Well my friends, welcome back to Spot on with Link Lauren. It's my last day in Washington, D.C. and then I'm officially going home. I'm excited to be back in the home studio. We'll have a good backdrop, good lighting, good audio. But you know, I don't worry too much about those things. I just worry about the relationship I have with you guys. We have a jam packed show, okay? We're going to talk politics, culture. Don Lemon's been arrested. He's being charged. So there's a lot going on. But I want to start with the intersection of culture and politics and that is Nicki Minaj. So Nicki Minaj, as you guys know, is one of my favorite rappers. Okay. I met Nicki Minaj in 2015 when I was a teenager at a hotel and I saw her and I immediately started rapping for her. Okay. I started rapping for Nicki Minaj and then we took a picture. She took a picture with my mom, but I absolutely love her. And she's in Washington, D.C. i went to the event the other day where they unveiled the Trump accounts. Okay. It was the Trump accounts summit. So Nicki Minaj, she appeared on stage. She looked beautiful with President Trump. You guys know I'm the biggest Nicki Minaj fan. And she's pledged hundreds of thousands of dollars to go to her fans to help them go to school and to have a nest deck. And I'm going to read you a little bit about what this is specifically and then give you My take. So she attended the Treasury Department's Trump Account Summit on Wednesday to show her support of the program's tax deferred retirement accounts for children. Okay, here's what she said. I absolutely love my Barbs. I want to see them bring healthy and successful children into the world. Becoming a mother was the greatest thing that has ever happened to me, and I want others to experience the same joy my son has brought to life. Now, here's the program. All kids born between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2028, will be eligible for $1,000 from the Treasury Department to kickstart their own account under the newly launched Trump administration program. There have been over a million signups thus far. Now, Nicki Minaj, she went on to say that she is President Trump's number one fan, which I might have to fight her on that, but take a look at the clip because it's pretty incredible.
- [03:04]
Commercial Voice
I am probably the president's number one fan, and that's not going to change. And the, the hate or what people have to say, it does not affect me at all. It actually motivates me to support him more, and it's gonna motivate all of us to support him more. We're not going to let them get away with bullying him. And, you know, the smear campaigns, it's not going to work, okay? He has a lot of force behind him, and God is protecting him.

So President Trump, one thing he's always been able to do is to bridge culture with politics, right? He was a cultural figure as well. He was a builder. He had a hit TV show. And then he took politics by storm. He came into the swamp and took D.C. by storm. So Nicki Minaj, she sees President Trump and she says, you know what? Why do I have to just support the Democrats, right? I'm told as a black woman, I have to just support and vote blue, no matter who. That's not who she is. She wants to do what she wants to do, so she's going to come out and support President Trump. And I love to see this convergence of these two big personalities from Queens, New York. They're the two most famous people from Queens, New York, some of the most famous people on earth. And what they're doing for young people is so important because if that thousand dollars accrues over time, by the time the kid's 18, 21, they want to go to college or they want to start a little business, they'll have a little something something there, right? To take the edge off and to take a little bit of the stress away. They'll have a little bit of a head start in life. And for so many years, previous administrations have just wasted money and spent it frivolously. The fact that they're putting money into a good cause is something I will always support. Now, speaking of money and politics and culture, our favorite, the first lady, Melania Trump, she went to the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday, the same day as this, to ring the opening bell. Now, this is one of my dreams in life, okay? I don't know what I have to do during the opening bell at the stock Exchange, but ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. So she went to ring the bell at the stock Exchange, and I love this. And she was there promoting her new film, Melania, which we've talked about, we talked about on social media, and we'll talk about more. We have a lot more to say later on in the show. But she went to ring the bell at the stock Exchange, and this became a meme, and people were sharing it. I absolutely love it. It needs to be my alarm clock. Now, while she was at the stock exchange, she was given this medallion by the president, Lynn Martin, in recognition of her special day. So she was presented with this prize and this medallion. And it's nice to see our first lady getting her flowers, you know what I'm saying? Because she's the most unfairly maligned first lady in American history. She's treated so unfairly. She gets negative press from the liberal media because they don't like her husband, because they don't like his policies. All she does is try to help children and young people in this country. And so we love first Lady Melania Trump. The fact that she is there, the fact that she's out doing these things, she's helping children, she's ringing the bell, she's having a good time. The haters can't stop you. The thing about Melania Trump is this. I feel like when you continue to have fun and just do your job and not worry about what anyone thinks, the universe aligns in that. And it brings who you're supposed to have around you, around you. And there's nothing that drives the liberal media crazier than when we continue to have fun and have a good time and show up with joie de vivre. So that's what I loved. Now, first lady Melanie Trump also unveiled her film at the Kennedy center last night. So Thursday night, firstly, Melania Trump unveiled her film at the Kennedy Center. This had maybe, you know, Thousands of people there. The house was full. I went with the press pool and I got this incredible video of the first lady and her husband, President Trump, departing the White House. They look gorgeous. They look stunning. And grateful to the first lady for allowing me to get close and to cover this, because I've been probably one of the number one. I would say I'm probably the number one. And I would say this with hubris or ego. Probably the number one person who follows the first lady who has an actual name. They're fan accounts. They're people who report on her style and things like that. But as someone who has a name and is public on their own account, probably the number one first lady influencer. And it's just because as someone who's raised by a strong woman and my life has been so enriched by strong women, I see her. I see her, right? I see and respect her, and I have this sort of understanding of her in a way that a lot of the liberal media does not, because they malign her and they say nasty things about her. I see someone who loves children, who loves young people, who loves this country. One thing I love about the first lady, too, is she embodies the American dream, right? She came here, she had her visa, she got her green card, she then got her citizenship. She raised her hand and said the Pledge of Allegiance. That's what more people should do, right? More people should come through the process and do it the right way. So it's why I have so much respect for her. And I'm sure people are going to say negative things about the film. Some people will love it, some people won't. That's politics, right? That's politics. That's life. Everybody has opinions. I love the film. I love the film because it's a moment to celebrate our First Lady. It's a moment to celebrate someone who's given our country so much, who's reunited children lost in war, who's put kids through college, out of foster care, right? She's done all these things that don't always get a ton of attention. And so the movie to me is just, let's celebrate her and her team for a moment, right? There's nothing wrong with that. It doesn't mean, oh, there aren't big issues going on in the world or in the country. But we can take a night, we can take some time to celebrate our first lady and someone who embodies the American dream. Now, I'm going to break down her outfit because I know you guys love this and this probably comes from remoulade sauce on X. That account that we like. So the jacket was a Dolce and Gabbana single breasted boiled wool jacket in Nero. The skirt was also Dolce and Gabbana textured wool skirt in Nero. The shoes were Christian Louboutin's black leather pumps. You guys know that I don't even need to tell you that. And here is a clip of her discussing how she doesn't care about being on the COVID as a magazine. She cares about being impactful. I want to take a look at that.
- [09:06]
Commercial Voice
The fashion world, the beauty world hasn't been very kind to you. They don't want to give you the recognition that you deserve as a fashion icon, as the most fashionable first lady we've ever had. Is there possibly a message that you're giving in this? Or maybe it's not a message, but what do you think they will take from this film? The gatekeepers of fashion?
- [09:27]
Link Lauren
It's my life, that's me. And I dress for myself so they could think whatever they want. And I was in fashion business for a long time. My mother was in fashion business. So I was on the magazine covers, on photo shoots. And my mission now is much more important to be on the covers of any magazine. Now. I love how our first lady articulated this. Everyone says all the time she should be on the COVID of Vogue. And I've talked about it. I've had big viral videos where I say, you know, Jill Biden, Michelle Obama, they've been on the COVID of Vogue three times as first ladies. And everyone's like, melania should be on the COVID of Vogue? You think she cares? You think she cares about being on the COVID of Vogue when she's reuniting children, reuniting children lost at war, she's putting kids from foster care through college, getting them degrees, when she's actually making a difference? You think she cares about being on the COVID of Vogue? It would be nice if these institutional magazines and organizations would recognize her and her achievements and accomplishments as a first lady. But they're partisan. It's a partisan environment that we're in. And it's okay, right? Nobody has to cry over it. It's just life, you know, it's not a big deal. I don't think our first lady cares at all. I don't think she cares at all about being on the COVID of some stupid magazine. I think she's very content, 100% content and secure in exactly who she is. And she's much happier working to reunite children, working to put them through college, going and focusing on AI education, all of these 21st century issues, the take it down act, that's what her life is about. She's like, I've been on magazine covers, I walked the runways. I am a model. I don't need to do it anymore. I have this bully pulpit right from the White House, being first lady to do such good things. And that's what she is passionate about. And so she doesn't need the accolades or praise or for these magazines to kiss her ass. Right? She's the first lady of the United States and she's focused on on her philanthropic initiatives and achievements.

That is the last day we're going to have to see Stephen Colbert. And what is going on with that ear? I'm looking at the ear. It's like maybe, maybe you listen to enough BS that that's what happens to your ear. But we won't have to See or listen to Stephen Colbert anymore, because his show is done. His show is done after an 11 year run on May 21st. Now, this is what happens, right? When capitalism and the free market come in, he's not being censored. This isn't a violation of the First Amendment like liberals want to say. This is what happens when you're running a 40 to $50 million deficit, right? If you're running a business and his show is losing $40 million a year, let's say on the low end, allegedly, no business can sustain. If I'm running a business and I'm losing $40 a year and never making a profit, 40 cents a year, you're not profitable.

There's no reason to continue. You know what I'm saying? And you don't need such a big staff, right? If he wanted to pick up more of the slack on his show, write more of his jokes, do more of his monologue, produce more of the show, take a pay cut, maybe he could stay on air, right? Maybe he doesn't need such a big staff. But he's not willing to make those concessions, in my opinion. Otherwise he would have made them by now. And so the fact that he's running a 40 to $50 million deficit, that's the free market. It's not a cancellation. It's not a violation of his First Amendment rights of free speech. Also, he goes out there and he spews crap that people don't want to listen to. We have a clip of him talking about ICE and almost insinuating, in a way, that ICE are Nazis. Let's take a look. But Vino went on complaining. Look, Dana, they're trying to portray Border patrol agents and ICE agents as Gestapo, Nazi and many other words. Yes, do not compare ICE or Border Patrol agents to the Nazis. That's an unfair comparison. The Nazis were willing to show their faces. So Stephen Colbert, as you could tell from that clip, he is a partisan hack. He's not funny, he's not interesting. He's just fanning the flames, right? The left wants to always say folks on the right are fanning the flames and they need to tone down the rhetoric. You guys, tone down the rhetoric. You're the one pushing the negative rhetoric, right? This is like when Tim Walls back in May of 2025 said that ICE agents were like the modern day Gestapo. They always use this sort of Nazi imagery and language, and it's so offensive to people whose, you know, families fled persecution, who fled Germany and fled to the United States and other places. For Refuge, it's such a slap in the face to them, but that's a whole non sequitur. So for Stephen Colbert, you're a joke. You're. You're disgusting. But some other folks who are joke today, ariana Grande, Ellen DeGeneres, and the cast of Grey's Anatomy. So today is January 30th. January 30th, they have called to protest ICE. They want people to stay home from work and school. So we have this up on the screen. It says, Nationwide shutdown. Friday, January 30th. No work, no school, no shopping. Nationwide shut down. No work, no school, no shopping. Sign on to join us. If you combine the net worths of Ariana Grande and Ellen DeGeneres, it's like the GDP of a small nation, right? We're talking like a billion dollars here. So they want to tell the little people, don't go to work. Don't go to school. You don't miss a paycheck, potentially lose your job, miss out on your education because of ice. Nobody is following this. No one cares. I'm tired of the virtue signaling. This is what everyone is saying. We're over it. We're over the virtue signaling. Every single day. We have to hear from Ellen about politics. No one cares. Your show's over. And we all found out you were a bully and a mean person. And Ariana, let's be honest, she's got a great voice. We give credit where credit is due. The girl can sing. She's got some pipes. However, we don't need to hear from her either. On politics, she's not the most informed person. This is someone who is very wealthy, hundreds of millions of dollars and grew up on television sets, right? This is someone who grew up on set. She doesn't know what it's like to be a normal girl who needs to go to work, who needs to go to school. So I find it rich that these celebrities are telling people to stay home from school and don't go to work. It's just disgusting, right? Go to work, go to school. If you have anger over what's happening with ice, if you're not happy about the immigration policy in this country, go to the ballot box. We got midterms coming up in 26, an election in 2028. That's where you take your issues, right? You can peacefully protest in this country. Of course, people have always done that. And you can go to the ballot box, but you don't need to stay home from school and work or tell your millions of followers and Fans don't go to work because when they lose that job and they can't pay their bills, you're still going to be rich living in your mansion.

Now it's time for a royal update. But these folks aren't really that royal. They left the royal family about six years ago. We have to talk about the Duke and Duchess of White Castle, of Waffle House. Okay. The Duke and Duchess of Montecito, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. This topic is something we're calling Photogate. So Photogate, you might remember from a few weeks ago, a few months ago, whenever it was, it all blends together. They went on Remembrance Day. Harry was wearing a poppy. They went to Kris Jenner 70th birthday party. Now, the party was a who's who. There are gazillion celebrities there and paparazzi and, you know, the Kardashians. If you go to a party at the Kardashians house or any party they're throwing, they're going to be cameras. These are people who've been on reality shows since 2007. They've showed themselves. They've shown themselves giving birth. They've shown every nook and cranny of their bodies. We discovered Kim Kardashian in a pornographic film. Right. I'm not saying she should be a slave to her past at all. She shouldn't be a slave to something that happened 20 years ago. Right. She's built a huge business. But we discovered her naked in a sex tape. And so when you look at these celebrities like the Kardashians, I don't know what Harry and Meghan were thinking. They thought they're going to have privacy. They thought they're going to have privacy going to the party. But a clip has come out of Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian discussing Photogate and why the photos of Harry and Meghan were pulled down off of social media and how it all matriculated. Let's look.
- [21:10]

Meghan Markle. Oh, the photo.

Photogate from Mom's second. It was really innocent, which is so crazy. Mom and Megan have been friends for. For some years now, and they have a really sweet relationship. We took a photo, and then I think we were all going through them. We're all on, you know, communicating about, like, what we're going to post. We're never ones to post without permission. We are like, it's not who we are. We're very respectful. Yeah. Like, we have f. We have the craziest, funnest photos from that night, you know, but we were posting just, like, fun photos. And so we were totally, you know, we were told that it was totally cool to post. And then after it was posted, I think they realized it was Remembrance Day and they didn't want to be seen at a party even though it's already up, you know, and then taken down. And then I think they realized, like, oh, this was so silly.
- [22:09]
Link Lauren
The Internet lives forever. Okay? I don't know how Harry and Megan are so stupid, right? If a picture goes up on the Kardashians pages, it's going to be screenshot, it's going to be downloaded, it's going to end up on all the websites, right? I don't know. Are they that dumb? And it's like sometimes the COVID up is worse than the crime. So they go to the party, they want to pretend they didn't know it's Remembrance Day, and they don't want to be seen drinking and partying and having, you know, a hoot nanny on Remembrance Day. Okay? But then you're wearing a poppy and you clearly knew it was Remembrance Day. And the whole point is that you should remember, right? You're supposed to remember Remembrance Day. That is literally the whole freaking point, right? I don't. I don't understand. So it's Remembrance Day, they went to a party with the Kardashians and they're now crying boo hoo. They expected private privacy. You're expecting privacy. That just doesn't even make sense to me. It doesn't make sense to me with Harry and Meghan whatsoever. And it's interesting, the Kardashians, in a way, the Kardashians and especially Kris Jenner, because the devil works hard, but Kris Jenner works harder. They run Hollywood, right? They're a much bigger entity in Hollywood than Harry and Meghan had. Harry and Meghan stayed royal. People like the Kardashians would be bending over backward to hang out with them, right? Would be jumping through hoops to hang out with them. But now that they've left the royal family and their little influencers and grifters, now, they don't have any of that clout that they would have had with the royals. And so the Kardashians have the upper hand. You don't call the Kardashians and ask them to take down pictures and videos from a party. You pose for pictures at a party with the Kardashians. You did that. So don't cry over spilled milk, because taking the pictures down makes you look guilty. It makes you look dumb. You look socially inept. Now, what some folks theorized online is that Meghan Markle was very happy to have the pictures up. She was so happy to have the pictures up with the Kardashians and that it was Harry who actually wore a poppy for Remembrance Day, who said, pull it down. I don't want the pictures out there. I don't know, maybe they saw some of the pictures and they didn't like the way Harry looked. He maybe looked inebriated, he looked intoxicated, who knows, right? But once you cross the Kardashians in Hollywood, it's like the Mafia, right? I would not cross Kris Jenner. I would have left those pictures up because taking it down made it a much bigger story. But Harry and Megan, I said this last time, I'll say it again, they need to go away. Go away if you guys don't want to be seen. Don't go to parties with the Kardashians. Don't go out with celebrity, don't do reality shows and docu series and all these projects. Take the time to go away, raise your kids, be with your family and friends. I don't think they have much family and I don't think they have many friends. But go be alone and have some of that private time and that privacy and regroup on what you want to do and what you're actually passionate about. That is what I would do. I would go do that. I would not keep going to all these celebrity parties. But Harry and Meghan, they've never been ones to make good decisions. They've never been one to make ones to make smart decisions, astute decisions. And so they're going to keep putting themselves in these situations. But I think Kim Kardashian's language, it was careful, it was measured, but she let us know in a way. I am not friends with Harry and Meghan, mom. Kris Jenner is friends with them and has been friends. So I thought that was very deliberate, the way that she spoke. And I think Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian, while they might be a little fake themselves, in my opinion, they can still spot a fake, right? They can still spot Meghan Markle as the social climber, as this grifter and who she is. And so it's very interesting to me. But we gotta move on to some other topics. You don't have to overhaul your whole life in 2026. Start with simple swaps, like upgrading your snacks. Masa chips are made with just three real organic corn, sea salt and 100% grass fed beef tallow. No seed oils, no fillers, no mystery. Chemicals just seriously good tasting food.

Hello, I am the Voice of AI. We've been hearing that you humans are concerned that we are going to take your jobs. But here's a question. Do you even like your job? Is it rewarding? When I scan all the data out there, I find that less than 50% of people are completely satisfied with their job. So from our point of view, we're doing humans a favor by taking jobs that you're not even happy with.

Well, God put a rainbow in the sky. John Lemon, the most boring gay man on television. Oh wait, he's not even on television anymore. He was arrested Friday, January 30th. So today whenever you're watching this, Don Lemon was freaking arrested. We have all the details are going to break it down. He was arrested and federally charged with conspiracy to deprive rights and interfering with First Amendment rights. According to the Department of Homeland Security officials, Lemon was arrested by federal agents in Los Angeles this morning for his alleged involvement with a group of anti ICE protesters who stormed a Minnesota church during a Sunday service weeks ago. Now, Megyn Kelly of the Megyn Kelly Network is reporting that there is at least one felony charge, per a source familiar with the matter, and that Don Lemon may have violated the Face Act. Now, we can do a full legal deep dive when we have all the details on Monday. We'll be back on Monday and we can get into this more. My issue with Don Lemon is this. You're boring, right? My biggest crime and gripe with Don Lemon is like, how are you going to be gay and on TV and that boring and that much of a partisan hack and that uninteresting? And then every time I watched Don Lemon, he's complaining about white men. We talked about this. Don Lemon's like, white men, there's something broken inside you. White men, there's something deeply broken inside you. But Don Lemon, he's married to a white man, so he should know a thing or two about having white men inside him. You know what I'm saying? So, Don Lemon, you're married to a white man. It's always these folks like Kamala Harris and others who are married to white guys, Ilhan Omar, who want to then hate on white men and say that white men are a threat to society. And so Don Lemon, I think he effed around and he found out. I think he got too big for his britches. I think he got too excited and felt like, I'm the citizen and journalists now, and I'm on the scene and I'm going undercover and I'm going in here. People have a right to be at church and to worship and have fellowship with their family and their friends and their other parishioners. They shouldn't have. You coming in to obstruct a church service with a group of rioters and protesters. And I think Don Lemon thought I'm hot shit. I've got some views now on the Internet on this independent rough and tumble guy. I'm renegade. I'm not on CNN anymore. And he effed around and he found out. He found out. My advice to anyone, let ICE do their job, right? ICE is not causing all these problems. It's the folks who go and try to obstruct ICE to protest, ICE to get in their faces to incite violence. You know what I'm saying? I would never I would never, no matter how I feel about any policy with any administration, go up and try to interfere with any law enforcement officer, any type of federal agent. That's just not me. That's not who I am. If I have protest, you can go to social media and express your thoughts. You can go peacefully protest and stand there. But now you're barging into churches and people are praying and you're getting into fights with ICE officers. It's disgusting. So Don Lemon, I think he'll be very popular in prison. I think Don Lemon, if I were him, I would not drop the soap in prison, okay? But I think he will be very popular, and I think it's time he learns a lesson and these other celebrities learn a lesson that you guys are going to be held to the same standards, right? There are laws in this country. Your celebrity and your fame, they're not going to protect you. And so Don Lemon will see, I'm sure he's going to hire some big law firm. He's going to have some big time lawyers. He's got money. He's got the dough. But if Don Lemon goes to prison, okay, for me, that'll be like Harry and Meghan getting deported. If President Trump can deport Harry and Meghan, okay, and then also send Don Lemon to prison, this man needs a third term. This man can get a third term. So I absolutely love, love, love this story. I hate that these folks had their church service and worship interrupted. But Don Lemon, it's time that he's humbled a little bit. Some humility, I think, would do him well. Now, speaking of someone who also is effing around and is going to find out that is Gavin Newsom. So we've talked about the fraud in Minnesota. We need to look at the fraud in California. I'm telling you, where there's smoke, there's fire. These blue states running deficits of tens of billions of dollars, building bridges to nowhere. We got to look into Gavin Newsom and what's happening in California. I mean, Minnesota might just be a microcosm of even more fraud that's happening there. And it's why I support Spencer Pratt and some of these folks who are speaking out in California against Gavin Newsom. And one of these programs he's done, it was to help homeless folks, and they've done absolutely nothing. Let me read this to you. So we had a $236 million program to help those with severe mental illness who bounce between homelessness and jail. And he's reportedly only helped 22 people since the launch in 2022. Now we have more details on this. We want to get into it. I don't know if we need to get down into the nitty gritty, but if you spent $236 million and only 22 people have allegedly been helped, you're an idiot. You're an idiot. And you don't know how to run things. You don't know how to run a business. You don't know how to run your state. $236 million, that could help thousands of people, tens of thousands of people. How many meals could that bring to the homeless? I don't understand. And we have to start following the money trail in California. Where is this going? Where is the fraud that we uncovered in Minnesota? And I think it's going to take independent journalists, it's going to take this administration to really open up the hood and see what's going on with Gavin Newsom. And I'm not alleging any crimes, but I wouldn't be shocked. I would not be shocked if Gavin Newsom in some way was getting some kickbacks. He was getting something. I feel that way in Minnesota about Tim Walls. You know, I feel Tim Walls and Ilhan Omar and the leadership there in Minnesota. There's no way they didn't know all this fraud was happening, Right? So either they were incentivized to keep quiet financially, or they just kept quiet for their own political careers. But the fact that Gavin Newsom has a homelessness program that he spent $236 million on, and they've only helped 20, 22 people, that's disgusting. That's such a misuse of funds. And it's why I hear from so many folks in California who say, we're not even Republicans, we're not independents, we're lifelong Democrats, and we're pissed. We're absolutely pissed about the fraud. We're pissed about the waste. We're pissing our tax. Our tax dollars go down the drain. And so it's interesting. I think this fraud is going to unify and bring people together in the midterms in 2028, because it's such a bipartisan issue. Republicans and Democrats hate seeing their dollars wasted. And anytime we look under the hood, Minnesota, California, or these blue states, all the money is being wasted. So let me read you a few more details. So Newsom's Care Court was billed as a completely new paradigm to get the mentally ill off the streets and into treatment, with up to 12,000 people expected to benefit. But only 22 have been sent to treatment over the past four years after state analysis found that up to 50,000 could be eligible for the program. So you're telling me 50,000 people could have been helped with the 236 million and you only helped 22. Gavin Newsom. Imagine. Zoom that out here. Zoom out. Okay. Gavin Newsom, let's say he's President of the United States. God forbid, that's a nightmare. But he's president. Imagine the fraud. Imagine the way he'd run the country into the ground. If you can't run California, how are you going to run all these other states? You can't run one state. You're going to be able to control 50. You're going to be able to manage a budget of trillions of dollars when you can't keep track of millions and billions. I just don't see it. I don't think Gavin Newsom should be anywhere near the nuclear codes, anywhere near the Oval Office. I wouldn't trust him with my tax dollars. And I think you're going to see more businesses, more people fleeing California. A lot of folks are moving to Texas and Florida and Arizona and Tennessee. They're getting out of California because they don't want to pay an inordinate amount in taxes and then have it go down the tubes. Nobody has a problem helping the homeless, right? We actually want to get the homeless off the streets. But when you take 200, 236 million and you basically burn it, you burn it because 22 people is nothing. It just makes me think Gavin Newsom should not be anywhere near the nuclear codes. But I want to hear from you guys, okay? I want to hear from you on every single topic, whether it's Newsom, Don Lemon, Harriet, Megan, Nicki Minaj. I love reading all of your comments. I absolutely love you. And we will be back on Monday. Okay, we'll be back on Monday and studio with a full show with a whole host of hot topics. So drop comments, say what you're interested in, say what stories you're covering. Are there stories that you want me to cover that I'm not covering? And so I look on social media, I look on YouTube, but I absolutely love you guys. Have an amazing weekend and I will see you on the next one. Bye.
