed, despite what conservatives may say, that was donald trump's thing. >> well, listen again, i was inside the building when

melania trump made a real statement with her look. that statement? i am carmen sandiego.t's the first reaction. that's the first reaction obviously but that's not entirely fair. she also looks like the guy from "spy vs. spy." and i know what some of you're are saying, "this is the first lady we're talking about. shouldn't you say she looks like j. robert oppenheimer?" it's much more fair especially given her motto "be death." when our new president finally entered the rotunda, he immediately tried to kiss his wife and oops! denied by the hat! big. [cheers and applause] it serves the same sanitary function as the sneeze guard on a salad bar. new york tenor christopher macchio sang the national anthem and then was named "secretary of gettin' you a nice table in the corner." then trump was sworn in by chief justice roberts. one problem: trump did not place his hand on the bible for the oath of office. when the ceremony was gonna be outside, he was going to put his hand on the bible, but when they moved it inside, the fire marshall wouldn't allow it. here's the thing. there y

they went through melania trump's closet for documents that he had every right to be because he was president after he left the white house and he was going to declassify them but that was ok. what elon musk is looking for our abuses and criminal kickbacks possibly. congress approved money to go to usaid but did not prove money going to people in guatemala. host: i am going to jump in. your response to that caller. guest: i don't think it is useful to relitigate the trump legal matters that happened before. mr. musk does a huge business with the government and is not the right person to be looking for conflicts of interest because he has them himself. there are mechanisms in place and unfortunately president trump has fired 18 inspectors general whose job it to look for waste, fraud and abuse and have the expertise of the staff to do that. i am not persuaded this is a search for fraud because president trump is -- has disabled the best mechanism to get at it. host: we will leave munich secuy conference this morning. if you want to hear what he is saying you can go to c-span 2. joining us is s

"vogue" magazine criticized melania trump's 2025 white house portrait, comparing her to a freelance magiciantrue, she share made jill disappear. president trump said he would send 30,000 illegals to 30,000 illegals to guantanamo bay. they will be coming from philly, new york, and san fran, so consider it an upgraded. meanwhile, in an interview border czar tom homan called joy reid it dumber than a box of rocks. the american geological society has demanded an apology. speaking of rocks, scientists have discovered an asteroid that has a 1% chance of hitting earth, but it has a 99% chance at hitting j.b. pritzker. because he is really fat. seriously, look it up. herrs remains the front runner for the 2025 nomination. i know that is some accolade of. that is like being first in line at a james cargo kissing booth. -- james cargo kissing booth. >> i would rather be first and last. >> that is disgusting. >> greg: it is disgusting. disgraced ex-new jersey senator bob mendes was sentenced to 11 years in prison for accepting bribes. he appeared to be really excited about the sentence but it was just

ask melania trump. ask any one of donald trump's wives how you increase your net worth without earning the money. but detective musk, on the basis of absolutely nothing, firmly believes that that mythical government worker who i promise you, does not exist and will never be found to exist is, quote, getting wealthy at the taxpayer's expense. that's the detective solving the crime. and that is the way detective musk solves the crime. he just guesses. watch what happened when elon musk began speaking. i'm going to put this on the screen, full screen, not because it matters what elon musk was saying, but because it reveals the essence of donald trump and it reveals the power of elon musk. when the president speaks in the oval office, no one else does except today. elon musk interrupted donald trump when donald trump was speaking, and elon musk's four year old child spoke while donald trump was speaking, and nothing could demonstrate the power of elon musk more than his child speaking while donald trump was

we're going to start off with melania trump's stunning white house portrait and the backlash it's getting>> you know, it's so unfortunate because you would think a magazine like vogue is all about female empowerment through fashion, and instead they're acting like the mean girl. that's a powerful picture, i'm sorry. is it not? it's the more unfortunate because, of course, jill biden was on the cover as first lady three times. she has yet to be on the cover as a first lady, and if you look at her catalog of philanthropic endeavors, it blows everyone out of the water even before she was first lady. rachel: here's what a vogue actually said. they said, quote: the choice to wear a tuxedo as opposed to a blazer or a blouse made her look like a freelance magician than a public servant. melanne ya still struggles with sawtorial messaging. >> what's wrong with manager a magician? we're going to need a lot of magic to fix our country after biden. rachel: michelle obama, poised to become the most transformative first lady this if history, that's how melanne a ya -- >> let's give melania a chance, s
