00:04:16.000 Got some ABBA parodies in here.

00:04:21.000 That's what I said!
00:04:23.000 How in the world were you able to write all of those?
00:04:26.000 Fast, Gerald, real fast!
00:04:28.000 Josh, how many cups of blackout coffee have you had today?
00:04:31.000 How many cups of coffee?
00:04:33.000 Can you believe that?
00:04:33.000 How many cups?
00:04:34.000 How many cups of coffee?
00:04:34.000 I don't know.
00:04:35.000 How many cups is the bear shit in the woods, Gerald?
00:04:37.000 I have no idea how I would even know that.
00:04:40.000 Oh, yeah.
00:04:41.000 You wouldn't know that, would you?
00:04:42.000 I forgot.
00:04:43.000 You wouldn't know that.
00:04:44.000 You got no experience.
00:04:45.000 I know that.
00:04:45.000 You know why I know that?
00:04:46.000 Because I've seen things, man.

00:05:09.000 Go.
00:05:09.000 Go.
00:05:10.000 All right, whatever you say, boss.
00:05:13.000 Okay, fire.
00:05:15.000 Josh.
00:05:18.000 Go to blackoutcoffee.com slash crowder.
00:05:20.000 Use the promo code Crowder for 20% off your first order and try the new exclusive Strange Animal Brew.
00:05:28.000 Yes, I chose the beans.
00:05:30.000 It is the blend that we drink here exclusively, and now I'm making it available to you.
00:05:40.000 For today.
00:05:55.000 This is shaping up to be a bad day.
00:05:59.000 Gerald, you know I'm retarded with this.
00:05:59.000 I don't think so.
00:06:02.000 Oh.
00:06:02.000 Oh, no.
00:06:03.000 Don't worry.
00:06:03.000 Don't hear it.
00:06:04.000 Part of my routine is I always have this gum that I chew.
00:06:07.000 I can't get a tissue out.
00:06:09.000 Just spread out my gum.
00:06:10.000 Nice.
00:06:11.000 And I have to put the gum in a tissue because otherwise Joe Lewis, if he goes through the trash, you know, anything, it could be bad for him.
00:06:16.000 Thank you, sir.
00:06:17.000 I was expecting Gerald to come over with his hand open for your gum.
00:06:21.000 Don't worry, sir.
00:06:22.000 I still have plenty of tip left over.
00:06:26.000 Name that movie line.
00:06:27.000 Look.
00:06:27.000 All right.
00:06:28.000 And I have the, you like my American Psycho going on because I just got out of the shower.
00:06:32.000 Then it turns into Gentile version of Jufro.
00:06:34.000 Hold on a second.
00:06:36.000 I love that you can't get a tissue out of a box.
00:06:40.000 Because you fold it.
00:06:41.000 Oh, no, I didn't do any of this stuff.
00:06:43.000 Hey, you guys comment below.
00:06:45.000 A tissue box.
00:06:46.000 Shouldn't it have one tissue emerging from the box?
00:06:48.000 Isn't that the unwritten agreement that we have with tissue boxes?
00:06:51.000 Yeah, I think someone actually has a patent on that design.
00:06:54.000 Yeah.
00:06:54.000 So, yeah.
00:06:55.000 Exactly.
00:06:56.000 I have to be a Chilean miner to get to my tissue in the Choba?
00:07:00.000 Does that mean you're, never mind.
00:07:02.000 I can't say the word.
00:07:03.000 We're going on YouTube.
00:07:04.000 I'll say trans.
00:07:05.000 I can say that.
00:07:05.000 There we go.
00:07:06.000 Yeah, apparently.
00:07:07.000 The trans minor movie?
00:07:08.000 What?
00:07:09.000 The trans minor movie from, well, we talked about this.
00:07:11.000 Oof.
00:07:12.000 You remember that?
00:07:13.000 Never mind.
00:07:13.000 I don't.
00:07:14.000 Okay.
00:07:14.000 I don't remember it either.
00:07:15.000 So we have a lot to get into.
00:07:17.000 All the news that's not fit to print.
00:07:20.000 Some economic news.
00:07:21.000 Really good news.
00:07:23.000 I don't know if you know this, a revolution in real time in Iran.
00:07:26.000 And we have some updates on the ICE shooting.
00:07:29.000 Of course, the media has been dishonest about this.
00:07:32.000 Look, they now are saying, well, it's unclear.
00:07:35.000 Let me ask you, didn't it seem really clear when it happened, according to the mayor of Minneapolis, according to the governor of Minnesota, that it was murder?
00:07:44.000 Well, now with some of the updates I'll give you, she was an anti-ice warrior.
00:07:48.000 She was part of a group.
00:07:49.000 She was parked for three minutes.
00:07:52.000 And now it's unclear as to why she was there in the middle of the street.
00:07:55.000 We don't know.
00:07:56.000 Also, just spoil alert, confirmed this was the officer who was dragged and had to have 30-something stitches and almost lost his life.
00:08:02.000 So, all this information, but now we went from murder to hmm, I guess it's unclear.
00:08:08.000 I think it's crystal clear.
00:08:10.000 And Gerald, CEO and professional tissue robber-in-chief, is here.
00:08:15.000 Yeah.
00:08:16.000 And not underscore Josh Fireston.
00:08:18.000 He's going to be, oh, at the Irvé Theater in February, sorry, in Dallas, Texas, on February 14th.
00:08:23.000 Yes.
00:08:23.000 Valentine's Day, baby.
00:08:25.000 Yep.
00:08:26.000 Bring your dates.
00:08:28.000 It's a live show.
00:08:29.000 Weekday is 11 a.m.
00:08:30.000 We're only here on YouTube.
00:08:31.000 So you guys know that we do it every Friday, but it's a Rumble Premium exclusive.
00:08:36.000 It's a Letter to Mug Club.
00:08:37.000 We've been doing this for years now.
00:08:38.000 There is a Friday show, and it, well, most of the time, almost all our shows are live unless we have to pre-tape an interview or something like that.
00:08:44.000 What happened?
00:08:45.000 You know, it's Gerald sex tape.
00:08:46.000 Okay.
00:08:47.000 We can do that live.
00:08:48.000 It's a solo.
00:08:50.000 I'm a solo.
00:08:51.000 It's a very, very short video.
00:08:54.000 Just more of a gift.
00:08:57.000 Really, what's most remarkable is how.
00:08:59.000 Come on.
00:09:02.000 Can we make it a vine?
00:09:03.000 I don't know.
00:09:08.000 It doesn't even make the cut for YouTube short.
00:09:11.000 You have to have enough for us to fit an ad in here.
00:09:14.000 Although we do feel like there's a lot of physical space in the screen for a banner because not a lot is.
00:09:18.000 Gerald's native name would be Big Tree, Little Branch.
00:09:23.000 Never heard these before.
00:09:27.000 We remember as the sun rose many disappointed, solemn faces.
00:09:35.000 We remember the great female sky spirit as she echoed throughout the plains.
00:09:42.000 That's it.
00:09:43.000 He cries every time a magnum condom is purchased.
00:09:47.000 I was at the park with my kids, and there was a box of Trojans.
00:09:51.000 There was a box of magnums, Trojan magnums.
00:09:53.000 Oh, look, a toy.
00:09:54.000 No, it's not.
00:09:55.000 I mean, kind of.
00:09:56.000 It was an empty box.
00:09:56.000 Balloon.
00:09:59.000 And then I saw some rappers elsewhere.
00:10:01.000 So either it could also just be an incredibly thoughtful rapist.
00:10:06.000 That's true.
00:10:07.000 Stop digging in the sand now.
00:10:10.000 I wouldn't say it's a thoughtful rapist.
00:10:11.000 I'd say that's somebody who's a rapist who's not trying to get an STD.
00:10:14.000 Well, it's a considerate sex criminal.
00:10:18.000 All right.
00:10:19.000 Speaking of possibly, likely, I'm joking.
00:10:23.000 Sex criminal rapper Vic Mensa gave his thoughts on the exactly on the ICE shooting in Minnesota and also an instructional video.
00:10:35.000 It's non-expert village on how to peel in orange.
00:10:39.000 ICE just murdered a woman in Minneapolis.
00:10:41.000 ICE killed a white woman, which is interesting because obviously their rallying cry is defend the homeland.
00:10:46.000 Parentheses against niggas, Mexicans, Muslims, etc.
00:10:50.000 So why then you ask, are there so many black and brown ICE agents?
00:10:53.000 And why would they kill a blonde-haired white woman?
00:10:56.000 Because what you got to understand is that white supremacy is and always has been a front.
00:11:01.000 It's a cover for capitalists.
00:11:03.000 It'll use Uncle Tom's case and points Bell and Django and it'll kill white people.
00:11:08.000 John Brown, the famous white abolitionist, in order to keep exploiting you.
00:11:13.000 It's not and has never been about race.
00:11:16.000 Race is fictitious.
00:11:18.000 It's some shit that they made up by the pillaging of Africa for free labor and resources.
00:11:24.000 They just hyping these Trumpers up for the people.
00:11:26.000 So they're still peeling.
00:11:27.000 That free labor is what enabled America to become the richest country in the history of the world.
00:11:31.000 Race was just a justification for exterminating the Native Americans.
00:11:35.000 This stolen landmass is what enabled America to be the richest country in the history of the neighbor's tree.
00:11:40.000 And the longer the children were hating me for my race, the richer they get.
00:11:49.000 Not rich enough to afford biracial Fonzie jackets, but He said it, right?
00:11:55.000 Just like when Black Lives Matter said, and by the way, the nuclear family is a byproduct of white supremacy.
00:12:00.000 What he's really saying is, our problem is not with white supremacy.
00:12:03.000 Our problem is with you if you believe in financial freedom.
00:12:06.000 That's our problem with you.
00:12:07.000 What he's saying is, we're not actually Black Lives Matter.
00:12:10.000 We're not actually racial justice warriors.
00:12:13.000 We're socialists.
00:12:14.000 That's what he just told you.
00:12:16.000 Like Black Lives Matter, they told you, well, we're not really Black Lives Matter.
00:12:19.000 We're abolitionists of the nuclear family.
00:12:22.000 He just said that.
00:12:24.000 And the funny thing is, now he's saying race is fictitious.
00:12:27.000 And I don't think it is.
00:12:28.000 That's why I think that Henry Winkler pulled off the jacket better.
00:12:32.000 Yeah, that's true.
00:12:35.000 That's true.
00:12:35.000 He didn't have, but he has the epilepsy line.
00:12:38.000 I don't know why he said ICE is going after black people.
00:12:40.000 I haven't seen that.
00:12:41.000 No, I haven't seen that either.
00:12:42.000 Not once.
00:12:43.000 How many Somalis?
00:12:43.000 Even now.
00:12:44.000 That doesn't, I don't count that.
00:12:46.000 They're not just started.
00:12:47.000 I hear black people, I think, black Americans.
00:12:49.000 So I think I understand this.
00:12:50.000 The lady who parked her car there for three minutes and trained to block ICE officers and then ran over an ICE officer.
00:12:58.000 She was shot for capitalism.
00:13:03.000 Oh, I get it because ICE is only deporting people because of capitalism, not because they're violent sex criminals, as we've seen in many of these cases.
00:13:11.000 All right.
00:13:12.000 So, in other words, the anti-capitalist message is not only open borders, allow people who are here illegally to continue to commit crimes, correct?
00:13:21.000 We're looking at this, going, hey, isn't this kind of that it's not a white cop black perp thing?
00:13:28.000 It's a you run over a cop, you could get shot thing.
00:13:33.000 We're saying the same thing.
00:13:34.000 We're saying the same thing, except read that subtext.
00:13:37.000 It was never about Black Lives Matter.
00:13:39.000 It was about doing away with everything that has made this country different from, I don't know, African nations.
00:13:46.000 It's about doing away with everything that makes this country right now a country, like having borders, having a people, citizens.
00:13:55.000 Here's where we diverge a little bit.
00:13:57.000 I consider black Americans to be Americans.
00:14:01.000 I consider brown Americans to be Americans.
00:14:04.000 I don't consider anyone here illegally to be Americans.
00:14:07.000 So that's actually where race is relevant if we want to have that discussion.
00:14:12.000 They're moving the goalposts all the time.
00:14:15.000 They just said the quiet part out loud.
00:14:16.000 Move the goalpost.
00:14:19.000 It's not about white supremacy.
00:14:20.000 We don't actually think you're white supremacist.
00:14:22.000 We think you're a capitalist.
00:14:23.000 That's our problem.
00:14:24.000 Okay, then let's just put that all out in the open.
00:14:27.000 Now, the clip cut off too early, to be clear.
00:14:29.000 Here's how it really ends: and the longer the two concerns were hating me for my race, the richer they get.
00:14:42.000 There are 16 fresh picked oranges squeezed into each bottle of Tropicana Pure Premium.
00:14:47.000 Big orange.
00:14:49.000 He's a capitalist.
00:14:50.000 It's another ploy from Big Concentrate.
00:14:52.000 I knew he was at an orchard.
00:14:53.000 Yes.
00:14:55.000 So stupid.
00:14:56.000 Urban Orchard.
00:14:59.000 Sounds like a really bad, like hard apple cider.
00:15:05.000 Try Angry Orchard's new urban orchard.
00:15:08.000 Guaranteed to make you angrier.
00:15:11.000 Comes with a teardrop tattoo.
00:15:12.000 It does.
00:15:13.000 That's what I have when I have Angry Orchard.
00:15:15.000 I'm like, it's just, it's just reconstituted apple juice with vodka.
00:15:18.000 It's not actually cider.
00:15:19.000 It's disgusting.
00:15:20.000 All right.
00:15:22.000 I did a show in Wenatchee, Washington, Big Orchard City, and we went to this at the bar.
00:15:26.000 We were at the lady asked my wife, she goes, What kind of drink do you watch?
00:15:29.000 She goes, you have any good ciders?
00:15:31.000 I'd like to.
00:15:32.000 She goes, oh, we have this great local cider.
00:15:34.000 Oh, no.
00:15:34.000 It's made here.
00:15:35.000 It's amazing.
00:15:36.000 You're at 11.
00:15:37.000 She brings it out to Angry Orchard.
00:15:38.000 Ah, wow.
00:15:39.000 Was it made there?
00:15:40.000 I guess it's made there.
00:15:40.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:15:42.000 But like, the poor waitress, she didn't know that that was like junk, you know, bottom shelf Kroger.
00:15:47.000 What's the other mass-produced cider?
00:15:50.000 I'm trying to.
00:15:51.000 I don't know.
00:15:52.000 I know Red's apple ale is not a slazer.
00:15:54.000 One for a while.
00:15:55.000 Anyway, who cares?
00:15:56.000 All right.
00:15:56.000 It's not good.
00:15:57.000 The media, a lot happened this week.
00:16:00.000 We're going to get to ICE and the justified shooting that took place.
00:16:04.000 But you may have missed some other pretty important stories.
00:16:07.000 And you may have missed it because the media has a job to do.
00:16:11.000 And they don't.
00:16:12.000 Instead, they're concerned with trying to propagandize you and shape opinions.
00:16:16.000 Here.
00:16:17.000 The January 6th anniversary tomorrow.
00:16:20.000 It's not getting the attention it should be getting.
00:16:23.000 Is Ted Cruz the greatest threat to JD Vance, or are there others out there that could be a bigger threat?
00:16:29.000 This is clearly a president who's either out of touch with many Americans who do not want to see their president doing that, or he's a lame duck president.
00:16:38.000 He's fully aware of it and he's out of touch.
00:16:40.000 Hundreds of manatees cuddled up in one of Florida's springs to escape chilly weather, chili water, I should say.
00:16:47.000 Heated rivalry is about the competition and relationships between gay and bisexual hockey players, and it's getting an extraordinary amount of attention.
00:16:55.000 The show is fueled by intense competition, chemistry, and sex.
00:17:00.000 Well, who's the one who gets five for instigating?
00:17:03.000 Yeah, does that mean that nobody goes to the box?
00:17:06.000 Yeah, they do not go to the box.
00:17:07.000 They hate the box.
00:17:08.000 They love the sticks, though.
00:17:10.000 Yes, it's two guys, one stick.
00:17:12.000 Yeah, but when they touch, they don't take their gloves off.
00:17:14.000 No, they do not take the gloves off.
00:17:16.000 And they don't stop the interaction when someone hits the ice.
00:17:19.000 That's just getting started.
00:17:21.000 A lot of people don't know this, but the standing 69 is called high-sticking.
00:17:24.000 Yes, it is.
00:17:25.000 Yes, it is.
00:17:28.000 Let's puck.
00:17:29.000 No!
00:17:35.000 It's knuckle puck time.
00:17:38.000 Five knuckles.
00:17:42.000 When you finish, does a siren go off?
00:17:43.000 And it goes, what's the triple D?
00:17:47.000 Just, hey.
00:17:50.000 No.
00:17:51.000 All the sex, no periods.
00:17:54.000 Oh, nice.
00:17:57.000 All right.
00:17:58.000 I like this.
00:17:58.000 Wow.
00:18:04.000 I don't know if you know this.
00:18:05.000 If it goes into overtime, sudden death is just AIDS.
00:18:09.000 And it's not sudden.
00:18:12.000 But you know what?
00:18:13.000 It's an extra period.
00:18:14.000 It's prolonged, painful death.
00:18:17.000 But every game ends in a shootout.
00:18:21.000 It's always a tie.
00:18:23.000 And they finish the shootout with icing.
00:18:27.000 They go, oh, off-site.
00:18:32.000 The good news is in hockey, you can't go out of bounds.
00:18:36.000 No more high-sticking numbers.
00:18:38.000 About to be outdone in the LGBTQ sphere.
00:18:40.000 ESPN has their own series with its season premiere in May.
00:18:44.000 They're all gay.
00:18:47.000 Just the WBA.
00:18:51.000 They're all lesbians, yeah.
00:18:52.000 Oh, yeah.
00:18:53.000 We get it.
00:18:59.000 It's Friday.
00:19:01.000 Earlier, Gerald was like, yeah, because everybody in WABA is gay or trans.
00:19:05.000 And I was thinking, if they were trans, they'd be dunking.
00:19:07.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:19:08.000 Osbriners.
00:19:09.000 More men have walked on the moon than females have dunked.
00:19:13.000 It's still a stat.
00:19:15.000 Yeah.
00:19:15.000 But gender is just a figment of your imagination.

00:19:53.000 It's a blessing.
00:19:54.000 And a curse.
00:19:55.000 It's a blessing, not like slow AIDS death.
00:19:58.000 Well, that's like nature saying, you're going to stick around and warn people.
00:20:02.000 I'm going to let you survive.
00:20:06.000 It's like Genghis Khan along the survivors to tell the tale.
00:20:09.000 Except nobody listened.
00:20:10.000 Go to them, don't, don't, don't, bang man.
00:20:14.000 No booty.
00:20:15.000 All right.
00:20:16.000 So because that's what the media was focused on, there's some pretty big stories.
00:20:21.000 it's time for some of the news you may have missed so first story the economy the economic growth
00:20:46.000 This is one where you have to acknowledge Donald Trump was right in a multitude of ways.
00:20:52.000 Some ways that we couldn't have predicted.
00:20:54.000 I think we were asked about this.
00:20:56.000 We need to have a segment crowd that gets it wrong.
00:20:57.000 Remember when I said that I thought Candace Owens might pull it back?
00:21:03.000 Whoops.
00:21:06.000 Eat crow.
00:21:07.000 So in the economic news, the GDP growth this quarter, or sorry, the last quarter, Q4, 5.4%.
00:21:14.000 Wow.
00:21:15.000 And of course, you have to discount sort of COVID fluctuations.
00:21:19.000 This is actually the highest since 2006 is what we would be seeing.
00:21:24.000 Yeah.
00:21:24.000 And I believe it's been the highest overall since sometime in 2001.
00:21:27.000 So you can check those references.
00:21:29.000 Now, keep in mind, in 2013, the rules have actually changed completely as to how we can make projections with the economy.
00:21:36.000 The Obama administration, they projected no more than 3% average GDP growth.
00:21:42.000 I don't remember if this was him exactly, but it's from the government website.
00:21:46.000 Now, in the 21st century, real GDP growth in the U.S. is likely to be permanently slower than it was in earlier eras.
00:21:55.000 If I'm with him, if I'm the one leading it, you can expect it's going to be bad.
00:22:01.000 But it's not my fault.
00:22:02.000 No, it has nothing to do with him.
00:22:03.000 It's not like we had eight years of Obama, four years of Trump, four years of Biden, and now we're back.
00:22:09.000 It's not like you have very clear contrast.
00:22:11.000 The results are in.
00:22:12.000 Objectively, one approach works, one doesn't.
00:22:15.000 Trade deficit.
00:22:16.000 Well, before you do trade deficit, that's the estimate coming out, I believe, of the Atlanta Fed.
00:22:19.000 Is that right?
00:22:19.000 Okay, so the actual number will come out later.
00:22:21.000 It could be plus or minus just a tiny bit.
00:22:23.000 Just a tiny bit.
00:22:24.000 Good to mention that.
00:22:25.000 Yes.
00:22:25.000 Thank you for clarifying.
00:22:26.000 And the trade deficit, October 2025, the trade deficit is down to $29 billion.
00:22:32.000 That's the lowest since June 2009.
00:22:35.000 Wow.
00:22:35.000 Jeez, Louise.
00:22:37.000 Now, we have to get into the jobs report.
00:22:39.000 We'll probably have to do that next week.
00:22:40.000 There's a lot that goes into that and unemployment.
00:22:44.000 But I will tell you this, this is the most important metric that nobody really talks about.
00:22:48.000 So job growth.
00:22:50.000 What have we seen?
00:22:50.000 Well, obviously there's some job growth, but here's what really matters.
00:22:53.000 Native-born jobs, the job growth there, we're up 2.6 million.
00:22:58.000 So plus 2.6 million jobs.
00:23:00.000 Foreign-born jobs in the United States, down 1 million.
00:23:03.000 Yeah.
00:23:04.000 So that's a spread of 3.6 million.
00:23:06.000 You have to keep in mind that under Biden, native-born jobs from pre-COVID highs, they went down by 1.1 million.
00:23:12.000 So minus 1.1, but plus 3 million for foreign.
00:23:16.000 Let me ask you this.
00:23:16.000 This is my question.
00:23:17.000 Do you think that was by accident?
00:23:19.000 Do you think a direct flip, plus 2.6 for Americans, minus 1 million for foreigners versus Biden, minus 1.1 million for foreigners, plus 3 million, sorry, for Americans, plus 3 million for foreigners.
00:23:33.000 The exact flip.
00:23:34.000 Almost, this is about as close as you get statistically with the economy.
00:23:38.000 Does that happen by accident?
00:23:41.000 If you agree, logically, it's by design, then the only question that remains is, well, which design is better?
00:23:48.000 This is not one of those things that, well, everyone's an American.
00:23:50.000 No, which design is better?
00:23:51.000 One that favors American citizens and job growth, or one that favors people who aren't American but are receiving American dollars.
00:24:00.000 That is, you can make a decision and then make your case.
00:24:04.000 But it is by design.
00:24:06.000 There's no more arguing about that.
00:24:07.000 We also have something pretty notable.
00:24:10.000 This would be the second big story on the housing market.
00:24:13.000 Yeah.
00:24:14.000 And I think that some people in the administration, I mean, I know that some people in the administration, they do watch this show.
00:24:18.000 We always try and provide you with solutions.
00:24:20.000 So one month ago, before we went on break, I dropped a very specific six-point prescription on how to lower housing prices.
00:24:28.000 Here it is.
00:24:28.000 So let me walk you back through it.
00:24:30.000 Six-point plan, okay, just to make sure there's no misinterpretation.
00:24:34.000 Ban of purchases from institutional investors or foreign investors on single-family home units.
00:24:41.000 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 side with tax breaks, tax credits, and then incentivize first-time home buyers with a tax deduction for that first year.
00:25:06.000 Yeah.
00:25:07.000 So again, the first point was ban the purchase of single-family homes by institutional investors, namely BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street.
00:25:16.000 That was the first point.
00:25:18.000 Looks like Washington finally heard you guys, because Trump just announced on Truth, President Trump, that he was going to be actually doing that, specifically enacting a policy.
00:25:27.000 He wrote, for a very long time, buying and owning a home was considered the pinnacle of the American dream.
00:25:33.000 It was the reward for working hard, got to work hard, and doing the right thing.
00:25:38.000 But now, because of the record high inflation caused by Joe Biden, the Democrats, Congress, the American dream is increasingly out of reach for far too many people, especially younger Americans.
00:25:50.000 That's very important because those people need to hear this.
00:25:55.000 And it is for that reason, my voice is shot today, for that reason that he's going to be taking steps to ban large institutional investors from buying more single-family homes.
00:26:04.000 And he said he will be calling on Congress to codify it.
00:26:08.000 People live in homes, not corporations.
00:26:12.000 And here's the thing.
