>> hello, everyone, i'm tomi lahren along with katie pavlich and raymond arroyo and griff jenkins and welcome to "the big weekend show." from segregated christmas parties to forcing santa into a nativity scene, the holidays are getting wild with wokeness. first up, boston's mayor who defended her christmas party that banned white people. >> are you concerned this lends itself to further key visive sps? >> we wan to be a city where everyone's identity is embraced. >> oh, but now mayor wu is boasting about it, posting a picture on instagram and and writing, quote: not too long ago in boston we doesn't need such a big table to fit electeds of color. i've proudly watched this group grow and create space for men toship and fellowship while holding the weight of being the first or only. and then there is a nativity

scene forced to go woke in iowa just like this episode of family guy. >> time to put up the 2020 christmas decorations. first, ethnically accurate jesus goes right here next to father mary and mother josephine. followed closely by the three genderless wise e people, and, of course, the little drummer them because, god forbid, we call a boy a boy. [laughter] >> oh, too good. and an atheist group said this nativity scene was, quote, divisive because it was on display at a fire department where it's been for years. the fire department took it down over worries of a lawsuit. now the nativity scene is back up, but with secular things included like santa and a reindeer. oh, or thank goodness. also in iowa, the state capitol allowing a satanic temple display essentially recognizing satanism as a religion. a christian veteran was so is upset by it that he tore it down. >> i was surprised that the

legislature allowed it up and that they didn't do anything to take it down, just to take it down. it offended maine it touched a nerve. it was righteous indignation. i call it, you know, christian civil disobedience, and, yes, i took the statue that was there, and it -- or the die concern idol, whatever you want to call it, and it's no longer there. >> christian civil disobedience. ray monday, i know that you are a lover of christmas and the holiday season. >> i am. >> now, often times conservatives get mocked because we talk about this war on christmas, but every year the war on christmas continues. what do you think though? if because i struggle with this one. >> yeah. >> should the satanists or the it a wrist groups, should they be able to have a cities play at a tate capitol? is that their right? constitutionally, maybe it is. >> it is something you have to wrestle with because free speech is free speech.

however, religious expression is something we hold dear. christmas is a beloved, holy and sacred season for the majority of americans. you have to take that into with consideration and, again, time and place is important. when you're talking about a display like a satanic one in the midst of christmas. they chose the two weeks leading up to christmas as the time when they petition the for their little satanic display in the iowa statehouse. this is, obviously, to ridicule the nativity across the way from it. i think we need to insist on sensetivity. we need -- sensitivity. we need to insist on appropriateness. if they want a atannic display, do it some other time. we don't allow klan meetings during mlk days, neo-nazi groups to petition during jewish holy days, or we shouldn't or but we are seeing that as a well. all of this needs to be pushed back. it's up american. we're mocking sacred holy days, and we need to have say sacred

saw space in america. it wasn't ever to be a place free of religion unlike the group that's fighting for the iowa nativity thing or freedom from reapplication. -- religion. no, it's freedom of religion, and we need to insist on that again and embrace it. i don't know if we should go around destroying monuments because next thing they'll be beating up the baby we jesus and hitting mary over the head. >> yeah. >> i think that goes a bit too far, but there should be legal and civil remedies for this kind of wage rage, and it is an outrage to have that satanic altar. it's not just a skew, it's the -- statue, it's an altar. >> this continues. there's a lot of this going on. christmas is, unfortunately, a very divisive time of year for some, but then you have the lead to the mayor on the timing of the -- toledo mayor also with a satanic display at the capitol. i don't think it's a mere coincidence, i think it's just the times that we're living in. the timing is ironic e. this is unfortunate that we're even having this conversation.

katie, going babb if to the nativity scene, we know these atheist groups every year have an issue with these display, but then what they do is just add a santa and a reindeer next to it, and all of a sudden that mix it better. what say you? does the santa and the reindeer make everything constitutionally sound? [laughter] >> i think it's unfortunate that every year around this time these groups come out to try and ruin christmas for people who celebrate in a religious way, people who celebrate maybe in a more secular way. why can't you just let people have their fun and not be trying to put a satan next to their display? it just comes down to common decency and having, you know some nice rapport with your fellow human being. but i was actually more focused on the boston mayor -- [laughter] and this government-mandated and funded party she'sing is of -- she's having of session redivision. this is a country that has fought for decades to desegregate society. it used to be illegal to have

christmas parties with people of the opposite, with different race, and now she is purposely segregating people and calling it somehow a victory. >> right. >> it just seems like we're going backwards, and it's so disruptive, it's divisive in the workplace, and it's completely against e pluribus unum which is out of many, one. so to be pitting people against each other based on skin color seems unconstitution constitutional as well. >> griff, it also seems somewhat illegal? [laughter] i can't imagine. and i'm sure if this were. the other way around, perhaps it would be more of the spotlight on the legality of the e-mail. but what's interesting here is the seven white people, they weren't even supposed to know about this special electeds of color only party, but unfortunately, the mayor's aide sent it out to everybody with an inclusive attitude and then had to send another e-mail saying sorry for the confusion. yes, we still want to have our

segregated christmas party, we don't want the white people there, and if it happened to offend you, i guess, oh, well. what do you make of this? if this was a white christmas only, can you imagine the outcry in boston, in any liberal city, in any city? there should be ap outcry cry. >> look, this is the story of the week that you file under absurdity. by the way, it's always the cover-up, right? it's the fact that the staffer quickly sent an e-mail and said, wait, wait, you're white, don't come. not you. [laughter] and howard carr, howie carr, the conservative columnist, i think put it best writing about a it this week saying mayor wu is dreaming of a non-white christmas. >> yeah. >> in fairness to mayor wu, you had some of the members, the minority members weighing in to the press say aing, well, this is outrageous, this is a white grievance card, you know, non-issue because we've been doing it for more than a decade. full stop. you have been doing it for a decade, and that makes it okay that you're going to in 2023

have a holiday party with elected leaders on government property, it's on beacon hill, a very elegant place, it's like basically if you were having the white house christmas party. >> right. >> and yet you can't have white people allowed there based on denied finish as you point out on the color of their skin. it's the wrong message to send in this time of day. and i think really, honestly, she's a harvard-educated finish. >> oh, that explains a lot. >> and so all these great things to make the world better until it involves white people. come on. >> it's state-sanctioned discrimination it is. >> they say there were no city funds spent, but as you said, look at the location. was the assistant to who sent out the invites paid by the city? yes yes. this is clearly city-affiliated and sanctioned -- >> someone should sue. it's discrimination. >> what does this do to the morale of the council when you realize that a you've been excluded based on your skin color alone -- >> whites need not apply.

>> i can't imagine what that does for the unity and the cohesion of a council that's supposed to work together to do important things. >> i mean, given how much white guilt that liberals have, maybe they would be fine with it. >> had they brought a that at this time scene to the party -- nativity scene, it would have been outlawed immediately. that's the solution. >> all right. well, coming up, the homeless problem in the u.s. is so bad, it just hit a new record, and the border crisis has something -- probably a lot -- to do with it. we'll explain next. ♪ please tell me who i am, who i am, who i am ♪ ♪ my name is dana bellefeuille, and my husband and i own the village bakery located in hayden, idaho. our mission is to employ people with different abilities. tiktok is allowing us to show what acceptance looks like on a day-to-day basis,

the federal government started this particular survey in 2007. primarily, it's driven by people who became homeless for the first time. just over 653,000 people were experiencing homelessness on a single night in 2023, that is up 12% from 2022. black americans continue to disproportionately be impacted representing half of homeless families with children in america. this is the first time in a decade that family homelessness has increased in the u.s. there are 186,000 people and families with children exexperiencing homelessness. -- experiencing homelessness, that is an increase of 16 president. the top five major cities with homeless populations are new york city, los angeles, seattle, san diego and denver. new york city saw the largest increase year-over-year. more than half of the country's homelessness is in four states, california with 28% of the homeless population, more than

181,000 people, followed by new york, florida and washington. california also has the largest population of unsheltered ohmless people. there are -- homeless people. there are more than 120,000 people in california living on the streets and on sidewalk withs, nearly eight times high or than the next highest state with unsheltered homeless people, florida. experts say this is the all primarily due to extraordinary rent increases this past year. >> i think it's a disturbing trend that's been going on for a long time. and, you know, as i said, the main, the main driver of this relevant to government policy is that rents keep going up faster than wages in a modest job. that's what's driving it. >> reporter: the department of housing also blames the winding down of covid-19 protections like eviction moratoriums, emergency rental assistance and the end of stimulus payments.

back to you. >> thank you, bryan. tomi, i want to build on what bryon -- bryan was reporting there. hispanics and latinos, 13%, basically they attribute 55% of the increase in homelessness. the question is why. the biden administration just wants to throw more money at this problem. but "the wall street journal" is reporting, quote, a surge of migrants into shelters in places such as new york, massachusetts, chicago contributed to the homeless record. can you cure homelessness without addressing the border crisis? i mean, how do you keep bailing out the ship when you don't fix the hole senate hull? >> right. well, it's no surprise when you bring in millions of people and you bring in thousands the at once on a daily basis, these people have to go somewhere, and they're going to communities that are already underserved, and they have to be sheltered. they have to be fed, they have to be clothed, and so that's why

you're seeing the numbers skyrocket of homelessness or when they get out of these hotels or try to find something else to do, they don't know what to do, they've been sold a bill of goods by the criminal organizations, the cartels and the biden administration, quite frankly, so what do you do with these people? more importantly, what do you do with the american veterans and the other americans who are experiencing homelessness, and they now having to fight for resources with people who have no legal right to be here, and now they're on the treat and cold. i would tell people if you continually vote democrat and is you're already in underresourced communities, just know that illegal imgreat lakes can going -- immigration is going to impact you first, so pay attention to you you vote. >> we're seeing african-americans in chicago raising the i alarm and saying, wait a minnesota, we were -- wait a minute, we were promised things. they're helping other people and taking those resources. griff, these democratic mayors suffering the highest homelessness in the country, but this is their approach to immigration. watch.

[laughter] griff, you were just down at the border e. with the stress these cities are under, they're all broke, begging for money, do you see any change in the tactic at the border from the biden administration? if. >> well, i see more coming. just in the last 24 hours today, raymond, there were over # 11,000 migrant encounters. in eagle pass, where i just spent the last eight days, there were more than 2500. in a week's span last week,

there was almost 18,000 in just eagle pass. this week it's going to be the a total the probably by the time we get tomorrow's numbers about 17 or 18,000. eagle pass, texas, the population is only 30,000. in two weeks' span, they've had that cross from dozens of countries. when i was there, there was a russian, iranian, moroccans, tunisians, they got three chinese today and the list goes on. they're coming from all over the world because president biden said, come, we'll take care of you. and those mayors -- >> but the tactics aren't changing. they're not trying to stop the deluge are. >> right. >> that's the key point. >> the hole is still in the hull. >> exactly. they won't cure it. i have to play this for you, gavin newsom, okay? if now, he wiped away homeless encampments when xi showed up because he wanted to look hiney and new. but somehow many -- shiny and new. newsom claims it's the are republicans' fault. >> well, mean, first you own the

issues and then you start to address the issues. look, they've been on a doom loop about san francisco ever since nancy pelosi became speaker. remember, california's nancy pelosi's the speaker, of san francisco, kamala harris was the former senator from california. california's outperformed the american economy, it's the tent poll of the american recovery. it's the fifth largest economy in the world, and its values are in stark contrast, the difference of daylight and darkness, between the republican party. >> katie, your response. >> putting on the job, didn't know about that statement, so thank you for teaching me that. gavin newsom needed governor ron desantis the there to rebut him on all these lies he's saying ab a california and the reality of the situation there. they're willing to clear out homelessness when it suits their favor, when they want to basically sanitize the reality of what's actually happening. they did it for joe biden at a group to onstation, they just did it in san francisco. but the reality is the reason

why homelessness has gone up is because the more money these governments throw at it, the worse with it gets because it's a homelessness industrial complex for all these ngos that benefit from the homelessness program -- problem, and that's why it doesn't go away. it comes down to basic supply and demand problem. when you have too many people who need more resources, thicks become more -- things become more expensive. the maw your of chicago -- the mayor with of chicago to brag that were taken care of 10,000 people? that's one day's worth of illegal 'em grants coming into this country. >> and the drug epidemic really driving the california problem. that's what fuels the homelessness and all the rest of these ills. but they wanted to legalize drugs, now they have. president trump reveals a new rally cry as he bashes biden's policies. that's next. you won't believe this. >> but you're going to be in the poorhouse to fund his big government green new deal. let's call it from now on the green new scam.

receipt. here's the federal reserve chairman recently. >> and we've, you know, we've seen real progress in core inflation. it has been sticky and, that famously, the service sector is thought to be stickier, but we've actually seen reasonable progress in non-housing services which was the area where you would expect to see less progress. we are seeing some progress there though. >> reporter: some good news for the president, gas prices have gone down, but they're still 25% higher than when president biden was sworn into office. griff? if i'm not sure all of america is feeling that a cooling of inflation as the fed chair says. lucas tom runsson lye for us on the north lawn, thank you. speaking of bad blood, vice president kamala harris might be making moves of her own to force president biden off the 2024 ticket. harris just hired hillary clinton's former press secretary bruin fallon to be her -- brian fallon to be her communications director. an interesting pick considering fallon has a long history of

publicly bashing joe biden. fallon tweeting this: biden, trying to complete an answer is a tender moment ouch. another reads, a lot of people seem to be giving biden a pass for that answer on shealy. fallon -- slavery. he even told "the washington post," quote, he's test driving ford f-150s, he's not going to selma if to talk about voting rights. let's start with you, tomi. it seems from the early days of when he, president biden, appointed her the border czar, then she was going to do something on voting rights, and she's put in charge of the space force, in broadband and abortion which is actually a winning issue in the polls for democrats, but yet you really don't see her doing much about it. >> right. >> do they set her up for failure and now she's going to fight back with this new guy? >> well, best of luck. i mean, biden picked kamala harris as his re-election insurance policy, and if she

thinks now she's going to go get hillary's guy -- by the way, did she see how that turned out in 2016? is i'm not so sure. there's only one female in democrat politics that's less likable than kamala harris, and that is hillary clinton. i'm not sure that this is the strategy, but i definitely think there's bad blood between joe and kamala. but joe being in his old age, you might say he's got cognitive decline, but he made the best decision for himself by putting kamala in her decision because everybody looks and listens to her and thinks or you know what? joe might not be so bad. there you have it. >> you talk about the numbers, and she is by many measures the least popular vice president in history. in fact, i want to show you recent polling, the biden verse e us trump head the head, right? here's the 2024 matchup, 50% trump, 46% biden. put her e in the truck driver's seat, harris versus -- driver's seat, hypothetical matchup, trump again at 50%, kamala is 45%.

you look at some of the other names there, you know, there's been suggestions, katie, from democrats and the public in recent months saying, well, maybe it's time for a different vice president. doesn't look like e they're going to do that, and now we're hearing talk that she's going to have an increased role on the campaign finish. [laughter] what are they doing? >> well, look, they're kind of stuck in this position. kamala harris was picked for political reasons, like most vps are. you have to get a certain sector of voters. there were demands from the south carolina congressman jim clyburn who said i'm going to help you win south carolina, joe biden, but we want the first black female vice president, and kamala harris happened to be the first person joe biden picked. but the bad blood thing has been going op for a long time. kamala harris called president joe biden a racist, said he was against desegregation. those things were true, but she did say it on the national stage in front of everybody, and they were able to somehow if reconcile. but in terms of brian fallon,

he's very experienced. he had to defend hillary clinton. he, you know, knows what he's doing, but he is very good at pushing a narrative that is not necessarily popular. >> before we run out of time, i want to pray for you with, raymond, very recently we had our own peter doocys pressing the white house press secretary the on whether or not harris is trying to put daylight between her and the president on the situation in israel. watch. >> reporter: why did somebody around here leak that the vice president is upset with the president about gaza? >> that's a great question, because i just -- [laughter] i mean, if i, if i could answer a question why somebody would leak, i mean, that would make me pretty smart and a lot smarter than i am. and only -- >> [laughter] >> reporter: -- that people from the vice president's team are going to the press with this. >> the president is comfortable and confident in vice president harris that he has a real

teammate. and a significant leader who understands the foreign policy directions that he's trying to take this country. >> a real teammate. >> significant leader. the woman is at 52% approval, okay in that's where -- disapproval. to try to suggest, all he's doing is trying to have it both ways. biden lights a a ma menorah, she goes out with a a, to c and the squad supporting pal stipe. he'd like to turn this season into the vice president who stole the nomination. i don't think it's going to happen. and brian fallon, i don't see what's so controversial about those comments. someone would have to be in cognitive the decline not to see the cognitive decline the president is now in. as a bad as he is, what's kamala's excuse? i don't think she's going to be able to you can seed him or take his place. they're stucked biden. >> you clearly are going to need a venn diagram to explain it to you. >> that's right. it'll all make sense. >> that long list of democrats
