Happy Black History Month. And I know some of my black friends are going to say, why do we get the shortest month of the year? I don't know. I don't make the rules. But happy February. I want to start off by talking about the Grammys, okay? The Grammys. I don't know anybody who is still watching the Grammys. Remember back in the day, you, you used to tune in, this was appointment television. You knew all the artists, you knew all the songs. I barely know who these people are. And I'm in entertainment, okay? I barely know the songs, I haven't bought the albums. I don't know you people, okay? The Grammys are a bunch of low iq, low rent, degenerate scum. And then they get up on stage and they want to virtue, virtue signal and tell us all how to live our own lives, right? And Billie Eilish, okay, Billie Eilish, she was one of those folks, she got up on stage last night and she basically said that we're all living on stolen land and that I needs to get out of here. And it's clear that these celebrities are making ice out their new mission. They're wearing pins. The pins say ice out. We don't want ice in our cities. Basically, these people want a bunch of illegal migrants flooding into the country. But they're at the Grammys, which is surrounded by a wall with security checkpoints and armed guards, right? These celebrities who live in mansions and gated communities they want criminals running amok on our streets. But then they're going to be in their gated communities and, and their mansions with their security details and their private chefs and personal trainers. Right? So I'm just not buying the bs. We've seen this with George Floyd, we saw with Black Lives Matter. Okay? Then it was climate, Climate change, global warming. That didn't work out so well for them. Okay? Billie Eilish, Leonardo DiCaprio, all the celebrities, they're flying around on massive private jets, driving around in gas guzzling cars. I mean, Billie Eilish, she wants to say she cares about the planet. Did she walk to the Grammys, Billy? Did you walk to the Grammys last night? Did you take a bicycle like Wes Anderson to the Grammys? That I don't think you did, sweetheart. But Billie Eilish, she gets up on stage. I want to take a look at this clip. No one is illegal on stolen land. I feel really hopeful in this room and I feel like we just need to keep fighting and speaking up and protesting and our, our voices really do matter and the people matter. And no one is illegal on stolen land. Says a woman whose home is probably built on that same stolen land she's whining about. Right? So we don't need to hear from you folks. These celebrities are. A lot of y' all have third grade educations, okay? You can't spell mom backwards, okay? Billie Eilish, she's not in Mensa, okay? She's not in Mensa. She does that kind of cooey whisper singing, you know, put some chest into it, put some back into it. Put some soul into it. Like, can Adele come back? Before Adele lost the weight, she could really carry a tune, you know what I'm saying? Before she lost the weight, she had that soul and she would let it rip. She got that Aretha Franklin thing. I don't like all the little whisper Billie Eilish bs. Okay? So I'm tired of hearing about the stolen land. I'm tired of hearing that we should just allow illegals to run amok in our country and we should just have illegals all over the street when you folks live in gated communities. Now I want to take a look at another clip. We have a full list of clips here actually from the Grammys. Let's take a look at Bad Bunny's Grammy acceptance speech because he's also performing at the super bowl next weekend. Before I say thanks to God, I'm gonna say eyes out. We're not savage. We're not Animals. We're not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans. You know what I'd love to see from these celebrities? A few things. Number one, Billie Eilish, Bad Bunny, Lady Gaga. All these celebrities who say they love illegal migrants and criminals and illegal aliens. You guys live in massive mansions. You guys have homes with, like 20 rooms, okay? Why don't you take these folks in? If you care so much about Ms. 13 and Trinidad Agua and all of these criminals, take them into your house, put them in your guest room, okay? You guys can all do couples massages together. You can hang out, you can go for walks. I would like to see these celebrities put their money where their mouth is. That's number one. Number two, what I want to see from these celebrities also is why don't you guys do a psa? Do a PSA for your followers and say, listen, okay? If you're an illegal, there is a process and a path to citizenship, right? You can get your visa, then you can get your green card, then you can take the test and put your hand up and say the Pledge of Allegiance. Our first lady, Melania Trump, went through that process. She talks about it often, right? You can go through that process, and the country will reward you. The country will reward you. For some reason, America is supposed to just let people come in, overstay their visas, not follow the laws, not even have visas. No other developed nation on earth has that. Maybe Somalia, okay? Maybe if you go to Mogadishu, they're not looking through the paperwork. But for some reason, America is the only developed nation where we're supposed to just allow illegals to run amok in our country. So you celebrities, okay, all you rich celebrities who want to complain and you feel so sorry and you want ice out of your cities, okay? Number one, take them into your own homes. Tear down the walls around your homes. Why don't you tear down the walls around the Grammys and get rid of the security checkpoints? You're all a bunch of frauds, okay? I don't take any of you seriously. You're degenerate scum. Degenerate scum, okay? If we do a drug test on everybody in that audience, okay, let's go to the Grammys. If everybody passes a drug test, then maybe I will take them seriously, okay? But these folks look like they're on uppers and downers and candy corn and all types of stuff, okay? Some of those acceptance speeches, they could barely even form coherent sentences, okay? People are stumbling around the red carpet. Justin Bieber doesn't look well, in my opinion. Justin Bieber doesn't look well. Justin Bieber was there. He had an ice out pin. I don't want to take life advice from Justin Bieber. And Hailey. What has Hailey Bieber done? Made a lip gloss. She's made a lip gloss. What am I supposed to do? Take a life advice from her. I don't want illegals on the street. And then what's interesting is for years, for years I've looked at all of these polls. You know the one group that really wants strong immigration policy? Hispanic Americans, Latinos. Okay? Folks who came to this country the right way way and went through the process. They're the most protective of America and the American dream. They don't want people flooding into the country illegally when they had to go through the whole process step by step. So all you celebrities, you're fake, you're phony. But we got to move on. Did you know that high blood pressure is the number one risk factor for mortality? Yep, one in two adults has it. But here's the good news.

By the time you watch this, it'll probably have grossed $10 million at the box office. It's the biggest documentary debut, I believe, in over a decade. Right? And this is with storms across the country, snow, blizzards, people can't leave their homes. Women are writing me saying we can't wait to go see Melania, but we can't leave our houses yet. You know, I've got folks in Nashville, they just got their power back on and they're writing me saying as soon as we get things up and running, we're going to watch Melania. So everybody who's gone to the theaters, everybody who's seen this film, it's like we're in some secret society, right? We all experienced this one incredible thing. And I don't know what they put in that movie. Mark Beckman, Brett Ratner, Melania Trump. There is something they put, even in the five minutes of the film, within the first five minutes of Melania the movie. You're hooked. Okay? I've never touched a drug in my life. You guys know I'm very boring. I don't do drugs, never done drugs. I don't even drink. I'm a teetotaler. But there's something in that movie that is addictive. And I've heard from so many people saying, I'm going back to the theaters. I'm going to see it again. I mean, when she is strutting in, okay, through the parking garage of Trump Tower with that music going, and she takes that elevator up, and then those gold doors slam. Boom. When those gold doors slam, we're locked in, okay? We are locked in to Melania. So this film is incredible. I've seen so many pictures of people going with groups of girlfriends, moms going with their daughters. And then. I kid you not. I kid you not. Okay, Saturday, after a week of eating fancy, nice food, as you guys know, the first lady was very kind to invite me to the White House. I was eating all this fancy food and living my best life in D.C. i went out, okay, Saturday, and I just wanted some chicken tenders and fries. And at the table next to me, there are these three dudes, okay, three obviously straight guys, and they're talking about what they should go see, and they're looking at different movies on their phone. These guys are like, maybe we should go see Melania. Oh, man. Yeah. I actually think I'd like to go see Melania. Let's go see Melania. These guys next to me, and I said to the person I was with, I was like, I'm eavesdropping. These guys are talking about going to see Melania. The dudes love Melania. She's gorgeous. She's stunning. There are planes, there are motorcades. There's action. I mean, the movie takes you on a journey. This is not your typical documentary. And I've seen a million documentaries. I love documentaries. This is a feature film, cinematic experience. I mean, now that more people have seen it, women are writing me saying, I got emotional. I was tearing up during the film. I was getting. I was tearing up during the film, too, with the parts about her mother and grief and loss. So many people who have gone to see the film, we understand we understand. And one thing I have to say about Melania, the film, it's apolitical. The film is not some political manifesto that's pushing a specific ideology. She's not carrying water for any political party. None of that. This is a film about what it takes to go from being a private citizen to becoming first lady of the United States and dealing with grief and loss and being a mother and a parent. It's this universal story, right? Every woman out here watching this juggles a million things on a daily basis, right? Every woman out there with the phone who's watching this right now, you're juggling whether it's your kids, your work, your spouse, you're taking care of a parent, you're doing all types of things. You got to get this done. You got to get this done. First lady Melanie Trump, she is no different, right? First lady Melania Trump, she just let it all hang out in this film, right? She expressed concerns over safety. She showed herself getting fitted for her clothes, right? She showed, I'm going to pick out this furniture for the White House. I'm going to do this. She let everybody in behind the curtain. And after so many years of having her story told through such partisan lenses, I felt like it was a moment of liberation. That's why we loved the film, Melania. It was this moment of liberation. This is someone who has been lied about, smeared. She's had close friends record conversations, cut them up out of context and play them on cnn. Disgusting, disgusting, disgusting. Low down, dirty types of people coming around our first lady treating her in ways they would never treat former first ladies. Could you imagine if she were a Democrat? And what this film shows you, right? And the way it's just shattered expectations is that the same critics who said Melania was going to flop at the box office, y' all are the same people who said Kamala Harris was going to win in a landslide. Okay? So the critics, we don't really take you that seriously. The pollsters, we don't take you that seriously. The people, the American people across the country, they will put their money where their mouth is if it's a story they're passionate about. And I think the film industry as a whole is starting to wake up. The film industry is starting to wake up because they realize there are audiences between Los Angeles and New York, right? They're always making films for such coastal audiences, these women across the country. I'm getting pictures from Des Moines. I'm getting pictures from Michigan, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma. The theaters are full. The Women are getting up and clapping, clapping at the end of the film. Like, yes, America. It's a moment to come together. And I've heard from so many people, I've even heard from former Democrats on social media. They went to go see Melania and they're like, wait, this movie is really good. This movie. We've never gotten to see this level of access before of what it takes to even put together an inauguration, to put together the White House. And so it's that level of transparency that we see in the Trump administration. The first lady is also carrying through in her personal life. And something else I will say about the film as it pertains to the film. Melania. When I first started covering politics and I first went to Iowa in the summer of 2023, July of 2023, I went to Iowa for the first time to cover the Republican primary. And because I didn't know anybody, I got to befriend everyone on the team, right? So I didn't know these candidates. Whether it's Vivek or whoever or DeSantis, I would just become friends with the staff because that's who I could reach and that's who I could talk to. And so you can judge a public figure, right? You can judge the celebrity, you can judge the public figure. But I always look at who do they have around them? Okay, who do they have around them? That is just as important. And First Lady Melania Trump, the team she's curated around here around her, and they get to star in the film as well, they are all incredible. They're kind, they're smart, they're hardworking, they're mission oriented, and they're driven. And so when someone is able to curate such a good team around them, you know, that's a boss right there. That is a boss, right? If you didn't love First Lady Melania Trump before, when you see how she's able to execute and get things done and execute her vision with her team, that is how it is done, because leadership comes from the top. And so watching the film, it gave me just even more respect for her. You guys know I'm the number one Melania person. I don't even have to explain that, but it gave me more respect for her because you see her team in action, and. And that could only be done if the leader is running that ship. Running that ship. So shout out to Melania. The last thing I'll say on the film. Hopefully by Wednesday when we come back, you guys will have seen more of it. I have not taken a $1 to promote Melania, the film, okay? No one can pay me to promote a darn thing that I don't want to promote, okay? I haven't taken $1. And as you guys know, I am not capable of getting on camera and lying. I cannot get on camera and lie and act like I enjoy and love something. And if I don't, okay, if I could get on camera and lie well, or sell a lie, I'd probably be more famous and more successful. But I genuinely loved the film Melania and there's a reason audiences across the country are loving the film as well. So go see it if you're solo. I saw one girl, she went to go see Melania in theaters by herself. She ended up becoming friends with these other women who are a little bit older than her. They said, we're going to get dinner after the showing. They all went to dinner. Now they're friends. You're going to meet like minded individuals, okay? Like when I was on the tour in October, I said, come to the show, okay? Come to the show at the arena because you're going to make friends. And everybody left, exchanging numbers and emails and became friends. So go see Melania. The last thing I want to say, Saturday Night Live, okay? Saturday Night Live. SNL has not been funny in years. Maybe since before I was born. I think the last time SNL was funny was probably during the 2008 election. I will give them kudos for that, even though I was a child. But snl, what they do is they punch up because they're down here. Snl, they're down here. They're low down, dirty scum. They're not funny. They don't care about speaking to half the country. They don't actually care about speaking to a majority of the country. Only like 23% of the country identifies with the Democratic Party right now. SNL doesn't care about a majority of the country. They decided to mock First Lady Melania Trump's accent or the fact that she speaks multiple languages. Let's take a look and then dissect the clip. Melania was directed by Rush Hour director Brett Ratner, which explains this scene. Do you speak her any English? Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth? If a Republican show, if a Republican made that joke about a Democrat, they would have been canceled. I don't find the humor. I don't think it's funny. The first lady is eloquent. She's smart, she's. She's intelligent. She's Reuniting children lost at war. She's putting kids through college. Be best take it down Act. She's passing legislation. And what do they make fun of? They make fun of the fact that, what, she might have a slight accent. She speaks like 20 languages. What, she's not supposed to have a little bit of an accent. But this is what SNL does, okay? They want to tear down women if they don't happen to be Democrats, right? If a woman happens to be married to a Republican, SNL is going to attack her, right? If she, if she's not part of that elite DNC cabal, okay, they're gonna attack her and denigrate her. I didn't really find the humor, I didn't think it was funny. Making fun of the fact that what, she speaks multiple languages and she's a self made woman who immigrated to this country and went through the process. She got her visa, her green card, her citizenship. Maybe some folks should take notes. Maybe some of these folks who poured in the last four years should take notes and stop crying. Stop crying. When they get deported, they. So no, I don't find the humor in that. I don't think it's interesting. I don't think SNL has any good writers left on staff. And it's just interesting because these same folks who say we should just let all these immigrants from across the world into our country, they're making fun of a self made woman who speaks multiple languages and is very eloquent. I mean, when the first lady, Melania Trump gets up to speak, crowds jump on their feet. I've seen it in person. I saw her in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina back in November speaking to troops. They were up out of their seats cheering for her, going buck wild for her. So you guys want to make fun of her because what, she has a little bit of an accent? Maybe a little bit, not even that much of an accent. I don't see the humor. So snl, you guys are scum. It's gross. You're attacking this woman because she happens to be a part of the Republican Party and a part of this administration and because her husband is the president. That's why you're, that's why you are attacking her. And you guys should go back to the drawing board and try to come up with some new material. Now we have to talk about Mrs. Happy Ellen DeGeneres. If you guys remember, the last few weeks we've been tracking Ellen DeGeneres because she's really upset over ice. Okay? She's so Upset that we want to have common sense immigration policies in this country. Well, Ellen, apparently, she doesn't want walls around the country, but she wants to have walls around her own dwelling and her own residence. And so she was actually caught shopping for a mansion in Montecito on Friday, despite calling for a nationwide buying shutdown to protest ice. So Ellen and all these celebrities, they said people should not purchase anything. Don't go to school, don't go to work. But then she's out there shopping for a mansion, and she was caught by the paparazzi. Now, she toured a $35 million beachfront home. Oh, she must be struggling. Beachfront home with a realtor. That very day she was supposed to be participating in the no work, no school, no shopping movement that she promoted on social. Along with a $17 million home in the same area. So basically, she has a $17 million home. She's looking to upgrade. She needs more room. Okay, I can't. Who can blame the girl, right? So she's going to go slum it now in this $35 million mansion, but yet she wants average Americans. Don't go to school, don't go to work. Don't buy groceries for your families. Y' all just stay home and suffer. Okay? But I'm out here shopping for a mansion, and it's because it's the rules for the. Not for me. These celebrities are disgusting, feckless cowards, and they're hypocrites, and they're de. And they should all be sent to an island. Let's send Ellen to Guantanamo and see how she does for 24 hours without her creature comforts. But Ellen DeGeneres to tell the entire country to stay home, don't go to work, don't go to school, don't collect a check. And then she's out there. She's literally out there buying a 35 million dollar mansion. You're a joke. You're literally a joke. It's why I don't take Ellen seriously or Oprah or Meghan Markle or any of these women. And Montecito is gorgeous, right? Montecito is objectively gorgeous. Have been to Montecito, and I remember driving around in the rental car and looking at all the homes and going into the restaurants and wow. It's very, very gorgeous and beautiful in Montecito. It's incredible. I'm in Santa Barbara, the entire area. But I don't want to hear from someone in a 35 million dollar mansion about how I should live my life. Why should we take cues on our lives from someone who's living in a $35 million mansion, probably in a gated community with armed guards, security, personal chefs, trainers, and however many girlfriends she has. Who knows? So I don't want to take life advice from Elle DeGeneres. I just want a secure border. And if that upsets people, sorry. You don't have to overhaul your whole life in 2026.

But maybe you should have asked for more. Say hello to the Hot Honey Snack Wrap. Now you've really won. Go to McDonald's and get it while you can. On well, now we have to talk about the most boring gay man on earth, Don Lemon. Okay, Don Lemon, who says he hates white men. But he has white men inside him every single night. Allegedly. So he always says he hates white men and that white men are broken. But he's married to a white man. Typical tale as old as time. Don Lemon. He was released on Friday. I have all the notes here. Following his arrest in Los Angeles for his involvement in interrupting a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota. Because apparently if you're Christian, you don't have a right to gather and worship, right? Apparently you can't get together and have fellowship with friends and family and fellow parishioners without Don Lemon running in. Rough and tumble. Rough and tumble. To make a Viral moment because you're desperate. You're desperate. No one wants to watch you. You're not funny. This arrest is the most interesting thing that's happened to you. And so when people get mad at me for saying, Don Lemon's a boring ass gay man, guess what? He's so boring. Getting arrested for a couple of hours is, like, his goal in life. It's the apex of fame for him. Even the folks on CNN are like, we still hate Don Lemon. We can't stand him. Like, he has said women are past their prime. He's. Oh, God, what sort. A misogynist. Okay? It's been a lot long couple of weeks. He's a misogynist. He hates women. He's disgusting. It's hard to get the people at CNN not to like you, okay? When you're a liberal Democrat like Don Lemon, the fact that his old. His own coworkers at CNN didn't like him, that's not good. Okay? He's a diva. He's tough to work with. So Don Lemon, he also got a standing ovation at this Clive Davis pre Grammy party. And we have a clip we have up on the screen. So he got a standing ovation. And this guy, he's acting like he won a Grammy. He's acting like he got a Nobel Peace Prize. And knowing the committee, they'll probably give him one, the bar is so low. But no, he's waving to the crowd, getting a standing ovation for what? Running into a church and obstructing a church service, Violating people's right to worship and free speech and all of the above. That's all it takes to get a standing ovation. But the resistance. The resistance is struggling so much. Someone who is leading the resistance is Nicki Minaj. Nicki Minaj, she was on a podcast with Katie Miller, and she was actually asked about Don Lemon. Take a look at the clip. You called for Don Lemon's arrest over his church stunt in Minneapolis. He since called you racist, unhinged, homophobic, and out of your death. Anything you'd like to say to Don Lemon, stop. Now. Don Lemon and all the gay rights organizations, all the LGBTQIA, R2D2 organizations, they are upset with my girl Nicki Minaj, okay? They're upset over her choice of words. And I have to say, okay, if my mom's Bible study is watching, I apologize, ladies. But the word Nicki Minaj used for Don Lemon could be a term of endearment, right? For our people. Hey, cocksucker. It could be a term Of Endearment. You know what I'm saying? I don't think that's anything to be mad about. It's accurate. It's an accurate portrayal and description of who Don Lemon is. I mean, people in my comments will write that and call me that. I say, well, not that often. I'm just kidding. Sorry to my mom's Bible study. But no. To call Don Lemon that word. I think it's a compliment. It's a frickin compliment. Like, that's who you are. Okay, I don't understand all the pearl clutching and the being angry and literally Democrats will call Republicans Nazis, fascist Hitler, threats to democracy. I mean, they call ICE the modern day Gestapo. If we want to call Don Lemon a cocksucker, I'm sorry. It's accurate. You know, it's. You know, it's like if the shoe fits. You get what I'm saying? So if the shoe fits, that is who Don Lemon is. And I don't think it's anything to be upset about. I think it could be a compliment for many gays and in West Hollywood, I think that would be a compliment. I mean, driving down Santa Monica, hey, hey, cocksucker. So I don't know what, you know, all the anger is about Don Lemon. He's also says he's not worried about going to jail. Let's take a look at that. He's not worried about jail, apparently. Haven't seen this. Let's look. If you think that I was outspoken before this, just wait, just wait. So I know that there are people who think like, oh, you know, do this and you know that I'm gonna be locked up or whatever. I ain't worried about that. That you heard the truth and the truth shall make you free. I ain't even worried about that. Like, not. Don Lemon says he's not worried about going to prison because going to prison and being locked up in a cell block with a bunch of big burly men is his fantasy, okay? The reason Don Lemon is like, come and arrest me, boys. Come and lock me in a jail cell. That's his goal, okay? He's gonna drop the soap on purpose. Don Lemon's the only person who's going to beg to be the bottom bitch of the prison. You know what I'm saying? Like, he's gonna beg to go to prison. He'd rather go to prison than be at home with that boring husband of his. So no, Don Lemon, he's like, I'm not scared of going to prison. Yeah, that's your goal. Okay. If we check Don Lemon's Internet search history, I bet you there's a lot of prison filmography in there. Okay. Some prison scenes. Not great acting in the scenes, but I imagine he's watched a prison scene here or there. Okay. He's the only person to carry his own handcuffs, and they're furry, so. Dunlimon, he's not worried about going to prison. In fact, it's his goal in life and his fantasy, and he's dreaming about it every night. I. I think we should send Don Lemon to prison for one year. One year, Big Brother style. Cameras in the cell and watch him crack. There's nothing I love more than watching a diva crack. Okay. Don Lemon, he probably gets a manicure and a pedicure once a week. Probably has help, has assistance. I mean, a bad day for Don Lemon would be flying commercial. I mean, that would be a nightmare. Don Lemon had to fly commercial. So let's put him in prison. Okay. Let's do a Big Brother style pay per view. We could pay off the national debt. If we put Don Lemon in prison and did pay per view to tune in on a live feed and watch him for a year, I think we could just doge. Hello. We've now paid off the national debt. So thank you. You're welcome. For the ideas. Don Lemon, we wish you well. But people in this country have a right to worship, whether they're Christian, they're Jewish, they're Catholic, you name it. Methodist this and that. Y' all go and worship. And it sucks that these churches are going to have to start hiring security. I know. My church I went to years ago. They've had to beef up their security and police presence because you just can't take chances. You can't take chances. And it's just so disgusting that Don Lemon ran in there. And I want to read you really quickly. Don Lemon, he's received support from Nancy Pelosi. Not shocked about that. Pelosi greeted Lemon and told him that after being charged with conspiracy. With a conspiracy to deprive rights for live streaming while anti ice protesters entered a church in Minnesota. That's a long sentence. He's become the face of the First Amendment. So apparently, Nancy Pelosi allegedly believes that Don Lemon is the face of the First Amendment. This is all getting too convoluted for my little peanut brain. We're going to move on to some new topics. It's a new year, but we've got the same broken system.

If we take the fraud we uncovered in Minnesota, the Somali fraud, and we go and even look under the hood in California, you're going to find tons of fraud in all of these blue states. I mean, these blue states, they wouldn't even turn over their SNAP data, right? I think they say, what, 40% of the country is on SNAP. And these blue states, dozens of them, won't turn over SNAP data. It's concerning. But journalist Nick Shirley, okay, who is the guy who uncovered all of the Somali daycare fraud in Minnesota. He is back, okay? He is back. He has landed in California, Nick Shirley, and he is there to sort of suss out and look for the waste, the fraud, the abuse. And this goes to show the power of independent media because none of these corporate, corporate media giants and titans bothered to go to California. None of them bothered to go and look under the hood and look at this fraud. They didn't go to Minnesota. Journalists didn't want to ask questions, right? Because most of the journalists, when you turn on these networks, they are Democrats themselves. And so they will overlook negative stories about Democrats. These aren't people who are just calling it like they see it, right? They're going to overlook negative stories, especially if it's their own state. But Gavin Newsom, he claims, he claims that there is fraud in California, but that he's Been after it for years. Let's look. We absolutely are here to be a partner, to go after waste, fraud and abuse. I started something called odi Office Digital Innovation. I did not. My mistake. Do it with a chainsaw. Had I done that, you would know about it. No one's denying these issues. But let's also not deny this is purely political. Gavin Newsom, you can run, but you can't hide. This is not political. Right. We can look at fraud in red states, blue states. I feel like red states would be more than willing to cooperate. The same people who said it was racist to uncover the Somali fraud. It's not racist to say that you want your tax dollars to go to a good cause. Right? We shouldn't be losing billions and billions of dollars to go to organizations that say their daycares, and there are no children there. Money that's allegedly being funneled back to terrorism. That's not what our tax dollars should be used for. And the folks in California, there's a reason they're pissed. It's why I'm happy. We see folks like Spencer Pratt and others getting in there and throwing their names in the ring to run for public office in California because Karen Bass, Gavin Newsom. The fire hydrants didn't have water. But then you're running a deficit of tens of billions of dollars. So where is the money going? Right. Where is the money going? And then Gavin Newsom, he had this program for homelessness that we spoke about last week. He had this homeless program. They allegedly spent hundreds of millions of dollars. Only 22 people got helped. Where is all the money going? And so he can say it's political. He can say it's partisan. He can say people are doing this on purpose to gain political points. All we want in life is, is our tax dollars to go to something decent. Right? Building roads, cleaning waterways, doing things that will make our lives better. Right? That is what we want our tax dollars going to. Right? I'm trying to. I'm actually sitting here thinking I'm turning into a libertarian. I'm like, wait, what do our tax dollars go to that's good? I mean, maybe public education so kids can learn. Let's overhaul that system. So let's have our tax dollars go to things that are actually decent. Right? I don't have a problem if someone's fallen on hard times, they lost their job and they need some assistance. But that's the point. It's assistance for a short period of time, okay? It's momentary assistance. It's not get on a government program and live there for 20 years without being kicked off. Right. You got to get a little bit of assistance if you're in a tough spot. I'm fine with that. If someone is injured, if they lose their job, they come back from war, they need help, that's okay. That's what we're supposed to do as Americans. Let's link arms and help each other. But then you have all of this fraud on these government programs. And so, Gavin Newsom, we gotta look underneath the hood, but you can run, but you can't hide, unfortunately. Well, my friends, thank you so much for tuning in to Spot on with Link. Lauren, be sure to drop a comment, tell me what you think. I also want to hear from you. If you live in California, what do you think about Gavin Newsom running for president? Right. There are all of these rumors that he's more seriously than ever considering running in 2028. So I want to hear about that. I want to hear about John Lemon. I want to hear your thoughts on the Grammys, your thoughts on the Melania film. I want to read through and pour through all the comments, but I love you guys. And we will be back on Wednesday, so stay safe, kiss your loved ones, and have a good one. Bye.
