🚨 Trump BLINDSIDED By MAJOR BETRAYAL! All Hell BREAKS LOOSE Over HIDDEN TAPES!

Well, knock me over with a feather. I would be saying that Ted Cruz said. something right. >> He sees a football player and he's like, "God, he has great thighs.". >> And then he's he's like, "He's so. handsome.". >> Yeah, he's on it on it. >> jerk off. >> I think it would be really fun and. healing for the country if we hooked. Donald Trump's kept to one of these. devices. Now, mind you, the doctor might. have a hard time finding [music] it per. Stormy Daniels. All right, guess who's. back? It's Don Lemon and we are about to. dive right into the tea. Let me tell you. something, MAGA. They want the Epstein files to.

disappear, but not on our watch. Not on. our watch. Don, I want to play this clip. of Todd Blanche telling none other. than podcast extraordinaire sensation. Katie Miller. >> [laughter]. >> that there's no evidence of hidden. cameras in Jeffrey Epstein's homes. AKA, he's lying. Play the clip. >> find all the videotapes from all of his. hidden cameras that he had throughout. his homes. >> There's. um.

there's no evidence that he had hidden. cameras throughout his homes throughout. his homes. I mean, so just let me put a. finer point on that. Does that mean he. didn't have hidden cameras? No, I've no. idea whether he did or not. We never. collected any evidence. We got all of. his devices. We searched all of his. devices. There is no evidence of any. hidden cameras. >> I can't get over his socks, first of. all, but. >> [laughter]. >> Remember last time we got together, we. said, "Less is more.". >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> I don't believe him. >> Well, obviously, we all know there were.

cameras in his home because we've seen. the images of them. So, he's lying, but. he says, "We don't know if there were or. were not cameras." It's your job. You're. the DOJ. You're the FBI. It's your. [ __ ] job to know. >> There there could have been cameras or. hidden We know that there cameras there. I mean, who would have a compound like. that and not have cameras? I mean, even. in my little dinky house Not dinky. I. have security cameras. I don't have. hidden cameras. Um but I Yeah, we've. seen the the the footage. Haven't we. seen the footage of the camera?

>> Yes, we have in his Manhattan apartment. and in on Epstein Island. Zorro Ranch. was never searched, but we have to. assume that the whole purpose of this. and this has been widely speculated and. alleged was for Jeffrey Epstein to get. these powerful men in compromising. positions. So he then had something over. them. This is a a personal attorney of. Donald Trump. who walked into court and got his ass. handed to him with 34 guilty counts.

And now he is doing Donald Trump's dirty. work and this is the same guy Don that. went and met with Ghislaine Maxwell. privately. No US attorneys with him. To a cream puff prison with a dog. >> Yeah. >> And you know what? I guarantee you he. told her, "Hang tight. Don't speak. You're going to get a. pardon. You just have to wait until we. can politically do it.". >> You think so? >> I do. >> Allegedly. >> Allegedly. >> [laughter]. >> Look, I. Every time I. I have to be honest with you.

>> Okay. >> Every time I see him, he doesn't he the. less bright he seems. >> Yes. >> First when he was an attorney, he kept. his mouth shut and he would stand behind. Trump. I was like, "Oh, who's that? Oh, that must be his attorney, whatever.". And then the more he opens his mouth, the more he exposes himself. And um I. shouldn't be saying that around Jeffrey. Epstein's story. >> [laughter]. >> But it is his job, as you said, to know. >> Yeah. >> what the evidence is and what it shows. and what it doesn't show. Just say that.

the evidence doesn't show that. Now, there could be It's like, "Well, what do. you mean there could be? Haven't you. been there?" The person who you are the. Attorney General for is mentioned. thousands and thousands and thousands of. times in the Epstein files. One would. think that at least you would want to. have some transparency or at least in. some way to exonerate him, right? We've. seen the hidden cameras. Donald Trump is. not on them. So I don't believe I think. he's lying about that. But, this is what. Todd Blanchett reminds me every every. time I see him. He's like, "You know, I. love the president and if the president.

wants me to serve in whatever capacity, I will say, 'Thank you, Mr. President. What do you want me to do?'" So, you. know, I don't know if there are cameras. there. It's just how he sounds like. that. >> Yeah. >> You like. you will not be able to unhear it and. when that's how he sounds. >> It completely. These guys are always. trying to out ask kiss the president who. by [clears throat] the way, I I think, you know, he was missing for like a. week. And then he rolls out yesterday. with a show and tell presentation where.

he is has a false equivalency of the. reflecting pool. >> Oh my god. >> Comparing it to the Empire State. Building. I mean, it's like apples and. oranges. >> Jen. >> And the problem, Don, nobody in that. White House, not one [ __ ]. >> says. >> says you can't do that. This is crazy. >> It's not. >> And they make the they make the poster. for him and they turn on the cameras and. they will his fat ass out there. Do you. know it according to his. last Walter Reed visit, he had gained 14.

lb? Do you think that's actual weight. gain or do you think that's swelling. from all the medication he's on? >> Well, it's a combination. It's probably. the steroids, but look, you know he. already did lie about his weight. You. know, truth about his weight. If you have you. ever seen a comparisons of like what a, you know, 200 and whatever pounds 6 foot. whatever man looks like and then some. athlete and then you see Donald Trump, you're like, "There's no way this this. it's it's not. true.". Um. We talked about how tacky it is. I. called it the Beverly What did we call.

it? The DC Hillbillies or the White. House Hillbillies is basically what it. is. Donald Trump doesn't understand that the. name of what that. pool or structure is supposed to be, it's in the title. Reflecting pool. In order to have a reflecting pool, the. bottom has to be black. And so not look like a swimming pool at. some tacky resort that Donald Trump. built that probably has gold letters on. it. >> Wet 'n Wild.

>> Or in where I'm from in Louisiana, it's. called Blue Bayou, right? It's. >> In Oklahoma, it's called. White Water Bay. I think we I'm serious, I think we. should turn it into a wave pool. What if. we all. >> That's. >> Why stop THERE? >> OH MY GOD, YOU ARE channeling me. So. what are we going to call What would we. call it? The. um. >> Trump Water Bay. >> WHITE REFLECTIONS. >> [laughter]. >> IT'S. LIKE PEOPLE [clears throat] ARE um but. guess what? You're going to see if it looks like a. swimming pool, you're going to see some.

MAGA folks coming, they're going to jump. in, they're going to be swimming there, they're going to bring their lunch and. their kids, they're going to be putting. towels on the side, and it's going to. become. the. uh. >> White Trash Bay. >> No, the uh What did they call it on the. Beverly Hillbillies? The cement pond. >> [laughter]. >> It's going to become the cement pond. >> Yeah, Jethro and Ellie May, Aunt. Clampett. What was What was it? >> Uh it was Ellie May, Jethro, uh Grandma.

Clampett. >> Yeah, Grandma Clampett, Jed. >> And and. >> Jed. >> Jed Jed Clampett, mhm. >> Okay. Moving along, um. Representative Andy Ogles is very. triggered. >> [snorts]. >> by gay people, okay? So um I'm going to put up a post in just. a second, but I want to say. tell us you're gay without telling us. you're gay. Now, Collie, pop up this. post. Representative Andy Ogles, "Homosexuality has no place in America.

Happy nuclear family month." And so. Riley Gaines and all the big alleged. heterosexuals. are um bragging about uh nuclear family. month. He has since deleted this and of. course he has blamed an aid for doing. it. He said, "I was working on the farm. and then my phone lit up and some aid, like, you know, young congressional. staffer allegedly posted." Well, this. reminded me that Ted Cruz on 9/11 one. year liked a a tweet from a porn.

website. That dirty dog. He liked some. [ __ ]. pornography thing and then he came out. afterwards and blamed a congressional. aid for doing it. >> There is, uh, so much of this going. around. First of all, we'll talk about. that. But just real quickly, can we put. up the the thing again? Look at that. hair. >> Oh, yeah. >> [laughter]. >> That tells you everything, okay? That's.

a lot of That's a lot of product. >> Yeah. >> But didn't Donald Trump I forget there's. so much swimming around in my head that. he's tweeted or posted, um, and that he. has blamed staffers. He blamed staffers. or something. I don't remember if it was. a the Barack and Michelle Obama eight. video or something, but they said it was. a staffer. >> Yeah. >> Right, that's always the excuse. >> Right. >> Here's the thing and I'll tell you, homosexuality has no place in America. Uh, happy nuclear family month. First of all, most of the people I know, my gay. friends who are married, and most of.

them are married, they have been in. their relationships longer than any. straight person that I know. No offense, you're straight, but I'm just saying. And my gay friends are in, um, monogamous relationships, they have. kids, they're working hard to try to. send them to get the best education. If. they can afford private school, they're. sending. And we're going home at night. and taking care of our business and. worrying about work the next day. We're. not going on websites with our titties. and big, you know, balloon titties. >> Oh, big titty Brian. >> Brian. >> [laughter].

>> And doing some weird [ __ ] because we. believe in live and let live. And if. it's two consenting adults, I'm not. judging it. If somebody wants If. somebody is straight or gay, that's who. they are. Let people be who they are. So, uh I don't know what he's talking about. And if you look at the marriage. statistics, especially among gay men, last longer than heterosexual. relationships. >> I think the lesbians even outperform. the gay men and the straights. Kylie, can you look that up for us? >> The men? The lesbians break up? >> ON LESBIANS. >> OH, THE CAT.

>> AND THEN do you know the comedian says, "I don't say this." The comedian say, "You know why that happens, why lesbians. have have such, you know, bad marriage. statistics? Oh, it's not great. It's. because it's two women involved. >> [laughter]. >> And they can't make a decision." That I. didn't say that. >> He didn't He said Yes, he is repeating a. comedian. >> I'm repeating a. >> We love the lesbians. >> We Oh, come on. >> Okay, so Ted Cruz, of all people, has. responded to Ogles tweet. Let's play the. clip. >> Ogles, Republican from Tennessee. He. says that homosexuality.

has no place in America. Agree or. disagree? >> Well, I think. for all of recorded history, uh. homosexuals have been part of humanity. And. uh you know, I got to say my I'm quite. libertarian by nature. I think the. behavior of consenting adults is is. their business. >> But what. >> I like that he's libertarian by nature, except for when somebody calls his wife. ugly. >> Well, knock me over with a feather. >> Uh-huh. >> That I [laughter] would be saying that. Ted Cruz said something right. I mean,

Cancun Ted. Maybe he's Maybe he's having. some fun down in Cancun. >> Here's the rumor. So, it's alleged, and. I and I tiptoe into this very carefully. because um Ted Cruz has two daughters. >> Yeah. >> And it is alleged that a that one of his. daughters is bisexual. >> Mhm. >> And this is what happens to a lot of. these Republicans and a lot of these. MAGA Christians. You don't give a [ __ ]. about anything, and you browbeat, and. you ostracize, and you hate, hate, hate. And then somebody you love. >> Yeah. >> is a member of the LGBTQ plus community.

Exactly. And then you go, "Oh, wait. I don't want the laws to. bully my child." I And I don't know if. that's true or not, but this is alleged. that is to why he has had an about-face. on this, which Here's the thing, Don, and you can attest to this. If Lady. Graham if. um. Ted, if Josh Hawley, who struggles to. kiss his wife, little Moses Mike. Grinder, if any of these people. came out of the closet, atoned,

spoke about it, no one would accept them. as much as the gay community would. >> Yeah. Yeah. No one would. >> No one. >> Because we're very forgiving, and we. realize like it's tough to come out. But. the thing is if it's tough to come out. because the people who you were. mentioning are they make it so tough for. people to come out. They make you think. that it is bad, that it is an. abomination before God, and all the. things, and that you are not deserving. of the rights that every other American. or heterosexual Americans. It's because.

of the very things that they believe, they've been co-opted or co- coaxed into. believing. It's because of those things. that it make it makes it difficult for. them to come out. It also makes it I. think it also leads to aberrant. behavior, because you are constantly. hiding things. And when you're hiding it. and you're suppressing it, it comes out, I believe, in weird, strange ways or. ways that you think no one will find out. about. So, um. >> And it produces a shame cycle. >> But speaking of.

Did you get Did you see that picture of. Scott Bessent and Tim Scott? >> No. >> You Oh my god, let me. >> Kylie, will you find it? >> Oh my gosh, you have You've got to see. it. Because it's um yeah, we'll find it. >> Wow. Okay, while Kylie's finding that, let me show you a new Gallup poll that. is very concerning to me. Pop this up. So, we have support for uh, US support. for LGBTQ plus issues is remaining down. from the peak. And as you can see, it.

starts the graph for those of you that. are listening, not watching, the graph. goes upward, and then it stops around, you know, all of this Trumpism, and now. it's tilting downwards. And so. legislating hate and homophobia has. real-life consequences. And you know, you hear all this stuff about this sort. of this sort of, uh, bigotry is on the. rise, and that sort of bigotry is on the. rise. To me, the most the biggest. bigotry on the rise right now in the. United States that's not reported enough.

is anti- black racism. Because. materially, they Republicans and the. Supreme Court are removing black voices. from Congress, representation. And the. second bigotry that is on the rise in. the United States is, um, anti-LGBTQ+. and it's really bad in these red states. You're from a red state originally, you. left. I'm from a red state originally, I. left. It's really, really bad down. there. >> It's really, really bad and.

it's obvious that this environment is. contributing to that. Uh, again, Mat Ted. Cruz said two consenting adults, it's. their business. And I think that, you. know, if you are, um, especially if you. are, let's say you're from a red state. and you're Christian. You're not supposed to judge. You can. believe whatever you want to believe, but you're not supposed to judge someone. else. And then that just that very. instance, I think that you should allow. people to live and be who they are. Uh, and if you want to practice your. religion and that and it tells you that, you know, you shouldn't be gay. Okay, then don't be gay.

Right? But don't But also, you have to. remember, and I think you have to. respect that we live in a country that's. a constitution and it's a democracy. And. it's not it shouldn't be built on laws. We When they When we established this. country, it's so that there is no state. religion and there is no religious test. for citizenship. And so in order to be to have the same. rights as everyone else, then it should. apply that there is no religious test, there is no test for sexuality, there is. no test for what you do in your bedroom.

That's your business. That's what. America is about, but it it's obvious. that this is contributing to that and. all of the racism in this country. Donald Trump and Maga. are responsible for the rise of racism. and the rise of anti-black violence that. we don't talk about and we don't talk. about anti-LGBTQ. violence as well and the violence that's. perpetrated on trans people since they. have been targeting trans people since. Donald Trump has been in office. >> There's no question about it and the.

Trump administration is attempting to. alter the slave memorial, Don. Pop this. up. So, the Trump administration is arguing. for power to alter the memorial to. enslaved people who lived at George. Washington's residence in Philadelphia. This is the second time that Trump has. tried to alter the memorial. The. National Park Service removed placards. and videos displays commemorating the. history of slavery on the site in. January. A judge then ordered the.

exhibit to be restored. So, Don, we have. this rise in anti-black racism, this. rise in homophobia. and. uh um. Jared and Ivanka. are basically Jeffrey Epstein Ghislaine. Maxwell 2.0. >> Oh, with their with their island? Is. that what you're talking about? >> What the [ __ ]. >> [laughter]. >> Could you imagine if your daddy was in. the middle. of a pedophile ring where all the crimes. took place on a private island that then.

you would get on camera and say, "I'm. building a private island. I discovered. a private island and I'm building a. compound on it?". >> They don't care. They're out of touch and they've been. they've had the entitlement and the. privilege for so long that they can get. away with anything. and in large part because of their. racism and bigotry. that they don't Ivanka doesn't care. >> No. >> Donald Trump doesn't care. He the only thing that he cares about is. not being prosecuted for that or or at. least having his name he believes.

sullied by that, but he's done a good. enough job of that himself. But can we. talk about that exhibit? >> Yeah, I yeah, I want to get your take on. it. >> just saying the hypocrisy. >> Yep. >> These are the very same people you talk. about being from a red state. We want to put back the Robert E. Lee. Memorial. We want to go the Confederate. flag should be hanging. We shouldn't be. removing um um. civil war memorials and statues. And they but. when it comes to them, they want to take. it down the they want to take down the. black the African-American one,

but they want to erect the other one. That tells you everything you need to. know. This isn't about meritocracy or. equality or equity, it's about white. supremacy is what it's about. Bottom. line, end of story, full stop, period. >> Do you think that we have allowed as a. nation. >> Mhm. >> um over the course of the last several. decades, we have allowed. as a default setting particularly in the. South. Well, these people have a real. close um.

connection to the Confederacy. It's a. part of their their heritage. It's a. part of their culture. Instead of saying, "Fuck you, you bigot. [ __ ] you." And here's just something. that the NAACP has been talking about um. having black athletes boycott like. Alabama, Roll Tide. I know from. Oklahoma, the University of Oklahoma. Sooners are like a religion. It's like. Jesus and close second is football. >> I mean, I know LSU. >> Yeah, LSU. Do you think. I think that would really impact people.

>> I think it would have a huge impact. >> I do. >> Because it pisses me off that they want. to participate in enjoying black. excellence. They participate in enjoying. gay excellence with a lot of the. products and [ __ ] they use, but then. they go and vote for hate and bigotry. >> And they all stand up and dance to YMCA. cuz Donald Trump is doing this like. you're you're dancing to the biggest gay. anthem ever. >> No one's saying it. >> we're going to take that [ __ ] back when. he's gone. >> Yes. >> [laughter]. >> We're getting YMCA back. >> We're going to get the YMCA back. Uh.

yeah. Uh. they want to enjoy all of it, right? And. they are enjoying the fruits every. single day. Jen, you know this. >> Yep. >> People around this country are enjoying. the fruits of slave labor, enslaved. black people in this country. Uh look at even the the Fortune 500. companies. A lot of that came from sweat equity. from slaves. But yet we have the. descendants of slaves have no equity in. all of that. In none of it. And and have.

had um. very little opportunities in building. generational wealth. the way white people in this country. have had. Um and I so I agree. These universities make so much money. off of their football programs, their. basketball programs, their baseball, or. whatever it is, especially the SEC. They. make so much money off of black black. excellence. >> Yep. >> And yet they want to restrict black. rights, voting rights, >> representation. >> representation rights, right? >> Right.

>> And so but you want to sit there in a. stadium on a Saturday night. and see all of these black folk the. black boys running, young men running, you know, get touchdowns and and win for. your team and your university making. millions of dollars off of them. >> Yeah, and getting grants from taxpayers. >> grants from taxpayers. Yeah, I would say. you should they should start saying no. because they don't have to go to these. SEC universities. They don't have to go. to these universities where they are. trying to restrict voting rights for. black people. If you are a number one. draft pick for the SEC, you better.

believe that every other university. who's not in the SEC wants your ass. there. >> Here's what I want. >> what can I finish? >> Go ahead, Y'all sir. >> Cuz I hear people saying this is a lot. to put on Jen. They say this is a lot to. put on young people, a 17-year-old, 18-year-old. Do you know how old John. Lewis was when he was getting his head. cracked in the in the in the front lines. of the civil rights movement? Do you. know who those people who were sitting. at lunch counters having dogs sicked on. them and hoses? These were young people, high school people and college people. So, don't tell me because you don't want. your your your kid is going to miss out. perhaps on a football program at LSU.

when they maybe going to maybe they can. go to, you know, USC or you know, some. university that's not part of. of the SEC or not part of a a state. that's restricting rights. That's [ __ ] Everybody has to be. willing to sacrifice something. And I. think to, you know, for a football. program, go to another university. They. surely would want you. Sorry. >> No, no. I'm I'm on my. >> soapbox. >> No, that was so. was such a poignant point and it is a. reminder that these fights have not.

concluded yet. That it is an ongoing. living fight. And one thing I know from. living in a red state, and you do too, is how near and dear this these football. programs are to people. It's a huge part. of the culture. And I think if they want. white culture, we give it to them. We let them have a MAGA football team in. Alabama, at LSU, at uh University of Oklahoma. And get. all these white boys out there. And you go roll tide. You do it, baby. Because I am so sick of the hypocrisy.

and the duplicity. I can't tell you how. many women I know in Oklahoma City. and we would have the same hair. hairdresser, this fabulous gay man, sweet, kind-hearted kid who who young. man now who has the horrible experience. of being gay in the judgmental Bible. Belt. And these women come in, talk. about how they're voting for Trump, and. about their tax breaks. And they never. ever think about that man's feelings. >> As he's doing that hair.

>> And how dehumanizing that movement is to. gay people. And I think these [ __ ]. [ __ ]. >> So glad you're talking about that. >> Yeah. >> Because my sister, remember my sister. passed, remember? >> Yeah. >> She was a colorist, the best in town. People would like come, they would. change their whole schedules. And if she. said, "Oh, my car broke down." They're. like, "We'll buy you a new car.". Because, you know, people are about. their hair color. And so people loved. Emma, right? My sister's Emma. And she. said they would come into her shop and. they would start talking about Trump. And she would say,

she take the thing off. And she goes, "Do you understand that I'm here? I'm. not a supporter of that. I don't want to. hear that. And if you're going to talk. about it, then you have to leave." And. sometimes she would say, "I'm not doing. your hair anymore.". And I I loved her for standing up. But. she stood up for herself and she said, "I don't care if I lose clients because. not all money is good money." And we. need more people We need more Emmas in. this world who would, you know, stand up. for not only her rights, but also the. rights of others. And give back. And my. sister had no agency. She wasn't a, you.

know, some person who had, you know, a a. podcast or a television show on CNN. She was just a nice, professional woman. who could do good hair and wanted some. respect. And she knew what was right. And so I think we need more of those. people. I'm so glad that you said that. because I didn't think about it until. this moment. >> No, I think it's it's important because. you you we always defer as a default. setting to what would offend the racist. Like, you know, these these people that. had the bakery shop who were so upset.

that they had to bake a gay wedding. cake. But let's flip the script. Let's. talk about the black people and the gay. people who have these bigots come in and. then project their racism either veiled. or thinly veiled or not veiled at all. onto these people. >> They don't think they're being racist. They have no idea. The thing is is that. they're clueless about it. And they're. clueless about it, Jen, in the same way. that you know, because you're a better. woman than me. You actually go on these.

programs and you debate with them. The the people the pundits and the. um. uh what do you call them? The. broadcasters, the manosphere, all of. those people who are out there Trump. supporters or whatever just supporting. supporting supporting. They are always. at a deficit for facts. And when you. confront them, it's like a paper tiger, right? It's you know, they just start to. to crumble. Because they are fact. deficit. I The new thing that I call. them is not it's not just fact deficit.

I call it um they're on uh. um. a fact it's a fact desert. You know they. have food deserts in certain. It's a fact and a reality desert because. they [laughter] are on an island or. they're on a desert where the only. information they're getting is from. either Trump's Truth Social or Fox News. And they have no idea what is happening. around them. They're not in an. information ecosystem. They're in a. desert of non-information. >> Well, speaking of a fact desert and. racist and white [ __ ] um I would be.

remiss if I didn't mention uh Secretary. of Defense I refuse to call it Secretary. of War out of spite. Uh Pete Hegseth Yeah, Pete Hegseth has. hired a January 6 rioter to work at the. Pentagon. And mind you, this is a guy. who it is on the record has fired people. because they are black, because they are. woman, or because they are black women. This is a guy who sees it as a problem. to be uh. uh employed by the military while being. black.

>> their promotions. Stopping them from. getting promoted. >> So here here's this post. Pop this up. Recent reports reveal that Pete. Hegseth's Pentagon has hired a convicted. convicted January 6 rioter for a role. that handles classified military. operations. And here the Washington Post. has found an image of this person. breaking into the Capitol. Um Don, what's your take on that? >> I'm not surprised. >> Mhm. >> I'm not surprised. I mean, look. he pardoned all of them.

And I'm not surprised. Are you surprised. that he hired those people? There are. probably many people who already work. there or who he's hired who at least. have the same sentiment. Maybe they. didn't go into the Capitol. But you. could see now that they what they're. trying to do is um. um. have the January 6th folks like they're. they're they're rehabilitating their. reputation. Trying to make them into heroes. They're. trying to turn losers into winners. They're try they're trying to turn. traitors into heroes. >> Problem is they all keep getting.

arrested. >> all keep getting arrested like that and. the the the dumb stupid homophobic one. that's standing on top of the truck or. whatever it is burning a gay pride flag. How do you tell me you're gay without. saying you're gay? [laughter] You stand. on top of a truck and you burn a gay. pride flag so that you can prove to uh a. woman or somebody or your buddies, "I'm. not gay. Look, I'm burning this flag.". In the meantime, you're waking up in the. you know, in the morning having uh. dreams sexual dreams about the pool boy. that you're trying to repress. I mean,

it's just it's just [ __ ] ridiculous. >> And he. >> [laughter]. >> It's just it's ridiculous. >> It is. >> If you Why why on earth would you be. that homophobic? Why would you be that. and like I don't understand. They say. that in order to be racist like there. has to be some mental illness there. I. truly believe that. I believe in order. to be that homophobic you have there has. to be some sort of mental illness there. Because not only this there is um there. are there are I don't know. how there's homosexuality. in nature.

Not just in humans. >> Penguins. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> And so if you're if you're too dumb. to read a book and understand that, then. perhaps you're not deserving of, you. know, maybe there should be a test to. become like they test immigrants to. become Americans. You have to give a. test. Maybe you have to teach them all. those things before you can say, "Okay, you're a citizen of the United States.". And then if you don't do those things, I. don't know what happens to you, but we. can figure out something. And that would. lead people at least to have some to be. educated somewhat on the issues that.

they they find so, you know, um. that they're so drawn to to discriminate. against people. >> I have a great idea. >> Yes. >> Okay. You know. >> Besides the the semen pond, but go on. >> You know Trump keeps talking on and on. about how he aces his cognitive exams. And Dr. Oz was like, well, he takes a. test all the time cuz he loves nailing. it. And he's always like, "I aced it. Nobody's ever gotten this great of a. score." And then he's also talking about. like he sees a football player and he's. like, "God, he has great thighs.". >> so handsome. He's so handsome. >> it's on and on. So, I have this idea.

We demand that Trump do a cognitive exam. live on TV, and we get to pick the. doctor, right? So, it can't be rigged. >> And we get to pick the the animals that. he has to pick. >> Right. Second one is, I read this. article where these psychologists did a. really, really long study studying. homophobia. >> Mhm. >> And they hooked the penis up to, you. know, electrodes. >> And they showed them, you know, man on. man, woman on woman, man on woman, etc.

The men that identified most as being. homophobic got the most erections when. they watched gay porn. I think it would. be really fun and healing for the. country if we hooked Donald Trump's [ __ ]. up to one of these devices. Now, mind. you, the doctor might have a hard time. finding it per Stormy Daniels, but. that's another PODCAST. >> A PEARL. >> [laughter]. >> OR WOULD IT BE A CATHETER? THEN I NEED. to do it in a. >> Lasers.

>> [laughter]. >> Allegedly. >> We hook it up. And we don't even have to. show him porn. We could show him a. picture of like a woman. And then we. could show him a picture of Zoran. And. then we could him a picture of a woman. Then we could show him a picture of a. football player. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> You know, I just. >> dude. >> I just think but here's the problem. Pumps always points out that she, because of the cankles, she doesn't. think the blood can travel from the. cankles TO THE [laughter] PENIS. SEE, it's always we get off the rails,

but y'all I know y'all love it. I know. your lemon heads over here love it. I. know my eye hipsters love it. It's fun. [laughter] to get off the rails. >> You are out of your mind. I think that. look, it shouldn't surprise you that the. people who are the most homophobic are. getting boners. They're like, "Look, man, I'm not gay. That's why they're like that. I'm not. gay, but you're getting a boner." "I'M. NOT GAY THOUGH.". >> The biggest thing is when they say. homosexuality is a choice and I'm like. then you're choosing to be straight. >> be straight.

>> Okay. I want to go on just briefly. before we close here to talk about. what's happening at 60 Minutes. And we have this uh demonic lesbian. named Bari Weiss who's carrying the. water for the patriarchy. Somehow she. thinks she as a woman, as a lesbian is. going to be safe with all these white. Christian nationalists. She's fired. Scott Pelley who is a serious. investigative journalist and he is like, "Fuck you. I'm not." They asked He. basically said they asked him to uh bias.

and not thoroughly vet stories. >> to insert falsities. >> MAGA [ __ ]. >> Yeah, into his reports. He said and he. said, "I've resisted this all along.". >> Yeah. So, they've had this back and. forth and now Bari's come back out and. she has said the following. "I'm only interested in working in a. newsroom that is built on trust and. mutual respect." So, I want to stop. there real quick. This is the same [ __ ]. that spiked the story about the United. States of America sending um people.

without due process to a. to a concentration camp in El Salvador. There was gay, um, refugee from. Venezuela. who they sent down there who was. sexually raped and abused on American. taxpayer dime. For it So, for her to say. she's only interested in working in a. newsroom that's built on trust and. mutual respect, [ __ ] her for being. complicit in covering up for the United. States government's acquiescence to. putting people with paperwork issues. These are not criminals. When you have a.

deep When you have immigration issues, those are paperwork files. These are not. criminals. And then she says, "We cannot do our. work without it. That foundation was broken and despite. our tips to engage with Scott Pelley and. to find a way back, unfortunately, we. weren't able to do so, and so we had to. part ways. We did not want that to. happen, but that's the path that he. chose.". Don. >> [sighs]. >> The irony is that Bari Weiss owned,

um, a news entity called the Free Press. When the only things she's not doing. anything for the First Amendment or the. free press right now. As a As a As a. matter of fact, as Scott Pelley put it, she is murdering. 60 Minutes and and the news at 60. Minutes. And I believe she is helping to. murder the First Amendment and murder. the freedom of the press. She's She's She's contributing to the. murder. She's killing it. At at least there and helping because.

CBS is Look, um, CBS is a big influence. The people who own CBS have big. influence. They own media companies. And that's going to trickle down. They. may own CNN soon. >> Yep. >> So, I I think that's going to be. problematic and it's it's already. problematic for the information system. for people to be in an information. desert. A lot of people are going to be. in information deserts, uh, if. CNN if they own CNN and now that they. own CBS. Scott Pelley went back. and for instance, for everything that.

she alleged, he went through it and said. this is a lie, this is a lie, this is a. lie. This is what happened. When we went into that meeting, it was um. you were aggressive. You did not want to work anything out. You mentioned firing within the first 15. seconds. There was nothing conciliatory about any. of it. And you lied. And for him to do. something like that, to have the balls. or the guts to do that, to go up against.

a big company like that, especially. someone who has fired you and legally. contractually he may not be able to make. a statement, but he's doing it. I think it takes guts and courage in in. a world of. Barry Weisses. be a Scott Pelley. And. in a world where. people are murdering the First. Amendment, we need more people to stand. up to the Barry Weisses of the world. She's being used. She's being used by the Allisons. She's.

being used by. the Trump administration. She's being. used by Maga. And I believe the moment. that a Democrat gets back in office, whether that's, you know, two and a half. years or however long it is, the moment. that a Democrat gets back in office, these people are going to be trying to. suck up to the Democrats. >> Of course. >> that going to do for your journalistic. integrity, for your credibility, that. you went along with this and now you're. going to have to go the other way. because surely the messaging will change. when there's a Democrat. And I certainly. hope that it does.

>> I do too, and I just want to remind both. of our listeners, the Lemon Heads, if. you don't listen to Don, go subscribe. everywhere, The Don Lemon Show. And of. course you're probably already. subscribed here. >> We're on each other's show every week, so you should watch me one week on your. show, one week on. >> Next week I'm going to be on his. Every. other Friday we're going back and forth. so that we have some tea going into the. weekend. >> though also going into the election. I. do that with you. I also do it with DL. Hughley. Our shows are fire here. But um I. took this morning I did it on my show. with Adam Mockler. I think it's.

important that we do that. >> We collaborate. But, I want to remind. everybody that it we feel powerless and. we feel helpless and Donald Trump is. friends with all these billionaires and. Barry Weiss is I hear lying and this. probably works with her MAGA base. This. doesn't work with you all. It doesn't. work with your listeners. We can all. boycott CBS. They fired Stephen Colbert. because Stephen Colbert hurt Donald. Trump's feelings. We can all boycott CBS. because at the end of the day the only. thing that these people care about is.

money. And Barry Weiss, she may be being. used, but she is a willing participant. in fascism. She is not just a fascist. collaborator. Barry Weiss is a fascist. So, from the morning show all the way. around the clock CBS must be boycotted. >> The only thing I'll tell you about. boycotting and. in some way I agree with you, but as a journalist I think about all. the people who are still there cuz there. are people there who are fighting the. good fight and it's not their fault that. they're doing it that that Barry Weiss. and those guys are doing it. So, it's.

tough for them because they're out of. work. But, they're but they're going to. be out of work anyways. Cuz they're trying to kill it I think. they're trying to kill it and sell it. for parts. I don't I don't know what's. going on. >> If you're a journalist that wants to be. an objective and you care about the. facts, your job is not secure with fascists. >> No, it's not. >> It's just not. This is different than. boycotting something These people are. fascists and we just cannot play patty. cake. >> I've been saying something very similar. because my friend said there are lots of. people who are still there, hundreds of. producers and writers and all this and. they're going to and they want to make. sure that 60 Minutes is the best in CBS.

and I said, "I understand that, but it's. a fait accompli. Those people don't. care. If they cared, they wouldn't be. doing what they're doing and it's. clearly they're doing it to appease. one person, right? Which is Donald Trump. and then the folks below Donald Trump. who are the Ellisons. Clearly they're. doing it that for ideological reasons. This isn't to make news better. This. isn't to to make it more factual. This. isn't for us to have to gain. a commonality about what's real about. reality or not. It's This is not what's.

good for America or good for democracy. What they're doing is objectively bad. for the First Amendment, for democracy, for relations in this this country. between different ethnicities, gay people, straight people, black. people, white people. What they're doing. is bad. They're dividing people and they. are. The number one thing that we should be. concerned about is that the news is. supposed to hold people in power. accountable. It's not supposed to acquiesce or or. bend the knee.

They are not holding the powerful. accountable and that is terrible for. democracy. >> Yeah, because facts and fascism don't. mingle well together. So she is a. propagandist. >> Yeah. >> Don Lemon is the best. Every other Friday on this show. >> Oh my gosh, Kylie, did you find it? >> Did you see that? Look look Okay, there. it is. Where is it? Check it out. >> Oh my. Well, well, well. What do we have here?

I mean Mr. Scott looks smitten, doesn't. he? >> Look at the leg cross. >> I mean, yeah. Doesn't Jesse Waters talk. about only gay men can cross their legs. like that? I think Jesse said that on. Fox Southern Nights. >> Yeah, I Mhm. >> Attention @jessewaters. @greggutfeld, please reply. >> Young man. There's no need to feel down. I said, young man. >> [laughter]. >> The double jerk off. We're taking that song back.

All right, next week, next Friday, I'll. be on Don's show. After that, he'll be. back on my show. Let us know what you. think. Drop comments. Go follow Don. Follow us and we'll see you next Friday. >> [laughter]. >> Mhm.
