00:02:46.000 Welcome to the lineup live here, Honorable 9 a.m. Eastern to 7 p.m. Eastern Eat Show rolls in the next.
00:02:54.000 And by the way, it's supported by you and your Rumble Premium memberships.
00:02:56.000 This is the best one-stop shop.
00:02:58.000 Welcome, Vince viewers.
00:02:59.000 We appreciate it.
00:03:00.000 Have a lot to get to today.
00:03:02.000 All right, it's a medium amount to get to.
00:03:06.000 Noted Christian sodomite Don Lemon. 0.99
00:03:08.000 We're going to talk about him a little bit more.
00:03:09.000 Our charges coming.
00:03:11.000 The betting odds say absolutely.
00:03:13.000 So that's fun.
00:03:15.000 We're also going to be talking about, hey, you know, Greenland, everyone's discussing this right now.
00:03:18.000 Are you aware of the history of Greenland today?
00:03:21.000 Are you aware of the history of the Vikings?
00:03:24.000 I don't know if you know this.
00:03:26.000 Not a particularly friendly brood, the Vikings. 1.00
00:03:29.000 So the point is this: someone has and will be colonizing Greenland because it's 50,000 Eskimos. 0.99
00:03:37.000 What are they going to do?
00:03:39.000 Why not the United States?
00:03:41.000 Considering that we're going to be footing the bill for the defense.
00:03:44.000 We're actually going to walk you through the history of Greenland a little bit and why this not really is 8D chess, but it's just a case as to, you know, it's ours now.
00:03:54.000 Ben Shapiro, you know, he's been on the show.
00:03:57.000 He's welcome to come on the show.
00:03:59.000 He just was on Gavin Newsom's podcast and made some claims regarding housing prices that I strongly disagree with.
00:04:08.000 And I will make the case.
00:04:09.000 So my question to you is, why is Ben wrong?
00:04:13.000 On with the show.
00:04:20.000 No, I'm glad you called.
00:04:21.000 This is nice.
00:04:24.000 Yeah, I am too.
00:04:25.000 I really miss this.
00:04:29.000 Hey, Dad.
00:04:31.000 Remember when you scored all those touchdowns in the state championship game?
00:04:36.000 Yeah.
00:04:37.000 I love it, man.
00:04:38.000 I was really proud of you then.
00:04:41.000 Love you, son.
00:04:42.000 Love you too.
00:04:45.000 But that's not how the reunion really went down.
00:04:48.000 You see, Timmy never played in that state championship.
00:04:52.000 He never even made the team.
00:04:54.000 You see, his parents suffered from crippling debt and skyrocketing inflation, and they were never able to buy that nice new house on the east side.
00:05:01.000 Their debt led to marital stress, culminating in a messy divorce, leaving Timmy to raise himself while mom was working three jobs.
00:05:08.000 Let's see how the reunion actually went down.
00:05:15.000 Give me your phone and your wallet, old man. 0.95
00:05:17.000 I don't have anything on me.
00:05:18.000 Hurry up.
00:05:20.000 Timmy?
00:05:21.000 Is that you?
00:05:23.000 Dad?
00:05:24.000 Tim, I've missed you so much.
00:05:25.000 It's been 15 years.
00:05:28.000 I've missed you too.
00:05:30.000 Now give me your fing money.

00:05:37.000 Call American Finance.

00:06:31.000 Glad to be with you, though it's It's no surprise because it's 11 a.m. on a weekday.
00:06:36.000 Set your schedule.
00:06:38.000 Back in the day, we used to actually have scheduled viewing.
00:06:41.000 Now people just, they just doom scroll and consume everything.
00:06:43.000 So we're here.
00:06:44.000 11 a.m. weekdays, rise.
00:06:46.000 Wait, no, not rise or shine.
00:06:48.000 Come hell or high water.
00:06:50.000 I don't know.
00:06:51.000 There's going to be a lot of Sam Elliott in the show.
00:06:53.000 It's rise and shine.
00:06:54.000 It's not rise or shine.
00:06:55.000 No, I know.
00:06:56.000 It's rise and shine.
00:06:56.000 It's a totally separate expression.
00:06:58.000 Yeah.
00:06:58.000 And this started off poorly.
00:07:01.000 I blame Applejack because there's a sickness going around.
00:07:04.000 Yeah, he's got this weird vibe in here right now.
00:07:06.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:07:07.000 Like he has to notify everyone who's his new neighbor or he can't live within 50 yards of a grade school.
00:07:13.000 Yeah, did he tell you about that?
00:07:14.000 No, it's just a vibe.
00:07:15.000 Oh, okay.
00:07:15.000 It's just a vibe.
00:07:16.000 But we love him anyway.
00:07:19.000 Thanks.
00:07:21.000 So, and Captain Morgan's not here either.
00:07:24.000 So we wish noodles with speedy recovery.
00:07:26.000 Captain Morgan, CEO, had a different scheduled whatever.
00:07:32.000 Lane.
00:07:33.000 I just got thrown off by Rise and Shine.
00:07:35.000 I know it's because we were talking about cool runnings.
00:07:37.000 It was Rise and Shine.
00:07:37.000 It's butt kicking time.
00:07:38.000 And then it just got in my brain.
00:07:40.000 Lane the Brain is here.
00:07:42.000 How are you doing, sir?
00:07:43.000 Have some real estate viewings in Greenland lately.
00:07:43.000 Good.
00:07:43.000 Good.
00:07:45.000 Very nice.
00:07:46.000 So big things on the horizon.
00:07:48.000 Yeah, well, I hear the fishing is fantastic because you can just kill whatever you want.
00:07:52.000 Perfect.
00:07:53.000 And that's because we allow special set-asides for Them Eskimos. 0.99
00:07:53.000 Yeah. 0.99
00:07:59.000 Saturday, February 14th, he's going to be at the Irvé Theater in Dallas, Texas, not underscore Feierstein.
00:08:05.000 And he's here because, well, you know, I was popped out from his loins.
00:08:11.000 Pop Scrowder, how are you, sir?
00:08:13.000 He's here because Gerald is not.
00:08:13.000 Good.
00:08:14.000 That's right. 0.82
00:08:15.000 We figure we need a creepier old guy. 0.62
00:08:15.000 That's right. 0.62
00:08:18.000 And you also, by the way, there's a promo going on right now, the site that you've created, spearheaded shoutout, shoutout.us.
00:08:23.000 If you use the promo code.
00:08:24.000 Promo code shout for 20% off.
00:08:26.000 It's kind of like a cameo, only not communist.
00:08:26.000 Yeah.
00:08:29.000 Is that the elevator pitch?
00:08:31.000 That's a very short elevator, one-floor elevator pitch.
00:08:34.000 Well, you're not throwing your line in when those communists are.
00:08:34.000 Yes.
00:08:38.000 Pinkos.
00:08:39.000 All right.
00:08:40.000 Hey, remember that cookie sheet lady yesterday? 1.00
00:08:42.000 Oh, yeah.
00:08:43.000 Remember, she was wearing that?
00:08:44.000 Yeah, the fun oven mitt lady with a mask. 1.00
00:08:46.000 It was a broiler.
00:08:47.000 She screamed bangerang and she was rolled down a ship deck.
00:08:47.000 Yeah.
00:08:51.000 Yes.
00:08:53.000 Well, the good news is, you know, we thought, hey, you know what?
00:08:56.000 This is a little bit, it's a little bit uniform as far as the color with these protesters, namely white ladies. 1.00
00:09:02.000 And so here's more of that.
00:09:03.000 Here's another white savior from Minneapolis.
00:09:07.000 It gets worse.
00:09:08.000 Federal officials say the government is doing its job, enforcing the law, protecting the whistles.
00:09:17.000 This one's really cool, and it has pink and blue!
00:09:26.000 Her Carhartt overalls that she's never worked in.
00:09:41.000 Cafe has multiple purposes.
00:09:42.000 Yes.
00:09:43.000 Yeah. 1.00
00:09:43.000 Ice, ice, ice, ice, fuck ice. 1.00
00:09:46.000 We ain't gonna play it nice. 1.00
00:09:48.000 Are you wanna suck in daddy's pack? 1.00
00:09:51.000 Well, precisely nothing. 1.00
00:09:52.000 Not make friends.
00:09:54.000 And she kills the energy here. 0.99
00:09:56.000 Yeah, what is get the gear and get outside?
00:10:00.000 Get the moisturizer.
00:10:02.000 Get the Oshkosh bagosh. 0.97
00:10:05.000 My cat clean his crotch. 0.93
00:10:09.000 So before we get to any, look, every single style choice included there is impractical and will give her worse odds of surviving.
00:10:19.000 So flat bottom sneakers with likely no tread.
00:10:21.000 That's horrible on us.
00:10:22.000 She's not even wearing the appropriate boots.
00:10:24.000 You think about SWAT teams, you think about sort of more modern, specialized gear with maybe some stretch.
00:10:30.000 She's wearing overalls, which, by the way, guarantees that she will be less mobile because it's a one-piece and it's incredibly stiff.
00:10:38.000 Then she decides she's going to wear a shoulder strap, which, you know, if you have a shoulder strap bag, the benefit there would be you can carry more gear, but instead decides to go with one the size of a fanny pack, which is actually usually that size because of its limitations.
00:10:51.000 So she's getting the worst of all worlds.
00:10:53.000 And then, of course, the Kefea or Poncho, whatever it is, it has tassels that are highly flammable, so they can just kind of catch the edge of it as they light her ablaze.
00:11:02.000 Her hair not tied up, the goggles and mask too loose.
00:11:05.000 This lady's probably going to die. 1.00
00:11:09.000 She brought whistles and a gas mask. 0.69
00:11:10.000 How are you going to use both?
00:11:12.000 I don't know.
00:11:13.000 Yeah, I don't know how that works.
00:11:14.000 Is there a whistle hole?
00:11:16.000 No, there's not.
00:11:18.000 Whistles, gas mask, and tassels.
00:11:21.000 Yeah, so you can pull on them.
00:11:22.000 She's yanked her down.
00:11:23.000 She's prepared for war. 0.69
00:11:25.000 Yeah.
00:11:26.000 It's all about the look, though.
00:11:28.000 It's the perception.
00:11:29.000 It's like a fake martial arts.
00:11:31.000 She got the camera all lined up and she's going to war. 1.00
00:11:33.000 Yeah.
00:11:34.000 Join me.
00:11:35.000 Not to mention the fact that she's about 130 pounds, so she will be intimidating nobody and she'll be simply, she'll just be, she'll be slapped aside. 1.00
00:11:35.000 And I look great. 1.00
00:11:42.000 Let's be honest if someone really chooses to.
00:11:45.000 It turns out, though, this is actually just prep for her commercial.
00:11:57.000 For the freedom fighter in all of us, Home Depot, where doers get more done.
00:12:07.000 Excellent.
00:12:10.000 It looks like the Netflix version of a breaking bad remake.
00:12:13.000 Yes, it does.
00:12:14.000 Just some people get pushed over.
00:12:14.000 Yeah.
00:12:15.000 That was an explosion.
00:12:16.000 Yes, it was.
00:12:17.000 Blown off the line, like pancaking.
00:12:19.000 I know, but enough about the celebratory goings-on.
00:12:24.000 Guys, most of the...
00:12:24.000 She's got to be...
00:12:25.000 This lady has no friends, right? 1.00
00:12:27.000 No. 0.98
00:12:28.000 Well, she's gonna die alone.
00:12:29.000 And she seems like she has no, like, she's like, go outside, get the gear, go outside.
00:12:33.000 Like, you're talking to strangers because you don't have any friends.
00:12:36.000 Well, the good news is that means she's single.
00:12:40.000 Here we are at my official dating profile request.
00:12:43.000 I am 42.
00:12:45.000 Actually, I'm almost 42.
00:12:47.000 I am a relationship anarchist. 0.99
00:12:49.000 I am on the lookout for somebody who right now, will I be able to call and say, hey, get in the passenger seat and let's go fuck some shit up. 0.99
00:12:59.000 Because right now, in Minneapolis, what is happening are we are being occupied by ICE agents who are, of course, I couldn't do that. 1.00
00:13:08.000 She hates her father.
00:13:09.000 Who are going door to door?
00:13:11.000 It's because I'm doing it.
00:13:12.000 She doesn't have a father.
00:13:13.000 Going door to door and kidnapping people from their homes.
00:13:16.000 Then you should stay in your home.
00:13:18.000 And wait for them.
00:13:19.000 They are going to schools.
00:13:22.000 Untrue.
00:13:24.000 They are going to churches.
00:13:26.000 Nope.
00:13:26.000 No, that's you.
00:13:27.000 She should be.
00:13:28.000 They are going to Target, which I'm not going to lie.
00:13:30.000 No, you are one.
00:13:30.000 I'm not sure.
00:13:32.000 We all know Target.
00:13:33.000 Right. 0.98
00:13:34.000 So, if that's you, if you're interested in some shit up, if you're not afraid of a woman who can speak her mind, sitting in a side seat, message me. 0.99
00:13:46.000 Hard no. 1.00
00:13:48.000 Yeah, if you're a cuck who likes old brads, give me a call. 1.00
00:13:53.000 We'll have sex once every six months. 1.00
00:13:56.000 Can we be really clear? 0.77
00:13:57.000 No man is afraid of a woman who speaks her mind.
00:14:01.000 Just to be clear, this is a whole thing where I'm like, well, you know what?
00:14:03.000 Yeah, it didn't work.
00:14:04.000 Why didn't it work out?
00:14:05.000 It didn't work out because I spoke my mind. 0.93
00:14:08.000 No, it didn't work out because you were insufferable. 0.99
00:14:11.000 Because you're delusional. 0.99
00:14:12.000 How do I know you're delusional?
00:14:14.000 Because you think you're going to take on ICE by wearing American gothic gear with both a whistle and gas mask.
00:14:23.000 Has nothing to do with the fact that you have opinions no one cares about. 1.00
00:14:27.000 You're useless. 0.98
00:14:28.000 It's everything to do with the fact that you're preparing for some kind of war that you that doesn't exist. 0.98
00:14:36.000 Just try and explain to anyone throughout all of human history that this white woman in 2026 feels as though she's somehow persecuted or standing up for people who are persecuted who in no way are represented by her.
00:14:52.000 This is what happens when you have a society that has it so good in a particular subset of people, white suburban women in the United States in 2026. 1.00
00:15:05.000 I don't think there's ever been, you guys comment, has there ever been a more privileged group that has felt more aggrieved to use a term, which I probably am using improperly because today I can't find my words.
00:15:18.000 You know what her euphoria is?
00:15:20.000 A brown or black person telling her thank you.
00:15:22.000 Yes.
00:15:23.000 That's euphoria for her.
00:15:23.000 Yeah.
00:15:25.000 Oh.
00:15:25.000 Yeah.
00:15:26.000 Yes.
00:15:27.000 I deserve that.
00:15:28.000 Yeah.
00:15:30.000 You're welcome.
00:15:31.000 I live to improve the lives of the less fortunate.
00:15:34.000 Yes.
00:15:35.000 Because you're not white like me. 0.82
00:15:36.000 I don't do it for the praise, but I know what would you do without me?
00:15:40.000 The answer is nothing.
00:15:41.000 So I just, but I do it because it's the right thing to do in my overalls and rape whistle and gas mask.
00:15:47.000 Which, let's be honest, if that's a rape whistle, you're a little ambitious, aren't you, sweetheart? 1.00
00:15:52.000 Well, it's just two. 0.95
00:15:54.000 One is a rape whistle, one is an ice whistle. 0.95
00:15:57.000 Speaking of rape, Don Lemon.
00:16:00.000 So there's been some, but it's, you know what I mean. 0.97
00:16:05.000 I just mean that it's a very, it's a very degenerate group of people.
00:16:08.000 And what do I mean by group of people? 0.99
00:16:10.000 Homosexuals. 0.99
00:16:13.000 I thought you say orgy as well. 1.00
00:16:16.000 It's very common in this community.
00:16:18.000 Monogamy doesn't necessarily exist.
00:16:21.000 There's a reason that the Prep Pill commercials entirely include gay men who very much look like Don Lemon, but he's going to tell you how to be a good Christian. 0.98
00:16:31.000 So, you know, you have people like Thomas Aquinas, you have Martin Luther, and now you can include in their ranks noted Christian theologian sodomite Don Lemon.
00:16:51.000 So just to set the stage, it looks like Don Lamone might actually catch some charges for what he did because it veered away from journalism into not just activism, but into riots, into protests.
00:17:04.000 into violating other people's foundational First Amendment rights to practice their religion, to freely worship.
00:17:10.000 So we'll get into that a little bit.
00:17:12.000 I think he'll probably skate on it, but I'm also glad that he's being made an example of.
00:17:18.000 Before we get to that, for those of you who missed yesterday, Don Lemon has very strong views on what Christianity is and what it isn't as a noted Christian theologian sodomite.
00:17:31.000 Jesus Christ, if you believe in, if that's who you believe in, Jesus Christ, admittedly was not perfect when he was here on this earth.
00:17:39.000 So why are we deifying the founders of this country?
00:17:42.000 Maybe Joseph was, you know, this sort of gay guy who said, this woman, you might pick yourself up off the floor. 0.71
00:17:52.000 Right. 1.00
00:17:52.000 I hate her to die or be stoned to death or whatever because she got pregnant and she's not married. 1.00
00:17:58.000 And then, you know, I am not married and whatever. 0.99
00:18:01.000 So, okay, this is kind of perfect.
00:18:03.000 God is not about hindering people or even judging people.
00:18:06.000 One thing that would really, I believe, change America is if we realize that people, that Jesus probably looked more like Qasum than like any of us here, and that we had to get rid of this sort of white surfer guy and really have a truer depiction of what Jesus is for Christians.
00:18:26.000 And that way, I think it would be kind of country altering, if not world-altering, because you even had that in, you know, if you go to Europe, if you go to Italy, you go to the Vatican or whatever, you know, Jesus is like a surfer-white guy. 0.61
00:18:40.000 So the reason that I'm showing this to you is because remember, Don Lemon yesterday, or he was saying, well, I am a Christian.
00:18:47.000 And so, and then he tries to tell you how to be a Christian.
00:18:49.000 Just remember this.
00:18:50.000 Whenever the left tries to tell you, hey, X is unconstitutional, they're lying to you.
00:18:54.000 They don't care about constitutionality.
00:18:56.000 When they try and tell you, hey, isn't Y un-Christian of you?
00:19:00.000 They're gaslighting you.
00:19:00.000 They're lying to you.
00:19:01.000 They don't care about the foundational principles, values of our faith, of Christianity, because according to Don Lemon, he's a Christian, but Jesus wasn't perfect.
00:19:11.000 There was no Immaculate Conception.
00:19:14.000 God will issue no judgment, and he looks like a methed out terrorist.
00:19:20.000 Did I have that about right? 0.99
00:19:21.000 You forgot that Joseph is gay. 0.97
00:19:24.000 Right. 0.98
00:19:25.000 You got that.
00:19:26.000 Okay.
00:19:26.000 Yes.
00:19:27.000 Yeah.
00:19:28.000 It's pretty important.
00:19:28.000 Joseph.
00:19:29.000 Yeah. 0.97
00:19:30.000 It's a pretty important fact that Jesus was raised by a gay stepfather. 1.00
00:19:33.000 Anyone want to sit in the pew at the church of Don Lemon?
00:19:38.000 Because he's going to let you know that, hey, look, I'm actually a better example of what a Christian is than these people in this church who support deporting illegal aliens.
00:19:46.000 Take it from me, noted Christian theologian sodomite Don Lemon, who thinks that Jesus was imperfect.
00:19:51.000 God issues no judgment. 0.99
00:19:52.000 And Mary was a whore with a beard in Joseph. 1.00
00:19:57.000 Take it from him. 0.98
00:19:58.000 And if that's not enough for you, just yesterday, after he was making the case that he was a Christian and he was doing this right as a sort of thinly veiled defense against breaking the law, he then went on a live stream and did a live ad read for the Freedom from Religion Foundation.
00:20:17.000 This episode of the Don Lemon Show is brought to you by the Freedom from Religion Foundation.
00:20:22.000 Equality under the law only works when the government stays neutral.
00:20:26.000 The First Amendment wasn't written to protect one religion.
00:20:29.000 It was written to protect all of us.
00:20:31.000 And right now, that promise is under threat from Christian nationalists who believe their beliefs should control everyone else's beliefs and everyone else's lives.
00:20:40.000 Can we also just put this to bed?
00:20:41.000 That's not true.
00:20:43.000 This idea, like, well, the founders actually wanted to protect all religions equally.
00:20:43.000 That's not true.
00:20:47.000 No, no, the freedom to worship.
00:20:48.000 But you do understand that at that point in time, they probably didn't have a chip in their brain for a religion like Islam getting a foothold here.
00:20:56.000 This was largely about the separation of church and state for people who misquote the Constitution.
00:21:00.000 It's about denominations, right?
00:21:02.000 Protection from the Church of England, that you'll be free to practice your largely Protestant denomination in this country. 0.57
00:21:09.000 If I'm being honest, I think the Founding Fathers, they probably wouldn't have had a problem with things like Buddhism or Baha'i churches, the stuff that doesn't matter. 0.98
00:21:18.000 They'd be like, so you basically, okay, so you just kind of sit there and you don't believe in heaven or hell and you do your own.
00:21:24.000 It's like kind of like a Quaker. 1.00
00:21:26.000 All right, whatever.
00:21:27.000 No, no, no.
00:21:28.000 If they had heard, oh yeah, we're going to protect, this is for Islam, too, right?
00:21:32.000 They'd be like, what?
00:21:33.000 You mean the pirates?
00:21:34.000 No, I said all men are created equal.
00:21:36.000 Men.
00:21:37.000 Human beings.
00:21:37.000 Yes.
00:21:39.000 Wait, hold on a second.
00:21:39.000 You're not, wait, your religion requires subjecting us.
00:21:43.000 Your religion requires subverting our laws. 1.00
00:21:46.000 You're not trying to start a new political party, are you? 1.00
00:21:49.000 Let's hang them, please. 0.99
00:21:51.000 That's what they would have done, to be clear. 0.99
00:21:53.000 And we just act as though all religions are equal.
00:21:55.000 Not only as Christians, do we not believe that all religions are equal.
00:21:59.000 As Christians, you have to believe there's one and only one path to God, to salvation, because that's what our faith requires of us.
00:22:06.000 But we also don't believe that they're all equal in practice.
00:22:09.000 There are religions, there are faiths that are far more corrosive and violent in the real world than others. 1.00
00:22:15.000 The Founding Fathers were smart enough to know that.
00:22:18.000 This brings us to now.
00:22:19.000 Don Lemon claimed that the Minnesota churchgoers he was assisting in harassing.
00:22:25.000 Well, the real reason for it and the reason he's in the right is because they were privileged white supremacists.
00:22:31.000 And there's a certain degree of entitlement.
00:22:33.000 I think people who are, you know, in religious groups like that, it's not the type of Christianity that I practice, but I think that they're entitled and that entitlement of supremacy.
00:22:43.000 She looks like a medium who even ghosts for them that it is a Christian country when actually we left England because we wanted religious freedom. 0.79
00:22:50.000 It's religious freedom, but only if you're a Christian and only if you're a white male, pretty much. 0.63
00:22:55.000 Yeah.
00:22:55.000 Okay.
00:22:56.000 Nobody believes that.
00:22:58.000 And that lady looks like an inside-out avatar for solitude. 1.00
00:23:02.000 Everything about her is piercing and cold. 1.00
00:23:05.000 He is so completely ignorant. 1.00
00:23:07.000 Yes. 1.00
00:23:08.000 On every term.
00:23:10.000 At every turn. 1.00
00:23:10.000 He is completely ignorant. 1.00
00:23:12.000 I wish I had that confidence, though. 0.99
00:23:14.000 I wish I had the confidence to say something. 1.00
00:23:15.000 So I just say things that are ignorant and then immediately go, oh, shit. 1.00
00:23:18.000 But there are people like the overall lady that nod and go, hmm, hey. 1.00
00:23:21.000 It makes sense.
00:23:22.000 Yeah.
00:23:22.000 Yeah.
00:23:23.000 Oh, yeah.
00:23:23.000 I would be willing to bet, since it's St. Paul, that there were, you know, minority worshipers in that church.
00:23:28.000 And I'm pretty sure the viral picture of the mom comforting her child was an Asian woman. 0.99
00:23:33.000 Yeah, definitely.
00:23:34.000 And it looked like a Middle Eastern or it looked like a brown woman behind them. 1.00
00:23:37.000 Yeah.
00:23:38.000 Well, she's back.
00:23:39.000 Is she by proxy or how does this work? 0.97
00:23:41.000 Well, it's a very good point, though, that he is completely ignorant and seldom, I mean, outside of Brian Stelter. 0.89
00:23:45.000 That's why CNN is just sort of this, it's this Marvel sort of spring of no talent. 0.89
00:23:54.000 You're thinking of DC.
00:23:55.000 Yeah.
00:23:56.000 I mean, I guess you dodge enough HIV bullets and you think you're invincible. 1.00
00:24:01.000 And he, I guarantee you, I've been around enough of these green rooms. 0.94
00:24:04.000 As a gay black man, no one would be questioning him in the green room. 1.00
00:24:09.000 He would espouse something just as dumb as you've just heard. 0.99
00:24:12.000 And people go like, yeah, that's a good point. 0.99
00:24:13.000 Yeah, you should say that on air, right?
00:24:15.000 Because we're all tolerant.
00:24:16.000 I would say that too, but I'd be like, yeah, you should say that.
00:24:19.000 Right.
00:24:19.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:24:20.000 You should say that on national TV.
00:24:21.000 He's like, yeah, no, this is good.
00:24:22.000 Yeah, Jesus was imperfect. 1.00
00:24:24.000 And Mary was a whore, right? 0.99
00:24:24.000 God doesn't judge. 0.99
00:24:27.000 And I was like, yes, you are a brave sodomite black man. 1.00
00:24:31.000 We all are. 1.00
00:24:32.000 We have your backside. 1.00
00:24:33.000 I yield my time, Don.
00:24:35.000 Go ahead, say that.
00:24:36.000 There's a whole lot of dudes with only God can judge me tattoos that are really going to have to rethink their.
00:24:41.000 Yeah, we went from only God can judge me to, well, God doesn't judge.
00:24:45.000 Okay, so I guess there is no judgment whatsoever.
00:24:47.000 It's going to be a rude awakening when the gavel comes down and says guilty.
00:24:51.000 Now, Lemon also had a meltdown after getting, I guess you would say, put on blast by none other than Nikki Minaj.
00:24:58.000 Nikki Minaj is not a Christian.
00:24:59.000 She knows nothing about a Christian. 0.99
00:25:01.000 What she is is a griffin. 0.94
00:25:02.000 Nikki Minaj and the Pick-Me. 0.94
00:25:04.000 And she's not African-American.
00:25:06.000 She's from the islands.
00:25:08.000 She is a black woman, but she doesn't understand the African-American struggle, so to speak.
00:25:14.000 And if she did, she wouldn't be doing this and saying this on Martin Luther King Day on the Martin Luther King holiday always. 0.96
00:25:21.000 How dare you?
00:25:22.000 Putting that out. 0.99
00:25:23.000 Nikki Minaj doesn't care about black people. 1.00
00:25:26.000 She doesn't care about gay people. 1.00
00:25:28.000 Those are two of her people. 0.98
00:25:30.000 Yeah, it's got yay.
00:25:31.000 Make her rich.
00:25:32.000 And if I was, as I should say, if I am, as a black and gay person, I'm not supporting her. 1.00
00:25:40.000 And now she is calling a gay man a cocksucker. 1.00
00:25:45.000 That's homophobia. 1.00
00:25:46.000 She is an act, actually.
00:25:48.000 And I choose not to pick her.
00:25:53.000 How is that homophobic?
00:25:54.000 It sounds like a descriptor.
00:25:56.000 Yeah, that's like it's who you are.
00:25:58.000 It's your, dare I say it, Left.
00:26:00.000 It's your identity.
00:26:01.000 Right.
00:26:02.000 I mean, how many times did he say that as a gay man, as a black man? 0.99
00:26:06.000 So, like, you're basically talking about as a cocksucker is what you're saying. 0.99
00:26:10.000 Like, these are synonyms. 1.00
00:26:13.000 How can you be ignorant and inarticulate and be an anchor man? 0.90
00:26:17.000 Well, I don't know, but I do like that they have something in common, him and Nikki Minaj. 1.00
00:26:22.000 They both like to suck on the things. 0.99
00:26:25.000 And also pick me girl. 0.99
00:26:25.000 Yeah. 0.99
00:26:25.000 Yeah. 0.99
00:26:27.000 How are you a pick-me girl when you're married? 1.00
00:26:29.000 The other thing, too, she only cares about who made her rich. 0.99
00:26:33.000 Hey, Don, Lamon, let me ask you, who made you rich? 0.99
00:26:36.000 Was it gay black man? 0.99
00:26:36.000 Uh-huh. 0.99
00:26:38.000 Or was it largely, you know, guilty, privileged white women, the people who tune into in the daytime?
00:26:45.000 Let's be honest.
00:26:46.000 This is one thing.
00:26:46.000 They'll always apply standards to other people.
00:26:48.000 And here's the thing.
00:26:48.000 I also understand the argument.
00:26:50.000 For example, I was one of the few people when Nala Ray came out and now she runs a ministry. 0.99
00:26:53.000 And, you know, I was blowing 50 men in an hour last week, but now please buy my Bible course.
00:27:00.000 I think that people should sit down for a while, sit down in church and learn and should not be in a position of leadership.
00:27:06.000 Here's why I will defend Nikki Minaj here.
00:27:09.000 And by the way, I have no dog in this fight.
00:27:12.000 It's not my style of music, but I will say, Nikki Minaj did not simply become a gimmick, a Christian.
00:27:17.000 She's not a preacher.
00:27:18.000 She's not selling a Bible course.
00:27:19.000 She still is in the same line of work. 0.98
00:27:21.000 And Nikki Minaj, by the way, has been a Christian for a long time, meaning she's been on this journey for a while.
00:27:29.000 And if she wants to espouse her opinion, she's not placing herself on an altar.
00:27:33.000 It's simply someone who's evolved as a human being over the course of the last 10, 12 years.
00:27:38.000 Here's a clip of Nikki Minaj in 2015 thanking her pastor after winning a VMA.
00:27:42.000 Oh, you know, this is so random.
00:27:44.000 You know who I want to thank tonight?
00:27:46.000 My pastor.
00:27:52.000 I love you so much.
00:27:54.000 I want to thank my pastor.
00:27:56.000 The cameraman.
00:27:57.000 Yeah.
00:27:58.000 A plus.
00:28:00.000 The difference is she's not saying that she is a pastor.
00:28:03.000 And I don't think she's an ambassador for Christianity, but she's allowed to espouse her opinion because she's not positioning herself in a role of leadership.
00:28:10.000 She's now talking about how she grew up attending church three days a week growing up.
00:28:14.000 She's been coming back to the faith.
00:28:15.000 So Don Lemon wants to discount that while he engages in daily degeneracy and violates people's First Amendment rights.
00:28:23.000 Nikki, to her credit, responded quite quickly, releasing this midnight diss track.
00:28:28.000 Yeah.
00:28:30.000 Order in the court, please.
00:28:31.000 Miss Judge on the mic. 0.65
00:28:34.000 Bring the choir in.
00:28:38.000 Tied pants and a weak glow Trying to preach, but he reading from a talk show Facts all wobbly, stuntin' for the B-roll You ain't Peter, you ain't Paul Churchill, then blame the Christians Sunday service, family's mini prayer.
00:29:03.000 Here you come, put my mic on air.
00:29:06.000 Turn the pulpit to a press event.
00:29:08.000 Now the bailiff taking evidence.
00:29:10.000 Awkward.
00:29:11.000 Don Lemon, why you so bitter? 1.00
00:29:13.000 Crying like a little bitch on Twitter. 1.00
00:29:16.000 Unwatchable like Jennifer Wells. 1.00
00:29:18.000 Gonna have to start a new show for myself.
00:29:23.000 That one slaps, as the children say.
00:29:25.000 Yeah, not bad for such a short notice.
00:29:27.000 Not bad.
00:29:28.000 Which brings us to, hey, our charge is coming.
00:29:31.000 By the way, all signs point to yes, to be clear.
00:29:34.000 And the best way to stay in touch, like I've told you, download the Rumble app, follow me there, because there's no way that this stuff is going to be airing on YouTube.
00:29:40.000 So after what happened at the church on Sunday in Minnesota, Assistant AG Harmett Dillon made it pretty clear that the DOJ is going to be pursuing, and not just Don Lemon, but the people who organized the storming of the church with really the full weight of the law.
00:29:59.000 This is going to get the highest attention from the Department of Justice because there is no more sacred right in our Constitution than the right to assemble and pray to God.
00:30:09.000 And there are federal laws that protect that right.
00:30:12.000 And what happened here was a shameful exercise of virtue signaling, disruption, fear, terror.
00:30:18.000 And this is illegal.
00:30:19.000 And I want to add before people start spazzing about the First Amendment that the Biden administration prosecuted people peacefully praying outside abortion clinics for much, much less, prosecuted them, prosecuted them under conspiracy statutes under the Klan Act, which I also have jurisdiction over at the DOJ.
00:30:40.000 And so the people who did this made a big, big mistake, whoever they are.
00:30:44.000 This will be met with the full force of the United States Department of Justice, as the Attorney General has directed.
00:30:50.000 And she posted more about that on X.
00:30:51.000 And this comes down to: hey, okay, First Amendment includes their right to peaceably assemble.
00:30:58.000 I know rice.
00:30:59.000 They're a Chinese people.
00:31:00.000 You have the right to rise.
00:31:02.000 You can eat all you want.
00:31:07.000 This is a house of the roar.
00:31:10.000 If you have no rice, it will be up.
00:31:12.000 I'll point it to you.
00:31:13.000 Do you see when Jesus feeds the 5,000?
00:31:16.000 Turn the two fish into a five billion rice. 0.99
00:31:22.000 Lane?
00:31:25.000 Surprisingly, I can't do a very good Asian accent. 0.65
00:31:27.000 They all just turn into an angry Japanese. 1.00
00:31:29.000 I can't do a good Asian accent. 0.79
00:31:30.000 Just to do a good Asian lady. 1.00
00:31:32.000 What do you need?
00:31:33.000 There's more rice.
00:31:39.000 I brought her rice.
00:31:40.000 A holy rice.
00:31:50.000 Everybody's coughing. Not me.
00:31:54.000 It's some plague going around.
00:31:55.000 I was choking on rice.
00:31:58.000 Someone's stuck back there.
00:31:59.000 Korean Jesus is not so happy. 0.94
00:32:02.000 Yeah, they're talking about surfer Jesus.
00:32:04.000 Don Lem talking about surfer Jesus.
00:32:06.000 Didn't mention Korean Jesus.
00:32:07.000 No, he didn't.
00:32:07.000 He didn't.
00:32:08.000 He had no problem with jacked Korean Jesus, but to be fair, no one does. 0.95
00:32:11.000 Korean Jesus so stacked. 0.98
00:32:14.000 He eat all the rice.
00:32:23.000 It's a protein rice.
00:32:27.000 I was like, yeah, we got a show to do.
00:32:29.000 Yeah, it's true.
00:32:30.000 I'm a show.
00:32:31.000 Why does she say things like spaz out on the First Amendment? 1.00
00:32:34.000 What is that comment?
00:32:34.000 What is that?
00:32:35.000 I don't know.
00:32:36.000 I honestly.
00:32:38.000 Didn't she do the Hindi prayer for the RNC opening or something?
00:32:42.000 She took some flaps for that. 0.97
00:32:43.000 I think Gerald talked to her about it at the RNC.
00:32:45.000 He's like, not cool.
00:32:47.000 Yeah.
00:32:48.000 What did she say?
00:32:49.000 She was like, ah, you know, a different stroke.
00:32:50.000 Well, it's not a church service.
00:32:51.000 And it's like, yeah, but you can see why people wouldn't love it.
00:32:56.000 Gerald will surprise you where he's like, ah, he's really nice.
00:32:58.000 He's like, yeah, I don't like your godless religion. 1.00
00:33:01.000 And her security removed the large man asking the questions.
00:33:05.000 So many rice. 0.95
00:33:09.000 Gerald's racist. 0.58
00:33:10.000 First. 0.53
00:33:11.000 Yeah.
00:33:16.000 After I'm doing this accent, he's in my mess. 1.00
00:33:21.000 Somewhere right now, you know, Gerald is watching this on his phone.
00:33:23.000 He's like, son of a First Amendment, do they have the right to worship?
00:33:28.000 Do they have the right to practice their religion freely?
00:33:30.000 Okay, that's another First Amendment.
00:33:31.000 And then Don Lemon goes, yeah, but First Amendment, I'm a journalist.
00:33:34.000 Okay, I understand that.
00:33:35.000 I have the right to disrupt and end a church service.
00:33:39.000 Now, I know what his defense will be.
00:33:41.000 His defense will be, well, I was a journalist covering it.
00:33:43.000 I didn't organize it.
00:33:44.000 Yeah, but did you become an active participant when you grilled the pastor and you took part in the protest when you knew that they were going in to disrupt people who were peacefully assembled to worship?
00:33:58.000 I think a case can be made, but I think that there are a lot of protections for journalists.
00:34:02.000 And so this may be one that they don't make stick, but I hope that they do.
00:34:05.000 I don't think you can, I don't think you can tell, I don't think you can be told to leave as a journalist and then refuse.
00:34:13.000 I don't think private property, that exactly what happened.
00:34:13.000 That's a, yeah.
00:34:16.000 He didn't force the pastor to stay there.
00:34:18.000 He wasn't holding him.
00:34:19.000 He was in his face and he was blocking his, you know, two ways of exit, but he did say, and I want you to leave now.
00:34:26.000 And then he got closer and asked more questions.
00:34:28.000 Yeah.
00:34:29.000 He refused to leave after being asked to leave a private premises while violating First Amendment right.
00:34:34.000 Yeah.
00:34:34.000 How does he say he didn't know they were going into a church?
00:34:36.000 He's doing b-roll and interviews in front of the church.
00:34:38.000 It looks like a church.
00:34:39.000 No, no.
00:34:40.000 I mean, if you look at it, like, you know how some churches don't look like churches?
00:34:43.000 Yeah.
00:34:44.000 And it's like, hey, the church of Christ of, you know, today's saints or whatever.
00:34:48.000 And latter days around your day.
00:34:48.000 Right.
00:34:50.000 You can tell.
00:34:51.000 But it looked like one.
00:34:52.000 It looked like it was like the hunchback was in there. 1.00
00:34:55.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:34:55.000 He had a camera rolling in front of the church.
00:34:57.000 I mean, there's that.
00:34:58.000 Plus, there was also something that goes like, oh, hey, there's the church I'm going to enter.
00:35:02.000 There's a stained glass Jiffy Lube.
00:35:04.000 I wonder if there are any sodomites in there.
00:35:07.000 They're singing, Our God is an awesome God.
00:35:09.000 Target Richard.
00:35:10.000 Who knows what's going on in there?
00:35:11.000 Yeah.
00:35:12.000 You know, we'll see.
00:35:13.000 It could be anything.
00:35:14.000 It could be anything.
00:35:15.000 By the way, they're also going to be looking at charges under both the FACE Act, like we discussed, and the Klan Act or the Enforcement Act of 1871. 1.00
00:35:22.000 Look out, faggot! 1.00
00:35:26.000 Oh, no. 1.00
00:35:28.000 It's coming.
00:35:35.000 Is this on YouTube?
00:35:37.000 This show is not off the rails.
00:35:38.000 There are no rails.
00:35:41.000 This show to me feels like that level in Donkey Kong country when you're on the rail carts and you have to keep jumping.
00:35:48.000 So, what the assistant AG was referring to, and just to be clear, we're pretty consistent as conservatives.
00:35:54.000 So, when these people were, by the way, they were arrested or they were cited because they were obstructing other people going into an abortion clinic.
00:36:02.000 I think that's appropriate.
00:36:02.000 I think you have the right to protest.
00:36:04.000 It's not like England where they arrest you for praying silently outside of an abortion clinic.
00:36:08.000 But what really matters here is the comparison.
00:36:11.000 Remember, the Biden administration obtained guilty verdicts under these same laws for these people sitting outside an abortion clinic.
00:36:18.000 me if it's as disruptive as what you saw yesterday.
00:36:32.000 So if we're going to talk about people saying weaponizing the justice system, those people, guilty verdicts.
00:36:39.000 I'm traumatized, actually.
00:36:40.000 People who went, yeah, people who went to the church yesterday screaming at children.
00:36:44.000 To be fair, your First Amendment right to kill your unborn child does rank slightly above free speech.
00:36:49.000 Well, that brings us that brings us to the next claim, actually, that's been made.
00:36:49.000 Right.
00:36:54.000 You know, Keith Ellison, he said, and this is one of those things where he just says something that's so factually off the beam where I thought, well, maybe, maybe, hold on a second, maybe I'm misremembering the FACE Act. 1.00
00:37:04.000 No, it turns out this guy's full of crap. 0.99
00:37:04.000 Did I mix it up? 0.99
00:37:06.000 He said that the FACE Act only protects women seeking abortions.
00:37:09.000 He said it.
00:37:10.000 And the FACE Act, by the way, is designed to protect the rights of people seeking their reproductive rights to be protected.
00:37:20.000 And so that people, for a religious reason, you know, cannot just use religion to break into women's reproductive health centers, right?
00:37:30.000 So, how they are stretching either of these laws to apply to people who protested in a church over the behavior or the perceived behavior of a religious leader is beyond me.
00:37:43.000 I think he's thinking of the Face Your Creator for Judgment Act.
00:37:48.000 Yeah, he could be.
00:37:49.000 He's a little bit of a.
00:37:50.000 He is face yourself in the mirror and not cry act.
00:37:52.000 And that's something, by the way, that we just sort of skim over.
00:37:56.000 If we believe that every life is fearfully, wonderfully created, and we understand that the science says that DNA is unique.
00:38:02.000 It's not the mother's DNA, it's not the father's DNA. 0.72
00:38:03.000 And if we also understand that there's 10 to 15,000 late-term abortions going on every year, that's a scary thought that those women are going to have to face their creator and account for that. 0.75
00:38:15.000 We kind of just gloss over that.
00:38:18.000 There's a comedian out there who I can't remember who it was, but they said, Do you think that somebody who has, if they had multiple abortions, you'd think they go to heaven and all those babies are waiting for them?
00:38:27.000 Those babies are definitely there.
00:38:28.000 I don't know, but the mom might have to greet them from afar as she hits the down button on the escalator. 1.00
00:38:33.000 Yeah, he's just a regular dude, though.
00:38:36.000 He wouldn't, why would he know the law?
00:38:38.000 It's not like he's the attorney general of the state.
00:38:40.000 That's what's so scary because here's the truth: the FACE Act explicitly mentions religion houses of worship.
00:38:40.000 Right.
00:38:49.000 Let me read this for you.
00:38:50.000 The FACE Act makes it pretty clear that prosecutors can criminally charge anyone who, quote, by force or threat of force or by physical obstruction intimidates or interferes with any person lawfully exercising or seeking to exercise the First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship.
00:39:11.000 How did Ellison get that wrong?
00:39:13.000 Well, here's the thing: you either have to believe that he is quite literally functionally retarded or he's lying to you. 0.93
00:39:21.000 And by the way, I'm leading the witness. 0.67
00:39:22.000 Of course, he's lying to you.
00:39:24.000 There's also a third option.
00:39:25.000 He thinks that Plant Baronet is a place of worship.
00:39:27.000 It's true.
00:39:28.000 He could.
00:39:29.000 Worshiping at the altar of boys.
00:39:29.000 Yeah.
00:39:30.000 Worship.
00:39:31.000 Yeah, boy.
00:39:32.000 Yes.
00:39:33.000 And the KKK Act or the Klein Act, some people refer to it, by the way, that can actually be used whenever someone conspires to violate people's civil rights.
00:39:40.000 You can invoke that act, right?
00:39:42.000 Specifically because the KKK would do that.
00:39:44.000 They would intimidate people into silence.
00:39:45.000 They would harm people, kill people if they were protesting.
00:39:49.000 So that's why it exists.
00:39:51.000 It also provides for civil monetary damages to victims.
00:39:54.000 So Don Lemon might have to face that.
00:39:56.000 And so, really, now what's actually pretty interesting is Kelchie, they have their odds up right now.
00:40:00.000 Who's going to be charged with a federal crime in 2026?
00:40:03.000 Did you guys, can you guys bring this up?
00:40:04.000 Don Lemon now is at 72%.
00:40:08.000 72%.
00:40:08.000 Letitia James at 53.
00:40:10.000 Wow.
00:40:10.000 Comey at 50.
00:40:11.000 Elon Omar at 47%.
00:40:14.000 Think about that for a second.
00:40:15.000 That's fun to watch.
00:40:17.000 Do I think that it'll stick?
00:40:17.000 Yeah.
00:40:19.000 I don't know.
00:40:19.000 He might walk because he's a journalist and he might get a slap on the wrist.
00:40:23.000 Is there a parlay for that?
00:40:24.000 I don't even know how the betting works.
00:40:26.000 All four of them. 0.99
00:40:27.000 But I do think Don Lemon better put on his, I mean, he better put on his shitting pants because he's about to be shitting himself. 0.99
00:40:37.000 All right. 0.99
00:40:51.000 That's all I have on that.
00:40:54.000 Uh...
00:40:55.000 All right, Ben Shapiro and Lane the Bridge.
00:40:56.000 I know we were working on this.
00:40:57.000 And, you know, we always want to try and be tactful in approaching this because I think Ben Shapiro is right about a lot.
00:41:04.000 And I think he's been wrong about an increasing amount as of late.
00:41:10.000 And right now, when there's a civil sort of, I don't even want to say civil war, but there are these fractions on the right and there's sort of these clicks being created.
00:41:19.000 You have one side saying, hey, it's really important to be consistent about our principles.
00:41:22.000 And I agree.
00:41:23.000 Ben Shapiro often toes that line.
00:41:26.000 I think he believes it, but he will pull a sleight of hand.
00:41:30.000 And I don't think that his argument here on Gavin Newsom's podcast was in good faith regarding housing prices.
00:41:38.000 First off, let me ask you this.
00:41:41.000 When we talk about the housing crisis in this country, what do you think?
00:41:48.000 Okay.
00:41:49.000 My next question is: when President Trump is saying that there will be legislation that will bar institutional investors from purchasing single-family homes in this country, what do you think that's meant to address?
00:42:06.000 I know what your answer is.
00:42:07.000 Ben Shapiro on Gavin Newsom's podcast said, you're talking about rent prices, right?
00:42:13.000 I don't think that that's being particularly straightforward or honest.
00:42:17.000 And that's why when we've addressed this, I offered a six-point prescription on how I genuinely believe we could lower housing prices in this country.
00:42:26.000 Here's a refresher.
00:42:27.000 So let me walk you back through it.
00:42:28.000 Six-point plan, okay, just to make sure there's no misinterpretation.
00:42:33.000 Ban of purchases from institutional investors or foreign investors on single-family home units.
00:42:39.000 Only citizens, local permanent residents, can buy homes with very strict verification, severe penalties for anyone housing, renting to, or selling homes to illegal aliens, along with increased deportations, an immigrant, legal immigrant renting period for the first two years of residency, incentivize starter homes on the builder's side with tax breaks, tax credits, and then incentivize first-time homebuyers with a tax deduction for that first year.
00:43:04.000 And I think this is important where we'll often discuss what conservatism, what put America first means.
00:43:12.000 I certainly think that that means the government should act in the best interests of its people, provided they are not violating any fundamental constitutional rights.
00:43:23.000 And when you take into account that in 1991, for example, the median age for first-time homebuyers was 28 years old.
00:43:28.000 Now it's 38 years old.
00:43:29.000 Some of that includes personal responsibility.
00:43:32.000 Yes.
00:43:33.000 Some of it includes some failures at an institutional level.
00:43:37.000 Conservatives, conservatism is of no value if it's not actually addressing those problems.
00:43:45.000 So now we find ourselves at a point where the population of renters is growing at a rate like three times faster than homeowners.
00:43:52.000 Is that good for the country?
00:43:53.000 And then you have to ask yourself: is it good for the country when there are people who are here illegally who have no business being in this country? 1.00
00:44:00.000 Are homeowners in the place of young working Americans? 0.61
00:44:04.000 That brings us to Ben Shapiro talking with Gavin Newsom, making this claim when the jumping off point was Donald Trump's policy on institutional investors purchasing up single-family unit homes.
00:44:18.000 Okay, the fact is that in the state of California, for example, exorbitantly low percentage of relative to other states.
00:44:24.000 Yeah, relative to other states for sure.
00:44:26.000 Okay, and guess what?
00:44:27.000 Real estate here, really, really expensive.
00:44:29.000 And meanwhile, if you go over to Charlotte, North Carolina, where the real estate prices actually have been diving, you actually do have pretty significant corporate ownership.
00:44:36.000 And here we're talking about large corporations, not like small mom and pop operations where you own a second home to rent it out.
00:44:41.000 Typically speaking, when a corporation invests in an area, like say Phoenix and then builds up an enormous number of rental units, because that's what happens.
00:44:48.000 They buy, let's say, a single-family home.
00:44:50.000 Now they rent it out.
00:44:50.000 Okay.
00:44:51.000 So they just increased the stock of rent, right?
00:44:54.000 Which means that the rental prices go down.
00:44:56.000 And then corporations typically are investing in areas where it's easier to buy and easier to renovate and easier to build.
00:45:02.000 Like renovating is very difficult in places like New York and in certain parts of California.
00:45:05.000 It's a lot easier in, say, Austin or Phoenix or Florida.
00:45:08.000 And so what you've seen is actually there is not only zero correlation between corporate ownership of real estate assets and price of rent, for example.
00:45:17.000 In many cases, there's a reverse correlation.
00:45:19.000 And so trying to refocus on, look at this terrible, it isn't BlackRock.
00:45:24.000 BlackRock doesn't own real estate assets in this fashion.
00:45:27.000 But if you're looking at Blackstone, it's Blackstone's fault that the real estate prices are going up.
00:45:33.000 No, it isn't.
00:45:34.000 And again, I think that that is...
00:45:35.000 So why is he pursuing two policies that you vehemently disagree with?
00:45:39.000 Because I think that is flailing on the issue of the economy with Governor.
00:45:43.000 I think that it is politically beneficial for politicians to tell people that their problems are easily solvable with the stroke of a pen.
00:45:50.000 Now, do you see what Ben Shapiro just did there?
00:45:53.000 Everything that he said is factually true.
00:45:57.000 And so he made the case for Donald Trump's policy if you want more first-time homebuyers.
00:46:05.000 Everything he said is technically true.
00:46:08.000 And he seems to think that the solution is more available units for rent.
00:46:14.000 That's not the issue.
00:46:15.000 That's not the crisis that we're addressing.
00:46:17.000 And by the way, yes, part of this crisis has been created by the government.
00:46:21.000 It would be like someone taking you out on a boat, you falling off the boat, drowning, and then throwing you a motorcycle when you need a life preserver.
00:46:30.000 Yeah, the housing market was screwed up.
00:46:32.000 We can go back to the subprime loans.
00:46:33.000 We know all about that.
00:46:34.000 But at this point in time, people are not able to buy homes.
00:46:38.000 People aren't complaining about not being able to rent.
00:46:40.000 As a matter of fact, in the absence of home ownership to build equity in a nest egg, people are forced to rent.
00:46:45.000 And Ben Shapiro is going, well, see, now that isn't it good institutional investors make it So, you're more likely to have to rent.
00:46:54.000 I don't know if you saw a slide at hand.
00:46:54.000 Yeah.
00:46:56.000 He starts by referring to these as real estate prices.
00:46:58.000 He's like, real estate's cheaper, real estate, and then slides in calling it rent.
00:47:02.000 Rent.
00:47:03.000 Hoping that you don't notice he avoided the actual elephant in the room, which is home buying.
00:47:08.000 He also slided when he said single-family homes, and then they start building these rental units.
00:47:13.000 It's like, well, I think we all understand single-family home as a standalone house that one family lives in.
00:47:13.000 Yeah.
00:47:21.000 No one thinks single-family home and thinks an apartment.
00:47:24.000 And this is also why, by the way, Ben Shapiro has been invited on the show, and I think he's pretty respectful.
00:47:29.000 And I think we could have a good conversation.
00:47:31.000 But when people say, I can't believe that you would platform insert X person here, let's say Nick Fuentes.
00:47:35.000 I go, well, he's sitting next to Gavin Newsom.
00:47:39.000 Does anyone want to make the case that Nick Fuentes is more dangerous and more corrosive to the American fabric than that guy running for president who wanted to trans kids and accuse you of hate speech if you spoke out against it?
00:47:49.000 That's why I'm not going to play that game.
00:47:52.000 And here's the truth.
00:47:53.000 And please check the references.
00:47:55.000 Yes, rents are down.
00:47:57.000 Purchase prices are way up.
00:48:00.000 So he used Charlotte and Phoenix as examples.
00:48:02.000 Let me give you, yeah, rent prices.
00:48:04.000 Charlotte, they're down about 1.4%.
00:48:07.000 Phoenix, they're down about 4%.
00:48:08.000 This is just year over year.
00:48:09.000 Okay.
00:48:10.000 By the way, the national average for rent is down 1.1% year over year.
00:48:14.000 So it's not like there are particular standouts in making things more affordable for people.
00:48:19.000 Let's contrast that with the problem that the policy is meant to address and the problem that you care about.
00:48:24.000 Check the references.
00:48:25.000 Home prices are up astronomically.
00:48:29.000 So if you look at Charlotte from 2015 to 2025, $173,000, average price for a home, to $410,000, more than double.
00:48:38.000 Jeez.
00:48:38.000 Phoenix, $215,000.
00:48:40.000 Sorry, in 2015, $213,000.
00:48:43.000 2025, 514,000.
00:48:46.000 So your rent's gone down a percentage point or two.
00:48:50.000 The prices of homes have doubled.
00:48:54.000 This approach to conservatism, therefore, that's a good thing.
00:48:58.000 And we want bigger institutional investors.
00:49:01.000 It's not the right-wing extremism that would be the reason for losing midterms or the next national election.
00:49:07.000 I would argue it's this approach.
00:49:10.000 I would argue that anyone making the case for large institutional investors because it's easier for you to rent, even though purchasing a home is further from reach than ever before.
00:49:24.000 I don't think that that's actually something.
00:49:25.000 Not only do I think optically, not only do I think that it won't resonate, I actually think it's immoral because that's not the result of the free market, to be clear.
00:49:36.000 It really isn't.
00:49:37.000 These institutional investors, we heard from Elizabeth Warren, they're too big to fail.
00:49:41.000 So they're gambling with your money.
00:49:43.000 What do you think is going to happen if there's a crash?
00:49:45.000 You think they're going to be left or holding the bag?
00:49:47.000 No, of course not.
00:49:48.000 You will.
00:49:48.000 So on the front end, you're not able to purchase a home.
00:49:51.000 You're priced out because of these people.
00:49:53.000 And on the tail end, well, you're going to be subsidizing them in the form of a bailout.
00:49:56.000 That's inevitable.
00:49:57.000 That will happen.
00:50:01.000 I don't understand it.
00:50:02.000 Maybe someone can present this case, man.
00:50:03.000 I don't know if this is a someone thinks that it's a Milton Friedman free market argument.
00:50:06.000 Like, yeah, yeah, no, no, actually, conservatism should really support the institutional investors pricing people out of their neighborhoods so that we can create a permanent class of renters.
00:50:14.000 I can only imagine making this case if you think it's beneficial to the American fabric at large to have a permanent class of renters.
00:50:24.000 And here's another truth.
00:50:25.000 He points to Charlotte and Phoenix.
00:50:28.000 Institutional investors own a disproportionate share of single-family homes in those areas.
00:50:28.000 Well, he's right.
00:50:33.000 So, like in the national average, institutional investors owning these single-family homes is like one, two percent.
00:50:38.000 In Charlotte, it's 18%.
00:50:40.000 In Phoenix, it's 10%.
00:50:44.000 So, more institutional investors.
00:50:46.000 Ben Shapiro says, that's good.
00:50:48.000 That's why I am against Donald Trump's policy because rent is cheaper.
00:50:53.000 I go, okay, more institutional investors.
00:50:55.000 Rent is slightly cheaper and home prices are astronomically inflated.
00:51:04.000 What bothers me is when you have people from that side of the conservative aisle saying that we're abandoning our principles, our free market principles of we're saying, no, this is a manipulated market.
00:51:15.000 And it's a manipulated market to benefit institutional investors, by the way, who are not beholden to the American people at all, but international coalitions often at the cost of Americans.
00:51:26.000 How is that looking out for our people?
00:51:28.000 Important to note that Charlotte and Phoenix are both cities with high populations of migrant influx.
00:51:35.000 That's true as well.
00:51:36.000 Both.
00:51:37.000 Very high, one from Latin America, one from overseas. 0.88
00:51:41.000 Which is why part of my multi-point plan is that you cannot purchase a home if you are here illegally. 1.00
00:51:45.000 As a matter of fact, you're not allowed to stay in a home if you are here illegally. 1.00
00:51:48.000 That should go to an American homeowner. 0.94
00:51:51.000 Why do you think Ben is, and I have a theory on this, but it's such a, it seems like he has such a worship of free markets that he's blind to the realities that those free markets cause.
00:52:01.000 Like he'll say, free trade is good.
00:52:04.000 Yeah, in theory, until it deindustrializes America and we can no longer make anything.
00:52:08.000 Right.
00:52:09.000 The Browning of America, I don't care about it. 1.00
00:52:11.000 Okay, yes, until you completely lose your culture and the thing that made America possible in the first place.
00:52:15.000 Because it's a weird wing of the conservatives here that just blankly worships the free market as though it is some benevolent being.
00:52:23.000 It's a very strange phenomenon that really needs to be dealt with.
00:52:26.000 It definitely needs to be dealt with.
00:52:27.000 And the free market, when we generally think of it, especially when you go back to someone like Adam Smith and the invisible hand that determines markets, right, supply and demand, ultimately that is predicated around the idea of a goods or service creator provider and a consumer.
00:52:42.000 When you add international speculative markets where people are actually looking to squeeze out profit that does not benefit the consumer, we now have a different motive than creating the best product in a competitive market for consumers who can vote with their dollar.
00:52:58.000 And then when you add more complications to it, for example, like the housing market, where banks are forced to take on risk, as we've seen for a very long time, to people who had no business being in those homes who would never be able to pay it back.
00:53:09.000 But hey, that money is insured by you, the taxpayer.
00:53:11.000 Now we've added to the problem.
00:53:13.000 And now we have institutional investors buying up homes when they have no connection to your community whatsoever.
00:53:18.000 This is not good for America.
00:53:20.000 It's not good for people in these communities.
00:53:23.000 And I don't know how any conservative can argue for it.
00:53:25.000 Here's some more proof for you.
00:53:27.000 Median home prices, by the way, in both of those places, they are continuing to skyrocket.
00:53:32.000 So let me give you some context here.
00:53:34.000 Yes, you can purchase a home, and we've talked about this.
00:53:37.000 You can make some decisions where you can cut some costs and you can purchase a home a little further out of the city.
00:53:41.000 And a first-time home is within reach for many people, especially if you compare it to previous generations, the amenities, the size.
00:53:49.000 Still, we do need to address the fact that in Charlotte, for example, the median income is $78,000.
00:53:54.000 In 2005, the median income that would be required to buy the average first-time home would be about $32,000.
00:54:01.000 In 2020, it would be about $50,000.
00:54:03.000 2025, $91,000.
00:54:05.000 This outpaces the inflation of wages, to be clear.
00:54:09.000 Phoenix, the median income is $77,000 right now.
00:54:12.000 2005, what would be needed to purchase that home would be about $50,000.
00:54:15.000 2020, $71,000.
00:54:16.000 From 2020 to 2025, $122,000 would need to be the median income to match up with the average home in the Phoenix area.
00:54:30.000 I don't think we're going to get anywhere by saying, you know what, these populists, they actually don't have a point.
00:54:35.000 And you also need to look at that acceleration.
00:54:37.000 How is that free market where you see a graph that goes up and then spikes up because of an artificially engineered, manipulated picking winners and losers market post-COVID?
00:54:51.000 In 15 years, that median income required went up about $21,000.
00:54:57.000 In five years, it doubled.
00:55:01.000 It's incredible.
00:55:02.000 And then in places like Charlotte, if you look at the new home, there's like a lot of new homes built.
00:55:07.000 The ones that would be defined as starter-level homes was like 1.1% of all new homes built.
00:55:13.000 Yeah.
00:55:13.000 So that's the free market saying that's what we can make money on, but how is that actually serving the community at all?
00:55:18.000 No, exactly right.
00:55:20.000 You're going to see some free market.
00:55:21.000 Look at Mundami and Newsom and what they've done in their environments.
00:55:26.000 You make them less desirable.
00:55:28.000 Are you going to drive prices down?
00:55:29.000 For sale signs everywhere in Manhattan now.
00:55:31.000 People are getting out of Dodge.
00:55:33.000 They're getting out for their 181 days or six months a year to avoid taxes.
00:55:37.000 And now they're just moving out entirely.
00:55:38.000 Yeah, but you know who buys that?
00:55:39.000 It's international speculators that come in.
00:55:41.000 They're like, well, New York will be good again.
00:55:43.000 I'll pay exorbitant prices for these right now because it'll go up in the future.
00:55:46.000 And then you compound that by the fact that Momdani wants to raise property taxes right now while instituting rent freezes.
00:55:51.000 Well, let me ask you this.
00:55:52.000 What do you think happens there?
00:55:54.000 You're someone who owns properties.
00:55:56.000 Let's say you own five.
00:55:58.000 Three now are facing rent control, rent freezes.
00:56:01.000 Your property taxes go up.
00:56:03.000 What do you think happens to the costs of those remaining two properties that are not rent controlled?
00:56:08.000 So this is how the left, yeah, they benefit those who don't contribute, those who are in subsidized housing, those who lock down an apartment, and they're fine living with rats.
00:56:15.000 But if you're working hard and you want to pay for a semi-decent apartment, guess what?
00:56:19.000 That's completely out of reach as the result of these policies to correct waste privilege.
00:56:23.000 Isn't rent control a rent freeze anyway?
00:56:24.000 Yeah.
00:56:25.000 That's basically what it is.
00:56:26.000 I know what happens.
00:56:27.000 They get desperate.
00:56:28.000 The owners of the properties get desperate and they sell for a super low price to who?
00:56:32.000 The city.
00:56:33.000 The city uses that.
00:56:33.000 Yes.
00:56:35.000 They make it to be low-income housing or government-funded housing.
00:56:39.000 That's how they do it.
00:56:40.000 That's how they turn New York City into a commie state.
00:56:40.000 Yep.
00:56:42.000 Yeah.
00:56:43.000 And by the way, if you have the income of the median panhandler, you still can snag this beauty in Gary, Indiana.
00:57:12.000 Institutional investment may result in cheaper rent, though.
00:57:15.000 It's really just part of a national trend right now overall.
00:57:18.000 It seems to have, to use his word, seems to have an inverse correlation with reducing the costs of homes.
00:57:24.000 And if Ben Shapiro would like to come and make the case on home prices for people to purchase, I'd like to have that discussion.
00:57:33.000 I know he was going to come on a while back, and I don't know what happened.
00:57:37.000 He's still welcome to, and of course, we'll keep the tone respectful.
00:57:37.000 I guess it fell through.
00:57:41.000 A place for which I have decreasing respect, Greenland.
00:57:49.000 And what do I mean by that?
00:57:52.000 I mean, the country, I mean, how it's run.
00:57:53.000 I mean, the people, I mean, in general, which I know it will not go over well with the 55,000 people of Greenland.
00:58:00.000 56,000?
00:58:01.000 56,000.
00:58:02.000 But it is such an insignificant market share that I will be honest, Greenlanders, I don't take it into account. 1.00
00:58:07.000 They have less people in their country than are watching this show right now.
00:58:10.000 Yes, that's exactly right.
00:58:12.000 Well, there's probably a little overlap.
00:58:14.000 There's probably some Greenlanders.
00:58:15.000 There are probably a couple right there having their breakfast of reconstituted fish fat soup in the coldest climate on earth.
00:58:24.000 Trying to eat my fish head soup.
00:58:26.000 Lacking vitamin D, lighting their lamp with whale oil.
00:58:30.000 Okay.
00:58:31.000 I'm sorry, Greenland.
00:58:32.000 You've been through enough, but we're going to put you through more.
00:58:34.000 So before we get into the ins and outs of Greenland, I think a lot of people may not be familiar with the history there, which is why they always try and paint the United States as, for some reason, unique in wanting to position ourselves as best as possible globally.
00:58:48.000 Here's some memes that President Trump dropped last night on Truth Social.
00:58:53.000 Okay.
00:58:54.000 And then at 1 a.m., look at that right there.
00:58:56.000 I'm going to do it.
00:59:01.000 What a timeline.
00:59:02.000 It really is.
00:59:03.000 Now, the media and, of course, leftists that have you believe that the United States is this imperialist nation and that this is something that is unique to us at this point in time.
00:59:12.000 That's the playbook.
00:59:13.000 The politician, what's the politician's name from Greenland?
00:59:16.000 Tilly Tilly.
00:59:18.000 Martin Nussi's?
00:59:20.000 I guess so.
00:59:20.000 Well, this person is going viral for the first time in the history of ever on social media for her comments about the United States like we care.
00:59:28.000 The rich like the Americans are.
00:59:30.000 See how greedy they are? 0.97
00:59:31.000 They're even trying to shoot their friends or invade their friends just for greed.
00:59:37.000 And we know that there's minerals and oils possibly in our underground and that's worth so much more even than that.
00:59:44.000 But even if we didn't have that, we would still note.
00:59:46.000 Eskimo with lip fillers.
00:59:48.000 So everyone here knows about the Inuit in Alaska and all of the Native tribes, Indians, American Indians who are there.
00:59:56.000 Their land was taken from them and they haven't been treated that well.
01:00:00.000 I won't give you casinos.
01:00:01.000 And we know that Trump is very much surrounding himself at least with white power people.
01:00:08.000 And we are not white, as you can see.
01:00:10.000 Like Marco Ruby.
01:00:10.000 We are of color.
01:00:12.000 And so we know our whites probably would be taken away.
01:00:16.000 Did she just say that the Alaskan natives, that America took their land from them?
01:00:16.000 So a couple of things there.
01:00:20.000 Is that what she said?
01:00:21.000 Yes.
01:00:22.000 Yeah, the natives.
01:00:22.000 The natives.
01:00:23.000 She's aware that it was a land purchase from Russia, right?
01:00:28.000 You guys want to take your chance with the Russians? 0.97
01:00:30.000 Yeah, and which other properties is she talking about?
01:00:34.000 Is she talking about California, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas?
01:00:37.000 This is one of those things where they act like we're uniquely responsible.
01:00:41.000 This goes back to this whole trope about us taking the land from Native Americans while completely ignoring that Native American tribes.
01:00:46.000 We're taking them from other tribes in usually far more barbaric and cruel ways. 1.00
01:00:50.000 Also, they try and paint this picture.
01:00:51.000 Like, Greenland is this peaceful country.
01:00:52.000 Like, we have this wonderful way of life that the United States wants to come in and disrupt.
01:00:58.000 The suicide rate in Greenland is through the roof.
01:01:01.000 It's 81 per 100,000.
01:01:04.000 Like, Japan would dream of that, to be clear.
01:01:07.000 And that's the land of tiny plummeting bodies and suicide forests.
01:01:12.000 Jeez.
01:01:14.000 What is, do we know ours?
01:01:15.000 Well, in Alaska, to give you an idea, because we wanted to compare apples to apples, you know, a tundra wasteland.
01:01:20.000 It's 27 per 100,000.
01:01:22.000 It's not even close.
01:01:23.000 That's our worst state, too.
01:01:24.000 That's our worst state.
01:01:25.000 So that's Eskimo to Eskimo comparison right there.
01:01:29.000 You say Inuit.
01:01:30.000 Oh, we say Inuit?
01:01:31.000 Not in this studio.
01:01:32.000 Japan's about 16.
01:01:34.000 I'm about to go visit the Winuit Casino.
01:01:37.000 Think about that for a second.
01:01:39.000 Hey, it's not working well, Greenland. 0.93
01:01:42.000 Because you're all killing yourselves.
01:01:42.000 Why?
01:01:45.000 Like, your suicide rate, you're the trannies of the Alaskan tundra. 1.00
01:01:51.000 But we don't want them to be. 0.73
01:01:53.000 We want them to be Americans.
01:01:54.000 Yes.
01:01:55.000 You know, there's a better way.
01:01:57.000 Do we?
01:01:58.000 Yeah, I know.
01:01:59.000 Do we want them to be American? 1.00
01:02:01.000 Well, Puerto Rico.
01:02:03.000 Kind of.
01:02:04.000 You want them to be American? 1.00
01:02:05.000 I don't want them to be.
01:02:05.000 No, I want them to be like Puerto Rico.
01:02:07.000 Alberta, maybe.
01:02:08.000 But I will say this.
01:02:11.000 Do you guys know how Denmark came to be sort of in charge of Greenland?
01:02:19.000 Has anyone gone through this history?
01:02:20.000 We're just going to ignore all of that.
01:02:22.000 I don't know if you know this, but like the Danes, they don't look like the Eskimos of Greenland.
01:02:28.000 There was a period of time where there was a change.
01:02:30.000 Did you know that?
01:02:31.000 Yeah.
01:02:31.000 Well, let me bring you back to the year 985, right?
01:02:35.000 This is Eric the Red.
01:02:36.000 You're familiar?
01:02:37.000 Greenland was discovered, colonized by this Norse Viking, Eric the Red. 0.74
01:02:37.000 Yeah. 0.74
01:02:42.000 You're probably quite familiar with him.
01:02:44.000 And just because there wasn't like a ton of bloody battles or war, that's just because there were so few people.
01:02:51.000 They didn't even know that he was there yet.
01:02:56.000 The Nordics pretty much just said like, you know that you're ours now?
01:03:00.000 And they were like, all right.
01:03:01.000 And to be fair, if he came across him, it probably didn't go well because his dad got kicked out of Norway for killing somebody, and then he got kicked out of Iceland for killing multiple people.
01:03:09.000 Right.
01:03:10.000 So not a super good guy.
01:03:11.000 Yeah, it wasn't like they were coming in peace, to be clear.
01:03:14.000 Then there was the 1814 Treaty of Kiel, where this was during the kind of the Napoleonic Wars.
01:03:20.000 Denmark agreed to sort of cede Norway to Sweden.
01:03:23.000 And I'm not going to lie to you.
01:03:25.000 I am not a historian on this because it's pretty much all the same to me, that area of the world.
01:03:32.000 It's very homogenous, and I understand there's a difference between Nordic and Scandinavian.
01:03:37.000 And I get that the Swedes would be really mad if you compared them to the Norwegians.
01:03:39.000 But you know what the point is?
01:03:40.000 We really don't care.
01:03:41.000 Hey, we're not all the same.
01:03:43.000 Yeah, we're not the same.
01:03:44.000 We're the ones we do.
01:03:45.000 We do pancakes and they eat fish soup, whatever.
01:03:49.000 Who cares, dude?
01:03:51.000 We need it for a matter of national security.
01:03:53.000 So Denmark is this big.
01:03:55.000 Yeah, they retained control of Greenland, which was a Norwegian territory.
01:03:59.000 And let's go through, actually, this idea that the United States would be far worse as far as rulers of Greenland.
01:04:07.000 And I know that this sort of comes from this idea that socialism is by default good because they get free health care.
01:04:13.000 You know, they get paid paternity, maternity leave for eight years or whatever the hell it is in these Scandinavian countries.
01:04:18.000 So they think like, yeah, these people actually want these social safety benefits.
01:04:21.000 It's this big.

01:04:59.000 This brings me to key fact number two.
01:05:00.000 In the 1950s, Denmark forcibly removed 20 children from their homes in Greenland.
01:05:06.000 And I know that doesn't seem like a lot, but that's like 30% of their population.
01:05:11.000 And the goal was to sort of foster an elite to govern Greenland.
01:05:16.000 It didn't work.
01:05:16.000 In the 1950s and 1960s, the Danish government forcibly relocated coastal Greenlanders into cities.
01:05:23.000 This was aimed at consolidating the population.
01:05:26.000 Ah, they ghettoized them.

01:05:52.000 19.
01:05:54.000 That's a dad with dating teenage Eskimo daughter.
01:05:58.000 Okay.
01:05:59.000 No Eskimo kisses till you're married. 0.86
01:06:01.000 Noses at opposite ends of the room.
01:06:04.000 And here's something else.
01:06:05.000 In the 1960s, while they were relocating people, they were ghettoizing them.
01:06:08.000 Danish doctors forcibly sterilized more than 4,500 Greenlandic women.
01:06:13.000 Henrietta Bertelson was forced to learn Danish in school to submit to Danish doctors. 0.74
