Wake Up Right - February 21, 2025


We’re ending the week on a high note, folks! Yesterday, the Senate confirmed Kash Patel to lead the FBI, likely handing President Trump a clean sweep of all his cabinet picks — even the ones we had some concern about, like Tulsi and RFK Jr.
But here’s a secret: You are the reason they all got through — because those swamp rats in D.C. are terrified of you. They know that if they step out of line, you will light up their phone lines and social media accounts like the 4th of July.
President Abraham Lincoln famously said: "Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth."
Today, you are the torchbearers of those words.

✅ Kash Patel is confirmed as Director of the FBI
🥳 Mitch McConnell will not seek re-election in 2026
📉 21% approve of Democrats in Congress, a record-low
🗓️ Malcolm X was assassinated on this day in 1965
📊 Trump approval avg: 49.2% approve, 47.8% disapprove

Let me eggsplain…

Democrats and the mainstream media are suddenly obsessed with the price of eggs after spending the last four years essentially denying the existence of inflation at all under Joe Biden.
What changed? The man in the White House.
Back up: When Biden took office in January 2021, the average cost of a dozen eggs was $1.46. By the time he left last month, the price had surged to over $4.50 — a more than 200% increase.
Perspective: Throughout Trump’s first term, the price was stable at around $1.75 per dozen.
The details: According to Google Trends, there was a 0% interest score in news stories about "egg prices” in the final year of Biden’s residency. But once Trump was sworn in, the interest score spiked, peaking at 100% between January 26 and February 1st, driven by:
📰 The media: CNN has written dozens of articles on egg prices since Trump was sworn in, including one with the headline: “Trump pledged to bring down food prices on Day One. Instead, eggs are getting more expensive”
🤡 Democrat politicians: Sen. Chuck Schumer chastised: “The President owes the American people some answers: what is he going to do about the price of eggs exacerbated by bird flu?”
What caused this egg crisis? A mix of avian flu outbreaks, Biden’s mass killing of hens, and rising production costs.
🦠 Avian flu outbreak: Since 2022, there have been several waves of the highly contagious Avian Influenza [bird flu].
🐔 Culling hens: Since 2022, over 150 million birds have been culled in an attempt to contain the contagious virus. For perspective, today, there are a total of 369 million egg-layers in the U.S.
🚚 Inflation under Biden has driven the prices of grain and transportation costs - also contributing to higher egg prices.
Trump’s plan: Currently, the Department of Agriculture compensates poultry farmers for culling entire flocks exposed to bird flu, but it does not pay for birds that die from the disease. This incentivizes the mass slaughter of our bird supply.
The Trump administration is currently looking at ways to revolutionize the agriculture industry's response to these diseases by focusing on tighter biosecurity and medication.
Kevin Hassett, who leads Trump's National Economic Council, told CBS News that the administration is “working with all the best people in government, including academics around the country and around the world."
Big picture: Egg prices will likely continue to rise while poultry farmers rebuild their bird populations. And Democrats will continue to lay the blame on Trump. But this is a problem he inherited, not one he created.
Real talk from G: I think this is a strategic mistake by Democrats. Egg prices are a volatile item to hitch their wagons to. The price quickly fluctuates up or down [In January 2023, prices hit $4.80 before falling to just $2.04 a few months later], meaning Trump can and likely will get them back down in the $2-3 dollar range. They’re setting him up for a big win.

Trump highlights Garden of Heroes at Black History Month event

President Donald Trump detailed his plans for a National Garden of American Heroes — a memorial park that he says will feature a tribute to Black American legends and the roles they played in shaping our national identity.
What is the National Garden of American Heroes? It’s a sculpture park featuring statues of hundreds of American icons [of all races] like Founding Fathers, athletes, and cultural icons.
Trump initially signed an executive order for its creation in his first term to coincide with the United States’ 250th anniversary, but it was nixed by the Biden regime.
The details: Trump dove into the plans during a ceremony at the White House to celebrate Black History Month, where he shared: "We’re picking the final sites now" for its location. He added:
"We’ll honor hundreds of our greatest Americans who ever lived, including countless Black American icons… not simply because they’re Black heroes, but also because they are truly American heroes who inspire all of us very much.”
Who's on the list? Trump named some of the Black Americans who will have statues in the garden, including Harriet Tubman, Jackie Robinson, Rosa Parks, Aretha Franklin, Frederick Douglas, Muhammad Ali, and Kobe Bryant.
In attendance: The Black History Month event included guests like golf legend Tiger Woods, former ESPN anchor Sage Steel, rapper Kodak Black, and many others.
The last word goes to Trump, who nailed the significance of his initiative, saying: “The last administration tried to reduce all of American history to a single year, 1619, but under our administration, we honor the indispensable role black Americans have always played in the immortal cause of another date, 1776."
