Full transcript with timestamps

Hey everyone, I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly show. There is big drama in the world of David Beckham. I mean, I don't think we've ever begun a show that way, but boy, there really is. Uh, and Michelle Obama is disappointed in us yet again. Um, she really really doesn't like the fact that people are buying white-owned fashion brands. She really really wants you to buy black. Okay? You never go back apparently. Um, we'll play you the soundbite. Britt and Wit will be here later on some of our cultural issues.

Um, that's Britt Mayor and Will Wit. But we begin with the continued fallout from that outrageous action at a Minnesota church on Sunday from anti-ICE agitators and Don Lemon. But I repeat myself. As we told you on AM update, the Department of Justice is now looking into potential Face Act. That's that act that prohibits you from messing with people outside of an abortion clinic or as luck would have it, a religious institution. Um, they're looking into potential charges under that as well as the so-called clan act which says um, basically you can't conspire with somebody to deprive somebody else of their constitutional rights like the freedom to worship. And so that second act is more serious.

That's you get charged under the clan act, it's a felony on number one, your first offense. You get charged on the face act, it's a misdemeanor if it's your first offense and it's basically slap on the wrist territory. But if it's like a multiple, you it's like your third violation under the Face Act, that's how they throw granny's in jail outside of abortion clinics. But I think the reason we're talking about clan act charges is because those are all felonies and it's very serious and no one wants to be charged with that. Um, and it's really not it's it's sort of analogous to what happened in the south uh when we were trying to desegregate it and the government was trying to make that happen and local citizens, Democrats were not complying and uh they were conspiring against people's rights.

So anyway, uh it's just an interesting way to think about it. Potentially bad news for Lemon, especially if he's taking legal advice from Minnesota's far-left attorney general, Keith Ellison. I mean, that guy, like, it's been a long time since I've practiced law, though I remember it well. Um, he's actively the practicing law as the attorney general of Minnesota right now, and he doesn't seem to understand it at all. He thought, for example, that Face Act ended after protecting abortion clinics. Isn't that just so leftist?

like, okay, as soon as I'm done hearing what's good for my side, I'm gonna close the law book and pretend nothing else is in there. It's sad, though, because he's the state's top law enforcement officer, and he doesn't appear to know his legal ass from his elbow, which of course we knew when we heard him on tape appearing to conspire with fraudulent Somali about how he was going to have their back. Um, he's not an honest broker, by the way. How does he even have time to go on Don Lemon's podcast to try to rehabilitate him yesterday? Doesn't he have a damn like community to indict in Minneapolis?

All these Somali. Oh, wait. I forgot. He was running cover for them. Back to my first point. Here to react to all this and more. One of our very favorite people, film producer, songwriter, multiple Emmy award-winning actor James Woods, who has a new album out right now called Tombstone Opera. Don't miss a moment.

James, welcome back. Great to see you. H Dr. Livingston, I presume. I feel like I've been trying to get the two of us together for months. For months. I I was so sorry that I missed you in Arizona and it turned out

that I had an emergency surgery a couple of days before when it would have happened. So, it worked out for the better. But now, here we are finally at long last. And I have to say,

yes, we always love talking to you. I I I watched you yesterday. I thought, "Oh my god, I better not light a match anywhere near Megan. She's so she's like fuming. I never saw you as angry as you were yesterday. I I was I was stunned.

Are you feeling it? I just feel like it was a red line to go into a church and the full force of federal law needs to be brought down on everyone who did it.

Right. But there's there's something here that you're going to be surv I look I know what you wanted to hear me say is James Woods is going to come on. He's going to rip Don Lemon a new Not that I'd be the first person to have done that by the way. Oops. Anyway, so but the the bottom line is this is all a dog and pony show. It's a trick. I I give you an example of what I'm talking about. Do you ever see the movie The Patriot with Mel Gibson? At the end of The Patriot, the militia guys, the hardworking colonials who want to build this beautiful country, stand on the line against the British regulars. They have no chance of surviving. They break and they run over a hill. The British now they've got them. They're going to go over and slaughter them all. And as they come over the hill, the entire colonial army is waiting for them and wipes them out. Sends Bannister Talton to Yorktown to hide with Cornwallis and

they end up surrendering to Washington and America is born. I am a ninth generation descendant of uh one of the patriots who was one of the militia men at the battle of Kalpins which was just a few days ago short of for 245 years ago. It was in January of of 17 uh uh uh 81. Now, why am I bringing this up? Because they were a diversionary tactic.

Don Lemon, a journalist. I mean, this guy a journalist here. Here's another sound bite for you. They're going to love this one. Don Lemon is the dingleberry hanging off the ass of American journalism. Okay? And let me tell you, when CNN got rid of him, they didn't wipe hard enough. But all of that's colorful and it'll be a headline tomorrow. I know. Everywhere. Uh, not as good as me. Nicki Minaj, by the way. And they can't deport me because my family's been brought it. Oh, she was she was great. James Woods and Nicki Minaj. Who ever would have thought? Two peas in a pot. No. Anyway, you know, my family's been here since 1721. So, I I have a pretty good chance of not getting deported, I think. But here's the bottom line. This is a trick. It's a diversion.

This small man, Don Lemon, is, you know, he was aware of everything that was going to go on. Oh, we're MAGA coded. He knew all the strategies because he planned it. He wasn't just embedded. He was literally one of the ring leaders of this heinous act. And of course, we're all enraged, disgusted, disappointed, just ready to just eat blood red meat to to stop this kind of insanity. And that's what they want us to do. Because you know what they really are trying to do?

Divert us from their fraud. You betcha. And it's not just a scandal, Megan. The Democratic Party, every single thing they do is centered on one strategy. How can we stay in power with nothing to offer the American people? There's nothing they have to offer. Nothing. They don't offer anything. All they do is take. They take trillions of dollars, it's turning out, in graft and greed and corruption. Why are they taking the money? To fund their campaigns to make sure that they can get in power. When they're in power, they open the floodgates. They let unvaccinated, unvetted illegals storm across the border to wreak whatever havoc they're going to wreak. But the one thing they're going to do is vote Democrat because they know where the money is and they know where the prizes are and they know where all the the the free crap is. In the old days of Tammy Hall, they stand outside a voting booth with five bucks in their

hand. the bad guy to vote. You know, my my brother ran uh for mayor in our my late brother, God rest his soul, uh ran for mayor in our little town in War, Rhode Island. And in Rhode Island, you have to run as a Democrat because you can't win any other way. It's like California. There are no Republicans in office. And anyway, he ran as a Democrat. And you know, I I noticed, you know, and I supported him. People said, "You're supporting your brother. Aren't you more aren't you rightwing?" I was like, "No, I'm very centrist. I believe in the Constitution. I believe in the laws of the land. My brother's a good and decent man, so I support him and, you know, he'll have his opinions and and I'll have mine and maybe he'll listen to some of my stuff. Maybe I'll learn something from him. But either way, he's a good man and I support him." Every single fundraiser event where we sit outside supermarkets like people do in local

elections, every time you were around a Democrat, the joke was, "Hey, vote early, vote often." And they say it like, "Oh, it's a little joke." Except when you say a mantra long enough, there are people who sort of feel it's okay. Why was everything they do is a scam. Why were they no kings pro? No kings. I mean, for Christ's sake, it's so absurd. No kings. Trump's a dictator. All this stuff. You know why? If you took a poll of anybody in America and you said, "Listen, you go back in time and you could assassinate Adolf Hitler, commit a crime, murder the leader of a country, would you do it?"

And yes, because according to Pia Colberg in their theories of moral development, the greatest level of moral development is even to break the standard law to do a greater good which any decent human being would know was necessary for the survival of the race and to rid the world of Hitler was important. So the ends justify the means. Now, if you call Donald Trump a dictator and everybody supports him a fascist and we're all Nazis and we're all pedophiles, we're all, you know, they say, "Listen, we got to get rid of this guy no matter what." How is it even possible that any American citizen can watch a presidential candidate, a former president of the United States, and about to be the future president of the United States, get shot in the head, oh, it was only in his ear, but okay. three inches over and his brains would be splattered across the the podium the way John Kennedy's were across the back of a

limousine. Okay. And we've been watching that video that's a prud film for 40, 50 years. Okay. Now, why is it there were people making jokes, entertainers making joke from the stage, you know, I mean,

journalists questioning whether it even happened while while Cory Crompi is dead behind him, suggesting the whole thing is an op that Trump did just to make him him look good himself look good. But listen, I so let me ask you this because I agree with you. The Somali fraud scandal is

of epically bad proportions. Don't take the bait and don't take the bait. Well, but but but okay. But I disagree on that point because

Well, what what what I'm not saying that you shouldn't take the baby. You can't like what what next? Do they they storm a maternity ward and terrorize the babies and we just say don't take the baby? No. them. them. We can fight many battles at once.

When you ask that question, they saw the maternity war. This is the party of that murdered 50 million babies in the womb. I mean, you know,

which is why I wouldn't want them anywhere near the maternity war. I'm just saying like we we we have to fight the certain tactics go beyond

and they must be answered and I agree with you 100%. It's a new low. I I agree with you 100%. But in the process of doing that, okay, we can't, you know, it's that bright shiny object. Oh, look over here. And it's like, oh, you know, that when Nicki Minaj pointed out all the heinous things that this little man, this fake journalist, this pathetic mean-spirited racist um poor excuse for an American uh uh decided to to to lead a a this this mob into a Rockwell painting. I mean, it's little kids sitting with their parents worshiping God. I mean, when when that all happened, the only thing that the liberal press reported in the newspaper was the unfortunate word that she used. Um, and when we start, you know, the only thing Michelle Obama

The word you're looking for is Yeah. Is that what we're talking the Nicki the Nicki Minaj tweet?

Just to put a lovely spin on it. Let's see. She she tweeted out about lemon. Don Cox sucking lemon, forgive me, is disgusting. How dare you? I want that thug in jail. Yeah, he would never do that to any other religion. Lock him up. And then a picture of

like the maniacal doll. I don't actually know this particular doll. This is probably somebody from some horror movie, but I I don't do horror. It's too disturbing to me.

Right. Her her name actually is Megan, but we'll talk about that another time. Oh, that's Megan. Oh, I did see Megan. I did see Megan. I didn't recognize her.

Long spelling. Yeah. So, she's got the Democrats. And now people are ripping on Yeah. Yeah, they're now they're ripping on Nicki Minaj for being uh homophobic. Hello. Beside the point, it's not homophobic. She's using a slur to rattle him because she's ticked off. Says nothing of how she feels about gays.

But here's what I think you were right about. When when the Democrats in in uh invested in the kind of lawfare that it was so egregious that it literally undermined the the fabric of our of our legal system and of our nation. I mean, 132 indictments for a law that wasn't even on the books and all this stuff, the fake impeachments and all that stuff. Well, of course, it backfired on them. I agree that we've got to do um we've got to just honor the law. Our job is to obey the law and enforce the law. our our law our uh uh law enforcement officers, whether they be the immigration services, homeland security, FBI, local police, they swear an oath to uphold the laws of the land. You may not like the laws. I'm a Roman Catholic. I think abortion is murder. I'm not going to go out and shoot an abortion doctor because I disagree. I'm not going to shed a tear if those people have an unfortunate life

because in my mind they're killers. But I've got to obey the laws of the land. These people have decided that they're going to recreate the Constitution out of whole cloth. And it's ironic. It's during the 250th anniversary celebration of the Declaration of Independence, which was centered.

You point out that this is like this is all part of the Democrats plan to get elected because they want illegals here and they want them ultimately. They need them here. And what like look well well look at Virginia. You know I just as recently as 20 years ago when I started at Fox News, Virginia was red. Oh yeah.

It wasn't purple. It certainly wasn't blue. It was red. And it was pretty firmly deep red state uh southern state and it quickly quickly migrated into purple and then into blue. And what is Abigail Spamberger's first act when she becomes when she gets sworn in as governor there? She stops the cooperation with ICE. She wants to make it easier for every illegal in Virginia to do whatever the hell they want. She doesn't care that they're going to be molesting children. They're going to be murdering innocent moms like we've seen.

What she really cares about is that they get to vote, James. And that's obvious because Democrats keep doing it in state after state after state.

But but it isn't just something that they believe in fervently in their heart. They simply will not survive as a political party. They will not survive if they have to rely on American citizens voting for them uh in in a federal election. Okay? If it were only American citizens and you could take away all the fraudulent mail and ballots and ballot harvesting and all the rest of the nonsense that they do, if you could get rid of all the pallets of ballots coming in, you know, and the trunks of cars when the pipes break at 4 in the morning and and you know, nine days of counting and you know, I mean, we used to have elections that count all the ballots by 10:00 at night. But they have to have this because they cannot get elected with the numbers the way they are.

What percentage did you think? Absolutely. So, and so they'll do they'll do what they have to. I mean, at at some level, you almost have to admire it because they're so ruthless. I mean, I don't admire unethical people, but my point is simply they will do what they have to do in order to win these elections. And they're kind of open about it. I do want to get back to Lemon for this. Um, it's interesting to me that he's lying about it. I So, he I think he's scared. He doesn't I don't think he realized that he was breaking federal laws when he entered that church and disturbed people in their place of worship, intimidating them and part of the crew that was physically obstructing them.

Um, I I don't think he understood. I think now he understands there actually is a real chance that he's going to be in serious legal trouble, especially if he gets caught charged under that clan act because now we're talking felony. At a minimum, he trespassed. However, trespass is not a federal crime. So, what are the odds of him be getting charged zero uh for that by Minnesota officials? So, it's got to be one of these federal crimes, which means it's likely serious. And we'll see whether or not they have him. It actually is fact specific. They're going to be looking at how much he did that sounded more like protester versus how much he did that sounded more like journalist. But he's lying about his behavior, which is a tell. He went on the crazy podcast of that very angry, weird-faced woman, Jennifer, what's her name? Welch.

All she does is yell. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. All she does is yell hateful things about Republicans. And I I guess that's her stick. Um here he is. Listen. Listen. He claims he didn't know that he and his cabal were going to a church. Listen for it. One.

They said, "Well, there is this thing happening that they've been sending out flyers for. Perhaps you want to cover this." So I said, "Sure." And I went, "Okay, I'll cover." And then when I went to cover it, they said, "We're doing this um this protest that is sort of um similar to the civil rights movement where they show up places and they sort of disrupt the peace like sitting in at lunch counters or, you know, drinking out of out of water fountains that were only supposed to be for white people." And I said, "Sure, I'll I'll go. I'll chronicle it." And they ended up at a church. I didn't even know they were going to a church. And they ended up at a church. And so once they went in and did their thing, uh other journalists started going in and I went in. So, I'm not exactly sure, Jen, how I became the face of it, unless they just think I'm the bigger name, but it's bizarre. And I reported on it. I interviewed everyone

there, the pastor, some of the congregants, and uh and the protesters. And that was it. And now all of a sudden, it blew up into this big thing where I am the one who is leading the protest. And somehow I'm I'm the agitator here when I'm just the journalist.

Okay. Just let me just make a couple points before I play you the soundbite of him before he went in. He he he didn't. Oh, and I just interview I just documented it. No one wanted to talk to him. The pastor made clear no one wants you here. No one wants to talk to you. Put your stupid mic away and get out. So, he knew very well. He wasn't just there. I was innocently documenting. No, you were part of the harassment. You were you were pushing that mic into the faces of people who did not want you there and you had no right to be there and they had every right to eject you and your harassment continued. But here as for his claim that I had no idea we were going to a church, listen to him before the protest began on Sunday morning on site 2.

As Nikima said, this is clandestine, a clandestine operation and then we can tell you what's going to happen afterward.

We don't know what's happening. We kind of do, but we don't know how it's going to play out.

Okay. We're not there yet. We are here now. Do you think if you just have it? I think maybe if you just have it on the church, but they they're if they see me

on the what, Don? They're going to know. Yeah. No. I don't It just depends. The what?

Don't name the location. I'm not blaming name the location, but I mean I mean I'm just wondering if you see me.

I mean, the folks inside see me. Are the congregants really on live instead of in service right now?

No, but they'll be like, "Why is Don Lemon here?" Oh, yeah. Sunday morning. Sunday morning church.

Yeah. Okay. We'll see. Like he's Well, what else? It's Sunday and we already said the church.

No, we didn't. Yes. You said it. Okay. They didn't name the church, James, but they said repeatedly at the church as the service started. and this idiot let him get away with I didn't even know we were going to a church throughout that interview. So he's trying to rehabilitate himself by lying which shows a consciousness of guilt.

Right? You know every crime that is committed gets escalated when intent is involved. intent, conspiracy, these things are very serious when a a person has a plan in mind that is not what they try to make it appear when the event takes place. You know, if if a person says, "I'm going to defend my household." and they stand outside and they're looking for trouble and you know they make comments and wise guy wise acre comments about shooting people in their houses and so on. You have to be very careful about those things because they sometimes can indicate intent and other times just frustration and so on.

Look, this was an operation. I mean it's operation. He sounds like he's in Delta Force. I mean, he's just such a he's just he's just such a buffoon. And but the bottom line is the last person you want to turn into a martyr is this ridiculous clown. Okay? He's just a ridiculous person. And you don't want to turn him into a martyr. But you do want to make it clear something Michael Null said yesterday on your podcast that was so right. You have to stand up and enforce the law and you have to be tough about it. You don't like it? Too bad.

You're going to go to jail. Look, look, our drug problem is killing thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of Americans. Okay? Our drug problem is our immigration problem. Our immigration problem is a Democrat strategy to stay alive as a political party. You know where they don't have a drug problem? Singapore. They catch you with drugs, they cut your head off, okay? Or hang you, whatever they do over there.

That'll do it. I mean, you know, that would do it. That would put an end to it right quick. You know, there is there there are time look there years and years ago there's a movie that was written um based on a book by George Higgins called u uh uh the friends of Eddie Coyle and in it they guys decided they're going to heist the a bank or something. I can't remember what the crime was and one of the guy they give Robert Mitchum who plays that he call a machine gun I think I'm not remember it just right but the point being in Massachusetts for years it may still be the law if you committed a crime with a machine gun it was unequivocal mandatory mandatory not up to discretion of some liberal judge mandatory life imprisonment without parole without exception in every face. That's it.

You're going to jail till the day you die. Okay. Mhm. Even the mafia, they didn't use machine guns. Don't use a machine gun. What are you crazy? If we get caught, that's it. We're done. There's no way out.

Now, in Chicago, where you have a mass murder every weekend, these gangs shooting each other, they have a thing called a giggle switch on their Glocks. It's a Glock switch. It's a switch you can put on your handgun. You squeeze the trigger and if you have a 30 round magazine, you can rip off 30 30 rounds like a machine gun. And they do it all the time. It's like they use them all the time. Now the police are up against these lunatics with with with machine basically machine guns. But nobody enforces that law with any force. You start enforcing the law. Look look how many times we watch Kamala. But Camala, I've I've been to the border. You haven't been to the border. I've been to the border. No, you haven't. Well, I've been to Europe. That Camala Harris, the borders are who never been to the border. You know, how many times do you have to listen to her and Morcus and Biden? Poor Biden. I don't make fun of

him because he's got all that right now. We're not ripping on Kamla anymore until she gets the nomination. Like, just keep keep your powder dry. Let's let her sail right in there. She really believes she can do it. Wait, I want to keep going. We have a ton to get to. I only have you for an hour. Um, I got to show you this. So, separate and apart from, you know, the criminal charges and all that, and we actually are going to have a deep dive on the criminal charges tomorrow with Dave Aronberg and Mike Davis on this program. So, you we won't have have a better legal debate anywhere. But here, of course, he goes back to his priors.

He's all excited that he's the center of attention and he's got to raise all the things that he always raises. Like, first, I'm a gay black man in in responding to Nicki Minaj. And then also these accusations which we heard from him in one sh way, shape or form throughout his entirety on CNN and certainly since he's gone quote independent sought for

I think that there is obviously this there's racism in it. The whole point of it is that they're trying to they're detaining people on the streets because of accents and the color of their skin. Uh and they're also targeting they're targeting people of color and black people uh as well as as brown people. So there is a certain degree of racism there and 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. It's religious freedom, but only if you're a Christian and only if you're a white male, pretty much. And so, yeah, I absolutely 100%.

But it's an intimidation tactic. I mean, it's unbelievable. I I guarantee you all the people in that church are sup are supreme versus Don Lemon, but it I speak of intellect and class.

Well, Don Lemon is a bit a bit of a racist himself if I'm not mistaken. He's always he literally MAGA coded as if you're white or if you have the American flag.

It's like, you know, great. There lot a lot of people in my family were white and had the American flag and shed blood for it. You know, my dad had two Purple Hearts in World War II, you know, and and in the Korean War. He didn't I wasn't wounded in the Korean War, but you know, I just took it for granted that that, you know, Americans have shed blood for for more people shed blood in the Civil War for people with black skin than in every sense combined.

More American. Look how casually he throws that out there, James. He smears just these the these people sitting in a church in Minnesota minding their own business. He has no evidence that any of them supports ICE or doesn't. There was some an unconfirmed report that one of the pastors may have had an affiliation with ICE. So what? That's it. like nothing nothing about anybody in the church, all the members who were there, the children, all smeared as white supremacists and not practicing his brand of Christianity based on what?

You know, Megan, it's really pretty simple. If somebody's breaking the law or has broken the law, the law enforcement people that we hire or vote for uh are responsible are obligated to rectify that. And you know, ICE in particular has been going after uh there was a a statistic yesterday that Secretary of Homeland Homeland Secretary Gnome uh broadcast of the news. 70% of the people that I have arrested so far either have outstanding warrants or have committed crimes, violent crimes in the past. I mean, what why here? You know, I have I have a friend who's a poker player. He was in a Mexican gang. His last name is actually Irish. He's a great guy. We're friends. And he goes, "Hey man,

dinner at your house is going to be fun." But if you saw this guy, he's got gang bang. He's one of the greatest poker players. He has three bracelets, uh, World Series bracelets. He's a genius poker player. And we've become great friends. He go, "Hey, man. I hear you're against immigrants." I said, "There's not a single person in the United States who isn't an immigrant, including the so-called, you know um you know, tribes that that actually came across the Bearing Straight into North America." But, you know, I I'm against illegal illegal immigration. There's such a thing as legal immigration. And the people who actually work hard to have legal immigration work so hard to do it. They have to get a lawyer and they study and then I guarantee you by the time they get their citizenship so many of the legal immigrants in this country know more about the constitution than half the people probably sitting in Congress.

Certainly the Democrats. Well, although I will say a lot of these Somali have become naturalized citizens and now there's a push to to dnaturalize them, take away that citizenship if they've committed any sort of fraud or crime uh or, you know, welfare fraud, what what have you. And I'm totally behind that, too. You don't get to come here,

game the system just to get yourself declared an American just so you can mooch off the rest of us. Get out and stop with the mooching. Here's one more from Lemon. His thoughts on ICE. Sat 6.

Attention ICE. Let me just say something that most people, most journalists will not say. They can't say it. I understand that. But uh I'm an independent journalist now, so I can't say it. off, ICE. all the way off. You are low-life losers. And you feel empowered by your dear leader, Donald Trump. You have never had this position of power before. Small person. and you are treating people in an inhumane way and you don't even understand why because you you're too dumb to figure it out. You are the poorly educated that Donald Trump loves.

That's who you are and you're out there doing his bidding, doing things that are illegal, doing things that are unconstitutional, doing things that are inhumane, like killing someone because you're pissed off. You are fat losers who just crawled out of a trailer park from some uh Proud Boy meeting or if not worse.

You know who you know who lives in trailer parks? People who have sacrificed their lives or limbs for this country in wars throughout its history. You know the fat people that he derides and so on.

Losers. Yeah. you know, they're working hard. I I'll tell you who's really uh really disgusting. People are the people who don't speak English with a driver's license in a truck killing eight-year-old children in crosswalks, drunks, uh the ones who raped all of these women. We see, you know, page after page on X. I I look all these stories about the illegals who are raping and murdering and oh, we can do that where we come from. We we can rape 12-year-old. I it it's it's just it's appalling. And when he said regular journalists can't say this, but I can say it. So, in other words, there's a special class of journalists. Here's what journalism is about. Getting the facts, reporting the facts, and doing it without fear or favor and without bias.

When you say ICE, what you're saying is the federal government in their obligation, their sworn obligation to the Constitution, oath on a Bible to enforce the laws of the land. So when he says that, he just he I didn't I didn't think it was possible for him to grade himself any further. He's a buffoon, but he's managed with this dog and pony show. He did

a strain with him. This is a strain. We we've seen this from him time and time again. We've played the soundbite for our audience many times of him with those two other losers from the Lincoln project making fun of Trump voters with their maps. Yeah. Like Ukraine like oh that with their maps and their math. Um in like you know the fake southern accent like what a bunch of idiots down there in the south. And now you hear it again. The poorly educated that Oh, I So you're if you're poorly educated in Don Lemon's world. Trailer Park fat losers. Oh, what is wrong with the trailer park? Honestly, Don Lemon, the only reason he has tons of money, James, is because he's done serial lawsuits against people over and over and over to to pad his wallet because he's too incompetent when it comes to talent to earn the money the oldfashioned way.

That's why Don Lemon is rich. Um, he suing Elon Musk. That's not his first lawsuit. Trust me on that. I have documented many of them. And he now sits there in his ivory tower looking down on the people who made him a name, who helped him get at least some portion of that money from CNN. But he looks at them like they're He he finds them disgusting if they commit the one sin of wanting to see illegals who molest their children

get kicked out. Don Lemon Don Lemon is a small man. He's a small man. Period. That's it.

Yeah. I mean, honestly, man is a stretch for Don Lemon. I I don't know what he is.

He's definitely been He's definitely been stretched. I mean just man. It's the the word man is almost a compliment. You know what I mean? Like an actual man conotes character above all in my mind. He doesn't have it. I don't know what he is. He's just a little worm. Just a little weird. You know,

I look forward to seeing him have to handle this whole controversy. Yeah. You know, it it's back in I'm older than you obviously. Uh when I was in my college years, the Vietnam War was raging. People had different opinions. the opinions were, you know, people were inflamed, out, enraged, but you could at least say, okay, I disagree with so and so vehemently, but the one thing I can do is I can understand where they're coming from, where they think they're coming from, it makes sense. Yeah.

Um uh the one thing I didn't approve of, even if you were against the war and there were people who were passionate,

they didn't believe that, you know, that we had our presence there was justified. But then they'd spit on soldiers and they went, "Oh, these guys, they're drafted. They can't do anything. They've they've got to go over there. They've got to do their thing or they volunteered. Very heroic people like Jim Stockdale. I played him in a movie once and got to know him. Magnificent man, great war hero. Um,

Perau's running mate. Yeah. But but here's the thing. I don't understand what these people are on about. I don't understand how Don Limon is thinking. I just don't understand what he's in. You're right. I mean, few do.

Look, what what do you want? If you if you have a nation, what do you want? You want borders. You have to have borders. That defines a nation. You have to have borders. They have to be enforced. You have to have a military for enemies foreign. You have to have law enforcement for enemies within. You have to have uh regulations in place to have an economy. And more than any of it, you need two things. You need free and fair elections. And you need the right of the populace to bear arms in case these don't do what the Constitution tells them they must.

Mhm. It's just it's so I'm sorry, but it is infuriating. Like I think about my So my dad died when I was in high school.

Mine did. I was But my mom remarried. Yeah, we talked about that one of the at one point, but my mom remarried and the man she remarried when I was young, like 19, had three kids um of his own that he brought into the family and and ever since uh they've been part of my family. And one of those children was a young man named Patrick who unfortunately died at age 47 of a heart attack. And it was tragic. But my point is simply, Patrick did not go to MIT like you, James Woods. He was a dear, sweet guy who wound up managing a write aid, which is fine. There's there's absolutely nothing wrong with managing a write aid. It was actually a lot of work for the guy and he was really good at it. And you know where he lived? He lived in a trailer.

Yeah. And he married a nice woman who loved him and helped him raise his kids. And he was a genuinely good man. Like absolutely a person of character. Would never have crossed an ethical line or treated anybody poorly. And to hear this elitist snot sit there and dismiss anybody who lives in a trailer as as some sort of scum that can't be in the presence of Don Lemon while in the same breath ripping people who are poorly educated. I don't know. He I I had my team just check. I had no idea where Don Lemon went to college.

Brooklyn College. Okay. And some other university he appears to have left. But but he spent the rest of his life looking down on people who didn't take that step.

Who mocking anybody who votes Republican. That's the underlying implication as stupid idiots. And honestly, it's no accident that he became one of the faces of CNN. Of course, that's what the CNN's and the MSNBC's of the world, that's exactly what they're looking for.

They're not news organizations. They're propaganda organs for the Democratic Party. Don't kid yourself. I'm going to tell you something about a trailer park. My beloved mother, my beloved mother used to love to play cards at night. And she used to play with all these little ladies, you know, and and there was this couple George and Lou Lof and George Lou they're both like they look like Tweedle Dum and Tweedle D. They're two little round people and so on. And my mom would say, "Hey, I'm going to go out with with George and Lou." And I'd say, she said, "Why don't you come to lunch with her?"

I go, "Ma, you know, Lou is always like laughing and giggling and George doesn't say a word. I I don't know what to do. I mean, but okay, I'll do it because I'd be visiting and I didn't get to see her as much as I'd like to when she was in Florida." So, I go out to lunch with him and one day she said, "We're going to go to the beach. We're going to go to Clearwater Beach. It's so beautiful down there. Clear one. One of the most beautiful beaches in Florida. And I said, "Okay, George, you going to go to the beach?" He goes, "Okay, okay, good." So, we go to the beach and the lady said, "Let's go down and dip our toe in the water and we'll take a walk." And they go, "Come on, George.

Dip our toe in the water." And he goes, "No, thank you." Nope. I said, "So, George, I guess I'll sit here with you." Yeah. I said, "So, George, you like it there in the in the trailer park?" He go, "Yeah, it's nice. We got a little clubhouse and Yeah, it's nice. said, "I like it." Yeah. And I said, "But you don't like the water much, do you?" He goes, "Nah, I'm not crazy about the water." I said, "How about boats? You can get in a boat. You don't have to. You can be on the boat." He goes, "I really don't like boats."

I said, "Well, chase the short. I mean, would you ever on a boat?" He goes, "Oh, yeah." I said, "What what did the boat sink or something?" He goes "Yeah." I said, "You you were on a boat that sunk?" He said, 'Yeah, I was on four of them. I said, "You on four boats that sunk?" He said, "Yeah." I said, "Where?" He said, "Omahigh Beach, June 6th, 1944.

I brought those boys on shore and they died and we some managed to get, you know, get the boat halfway back. Some of the boat sunk. This guy was on Omaha Beach living in a trailer park and Don Lemon would have to stand on a stepladder to be able to sniff his ass. That's a worthless

perfectly said his obsession with race. I mean again I'm the face of this because I'm a black gay man. His last words practically before CNN fired him. He wanted to remind new managers I'm black I'm black and I'm gay. I'm black and I'm gay as this is a force field around you cannot you cannot fire somebody like that. And he is not alone in this weird race essentialism that continues to permeate some factions of the left. most factions of let's be honest they're not over

it's just a mantra it's a worthless mantra this let me show you what happened on the view yesterday as um Pam Greer actress Pam Greer who's also what do we know her from this is before my time Foxy Brown

she was Foxy Brown and she's done some other stuff too but she's on the view because she's an actress and this is how she described her childhood in Ohio. Watch this.

You faced a lot of racism uh growing up in Columbus, Ohio. How did that shape you?

Well, the military wouldn't allow black families to live on the base. So, you had to live in an apartment and and you and you couldn't take a bus. You didn't couldn't afford a car. You walked your dad's walk to the base. And woo, sometimes we would go from, you know, tree shade to shade to get back to the apartment. My brother and I, my mom, with bags and my mom would go, "Don't look. Don't look. Don't look." And she'd pull us away. Wow.

Because there is someone hanging from a tree. And they have a memorial for it now where you can see where people were and left. Mh.

And it triggers me today to see that a voice can be silenced. Mhm. And if a white family supported a black, they're going to get burned down or killed or lynched as well.

Yeah. Oh my god. Okay. So, James, she's she was born in 49 and she wants us to believe as a as a young girl. So, what are we talking about? Maybe 59, 10 years later, 1960. Well, well, first of all, first first of all, let me just in

black people lynched in Ohio. Well, more importantly, I did a movie called Distance years and years and years ago. We filmed it in Fort um uh uh uh in Georgia um right outside of Hinesville. Uh and it was about integration in the army and the army was integrated in 1954. you could, you know, it was Eisenhower was responsible for making sure that the army was completely integrated in 1954. So I find it hard to believe, I don't know for a fact, but I find it hard to believe that there was segregated housing in the army after 1954. It was uh I think completely forbidden, but but I may be wrong. Uh, and you know, and I don't think there were about the claim that she walked by and saw black bodies lynched on the trees in Columbus, Ohio, where there were approximately zero lynchings and only 11 in the entire state with the last one being in 1911.

1911. This woman was born in 1949. But the whole all the cast of the view, oh, it's horrible. the audience. Oh, that like as if she were born in like 1870, James, that's but that's so representative of the left. Like not there's been no progress. It's just we're lynching people. And today to this day, the whites want to lynch the blacks. That's how she landed it. It's the only the only massive discrimination that I see in the world today is Christian churches being burned all over the world. They're being burned at rates that are just astonishing. big cathedrals and I mean all over the world Christian massacre in Africa going on in all these places and in the United States now there's this mantra been starting oh you know white people are horrible and white supremacist white this and white that it's like you know when I grew up you you just lived your life it was you know Republicans get elected in the old days

it's like okay we're here Democrats get elected now Republicans when they get elected Again, they got to clean up the mess that the the Democrats are never satisfied. They are the party of misery. If there is no real misery, they have to create misery because if you have misery, you can do the grift. Okay? They've spent $24 billion. It It worked out to $170,000 per person after they took a a census of homeless people in California. Okay. They $170,000 per person. That's what we have spent. And the homelessness is there everywhere you look.

I mean, there's always some it's like you're trying to create more of it with that money.

I mean, we're driving down the street yesterday. You're in beautiful Brenwood and there's some guy pinching a loaf on the sidewalk. I mean, it's just horrible. It's horrifying. It's horrifying how we live.

Well, I'm afraid to ask what pinching a loaf means. Use your imagination. Some sort of

defecation. Is that what you're suggesting? Is that what that is? Yeah. Or is it a sexual thing?

No. No. Okay. Okay. So, I got it. Yeah. That's so gross. In in Look, I I have to tell my beloved wife Sarah, I love her so much. You know, we always go everywhere together. We're like a little nation or two. We're always hanging out. We love each other. We have a great time. Everybody goes, "Oh, you guys, you and we've been together 10 years. We missed one night apart when I did a sleep study and that was it."

Okay. And so, you know, we had my I had a Porsche. I was driving around a Mac, you know, SUV and she was with me, but I had this little Mini Cooper and I said to Sarah, you know, why don't you just use a Mini Cooper when you're going into Beverly Hills or something cuz it's easy to park, has frontwheel drive, so you parking zip, you don't have to do three-point parking and all that. She's a great driver, but it doesn't. So, great. Finally, she said, "If I have to see one more naked man at eye level in uh Los Angeles, I'm going to just I'm going to just stay home." I said, "What you think they come? They all I'm like I'm like at eye level. It's like all the time. I swear to God she started taking pictures in the Mini Cooper. You're just you know it's like oh my god it it never ends. But I figured it out one day. Any everything that the Democrats do or allow to be done has a motive. And the

motive is always about one thing. It's about power. Because when you have power, you get elected and election is power. And once you have the power when you're elected, then you can set up all the NOS's and all the USID and all the, you know, you know, fire for the Palisades, you know, all this that they do, and then pocket all the money yourselves. Give me a perfect example.

Yes. Train to nowhere. You want to hear a statistic? Here's a little mathematics for I went to MIT. Here's a little arithmetic. There are 39 million uh Americans in uh Californian citizens. If you were to take every citizen in California and you were to send them to Tokyo, $1,200, $200 to take the bullet train to Kyoto and then stay in the Ritz Carlton overnight, $700, $700, total of $2,800. You would spend sending every Californian on a beautiful trip to Japan on the bullet train and go to Kyoto. $19 billion. And you'd still have $19 billion left over for Gavin Newsome to Grift for the Train to Nowhere, which has never in all the years we've been funding it ever laid one foot of track.

That is so horrifying and something people are going to be hearing a lot more about as we approach 28. Got to run, James. Thanks so much. James Woods, everybody, his new album is Tombstone Opera. Check it out on YouTube, Spotify, and more. Lots of love. We're back with Brit and Whit. From Amazon MGM Studios comes Melania. Every detail, every decision, every stitch intentional. This new film takes you inside the 20 days leading up to the 2025 presidential inauguration through the eyes of the first lady herself. From fittings to critical meetings to private moments, witness the precision behind her return to one of the world's most powerful roles. Melania, only in theaters January 30th.

All right, we've got a lot to get to this hour. Cultural news, including the latest in the Beckham family bombshell. And it is now 100 p.m. in the East. Uh, do you know where your employees are? Well, you better because at 2 PM there's going to be some sort of a walk out by all weird leftists in support of I don't know against ICE. They're trying to make a point about ICE. I'm going to play the sound bite. But first, let me introduce my panel. Britt Mayer's here. She's founder of Rooted Wings and host of the Britt Mayer Show and Will Wit, who is author of Do Not Comply, which is my own advice to my own employees if they're thinking about getting up and walking out of two. Let me give you a heads up.

If you do it, don't bother coming back. You're all fired. But I don't employ crazy people, so I don't have to worry about this. Yeah. So, I don't think Brit and Whit are worried either. I know your name is Will, but I just kind of like the Brit and Wit thing. Um, I don't think you guys are worried either about having people in your orbit walking out, but let's just look at the people who are encouraging it, and we'll keep an open mind, you know, like maybe they'll maybe they'll convince us. Let's watch.

I'm as bad AS HELL AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE. ON January 20th, we are walking out to free America

and walking in to remove the regime. We're walking out of work, walking out of school.

We're walking out of anywhere and everywhere because it's past time and we stop cooperating with fascism.

Starting at 2 p.m. local time, we'll start a wave of walkouts across the nation.

Send a clear message that we demand freedom from this hostile and lawless takeover of our country.

Then we'll start walking in. Congress has the power to remove a tyrant from office. It's not an option. It's their sworn duty.

So, at 3 p.m., we'll start walking in to local congressional offices to demand impeachment and removal.

Donald Trump has committed tyranny and obstruction of justice. And turning ICE into a paramilitary force is an act of treason. On January 20th, we are telling our congressional officials that it is their duty right now to impeach, convict, and remove.

Okay. I'm not sure well whether they're going to get her done. And I also have an issue with just saying 2 p.m. local. Like what what does it mean exactly? Because you know 2 p.m. here in the east is different than 2 p.m. in California like where Brit is. I I think there's going to be chaos. I'm not sure I like the planning or the faces of the movement, but what what do you make of it?

No, I made sure to go and get my latte before this, you know, just to make sure uh for the long lines that are going to be happening with all the baristas out out of work after this.

Right. Right. Good point. And they obviously don't have very much organization. You know, this is some social media marketing campaign, but all it really shows is how much of a religion all of this is to these people and how unserious they are. You know, it's so easy to just go online and make some silly video about, oh, we're all going to walk out and we're so tough and we're so brave and we're really fighting against fascism when reality, I mean, look at what they're doing. They're on their phones with free speech talking about being able to be let out of their job to go and protest the presidents or ICE agents or whatever it is. Like, you live the most comfortable, wonderful life throughout human history ever. And you're sitting here complaining about this just solely to get virtue signaling points over other people. It's not going to be successful. It's very disorganized and I think a lot of people are probably

going to lose their jobs if they're actually serious about leaving. You know, Brit, we were talking with Adam Corolla earlier this week and he was saying all of these people are narcissists. That's what we're seeing everywhere is just raging narcissism. I'm going to show you one video. I I'm not sure if it's narcissism in this person's case. It's kind of shocking if it is, but she's kind of indicative of the vast majority of these women that we're seeing online. these little white woke liberal warriors out there and how they think and talk. And look, here she is in S 36.

With the current state of the world and specifically the country, Bob, huge glasses, nose ring. Maybe being single and childless,

oh boy, is actually my biggest asset. I'm not trying to sound like, oh wow, I'm going to save the day cuz have I know I'm not I'm just one person. But all my friends who have children, they can't go to a protest and risk getting arrested or worse. So, I guess those of us who don't, like, let's go. I I genuinely want to discuss this with you because the tell is right there, Britt. You don't see a Brit mayor out there at any of these protests because you're together, you're beautiful, you have a loving husband, you have a happy home life, you've got stuff going on professionally as well. Things are good.

The girl, she gave it up at the top, right? Like maybe being single and childless is an asset. She's trying to talk herself into it. like my life choices that got me this terrible hair and this ugly nose ring and this hideous outfit.

It were good. I feel validated cuz I see all these other women who look like me

doing what I'm doing and I found my army. I finally belong. There's definitely a big element of that and what we're seeing in Minneapolis.

Yeah, I think it goes into like the social contagion aspect where they all look the same. No offense, but that's just from a very neutral perspective. They all look the same. They look weird. They look out of place. They look like the old theater kids from high school who never really figured out how to do adulthood, and they're clinging on to the weird hair, the teddy bears, the oversized jewelry, the loud cl colors. Um, I think it's sad. And I was actually watching last night I there was some some little video clip of it must have been like a parade of these people. I don't even know where it was, but it just occurred to me. It is so sad that so many of these people just look mentally ill. It's like there's become this pride in not fitting into society because you're so weird, because you don't have a marriage, because you don't have kids, because you like you don't fit in and so you've made

that your flex. And I think it's very sad. It It looks like a mental illness. It doesn't look like anything I would be drawn to or most normal people, critical thinkers, independent thinkers would truly be drawn to. It looks like it's a club for the misfits. You know, the Misfit Toys movie like in my kids watch it during Christmas. It's like that. It's like Island of the Misfit Toys trying to be important and make that their flex. But yeah, you're never going to see me.

Let me ask you a question about this gal. I I think if we got this gal in our clutches, we could turn her life around in five days. I really do. I think we we would make her over, we'd give her a meaningful job, we would talk to her about getting rid of the nose ring and those big blue nails. We would give her like a cute little wardrobe that, you know, she looks petite unlike most of her brethren who are out there. And I like I think that girl really just wants I mean I've said this about others in this protest, they really just want a boyfriend or a girlfriend. like the ones who like you can tell these are sad saps out there will I don't like part of it is a commentary on America and young people today their inability to connect to like be happy to find love they're they're just so miserable and they lean into unattractive which never served anyone well in the history of the world

oh I mean why would you go and dress up like that if it wasn't for some sort of reason there has to some sort of mental cognition behind that to be able to go and do something like that. Um, I find it very sad as well, but I honestly I think I have to say I disagree with you with being able to change that person. I think that there are some of these people who are out there who have made this such a deep-seated part of their personality, their morality, their reason for living that I think it would take longer than 5 days for most of these people. Now, I think that if they had someone who truly loved them and a boyfriend or whatever, like you were saying before, then you could swage a lot of these different things that are going on inside these people's psyches.

But, I mean, when you get validation from every corner of America, I mean, you're talking about American society and our culture right now, what is it? I mean, it's it's disgusting. It's horrible. I mean, you have Megan the Stallion getting artist of the year, Fouchy getting National Geographic made out of him, Black Lives Matter getting the Nobel Peace Prize or nominated for the Peace Prize. Like, the culture is just dafted and and awful. And so, these people doing these weird things and being these kind of people are getting that validation from everywhere. And so, if they continue to get that validation and that sense of meaning from this nonsense, then it's going to be very hard to change these people. And I don't really see a world where any of us three could come together with these people and have a unified America, which might be a good thing.

But I do think if if if they would be less homely, they would be accurate. Yes, that is true.

I'm not trying to be mean. I genuinely believe it. I think they could start with some mossic and some Accutane in 90% of the cases that we are seeing out there and they'd be on their way to happiness. They don't have to terrorize ice. I'm just being honest. I really think these things could help.

Raw milk. and maybe some Invisalign that could that could also be very helpful. Um there's on the narcissism front this woman she she tracks she was on my um Twitter feed this morning and I think like the self arandisement is representative of what we're seeing from a lot of these little weekend warriors out there. Like if ice crosses my path I'm going to kill them. I'm going to You're not like okay you know you've been saying that. I'm not trying to encourage it. trust me. But I'm just saying like they're super tough like looking into their iPhone. Um here's this woman who who went a different way. She went the martyr route. Uh all I know her as is liberal white woman according to the internet who's got very bleached hair and a Minnesota sweatshirt on for the listening audience. She looks probably 40 to me. Here, watch.

This is a message for my mom. If I am executed by ICE officers today, it will not be because of anything that I did.

I want you to know a couple things. First, okay, I don't carry weapons on me. Second, I won't be holding any signs. There will be no indication from me that I'm a violent person or a threat to anyone. I do not plan on following anyone. I do not plan on screaming or shouting or even speaking to anyone.

I am there to observe and document. Okay. This is a historical moment for me in my lifetime for the state of Minnesota. And no matter what the outcome is,

I believe it deserves to be documented. If I am executed today by ICE officers about you,

it will not be because of anything that I did. I'm saying this because I need you to understand what you're supporting and what you're fighting against and possibly reconsider.

Megan, what is it what is it called when you set up in legal terms? Like when you set up a defense ahead of time,

what's not not a defense at all. I mean, that's what it reads. Yeah. Oh, and of course, it's all about her. Like this is this is a big day for me. I'm part of history. I'm gonna get executed. We're all Renee Good. Yeah. Who was unfairly executed by a terrible ICE agent and I'm basically her. This woman needs it. She needs it, you guys. Like she it's doing something inside of her that like is is bringing her alive for the first time. She feels needed and relevant and like she's actually convinced herself that she's going to be a martyr that ICE is just executing like heavy set blonde 40-year-olds in the street because they're doing that for the fun of it. I think it's Marxism.

It's this whole the wave of Marxism that's been pushed on, you know, the youth and even that age, whatever age that is, is the oppressor oppressed narrative. And so she has embraced that she is a part of the oppressed and she's out to get the oppressor. And so if anything happens because she is a part of this minority oppressed community, then it's the oppressor because it's nothing she did. It's the whole Marxism nar narrative recycled, repackaged for 2026. It's boring and usual.

Don't you think if she like even if she had a job, Will, and I'm really genuinely trying to solve their problems. What if we got her a job in like data processing or something like like the small wins are are good enough, you know? just have little wins in your day where like you completed a task and you maybe had a boss who said good job. April just taking a shot, you know, and like these little these little moments of victory could maybe make a whole person who doesn't feel like she's got to go out there and talk about how she's definitely dying and she but she's part of history. Meanwhile, no one's going to lay a finger on April.

No, of course. But I to be honest, this might make me sound a little Gen Z millennial with saying this, but in terms of the current American job, HR bureaucratic corporate world, I think there are a lot of issues with it. And I think that it kind of kills a lot of people inside when they see the processes at their work and and the processions and and HR world and all that kind of stuff. It makes people really down about having to to work in America today. There's not a lot of meaning. You live the life exactly as everyone else, answering emails all day, staring at a screen. You go back home and watch Netflix and your life is I don't want to say basically worthless, but you basically view your life as worthless because that's all you are. If you died, your company would replace you the next day. So, I don't know if necessarily getting a job for like a data analyst for this woman would be the

end- all beall of changing her life. It would be a small win. But what I really think is that these people need more. They need some sort of purpose. They need something that is going to give them the drive when they wake up every day and say, "Man, life is great. I love my life. It's a it's a miracle that I am here, a complete blessing that I get to live in America and and be this person. But unfortunately, I think for a lot of people, especially I think for the younger generation, they don't have that. And I think the atomization of people in this country is just going to get worse and worse off of that and you're going to find more people radicalized by these things.

I want to follow up with you Will on this because I know you're you're big on the raw milk. You're into maha. You are too, Brit. But like we're all taking steps to like improve the quality of the food that we put in our bodies and how we take care of ourselves and hopefully extend our longevity and in and our wellness while we're here. And I I actually think that this is all part of it. Like I think that look, it's no accident that virtually all these women are very heavy. And I do believe that like you sit there whether you're male or female and you stare at your phone all day and you shove in potato chips mindlessly. You never work out. You never go for a walk. You don't have a rich social circle, you know, of people who you love or who love you.

I've said it before. I'm going to say it again. You're not getting action. Like whether it's from a spouse, a a boyfriend or girlfriend, but like there's no no one touching you in a way that makes you feel loved or adored or hot. You're certainly not having any euphoria that comes from an active healthy sex life. All this I think these are building like these weird little empty shells of people who can be powder kegs or they can just be sad little, you know, like April just like sad, you know, what do I I need something to make me feel special. And I I actually do kind of think we need to like backward quite a ways to try to get rid of this problem. And it starts with like how do we start filling people up? I mean, the real answer, Brit, is it's your mom and dad. They have first responsibilities in this department. But like the iPhone dependence is bad. The ubiquitous streaming options, you can you never

have to leave your TV if you don't want to. That's bad. Will's point about what corporate America looks like right now is bad. The absence of real humanto human contact and ways of meeting people is bad. The increase, I would argue, in like ubiquitous gummies and cannabis is not great. Even though alcohol use is going down, that stuff's going up. All these seems like seem like recipes in a toxic stew that's creating those people we're looking at.

I think a big part of it, Megan, is and you know I like we share the same faith. And I think a huge part of it is that we have seen this trend toward nihilism in this country where it's God is dead. You are the god of your own life. We are just these little machines that have there's really no purpose because there's nothing ever after. And so that sense of nihilism that's really infected us in America in 2026, I think is a huge culprit in why we're seeing people who lack purpose, who go home and they do they get on their screens endlessly because they have no purpose beyond the the moment. And I think that to the antidote to that is to infuse reinfuse purpose and meaning not just in the ever after in our faith but also in things like patriotism having love for country and hoping that this country withstands the next 250 years. Having purpose for the next generation that our children will grow up with the freedoms and

liberty that we enjoy. even the purpose of defending against radicalism that can create a new future with AI, you know, spiraling out of control. But I think when you have a lot of people who have been given no sense of identity and purpose beyond the moment, you end up with what we're seeing right now.

Let me show you something on this. Well, this we've kind of been following. We haven't been able to get these sound bites on all week, but we on the show have been following the plight of this person Lizzy.

Oh, yeah. Liz sister needs a date. Here's Lizzy. Here's the first video that we were going to play when we first got introduced to this gal uh and her pitch. Take a listen to Hot 50. Here we are at my official dating profile request. I am 42. Actually, I'm almost 42. I am a relationship anarchist. I am on the lookout for somebody who right now I'd be able to call and say, "Hey, get in the passenger seat and let's go some up." If you're interested in some up, if you're not afraid of a woman who can speak her mind, um, if you're interested in sitting in a side seat, message me.

We got to do. Okay. She blew a kiss in the camera. Is that real? She's 42. I caught it. I caught the kiss. That's real. Oh, she she she should do so well as to wind up with you. Will uh we did actually play that soundbite, but there's an update in her case. Okay, so she um well, I'll just play it. Here's s two 52 51 51

putting on a gas mask. Not getting around. putting on the protective safety goggles. I mean, come on.

And the cafe over the gas mask. Get the gear and get outside if you can. Of course.

Those are swim goggles. Okay. But I don't believe this is real. There's no way this is real. No.

It's the huge protective safety goggles we all got in in shop and and you know if you didn't wear them, somebody could lose an eye and then they were mandatory. Um here's the epilogue where she checked back in and let us know a little bit on how she got this way. S 53. You know, one thing that hating men has trained me for is literally trained me for chasing ICE cars off of my street. Five of them right now. Following down the neighborhood, honking, blowing whistles, telling them to off. All that rage that I have felt towards men is coming out.

I have been trained for this moment, I will follow you everywhere. Okay. So, well, we went from trying to find a passenger princess who wants to date and some up to dancing in our ice goggles. Yeah. Okay. To the rage I have against men is coming out. So, it doesn't seem like she got

a lover out of her tactics. I don't know whether um this whole thing is a massive dating scheme for some of these women, but Lizzy, she's she's a live one.

Yeah, I hope that she's still single. I'd love to message her. And, you know, I I don't think I'd ever be bored in a relationship like that. you know, if you love a good debate. But obviously these people again, I mean, it really goes back to this whole thing. How can you do these things if you had anything of any sort of interest going on in your life that brings you joy?

Obviously, there is nothing that is bringing this person joy because you would not act like that. I mean, even if you had like a good book to read or something like that, your life would be completely turned around in a day. But these people harp on these things and they get so invested in it and they want to say they hate men and come at me, Oh my goodness. I mean, it's like it's laughable. Obviously,

can you imagine approaching this woman in a bar not knowing that this was like uh ty tycoon Lizzy typhoid Lizzy? Like it was like I hate men. I'll get my poison over everyone. Um yeah, it's not great. So, the problem becomes self-fulfilling, right? It's like one thing leads to another leads back to the same thing and so on. And then next thing you know, they're out there harassing an ICE officer. Okay, I want to keep going because it's not just people like Lizzy or the weird pink-haired, blue- nailed gals

who are struggling, April, right? There's not just the April of the world who are struggling in their family relationships. That's my presumption. It's also people at the upper echelon of society when it comes to money, fame, privilege, access, you name it. And that brings me to David Beckham, Victoria Beckham, and their son Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nola. And the wife is an ays herself. She comes from a very wealthy family. So I don't think she cares about her husband's money or her parents, her in-laws fame. And this may be part of the problem because Brooklyn Beckham just went jihad on his mom and dad, David Beckham and Victoria. And uh forgive me because he posted it in a written post, so I have to read it. Uh he says he had no, this is page six reporting. He had no choice but to break his silence on his long-standing family feud. The mother and the wife do not get along, but it's beyond that. Now we

learn. In a lengthy Instagram story statement, he said his parents had been controlling narratives in the press about his family and tried to ruin his relationship with his wife, Nola Peltz Beckham. Uh, okay, here is what he wrote. I've been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed. I do not want to reconcile with my family. I'm not being controlled. I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life. For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events, and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into. My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my

relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn't stopped. My mom canled making Nola's dress in the 11th hour. Victoria Beckham is a designer now. Of course, despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress. Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children. No idea what that means. They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because the terms of the deal then would be initiated. My hold out affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since. During the wedding planning, my mom went so far as to call me evil because Nicola and I chose to include my nanny Sandra and Nola's nonie at our table presumably at the wedding because they both didn't have their husbands. Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to

ours. Sounds like Victoria was not happy. She called him evil for that. Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I've received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly that were sent to the press on their orders. Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere. This last summer, my mom hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song in front of our 500 wedding guests. Mark Anthony called me to the stage where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife, but instead my mom was waiting to dance with me.

Instead, she danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I've never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. I know. It's bad. It's bad. We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness and not anxiety and embarrassment. Almost done. My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we've tried to come together as one. My mom has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable. The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backward.

I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety and for the first time in my life since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared.

Whoa. Whoa. Dirty laundry out on the clothes pins on the line. Yeah, I'm literally crying right now.

What is What's happening here? I confess I haven't been totally paying attention to this other than I knew Victoria and the new wife of her son do not get along. So, get us up to speed. What What are your thoughts on it?

I don't know. I was hoping you were going to pitch it to Will. You want Will to go first? Will Will's got first?

Here is my thought on it. My thought on it is this is why my husband hates social media because he's like social media has ruined culture. And while I agree that there are moments like this where you see it, there is also good with social media. So that being a caveat, I think that we've we've reached this weird era where it's like we instead of handling things privately, and I get that they're celebrities, so things are a little different. It's like royalty. But I've gone through stuff with family that was never made public that was kept private and we handled it and relationships were broken and a couple were restored but we didn't air public life our public underwear you know is what this feels like. I don't know where to stand on it and I think it makes the public uncomfortable because now the onus is on us to take a side and we don't even know what's going on. So, I think that this is where um airing

public dirty laundry like this just feels uncomfortable and wrong and we just want it to kind of be private. And I know that celebrities are from a different world, but I don't know. It makes me feel like I'm supposed to take a side and I don't even know what's going on.

I mean, it's one of the reasons why, you know, when when I started become more public, I and then we we had kids, it was very clear to both Doug and to me we would not be putting them out there at all for consumption. We don't post their pictures. You know, to this day, it's very hard to find a picture of my kids on the internet. Like, only one publication did it a long time ago when they were little. And that's by design because we're religious about it. We don't think just because we've chosen to be in the public eye, they should have to do it. Now, the Beckhams went a different way. But I will also say in their defense, they're the Beckhams. I mean, it would have been really hard, you know, and I think the same about Tom Brady and Jazelle. Like, what? they're not going to have their kids show up at the Super Bowl and watch Tom Brady, you know, like not gonna show have their kids show up at the World Cup and watch

David Beckham. So, it's like it is hard to maintain the privacy when you're a mega star like those guys are.

I agree to an extent. I also think that one of the things that he said in that post that I I read yesterday was about the branding, making your family a brand. And I've even seen small little social media accounts like cute homeschool moms do that where I'm like I don't know if you fully understand that you're creating a brand versus a family and you're having your kid play a part and fit them into this picture. And I think that's the lesson in all of this even for you know us normal little moms is just to be careful about how we represent our families and our kids. And we also think ahead about you know our kids will live the internets forever. So they live with the images that we push out. Um and I think it is a caution to not make your child your brand.

Yes. I never felt it was important enough to have strangers tell me how cute my kids were

to sacrifice their privacy, their anonymity, and their right to grow up without the the public lens on them all the time. Um obviously things were different in the Beckham family, and you can feel this kid's resentment, Will. Yeah, I can sympathize with everything you guys are saying, but I also kind of look at it and I'm like, is this kid gonna return all the money from his family? Is he going to give up everything that they've given him and all that? Or is he just going to come on social media and start crying about it?

You know, it feels kind of like a loser mentality. Now he can cuz he married an era.

Exactly. It's like loser mentality in my opinion where he's coming out and now saying this after all these years and and putting this out there when he feels safe and confident enough and you know, everyone's anxiety and stress and all that. That's all the rage now. You know, everyone wants to hear about how stretched you are because of all these things. And it's just like you look back in history and think about like actual monarchs and and empires and and family drama within them. And I can't imagine these people were going to the common folk and saying, "Look at all how stressed my my dad made me about these things, you know?" And maybe that's a a weird example, but honestly, like it just feels so fake and nonsensical. Like talking about choosing a side, I have no side because I think they're both just ridiculous people that we shouldn't worry about whatsoever.

I kind of have a side because I I mean I'm biased obviously because I I have three kids, but

I think you should respect your mother and father. I mean I even if they're imperfect, even if they're doing things that bother you, I think you should respect your mother and father, especially when they're public figures. that stuff he wrote about Victoria Beckham at the wedding was meant to humiliate her.

And I'm sure it did. I'm sure she was mortified. And I think whatever she's doing, I trust whatever she's doing, she's doing it out of like a deep, profound love for her son. Like she's maybe not behaving bad well. I can't totally take him at face value, but she seems desperate to have her son in her life, Brit, and maybe she's not handling it perfectly. I I would hope a child would remember that. And even though he's madly in love with the new wife and maybe there's some friction there, like to keep some grace there for the mother and father who raised him and obviously adore him.

Yeah. And I mean, if you're the mother-in-law, note to self, like you probably don't want to jump in on the first dance. I mean, I'm just going to throw that out there. If that actually happened, probably not a good call.

Not good. But, you know, we were talking about this before we went on the air. the the one thing that I know I know this now I accept the royal family out of this because they're royals like everybody comes to them everyone's subservient to them so this is not about Megan Markle um who behaved very badly as we all know but in general you as the mother in particular have to make it your job that your son's wife likes you

y you got to treat that like a jo o because he is going to prioritize her over you. And if you make it a contest between the two of you, you'll lose. I'm sorry to say it, but I know it's true. Mine are still young enough that they don't, you know, that's a ways off. But that's human nature. That's that's the way we continue the human race. Of course, he's going to prioritize his wife over his mom. and the moms of the world, we just have to bite our lips and suck it up and pretend if we must that we love this girl in order to keep our son in our lives. Am I wrong?

No, you're so right. And I'm so I shout out to my mother-in-law who I know is listening to this who has done the most incredible job of being the most loving mother-in-law and never never causing any issues in our marriage. And she knows her boundary lines. She loves my husband as her son and she loves me as a daughter and has always encouraged and strengthened you know our marriage but has never interfered or meddled to make it where he has to pick one side or another. So many lessons in this topic

good don't and I think one of part of the it my mother-in-law always used to say uh you know the the rule about like three a three day no more than a three-day visit like fish and visitors go bad after three days. Um, but she but the one thing she we lost her last April but

the one thing she always said was um that uh she was wonderful. She never gave advice unless you asked him

like would she would never just like weigh in on something she saw you doing with the kids or she saw Doug and I discussing or debating or even like big career moments that she was living through with me, tumultuous stuff. If I asked her, she would give me her opinion, but she never offered it gratuitously, which I do think helped avoid resentments between us, just given the nature of the role. Right. Right. The roles between. What do you think? Will is the man on this panel.

Yeah. I mean, I'm not married, so I don't have, you know, mothers-in-laws and and these kind of things. But I think what you guys are saying is spot on. think that right now in America there is a a problem with young men actually being too attached to their moms and not actually kind of leaving the coupe and and going out and doing things on their own and being too dependent on that feminine energy from their mother. I Sigman Freud and Carl Jung both talk about this quite extensively about staying with your mother for too long. So I think you do have to be willing to do that. And I think that if a mom can't handle that, that that's what you're going to do, then there's probably some validation needs that she has on her part that she needs to address herself.

Oh, I'm definitely going to make sure my children do not read Freud or Young. Get back into the basement.

That is much better. Yes. Don't read that. Okay, stand by. We're going to take a Brit a break and then we're going to come back with Brit and Whit. Uh, plenty more to discuss. Don't go anywhere.

So, I mentioned Megan Markle as an exception to the rule that the the mother of the groom has to bow down in a way to the woman who's being added to the family. Of course, Prince Harry's mother passed, but his stepmother is the queen of England and so she bows to no one. Um, so in any event, the dynamics are different, but Megan Markle is in the news today and there is an interesting headline. The headline is, "Sadly, with Love Megan, her Netflix series on how to be a mini Martha

Stewart will not be coming back for a third season." W and of course, the dirty little secret with all of this is there actually was no second season either. There was only the first season which as soon as it wrapped and hit air they they had her announce oh I'm getting a second season which were just additional episodes she had already there was no renewal she just made it look like the first one was a success so they gave her a second wrong she had bought they had bought like a 20 episode run or whatever it was I maybe it's a 10 episode run I didn't actually wind up watching anything more than that first season which Moren and I parodyied in one of my favorite things we've ever done on our channel. And

now they say because um things are ranked so poorly. Her her show first debuted in March of 2025. It ranked 383rd on the Netflix list with 5.3 million global views in the first half of 2025. Um, but when season 2 debuted last August, it didn't even make the list of the streamers top 10 uh that week and kind of just crapped out. So, no season 3 for With Love Megan. Instead, she's going to be focused on building her lifestyle brand as ever.

So, are we officially over Megan Markle? I feel like this might be the this might be the nail in the coffin. Is it? What do you think, Will? I didn't know there was ever an era where we did care about Megan Markle, but I I suppose this is a surprise to me. But I I think that's probably right. I mean, I think it's honestly with a lot of these uh things going on in movies, art, TV, things like that, I do think there's actually a shift happening in that where people don't want this kind of uh how would you say fake fakeness that's in all of these things now. I mean, a lot of, you know, I think there's a big turnaround. I think people are starting to realize that this leftism and wokeness and and fakeness that we've put into our art and culture right now has not been successful. And I think there's going to be a big renaissance of people who are getting into these fields right now who are going to start making things in a

much more better and diverse in the way that I mean actual good diversity type of way uh versus what we've been seeing for the last 10 years. And I think Megan Markle was just a fossil of that era of these types of people who we see right through as nonsense. That's a very interesting take on her, Brett, that it's basically her inauthenticity is what doomed her as opposed to her narcissism, her disrespect, her neediness, like that. Just to boil it down to her inauthenticity.

Yeah. I was actually in the UK just a couple months ago. My producer and I went over there and uh we had an opportunity to just kind of on the ground, not about Megan Markle, that's not why we were there, but in casual conversations. No, no, but um yeah, that was my write-off. You know, we were going over to talk about Megan Markle. No, we um we had opportunities with the cabbies who are from South London and they're just real boisterous and they like to talk. And so I frequently I asked about Trump. I asked about America. It's funny their thoughts on the American Revolution. We can talk about that some other time. But uh one of the topics I kept bringing up was Megan Markle. What do you guys think about her? You know, and across the board so negative. And it wasn't because she's not authentic. They they don't like her because of her disrespect. And that was something that they kept qualifying was she's just very

disrespectful. She came in and disrupted. She was entitled. She was arrogant, narcissist. Those were the things I heard in the cabby accent that I love out there on the ground in London and in the UK. Over here, I think is different. I think over here, it's what Will just said is that Americans are really starting to turn toward we want authentic. We don't want things that feel manufactured and forced. And Megan exemplifies that. She she feels forced. She doesn't feel relatable. She feels like she wants to be the Sussex or whatever it is she says, but she doesn't feel like someone I want to hang with, but she was

Sussex now. She's Sussex now. And you have to, you know, you have to call her that. It doesn't feel like someone you want to hang with. So, I think in America it's that we don't feel like she's raw. But in the UK, they don't like her because she's disrespectful and she's arrogant. So, it's interesting that she's lost both sides of the pond on this.

You don't think it's authentic to when you walk into a house that she's visiting and she's the only one in there other than like the maid for for them to have to call out the Duchess of Sussex. She's not even the one arriving. She's in the house. You're walking in

and they're sc remember when I came to visit you and you had the maid yell out the former Miss California.

That's how it works over here. Okay. Yes, totally. I get it. It makes sense. All right, let's keep going because Michelle Obama's back in the news. She's obsessing over race again. I know you're shocked. Shocked. Here's a little bit of that from the Storehouse and Friends podcast this past Sunday. Stop 54.

If I hear of someone whose fashion that I like and I know that they're a person of color, I try to make it a point. But the clothes have to be available. You know, I think we can all do some work to think about that balance in our wardrobes. You know, what does our closet look like and who's in it?

Who are we supporting in it, right? You know, and I think if you have the money to buy Chanel,

then you have the money to buy everybody, um, and so let us be mindful. I I think would be my advice.

Yeah. Oh my gosh. Now, we have to do work to make sure our closet has a diversity of designers. She's not talking about make sure you have pink, green, blue, and black and white. She's like, make sure you have people of color designing the clothes or somehow you've fallen down on your inclusive whatever duties. I don't Do you do that, Will? I'm sure when you got dressed today, did you look into Patagonia like what what is the color the skin color of those behind the brand?

Oh, yeah. If they're not white, I won't buy it. Yeah. It has to be from white people. But it's imperative. Yeah. What What ridiculous. They say there's all these race issues in America and racism is the biggest issue and we have to fight against these things. And you have the most famous people in America constantly always talking about race any single time that they can. And you want racism to be solved. Just shut the hell up. Like you don't have to talk about these things and say anything. And there will be no bad race relations in this country like the way these people proclaim that there are. But they keep bringing him up and saying things like that and pitting us against each other, making it so that now I have to be here looking like if I say, "Oh, I only want to buy from white people, then I look like this horrible person." It's all hypocrisy and nonsense. And these issues only exist because of people like like

Michelle. Yeah. Don't you think Brit like the average person is just do do I like this or don't? No one's thinking about the skin color of the designer. Like that's such a weird thing to ask us to focus on. And in that way, clothing is very

meritocratous. It just screams privileged. I don't have time. I don't have time or I'm not privileged enough to have time to go and find out exactly what melanin type was a part of constructing my jeans. I just buy jeans because they look good. American Eagle. That's where I'm grabbing my jeans. I don't care if it was a black, Asian, white, Hispanic dude or woman that put it all together. I do care about Americanmade. That's important to me. So, if I have the opportunity to buy an Americanmade pair of denim jeans, I'm going to go for that. Over all the woman-made labels I see now when I go shopping, like womanowned is a big label I see. Bpo, blackowned. I see all of those. And I actually avoid those because they annoy me because I think it's a part of this culture that is so obsessed with race and pitting men against women that I just want a good pair of denims. And if it's Americanmade, that that's where it

ends for me. So much the better. Last but not least, in California, they are seriously considering a wealth tax that would tax individuals with a net worth over 1 billion, a one-time 5% tax on their total wealth, which would include unrealized gains. So, if you've made money on the stock market, but you haven't actually cashed in the stock, they're going to tax you on that. And it would apply to those who are residents as of January 1st, 2026. So, like it's a retroactive tax. Like, if you live there on the first of this year, you're screwed. This is actually really scary and I would argue illegal. I think it's going to face uh some serious legal challenges. But here's Cara Swisser, leftist who is angry at the billionaires who are already leaving California over this. And I think what it is, it specifically targets about a hundred people, I think it is, who are threatening to leave California, except

for Jensen Wong, who's apparently staying. Um, I I have of two minds of this. One is, uh, you made your, and I said it to one this weekend. I said, you made all your money in California, you grateful piece of Uh, you could figure out a way to get pay more taxes and you and you we deserve the taxes from you given you made your wealth here. The second thing is

yes there are different ways to do this but this the length of time it would take and the kind of vehements you would fight whatever happens means nothing would happen. So why don't we just do shock and awe at this point because you don't seem to be you know availing yourself to thinking that you owe your state something more. So if a billionaire who's paid money on all of his wealth as he's built it will doesn't want to give 5% of his entire net worth he's an ungrateful piece of says Cara Swisser.

Well she literally said it in there. She said you were working in California and made this money. She said you made the money which should be the the indicative thing right there that if you made the money why do you have to get what what entitlement does the state have to any of that money that you made? Right? I mean already and you look at

you already paid taxes. You already paid taxes. And then look at what California does with the taxes. Look at the homelessness crisis. How many billions did they put towards the homelessness crisis in California? And it's only got worse. It's the worst state in the union for homelessness and they've put the most amount of money towards it. Where are these taxes even going to go? It's completely worthless. So, yeah. I mean, it's totally

right. You're a California tax player, Brett payer. Do do you do you feel like they're using your money? Well,

I just wish they would tax us more, Megan. I'm out here just thinking, man, they really need some more of my money. No, but you know, honestly, there are billionaires who are already leaving the state and moving their assets because of the risk of this because this is how you kill a state. And Gavin Newsome knows that. And as slimy as that little guy is, he has been one of the first to come out against this California wealth tax and said that this will destroy California even more than it already is. Because you take the billionaires out, then you take out the opportunity for job growth and creation and it decent living in California if you have money and ideas. So, the whole thing is a disaster. I hope it doesn't even get enough signatures to go on ballot.

It's amazing. Like, you ungrateful piece of she says to billionaires. As if they've just pocketed the money, unlike the rest of us, they didn't have to pay any taxes on it. They've created no jobs and there's been absolutely no give back by these people to the community. All these are leftist lies and what a bizarre way to treat the most successful among us, especially in California. Okay, a pleasure, you guys. Thank you so much for being here. We'll talk again soon. We're back tomorrow with our Megan Kelly channel friends from Real Clear Politics and our Star Legal panel. We'll see you then.
