'Shark Tank' Legend Explains the Real Reason Gavin Newsom's 2028 Chances Just Died

23:31They've emptied a house of worship. Everybody's gone home. Their point has been proven worthless. And so in the end, I think they lose. Don Lemon, you are the worst type of self-righteous, pretend decent progressive on the planet. Like, actually, how dare you? Putting aside the legal trouble you might be in, because as I pointed out, being protesting inside a place of worship is not protected in speech. But putting that aside for a second, who do you think you are that on a Sunday you can walk into a church and demand these people, the pastor and the parishioners, that they have to answer your questions?

24:10You think any, put aside all of this, do you think any of the people that showed up at that church on that Sunday morning, do you think they showed up because they're evil people and they hate people and they wanna kick people out of the country or anything else? I don't know, it's irrelevant what their political beliefs are. They were there to pray to God. And Don Lemon, might I remind you, As a flaming homosexual, which is what you are, you might be a little more appreciative that America is a Christian country because Christians are by far, by far the most tolerant people on the planet and they are offering you a place to live.

24:45If you don't like it, you can go, but there aren't that many non-Christian places that would take you. Then he has the gall to stand outside as families start fleeing the mob. He starts narrating that. Oh, it's this guy here. Look, he's hugging his kid. And, you know, I imagine it's uncomfortable and traumatic for the people here. But again, careful, it's very slippery right here. It's uncomfortable and traumatic for the people here. But that's what really, careful, please, really slippery. Not kidding. That's what protesting is about. And so. It's uncomfortable for the people here. You don't even know what your protest, who, who, again, Lemon, who the hell do you think you are?

25:30And are you an activist or a journalist? You are not a journalist. You are riding shotgun alongside a bunch of paid agitators as they pick a random church, a random church. And a bit more on the First Amendment, because Lemon is going to be in some trouble here. The First Amendment protects churches through its Establishment Clause, which is no government religion, and free excise clause, right, to practice freely ensuring religious freedom, autonomy, and internal governance, like choosing clergy and speech, meaning that a church does not have to let anyone in. I mean, think how profoundly absurd that would be if you took a church and said, okay, anyone can come in at any time and say whatever they want.

26:13It's not a church. Then it's just a building, right? A synagogue should have to open its doors on Friday night services and allow Hamas members in. Would that make any sense? So there are certain protections of these things. I saw this on X from an account called Gangman. And I thought this is just right. It's an image, as you can see, of just the parishioners. Look at that father holding his child who's afraid, the young girl behind there. These people who just, there's just no doubt every single one of these people in this picture is far more decent than Don Lemon and the quote there from this Kangman Lee account, this is one of the most radicalizing images as of late.

26:52And these people, you don't wanna say these people should be radicalized, but what do you think you did right there, Don Lemon? And all of you people, that screaming bearded lunatic demanding that Christians behave as he wishes them to behave, as if he has a Christian bone or kindness or decency in his body, it's completely absurd. And now listen to this from the Insider Wire, breaking Department of Justice to charge Don Lemon under the KKK Act for inciting a church raid. There is something ironic about a, again, Don Lemon happens to be black, a black man on MLK Day now being charged with the KKK Act.

27:29You can't make that up. We've got a bit more from this from Colin Rugg. A new assistant attorney general for civil rights at the DOJ, Harmeet Dillon, says Don Lemon is on notice after he suggested to his viewers it was their First Amendment right to storm churches. The statement comes after a group of far left extremists stormed Cities Church in Minnesota. A house of worship is not a public forum for your protest. It is a space protected from exactly such acts by federal criminal and civil laws, Dillon said, responding to a post about Lemon. nor does the First Amendment protect your pseudo journalism of disrupting a prayer service.

28:04You are on notice. So we will see if Lemon gets in any trouble over this. I happen to, just by total coincidence, I spoke at an event in Hollywood, Florida on Saturday night, a little bit after Harmeet Dillon, and we spent about an hour together after. She is serious and legit. She is one of the best First Amendment lawyers in the entire country who's now working for the government, and we have her on the show. We're going to be taping it on Monday. It'll be up on Monday evening, but Lemon really might be in trouble. Thus, he's walking it back a bit. We will talk about that in just a second, but first, Venice AI.

28:37Sam Altman just announced that ChatGPT can now reference all your past conversations, every thought, question, idea you've ever shared. And with a former NSA director now on their board, Edward Snowden called it a willful, calculated betrayal of the rights of every person on earth. We've seen this before. Alexa listens, meta tracks everything you do. Why assume AI will be any different? And now OpenAI might even start asking for government IDs to use ChatGPT. That's where venice.ai comes in. It gives you the power of AI without giving up your privacy. It's open source, private, and runs right in your browser.

29:10No spying, no censorship, no data collection. Your chats stay encrypted and stored only on your device. Go to venice.ai slash Dave and use code Dave for 20 % off a pro plan. That's venice.ai slash Dave. Code Dave. Real AI, real privacy. All right, so Lemon, not a journalist, an activist and a buffoon, broke the First Amendment, bragged about it. After he accosts the preacher that he stands outside and he's narrating, he's doing play-by-play of children leaving a church and he thinks he's a good guy. just absolutely disgusting. Anyway, he obviously is getting a whole bunch of blowback on this thing.

29:54And here he is now saying, it was just journalism. He's just a journalist doing journalism, journalism, whatever you want to play video is journalism. I had 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 protests started in the church, we did an act of journalism, which was report on it and talk to the people who were involved, which included the pastor, members of the church, and members of the organization. That's it. It's called journalism. So why don't you talk to the actual person who is in charge of the organization and whose idea it was to have the protests at the church before you start blaming me for stuff for which you have no idea.

30:36I'm going to... He's just such a lying sack of shit. Look, you know exactly what you did. You went in with them intentionally. if you were just a journalist, let's even pretend you were a journalist. If you were just a journalist and you were like, and you just happened to be wandering down the street and you're like, oh, there's a crazy leftist mob. There's a church over there. They're walking over there. Maybe what you would do is follow them with the camera. You wouldn't participate in it, which is exactly what you did because you were acting as a lawyer as you were grilling the pastor and then doing play-by-play as kids in tears are walking out of the church.

31:06So you are just an absolute liar and Harmeet, get on it with this freak. But the problem is, again, every level of Minnesota, and New York is going to have a version of this with Moron Zamboni, and Virginia is going to have a version of it, which we'll get to in a moment. These places will just not function anymore. They have destroyed their institutions. They have installed people who don't believe in law and order. They believe that you are allowed to do anything at any time. And if you believe that you are self-righteous and your cause is just, you can just destroy everybody else's pursuit of happiness and their businesses and ability to live and everything else.

31:44So here, let's talk. Let's go one more from Lemon now. This is him trying to explain that this is it wasn't it's not his fault that he did this. It's Donald Trump that made him do it. To me, it feels like an attack on the First Amendment and trying to and this is just my assessment. You don't have to agree with this, Mr. Attorney General, but trying to tie me as a journalist, as in to turn me into an activist. And I'm not. I was not there in activism at all. I was there just simply chronicling what they were doing, which is what journalists do all the time. All right. So Don Lemon has been turned into this raving lunatic who shows up at churches and grills pastors because of Donald Trump.

32:26OK, great. But to my broader point, that nothing works there, that you have the money laundering, you have criminality running all over the place. You have a complete inability. If you are just a guy who wants to go to work and live a normal life, you should be fearful that you're going to get a mob might grab you in the car. They might show up to your church. All of these things. So who's in charge of the legal system over there in Minnesota? to Wells Attorney General Keith Ellison, who is a far left nutbag progressive. And here he explains that terrorizing a church is protected by the First Amendment.

33:01Do with whether they're going to focus or investigate you. So I wish in a normal time I would say no. I say this is First Amendment activity. In time like this, it's just really difficult to say because the one thing is, The only one thing is clear. If Trump likes you, you can do no wrong. If he doesn't, he's going to use every weapon he can against you, including our criminal justice system. Listen, I get it. He's a Democrat. So the worse you are in some sense, the more you raise up. But everything he said there was complete nonsense. What? So you're saying sometimes the First Amendment applies.

33:40But now, because it's a little weird and Donald Trump, yeah, the protesters can do whatever the high hell they want. Again, if people showed up to your mosque, Keith Ellison, if a bunch of white people showed up to your mosque in the middle of the call for prayer or whatever else you guys are doing over there, I'm pretty sure you'd be throwing the book at them. So this is just completely absurd. Of course, Keith Ellison is a complete radical. Remember this? Remember this? This is from a couple of years ago. He wrote, at Moon Palace Books, and I just found the book that strikes fear in the heart of Donald Trump.

34:11And it's an Antifa book. Yes, it's a pro-Antifa book. This is the Attorney General of Minnesota. It's Antifa, the anti-fascist handbook. So he is a supporter of Antifa, and he is also in charge of the entire legal apparatus of Minnesota. I would say good luck with that, Kevin Garnett. Who lives in Minnesota anymore? I was trying to think of someone that lives in Minnesota. Who else? They got a baseball team there anymore? Who's on the Twins these days? Is Kirby Puckett still alive? No, he died. Give me one other person out of Minnesota. Who lives in Minnesota? Who's on the Timberwolves now? Is there anyone?

34:44Anyone? Kevin Love. No, the guy retired like 10 years ago. Is there... All right, is there anyone non-sport? Who lives in Minnesota? Well, St. Olaf, but Betty White's dead. Gerard Butler. Bishop Barron. Oh, Bishop Barron. Great guy. They want me to go to Minnesota to talk with him, which I'd be happy to talk with him, but I got to go to Minnesota to do it. Can't we meet in neutral territory? All right, Gerard Butler. He's an actor. I can't think of anything that he was in, but apparently he lives in Minnesota. Here's an extremely ugly woman, Pramila Jayapal. And here she is running cover for the leftist mob.

35:20The activists on the street right now, they feel a kind of helplessness, right? That's how you end up bullying your way into a church. And you've been in that chair. You've been the person who was the activist and felt like lawmakers weren't doing enough. Do you understand their frustration? Of course. What? Well, first off, I'm now being told that Kevin Love is still playing. I thought the guy retired 10 years ago. I barely watched the clip. I'm sure she just said some ridiculous. We did it in the run through. It's just stop, ladies. Forget that. All right, let's go back to, here's Lemon. He went on this Jennifer Welch show.

35:52This is some progressive podcaster who keeps popping up. She seems like a really lovely woman. And they talk about how the Christians that are angry at him now are just white supremacists, of course. I think these MAGA men, they have like a hive mind. None of them are unique. none of them are the alphas they think they are they just all take their orders every day what's Elon saying what's Trump saying and they have to bend and mold there's a certain degree of entitlement I think people who are you know in the religious groups like that it's not the type of Christianity that I practice but I think that they're entitled and that that entitlement comes from a supremacy a white supremacy and they think that this country was built for them that it is a Christian country when actually we left England because we wanted religious freedom.

36:39It's religious freedom, but only if you're a Christian and only if you're a white male, pretty much. And my producers were saying, I said, how did I become the face of this? And my producers said, Don, you're a gay black man in America and you have a platform and you're the biggest name. Of course, you're going to be the person that they single out and they're going to make the headline because it plays to their base and their base is full of racist, bigot, bigoted homophobes like Nicki Minaj.

37:08Okay. Don, no one cares that you're black. Nobody cares. Nobody. Is there some like racist out there, like genuine racist? Are there a few? There's some people and they generally don't like blacks and they don't like Jews and they don't like others. Is that what this is really about? Or is this even about your sexuality? Does anyone care that you're gay? Nobody cares. You are a buffoon and a fraud and a huckster. You're a race huckster and you're an activist pretending to be a journalist. And that your implication is that Christian America is a white supremacist notion is so profoundly absurd.

37:51The founders who were mostly white, well they're basically all white, the founders then created the documents and created the conditions for America, which has just rolled into its 250th year, to open the door to everybody. And everybody of every walk of life and every color on earth still wants to come here to make a better life for themselves. You, Don Lemon, a man with marginal talent at best, who's a hack from another planet, have become a millionaire. That is the proof that this place is pretty good because you have no skill other than your ability to be awful. And you've become a millionaire doing it.

38:29That's probably a lesson for some very unskilled children that are out there. If Don can do it, that's what he should do. If I can do it, anyone can do it. Here, this is just, this is a little gratuitous, but why not? Here's Don about six months ago. You may remember this clip, trying to convince people on the street that just because you're illegal and you cross the border illegally, that you're not a criminal. Okay. Crossing the border illegally is not a crime? No, it's not a criminal act. It's a misdemeanor. So why are they being sent back and saying that they're breaking the law? That's the point.

38:59Okay, as somebody that... We don't know if they're breaking the law because they won't tell. There's no due process. So misdemeanor is not a criminal act? No, if you get charged with a misdemeanor, that's not a criminal act. So why are you in charge at all then, if it's not a criminal act? Because we have different levels of crime. Everything is not the same. So it is crime. No, we have different... Is there a law to come over legally? Is there a law? There are rules that are processes that you should follow. Yeah, so you're breaking rules. You're breaking the rules, but you're not necessarily breaking a law.

39:28So what happens when you break the rules? Then you get, you solve the consequences, but the consequences should not, look, no one is saying no one should solve the consequences. You guys are getting things mixed up. I'm sorry if I have to talk about Lemon anymore. I'm not wearing shoes today. I'm going to put my feet up and just relax because I can't with this guy. If you come into the country illegally, you're not breaking the law, you're breaking rules. Are we governed by rules? Can anyone pull up the rules document? Is there a rules thing that I don't know about? Is there just a set of rules like it's a rule?

39:58You know, if you step on the three-point line while you're shooting, that's gonna be a two-pointer. Do we have that kind of? No, we have something called laws, Don. And these laws were written by people who wanted a contiguous United States that would have a shape and have a border. And the people that were inside of this thing were gonna be called Americans. and the people who were outside were non-Americans. And maybe they could come, but they would have to come legally. And inherent to the word legal is that you're gonna do it properly. And if you don't do it properly, you're doing something illegal, which means non-legal.

40:39All right, no more lemon for today. When life gives you Don Lemon, you better take a Alexa, otherwise your head's gonna explode. Alexa, is that a drug? I don't know. Let's talk about Prolon for a minute, and then we'll get to more corruption out of the Dems. Feeling heavy or low on energy after the holidays? Prolon's five-day fasting-mimicking diet helps you reset your body and habits to start the new year strong. Good intentions fade without a plan. Prolon offers a simple science-backed program that helps turn those intentions into action in just five days. It's a plant-based nutrition plan designed to nourish your body while keeping it in a fasting state developed through decades of research with USC's Longevity Institute.

41:20Everything comes prepackaged and labeled by day, so there's no guesswork. Research shows that completing three Prolon cycles can reduce biological age by an average of 2.5 years and waist size by about 1.5 inches. Right now, get 15 % off Prolon's five-day program at ProlonLife.com slash Dave. That's ProlonLife.com slash Dave for 15 % off. All right, so let's keep going with the corruption of the Democrats because it really is now, we're almost at a point where it's becoming a national security threat. And I mean that actually, I try not to be that hyperbolic at this point, but because we know the Democrats can turn the violence off whenever they want and they turn it on whenever they want, they use the activists and everything else.

42:03They just take over cities when they want. So all hell's breaking loose in Minnesota right now. We know that we've been through the BLM thing. We've been through all the COVID stuff. We've been through the Hamas protests. They can turn it on in New York whenever they want. They can turn it on LA whenever they want. And the more that we just kind of allow this lawlessness in the system, oh, you can just wander into a church and start harassing people on a Sunday. Yeah. Okay. The more you just allow this, everything starts to get degraded, right? Our ability to communicate with each other and just have any norms as a society will not work.

42:32And the problem is, the problem is they like to sell it to you that everything's grassroots. It's grassroots, progressive, bubbling up this way. And it's not. It's top down corruption with these people. So I thought this was super interesting. This is from Red Wave Press. Kamala Harris's vetting team asked Governor Josh Shapiro, quote, have you ever been an agent of the Israeli government? During VP vetting, the New York Times, in Mr. Shapiro's book, Where We Keep the Light, the governor is measured in describing his interactions with Miss Harris herself. But Mr. Shapiro, who is Jewish, details a contentious vetting process in which Mrs.

43:08Harris's team focused intensely on his views on Israel, so much so that at one point he wrote, he was asked if he had ever been an agent of the Israeli government. Had I been a double agent for Israel, wrote Mr. Shapiro, describing his incredulous response to a last minute question for the vetting team. He responded that the question was offensive. He wrote and was told, well, we have to ask, have you ever communicated with an undercover agent of Israel? The questioner, Dana Remus, the former White House counsel continued, according to Mr. Shapiro, who recounted, if they were undercover, I responded, how the hell would I know?

43:40Mr. Shapiro wrote that he understood that Mrs. Remus was just doing her job, but the fact that she asked such questions, he wrote, said a lot about some of the people around the VP. All right, so first off, I'm going to take a slightly different tack than the obvious one on this, which is that Josh Shapiro, you are not a complete lunatic like the rest of the Dems. You are a lefty. I'm not particularly impressed with you, but I actually think you're somewhat of a relative decent guy running a very purple state of Pennsylvania. Perhaps you wanted to mention some of this stuff when they passed you over.

44:10But I know that your hatred, I suppose, of Trump overrode the deep, bigoted corruption of the lady that wanted to be president and did not choose you. And we damn well know that they did not choose him because, at least largely, because he is Jewish. As simple as that, that's where the Democrat Party is at, not controversial or anything else, is what it is. And you can, And particularly for Jewish, you have to just decide what that means to you, I suppose. Here's a bit more from the New York Times. He, meaning Shapiro, was pressed on other questions about Israel, he wrote. I wondered whether these questions were being posed just to me, the only Jewish guy in the running, or if everyone who had not held a federal office was being grilled about Israel in the same way, wrote Mr.

44:54Shapiro, an outspoken critic of what he saw as antisemitism on college campuses amid the Israel-Hamas war. So again, this goes to the radical nature of the party. Tim Walz, who I think was, wasn't he in, or at least claimed to be in China during Tiananmen Square? It turns out he wasn't, but he claimed he was there. Did they grill him about his connections with China? But you guys get what's going on here. And at the end of the day, they did choose Tim Walz, who was an utterly embarrassing candidate and a man who's now wrapped up in a scandal that's so bad, he won't even run for re-election in his state.

45:27Here is Nick Shirley, the very same 23-year-old kid who did more journalism than CNN's done in decades, talking about why Kamala chose Tim Walz. You know what's interesting about Tim Walz? Why do you think Kamala Harris chose Tim Walz? Nobody knew who he was before. Why? That is interesting. The first day he's chosen, he raises the most amount of money than any other candidate in history. I think it's over$35 million he raised for the campaign within just a day of being selected to become the vice president. and now we know all this fraud's happening. How did Tim Walts, he used to be a high school football coach.

46:04He's not even from Minnesota. He's from Nebraska. How was he able to raise the most amount of money? That's great. Do you think the Somalians were funding it? 100 % it had to be some sort of fraud. All right. So to be clear, yes, we just checked. He claimed he was at Tiananmen Square. It turns out he wasn't. He just misspoke because that's the type of thing you would misspeak about. I was in New York City during 9-11. Oh, what would I say about him? Um, well, it didn't work out for them, obviously, but you can see why. So she passed over on Shapiro, who again, he was for whatever, to whatever extent there is such thing as a moderate dem at this point, he is a moderate dem.

46:39Now, I would hope that they still would have lost, um, and Trump would still be president, but that might've been a slightly different tack than going all in on the leftist lunacy. They choose Tim Walz. Clearly it had something to do with his ability to fundraise, which maybe had something to do with his ability to money launder. And even though Kamala did not become president, don't cry for her because look at this. She just moved into a new$8 million mansion in Malibu. So she can be there with her concentric circles and her Venn diagrams and all of her stuff. And it's just great. So, okay. So what else is happening with the Democrat Party?

47:19Well, I mentioned today is the 20th. So we are now swearing in the last group of people that were elected back in November. Some states do it on the first, some do it a couple of weeks into January. And over in Virginia, Virginia, which should be red, but is mostly purple and now turning blue, which is just insane. And it's largely turning blue because it's so close, obviously, to DC. So all of the bureaucrats, the deep state government people, people that are in perpetual government that want the slush fund to go on, many of them live in Virginia. Here is new Virginia Lieutenant Governor Ghazala Hashmi being sworn in on a Koran.

47:57Are you prepared to take the oath of office? Yes, I am. Please place your left hand on the Koran, raise your right hand and repeat after me. You know, we talked about this a couple of weeks ago when Zorhan Mamdani swore on the Koran. You know, most politicians swear in on the Old Testament. I assume some swear in on the New Testament. and clearly this country, I mean, I didn't need to give you a history lesson or a philosophy lesson in some sense, but this country was built on Judeo-Christian values. Everyone knows this. And the Old Testament and the New Testament were the bedrock to build a society that was based on the individual.

48:33The Quran and Islam, Islam means to submit. That is very different than individual rights. So she is by the very nature of swearing on the Quran, she is swearing on something that that is actually antithetical to American values and American freedoms. I wonder, there's a million videos like this, we just grabbed one, but it's like, I wonder, would she, now she's in Virginia, but would she have anything to say about this Imam in Texas? So know this, that Islam will enter every house. Every house. Don't worry about the Islamophobe, they can yap all they want, their children will be Muslim. Your children are going to be Muslim?

49:13I did not know that. You see, that's a fundamental difference, by the way, between Judaism and Christianity and Islam. Islam is there to convert everybody. Now, Judaism is a religion that does not proselytize, right? So if you want to become a Jew, Jews don't run around trying to convert people. If you want to become a true Jew, it is an extremely arduous process. They want to know you're seriously serious about getting in on this thing. Christianity is a proselytizing religion, except in modern times, certainly the last couple hundred years, Christians aren't running around killing people, murdering people, subjugating people in the name of Christianity.

49:50They are simply not doing that. As I said before, Don Lemon better thank his heels that he lives in a Christian nation as a gay black man, which nobody cares that he's gay and nobody cares that he's black. It is because it's a Christian nation. So having more politicians swearing in on the Koran is not good, but that's one thing. They also had this guy swear in as the attorney general of Virginia. That's Jay Jones, a man who had texted, you may remember the scandal around him, texted to a friend of his during the campaign, Republicans and their children should be brutally murdered. So I, between Koran lady and the murder attorney general, I don't think things are going well there, but that's, that pales in comparison to their new governor.

50:33They have this lady, Abigail Spangberger, and she is going to fight Donald Trump and his deportations. And in Virginia, our hardworking, law-abiding immigrant neighbors will know that when we say

50:53that we will focus on the security and safety of all of our neighbors, we mean them too.

51:08Why do we live in a country with so many morons? How did it happen? How did it happen? Lady, your law-abiding immigrant neighbors, okay, fine. But what you always do is you don't say it's the illegals that they're going after. They're not going after your law-abiding neighbors because inherently your law-abiding neighbors are legal. They're going after illegal people. Now, Abigail, maybe you watched that Don Lemon thing and you're confused. You think they just broke a rule, not a law, but it is a law not to come into the United States illegally. Then, of course, what did this lady do? Well, her first action, once sworn in, was to repeal an executive order that mandated that the state work with ICE.

51:52And this executive order rescinds executive order number 47. State and local law enforcement should not be required to divert their limited resources to enforce federal civil immigration laws. It is a responsibility of federal law enforcement. Virginia state and local law enforcement officers must be able to focus on their core responsibilities, investigating crime and community policing. I'm gonna give you, I'm gonna give you a little nuance here. And a little nuance is that they, as the governor, she, I suppose, I think there's probably a legal argument to make that you can say our local law enforcement will not work with ICE.

52:34That's a little different than saying we will not allow ICE here. If you were to say we will not allow ICE here, that absolutely, we've talked about this already, that absolutely is a violation of federal law. Will anything happen of it? I'm not so sure. Would it be better if they did things like we do here in some of the states, obviously in Florida, in some of the states I mentioned earlier, and say, hey, we're gonna have our local law enforcement work. Like think about, imagine if you were, a police officer, you're a highway patrolman or whatever else, and you're in Virginia, and some guy is drunk and speeding down the highway, and you pull him over, and he doesn't have any documentation or anything.

53:11As a law enforcement officer, she is saying, we will not work with ICE. So what are you supposed to, like, does that make you feel good as a law enforcement officer? Most people that go into policing, that go into any kind of law enforcement, it's because they want to enforce the law. They want to keep things safe for people. So you're asking these people to be less than their best selves. And I suppose things will only get worse under her. And it's a real damn shame because it shouldn't be that way in Virginia. It certainly shouldn't be. But there's been a bit of a, I would say, messingly depressive show in some sense, although I thought I was quite hilarious at times, because the Democrats are destroying a lot of stuff and they're doing it real quick.

53:50And we We can only pray and hope that Donald Trump and Marco Rubio and Pam Bondi and Harmeet Dillon and everybody else is ready to fight this with every bit of power they have. And they better do it quick. And not only that, but they better win the narrative war because otherwise we end up in a midterm where Trump, the Republicans lose. Trump ends up getting impeached or hung up impeachments. He's a lame duck and it's over. They bring in Gavin and we're screwed. Jesus, this is depressing. How do we get out of it? How do we get out of it? Well, Thomas Sowell, who is still alive, God bless him. This is a video from probably 30 years ago, but he explains a bit about immigration.

54:25Perhaps we could get this to some Democrats and that would turn them around. If we're a land that in God we trust and Jesus says, let the children come to me. Wouldn't you agree that we need to open our arms to Mexico? No, because every country has to protect its own borders. There was a time when virtually every country in the Western Hemisphere not only allowed but encouraged immigration on a massive scale because they had the land and they needed the resources and so on. It's not at all clear that if you were to throw the borders wide open and let anyone come who wants to, that this would still be the same country 50 years from now.

55:02And so, in a sense, you can't let everybody come to America because if everybody came to America, it wouldn't be America anymore. So that's not an option that we have. And in some sense, I think if our founders were alive right now, they would say, what is this place? 250 years later, they'd be, I suppose, marveled by technology and televisions and phones and radio and lights, electricity, that would be pretty cool to them. but I think that they would look at us and say, boy, what really did happen here? Why did they forget all of the things that were obvious to us in terms of why we founded the country in the first place?

55:45You let everyone into America. America is no longer America. Simple as that. That's what Saul said. It's obvious. It's real. And the question is for any country, when you're letting people in, it has to benefit you in a way too, right? It's otherwise it's the giving tree. And then there's no tree at the end. Read a children's book, right? And that's not what we're here to do. We're here to be something that's everlasting so that you can, I mean, I made a tree reference, but that so that you can build roots here and grow something great, hopefully with a family and a community and everything else.

56:13And that's what a bottom-up view of the world actually does. But the question is, as we stand in 2026 right now, is do we need the resources of other people? Now, there might be some arguments that, yeah, maybe we need some really incredible high-tech coders right now. We need more of them in America. Perhaps. A lot of them could work from other countries for American companies, but you can maybe make some argument around that, but it's getting harder and harder for all the years that it was more on the Republican libertarian side. We talked about this yesterday, that they were like, let all these Hispanics in.

56:45We need them to do all these jobs that no one else will do. It was largely agricultural jobs. It was largely building houses and things like that. We are on the verge of a technological evolution that is going to make the world so different in five, 10, 15 years that it's going to blow people's mind. You know, the difference between two years before the TV and then after the TV, how it fundamentally changed things in America. It wasn't just that you were watching things all at the same time and you went from just listening with radio to watching, but then TV dinners came. It literally changed the American diet, which then led to obesity and everything else.

57:19Well, we're about to go from having all of these people, millions and millions of people that were picking things in the field so that we could have fresh produce and robots are already doing it. The low-level entry jobs that the Democrats keep telling you should be$15 an hour and$20 an hour and$25 an hour are already being outsourced by iPads at Burger King. So the shift has already occurred, and the question is, will we do anything to triage the damage that's been done, or will we just open the floodgates, allow anyone in, not have any rules anywhere, and destroy the whole system? Thanks for watching.
