It's just people out for themselves.
There's really not that many senses of community in cities.
So, I'm like, yeah, what do you guys think?
You ruined their lives?
Of course, they're gonna vote differently.
They're not gonna.
I mean, there's gonna be like a couple idiots that vote for Kamala, sure.
You get to a certain point, and if you're struggling financially, I think that was the point for a lot of families this election.
Yes, you keep people sick, you keep them in fear, most of all, you keep them broke.
People just lose their minds.
Maybe no one wants to be broke.
All right, Emily saves America number 20 today.
Let's go.
Oh,
sorry, 19.
My bad.
I love it.
How's it going?
It's been a bit.
It's good.
I'm tired.
Yeah, you look tired.
It's a lot.
You had a long night.
How late were you up?
Yeah.
Well, okay.
The sad thing is we were up till four in the morning.
Okay, not drinking or partying.
Our best friend Xavier was in the room and you know him.
He's literally just so funny to listen to.
He just was like going off and we were just sitting there dying laughing.
And obviously this is very special because we never get to be together.
Yeah.
So.
So you went to James O'Keefe for a bit and then?
Yeah, we were at Daily Wire for a bit.
We went to James O'Keefe for a bit and then we just, we weren't even there that long.
We left and then we were, we went to the lobby and had tea and then we went upstairs and we had some last time.
Wow.
Tea at midnight.
Yeah.
Interesting.
Yeah.
Tea at like one.
Your matcha key.
You love matcha.
It's my, it's my thing.
And there's no matcha here.
So I haven't seen any matcha here.
No.
Were you able to find any on Postmates or anything?
Yeah, we did, but it tastes like ass.
Everything tastes like ass out right when you leave LA.
I almost bought a matcha maker for my house.
They're expensive.
There's a machine that's like $400.
That's the one I was going to do.
But someone told me like it's kind of BS.
Does it work?
I haven't bought it, but the food.
I even used it.
I was like, Jesus.
I don't even drink matcha first of all.
Plus, it's more than a coffee machine.
So I was like...
You're like, this is peak consumerism.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You transitioning into health more?
Yeah, I'm.
I am and I'm not.
I'm like, I think it's important and it's something I naturally care about.
I think it's you kind of care more naturally as a female with how many toxins we put in our body on a daily basis.
And I don't like to feel like this.
I don't like to feel like crap 24-7,
especially when I leave home.
I'm super sensitive.
But I really think what makes me special, people disagree, is being in Los Angeles.
I am like the Republican in Los Angeles.
I have been.
That's how people recognize me.
And I just think the smartest thing I could do is.
focus on Los Angeles and California and stick to California politics as much as possible.
So that's what I'm going to stick to.
I feel that you finally had a hater approach you in person.
Oh, yeah.
He was lovely.
I went viral.
Peter Morgan.
Oh, you got his name.
Yes, Peter Morgan.
That's your name.
He was one of the producers of American Sniper.
No.
Yes.
I like that movie.
And the fake news media labeled him as a dog walker.
And me, a like conservative.
And I was like, he's not a dog walker.
He's a famous person.
Like, once again, you guys are taking the side of a complete psychopath.
And then everyone was shaming me.
Like, I started it.
I saw more love towards you on your comments, but maybe the traditional media was.
No, there were some people and I was like, wait, so that gives him the right to speak to me that way.
Yeah.
But yeah, I'm pretty sure I ruined his life.
Did he, did he hit you up after?
No, no, no.
So my followers are like nuts and they went after him because it was the cover of like all the media outlets.
And then I saw like people posted his name, his address, how to get through Hall Yellow.
Yeah, his like husband.
They post everything and everyone was like, I was like,
you made these decisions to say this.
You're going to deal with the consequences.
If you get doxxed, that's not my problem.
Yeah.
You should have said that to me.
You literally fucked with the worst Republican you could have possibly encountered.
And now you have consequences.
But he's a liberal in Hollywood.
So they probably gave him like a raise.
They probably like patted him on the back and were like, here's some adrenochrome.
Congrats on telling the girl to get raped.
Nick Fuentes got doxed.
Yeah, that's what, to be fair though, if you're going to dox people and show up to their house, I would like, if you showed up to my home, like.
I would literally mace you too.
So I side with Nick on that one.
Like, it's ridiculous.
And also, if you are that triggered by something a stranger says on the internet you're retarded yeah like why do you care like why are you triggered i have maga shoes on and then of course now i've had strangers all over beverly hills coming up to me when they see me walking and they're like oh that guy's a psycho he's my neighbor i see the one guy was like dude he's in my aa and we all think he's not no way
yeah you got the t on this guy oh no i have everything on this man I was like, come for me again, Peter Morgan.
That's crazy.
You may breathe the consequence.
Yeah, I was shocked that happened because usually they talk online and they don't really do anything in person, you know.
But he was in a mood that day.
It looked like.
Well, also, I think if you're willing to say that to a complete stranger, and also you're a man, he's a tall man.
He's in his like 60s.
I'm just like, Jesus, how are you like behind closed doors?
Yeah.
But you should understand the most shocking part about that is putting a camera to someone's face and they double down and you're like, damn.
Normally, when you felt someone, they stop.
100%.
You know what I mean?
He kept going.
Yeah.
He just went off.
I was like, okay.
The counties in Cali seem to be going red, though.
That's a good sign.
Yeah.

List of the top 10 places in the country that went the most, flipped the most red.
New York was, I think, number one.
California was number seven.
And I know that this is, they said yesterday, and I need to, you know,
help me out with this one.
They said something that like California was like the most people voting for a Republican.
Like it was Trump than in like a very, very, very long time or essentially a record.
And I was like, yeah, because they destroyed our state the hardest, but that's also why we kicked out our district attorney.
We have a new guy in.
I think starting today or yesterday, Prop 36, whatever it is, we're making crime illegal again.
So I think things are going to change.
And I think we're going to consistently go red.
And I think you've seen they're trying to prop Kamala Harris up.
Yep.
As a new, what, our new governor?
Imagine that.
And I'm like, you know what?
I hope they do because that will be probably the first time a Republican becomes governor of California.
There's no way.
Crazy.
So you can't shoplift starting next week, finally?
I think starting the night, like today.
Somebody, I think Kevin Kiley was posting about it.
I'm just like, I'm so all over it.
So crazy.
So before you could steal $800 of stuff, nothing.
You could do anything.
The amount amount of crime.
Oh, but you know what they're worried about in LA?
Me texting and driving.
Oh, that's what they're worried about.
I got into it with a cop the other day.
I was like, I hope you're recording this.
Pulled you over?
Yeah, he pulls me over and I go, you can give me a warning.
I'm a Republican.
I've spent four years defending you guys.
I was like, I'm literally the only one who didn't vote to defund you.
And I was like, I literally picked up my phone because I have a Tesla.
I have a smart car.
I don't need to be on my phone.
And I picked it up and I swiped to answer a work call.
And he immediately, and I was like, out of everything going on in this city, I was like are you for real right now and then he was like you know this is uh how everybody dies I was like I'm more scared of getting literally shot and robbed by a crackhead I think me and my Tesla which drives itself is like the least of your worries then he was like debating like rape statistics with me and I was like what I was like you know what maybe I will defund you you are you're fucking mine geez I was like this is the weirdest interaction he was a weirdo I was like whatever did you get a ticket yeah For texting and driving?
I wasn't even fucking texting him.
Wow.
But I was just like, sir, you obviously don't know me.
This is kind of my thing.
that's a hefty ticket i saw my mom get that one that's like a thousand bucks i think yeah and it's like a point on your record so your insurance goes up you have to driving school wow but i was just like you clearly don't know me this is like kind of my thing to make content in my car so you're like are you gonna fight that one yeah i'm gonna fight it do i not but what do i not fight good point i was like sir all i do is fight okay so let's go did you get his name and badge number yes of course i was like see you in court oh god You might have to film that.
I was like, we'll live stream this whole thing.
Let's go.
I was like, can you film in a court?
I don't know.
No, they probably take your phone.
Do they?
If you're like in the audience, do they?
I don't know.
I'll just have someone like doing BTS, do it a little behind the scenes.
Yeah.
I think Cali, I mean, New York almost went red.
New Jersey,
Callie could get there.
This is the thing.
People are sick of it.
And also people forget that people privately vote.
So when you're seeing, when you can't afford where you live, everything's destroyed around you, everything sucks.
And then Newsome like immediately like hiked gas up immediately.
Like it's just one of those things, of course, even secretly, you're going to vote for your best interests.
Cause at the end of the day, it's just people out for themselves.
There's really not that many senses of community in cities.
So, I'm like, yeah, what do you guys think?
You ruined their lives.
Of course, they're going to vote differently.
They're not going to, I mean, there's going to be like a couple of idiots that vote for Kamala, sure.
You get to a certain point.
And if you're struggling financially, I think that was the point for a lot of families this election.
Yes.
You keep people sick.
You keep them in fear.
Most of all, you keep them broke.
People just lose their minds.
No one wants to be broke.
You know what I mean?
Especially in nice cities where everything, you know, a match is $1,250.
Starbucks is like eight bucks now.
Coffee.
Yeah, you might as well go to a fancy coffee shop.
It's the same price as that garbage.
Crazy.
You think New Sub's going to run in 28?
I think people hate him so much.
I can't even imagine.
I know that there's a group of people working on a recall for him right now.
I said, obviously, I would happily join that recall.
I think he is, I just think he's like genuinely just an evil, evil human being.
I mean, some people, you can look at them and kind of see something weird.
He's greasy.
He's sneaky.
And isn't he, he's like related to like Nancy Felosi or something something like that yeah i mean you know what it is he's a good politician he's a psychopath and also he's a good liar yeah but i'm like he just bought like an 11 million dollar home in some fancy neighborhood yeah i was like that's a lot for a single servant yeah how much is his his salary it's like isn't it like supposed to be like 200 grand a year supposed to be yeah it's like 11 million dollar home wow well there's nothing shady going on there yeah what is that 50 times his yearly salary yeah
and so how are you doing that How are you getting that money?
Why are we not making this transparent?
Oh, but if I don't pay $5 to the IRS, I'm like going to fucking prison.
prison.
You're getting audited.
It's unbelievable.
You got Nancy Pelosi being one of the greatest stock traders of all time right now.
Isn't she worth like a quarter billion dollars?
How the fuck is she not in jail?
It's not technically illegal, I guess, you know, the way they do it.
Like, there's no way you're making that much money and it's not illegal.
Dude, they took Martha Stewart down.
And look how, look how much they made an example out of her.
And was she not doing the exact same thing?
I don't even think she did it in a, like, in an evil way.
I think she genuinely just got a tip, which everyone does who's doing that, and like was told to do something and she did it.
But then you have Nancy, and no one seems to look at her.
Well, the legal system's been weaponized.
Look at Roger Stone, look at Trump.
Exactly.
Did you ever see The Dark Crystal?
No.
It's like a really, hell yeah.
It's like a real, it's like, it's like a nerdy old sci-fi movie.
Do you remember the Skexies?
Nancy Pelosi looks like a Skexy from The Dark Crystal.
And if you look that up, you guys are welcome.
Enjoy the reference.
I'll throw up a photo of a Skexy and compare it to her side by side.
That's like a really specific raffer, but some people will enjoy enjoy it.
So you're a big movie buff.
Yes.
I can't watch any new movies.
Oh, the new Gladiator was fantastic.
It was good?
It was fantastic.
Okay.
Maybe I'll change my opinion, but I feel like there's a lot of programming in the new movies.
Yes, but that one was like, that one was like not, they're not doing the woke stuff with that one.
That is like a badass movie.
It was very, very good.
I'm trying to think other than that.
I've seen like a couple good movies.
I don't know.
I like the older ones.
I like Harry Potter.
I like Before I Went Woke.
Oh, did you see the new Harry Potter?
Snape's going to be black.
What?
Yeah.
Dude, Snape's the greatest character of all time, and they're going to make him black.
Yeah.
When he died,
it's not even like Denzel Washington or something.
It's like some random guy.
That was the best character arc I've ever seen.
Yeah.
I mean, Romani's probably going to be like a trans.
Oh, my God.
I mean, I'll be shocked.
I'll be shocked if they keep any, like, any nor if there's a stray person on the cast, I'll like lose my mind.
DEI, right?
Yeah.
It's nuts.
I'm like, how are you going to like ruin the most like iconic series of all time?
Yeah.
You don't need to.
JK rowling would not be in favor of this so they must she must have given up creative control if they're doing that that's what i assume there's no way she would there's no way that's happened i mean she's been outspoken on her stances so yeah she's just outspoken in a normal way yeah but yeah no actually she got canceled for that for having the same opinions we've had for billions of years yeah
for being normal yeah yeah she caught peak cancel culture she did and how much money does she have she didn't give a fuck she's a billionaire now yeah yeah what does she care i'd be like cool go cry you're all bore enjoy go go buy my books Go to my amusement parks.
