So Don Lemon was arrested. I don't know if y'all saw this, but it happened. Federal agents arrested Don Lemon today and three other people. On charges that they violated federal law during a protest at that church in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Now It's interesting because they are looking, it's a case essentially that's been revived after it was rejected by a magistrate. A judge. who declined proceed. And now he's been arrested. A second journalist and two protesters.
And we're going to see how that I mean, this under the statute, the way it is, the Department of Justice has to prove that Don Lemon entered the church service with intent to disrupt or interfere. And I think it's guys, I think it's pretty easy to say that that was the intent. Don't we all agree? I mean, he's literally on video. talking about it.
And the statute He's being charged with 18 USC 241. which is listed as the conspiracy to deprive rights Additionally, with 18 USC 248, which is violation of the FACE Act, Ironically, the KKK hacked. interfering by force of someone's First Amendment right. The Attorney General Pam Bondi tweeted about this today. Don Lemon.
Tahern Cruz, Georgia Fort, and Jamil Lundy. in connection with this church. And so I've seen already people like Jim Acosta go out and say, oh my gosh, you can't, you know, you're violating his free speech. He was violating the church. Congregants free speech.
by attacking them. And I think it's completely justifiable, honestly, when you look at the video and then when you hear all of the other stuff that is even worse than some of the things that you've seen in the video. How the adults were getting these adult rioters were getting in the face of kids and saying to your do you know your parents are Nazis? Do you know you go to a Nazi church? I mean, that's came I mean, they that came out during the investigation because the other one of the protesters was telling the the investigators verbatim what they were saying.
Additionally, it was picked up on cameras.
So It is, this isn't about journalism. It stopped. He's not a journalist. He's like giving hugs to the protest. Uh, coordinator before this even started.
I mean, he's on video talking about it. He went in seriously with the intent to disrupt.
So, this guy's not a journalist. He's not a journalist. He wasn't doing journalism. He was being an activist. Let's stop.
I mean, journalism, this idea that these people are all like very You know, innocent little Reporters has always been a lie. That's not how Journalism even began. Journalism always began as a, it began as a dirty business. And you're supposed to be able to use your discernment to figure out what's true and what isn't. But to have this You know this The stuff that he was doing.
And, you know, these charges, I think it's going to, you know, gonna stick. He was at the. what he was accused of doing is what he absolutely did. He thought that he was going to be untouchable because he's seen the left be untouchable with this stuff for so long. You know they got him at the Grammys.
He was at the Grammy Awards. He apparently had been covering it for his YouTube channel because I know that whenever I want to see coverage of YouTube, or or Grammy stuff. I go to a 60-year-old man who lives in New York. And I don't know what he listens to, but I bet he thinks Green Day's punk. That's the first guy I go to for all my musical knowledge.
Just like I go to Joe Biden talking about keeping burglars off your balcony. I don't know.
So they had to get the arrest warrant, and I'm curious as to how they did because. The judge in the chief judge of Minneapolis didn't want to go along with it. The Eighth Circuit. Uh they had a demand. They were wanting uh They were looking to get a judicial warrant early next week.
So I don't know if they got an indictment from a grand jury. I um I mean, I guess that's how they got it.
Now he's already hired. Guess who Hunter guess who Dunleman hired? He hired Abby Lowell. Why does that name sound familiar to you? That's Hunter Biden's attorney.
Abby Lowell is the guy who tried arguing that Hunter Biden Uh was having his Second Amendment rights violated. when he was high as a flipping kite. and bought a gun. Yeah.
So Abby Lowell was like, John Lemon has been a journalist for 30 years. And his constitutionally protected work in Minneapolis was no different. No, really, like when he got up into this preacher's face, ran into the church service. That's not journalism. You're being an anti-Christian bigot is what you're being.
Goodness. Man, Don Lemon's going to be broke after this is over because Abby Lowell is expensive. Thousands of dollars an hour, this guy. But First off. Don Lemon wasn't, it's not Don Lemon's First Amendment rights that are in question here.
Part of the First Amendment is the protection of the freedom of religious expression. And so when you're sitting in a church and you're worshiping and you're attending church services, that is part of participating with religious expression. You cannot interrupt. You can't just bust into a private on private property. go into a church service, and then interrupt the service.
and stick cameras in the faces of minors. And adults and demand these like man on the street type QA. and then act like you're being denied if they don't immediately stop and accommodate you. And the fact that he was outside, like gaming, gaming, pregaming, all of this. And talking to, he was hanging out with the rioters, giving them hugs.
He gave the leader of the whole thing a kiss on the cheek. I mean, he's. He was out there with them because he was one of them. By the way, the other thing too is the KKK Act. which all of this falls under.
And the FACE Act? None of those have exemptions. For people who are journalisming.
Okay. There's no journalist exemption. Cam. You can't just like bust up and You know, if he was really a journalist for thirty years he would know that. And that's That's yeah, I mean he all of these statutes None of them he can avail himself of the criminality.
And it's all on video. I mean he's What happened beforehand, you could say was conspiratorial. that he was conspiring with these people. to bust up into the church building and harass them. and they were talking about making them feel uncomfortable.
They were like openly, stupidly, openly talking about it in the video. He was standing outside before they ran in.
So that That That's conspiracy, that you were conspiring with these people before you walked in.
So he isn't he um Does he appear in federal court today? Dunlaman isn't even going to have his arraignment. Or something later. Yeah, I don't know what time. But I think it's I think it's them.
I'm saying. It's just not it's not journalism. That's not journalism. And it's not a First Amendment, Don Lemon's First Amendment was an attack. He attacked the First Amendment.
of the people who were sitting in the church. They were impeding on their First Amendment rights. They were interrupting their church service, private property, and harassing them. It was their First Amendment that was abridged here. And he thinks he's untouchable.
This is him talking to that pastor. This is cut seven. Watch this. This is when Don Lemon. Was pushing on these congregants.
He says this is journalisming. Watch this, this is cut seven. I have no affiliation to that organization. I didn't even know they were going to this church until we followed them there. We were there chronicling protests.
Once the protest started in the church. But he was in the parking lot beforehand and they were pregaming it. He's in the parking lot before they went in. and they were pregaming. There was a video where he was where he was going after uh this pastor in his face.
So Don't sit here and tell me that this was. You know, oh, I just heard about it and I decided to cover it. You took part in it. Look, this is taking part in it. This is what I'm talking about.
This is participating. What do you think of this? I mean this is unacceptable. It's shameful. It's shameful to interrupt a public gathering of Christians in worship.
But there are folks who will say, I have to take care of my flock. Listen, we live in a there's a constitution in the First Amendment to freedom of speech and freedom to assemble and protest. We're here to worship. We're here to worship Jesus because that's the hope of these cities. That's the hope of the world is Jesus Christ.
Be very respectful. Please don't push me, though. We're here to worship Jesus. We're getting in his face. Don Lemon's getting in his face, and the guy's like putting up his hand to guard his space.
And don't push me. You giant pansy. Don Lemon isn't a journalist, he's a political prostitute. Don Lemon isn't a journalist. He's a far-left douchebag who got run out of cable news and now he's trying to grift off the internet.
He came to where all the rest of us have been in the trenches for years. We made the internet our home. He feels like he's been relegated to it. He feels like it's a demotion.
So he got kicked off his super flashy set and he doesn't have a job at a big network and so he pulls stuff like this. He's got to fill those coffers. You know, the party lifestyle's expensive to maintain. Don't push me. You trespassed on our private property to disrupt our services.
You're lucky you didn't get shot. There's no defense of this. There's no defense of this. Oh my gosh, another Nepo baby. This is cut five.
She only has this job because of who her dad was, because God knows she can't host a show. Mika Brzezinski, cut five. And being charged for it. That is not. Did he conduct interviews inside the I mean I know the protest was happening and so he followed the protest in to cover the story.
At any point, did he take part in? Yeah, we'll see if we have footage here, but he did. He interviewed some of the protesters, he interviewed some of the parishioners, he interviewed, I think he tried to talk to the minister at one point. Mm. Hmm.
Now this is them trying to Say You know, who is a journalist and who isn't, who is and who isn't a journalist. These are the same people that get mad at Nick Shirley. These are the same people that are like, Nick Shirley's not a legitimate journalist. Nick Shirley's done actual more investigative journalism than Don Lemon could ever conceive of. Mika Brzezinski.
Mika Brzezinski, they always have to put her with a bunch of people because her personality is less than a piece of cardboard.
So they always have to put her, they either have to have her husband because she, God knows she can't host a show on her own, or they have to put her with a bunch of people. Because she has the personality of cardboard.
Well, I mean Owe was following them in? Way to repeat what the guy just said is a way to fill time.
Now I guess, so the yeah, the DO, the grand jury, which they could have done in the first place instead of going through that judge. which is really what they should have done in the first place. they did decide to indict.
Now, I think that's incredibly telling. 'Cause you can't get all mad and jump on the admin administration for that. You all know how grand juries work, right? They got a bunch of people, random people, and they decided there was enough there to amount to an indictment.
So that says something. We're going to talk more about that coming up as we move. Folks over at Burn A Gun, I'm always going to carry, I have no problem using the lethal force. No issue. But I also want to diversify what I have in terms of my weapons array.
I mean, think about it. You're a college kid living alone, or maybe, you know, you're under 21 and just living alone. And you wanna make sure that you can protect yourself. You know, if you're walking to your home or walking to work or wherever. And a lot of times, you know, you got a lot of these state, local, municipal restrictions that they won't give you security.
They won't put extra law enforcement on the street, but you are a greater victim because of their restorative justice policies. You got to do something about your protection.

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the United States. We just want to be able to ascertain What more can they be doing to ensure that all parties who fall in love with this baby. Know of her existence and to be able to secure their embryos that they Door with the defendant. Court documents show the baby girl was born in December through IVF from the fertility center of Orlando.
Soon after, the parents who were white realized the baby is not. And genetic testing revealed the little girl isn't theirs. The couple is now begging for answers from the clinic and Dr. Milton McNichol, who they say implanted the embryo.
So that we can find. And secure the remaining embryo or embryos, and so that we can notify the genetic parents of Shay of her existence. During a virtual emergency hearing on Wednesday, the couple's attorney laid out seven requests, including getting the clinic to pay for genetic testing of any child born under the clinic's care in the past five years. We're trying to both identify who got the patient's embryos, as well as we're trying to identify. And this is so to clear, so the parents.
That child is not the genetic child of either of them. It wasn't even her embryo.
So it was someone else's embryo. It wasn't even hers.
So neither of them have any genetic relation. It's not like some people go, was she stepping out? She can't. She can't have a baby. That's why she had to do I IV or she couldn't step out.
And it's not her embryo. Their embryos apparently went somewhere else. And the reason they love her, and they would, I mean, they would like to keep her and raise her, but here's why they're trying to fight this. because technically they have no legal claim to this baby. And they don't want the genetic parents to show up.
and they very well could, and take her. There's nothing stopping those genetic parents from showing up and saying that baby's ours, even after like five years. There's nothing stopping them. That's why they're like, we've got to find this out, because how could you live? Loving and raising this child as your own.
With this sort of Damocles, so to speak, over your head, where you have no idea whether or not. That child's, the parents are going to show up at any moment. and claim her. And then there's also the fear, well, who has their baby? Right?
They're her embryo, her husband's DNA, everything, them, who has their baby. That's the other thing. They're trying to find both of these out. It's not like. You know, they and they she gave an interview where she was like, you know, we would love to keep her and raise her.
We love her. But they're terrified. that any moment. The genetic parents are going to step forward and claim her.
So they're trying to figure that out who those people are. And that clinic, I'm sorry, but that guy looks like a Dave Chappelle character. I would not go to a clinic with a doctor who literally looks like he stepped off a soundstage from a Dave Chappelle skit. He does, he looks like that. Come on.
He didn't look like a serious dog. I don't know.
I'm just picky, but. He just looks like I don't know. Goofy. But I feel so bad for them. That's crazy.
Yeah, I love how, well, and soon after. They noticed. Oh, though they did, did they? They noticed soon after, not right away. I mean, I'm wondering if there is, you know.
a couple of you know a a black couple that you know had a white baby The soon after? What? What do you mean soon after? You gotta know that stuff immediately. But they're just terrified.
They're so scared that. That And I would be too, that the parents would just come in. You know, after you raise this child and the parents come and they could take her away, because as it is, they have no legal claim over her right now. That's so sad. I can't believe that clinic didn't even respond to them for like months.
They had to go to the press. That's the only way they could get anything done. That's so sad. We have more on the way, including some of the latest with Minnesota. And the Don Lemon arrest, the media reaction.
Oh, suddenly now they're interested in free speech. Stick with us. Folks who don't make the program possible, it's the people over at Webroot. Look, everybody does so much online. I mean, good grief.

Sunday mornings are sacred. I've got my game day routine. coffee, jersey laid out, and my lucky playlist. But the real game changer? New morning uncrustable sandwiches.

Come to DSW for the shoes, stay for the fun. Because let's be honest. If shoe shopping isn't fun, are you even doing it right?
So go ahead, try something new, try something different. Good difference. Try something that feels like you. You know, the real you. And then definitely brag about it later.
Because at DSW, you've got unlimited freedom to play. Find the shoes that get you at prices that get your budget at DSWstores or at dsw.com. Let us surprise you. Welcome back to the program top of the second hour. A lot to discuss today because we got Don Lemon has been arrested.
You've got government shutdown, which if they don't get anything going through by Saturday evening, that's we're well on our way.
So we're going to get into all of that and more. But. This whole uh issue of the Free speech. You can't bust up into a private and private property and disrupt a private church service and scream and intimidate people and act like that's journalism. I mean, you literally made yourself the story.
That's not journalism. That's agitation. One of those writers, Nakima Armstrong, she was arrested. She was arrested. Listen to her talk.
This is cut eight. Good night. We have belly chains around our waists. And we had handcuffs with bars in the middle. As someone who majored in African American studies, I can tell you that that is the closest I ever felt to slavery in my life.
Being shackled. As if. I was a slave. It is unacceptable and unconscionable, but it's on brand for a white.
So you want Racial preferential preferential racial treatment. You think you should be able to bust up. Imagine if you had people bust up into a mosque. Mm. How would that go?
What if Don Lemon went into a mosque? How do you think that would have worked out? Oh, they don't do that because nobody wants to get their damn heads chopped off, that's why.
So they go target churches. This woman is a is a Racial grievance LARPE. The closest I've ever been to slavery was having to listen to this tubby broad sit here and talk about how she had to be, how she got in trouble because she trespassed and was screaming and intimidating churchgoers. I love how she tries to qualify it as an African-American studies expert. I think we all are at this point.
No, you acted like the slave master, lady. You busted up into a church and you weren't going to allow free people to worship, just like a slave master would. You should congratulate yourself. Moving on up. Ridiculous.
Going in there and intimidating these people like that.
Now, the new thing that they're doing is they're trying to say, well, John Lemon's a journalist. These are the same people that said that Nick Shirley was not a journalist. These are the same people that get super upset. If you are an independent journalist and you go out and you bust somebody on the left. They get super mad about that.
Remember the Planned Parenthood story? Where There was this undercover video where they were selling Planning Parenthood was selling baby parts. David DeLeighton. Kamala Harris, when she was AGO California, went after David DeLeiden. David DeLeiden was the guy who got all the undercover video.
that showed that Planned Parenthood was taking Organs and parts of aborted babies, and they were selling them on the black market. for insane profit. And he uncovered that. And they've been trying to bury him and drown him with lawfare ever since. But everyone was saying, Oh, that's not that's not reporting.
David DeLeidon isn't a reporter. It's only a reporter when they want you to be a reporter. This is one of the problems with the. What was it, the Fairness Act? What was it that some of these clueless people talk about reins reins?
Instituting. Yeah, fairness doctrine.
Well, part of the fairness doctrine is ch people like Chuck Schumer back, and this was like five years ago, he was talking about having the government approve who is and who isn't a journalist. Democrats have been wanting to do that forever, just like they've been wanting to nationalize police, they want to nationalize the press. They have always wanted to be able to determine who is or isn't a journalist. And this is one I see them all coming together to attack this. Oh, well, he's a journalist, but all these other people aren't.
Nick Shirley uncovered the biggest story of taxpayer theft in American history. He should be getting a Pulitzer, and he's not, because these people are ridiculous. All these institutions, for instance, how long have I been in broadcasting? Number one female in radio. I don't like to say female, I like to be just number one.
But the Women Broadcasters Association won't even look my way. has never looked my way, never ever once. Because I'm a conservative. And because it's a BS organization of a bunch of stupid, talentless broads who only wish they could have a quarter of other people's success, and that's okay.
So This is, they've always tried to control and gatekeep these institutions. Nick Shirley can't be. Can I just be honest? I don't even know if Nick Shirley's a conservative. Do we even know I don't care, but I'm just saying.
You don't know because he never made himself the focus of the story. He always went in and was trying to figure out: okay, is this the institution that says it's? The Learing Center? Is this the The medical transport company, he's always made it about the story. Kaine says that he stated that he's not either a Republican or Democrat.
So, they don't even know what he is. They just don't like that his work. has uncovered Democrat shenanigans. That's what it's all about. They don't like that.
It hurt them.
So they don't like it. Hmm.
Well, that's too damn bad, I guess. Too bad. I keep seeing, but you got everybody from ABC, NBC, oh my gosh, all these people trying to defend this. And um Unfortunately. It is press.
Press has always been independent. The press always, it began that way.
Now, Philly D.A. Larry Krasner, remember this guy? We played this audio of him, was it yesterday or day before, where he was calling ICE agents Nazis and basically saying that you got to go get them.
Well, he's doubled and tripled down on it. This is cut 10. Listen to this guy is a DA. He's a Soros-backed DA. Listen to how insane he is.
There are some people who are all in. On a fascist takeover of this country, who do not like the comparison to what happened. in Nazi Germany. But the point I was making is actually very straightforward. When you kill people.
We can hunt you down and bring you to justice in 10 years or 20 or 30 years, just like what happened with the Golden State Killer. Who was a serial killer in California? That's how it worked. It worked that way with the Nazis, but it also works with all kinds of other criminals who commit terrible crimes. But couldn't you have made that point without comparing them to Nazis?
Why would I do that? The reality is they're taking almost everything they do out of the Nazi playbook. Like how? Are they? Because your party is the only one going after Jews, dude.
You guys wouldn't even have Josh Shapiro on your presidential ticket 'cause he was Jewish. You guys are the ones that have been back in Hamas. You guys are the ones that have been sucking up the Hezbollah. I mean, come on, what are y'all talking about? I just think it's funny.
Don't sit here and tell me that you're like not an anti-Semite, and then you sit here and compare. Jewish people to the murderers and rapists and pedophiles that are convicted that have Ice detainers on them that ICE is responding to. When you have to sit here and use the Holocaust as a cudgel, Because you're too stupid. I don't even know how this guy's a DA. Larry Krasner is one of the dumbest boomers I've ever seen in my life.
He deserves no courtesy. I mean, that's ridiculous. You know what? If he probably had more testosterone and he was maybe five inches taller, he'd probably be a woman beater. But as it is, I don't even think he he can lift a piece of sandwich bread.
I'm taking all comers today, just you know, throw my way. And that, yeah, I can't. I can't. This guy, he's this is the part of the rhetoric that's the problem. Part this is makes it all part of the problem.
Oh boy, Jane Fonda. Do we want to dare we? Dare we with this one? All our Vietnam vets are getting ready to throw stuff at the wall.
Sorry dudes.
So this is Jane Fonda. Jane Fonda, all of a sudden, thought you would be interested in hearing her anti-ice message. Let me just read this to you, how it's listed on my audio rundown real quick. Jane Fonda's anti-ICE message inserts internal lesbian anger, which also tells her there's still time for her to turn lesbian. What?
Could play this. Play this right now. I'm Jane Fonda. And I'm Jane Fonda's internal lesbian anger. What?
I'm not sure. There's still time, Gene. There's still time. I've been fighting injustices like these for a very long time. She's been fighting s ⁇ like this for like a hundred years, everybody.
Oh, let's not go that far. 70? 70? That's better. She's been fighting s ⁇ like this for like 70 years, everybody.
So I'm here to remind you to exercise your First Amendment rights. Fight for the Constitution, b ⁇ . Freedom of speech. Speak the f ⁇ . Freedom of speech.
She's like a moral. It's time to be brave and stand up. Enough is enough. Hi, Granny. Jane, that was really good.
What she said. I can't tell if Jane Fond is angry or not because her face is stretched tighter than a pool covering for winter. I can't tell. Snare drum. Yeah, her face is stretched more tauter than a skin over a snare.
Her face is stretched so far. It's like watching an angry, white, fat progressive in leggings. That's how fun, that's like the level of stretchness that we're seeing here. That is a hell of a stretch.
So, uh Man, she's alive still. Isn't she like two hundred and ten? Getting there. She was old when she was out in Vietnam with the commies. and love and the attention.
Goodness. I don't even think she's a great actress. Again, she can't emote. She has the same Zoolander look for everything. I bet she has to get her eyebrows tattooed on because otherwise they'd be up in her hairline.
I'm going to be done at some point. I just, not now.
So What what is this that we got a First Amendment? What are you talking? Nobody's talking about your First Amendment. What the hell does that have to do with rapists, pedophiles, and murderers that have ice they're convicted and they got ice detainers on them? Do people just like making up stuff to argue?
Oh my gosh, ICE is getting rid of this convicted murderer that came in from El Salvador. Where's my First Amendment? What? Fascist. You need a dictionary, a better surgeon, and Jesus.
That's what you need, Jane Vonda. Uh-huh. Oh, but there's so much more. And then there's, I'll save this. Ronald McDonald's mother, Kathy Griffin.

This is called grooming. Shut up. Yeah.

She doesn't name them, but she said there were a lot of deals that were being cut. I would like to know who those people were. Just saying. Apple sales surge 16% staggering iPhone demand.
I didn't go out and get the new iPhone because I think it's ugly. I think it's dumb and I don't want the whole top half of my phone to look like that.
So out of spite, I'm not gonna do it until they make it go back. I'm not gonna get the new because it's dumb looking. It's dumb.
So they said that the company though, people are going out and buying them. The camera, there's nothing different with a camera. There's nothing different. They just, let's move this over here and act like we boosted the power. 16% though.
Staggering the iPhone demand. They found the strongest results in China where they love ugly, stupid phones.
So that works. And Hong Kong, sales in the region surged thirty eight percent.

You're seeing what they're doing to us on the streets.
But they are doing the same thing through the courts and their power of the agencies to defund all of state government to make it yes, we are the most generous state in the country with benefits and things like that. Did we have some people steal from us? Yes, and we put them in jail. They use it as an excuse to dismantle a progressive functional state. that's some of the highest quality of life.
Yeah, some people steal from some people steal from us. You know, we're the most generous. You're not generous. You steal taxpayer dollars from people and then you redistributed it to all of your Islamist Democrats. finance your Buddies, that's exactly what you did.
We're the most generous I mean, you are the most generous in the State.
So You know, it's like if just you some people steal us, some people steal from us, but yeah, yeah, they're in jail. They're actually not in jail. There's only a small fraction of them that were actually convicted and charged. I mean, the rest are just running out there still scamming everybody, as we saw from Nick Shirley's reporting.
So I can't believe. Yeah, I mean, we're the most generous and every. Imagine bragging about how much of your taxpayer dollars that you waste and trying to. try to dress it up as generosity. I love it.
I mean, I love being generous with other people's money. It's so easy. I would love to give you $100. Can you write him a check for $100? Yeah, it's very easy very easy to be generous with other people's money.
He's a fruit loop. I think it's hysterical that he tells everybody, I'm not running. I'm not running again, because he couldn't. Because he's implicated in all of this. This guy got fat cash to taxpayer dollars.
from all of these little scammed groups out there. I mean, I can't believe that's a sound bite. Did some people steal from us? Yeah, I mean, you know, they did. That is an ad, Republican Party.
Where is the RNC at, you dipwads? But I remember when they were denying the fraud. Don't you remember those days when there was no fraud at all and they were like, Wait, what are we even talking about? There's no fraud, what? And now it's we're in that phase of, well, there's fraud, but you know, we're generous.
I mean, but we're generous though. I mean, yeah, there's fraud. Yeah.
Okay, that's bad. The RNC needs to be making ads about that. Where are they at? What are they doing? RNC should be making ads about this stuff.
This should be an ad every day. Democrats wasting your money. I mean, yeah, we're generous. Did some people steal? Yeah, yeah, they did.
Yeah.
Cut it at that. I felt like I was watching a scene from Stepbrothers, right? That's what it feels like whenever I watch Tim Walls. He's a helmet. I just put a helmet on him.
Just insane. This is just I can't I'm just trying to get around the fact that he That was a s that's a real sound bite. Pretty unbelievable.
Now Apparently Chuck Schumer. took to the Senate floor. And he he decided to speak about Don Lemon. and journalisming. This has cut twenty seven.
Now they didn't do this again with David DeLight and they didn't do it with Nick Shirley. But Don Lennon though, listen. on another issue. Last night, federal agents arrested journalist Don Lemon in Los Angeles after he recently covered protest activities in Minnesota. Once again, The administration is behaving no differently from police states.
and authoritarian regimes across history. They've arrested a journalist for the crime of doing his job. And let's be very clear. This arrest is not just about one journalist in one incident. The arrest is a dark message to journalists everywhere.
If you dare criticize this administration, Watch your back. That's not a democracy. That's a police state. and that that is pure authoritarian bile. Democracy will suffer.
You have to do it. I'm so done.
So. Don Lemon was not behaving like a journalist. He was behaving like a protester, and he rushed up into the church and decided to cause problems, intimidate, harass, and scream. We played these videos. Stop acting like this is journalism.
I'm so tired of these people. Just like, oh, it's a mostly peaceful protest. It's journalism in. It's journalism. Kane, you made a good point.
He had no they didn't None of this. All the they had no concern for journalism on all of the people that were independent journalists and otherwise that were arrested, harassed. targeted On J six, Like, not at all. There was no concern for the First Amendment. James O'Keefe.
No concern for me. It's unreal. And people can't see how two-faced. The Democrats are with every speech they come out with in the front of the media or on the floor of the House or the Senate. It's unbelievable.
They don't care about the truth anymore. It's not important to them. They care only about a narrative push to the end, which is them in power. Yeah, that's what it's all about. And I you know what's funny?
So I saw TMZ, they're attacking Nicki Minaj because what did Nicki Minaj call Don Don Lemon? Hold up. They said she used a homophobic slur on him. Uh Hang on, let me look at this because I am I am dying laughing if it's what I think it is. Uh Typing this in here.
They said oh yeah, they're all mad at her. She doubles down on homophobic slur at Don Lemon. before his arrest.
Well What was the slur? Sugar? Um They asked her, they go, is there anything you'd like to say to Don Lemon? And she laughed and I don't know how to say this, Kane. Yeah, I know you know.
A male copulatory organ consumer. That's as close as we're getting. She said that. Stop. That's what she said.
Alright. Yeah.
Yeah, that's as close as we're gonna get.
Now Question. She called him The noun for activity. Yes. Yeah.
Now we're all confused.
Now we're all confused.
This is news. How do I do this? If a lollipop was made out of rooster. Yeah, okay, you don't need to go further with that.
Okay, I think that does it, though, right?
Okay. We're good? Yeah, okay.
Okay. So. Yeah.
Okay. Yeah.
Now my question is this. How is it a slur? When that's what you do. I mean. That's like saying, Dana, are you a cat?
I'm a casual gamer, but like, are you a gamer?
Well, yes, I am that er because I do game.
So if the So He does that. That's not a slur. Really looking for an off-ramp here. There is none, Kane. Bought the ticket.
the ride. That's not a slur. Oh, do you like writing skateboards? Yes, you're a skateboarder. Yeah.
So how is that a slur? It's an observation? A slur? Unless you think That you being an err of that activity, is a bad thing. Then and only then could you misconstrue that as a pejorative, right?
Yeah.
True. Do you like beating wives? You might be a wife beater. See? Do you like engaging in this?
Intimate practice with a male copulatory organ, then you might be that er. I'm just saying, you know, that's not a slur, it's an observation. Don't sit here and act like there's hurt feelings now, these people that act so big and bad. gonna bust up into church and go after you know why? 'Cause no Christian's gonna cut your head off.
That's why. Although I wish that they had better security there, I gotta be honest. But no, no Christian is gonna go and cut your head off for that. You want to be real big and ballsy? Try busting up into a mosque and see how well that goes for you.
Yeah, try that. Let's do that. Let's have John Lemon buy that ticket and take that ride. Let's do that. Muslims don't like those kinds of errors.
Oh, man. I can't even.
Alright, the people in the chat are not helping because. Woof. Oh, not gonna say that. Really want to. Not gonna do it though.
They're not helping with these things that I really want to say on AR because they're clever. Where can people see the chat, Dana?
Well, right now it's at Rumble, but I don't like Rumble. Because they suppress us because we're not one of the owners. It's a true story. Uh yeah, that's they're so I they just want to go after Nikki Minaj because she's at because she was at the White House, that's all. They're going after her because she was at the White House and now she's got to pay, so they're going to come after her.
What are you going to send the rainbow people? I'm just gonna have you heard her music? Because pretty sure she doesn't care. Just saying. Pretty sure she doesn't care, and also pretty sure that her base doesn't care either.
You know, don't think her base cares. That's you're not gonna you're not gonna guilt her into this So now we're going to gatekeep. What is a journalist? Do you remember back when. Let me go back.
This was back when Ashley Biden Left her weirdo fetish diary in the mattress of a flop house, a drug flop house, remember that? And somebody found it. And then somehow James O'Keefe got a hold of it. And then the FBI was like, that's not, or the Bidens kept saying, that's not Ashley Biden's diary. But here's the FBI to raid your houses and take it anyway.
Remember when all that happened? Where was the defense? You literally had journalists' homes who were raided. By law enforcement. for on behalf of drug addicted Ashley Biden.
Mm-hmm. Where was the cries for the free press and free speech and fascism then. They actually had to use Secret Service and FBI to babysit. his middle-aged drug-addicted kids. That's what part of our tax dollars went for.
He's walking Scaby meat sacks. That's what they, I mean, they're sentient scabies. That's, that's, they had to have FBI and Secret Service babysit them. But they raided journalists' homes. Oh my gosh, Chad, I can't say that either.
Oh my god.
Well, the other one I might might be able to work that in. might be able to work that one in. The Richard one? Yeah.
That one that sounds cool.
Sounds very formal. That dare I say that almost sounds respectable. Smoker, Richard Smoker. That what's that what if that's a man's name? Separate from the Don Lemon being called a slur by Nicki Minaj.
I'm just saying. And again, it's not a slur if it's an observation. It's not a slur if you do it. We have more. I have no idea what happened.
It's Friday. That's what happened. It's Friday, and it's going to get really cold again, so you're just going to indulge us. We have more on the way. I could come back to this though.
It's news. January is when a lot of people finally stop and look at their money. And instead of chasing big predictions or the next hot thing, they just want something solid.

So, Florida Man robbed three stores at gunpoint, and then, as he was fleeing, crashed right into a telephone pole. He didn't get very far. Not at all. WFLA says a Florida man led law enforcement on a chase, Marion County. This was on Tuesday.
He entered a family dollar pointed. Why do people rob family dollars? Family dollar? for crying out loud. He pointed a gun at the store clerk, demanded money, left the store, entered a shoe station.
I guess they sell sh sell shoes. And then he entered a Murphy oil gas station. And then again, he held that person at gunpoint, held the shoe store person at gunpoint to rob them and then tried to flee the scene and ran right into a pole. Uh Carmel. I was a nature helped.
Right, there's a little bit of a A little bit of a godsmack right there, I would say. Let's see. A. Ooh, that one's nasty. Let me do this one real quick because that one, this is the saddest headline ever.
A Florida man bought a stripper. Flowers and chocolates with fake money. That's everything about this is sad. It's like the What is it? The world's shortest story.
Wasn't it Hemingway? It said baby shoes for sale, never used. Yeah.
World's saddest story. Or is it Florida man buys stripper flowers and chocolates with fake money. That's probably going to be the world's shortest story now. Alexander DePugh. Thought he could buy his way into a dancer's heart.
32-year-old spent $300 in movie prop money at a Clearwater Forest. To get a spread of chocolates and flowers for a woman at Oasis Cabaret. Mr. DePue handed over 15 counterfeit $20 bills to cover $288. And then It wasn't until he left that the florists saw that the bills were marked replica and not legal tender.
Yeah, so he headed to the Uh, strip club, he tried to pay his bar tab with some more of the fake money. They were a little wiser, though, at the club. And they're like, Yeah, we're really good at spotting fake stuff, whether it's on stage or it's this cache. And uh They weren't falling for it. They immediately called the police.
And when the police arrived, they found another $400 in fake cash in his pockets. And so He uh said that, yeah, I did it because I wanted to give this dancer flowers and chocolates. When they looked in his car too, they found all kinds of methamphetamine and everything.
So he's being held on a $21,000 bond. But did the stripper get the chocolates and flowers though? Or was that like evidence? Yeah.
I'm curious, did it ever make it to her? Whatever happened to that? Probably yeah, but it You think? Oh yeah.
So that's the saddest, probably the saddest story. Uh let's see. Oh. Ex-husband's plural. Florida woman is accused of killing ex-husbands.
Oh man. Across Tampa Bay. Man, she looks like she'd kill you. I was looking at this lady's mug shot. I just need to start a service where you send me a photo of a woman, and I'm going to tell you straight up whether or not she's crazy just from one photo.
Just have her look at the camera, have decent lighting. And I'll tell you if she's crazy by looking at her. I should do that as a service. I'd save a lot of people a lot of time and money. Uh but she's accused of murdering her ex-husbands, plural, two of them.
She was Susan Avalon. She's fifty one. She looks a hell of a lot older than that. She waived her arraignment, entered plea for jury trial. Manatee County, they arrested her after she was masquerading as a Panera food delivery driver.
She shot one ex husband and then uh that both of them in December. They 911 was called on one of them, and the guy before he passed away told law enforcement he was, he described the way she looked. And when they go, well, do you know who it could have been? He told, he said, quote, possibly my ex-wife, Susan.
So, and their 15-year-old daughter was there at home when she shot and killed her ex-husband, her daughter's father. That's crazy. So, they uh and the daughter's super traumatized, so the mother's taken into custody, but yeah. She does look nuts. I'm telling you, they all have a look, dudes.
They all got a look, every one of them. And a uh Florida teen was arrested after a high-speed chase ended with a crash into a mail truck. Like M A I L M A I L, not like a mail truck for Don Lemon. Uh yeah, he's in trouble, this dude, uh, teenager. We got more in store.

We're at the top of this third hour. We've been talking about a lot of stuff. I'll get into the Don Lemon thing, and of course. Journalisming, the latest with Minnesota, and then you got the government shutdown that looms Saturday. And then it came out today that Catherine O'Hara passed away, 71 years old.
That's a shocking thing. She was the mom in Home Alone. She was the voice of Sally and Nightmare Before Christmas. She was in Schitt's Creek. She was also in, oh my gosh, everything.
All of the Christopher Guest films. Christopher Guess is Jamie Lee Curtis' husband, so he did a mighty wind and all that stuff. Uh she was in All of his movies. She did, I mean, gosh, all kinds of stuff. I'm like trying to think of what she didn't do.
Waiting for Guffman. Uh all the Beetlejuice movies, Home Alone. Um what else? Frank and Weenie, where the wild things are, everything. And then she was in that sitcom.
And she got started through Second City, which was like a comedic. Company. And it's like all of the really good people out of the 80s got started at Second City because you had Eugene Levy, Joan Rivers. Uh John Candy, Mike Myers, John Belushi. Uh Ackroid.
Sidaikis, Steve Corell. Uh, Bill Murray, all these people got started at a second city.
So she's had a really long career. She used to be the understudy for Gilda Radner on SNL, too. But um Yeah, that's wow, 71.
So now Kana and I were talking. Rule of three. How does that work? Yeah.
Well, typically celebrities, and this is a grandmother's role. Yeah, it's kind of an old wives' tale, but it's. Kind of true. I mean, I've experienced it as true many, many times, where a celebrity passes away, and then within two weeks of that celebrity passing, two other celebrities die.
So within a two-week period, Typically, the rule of three is that three celebrities will pass away.
So, Catherine O'Hara today. Yeah, I'm looking at Because you have to know that it can't just be like a celebrity that somebody else knows that you don't. Right.
So, who possibly could qualify was the Grateful Dead guy? That passed away recently. Scott Adams, probably. I would say s for me, Scott Adams, Valentino and Catherine Adams. Yeah, 'cause the Bob Weir guy, I mean, I guess that sounds but the Grateful Devil, I didn't really know.
There's the same. Like some of these other Sly Dunbar. I'm like, I don't know. I don't know.
Don't know. Yeah, the rest of them are celebrities that are.
Some drag queen? I don't know.
I've never heard of.
Some other dude? I don't know.
This dude. Maybe maybe the uh uh guy who was in Scorpions. Right.
But So I think there's probably been already the three. Because everybody else is like a nobody.
Sorry, but they are. They're nobody. It's true. It's true. I mean, if you're looking at the level of Catherine O'Hara, then we're looking at two more beyond her.
But yeah. Maybe the drummer for Susie and the Banshees. What was that? Uh this year. Yeah, it was like beginning of this month.
Huh. But I would say Scott Adams, Valentino, and Catherine O'Hara. All right, so those are the three. That's the three then. I think that's the three.
Because I'm looking at all the celebrity desks, and I'm like, meh, no, no, this for nope, nope. Nope, nope.
So I'm scrolling. Nope. Nope, mm-mm, nope. Maybe the Scorpion's guy, maybe the Susie and the Banshees drummer, but then that would just leave us with one more. Unless you put Bob Weir in that and then that's three again.
So either way I think it's the thir the three are tied up. And gets tied up.
So now it would start over again. Hmm.
Look at that. Man, 26 is already picking them off, innit? Good night. Good night. So Yeah, I she was great.
She was in every Unless you almost every movie of my childhood, right? almost every movie of my childhood. She's in everything. This isn't everything. All the Beetlejuice.
She was really great in Betelgeuse and the last Beetlejuice too. I thought that was very good, too. But she was a very kooky when Moira and Schitt's Creek was one of the funniest things I've ever seen when she did the fruit wine commercial. If you love fruit wine as much as I do, You're gonna love her for blinders. Fruit wine.
So great.
So rule of three, satisfied. All right, a few other things. To get set up, we talked about Don Lemon being arrested. Don Lemon's being arrested because he busted up into a church and decided that he was going to pull some shenanigans. And then you have The celebrities reacting to it.
I feel like a lot of these people, I just saw the Eva Longorio did a thing. I don't even know why. She's like 51. She looks good for 51. I just wish her politics were smarter.
People seem to forget. That The reason that ice is up there. is for a specific reason. Minnesota stopped complying with detainer requests, so they had to physically go up there and do it themselves. Then they had a stand on order.
They the governor and the mayor of Minneapolis gave the police a stand on order. That was confirmed by the police union. And they couldn't even keep the peace or help maintain a perimeter so that ICE could just conduct their operations and get out. They wanted it to be as chaotic and ridiculous as possible. No one is apportioning the proper amount of accountability for that.
And then you have these people.
So, the daughter of Ronald McDonald, Kathy Griffin.
Okay. She wants you to snoop on your neighbors and find out if they're MAGA or not. Listen to this unhingedness. I think it's time to talk to the neighbors in real life. It's time to talk to your neighbors, find out if they're MAGA or not.
Sorry, but we have to know who's on our team and start to plan. Is there a way we can do something as a community? When I hear from my followers in Minnesota, they describe a very sophisticated channel, a system. Of things that they do to help one another. And they use encrypted apps.
And like I said, everyone has whistles and blows their horn, but they organize in small groups. And they have told me that they learned this from the George Floyd incident because George Floyd was murdered 20 blocks away from these other murders, roughly. And so they said they learned a lot from that experience.
So I'm just telling you guys: live your life, but be conscious of this. And if you're silent, you're complicit. Did she not breathe out of her nose? Is it not just something that she can do?
So everything has to be as large as tallied with followers. Jimmy Christmas. Ronald MacDonald's daughter, everybody, Kathy Griffin. Uh Find out what does that mean? Plan for what?
Her message was so convoluted. Time to talk to your neighbors, find out if they're MAGA. We need to know who's on our team. Also, this happened in Minnesota. What is she talking about?
Did she like actually put makeup and a wig on and sit down and have time and just do that video for no other purpose but word salad? Talk to your neighbors about what?
So if you find out your neighbor's MAGA, what are you gonna do about it, Ronnie? What are you going to do? Ronnette McDonald, what are you going to do? Good night. I love these people.
You know, when I'm. Hearing her talk the word salad is almost as entertaining as hearing Candace Owens try to pronounce words. Gal Sharpton. Have you ever heard Al Sharpton say Sigourney Weaver's name? Signore Weaver.
Have you ever heard him say Chipotle? Chip of that. I am convinced that Candace Owens is just Al Sharpton and Drag. I am convinced at this point. They literally say things the exact same way.
They're they're They share the same they have custody of the same brain cell. and they pronounce words exactly the same. Mockabur. Boy, that's really mockabur.
Well Macabre man. Oh, we gotta legitimatize. What the hell? Can you speak English? Is that possible for you?
Good night. I mean, maybe your British twink of a husband can help you with some pronunciation. Oh, architecture. Texture. I can't even say it incorrectly.
It's like Joe Biden. Bogada. You mean the capital of Colombia? No, I mean Bogada, the s the little The little quick mart in New York City. There yeah, the bodegas, okay.
Architecture. Oh. There's a whole account that has a million of these videos. I've never seen anybody so unintelligent. Macabur.
That's so Macabre. We gotta legitimatize this Macabur. Yeah.
With some architecture. I haven't even talked about any of that because it just I think it's nobody's watching or paying attention to it anymore. I think she just needs to get a new obsession. But she does sound like she was in love with Charlie Kirk and got mad that he picked Erica over her. I've never seen a woman so scored in my life.
Oh my gosh I think if she could get away with it, she'd probably have the NAACP try to file a race hustling lawsuit against them. That's how she got started. She was race hustling out there with all those other losers out in 2016. And then she only flipped when she thought she could make some cash out of it. That was the only time.
She she used to dox conservatives and go after gamers and all that stuff. How mockabur is that? Gotta legitimatize. That's a whole account. I don't know if you've seen it, but it's hysterical.
So, I haven't talked a lot about that just because it's, you know, but she like really went after Erica Kirk. Uh I haven't played any of that because I just don't even care. But I do think it's funny to make fun of. I've just never, I just never thought, I mean, you have Al and Gal Sharpton, the Sharptons.
So mock of her. I think, can you know what? I want to get just some of those incorrectly pronounced words and add them to like my stinger board.
So I could just like fire them off at will. Right? I think that that would be great. Every time I say the word Macabre, I think of that Jane song, Macaba. I think of that song every time I hear her try to say macabre.
Some Macabur gotta legitimatize this architecture. What? Yeah, I said it. Can there can you say it properly? Try that one.
So The So they're trying to go after this judge. Or the grand jury, rather. They were saying, so they're arguing that the DOJ's original complaint against Lemon was rejected by the magistrate judge, who refused to sign the complaint, and the DOJ appealed, and that was rejected. But the appeals didn't reject the claim on its merits. They said that clear, probable cause existed.
Jake Tapper's trying to say that there was like no probable cause and that it was just like drummed up. That's not true. They literally said in that. The appeals said that the probable cause existed, but they sent it back because they wanted the process to play out.
So, Jake Tapper's out here tweeting about: oh, the DOG's original complaint against Don Lemon was rejected by this magistrate judge, etc. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's not the problem. Or that's not the story. That's like completely dishonest. They didn't reject the claim on its merits.
They literally said that there was probable cause. And notice how all these people in the media are defending this. They're like, oh, Don. instead of Don Lemon. They all know him.
They're all rushing to defend him. They're all rushing to defend him. They're first name basis, right? They all knew. They all knew.
Lorraine says Kathy Griffin had a lung removed. I don't know, I don't keep up with her, she's hateful. Cheers, Kathy Griffin's hateful. Still, she's always talked like that though. Uh let's see.

Posturing by some of these long-standing anti-2A groups. has been very interesting going into this Predi case in Minnesota. We're going to talk about that in more. This is Rob Gronkowski from Dudes on Dudes with Gronk and Jules. Sunday mornings are sacred.

Two board women in Southern California filed a lawsuit against Costco over their rotisserie chickens that were $5. $5 rotisserie chicken. It's a class action lawsuit that says Costco is misleading customers and engaging in false advertising because it said their $5 rotisserie chickens had no preservatives. And they said it's made with two preservatives, sodium phosphate and kerogenin. I don't know.
And that $5. And the women said they would not have purchased the chickens if they knew they had contained preservatives, and they were sold for $4.99. Make your own damn chicken then. Good night. I cannot believe that you know they spent more just on lawyers' fees and filing.
than they did on them rotisserie chickens. Get these broads a hobby. A thief steals a six-foot taxidermy bear off a Michigan front porch. Only in Michigan where they have this. It was stolen on January 19th.
Home security footage captured a suspect wearing black clothing, taking the bear off the porch of the home. Why would you have the bear on the front porch of your house, though? I mean, I would immediately assume it had a necklace, a ring, and a fake sheriff's badge, and a holster with a toy gun. They said, if anybody has any information on this giant six-foot-tall taxidermy bear, please call the police. That's not going to happen.
They're never seeing that thing again. I'll just say.
So Google says Chrome's new auto browse feature is a powerful. Experience that handles multi-step chores on your behalf.
So now AI is gonna do the browsing. for you. Is that what that is? I don't want it to browse things for me. I don't want to browse anything myself, much less have something do it for me.
They have new AI features because If life isn't annoying enough, we need AI, more AI in it. Google says that it's auto-brows and blah blah can help you optimize all this stuff by doing the mundane work and do I don't I don't belie I don't trust I don't trust AI to do any of that I wouldn't trust AI to make a sandwich. You know. Uh Pringles, Tylenot and Nutella are among two Are among 2,000 products recalled for rodent water, rodent waste exposure. Ugh, nearly 2,000 items.
The FDA is saying, yeah, you could have rat poop in it. Oh, that's disgusting. Gold Star Distribution said, Yeah, don't eat it. You'll get real sick. They said that the facility that was doing all is it?

Always.
So, um couple of things. You got the DOJ releasing Well, this is a lot. Uh looking at this. Yeah.
Wow. I th I was just making sure I wasn't reading it incorrectly. Three million pages. Deputy A. G.
Todd Blanche. Three million Pages. Full release of all of the files. They've made three million pages public. a month past the deadline.
And it also includes. 180,000 images. And two thousand. videos. Wow.
And There's a lot of redactions, though, that Congress had mandated.
So there are a lot of redactions in it. But they said that They had that deadline, that congre they remember they had the deadline. Which also seems kind of weird because three million pages, that's a lot. You would have to use AI to go through it and get all the victims' names out and all of that. Which I don't think anybody ever had a problem with with redacting that.
But people want to know the names of some of these individuals. And so The I don't again, I don't mind the redactions of the victims. But The other People, I don't know. But then there are people who say, well, it was like, you know. McCarthyism.
Joe McCarthy wasn't wrong, though.
So stop. Stop saying McCarthyism. He wasn't wrong. History's proven him correct. Stop saying McCarthyism like it's a pejorative.
So The um Man, that's a lot of pages. 3 million pages that people are going to be able to go through.
So, uh but the redactions they said are probably going to be, you know, frustrating for some people. I can't and that's an an insane amount of images.
So far, some of the stuff that they said is that Bill Gates was asking for Apparently, Bill Gates asked Epstein for antibiotics to give to his wife. One of the things was because they were trying to say that he had an S T D from Russian girls. Wow This is I'm looking at It's from yeah, Epstein, subject is Bill. Good heavens. And apparently Now This is from Epstein, I guess, to this is weird.
So I'm looking at this email. It's like from Epstein to Epstein. It's like he sent it to himself. as what to create a paper trail? I don't know.
But it was something that he was saying to Bill. Uh gates. And in the email it says to add insult to injury. saying that you disregarded our friendship, all that stuff. Oh man, I can't read some of this.
Um Hang on. This is what happens when this all comes out live. He says, to add insult to injury, you then implored me to please delete emails regarding your STD. Your request that I provide you antibiotics that you can surreptitiously give to Melinda. Oh, boy Can't read that.
Can't read that one to you either.
So. Yeah, that's that's Is that something that he actually said? Because the data on this email is weird. You see what I'm saying? I don't know if that's weird, if that's that can't be true.
That had it wasn't sent in, but it looked like it was written it looks like it was written by Epstein, but it doesn't say it was sent to Bill Gates.
So that's just that seems like conjecture. This is why I hate when this stuff drops when we're live on air. Because you can't read it and go through it, you know, all at the same time. But man, there's going to be some stuff in there. I'm I think it's telling that she divorced him because She intimated that he was creepy, that Gates was creepy.
And I'm wondering if that's it's because of stuff like this. Wasn't that one of the things that she had said? Ooh, 2,000 videos, 180,000 images. I want to know who's all in those images. That's the other thing.
Good, nice, that's a lot.
So now they'll have a lot of material to go through. This isn't like that uh Influencer. The Pick-Me influencer thirst photo, where they got binders of already released stuff, and they thought it was a big deal because they weren't really following the story. None of them really were. They just pretended to for clicks.
And they got this big binder of stuff that they didn't even know was already publicly available information. Remember that whole stunt? That was ridiculous. Is it two years ago now? Good heavens.
So that's some of the latest.
So they dropped all of that.
Now you also have the Senate that has to determine whether or not. They're going to pass. This continuing resolution again. Here we go, back to it again, or we're going to have another government shutdown. And uh That seems Yeah.
I don't know.
They gotta deal with affordability. They have to deal with affordability and they need to make sure because there's some stuff in there that there's some tricks they're trying to pull with Obamacare, et cetera, that I don't. know is going to be helpful. Uh for them to do this. This uh But they've got to get Republicans need to get ahead of the messaging on this because think about the time.
If you do another CR now, Early spring. The next time this is going to happen is when summer. And then the next time it'll happen is when. Fall, literally right during the election. I guarantee you, Democrats are going to do everything possible to have that timing set up just like that perfectly.
so that when midterms come around We're going to have this battle again, and they're going to set up some of the stuff to argue over now.
So, watch what they're doing. They're going to set some of that stuff up now. It's very telling. Few other things to hit as well. This um Let me pull this up.
Some of the media malpractice. With I was looking for one particular story. The number of media outlets that we're running with the AI thing. That's something to note. was a lot more than what we thought previously.
That actually should have been trending yesterday. I think every major outfit. used that AI generated image that we had been talking about. Hmm.
Interesting. All of them did. Hmm.
like they're trying to push a particular message, isn't it? like they're trying to push a particular narrative. Every one of them, you were using that image. Nobody had any context on it either. But they get mad if you post a meme of them.
But they literally will use AI slop. and s and and presented as being real. and take it to the floor of the Senate. or publish it on the front page of their newspaper. That's the stuff that they'll do.
Yeah, Kane's like, I thought they hated misinformation.
Well, they only l dislike misinformation. if it's a correction to the stuff that they're doing. Otherwise, they really do love. misinformation. They have no problem with it.
But the number, I was like sending myself some of these links. The number of. Uh Entities that were using that is stunning. It is truly stunning. And then we have this.
situation I want to bring this up to. As it relates to immigration.
So this came in The 2025 census data is now in. This is interesting. The Florida's surge has slowed down. The Midwest has seen its first net domestic gain since 1991. North Carolina is leading with over 84,000 new residents.
South Carolina has over 67,000 new residents. And The people who f fell into the bottom California, New York, and Illinois. Do you know how many people left California? from July 1st, 2024 to July 1st, 2025. If you had to venture a guess as to how many people left California, How many would you say?
And that in that year. Two hundred thousand? over that. 229,077. The number of people who left New York, again, this is just from July of 24 to July of 25.
Illinois?
Now then there's a precipitous drop. Illinois saw 40,000, just over 40,000 people leave. New Jersey saw almost 38,000 people leave, Massachusetts over 33,000, Louisiana over 14,000, Maryland over 12,000, Colorado over 12,000, Hawaii over almost 9,000, and Connecticut almost 6,000.
Now the states that saw the biggest increases, North Carolina, Texas, South Carolina, Tennessee, Arizona, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Idaho, Nevada.
So, all of the big bad blue states. hemorrhaged people. And then all of the states that ended up getting everybody. Are red states. Isn't that interesting, Kane?
Well, I mean, for the most part. The top five are red states. Not surprising. Not surprising at all. Over two, almost 230,000 people left California.
Almost 140,000 people left New York. That's insane. And you can see where they're all going. That is something else. The other interesting thing is too.
The Remember when these states were dealing with um Late-term abortions and all this, and everyone was saying, Oh, everybody's gonna leave if you do this.
Well that never happened. Seven of the top ten states for population growth are pro-life. All nine of the bottom ten are states that have super lax. abortion on demand laws. Like as birth control.
Goodness. They're going to institute an exit tax for California, aren't they? Have they done that? I think so. I mean, they're going to have to.
And those people that are leaving as cane notes, those people are probably the higher earners. This comes right after you had Mandani hold a press conference saying that they're going to go after very successful, profitable businesses. They're going to go after wealthy people. They said that those people need to pay more of their fair share, even though they've been paying most of the taxes by far over, what was it, over 94% of the taxes anyway. They've been paying the most of it.
That's according to just Americans for Tax Reform and our revenue from the Treasury.
So we can see who's paying what. Those are all going to be those state's high earners. Their taxes are going to go up in those states because they're going to have to offset that. There's businesses leaving those states. All of it.
The problem is, though, is when they come to states like Tennessee or Texas or some of these red states, That puts so much of a burden on the shoulders of a lot of these. uh activists and uh people who are registering voters because you're dealing with people who may I mean, yes, they're leaving because they hate those policies, but they tolerated those policies for quite a long time.
So they're not going to be as conservative as you. That's for sure.
So that it leaves a lot of work for those people. in those states. uh to make the case. you know, to make the case for it.
Something when you're seeing what happens in Virginia, the stuff that they're doing in Virginia with how they're wanting to tax everything. In Virginia, oh my gosh, and of course, which we're going to talk about more next week, the horrible anti-Second Amendment. legislation that they have been introducing. I mean, now they control their General Assembly, they have over 50 new tax proposals there. But they ran on affordability.
Yeah, they're taxing literally gym memberships, they're taxing streaming. They're taxing even dog walking.
Well, and your your rideshare stuff, too. Oh, yeah, all the rideshare. Oh, that's on top of all the rideshare stuff. They're also increasing taxes on guns and ammunition. And they're they're uh they are increasing the sales tax.
They're going to also increase 6% corporate tax. They're kicking all that up. As it relates to Virginia, Yunken left a big surplus. Like, I think it was 3.6%. That's what I don't understand.
Why are they doing this if they have a surplus? They have a surplus, yet they're going to.
So it's clear that their future is to spend, spend, spend.
So, what they're trying to do is front-load it so they have all this money to spend, spend, spend. That's just awful Awful. Over 50. Yeah, they have a $2.7 billion surplus. $2.7 billion surplus.
$3 billion. And they have a flush rainy day account is what they said.
So and they're they have a six percent Corporate tax, that's going to increase. I mean, all of this is going to increase across the board. We're going to see an exodus in Virginia as well pretty soon. I mean, how do you go from Yonkin? It's a span burger.
How do you go from you know, being flush. to now you've got fees on everything, taxes on everything. And they're changing their existing structure as well. They're going to change, you know, per bracket, they're going to increase taxes on that as well.
So that's a state that's going to join all the others really quickly here. This is Rob Grankowski from Dudes on Dudes with Gronk and Jules. Sunday mornings are sacred. I've got my game day routine. coffee, jersey laid out, and my lucky playlist.
with the real game changer? New morning uncrustable sandwiches. I've always loved uncrustable sandwiches, and now I'm all about the new flavors with 12 grams of protein. Bright-eyed Barry, or Up an apple. Bright Eye Berry's got that flashy, finessey vibe.

You know, yesterday we were talking about Lady Gaga and she was performing and she was railing on ice and all of this stuff. And then it dawned on me.
So she I realized later that she was in Tokyo doing this. Why does that stand out? Because they have some of the I mean, it's literally a zero illegal foreign residence plan. That's what it's called. They are so strict on immigration.
And it just seems incredibly ironic that she was in Tokyo performing when they have immigration policies that are 50,000 times stricter than that of the United States. And maybe if she had been aware of it. I wonder if she would have been like, you know, one of those protesters out in the streets. Actually, they don't have any protesters, you know, in Japan protesting this, but they have very, very tight. Immigration, very restrictive stances, and it is very skill-based.
They Are very tight with it when they look at it in terms of employment. It's not like everybody gets an H-1B here. They very strictly look at it as it pertains to labor and they fill in where they need to, etc. But they have some of the really, they have very, very, very strict. immigration policies.
So it's incredibly ironic. and completely brain dead, I think of her, to be in Tokyo railing against it. in the city of a country that has some of the strictest immigration policies possible. I mean, they make us look like, you know, open borders with how strict they are. Today in Stupidity, Ken, what do we got?
All right, it is Minneapolis' Mayor Jacob Fry. Juan, this is cut four. He has no clue. How many illegal immigrants are in his community? Listen to this.
I gotta ask you this: when you talk about just illegal migrants in a city, people cross the border illegally, that's what people call them. I wanna ask you: how many do you believe you have in your city at this particular moment in time? How many people that are undocumented or living in the geeks? Do you have any idea? I don't know.
No, I couldn't. I don't really have a guess. It's not a good idea. First of all, he does know. Second of all, he doesn't want to cooperate.
Third of all, that's why we're this problem. Exactly. Folks, that does it for us today. Find us over at Substack Chapter and Verse. I'll be out Monday and Tuesday, but back Wednesday, be traveling for work.
