There's a difference between liking a house and actually getting it. Redfin is built to close that gap. Redfin agents close twice as many deals as other agents. So when you find a home you love, you're not a step behind when it's time to make an offer. That means less watching great homes disappear and more zeroing in on the one you'll actually end up calling home. Redfin helps turn saved listings into real addresses. Get started@redfin.com own the dream all new drinks are now at McDonald's, like the Strawberry Watermelon Refresher and the Sprite Berry Blast topped with cold foam. Who knew ice cold drinks could be so fire? Try them all now at McDonald's. Refreshers contain caffeine. Hey, everyone. Happy Monday. Welcome back to Spot on with Link. Lauren. We have so much to discuss. Okay, we have many hot topics. We have to break down the rest of Meghan Markle's calamitous trip to Australia with Prince Harry, the Fake Royal Tour. She's also using her children's titles to sell new candles. I hope these candles have wicks, because mine did not. We also have to talk about some things going on in California. Gavin Newsom is spending tax dollars on sex change operations for homeless people. So instead of actually putting that money to good use in California, you're going to pay for a hobo to get new tits. Sorry if my mom's Bible study is watching, but that is the God's honest truth. So we have a whole host of topics we also have to talk about. Lauren Sanchez, Jeff Bezos, and the Met Gala coming up. People are protesting the Met Gala? Oh, no. They're protesting the Met Gala. You guys, I think there are probably bigger things going on in life that you could be protesting right now. But I also have to tell you this weekend. I had a good weekend, okay? I went hiking yesterday. And by hiking, I went for an hour walk along this river or this levy, whatever it's called, and I got a little bit of sunlight. Do I look tan? Don't answer that. Don't answer that. I also have to tell you guys, they are doing construction outside my house right now. They are redoing the entire road. And as someone who does not like to be inconvenienced, especially by loud drilling noises early in the morning, I'm not happy, okay? I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. But this could be going on for a while. So if you hear some construction noises, I hope you don't. But if you do, you understand what it is. Now, some of the men doing the construction, they seem handsome. They look fit. They look nice. I might have to go out this afternoon with, you know, some fresh lemonade, ice cubes, little low cut top. I have to go introduce myself to the construction workers because if we're going to be cohabitating for a while, we need to get to know each other. I'm the welcome wagon. I'm the neighborhood welcome wagon. So I might have to take some muffins and a little basket like Red Riding Hood, maybe some lemonade and, and get to know everyone. And my hope is that they speak English. Hola. So anyway, without further ado, we gotta pay some bills really quickly. We have a 60 second ad and then we're right back.

I've been calling Meghan Markle Megan the Duchess of Scamalot for years, but she has an entirely new scam. I'm going to start calling her Megan Kardashian Markle because this is absolutely ridiculous. So this went viral over the weekend. Of course, it started out in People magazine. Megan Markle and Prince Harry because he's not off the hook either. They are using their children's titles to sell new candles. Okay, so now they are grifting and merching their children's candidates titles with these new candles that are about $60. So let me read you about this. So she's launching a Mother's Day collection under her brand, as ever, featuring these candles inspired by her kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The collection centers on two $64 candles tied to each child's identities, birth dates, names, and even subtle nods like Archie's red hair. Plus higher priced bundles with extras like matchboxes and chocolate collaborations. Now, I have this to say, okay? I hope the candles have wicks, because as you guys remember, a few months ago, when I bought this candle with my own money and opened it, there was absolutely no wick, which is kind of a metaphor for Meghan Markle's career, right? There's nothing on the inside. Nothing's lighting, nothing's igniting. She's hollow. She's a hollow, empty vessel. So anyway, they're selling these candles and I've just never seen anything like this. And we have to have a real conversation at this point. Strip the titles, okay? They should not be able to dine out on their titles. The kids aren't even old enough to consent to selling merchandise, to selling merchandise with their name and likeness and the inspiration. But they're only doing this, in my opinion, to really piss off the royals, right? They want to piss off King Charles, they want to piss off Catherine, the Princess of Wales, Prince William. That's what they want to do. And this is all Meghan Markle is. Meghan Markle. Her entire career, she's wanted to be a food blogger, an influencer, and this is what influencers do, okay? There is nothing offload limits, okay? There's no depth they won't stoop to. It's like she's playing limbo. How low can you go? Meghan Markle. She's going lower. She's going lower. Can she go even lower? Meghan Markle can. But a lot of us saw this coming, and I've said it since probably the first episode of this podcast. Meghan Markle. As she becomes more desperate, as the press and the public get increasingly disinterested in what she has going on, of course she's going to use her children's names and titles. That's all she has left. And it's kind of like the Kardashians, right? So Meghan Markle, we know she's been hanging around Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner and crashing their birthday parties. We actually have a picture we'll put up on the screen. You could see them there. So she's been studying the Kardashians for years and years, and what have they done right as soon as Chloe, Kim, Courtney and whoever else became, you know, tired old trollops, the mom, Kris Jenner, moved on to Kendall and Kylie, the younger generation, because as we all know, okay, the devil works hard, but Kris Jenner works harder. So she moved on to the next generation. Now you see Kim Kardashian's child Northwest performing with the father, putting music out. I'm sure they're going to continue to use the next generation to make a quick buck. Okay? There's nothing off limits. What's also very Kardashian esque about Meghan Markle is that she's basically letting it all hang out. There's no privacy anymore. There are no boundaries anymore. I mean, the Kardashians, they've documented themselves giving birth. They've given birth on camera, gone through deliveries. Bruce had a sex change on camera. Could have gotten it for free. Living in California, apparently, because Gavin Newsom, that's what he's spending your tax dollars on. But basically nothing is off limits anymore for Meghan Markle. But when I saw this candle situation, what also confounded me, and I have this here in my notes. The kids have barely been to the uk. I think maybe Lily Bet has been to the UK one time. Archie barely remembers living in London. So it's interesting to use their royal titles when the kids probably don't even know that they're royalty. Because the kids, they're sequestered away in Montecito at the compound. They live at this compound with Doria, Megan's mom, and probably some nannies and housekeepers and some help. And the kids, I guess now they're going to use those titles that it's convenient. But let me see if we have anything else we need to get to. So the kids are barely royal. They're using their titles. Oh, the last thing I want to have to say, I want to say I'm concerned about Harry and Megan's finances, right? This behavior, to me, it's broke behavior. Okay? This is very broke, desperate behavior, in my opinion. And to keep up their lifestyle with the mansion, the travel, the security, especially now that Netflix has dropped them and paying taxes and California taxes on top of all of that. I don't think Harry and Megan have that much dough. I think they're struggling. You don't do these type of low down, dirty things using your kids titles to sell candles before the kids are even. What, in first grade? How old are the kids? You're using their royal titles to sell candles. And you left the family six years ago. Megan was in the family for 18 months. To me. To me, their finances aren't in order. Right. I think we need a full audit. I think they're struggling here. Okay? They might need to downsize. Sell the mansion in Montecito and get something a little. A little more modest, you know what I'm saying? Because this is not the behavior of people who are financially secure and also emotionally secure and stable. To even do something like this and use your children in this way is so gross to me. And the only other comparison I really have are the Kardashians. That's it. But to use your children in this way, I think is gross. Now, to finish up, we need to give you guys a little recap on the end of their Australia trip. So obviously the Australia trip was this fake royal tour. So they go down there to Australia, which they haven't been to since 2018, when they were real members of the royal family. And they do some different events, they do some charities. Megan goes to speak at the summit. But what became clear from all the videos, there are no crowds. They put up these barricades, right? They put up barricades, and then there are absolutely no crowds waiting for them. It's like they expected to have gazillions of people. Like when Catherine and William go to Australia and go to Sydney and go to the Opera House, like we're seeing in the video, nobody's there. Absolutely nobody cares that Harry and Megan are there. And on the last episode of our podcast, we played you guys a clip from a local news station where they interviewed probably 20 people out on the street, 30 people. Nobody knew they were coming or nobody was interested because people are going to work. They have their daily lives. No one wants to see a washed up ex duchess traips around the streets of Australia pretending she's still royalty, Pretending she's still royalty. And allegedly she's also selling the outfits that she wore on the trip, which goes to my earlier comment. I think their finances are in trouble because apparently she's making a cut of the outfit she wore. You know, you can buy her top or you can buy her pants. And she's partnered with some type of application. It's all very low down and dirty. And I can't help but think about the Queen, may she rest in peace. In a way, as much as I miss the Queen, it's good she's not here to see any of this because she would be absolutely appalled and disgusted by the grifting behavior. Now I want to play you guys. We have this clip we'll put up on the screen where they're at Bondi beach walking. And this woman does not want to get up. She's laying out, she's tanning, she's sunning. We have the video for you guys, okay? When the Duke and Duchess, Harry and Meghan walk over you, but you won't stop your beach day. So you can see this woman. She's not bothered, okay? This person is not bothered. She doesn't care that Harry and Meghan are there. She wants to get her vitamin D. She wants to get her sunshine. She's just annoyed and frustrated that there are crowds. That would be me, okay? If I have one day off to go to the beach and get some sun, which I can only do in moderation because I'm white as cast for the ghost, okay? I'm like that boy from the movie Powder. So I would be out on that beach enjoying myself, luxuriating, having a virgin pina colada, because y' all know I'm a teetotaler. If Harry and Megan came with some big ass crowd and all their security and paparazzi, they probably called for themselves. I would be very frustrated. I would be annoyed, okay? Going to the beach, especially if you have a day off, is something sacred and nice. But Megan and Harry, they apparently met with survivors of the Bondi beach shooting, which I do give them some kudos for. But it just felt opportunistic because apparently Meghan Markle was selling that outfit as well. So when you're merging and selling an outfit and you're meeting survivors, like I've said before, there's no depth Megan won't go to anymore. It's almost some type of emotional imbalance, some type of mental illness, because any other person living in reality, any other member of the royal family, would never do this type of thing. The only other person I've seen really do something like this is Fergie, the Duchess of York. You know, years ago, Fergie was caught on camera allegedly selling a little bit of access, and we forgave her. But, you know, Fergie may have done some shenanigans because she was in a tight spot financially years ago. This takes it to a whole new level. This is an entirely new level we have never seen before. But basically, they're back from Australia now. I want to play you one more clip. So we found this clip. Some folks are saying that Meghan Markle was only at her women's retreat for half an hour. Now, people paid thousands of dollars, I think, in US dollars, it was 3, 200 bucks. People paid to go listen to Meghan Markle speak. And we want to play you this news clip. Take a listen. This morning on Sunrise, we were here as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex bid farewell to Sydney with a royal wave from Coogee. It marks the end of a whirlwind tour. Four days and just two cities. The main event here at the Intercontinental in Coogee beach for a women's wellness retreat. But Megan was only here for around half an hour. Okay? Some folks are upset that Megan dined in Dash, that she didn't hang around that long, that they didn't get solo pictures. But you were never guaranteed, okay? Through the Her Best Life Retreat, the actual company. You were never guaranteed a solo shot with Megan Markle, okay? You were guaranteed a group picture if you shelled out an arm and a leg and paid. And Meghan Markle, here she is, I guess, with one of the women running the event. Here she is on stage. She's wearing her famous billowy pants, which she could flap her legs and fly away. So she's wearing her billowy pants. She's got the arms out. Her arms look good. I give credit where credit is due. But she stopped by, she spoke and she spoke about, you know, investing in herself and her life story and her journey, apparently. And I'm thinking, when is Meghan Markle gonna do something for other people? You know what I'm saying? Like, when is Meghan Markle gonna realize I'm one of the most privileged women on planet Earth? What does she have to complain about anymore? Right? What does she have to complain about in the crowds? Look at this crowd, you guys. Oh, my God. We'll come back to the picture in a second. Look at that crowd. It looks pretty dire, okay? I have been to birthdays, bar mitzvahs, bat mitzvahs, quinceaneras with 10 times the amount of people, okay? I've been in, like, Ubers with more people than that, okay? I've been. I've shared an U Uber with more people than that, okay? Been stuck in elevators with more people than showed up to the Her Best Life Retreat. But Meghan Markle, in conclusion, I don't want to belabor it. I do wish her well. I hope she gets help. She does seem to be struggling and spiraling. In my opinion, this is not the behavior of a woman who is. Well, right? You're using your kids titles. You're using your kids titles to sell candles, to pay your bills and keep the lights on and fund your celebrity lifestyle in Montecito. And before we go, before I forget, someone posted a picture from the goodie bag at the summit. So at the women's retreat, they had a goodie bag, you know, like a baseball cap and some face masks and things like that. One of the things in the goodie bag that Megan contributed, she contributed her famous flower sprinkles. Now if you remember, I tried the flower sprinkles a few months ago when I tried all of her products that I paid for myself. So imagine paying 3, 200 bucks and all you get from Meghan Markle are these flower sprinkles. But unlike Meghan Markle, we also have to pay our bills, but we're not going to whore ourselves out that much to do it. So we got a quick advertisement, we got about 60 seconds and then we'll be back with a lot more to discuss. Have you gotten caught up in the red light mask craze but you just don't see results? It's because those masks don't work. Because, well, they can't work. Compared to what doctors use, most of those masks are helplessly underpowered. The red light therapy that's actually proven to work is from Lightstem. It's made in the USA and has sold over 60,000 of devices to dermatologists, cosmetic surgeons and estheticians. Guessing your red light mask brand can't say that. Best part is this. You can actually have a light stem at home Now I have the light stem ellipsa and love it. I get the same anti aging technology my doctor uses, but right at home I could see and feel the difference almost immediately. It's FDA proven to reduce wrinkles on the entire face. Medical grade means it works. It stimulates natural collagen and elastin production. It's totally affordable and saves a fortune in doctor visits. If you want the same medical grade technology at home that doctors use to treat wrinkles and slow aging, go to light STEM spelled out Lite S T I M.com use my code link to save 10%.

And that is the Met Gala. So the Met Gala happens every year. It's the first Monday in May. It's put on by Vogue, the Metropolitan Museum, and it's put on by all of these donors to raise money for the Costume Institute. Now, the Met Gala years ago used to be very, very exclusive. Top donors, New York socialites, maybe a few celebrities. Maybe a few celebrities. Now, okay? The Met Gala has become every Kardashian, every Jenner. I even think Caitlyn Jenner made her way onto the red carpet. Right? It's just become something for every influencer, everybody under the sun, it's lost a little bit of that luster. And it seems like maybe they're trying to return it to its once great stature in society. But there are some people protesting the Met Gala right now because they're not happy that Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos are some of the co chairs this year. So apparently Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos are some of the people in charge, working with Anna Wintour and working with Vogue to put on the Met Gala. Now, if I'm Anna Wintour, this is a smart decision because Lauren Sanchez, she loves fashion. They have expendable income. Lauren Sanchez does seem very organized to me. She seems like someone who gets things done right. She's gotten her career from point A to point B. She's apparently a helicopter pilot as well. That needs to be an episode of the show. When am I going up in the helicopter with Lauren Sanchez? Okay, so apparently she flies helicopters. She's very organized. She does a lot of philanthropic work with the Bezos foundation and everything that they're interested in. And so I understand Anna Wintour from a business standpoint, having Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos involved also, they bring attention and they kind of have a good time wherever they go. And people are interested to see what are they going to wear, what are they going to act like, what are they going to do? People love them, people hate them. So it's good. It's good for press, it's good for attention. But in the New York Times, they're talking about how people are really protesting. So anti billionaire activist activists are plastering New York City with Boycott the Bezos Met Gala posters ahead of the event. Now they're targeting Jeff Bezos and his role, of course, as a sponsor and a co chair. Now, the posters accus Amazon of worker exploitation and ties to immigration enforcement ice arguing that he's using the Met Gala to buy cultural influence and polish his image. Now, I understand we have a right to protest in this country. We have the First Amendment. It's one of the things I love about this. But go find. It's one thing I love about this country, but go find something meaningful to protest. Okay? The Met Gala, it's not pretending to be an event for working class Americans, right? It's not pretending to be an event that you and I are ever going to get to step foot in. Right? The Met Gala is an elite, bougie, celebrity socialite event where they traipse up and down a staircase in expensive gowns, okay? It's a let them eat cake kind of event. That's why I sit at home. So I sit at home in my sweatpants and pajamas, judging all the outfits, like Joan Rivers, okay? I'm in no position to judge what people wear to the Met Gala, but I'm gonna do it, okay? I'm an expert on nothing, but I have opinions on everything. So I understand people want to protest, especially New York City people. Got a lot of free time, but go find something worthwhile to protest. You know what I'm saying? You're protesting the Met Gala. The Met Gala has never pretended to be anything other than it is, which is a bunch of rich people getting together to have a good time and cavort and schmooze, and that's what we love about it, okay? I'm not someone who's just going to hate everything. You know what I'm saying? There are podcasters and influencers. They get on camera and they hate everything just to hate and be negative. You know what I'm saying? I can't do that. I can't sit here and act angry about the Met Gala. I can't bring myself to just hate, hate, hate. I might hate some of the outfits, but you know what? With everything going on in the world, geopolitically, domestically, people have health issues. You might be taking care of a sick family member. We all have things going on in our lives. I'm not going to feel guilty for tuning into the Met Gala to see what people are wearing, to see what ridiculous, you know, accoutrement they have on, to see who falls on the carpet, to see the interactions. It's okay to have a little bit of escapism and to look into the candy store and pick a couple of things out. So these protesters, go ahead and protest and do what you want, but I think you're wasting your time protesting the Met Gala because that event is upfront about what it is now. To quote the Wicked Witch of the west from the wizard of Oz, I'm melting. I'm melting. That is what Kris Jenner is apparently saying these days because her facelift has allegedly collapsed. Okay. According to the New York Post, Kris Jenner is allegedly upset that her facelift, after one year that she spent $100,000 on, has already gone back to the way it looked before. It's already come crumbling. Honey, no take backs, okay? Once you drive that car off the lot, it's on you. It's on you, baby. And I can't even tell what the Kardashians really look like because these pictures, okay, these pictures look a little edited to me, and I'm not judging anyone. We all do a little tweak and a little. Okay. When you're in that world, however, these pictures, what do the Kardashians really even look like? Because they all have plastic surgeons, and then they have filters and editing and airbrushing and hair and makeup. But Kris Jenner, she's 70 years old, she's in her 70s, and she's allegedly upset that the facelift results haven't been great. Now, let me read you about this. So this is only one year after going under the knife with facelift maestro Dr. Steven Levine. She feels her facelift is slipping and not holding well in comparison to Denise Richards and Lori Laughlin, who also got lifts. Okay? No take backs. If you go under the knife, that is something that is irreversible. Nine times out of 10, it's pretty hard to come back from that. I think Kris Jenner looks great, but this speaks to a more systemic issue, which is can't you just age gracefully? Kris Jenner is someone. Right? Of course. It's her prerogative. I don't judge anyone for getting plastic surgery, right? Do what you want to do if you have the money. But Kris Jenner, she has her health, she has wealth, her kids are successful. She has every blessing you could want in life, knock on wood. And she's still chasing having a perfect face and neck and perfect look. At what point do women just get to say, I'm gonna let go and enjoy my life and my riches and my bounty? At what point can a woman just say, I'm in my 70s. I want to just relax and not have plastic surgery and not constantly be in a state of healing and not worrying about this and that and tweaking all this. Let go and enjoy, right? And if your version of letting go and enjoying is having some work done, okay, more power to you. But a lot of people, they get work done, and they're not that much happier, right? So you can get the work done, but you also got to figure out what's broken inside of you to where you're in your 70s and you're still chasing and trying to keep up with the Joneses, you know what I'm saying? What point can you just say uncle and go lay out on a beach somewhere and sip a virgin daiquiri like I would be doing right now? You know what I'm saying? At what point Kris Jenner, can you just throw in the towel a little bit? But she's in that Hollywood world now. As I look at this story, I feel like I chose the wrong career path. I'm gonna be honest, while I'm looking at those pictures, I feel like I've chosen the wrong career path because being the Kardashians plastic surgeon is probably one of the most lucrative jobs on planet Earth, right? You have customers for life, okay? You have all the Kardashians, all of the Jenners coming in, bada bing, bada boom, bada slice, and Dyson working. You have customers out the ass, out the wazoo, right? You always have customers. If you're the Kardashians plastic surgery, I mean, they probably have them on speed dial, you know what I'm saying? Like, they probably have surgeon, speed dial, dentist, speed dial. So the Kardashians, that's what they have going on. So I also think you have the next generation, right? You're going to have the new kids coming up. They're going to want plastic surgery, and they're going to want to get nipped and tucked and flipped and from here on out. So it's interesting, Kris Jenner, I think this speaks more to the culture we're living in where this woman. I mean, people would kill to have the health and the wealth that she has. I think health is wealth, right? I know people have for age who are dealing with ailments and issues. She has so many blessings in her life. Homes and money and cars and everything in between. And she's still chasing. She's still chasing this perfect look. And the last thing I'll say is this. It's almost like she's trying to keep up with her children. Like she's trying to Keep up with the daughter. She wants to be Kim. She wants to be Kendall, she wants to be Kylie. And the daughters, some of them look great. I do think some of the Kardashian kids look a little too old for their age. Because when you start having filler and Botox and all these things at 16, 17, 18, 19, I feel it personally ages you. I think anytime you go under the knife, you lose a little bit of that youthfulness. If you're in your 20s and your 30s, right, you're way too young to be having tons of work done. And so I don't think the Kardashian kids look all that youthful to begin with. Kim Kardashian, she's stunning. She's like superhuman. But she invests in herself. Her entire job is to upkeep the way she looks. So I don't know. I want to hear from you guys, drop some comments. What do you make of women in their 70s getting plastic surgery? If you want to do it, great. But I feel like you should be whole and secure in yourself on the inside before going under the knife. Because if you expect going under the knife to fix all of your problems and make you feel better and make you feel more secure, once you heal, those internal scars are still going to be there. And I know we're getting very Oprah, very Dr. Phil, very Sally Jesse Raphael right now. But it's the truth, right? It's the truth. I see this with people all the time. Michael Jackson. I think Michael Jackson was hurting. I think Michael Jackson was hurting. He had trauma. He had way bigger issues going on inside, in my opinion. And he just kept tweaking and tweaking. And the nose got smaller and smaller, and the eyes got different, and the cheeks and the chin changed many times, in my opinion. And so I think there was something deeper on the inside. And so I'm all for the Kardashians, plastic surgery, surgery, making money. I'm sure the Kardashians are putting his kids and grandkids through private school and Ivy League universities, but we have to have a conversation in a culture about, when do you get to say enough? And I'm going to enjoy myself and I'm going to have some wrinkles and lines and, you know, turkey neck. Who gives a shit? Pardon my French. Excuse my language. You guys know I never curse, but who cares, right? When do we get to let go? But right now, we got to pay some bills really quickly. We got to pay some quick bills, and then we'll be back to talk about California and some political topics this spring.

Number one, there was a study over the weekend that went completely viral all about anchor babies here in the United States of America. And I think this is a big issue. It doesn't make you xenophobic, racist, close minded. Doesn't mean you have a cold heart that you don't want a gazillion anchor babies flooding into the country. But let me read you these stats. Okay, so according to Pew research data, nearly 10% of US births in 2023 were to undocumented mothers. So that's about 320,000 babies. Another 15,000 were born to mothers who had temporary legal status, and the fathers were not lawful residents or citizens. The remaining 60,000 were to fathers who were citizens or had permanent residency. But the mothers were illegal aliens. Now, here's the kicker. These anchor babies will not qualify for birthright citizenship under President Trump's executive order if the Supreme Court upholds it. Listen, no other developed nation on earth would allow this, okay? You're allowing people to use their babies, that's why they're called anchor babies, to come to the country and take and take and take. And if you can't go through the process, right? If you don't have the energy or the time to go through the process like our forefathers and like those who came before you, then you shouldn't be here. And it doesn't make me a jerk, okay? I respect people who came through the process. And when you look at some of these studies, one of the top groups for people who want secure immigration, they want immigration laws and reforms, those are Hispanic Americans, right? People who went through the process, who came from Mexico, who came from South America, who filled out the forms, who waited, who made it into the country, right? And did it by the law and did it the right way, right? Who did the visa, who did the green card, who got employment, right? It's not easy. The American dream is not supposed to be easy. But the people who went through the process, they're frustrated. They're frustrated with the hundreds of thousands of anchor babies. Hundreds of thousands in one year. One year. Imagine if we went back to 22, 21, 20, 20, how many people Joe Biden let into the country. And so it doesn't make us cold hearted, it doesn't make us small binded. However, we are already running a deficit in this country of almost $40 trillion, right? Our resources are strapped, right? Our public resources and services are strapped. Americans are waiting in lines at food banks, okay? And if you go down to some of these border towns like I have in Arizona and Texas, these food banks now are overrun by illegals, okay? People who've never paid taxes and haven't contributed anything to the country yet. So they come here, they bring the anchor babies, they have their script, they have their way of doing things. They're trained on how to get into America. And then they take resources, food, diapers and opportunities from people here who are already struggling economically. And so that's what ticks me off. Because America, we're supposed to just Let everyone in and sing Kumbaya. But there's no other developed nation that would allow this. So I'm interested to hear what you guys think about the whole anchor baby situation. That has only gotten worse, right? Anytime there's a Democrat in office, it gets much worse. Now we have to talk about California, one of my favorite states. Okay. A beautiful state. Let's talk about all of my friends who live in California. I know great conservatives, Republicans, independent, some just old school liberals who live in California who want common sense. But California has gone cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs under Gavin Newsom's leadership. One thing Gavin Newsom is doing, he's spending California tax dollars on sex changes for homeless people and inmates. Okay, did you get that? If you're paying taxes in California and you wonder why your fire hydrants don't have water in them, okay. During all of these wildfires, guess what? Your tax dollars are paying for a homeless woman to get new boobs. Okay. To get sex change operations. This is some insane, insane, SNL level comedy stuff. Okay? This is like something we would have seen on Comedy Central 20 years ago. It's become reality. So let me read you. Illegal aliens are getting taxpayer funded sex change and boob jobs in California. Fox News reports roughly 1.7 million illegals receive full scope coverage in California's Medicaid program, which in instances includes gender affirming care. Now, Gavin Newsom, he expanded the state's Medicaid program, known as Medi Cal, to all immigrants regardless of legal status in January of 2024. Now, according to City Journal, there's a whistleblower who claims illegal aliens are being housed in San Francisco homeless shelters and obtaining covered sex changes. And we actually have a clip that this whistleblower and reporter got. Take a look. What is your name again? Jacqueline. Jacqueline. This is the first time I am. I live in shelter. Yeah, A lot of Latino here, so definitely some are migrants or undocumented. And me as a trans woman, Yeah, I don't. I feel safe. Were you able to get the hormones or, you know. Yeah, I did that with my doctor, so. So medical. You got the breast implants? Yes. Wow. Taxpayer funded. So here in California, they give you the. The breast implant here? Yes. Free. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Congratulations. Do you feel like that's a good benefit for other migrants here in California? Yeah. Even though you don't. You're undocumented, you can get it. Did you do bottom, too? Bottom surgery. Wow. You're waiting for bottom surgery. Okay. Are you happy with the results? Yes, of course. This Person is happy with the results because they didn't have to pay for anything. Okay? Okay. You might not be a legal citizen, you might not have a home, you might not have a pot to piss in, but Gavin Newsom want. Sure. If you need a new set of cheat sheets, okay, you can get them. And you hear this person, they're waiting to have more surgery, okay? What about the folks who are paying gazillions of dollars of medical bills and they have cancer. They have major issues, right? Even I have health insurance, okay? I'm always fighting with my health insurance. It's expensive. You go to one doctor's appointment, you can barely get in to have your general checkup, and then you're slapped with a bill, and then they send you a bunch of. A bunch of things they won't cover, things that they will cover. Then you're working the phones. It's a pain in the D year, okay? So when I see illegals, illegal homeless people walking around with double Ds, boom, boom, boom. That California taxpayers paid for and they feel entitled to it, they're like, yeah, this is what we get in California. This is why Gavin Newsom should never be president. This is why Gavin Newsom and Jennifer Newsom should not be anywhere near a seat of power in the White House, okay? Because if you think that you should be spending tax dollars when you're already running a major deficit it on sex changes for illegals, then that is an issue in judgment. That is someone with piss poor judgment. But this is the future Gavin Newsom and Jennifer Newsom want, okay? They want a genderless society. They want little boys playing with female dolls. They want to eradicate anything that is deemed masculine or strong in modern society, in the zeitgeist, in our culture. And they want to spend your money giving illegals sex changes, okay? So I think I belabored the point enough. This is who Gavin Newsom is. So Gavin Newsom, he can try to tell you he's this normal guy. He's just like you. He has struggles. He's normal. He's just a normal guy from around the way. There's nothing normal about this, right? California has a major, major issues. My friends in California text me every single day, talk about this, talk about that. It's why people like Spencer Pratt are climbing the ranks in California. Because people want change. People like Steve Hilton and others are really gaining steam because people don't want the status quo, okay? They're done with the swampy, disgusting behavior. You're running a deficit. You're building bridges to nowhere. The fire hydrants don't have water, and you're giving sex changes to illegals. Illegals. That's what you're spending your money on. So good for you, Gavin Newsom.
