In today's video, Mike Lawler just went on to Fox News to try to defend the Dignity Act and got humiliated. Also, Karen Bass, her homelessness program, is facing a lot of backlash. And the killer who stabbed the lady in the neck on that light rail in North Carolina, he is no longer fit to stay in trial. Let's start with Mike Lawler and how bad it went for him. Take a listen. Secondarily is to deal with the undocumented that are in this country. Get them out of the shadows.

You are talking about tens of millions of people who have been living in the shadows undocumented and no matter What do you mean how they're not? I'm sorry to interrupt you, but they're not legally here. You've got to stop using the cliches They're not legally here. Right this this in the shadow line I've been dealing with this for 25 years I don't know what shadows you're looking at, but they're not in the shadows. They're working in restaurants. Some are others are Of course, many. Many of them are. Fraud in California. But this idea that they're already given amnesty,

they're not already given amnesty. Why do you come on television and say that? The president has been trying to remove people from this country. The only reason they're not being removed is because we don't have strong Democrats and Republicans to support it. No, Laura, criminal aliens 100% should be removed from this country, period. And the bill provides for that. I don't want anyone getting a waiver. I don't want anyone getting a free pass here.

If you have committed a crime, if you have committed a crime, yes, I have, Laura. If you have committed a crime, you should be removed from the country, period. Okay, so we're picking up where we left off earlier. Representative Salazar was also trying to defend this piece of legislation. Now we're on a Mike Lawler who's there on Fox News, just getting humiliated. I mean, Lori Ingram isn't happening, and neither will people who support the Trump. And I would add, majority of Americans do not. support this. They want people who are in this country and lawfully to be deported. But he draws the line.

You got to be a murderer. You got to be someone who's robbing someone to be deported. According to him, you could have crossed that border illegally, bit in the country for 10 years, and you will have a lawful reason to be here moving forward. And we know what will happen down the line. That lawful reason will turn to them, or excuse me, transform their status into citizenship. I don't think we want that. Let's continue. Number two, what we are trying to do, is say if you have been in the country for more than five years. In other words, if you came here during Joe Biden's administration, you don't qualify. How do you determine that? You don't qualify under this legislation. All of this sounds great. It's very clear. Answer a simple question.

It's very clear. I'm a simple person. You have to be in the country before 2020. Yeah, you have to be in the country before 2020. So anybody who came. Please. All right. Please tell my audience, because they're very smart. Yep. How does an immigration officer determine millions and millions of, determine continuous presence and tell me the considerations they take into account to determine that? Well, look, if they cannot prove that, if they cannot prove continuous presence, they wouldn't qualify for this. You have to be able to meet the qualifications of the program. I just ask you a question. How do you determine it? You have to be able to meet the qualifications of the program.

The program. That's why I said he was not prepared for this interview. This man thinks we're stupid, okay? She's, and here's the analogy for you. She's literally asking him, how do we get our vehicle to last 100,000 miles? You know what he tells her? Yeah, you'll have to get on a maintenance program. Duh, I think we know we need to maintain the vehicle.

I'm asking you a direct question, okay? How many oil changes? When do we check the radiator? When do we check the transmission? Like, can you provide specifics? And he can't do it because it's hard to defend this to begin with. Remember, at the end of the day, if they go along with this and they push this, understand what the end result will be. 10, 20 million potentially illegal aliens that crossed that border that were unvetted could get citizenship in the end, like 10 years down the road.

I don't think people are very comfortable with that. But she continues to press them. There are broad categories in which officers reviewing applications can waive people in. under a fact-based analysis that is subjective and a barn door wide enough to people to roll through for past crimes. They do full background checks. For past crimes and continuous presence in the United States. So family unity, public interest, other humanitarian concerns. So the admissibility includes broad waivers.

That's a major problem with this. I don't know why they keep doing it that way. You probably aren't in favor of that, but it's, yeah, full background checks. No, look, you have to do a full background check, inclusive of criminal history. Gang affiliation is not waived. What it is saying is the presence of somebody in a database does not automatically assume that they are part of a gang. But the bottom line is all of that would have to be reviewed. And it should be.

How about multiple DUIs? That should be included. That should, I have been arguing for years that DW. I should be included. I had a case last two years ago in my district where an illegal immigrant got arrested for DWI ended up killing a young boy. They can stay under this legislation. Unfortunately. Under those provisions.

Not going to have that. The fact that you're not even covering individuals who have DUIs, meaning illegal aliens who are getting DUIs, I wonder, does it cover illegal aliens who got commercial driver's license who have also committed criminal acts by killing people on the highway? is there a way to prevent that with this bill? I probably, in my heart of hearts, believe, no, it does not. We have to understand who the Republican Party truly is. Go back to March of 2024 of that first quarter. They were trying to push a bipartisan immigration bill that essentially still allowed people to cross into the border

and people to come into our country unvetted. This is who we're dealing with folks. And that's why I said, I don't believe most people are going to go for it. But that was a disastrous interview from Mike Lawler. And that's exactly the heat he deserved for even pushing this. And obviously, I sound very biased because I just don't believe in this whatsoever. Especially when I hear stories like this, this was Brandon Gill talking about commercial driver's license being handed to illegal aliens. And what happens?

When Westchap first took flight in 1996, the vibes were a bit different. People thought denim on denim was peak fashion. Inline skates were everywhere. And two out of three women rocked, the Rachel. While those things stayed in the 90s, one thing that hasn't is that fuzzy feeling you get when WestJet welcomes you on board. Here's to Westjetting since 96. Travel back in time with us and actually travel with us at westjet.com slash 30 years. How many Americans honestly want illegal aliens driving multi-ton 18 wheelers on the same streets that you're taking your daughter or your son to school in the morning every day?

Or taking your kids to soccer practice? I mean, that's absolutely insane. Nobody voted for that. Nobody wanted it. And it's our job to clean it up. You know, the purpose of the federal government is to keep our communities safe. And you don't do that by importing hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens driving 18 wheelers that are basically weapons on our streets. It's absolutely assonine. So I'm glad this mess is being cleaned up. We've got a lot of work to do to clean up the mess that the Democrats made over the past four years. Thank you. All right, let's get to this message I have for the men who watch my show. Unfortunately, after you turn 30, we lose 1% of our testosterone each year. Even though the body continues to produce it, we can't use it. It's all due to SHBG, which is the hormone and the culprit behind all of this. This is why I'm recommending you guys check out Mars Men.

What is that exactly? Well, Mars Men can help you free up usable testosterone naturally. No needles, no synthetics, no weird stuff. It's built with eight clinically dosed natural ingredients. They offer a 90-day money-back guarantee, third-party test it made in the USA, so no risk here. Right now for a limited time, they're giving my audience 50% off for live free shipping if you use promo code DeVorey, and they're going to throw in three free gifts. Understand something. 91% of users have report higher energy levels, and it's backed up by real reviews.

Again, go to men, go to mars.com. Use promo code DeVorey. They're going to give you 50% off, free shipping. and three free gifts, all the information is in the link in the description below and at the bottom of this screen. Just tell them that I sent you their way. So in other words, he doesn't have the stomach for it. Representative Salazar doesn't have the stomach for it. And I would argue the American people at times don't have the stomach for what we ask for. We're asking for economic freedom, but we're not willing to do what it takes to achieve that. To achieve that would take deporting

20 million people who crossed the border unvetted. They don't have a stomach. Now, let's go to our next story. Let's see if we have the stomach for this one. Homelessness. Karen Bass has introduced a new program for Los Angeles, and it's already having some setbacks. In fact, it's gotten so bad that CNN had to go out there

and do an interview with her, and that didn't go well, by the way. Now, this is all in an effort because the Olympics is fast approaching, and while she's mayor, she's got to make it look like she wants to keep her job. But I don't think she's going to be successful at this. So let's take a look at the story. Watch. Well, here in Los Angeles, Mayor Karen Bass said she would get the homeless off the streets. But after hundreds of millions have been spent, there is a big dispute over how effective her programs have really been.

Fox News Correspondent Max Gordon takes a look. On the streets of Los Angeles, a very visible crisis. Nearly 44,000 homeless individuals in the city, many of them living in. tents are in their cars. LA's Democratic Mayor Karen Bass made solving the issue a top priority when she was elected in 2022. Her signature program is called Inside Safe. A housing program aimed at cleaning up encampments and moving people into temporary

housing with the goal of getting them into permanent housing. But according to the city of the 5,808 people that entered interim housing, more than 40% of them became homeless once again. It is predictable that a lot of people will return to the streets because the main problem is that there aren't affordable permanent options for people. So they can come into the program, but that's really just temporary shelter. Many Inside Safe participants are put up in hotels and motels for months at a hefty price tag. According to reporting from the Los Angeles Times, the program cost taxpayers more than $300 million over three years.

To spend a third of a billion dollars and most of us are back when we start. Still, the mayor's office defends Inside Safe, saying her new program is driving an almost 8,000. 18% reduction in street homelessness. She's the first mayor in L.A. history to reverse these numbers. All right. Well, here's the problem for the mayor. This program contradicts human psychology. And what I mean by that, most people who are homeless have chosen to stay homeless.

Now, every now and then you'll have someone who really has a mental issue or, you know, falling down on their luck and they became homeless. But they usually rise above that. The people who don't, some of it is usually a choice, substance. abuse or mental health issues. I'm not too sure throwing money at this is going to actually solve the problem. We saw what happened through the decades on end with California when Gavin Newsom did that. But hey.

But with the claimed progress, there have been reports of old encampments popping back up again. The California Post reported on one in Venice where a mass brawl broke out. Shop owners in the area say the homelessness issue is tough on business. We've had many incidents where they come in trace and steal or like, make a mess. Well, it's kind of a fact of life right now. Meanwhile, we've got a mayoral election coming up with a primary on June 2nd as Mayor Bass runs for a second term. As his opponents, criticizing her handling of the homelessness issue and calling for change. Well, they're calling for change because they've seen how incompetent she's been. She has not been able to deliver the results that

she's promised. Homelessness is not an easy issue to fix. I'll admit to that. But, you know, spending $300 million and people still have problems with homeless encampments, yeah, that tells me it's not working. But here she is on CNN, trying to defend the program. I just don't think it went well for her. Take a listen. Another big question, you know, L.A. is about to host the World Cup, the Super Bowl, the Olympics, all in like two and a half years.

It's going to be something that the whole world is watching. And one of the concerns that we hear around the country is about homelessness. And there was a report in the LA Times just this week that talked about your signature program called Inside Safe, which is to get people inside safe. And it said $300 million program and 40% have returned to the streets. These are people that were part of the program and then they're no longer part of the program. They're back on the streets. Some people say that that's a failure. What do you say to that?

Well, I say several things. First of all, 60% of the people have remained. house. But you know me, and we've been on this journey. That's not a great percentage. Well, it is a great percentage. We've been on this journey together. And you know, the reason why I ran was because we needed change in this city. What was happening in the city was just completely unacceptable. The city had adhered to a rigid policy that said, stay on the streets, basically, until we build you something. I came in and said, it is unacceptable to have Angelinos on the street. You know that I came into a system that had been broken

for over three decades, but you know that I felt the sense of urgency to get people off the street. But it's 2026 and you're now doing this. So what have you been doing the whole time exactly? That's the first thing. Secondly, throwing money at this is not going to work. We know that. So they do the temporary thing. Let's just take them off the street and house them. But remember, the taxpayer is going to have to pay for that. And given that gas prices are high as they can be in Los Angeles in particular, I'm not too sure they're going to support that either. I'm not saying there's an easy solution here. I'm just telling you throwing money at this won't be one of those.

And that's why Los Angeles County saw the largest, you know, people migrating out of a county across the entire country. But here is fake Tapper coming to her rescue by running this story today. Watch. that the population of veterans who are homeless is just embarrassingly high in the United States. L.A. being no exception. Here, we're here in a VA center. There are some homes here for homeless veterans, and there's a new city initiative right here on the side of this bus. So, you know what, this is a perfect example. There's a lot of different categories of people who are unhoused.

And this very street were on, you know, several years ago, this street was lined. It was so sad. It was lined with American people. flags and tents. Veterans here, a couple of them even died on this street, and now they're moved inside. This is what this same street looked like just a few years ago. Dozens of tents lined up along the sidewalk, proudly displaying the flag occupied by Americans who once bravely served their country. The point of this program that we've launched is to let veterans know that we can house them now and they can keep their health care. Veterans were high.

hiding and choosing to be unhoused because they were left with the choice. Between health care and housing. Yes. How crazy is that? So if you're a disabled veteran, we penalize you. Sounds like Washington. Exactly. This is the site of a new 53-unit affordable housing project for homeless veterans in West Los Angeles, expected to open later this year. Mayor Bass's office says this is part of more than 6,000 units already underway, with tens of thousands more planned.

What is seeing a project like this mean? It's inspiring. Homelessness with veterans was rampant. Well, I would argue that homelessness with veterans will continue to be an issue throughout our country. No one wants to see it, but it's the sad reality. And I will say this, it's always good to hear veterans being housed and been given an opportunity to figure it out, and some of them being saved. They're in terrible situations at times.

I don't have any beef with that. I will say this, though. I find it interesting that they can build these housing units faster than they can rebuild Pacific Palisades. What's going on there exactly? Oh, yeah, that's right. I wonder who owns the housing or the real estate for these buildings. Something tells me it's not private individuals. So maybe that's why it's moved so quickly.

Good morning to both of you. Yeah, this is a new report from the LA Times is putting homelessness back in the spotlight here in Los Angeles. Like you mentioned, the L.A. Times report and several local news stories have shown issues regarding homeless news. is here and you're wondering where all the money is going that's being spent to address this problem. Now take a look at this video. I shot this here downtown Los Angeles recently. You can see streets are still lined with tents and a lot of people have questions. According to the LA Times, Mayor Karen Bass's Inside Safe program has spent over $300 million since 2022 to move people from encampments into temporary housing. About 5,800 people have been placed in hotels and motels

and encampments have been cleared, but nearly 40% or about 2,300 people have returned to the streets. Over the years, the number of people returning to the streets have reportedly increased, too. The report says some were removed for strict rule violations, including limits on visitors, absences, and substance use, while others left on their own. Only about 25% have made it into permanent housing. Now, you could see the difference in the reporting. The sit-in goes the homeless veteran route, because you can't disagree with that, and I'm with that. I think that's smart. And we want our veterans taking care of. But they left out the people who were not veterans, of course, because it would make it look even worse if that makes sense. But listen, I told you there's no easy solution here. I hope it is successful, by the way. I'm not rooting for her failure here. But California's had a homeless problem. And I don't think they're going to be able to figure it out. Not with the people who are in charge. I think their way of doing things in the end always leads to catastrophic results. But again, let's hope that she finds success with it.

this, right? I think that's the appropriate thing to say. Now, this actually takes this to a heartbreaking update. Now, you guys recall the Ukrainian refugee who stabbed on the neck in South Carolina on the light rail. Well, her killer has been ruled that he is not fit to stand trial. Yes, that happened today. Let's take a listen. All right, now to this, we're learning to Carlos Brown Jr., the fell in charge with the murder of Arena Zarutka on a North Carolina a light rail has been found incapable to proceed with trial. The decision comes after a mental health evaluation. So De Carlos Brown has a string of prior charges dating back more than a decade, including a felony, larceny, and robbery with a dangerous weapon. Brown's lawyers are now

asking the court to push back a scheduled April 30th hearing for another six months. It's pretty unbelievable. How many times can this man continue to commit crimes and be judged incapable of being accountable for his crimes? It's not just larceny. It's not just robbery. Now it's cold-blooded murder. Okay, so correction. I said South Carolina. It's North Carolina. That's number one. And number two, this is why we're so hell-bent on cracking down on crime. What more could you ask from a president who was willing to send federal resources to crack down on crime? You couldn't have asked for any better scenario. But sanctuary cities and these Democrats don't care. And then when they're appointing people as judges to preside over these cases who do not require a

law degree and are swept up in what we call fatal empathy, don't be shocked when we continue to get these types of stories and heartbreaking updates. Now, here's the positive side to it. Remember the artist that did a mural for her in Rhode Island and the mayor ordered it to be removed? He's not stopping. He's continuing to create new ones. Here he is talking about it.

Patrice, it's your typical busy night here on Federal Hill, but down this alley, a piece of artwork is taking shape, a tribute rekindled by new opportunity. All right, that's good enough for now. Ian Goddrow is back at work. Get these cans back in my hand. I was having such a blast up there, and it feels really good to start painting camp. It's been a hectic week since his mural honoring murdered Ukrainian refugee Irene Zerutska was halted. Providence mayor Brett Smiley was among those most critical of the project.

I think the Naya, he always opens his mouth and inserts his foot. The original mural was located on the side of the dark. A dark lady, a gay bar downtown. Smiley and other local leaders said it didn't represent the city's values, citing funding by Elon Musk and other national figures. The bar ended up deciding to remove it. There should be no way it should be taken down. Seeing the tribute was looking for a new home, Opa the Phoenician stepped in. I'm glad it's being moved to somewhere that's maybe a little more neutral, a little less offensive. The Lebanese restaurant is owned by an immigrant family and co-owner Francois Karam tells NBC 10 he empathizes with Irene's. story. He has an immigrant family story himself, so he really connected with Irene and he felt really passionate about the project. After doubling as his own PR person for the past week, Goodrow is looking forward to getting back to what he does best. The mayor had previously said, while he doesn't think the mural is helpful for the community, he won't stop another business from putting it up. And tomorrow I'm planning to speak with Francois to find out a little bit more about why he was so

impacted by Irene's story. Well, I wonder why the mayor won't require this to be removed. Because he realized the backlash she received on the last one. It's ridiculous. I thought doing Mero's is a First Amendment right. I mean, it's not calling for anyone to be killed. It's not sparking any violence. And she seems like a nice victim to rally around using their logic, by the way, because you know how they like to weaponize victims, of course. But she won't do it for them because she's not a criminal and she's not black. So I guess they had to skip out on her. And she's not an illegal alien either. So they definitely had to skip out on her. So why don't we go to the North Carolina governor?

Because somebody confronted him again about this story, and here's what he had to say. Excuse me, Mr. Cooper. Why did you release DeC Carlos Brown from prison early, allowing him to kill, please don't touch me, kill Irina Zarudka? You have no comment? Do you think Charlotte has a crime problem? Do you stand by releasing 3,500 prisoners as governor? You don't, you have no comment?

Excuse me, Governor Cooper, why was DeCarlos Brown on? your list for early release? Governor Cooper, why was DeC Carlos Brown on your list for early release? Okay, we're blocking me with signs. Governor Cooper, could you answer the question, please? Governor Cooper, why was DeC Carlos Brown on your list for early release?

Governor Cooper, could you answer the question, please? Governor Cooper, why was DeColos Brown on your list for early release?

Governor Cooper, why was DeColos Brown on your list for early release? Roy Cooper, why did you release 51 people set to serve life sentences? Governor Cooper, could you answer the question, please?

Governor Cooper, why did you release 51 people serving life sentences? Governor Cooper, why was DeColos Brown on your list for early release? Now, did you hear those questions?

They weren't gotcha questions. They were legitimate questions. How could he be on a list for early release? How? the only way to explain it, and I've been saying it from the beginning, I feel like it's my term at this point. Fatal empathy, folks, not suicidal empathy, fatal empathy. How else do you justify it? How else do you come up with the decision to put a man like that on a list for early release?

How can a judge sitting there looking at his case say, yeah, you know, we've arrested him 12 times, some of them for assault. I mean, sooner a lady's going to murder someone, but you know what? I have so much empathy for the guy. Let's put him back on the street. Fatal empathy, folks. That's what we're talking about here. And unfortunately, unless Republicans wake up like Mike Lawler, we're going to continue to see things like this.

We cannot be soft in times that we're experiencing today as a society. It's time to be firm. We have to stand up for what we believe in and double down on public safety, which is not always going to be a comfortable thing to do. And for these politicians, clearly it is in. convenient. So why don't we hear what you guys have to say in the comments section below to these stories today? What did you think of Mike Lawler's interview with Laura Ingram? I thought it was a disaster. What do you make of this killer not fit to stay on trial? And then what do you think of

Karen Bass and her homelessness program? Give me your thoughts, everything you got in the comments section below. All right. So the DOJ just issued some bad news for Zeramandani. They plan to investigate his racial equity plan for affordability in regards to New York City. Because of your skin color, that's why you can't afford to live in New York City. And particularly it's black and brown people are the victims and the white people are the problem. So they're investigating.
