IHIP News: MAJOR Allegations AGAINST GOP Senators TEARS MAGA APART! Trump LOSES ALL CONTROL!

There's some piping hot tea breaking all. over the internet and I will say that my. co-host and I, Don Lemon, have been on. this track for quite some time. Pop it up. Breaking expo A chef alleges that his. busboy saw MAGA Senator Josh Hawley. making out with a male escort behind a. building. This is a married man with children. The. chef says, "Maybe we should ask Carlos, not a pseudonym, the busboy who saw you.

kissing your strong date from that. agency when he was taking out the trash. behind the property about your. integrity, Josh." Chef Joe Guerra wrote. on X. You know, the guy you gave $100 to. stay quiet after you chased him into the. elevator going back up into the kitchen, he added in another post. Don. >> [laughter]. >> Okay, first of all, let's just say.

allegedly as we as we say that's that's. what we need to name the show. Okay, so I've you know, this has been. sort of suggested or people have been. saying this about him and you heard, you. know, when Hunter Biden said he didn't. say explicitly but he he said, "Are you. asking me if?" which I think is very. telling. I'm not surprised by these allegations. or these rumors because they've been. going around but I'm actually surprised.

at the prevalence of them now and that. everyone is and I'm surprised also Jen. that people are some people seem shocked. that it's happening. As you said, we've. been doing this for a while. We've been. talking about these rumors. We also have. eyes. We can see if someone is, you. know, kind of gay coded, right? Remember. him in the photograph? Remember we did. an episode and you showed the photograph. of him with the football player, the. kicker, I forget what what his name was, you know, and they look like they. >> Harrison Butker. >> Butler Butker.

>> Butker Butker and it looked like they. were, you know, doing a scene from. Brokeback Mountain. So, >> [laughter]. [gasps]. >> Look, and the thing is is that Jen, do you care if he's gay or bi or likes. to No, but if you're going to operate in. the Republican Party, a party that is, you know, demonizes LGBTQ+ people, then. that is problematic and you shouldn't be. hiding it. So, Josh Hawley, if you are. gay, I'm not saying that you are, I. don't know, but that's what the rumors. say. The streets are talking. Just come. out. >> I would even argue that this is a an.

issue of national security. If we have a. sitting United States Senator that is. alleging to be heterosexual, yet um. is so closeted that he's forced behind. dumpsters in restaurants, allegedly, doing gay stuff with Carlos the bus boy. >> or or being spotted by Carlos the bus. boy. If if he's tracking somebody down, paying him $100 to stay quiet, how many. other people, adversaries, know about.

this? And Don, here's the thing that gay. people exist in every corner of the. globe. They exist in every country, even. the most anti-gay countries have gay. people. And both of our dominant. political parties right now have gay. people. On our side, we have the proud. gays. We have the gays that have the. pride parade, that have allies, and are. building a safer, better place of. inclusivity. On the MAGA side, we have. the shame gays, and I think they should. have a shame parade because.

to me, this is an issue. >> be July because July is hot and the tea. is hot, so July should be the uh you. know how pride June is pride month? >> Yeah, shame month. >> July should be shame month, yeah. Sorry. to cut you off. Yeah. >> And so, we have the Speaker of the. House, little uh Moses Mike Johnson, and. this is just my opinion, allegedly, that. there he's very, very gay obsessed. And. um here's another one right here. And. this one really has some uh legs to it. Pop the next one up. On fire, the chef exposing dirty.

Republican secrets alleges that MAGA. Senator Bernie Moreno is a homosexual. who's into leather and pays for sex. workers, and that's how he's been. blackmailed. He's not just spilling the. beans, he's unleashing an avalanche. He. says, "Okay, I'll expose it at Bernie. Moreno. So your ex-son-in-law, who is a. monster, can shut his abusive. narcissistic face up, and there is no. blackmail. You are a homosexual." And so.

in this situation, nobody can understand. how this senator had all this ire for. 85-year-old uh Anthony Fauci. And he's. like, "Who the [ __ ] do you think you. are?" But he can't stand up to the. congressman who is abusing, allegedly, his daughter and his granddaughter. So. this is where this national security. issue comes in. For me, these. Republicans are supposed to be big. national security people. And we all. know late the late Lady Graham, you. know, she was tight as. she and Benjamin Netanyahu were as tight.

as ticks, right? And so if our. adversaries or bad actors have this. compromising information on these. alleged family conservative values, this. is a real issue. And it seems to me, per. Hunter Biden and others and this chef, that the closetocracy, as Hunter calls. it, is in full force in DC. >> Yeah. >> [clears throat]. >> Allegedly. I got to say though, seriously, think about it, Jen. It's always the angry, mean ones.

>> Yep. >> It's always the ones like who are. yelling at Dr. Fauci and who are trying. to be, you know, or folks like Dr. Fauci. and who are trying to be, "I'm so. you are you're so terrible. F you. You. should be ashamed of yourself." It's. like, where is that coming from? Every accusation is a confession. We know what self-hatred does to people. We know how it affects our psyche. We know what suppression and repression. does to people. You know that. I've had. years and years of therapy.

to tell you and and and it's usually the. people there is a reason that there's a. saying called thou doth protest too. much. It's because it's usually the people who. are protesting, who are over projecting, who are trying to be overly masculine. and overly aggressive that have. something to hide. Now, I'm. generalizing, but that's what psychology. and psychiatrists say. Psychologists and. psychiatrists say that. So, again, I. would not be surprised at any of these. folks are angry or self-hating or gay or.

whatever. And again, we know gay is not. bad. What we're trying to do is tell. people, if you're going to be gay, then. be gay. Don't be in the closet. Don't be. enacting legislation that's detrimental. to members of the LGBTQ+ community. because that is indeed itself hypocrisy. And that sort of hypocrisy needs to be. called out. If you were If you were a. woman. and you are a gen and you are saying, you know, women shouldn't be able to do. this and women shouldn't be able to do. that, people would say, "Well, wait a. minute, you're a woman. What the [ __ ]. are you talking about?".

>> [laughter]. >> And if gay people are saying the same. thing, like how can you be so. self-hating against something that you. are? Maybe you're trying to repress it. so much that you have to do it because. you don't want people to find out. And. also, let me just say this, from. personal experience, I've gone through. this. I had to do back in high school. and college the overly masculine thing. and I'm such a dude and I want to I want. to date chicks and I want to get, you. know what, the P-word. No, no, no. And all the while I knew.

I wanted something else. >> [laughter]. >> And so, it's not like this is foreign to. me because I have done it before when I. was in the closet and once I once I got. out of that closet, I had so much. self-autonomy and self-love and the. weight was lifted off of my shoulder and. I didn't have to pretend to be something. that I wasn't. >> And now you have pride. And you you. reject the shame that the Josh Hawleys, that the Senator Marinos want to project.

onto the LGBTQ+ community. And also, the. rumors are swirling. Another senator, and again, I believe this is. >> Tom Cotton. Pop it up. >> Oh Oh Oh, Jen. Where have you been, girl? >> attended a gay bar in Arkansas, according to the former proprietor. [clears throat] of the bar with whom I. spoke. How will the neocons try to cover. this up? And so, they have They call him. Tom Cotton Candy, and I'd heard it. before. >> Yes, you've heard it. Okay.

>> But [laughter]. >> And And allegedly, you've seen a. photograph. Allegedly, there's a picture. of him, but it's not corroborated. Um. they tried to do like, you know, an. image thing on it, but apparently, everyone says that's a picture of him in. the bar. Um he denies it. It has been. denied. But, I don't know. It You can't. confirm nor deny. If you I don't know if. you have the picture, but um I've heard. these rumors about Tom Cotton for years. Is my gaydar pinging with him? Yes. Do I. care about him? No. In that sense, I. don't I don't find him attractive. I. don't find him any I would not want to. even if he was openly, I would I would.

not be interested in him because I don't. share people. I don't I'm not interested. in people with that mentality. But then. again, if it is true, that's part of. this hypocrisy, pride, shame um. continuum that we're on right now. And. so, I look, again, my thing is, come. out. But I've heard this about Tom. Cotton for years. I don't know if it's. true. Do I look at him and go, "Oh, yeah, sister. Hey, what's up, girl?". >> [laughter]. >> But I don't know. What do you say? You. Jen, you've got a gaydar. Come on.

>> I I You know, I have thought for a very, very long time. All of these people here. mentioned, Additionally, I think uh. Moses Mike Grinder Johnson I get a ping. from J.D. Vance. You saw the way when he. was on the. podcast Usha's podcast like which is a. children's reading podcast. It's weird. [ __ ] But anyway, he like reaches over. and pats her and he's like, "How you. doing?". It's just like if Josh, my husband. >> on the on the knee, right? >> "How you doing there?" I'd be like,

"What the What What do you do What the. [ __ ] wrong with you? Like why are you. tapping me like that?" Um so I do think. that there is a huge problem and I think. it's rather interesting that if you look. at the MAGA regime, the people that were. fired first were the women. And the a lot of these men in the. podcasting bro sphere, they seem to be. happiest in homosocial relationships. Uh we did some reporting earlier that. a lot of people in the Bible Belt now.

they're making these bro gyms. Have you. seen this? >> Oh my god, I have. >> They're Christian bro gyms. And. there's just some weird [ __ ] going on. with Republicans, masculinity, their. obsession with genitalia, their. obsession with the LGBTQ+ community. Um. it They end up telling you in the. comments section what they're thinking. about. You know, like I'll post a. picture I posted a picture of my Italy. trip to my Italian friends next to me.

and somebody commented, "Those two guys. These men are fully heterosexual, fully. clothed." But what Matt doesn't matter. what the gender is. But some MAGA troll. writes, "Those two guys look like they. need butt plugs." And I thought, >> [laughter]. >> And I thought, "If you're seeing that and you're. thinking about butt plugs, you're. telling on yourself. Like you're That. That is not the own you think it is. What that is telling me is that you. think about butt sex a lot.".

>> Did Did you ever think about butt plugs? Like I never That would not even cross. my mind to think about it and and it. came to me. >> and think butt plugs. >> Yeah. It's crazy. [laughter]. And why are why are they obsessed? And. that was the I asked that and so did. you, I think, a very similar question to. Hunter Biden. Why are Republicans so. obsessed with gay people and gay sex? And then he's the one that said there's. a cabal of gay closeted Republicans or. conservatives in Washington who are. running the level bar and they're. self-hating. And I was like,

"Okay, name some names." And then he. named it the way that he named just in. the form of a question, i.e. like. Jeopardy. But let me just say something. about this whole gym thing. I was going to say to you, Jim. >> [laughter]. >> is that you pronounce bathhouse wrong. >> [laughter]. >> Because that's what this is. It's like a. [ __ ] steam room, right? Because go to. any gym if you want and if you I can go. to the gym a million times. I am not.

going to be distracted. by some woman or some man because. they're there at the gym working out. Now, I may notice like, "Oh, that's a. pretty woman. Oh, that's a handsome man. Oh, wow, look, that guy has a great. body. I wish I had that." But I'm not. going to be like, "Oh my god, this is so. distracting. I can't work out here." If. it's like. control yourself, you freaking. Neanderthal. And and but then on the other side, you. only want to work out with guys?

Okay. >> Exactly. And then as time went on, they. have these They have these big boy boot. camps. Now, they call them the alpha. male boot camps where the men go off to. learn how to be more alpha and they're. doing a lot of, you know, exercising and. fitness stuff together. And I just think. that Democrats, and tying this into. where we are, need to do a better job. calling this [ __ ] out. I mean, directly. calling it out. They Their response to.

when every Republican [clears throat]. always goes, "What's a man? What's a. woman? Can you define a gender?" The. Democratic response needs to be, "Why. are you so obsessed with trans people?". Why? >> [snorts]. >> Why do you think Why are you thinking. about trans people right now? It's less. than 1% of the population. Why are you. constantly thinking about trans people? Because allegedly, Lindsey Graham, he. was obsessed with all this [ __ ] too. And now it seems like every trans sex. worker is coming out of the woodwork. right now spilling the tea that Lindsey. liked to wear red panties and hire sex.

workers. This is per the sex worker. >> [laughter]. >> I'm not listening. But look, uh Oh, god. What do And what do these people have? They're not getting anything out of it. They're not really getting any clout by. saying this because would you want to be. associated with someone like that? Like. by by by associating yourself with. someone like that if you are a member of. the trans community or if you are a sex. worker. No shaming of sex workers.

I don't I'm not sure that I would want. to be associated with someone like. Lindsey Graham, a closeted, you know, gay man who is a leader in the country. and who is directly harming the very. people who are coming out and saying. that they were doing this with him. So, I don't think that there's anything in. it for these sex workers. So, there's. got to be something to it. I don't know. what it is. I don't know how much truth. there is, but why would you come out and. do this? Because it seems it would be. harmful for their careers and harmful. for their social media and, you know, in.

the sense that people would be judging. them saying, "Why are you doing this. with this person when you knew they were. doing that? And why didn't you out. them?" So, you know, I don't see that. there's anything in it for them to be. lying about it. And. >> think so, either. And, you know, not. only Hunter Biden said that to us, but I. was on Steve Schmidt's podcast. He was. the campaign [clears throat] manager for. John McCain. And he said, you know, he. worked in the White House. He said, yeah, the Republican Party is full of. closeted [clears throat] gay men. This. is a known secret. What Hunter said is. widely, widely, widely known in DC.

circles, which. >> Steve Schmidt, Stuart Stevens, um. what's his name from the Lincoln. Project? All of them have said the same. thing, right? And so. and they have no reason to lie about it. And each of them were were Republicans. at some point. >> And this brings me to the Speaker of the. House, little Moses Mike Johnson. And. the Republicans have been, you know, immigrants are the problem, trans people. are the problem, LGBTQ people are the.

problem, women are the problem. The more. they complain about marginalized groups, Trump's numbers continue to decline. because of he's an idiot, um he's surrounded by idiots. I could. say something smarter right now, but. these people are not worthy of. intelligent analysis. So now they're going to an old, tried. and true American. way to really drum up fear. And they are. screaming communist, communist. So Mike. Johnson is doing the big red scare stuff.

right now. Pop this up. It's [gasps] no longer Republican versus. Democrat. It's not even common sense. versus crazy. It's America-loving versus. America-hating communist. And today's. Democrat Party has shown us who they. really are. Democrats want to destroy. America, Republicans love America and. will fight to keep the United States the. greatest country in the history of the. world. What I have to say about little. little Moses Mike's statement there.

>> [snorts]. >> is nobody [ __ ] talks or hates on America. more than Donald Trump. He is the. biggest trash talker of this country on. the planet. Furthermore, Moses Mike, you. have everything. You have the Supreme. Court, you have the House, you have the. Senate, you have the uh, executive branch. If your policies are so great, why. aren't Trump's approval numbers in the. 50s, 60s, or 70s? Because Republican policies are built on. pathological lies where you lie to.

middle America and tell them the reason. their life sucks is because of gay. people, because of black people, because. of immigrants, because of women. And. the gig is up. I mean, everybody knows. exactly now that you were pathological. liars, except for those people in the. cult. So, all of this like love America, hate America stuff, it seems like such. an. childish. uh, kindergarten ar- political argument. >> Well, the thing is, too, is I think it's.

sort of similar to thou doth protest too. much. And if you go on that thread, I. don't have uh, Twitter or X, but I can. only go as far as it'll show me on on. the Google machine. But, um, you know, it's some. lower in that thread it says, "Oh, really, you love America and and. Democrats hate America. I can tell how. much you love America by how much money. you take from AIPAC, right?" That's one. of the things. But, the other thing, the. one the next one really summed it up as. I was watch- as I you know, started. researching this story. And there's a. picture of Donald Trump and it says, "No.

more wars." That's a lie. Lower gas prices. That's a lie. Tariff checks. That's a lie. Epstein. transparency. That's a lie. Lower energy. costs. That's a lie. Affordable homes. That's a lie. Drain the swamp. That's a. lie. America first. That's a lie. And so, if you love America so much, why. do you continue to lie to the American. people? Why aren't you doing anything to. help the American people? Why are you. just enriching yourself, uh, instead of. the American people and your rich.

friends? That's not the American way. That doesn't seem patriotic to me. Sending, uh, families and young people off to war. with the possibility of paying the. ultimate sacrifice when you promise not. to do that, that doesn't seem very. patriotic and very American to me. And. if you are such an American and you. believe in the Constitution, why do you. keep saying you're going to run again. in 2028? That's not constitutional. You're. supposed to believe in the Constitution. You're supposed to love that American.

independence, the Declaration of. Independence, all that [ __ ]. Why are you. um. Why do you have, as they say, dual. loyalship, it appears, because of your. support of AIPAC and all that? That's. not American. Your allegiance is should. be to America, and it should be America. first. So, if you are such an American, why are you defying and disobeying the. Constitution. and the laws of this country, uh especially the Constitution by not.

allowing people to have due process? Because it says all people should have. due process in this country, not just. American citizens. So, they pick and choose what they what. they want it to be or what they deem is. right or what they deem to be American. None of these things that they're. espousing appears to be American to me. You know what I think is very American? Is not painting people who are Muslim or. who are not Christians as demon or who. are non-believers as uh demonic or.

communist or uh somehow bad for the the. country. Our founding fathers said that. we there should be no test uh a. religious test in this country. There's. no national religion. And so, I think. the more American thing for me is to. accept people in office who are from all. religions. And that includes uh Abdul. El-Sayed. That includes Azra Mamdani. That includes uh uh. uh Ilhan Omar or any of those folks. So, there's nothing wrong with being Muslim.

There's nothing wrong with being a Sikh. There's nothing wrong with being Baptist. or Catholic or Jewish. But you seem to be demonizing the people. whose religions that you want to. otherize and you're doing it on purpose. That's not very American to me and it's. also, guess what? It's not very God-like. or Christian-like. So, I think they have. the wrong idea about what it is to be a. real American. I think the people who. are more accepting of people from. different religions and with different. ideas about America, who are immigrants. in this country, who are trying to. provide this country um with a a viable.

workforce, um the folks who are who are. running for office who are trying to I I. know I'm going on here, who are trying. to get universal health care or. affordable health care for all people, a. living wage for all people, that it. those are more American ideals than. otherizing or demonizing people. So, shut the [ __ ] up. You can miss me with. that [ __ ]. >> I I agree with you. They're liars. The. Republican Party are they are it's a. death cult and they are pathological. liars. All of their policies, they want.

to dismantle the EPA. What does that. lead to? Deaths. They want to. consolidate profits at the expense of. safety regulations. What does that lead. to? Deaths. You have the Supreme Court. giving more rights to a cancer-causing. fertilizer company. What is that going. to lead to? Deaths. And they do all of. this by Christian signaling to their. white base that we are for traditional. family values. And that traditional. family excludes you and your beautiful.

husband, Tim. It excludes your family. It excludes my family because we're not. Christian. It excludes. uh Zoran Momdani's family cuz he's not. Christian. Meanwhile, you got, allegedly, Josh Hawley doing a little. slap and tickle by some dumpster at some. restaurant. >> Allegedly. >> Allegedly. And then you got Kristi Noem. who allegedly has been uh doing a little. slap and tickle with Corey Lewandowski. for years. Let's play this clip from.

TMZ. >> Here's the tea. >> [laughter]. >> So, there's Cristy. >> The. >> and Corey. just hamming it up, having a good old. time. >> Wait, he sees the camera. Watch what. happens when he sees the camera. Turns his head. >> Oh. This to me is patriot patriotic, the. person filming this.

So, >> meanwhile. >> on the bikes. Look at them on the bikes. Look at them on the bikes. >> [laughter]. >> So, meanwhile. the traditional family of Cristy Noem. makes me wonder where the hell is. big-titty Brian in this whole thing. What's he up to? Pop this up. Remember, this is the husband of Cristy Noem. who does nothing but Christian signal, talks about her faith, talks about. traditional which here he is in his pink. panties and his big old titties with.

asymmetrical nipples, and she's out. banging Corey Lewandowski bike riding. and slapping tickling, and they want to. lecture us about family values. They're. all liars. They're liars. >> [laughter]. >> PINK PANTY CLUB. IT'S THE PINK PANTY CLUB. Thank you very. much. Chapel Roan, sorry for desecrating. your song like that and changing the. lyrics. But, yeah, you're 100% right.

And they were doing that before. And if. they were, you know, they talk about. these family values and marr- everybody. should be married in traditional. marriage. And what do they call them? Tradwives and all this [ __ ] And they're. all doing I mean, basically, they all. all of them may as well put pineapples. on their doors. Because you know you know what that you. know what's up. Come on now. >> [laughter]. >> If you. People talk about the [ __ ] that they're. obsessed with. They talk about the. things that are on their minds, right? That that with something that is on your. mind that much, you're going to discuss.

it. You're going to either, you know, you're going to tout it, you're going to. go rail against it, or whatever. Just. like we rail against the the the. homophobes and the hypocrites because we. like it we can't stand it. They rail. against the other folks because they're. obsessed. They're obsessed, and they. can't stand that these these folks have. happier marriages. and and more traditional, if you want to. call it that, marriages than they do. Jen, you see you've seen some of my. friend group. You know lots of gay men.

The gay men who I know, most of them. their relationships have lasted longer. and are lasting longer than. heterosexuals. During COVID, so many of my straight. friends were getting divorces or. separating or having an affairs. And I that my gay friends were like, "Oh, we're going to dinner, then we're. going to go on home to our kids. They've. got the tutor tomorrow, or they've got, you know, virtual class tomorrow. We got. to go, whatever." Or we do we do virtual. dinners. None of them, pretty much. Now,

I'm not saying that everybody is, you. know, having a happy marriage in in the. is part of the gay community, but for. the most part, I think that they are probably jealous. of these relationships cuz people can be. themselves. I think in in gay marriages, if that is a possibility, if you're. going to either be having an open. relationship, or you know, maybe you. have be part of a thruple, people are. more open about it. It's healthier. They. talk about it. They discuss it even with. their therapist, and they move on. But that if you if it's something that.

you have to hide, if that's something. that you're wanting to do, and you. repress it, it is going to show up in. ways that are detrimental to you, and. maybe ways that you can't control, or. that you wouldn't be able to control it. if you or that you would be able to. control it if it was something that you. put on the table, and you were. straightforward and and transparent. about. >> I completely agree, I still want to. leave everybody with this notion. If the roles were reversed here and the.

Democratic Party had elected candidates. that were leading alleged double lives, the Republicans would be screaming that. this is a national security risk. And. when you really step back and think. about it that you have sitting United. States senators that are allegedly. doing gay stuff out by a dumpster. because that's the only place in their. in their lives they can even go do. something because they live these. duplicitous hypocritical lives. And Tom. Cotton's running around doing stuff. allegedly. Lady Graham, etc. And I mean.

one could make the argument that Lady. Graham was being blackmailed by Benjamin. Netanyahu. I'll buy that all day long. based on his behavior. Now, I don't know. if he was or not, but if the roles were. reversed, you can bet your sweet ass. that the. Republicans would be ringing the alarm. bells about this about this duplicity. about this dishonesty and about it being. a national security risk. And I think. the Democrats need to start turning up.

the heat on this because there is enough. Republicans now that are anti-MAGA. like you said the Lincoln Project guys. that know about this stuff and I think. the finest form of patriotism right now. is outing every single one of these. hypocritical MAGA men. Now, if somebody. is living in the closet passively and. that's their own business, they're not. in they haven't chosen a public life, I. have that's nobody's business and I have. all the empathy in the world for that. But these politicians like Josh Hawley.

and who and Tom Cotton, the late Lindsey. Graham, this Moreno who can't even stand. up for his daughter and his and his. granddaughter because of these secrets. with this alleged leather. incidents with sex workers. That's I mean. >> like some leather? Honey, let your freak. flag fly. I'm just saying. Why not? Where's Google get you some chaps and. get down to the go to. What's the one that used to have the the. Oh my god, was it called black and blue.

or something in. and that was in Toronto or in Canada or. just go Well, go to the leather thing. Go to Folsom Street and whatever. Get. your freak on. Do your thing or just do. it in the privacy of your home. But you. know, don't be Don't hide and do it if. that's if that's indeed the case. Don't. hide and do it. And look, I keep I keep. looking around at because I'm in a hotel. right now, Jen, and I don't watch the. cable news. But when you're in a hotel, you flip on the TV and it goes right to. the cable, right? I So I said, "Okay, let me just I'm.

going to indulge for a minute.". And everything is about how. Democrats are now becoming communists. and socialists and Hasan [ __ ] is the. most evil thing in the world. I'm like, "Hasan [ __ ] is a is a podcaster. He's a. streamer. He's like an influencer." And. maybe because his name is Hasan or. whatever, it's like there are crazier. people on the far right who you don't. demonize, who say far more, you know, harmful [ __ ] than Hasan [ __ ].

They're talking about El Sayid and you. know, the squad and everybody's like. this this communist demon. And it's And. then And how that they're voting now for. Anthony Fauci. contempt. That he's now going to he's being. charged with contempt. And it's like, "What is your obsession with Dr. Anthony. Fauci?" We're talking about COVID when. we were in a time for COVID where people. did had no idea what was going on. And [snorts] most people most rational. people said, "Okay, we don't know.

I'm going to trust that the the experts. are going to lead us in the right. directions." All the while knowing that. that. you that that medical professionals have. to sometimes pivot when they get new. information. That's what intelligent. people do. So, let's do what we can to. try to save the most amount of lives. rather than saying everything should be. open. The gym should be open. People. should be doing that. Worst mistakes. made, yes, but you want to prosecute. this man for what? Because Rand Paul, you have a vendetta against Dr. Anthony.

Fauci? This is That's what I mean by these. people cannot love America. when they're not operating within the. bounds of rationality or reasonableness. or. outside of the bounds of what's. constitution and what's American and. what is patriotic. How can I How can you. expect me to believe that you are a. patriot and that you love America when. you're doing everything to make America. worse? I don't get it. I really don't. And this is why I can I This is why I'm. like I can't believe that I operated in.

this cable system for so long because it. is it is outrageous some of the. questions that they ask and and like. they're on TV like looking like they're. going to a cocktail party all made up. I'm like, where do you have like a hot. date after this? Like, what are you. doing? It's kind of crazy. Anyways, I. >> I'm I'm with you on this. It's they want. to talk about Hasan [ __ ] all the time. who is a Twitch streamer and they never. want to talk about. but who who is turning in out to be a. little king maker. He's. >> Yeah, but what about Charlie Kirk? What.

about Charlie Kirk? >> what about Charlie Kirk? What about. having Ted Cruz on your show? What who. Whatever channel that it that is, I bet. they have lying unfuckable Ted Cruz on. their show all the time and act like he. is a serious person. He couldn't even. stand up for his own wife when Trump. called her ugly. And then they'll have. on J.D. Vance and treat him like he's a. serious person when just a few years ago. he said Trump was America's Hitler. So, spare me cable news all of the.

sanctimony when you have a. a clown car of pathologically lying. idiots on that you rise up and act like. they are normal human beings when. they're not because every single time. Ted Cruz is introduced or every single. time J.D. Vance is introduced, he should. be introduced as such. Next, I'm joined. with the vice president of the United. States who just short 4 years ago said. that Trump was America's sent Hitler. Mr. Vice President, how are you today?

Do you still stand by that statement? And remind every day what hypocrites. these people are. >> Yeah, and also too, the the the way they. normalize things and I think you and I. have spoken about this before. I'm not. sure, but with this new plane, right? Which was obvious that that this new. plane does not does not have the safety. features. needed for someone with the stature of. the president of the United States to be. flying on it. And they had to change up. when he was in the Middle East, he was. flying too close to I think it was. Turkey or whatever, wherever he was. And.

he was flying too close to Iran and they. were like, "W- We don't know what the. safety features are, right?" We've been. saying that to him. Every expert has. been saying that to him since he wanted. this plane, which he says was a gift. It. wasn't a gift. The American people have. have paid uh hundreds of millions of. dollars. for this plane to retrofit it and it's. still not up to standards. But, when it. is introduced on cable news, they say, uh "There's Air Force One." And it's. like, "No, no, no, no, no. You should be. saying, 'There is the plane that he is. using as Air Force One, which was.

supposed to be a gift from Qatar, but it. turns out not like they need to explain. the whole thing because then that plane. becomes normal.'". >> It does. And also, when they're doing. all the Islamophobia about Abdul. al-Sayed or Zoran Momdani, point out. that Jared Kushner is right up the. Saudis' ass to the tune of billions of. dollars. And Saudi Arabia, for the. record, funded 9/11. So, spare me all. the uh uh. selective Islamophobia when you want to.

use it because right now the Trump. administration is making billions, not. for America, but for themselves. personally, off the very same Muslim. people that you claim are so dangerous. But when they're Muslims in America. fighting for. universal human rights, they can't stand. [clears throat] up for them. It's just. maddening. And when the history books. are written on this, the cable news and Trump 2.0 is going to. it's going to have a horrible. indictment, because they're supposed to.

be a guardrail. And. I agree with you, they completely. normalize every aspect of it. >> Every aspect of it, and it just. infuriates me. And some of the. questions, I'm like, what is like, why. are you. Why are you asking that question? Sometimes I wonder, not I wonder, if the. agenda behind it, even even Look, let me. tell you something. Even some of the. people that they may think are liberal. and they're on the liberal networks, no, no, no, no, no, not all of them. Not all. of them. They're not I'm looking to see. that Oh, there's a Yeah, a communist.

They're going to a commercial break and. they Oh, this thing about the. colonization. The these communists or these democratic. socialists. Now, Abdul El-Sayed is not I. said he's not a democratic socialist. He. said that. He says, "I'm a capitalist.". And so but they're trying to make him. into one. But they're But this whole. idea now that they're saying that the. democratic socialists or the socialists. on the left are trying to colonize the. Democratic Party. >> No, they're actually trying to take the. Democratic Party back to being the party.

of FDR. The corporatists are the ones. that are that are colonizing the party. in a post. Citizens United world. What the Zornes. and the Abdul El-Sayeds are trying to. get it away from corporate interests, because Oklahoma I mean, not Oklahoma, I. have jet lag. The United States of. America. >> [laughter]. >> isn't really a democracy, is it? It's. more of a corporate sanctuary. Nothing happens in this in this country. without corporate blessing and it.

shouldn't be that way. It should be the. people should bless it. But anyway, Don, we could go on and on. I'm so sorry I. missed you last week. >> go, just one more thing. I think that. Democrats and Republicans are in for a. rude awakening in November of 2026. They're I mean I mean the sort of. centrist. toe the line Democrats and Republicans. I don't I think that they are out of. touch with what the American people want. and there's a reason that these. candidates that you're saying are. socialist or whatever or maybe more on. the progressive side, there's a reason. that they're winning.

and you're not, you know, you're you. have a tenure or you're just in your. bubble and that you don't realize it. Sorry to to interrupt. >> No, no, I agree with you. I think that. you're right. They're going to be in for. a very rude awakening. Don Lemon, I. always love you. Safe travels. >> I missed you. >> I missed you. >> me with you next time. Look at your tan. I mean, damn, girl. >> I know. All right, I'll see you later. >> hairing, the tan is tanning, the skin is. skinning. [laughter]. I love it. The body is bodying. >> Oh, Don, stop. Actually, go on.

Actually, go [laughter] on. Go on. >> jewels are jeweling. I see you, girl. I love you. >> Uh bye. Love you, too.
