🚨 WOW… Trump’s MAJOR MISTAKE BACKFIRES in His Face!

If it holds, it could be a blue blood. bath on Tuesday night and he knows it. And it goes much further than Tuesday. night for him because then he becomes a. real lame duck president. [music]. Welcome to the weekend read, a Welch's. lemonade production. We are election eve. Eve Eve. Don Lemon, are you ready?

>> I am ready. And look, we need to tell. everybody, Jen, that we are their. election headquarters because right now. I'm in Chicago. I'm going to Michigan. this weekend. I'm going to see what I. can if I if I can catch up with Elsad. and then I'm going to Ohio, see if I can. catch up with Amy Actton. And then uh I. have my show, I should say our show on. Tuesday night, right? We're taking over. a sports bar. We're gonna This is a an. election night watch party and Jen is. going to be uh I say the main special. co-host uh joining us and lots of other.

folks. So they need to stay tuned to uh. I've had it podcast and to the Don Lemon. Show for everything they need to know. about the election, Jen, because we're. on it. We're honest and we are not. holding back on this [ __ ]. >> Yeah. So, everybody that subscribed to. I've had it, go over and subscribe to. Don Lemage's channel, and that's where. you can watch live election results, corporate free results. Okay, Don, the. early vote is looking really good, and. I'm cautiously optimistic. Pop this up.

>> More than 43 million Americans have. voted early ahead of the 2026 midterm. elections. in just Texas. They have um. passed the 2022 early vote by 2 million. >> votes. I am ready to go and let's get to. what we do best. I want to now I would. say in in assessing the sexuality of the. president of the United States, we have. had him at likely gay. I'm gonna play a. video for you and and I want to ask you,

does this move him to solidly gay? Play. the clip. right now heading to Ohio to. campaign for a great senator who nobody. knew this one of the best football. players around all [laughter] America. and I told the people they didn't know. this he has a great ass very powerful. ass his shoulders his hands his arms. know what happened that's good that's. good he say are we in the power bottom. phase of this.

[laughter]. >> is that where we've we are now we at the. power bottom face. He just set a very. powerful ass. You know, you don't. usually sh I mean, Jen, cuz I know that. you you know that you say your piece. Uh. oh, I do not I do not need that image in. my head. Um I think we are in some weird. face that phase um where his uh his. homoerotic. um tendencies are coming to four, right?

they're just coming because you know the. older you get the the fewer inhibitions. you have right about just saying things. right and even now my mom says things. and I'm like mom she goes look I'm 80. years old I can say whatever I want okay. fine so but I also think with caution. Jen just as we said cautiously. optimistic I think sometimes he says. these things because he wants to. distract and he knows that we're going. to talk about it then everyone's going. to write about it and he doesn't have to. talk about the horrible gas prices um.

the um uh interest rates, the uh grocery. prices and all the health care, all of. the bad things. So, I think it is not um. what do you what do you say? It's not. it's not mutually exclusive. He can be. in his what are we calling leaning gay? Where what category? >> I think we've gone from likely to solid. with the power bottom review. >> We can solidly gay and also distraction. It can be both. So I Yeah, but just just. know that he's trying to do something. weird. >> I also think it's a really interesting.

closing message um to just keep. hammering this to this this party of. toxic masculinity and they're always. like remember I think it was Homeland. Security or somebody tweeted the other. day fake and gay. I'm like are you. talking about the commander-in-chief. because that's all he talks about is. being fake and gay. >> All right. >> Can I ask you something, Jen? >> Yes, of course. Um, so I have a um a. friend who's like us who's very um uh. outspoken about this and he said I think.

that he might be preparing people for. some sort of compromat that's about to. come out so that they won't be so. shocked. >> Oh god, please please please let it be. true. I will inject inject directly into. my veins while simultaneously snorting. I live I live for Republican gay. scandals. I love them with everything in. me. They are delicious. Please, that let. that be true. Please God, you know I'm. an atheist. I'll be a much better girl. [laughter] Please let this be.

>> You're praying. >> I need this to be true. Well, that's and he's someone in the. know that he believes that it could be. that and likely I'm moving that from. could to likely. [laughter]. >> Okay. So, so Trump has been, you know, he's been acting like a nut. He's been u. telling people to get in shape when his. fat ass is out there running around with. his makeup lines and whatnot. And he's, you know, doing a rally at a high school. gym and then he's canled them all.

Cancelled all the rallies for the. weekend. Now suddenly they're back on. because. >> there are polls coming out in Kansas. that the Democrat is up by like eight. nine points. Here is Roger Roger. Marshall responding to Trump cancelling. their rally in Kansas. Play the clip. >> Any reaction to the president cancelling. the in-person rally this weekend? >> I I'm not I'm not sure sure yet. I think. they think them are doing so well in the. polls that he's got probably got better.

places to spend his time. Um, not sure. >> [ __ ] Anyways, gone. >> Yeah. So, that there's a Washington Post. poll that came out that shows that guy. trailing by nine [laughter] in Kansas. And now Trump has changed his mind and. now all of you know, he's this guy's. such a a nut. Now he's saying. everything's back on. So, pop this up. Caitlyn Collins reported that President. Trump will now hold rallies in Iowa and. Kansas this Sunday. Yeah. Within 12.

hours, Don, we've gone from I'm not. going to do rallies and then everybody. was like, "Oh, he must be in bad shape.". Well, he's so fragile. Do you see how. easy the left goaded him back to do. rallies? >> Think about how Putin and Netanyahu, how. easy it would be to goat him. >> Yeah. Yes. And look, all you have to do. is say he can't handle it, that he's. weak, or that he's uh somehow feeble or. um sleepy or old or whatever, or just. afraid. Look how look how look at what.

Barack Obama did with the Cheesecake. Factory. That really got to him. So, um. here's what I think. I do think after. all these years when he, you know, uh, Joe Biden is sleepy Joe, Joe Biden is. campaigning from a basement, blah blah. blah blah blah, and then him saying that. he's going to get off of the campaign. trail and go do phone interviews or. teleconference interviews or whatever it. is or rallies, it's ridiculous. And for. the Roger Marshall to say that when he's. behind nine points, they know that it's. a lie, but they can't veer away from the.

deer leader. So yeah, I believe Donald. Trump was goated back into it by the. Democrats and by people like us who are. just reporting on it. Honestly, there is. no way Donald Trump built his political. career on unhinged rallies uh and um. unfactual, illogical rallies where he. just spouts off whatever he wants, you. know, saying, "Oh, John Hoostead went up. 12 points after I started talking about. his ass." [ __ ] The polls didn't. change. So, none of it none of it is. true. So, yes, he was goated into it. Um, and if it holds, if it holds, it.

could be a blue blood bath on Tuesday. night. And he knows it. And it goes much. further than Tuesday night for him. because then he becomes a real lame duck. president. Um, I had Alan Lickman on who. said that he has gone from uh he he got. some new information on Kansas that. gives him that puts puts the chances of. winning the Senate at 70% which is.

higher than he had before. So the House. for sure he believes and the Senate 70%. So kumbaya my lord [laughter]. >> I hope so. And I want [snorts] I want. Trump's ass on the campaign trail. He is. our best surrogate. I want him. crisscrossing every rural town and half. filling up high school gymnasiums and. doing all of his gay [ __ ] on repeat. I. think he needs to do 10 rallies a day.

He is our best surrogate. He is our. absolute best. >> We love seeing him out there just doing. that Trump thing. Trump, Donald Trump, you can do it, sir. Go, go, go. >> Maybe there won't be as many protesters. this time, which by the way, that is. something that has been incredible. Did. you see the guy? >> I had him on. Are you talking about the. guy who asked about the Epstein files? >> Yes. >> Yeah, I had him on. He's great. >> He's great. >> Did you also see the guy who was like I. just wanted to see what it was like to.

see a cult up close and personally. [laughter] and straight live on Fox. and he looked kind of MAGA. He was a. MAGA coated looking guy. And then so. they had him standing by and then it was. like a total bait and switch. It was. >> I knew I wasn't old enough in the late. 70s to go to Guyana and the guy was. like, "What?" And he goes, "Yeah, because I it's great to see a a a cult. up close and personal." The guy's like, "No, no, no. [laughter]. >> It was so good." All right, so now we. have Vance, and he is another surrogate.

that is helping the Democrats immensely. And he, this will forever fascinate me. Here's a man who has a wife that is. Indian. He has mixed race kids and he. goes out and he says [ __ ] [snorts] like. this to MAGA. Play the clip. >> We had a one of our kids had a problem. We took him to the emergency room. It. was like totally fine. It was young. parents being panicky as young parents. sometimes are. And I'm sitting there in. the emergency room and there are like.

nine different translators for nine. different languages while I'm worried. about a medical problem that my son has. And I'm just thinking to myself, how. about if everybody spoke English and we. could hire more doctors and less. translators in our country? >> How about if you just mind your own. [ __ ] business and go get some. exfoliator and exfoliate that ratchet. eyeliner off of your eyes? You don't. have to listen, Glattus Kravitz, to what. everybody's saying in the ER. Focus on. your kid. And by the way, your in-laws.

are immigrants. >> I also think he's lying. There were not. nine translators in the ER. That 0% did. not happen. >> It's not nine translators in the ER. And. guess what? Maybe the people speaking. those nine languages are better doctors. Maybe the the hospital or whatever. facility you're going to are actually. basing it on meritocracy and not because. they're cute and blonde. And maybe we. can put them to be the the White House. uh press secretary or maybe they can be. in charge of the Pentagon and the.

Defense Department when they're not. qualified. So, I'm more concerned about. a doctor that is qualified that is. giving me or my child or I don't have a. child or my fur baby if there's a a. veterinarian [laughter]. or my the love of my life Jen Welch that. they're giving them uh great health care. and so okay great if this is the best. person Jen wouldn't you be like bring. the damn translator in this is the best. doctor for this particular thing that. we're talking about bring them in so. what are you worried about that for. especially when you have a wife who is.

from an immigrant family. What What I. don't What is your What is your problem? I ran into this man on the street the. other day who was just flumx and and. flabbergasted. that um that Ted Cruz said what he said. about uh Abdul Elsa, right? About him. being a terrorist and they're going to. need a Donald Trump saying he wanted a. medical metal detector and that uh Ted. Cruz saying that that Elsa was going to. put Americans in jeopardy. And he said,

"What happened to us? What happened to. Americans that were now demonizing. immigrants? Democ immigrants are the. backbone of our economy and our. society." And for JD Vance not to. understand that when he has a when he. has Indian he has brown children. and and his I'm sure his in-laws. probably speak of a different language. as their native tongue. So it it is just. it shows me that he has no convictions.

He has no scruples. He has no morals and. he will do whatever it is that he thinks. is better for him to suck up to Donald. Trump and MAGA. That's it. >> Or I think there's an even worse. scenario. He knows exactly what he's. doing. >> and he intentionally betrays his wife. and kids because he views them as a. liability with the racist MAGA base. So. he makes a point like uh did you see. Vivec Rama Swami out there saying we're. not going to we're not going to turn.

Ohio like Dearbornne Michigan which. famously has a lot of Muslim population. and I'm like VC okay I've been in these. white circles all right if if you're a. white person you've been in circles. where you know the way people are like. VC can be spoken about and it's just. unbelievable to me that he somehow. thinks he's the magic Indian in this. scenario in if you're a token you're. going to get spent first and I think.

that we saw that JD not JD Vance um Elon. Musk fired uh Vivec Rama Swami almost. immediately but it's just amazing to me. how these people go to these white. supremacists these rabid racists and. they think somehow they're going to be. safe somehow they're going to be the. special one. >> um I don't even know what else I can add. to that uh considering um how many how. many Indian American uh people I have.

asked has um Vakwam Swami forgotten that. he is a brown person and I think he has. and I think look I think so many times. over and over he has been told they. don't want him that they don't want. there was someone on the internet. recently and it may have been a lawmaker. who was playing like you know Indian. music like whatever are saying, "Is this. what we want for Ohio?" Like, those. bigots in MAGA, they've told you more than once, more.

than twice, more than three times, more. than four times that they just don't. want you. Look at what happened when, you know, you guys were out touting the. H-1B visas. MAGA lost their minds and. went completely racist. Uh, look at what. happened when you helped to establish. Doge because you were going to cut all. these services and and for people who. needed them. And the first person they. got rid of in Doge was who? became. the brown guy. He was the first person. and look at Anne Coulter. >> Uh I I you said some great things, but I. can't vote for you because you're.

Indian. >> Uh and then it goes I mean there are. many more examples of that. None other. none bigger I believe in this moment is. uh Ohio saying uh no I don't care how. much you um suck up to Donald Trump, suck up to MAGA, put out horrible ads. about Amy Actton and her um her. childhood sex abuse. we don't want you. causing him to double triple down and. then as you know recently he had he. pulled that ad because he realized he is.

losing and I think it's too late. Jen, don't you hope the same thing that. you're praying and you're not a believer. that he just loses by such a huge margin. that he's just so embarrassed that he. doesn't come back. >> Yes. And next Tuesday I [snorts] want to. be a sore winner. I do not want to be a. gracious winner. I want to be a sore. winner. I want to drink maggot tears. I. need it. I want to be the. >> Are you in your Are you in your see you. next Tuesday moment right now? >> I am. I am. I think I have that right. [laughter] here. This says see you next.

Tuesday. And the cu n t is a different. color. Do you see that? [laughter] I am. >> And you know I'm not calling you a. disparaging name. I'm just saying it. just happens. >> I actually think it's a compliment. [laughter]. >> And these are maggoters. [laughter]. Okay, >> mine are a little cloudy, but look look. >> Oh, that looks like a little Welch's. lemonade. I like it. >> Okay, >> mixed with maggoteers. >> I want to talk about the Abdul Elsa race.

because everybody's always like, >> "Okay, do you condemn Hassan [ __ ] Abdul. and all this [ __ ] that's irrelevant, >> but nobody ever asked Mike Rogers who. campaigns with Donald Trump if he. condemns Donald Trump who is a felon, an. adjudicated rapist, um a racist, and all. of these things. Furthermore, they're. trying to pin Abdul Elsiad as being some. sort of um clandestine member of the. Muslim Brotherhood. Well, we did a. [snorts] little digging around here with. uh Ryan and Kylie that do you know who.

the biggest donor and the biggest. finance year of the Mus Muslim. Brotherhood is? Qatar. >> Oh, wait. Yeah, Qatar. But someone else. funded. >> and you know who who gave a $400 million. bribe plane to Donald Trump? Qatar. >> Qatari. Yeah. >> Yeah. So, the call is always coming from. inside the house, but here is Abdul. responding to Trump's racism. Play the. clip. >> He He said He said that I should have to. go through a metal detector.

>> That's all right, man. He took that. Wolverine thing seriously. He knows I. got claws. [screaming]. But here's the deal, Donald. Listen. I'll go through a metal detector if. you'll sit for a lie detector. [cheering]. >> Simple. >> I got nothing to hide. You've got so.

much to hide. My first question, Epstein. [laughter]. Ah, [sighs]. >> second question. Did you win the 2020. election? [laughter]. >> And you know what I think? I think. >> so good. >> He's so good. And I also want a. televised cognitive test cuz you know. he's victim. >> Mhm. I want to see it on [laughter] live.

on TV. >> All right. Yeah. Uh, what was it? something horse, camel, rhino, some. camera TV. Oh god, I would love to see. that. You should say, "My god, you ace. so many cognitive tests. Why don't you. take one live on TV? That would be. great." Yeah. Lie detector test, too. I'd love it. He's good. >> He. >> They're so scared of him. >> They are so scared of him. What do you. think? I saw that Cy Booker's in the. lineup for our uh for your um election.

day and I don't know if you saw. yesterday Cy Booker that he was asked. about Abdul and he was he will not. endorse him. He will not just boldly. endorse him. >> Well, we'll have to talk to him. >> You got to talk to about it. >> Of course. I mean, he's not one of he's. not one of the co-hosts. He's a guest. like any other political guest that we. have on, right? And. >> so, yeah, we're going to have to we'll. have to ask him about that. Um, look, there look, let's just be honest about.

this. Um, I looked at the. uh campaign, the rally in Georgia. earlier this week, and I saw Barack. Obama fine as hell, right? Let's just be. honest, right? >> 100%. And then I saw And then I saw John. Oaf fine and good-looking as hell. >> Totally. >> And then Kesha Lance Bottoms came out. Just gorgeous, beautiful specimen of a. woman. Just fine as hell.

>> And then I went over and I looked at. Michigan. >> Elsa is a is a hunk of a man. Don't you. think Elsa is a good-looking man? >> Not only that, he is brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant. So I'm looking at. this. I'm looking at um Michigan, the. rallies there with Elsa and and Obama. and then Georgia with uh Assaf and and. Kesha and Obama and I'm like, "Wow, look. at these beautiful intelligent just. great people." And then we went to Ohio. with Donald Trump and I like it just.

went downhill. It was gross. >> Did you talking about people? Yeah. [laughter]. turtle. Turtle. It was a turtle. And. [laughter] so, and so [laughter]. I just said, "Look at it's just it. that's not even comparable in this. moment. It's just talking points about.

um terrorism, Muslims, uh Democrats, asses, penises, muscles, hands, feet.". It's like, what are you talking about? And then you have uh Elsa talking about. healthcare. You got Obama uh um um what. do you call it? Uh just trolling him. with the the um the the cheesecake. factory. And then you have, you know, um. Osaf just talking about what he's going. to do for Georgia. And they're not. they're just the complete opposite. Not.

only are they not as attractive, they're. not as smart. And I don't believe that. they're willing and wanting to help the. American people as much as a Democratic. side right now. >> I agree. And you mentioned the. Cheesecake Factory and um [snorts] the. demon queen Scott Bessant staged a press. conference at the Cheesecake Factory. this week. Um let's play the clip. >> Hi, Mr. Secretary. It's an interesting. lunch choice today. What did you order. for the Cheesecake Factory? >> Oh, I have what I always had. The the. French dip cheeseburger.

>> Excellent. And so recent news, we've got. former President Obama comparing White. House decorations or construction to uh. the Cheesecake Factory, saying it looks. like Saddam Hussein opens the Cheesecake. Factory. Any reaction to that? >> Well, two things. This is the man who. built the the museum. It looks like. Darth Bader's tomb. And I would just. tell the I had a great meal. Always have. a great meal. And I would tell the. Marthur's Vineyard set to give it a try. >> Okay. Number [clears throat] one, that.

whole thing was scripted and staged. It. was as obvious as all get out. It you. could tell the reporter had it. They had. it. That was a total agreed on. It was. 100% a setup. >> Scott Bessant, no more goes to the. Cheesecake Factory on a regular basis. than than Donald Trump does, okay? Which. is zero. And I loved Obama when he just. he will double down with these people. And he goes, "Did you notice they didn't. even get upset about the corruption I.

talked about? They didn't get upset that. I compared him to Saddam Hussein. They. the he he mobilized the entire. administration to this Cheesecake. Factory joke because this is all they're. intellectually capable of. And so they. they they are only intellectually. capable of going to BA for the. Cheesecake Factory, which by the way, what the first one was in Beverly Hills. and um it's really quite expensive. I'm. not a huge fan because the menu is too. big for me. I think if you try to do all. all different types of food, you're.

probably not good at one thing. But. nonetheless, I mean, no shade to the. Cheesecake Factory, but the interior. design there is very much Trumpian. >> Okay, let me tell you this. Let me just. say this. Um, one, [snorts]. Scott Besson is a gay man. He should. have a better idea of design than that. He should have a better handle. First of. all, I don't believe that he's ever. eaten at the Cheesecake Factory, not. some place that he frequents. Okay? So, let's not pretend he's a half a. billionaire. So, come on. And the thing.

is, too, that people in there saying, "Oh, he's he's disparaging the. Cheesecake Factory." First of all, the. Cheesecake Factory is not a it's not a. cheap place, right? It's not some place. that you go that's cheap. and it is. designed like a restaurant. And what I. see Obama saying is that the White House. should not look like a restaurant uh. that Saddam Hussein uh you know. decorated and and is turning into a. place for a a world leader to live. That's what I hear saying. And so and. and so I think Scott Bent should is well.

aware of that. But I don't believe that. he's ever eaten at the Cheesecake. Factory. Maybe, you know, uh maybe once. or twice. I don't know. I just don't. believe it. And I I do think that it was. set up, but Scott Bent should have a. better sense of design. Um, especially. as a gay man, he should know. He should. know what bad do design and bad taste. is. And look, am I stereotyping gay men? Yes. >> Pull his card. Pull his card. >> We got to take him. We got to take the. card. >> You got to take his card. Uh-uh. Send. him back to the straits. I'm sorry. He.

He should have no gay privileges, that. man. >> Yeah. Yeah. And look, when I when I saw. him coming out, I looked at the design. on the Cheesecake Factory and I said, "It's not it's not a bad design. It's. just I I just wouldn't want it in my. house. I wouldn't want the White House. to look like that." You know what I'm. saying? And um so I think this it's just. a bridge too far. They're being too cute. by half with that Obama's disparaging. the Cheesecake Factory. And he said, "I. spent so many so much time at the. Cheesecake Factory and Chuck-E-Cheese. and California Pizza when the girls were. young." And he goes, "These aren't cheap. places.".

>> Yeah, >> I know that. Right. But I just don't. think that the White House should look. like that. And and everybody knows that. that's the truth. Look at the White. House. >> It I mean, >> it's a Liberace [ __ ] show of the highest. order. >> What do I call it? The White House Hill. >> Disaster. Yeah. It's. >> It's like the Beverly Hill. >> Goodbye to Jud and all his kids. >> Ken. Yeah. The cement pond. [laughter]. I'm putting in a new cement pond in the. White House and we're going to put on. the the concrete whirly bird pad. It's.

like, "Oh, Jesus, give me." All right. So, I love One of my favorite things. >> I love you. >> Thank you. One of my favorite things is. when Trump humiliates uh the MAGA man to. their faces and they just sit there and. they they take it. You can tell they. enjoy it. Like the humiliation kink. So, he recently had a rally in Texas and he. was sitting there talking about of. course John Hustid's ass, which now we. have elevated to a power bottom of the. clip that we started out with. So the. power bottom ass it was he was talking.

about John H's ass and he said and I. would talk about Ken Paxton but I'm. sorry Ken you don't have the physique. for this Ken Paxton's just sitting there. smiling and laughing right then lion Ted. Cruz is at the same rally and Trump goes. yeah you know what we're going to do. with Ted we're going to send him to the. Supreme Court and all the Democrats will. vote for him because they all hate him. and all the Republicans are going to. vote for him because they all hate him. Ted Cruz is the biggest massochist on. the planet. He stands up after Trump.

said everybody hates him in DC. He stood. up, waved to the pre president like a. godamn pageant queen. Waved at the. [laughter] crowd and smiled with his big. old gut. And he just he loved it. He. stood there and he was like, "Give me. more. Humiliate me [clears throat]. more." So Ken Paxton is faceplanting and. it's beautiful. And there's a Ken Paxton. surrogate that is begging people not to. leave his rally. Play the. >> Oh. Oh, wow. I haven't seen this.

>> And the reason why that is because I. don't want the media to turn it in. saying that people don't like Ken. Paxton. Well, it's not our fault that we. have jobs we got to do in the morning. I'm sorry. >> I said, "Do me a favor. Please don't. leave." That's how he started it. >> And it's not our fault that we have job. Oh, please don't leave cuz we don't want. people saying so he's saying that people. are leaving because they have jobs. When. is that when does that ever become an. excuse for somebody to leave a rally? Because if you love the person then.

you're going to be there. You're going. to stay and you're going to watch. And. so what like wow and Ken Paxton now too. I don't know. You You mentioned, Jen, uh. that the rallies are back on for Donald. Trump, but Ken Paxton also canceled a. rally. Is is that rally back on for him? I don't know the answer to that. >> I'll have them look it up. Ryan says, "No, it's not back on. It's still. canceled as of as of Friday midm. morninging this.". >> Okay, >> there's your answer. >> Let's move on to uh Darlene.

>> Darling, >> can we please? I have so much to say. about this, Jen. Go, but go ahead. Here's Darlene Graham trying to channel. her inner badass. Let's play the clip. >> I don't know about you, but I will not. allow the liberals and socialists to. turn South Carolina blue. >> You know what? They can just kiss my. ass.

>> Kiss my grits. >> And then she goes back. >> Look at me. They can just kick kiss my. ass. Oh, I am [ __ ] shaking in my. boots, Darlene. This Democrat socialist. libtard. I am scared to [ __ ] death of. Darlene Graham. What a threat that is. Aren't you shaking in your boots? >> Oh, I'm so scared. Let me just talk to. you like I had a conversation with the. folks at in my orbit that I had earlier. this week about this. >> because uh the story that you did and I.

did [clears throat]. on uh Lindsey Graham and the uh sex. worker saying you know alleging that he. did whatever and they said well I don't. know why the someone said I don't know. why the reporters are asking her about. it because she doesn't know they should. just leave they should leave her alone. Jesus said, "No, she she she stepped in. and she had to step into her brother's. seat." And I said, "Wait a damn minute.". She stepped into the arena. And then I.

said very, because I'm talking to my. folks, I said, "Y'all be falling for. this [ __ ] about Darlene Graham is. just a little old lady who doesn't know. what she's doing and she's out here. trying to do the best for her brother.". Of course, she is in her brother's seat. And if you are going to get a response. for any story that has to do with her. brother or the state of South Carolina. or whatever it is, who are you going to. call? You're going to call Lindsey. Graham's office. What is Lindsey. Graham's office? It's now Darlene's. office. If you call anybody from a. statement for a statement, you go.

straight to the source. And fortunately. or unfortunately for her, that's her and. Lindsey Graham's staff who she has now. and Lindsey Graham's old seat that she. did not uh she was she's not elected to. do. She was given that position. And if. she's given that position, then she. assumes all the responsibilities that. come along with that position. So for. the people who are saying, "Darlene. Graham, cut her some slack. She doesn't. know about she's not a politician." I. say, "F that. She stepped into the arena.

willingly. She's a grown ass woman and. if people have questions about it, they. should be able she should be able to. answer for it. They threw someone out. for asking out of a press conference for. asking about it. She should have an. answer for it. Her staff should have an. answer for it and they should not be. throwing people out of rallies. So this. oh uh I'm just a doawling old lady thing. after she said that kiss my ass. I was. like don't be falling for that [ __ ]. because that is the real Darling Graham. And guess what? I want to know if her. policies are the same as her brother's.

policies. Her her stance on same-sex. marriage and gay and LGBTQ issues, if. it's the same as her brothers, what is. she going to do if she steps into that. seat for those issues and others? So, everything that you would ask Lindsey. Graham about running for office or in. that position, you should be asking. Darlene Graham about it as well. I'll. get off of my high horse now. >> I love it. And I think we should also. also ask Darlene Gran, do you want to. continue your brother's tradition of.

hiring Renaboys? Darlene, are you doing. same? Are you also [snorts] a um sub in. these scenarios? Is that what excites. you most? But here's what I'm going to. take it further. I think every person in. the US Senate should be asked about. Lindsey Graham because this is a. national security risk. If a United. States senator has a huge secret like. this, it's safe to assume that MSAD and. the Russians, etc., know about this. Lindsey Graham was laser focused on.

helping the Benjamin Netanyahu. government more than he was the people. of South Carolina. It has been rumored. in political circles forever that people. have compromant on Lady Graham. I think. these issues as juicy as they are, if. there are senators that are on uh these. committees of foreign relation. committees and they are uh constantly. flying over to Israel and putting the. needs of Benjamin Netanyahu over the.

needs of the taxpayers, it is a. reasonable question whether the person. alive or dead or Russia to to launch an. investigation. which agency, foreign. agencies knew about this and were they. holding this information? Furthermore, >> Donald [clears throat] Trump learned. from Roy Conn to gather compromising. information and to blackmail people. This was a part of his training. Did. David Pecker at the National Enquir? Did. somebody catch and kill one of these. stories? And Donald Trump said, "Listen.

up, Lindsay. No more I love John McCain, I'm a maverick [ __ ] You vote with. me and you advocate for me or I'm outing. you." And these are not that far-fetched. of of scenarios. This is we're in this. we're in this stage of this fascist. takeover right now. If you have a. closeted senator, a person who chose a. public life and they have this secret. where they're, you know, hiring sex. workers and and you know, doing gay. stuff at night all the time and then.

you're going to vote and you're voting. for, you know, straight marriage and all. this other cockami [ __ ] It's never. going to make Lindsey Graham straight. ever. It's never going to do anything. but just marginalize people. This is a. national security risk. So, not only. should Darlene Swatface Graham be asked. this all the time, [laughter]. every single United States senator. should be asked about it. And there. needs to be a post-mortem investigation. who all knew and was Lady Graham being.

compromised and blackmailed. >> I have I don't have anything to add to. that. I just I think that you're right. because it is a national security issue. And the thing that gets me is that um. when I ask people, you know, why um like. they say, why why didn't this things. like this, you know, the the sex worker. thing, why didn't it come out when he. was alive? They tried and news. organizations, corporate news. organizations wouldn't do it, right? And. so finally, >> where did the ladybug thing come from? >> Yeah. They wouldn't do it. And then now,

um, you know, we've had a an independent. news organization do the research, do. their homework, and put it out there. And, um, so I I I when people say he's. not he's not alive to defend himself, that's not an excuse for me not to cover. this story because it is about, um, national security. And you're right, everyone, lawmakers, Republican. lawmakers, I think the Senate and the. Congress should have to answer for it, including the White House. >> I think Little Moses might grinder. Johnson, I'd like to grill him over it. for a while. I mean, I really I.

genuinely would enjoy it. I think my. heart rate may even go up a little bit. when I did it. >> Well, the thing for me is that they. think like, "Oh my gosh, it's so you're. disparaging him by saying that he's. gay." No, that's being gay is not. anything that is disparaging. There's. nothing wrong with being gay. What's. wrong. is hypocrisy. And um if you are. implementing laws that are detrimental. to the LGBTQ plus community and you are. part of that community, that's. hypocrisy. What's wrong is um you know. you doing that and being a hypocrite.

That's what's wrong. But there's nothing. wrong with being gay. And there's. nothing I believe slanderous or lialous. about saying that because if someone. said I think we've we've talked about. this before. Hey Don, >> you're straight. I'd be LIKE I'M SUING. YOU. OH MY GOSH. YOU CALLED ME STRAIGHT. It's like no no I'm not. I'm not. straight. I'm gay. Proud gay man. Next. question. >> Yeah. Yeah. And the the pro the. situation is we don't think any there's. anything wrong with being gay. But. Lindsey Graham at work sure as [ __ ].

voted as though there was something. wrong with being gay. And then it's you. know asking for these Rena boys to. disparage him. And the more he was. disparaged the harder he got. That's a. direct question the documentary. [laughter]. >> That's that's what the sex worker said. I know these aren't pleasant things to. think about, but it is it is relevant. when somebody goes and votes all day. And there was lots and lots of video. footage of Lady Graham speaking. explicitly about gay marriage and. talking about how it was wrong and all.

of this crazy stuff. I mean, just crazy. right-winger [ __ ] And then you find out. what he's doing at night that is. relevant. Hypocrisy in our leaders is. newsworthy. And if it's about gay sex or. if it's about whatever it is about, whatever the hypocrisy is, it would be. like if you found out that some. right-wing uh female politician that's. voting all this anti-abortion stuff had. had a couple of abortions before. That. is relevant. These things are relevant. because we need to elect people that are.

interested in transparency, that are. fine with transparency, that uh you I. mean we all know this, but Rihanna, I'm. going to close out. Rihanna has entered. the chat. Pop this up. Rihanna blames. nonvoters for Trump's second term win in. response to Joy Reed's claim that he is. what America deserves. And believe it or. not, those who didn't vote at all also. did this. And so Rihanna commented on.

Joy there and said that and that's what. Rihanna's correct that the sofa is what. beat Kamala that our base didn't show. out strongly enough in the numbers that. we needed. But I love how engaged. Rihanna is in politics. Uh yeah, and I'm s I'm actually. surprised that um she went there. pleasantly surprised because you know. Rihanna is not from uh originally from. America and so many people are afraid if.

you're especially if you're an immigrant. in this country to even speak out on. politics. So I commend her and I don't. think that she's wrong. There was a lot. of apathy um you know during the 2024. election which could have you know which. I think not could have I think led to. Kla Harris's defeat and we can't have. that apathy in this moment. >> All right final question. I asked you an. October day in New York City in 2024. [snorts] Is Kamla going to win? And you. looked at me [clears throat] and you. grabbed both grabbed me by the shoulders.

because you knew it was going to be a. blow and you said Trump's going to win. And I was like, "Fuck." And you were. right. But I would I didn't want to. believe you. I thought you were just. you'd been running around with MAGA. doing your man on the street in MAGA. places. And I was still in immediately. went into denial. So I'm asking you, is. it going to be a blue tsunami on. Tuesday? And are we going to take both. the House and the Senate? >> I think it's going to be a uh a blue. win. I don't know if it's going to be a. tsunami or um you know, a wave. I think.

more of a wave. I would say more of a. wave than a tsunami. And um. >> leaning wave, not solid wave, but. leaning wave. >> Yeah, a leaning wave. It's It's not like. it does it's not like a big giant crest. where you get thrown under the surf and. you're like, "Oh shit." Uh but I think. it's going to be big enough to scare the. beebas. uh out of Donald Trump and the. Republicans and they're afraid now. But. it's only going to work as if people are. motivated and go out. Um, so, uh, I am,

uh, I'm more confident this time. And. I'll tell you, because you mentioned my. man on the streets, I do hear Trump, not. nearly as much as I had been before, Jen. And, um, and all of these numbers. from around the country uh, for early. voting leads me to believe that um, there we're going to have a blue um, cresting of the sort. It could be, what. do you what do you call it when um, shoots, what do they call it? uh what. high tide or or. >> oh the the surge [laughter] it's the.

storm surge that does the thing. So I. think it's going to be like it'll be a. flood and then the surge will come and. we'll be like wow this is great but um. well I do think it's going to be uh I do. think that we might have an early night. >> Oh my god. I hope so because you know I. love an early bedtime. >> I know. That's why I was like, Jen, I. said if we ask Jyn to come on and she. agrees we got to get her butt out of. here early cuz she likes to go to bed. Can I show you one thing before we go? >> Oh my gosh. And then Okay, so don't.

freak out. And Kylie, don't freak out. because I'm going to do something a. little bit unorthodox for uh our weekend. read. And I'm going to show you. something because I am here in Chicago. and uh I just want to show you and I. hope this doesn't Do you see outside of. my window right here? I don't know if. you can see. I hopefully this doesn't. hang on. [laughter]. >> Are you drinking again? Here we go. Are. you No, I'm not drinking again. Are you. ready for this? Are you ready? Are you. ready? Look at this. Look at this. Do. you see that? [gasps]. >> Oh my god. The Trump Tower.

It's a. beautiful city. Uh, and I I lived here. for 3 years. This building is so tacky and it is so. outside of the bounds of what I usually. see Chicago's great architecture and. those big ass and not just because it's. his name. It could be anybody's name on.

there. It could be Lemon on there. And I. would go, "Oh my god, what? Who did that. tacky shit?" And so I I almost like had. to get change rooms and said, "Put me on. the other side of the hotel." But I. said, "No, no, no, no. This is inspiring. and motivating." I mean, did you see. that? Do you like You're an interior. designer. You're. >> Come on, tell me. What do you think? >> It's Everything he does is tacky. But. I'm with you. I would say I want the. enemy [snorts] right across. And I'm. going to sit here and drink my haterade. and just hate on him all [ __ ] my whole.

[ __ ] stay. And I I don't believe in. any of this [ __ ] but I'm going to. voodoo manifest. I'm going to do all. this [ __ ] because I want to be a sore. winner on Tuesday.
