of their million-dollar triple lock protection.
00:00:34.880
has gone viral after making fun of a disabled man
00:00:40.240
Because we in these hot-ass Texas streets, honey.

Y'all know we got Governor Hot Wheels down there.
00:02:47.740
everything they offer is 100% American sourced.
00:17:04.500
But let's go further. Even if you say that North America really should only belong to the Native
00:17:08.940
Americans, do the Comanche have any business in Apache territory? The Apache certainly wouldn't
00:17:13.760
say that they do. What is the principle? Yes, people move around. Nations grow. People colonize
00:17:21.480
certain territories. People visit and explore and settle certain territories. Is the principle just
00:17:26.500
that if you're white, it's okay for you to be murdered? It's okay for your national politicians
00:17:30.460
to say, shoot the bower, kill the farmer, shoot to kill, bruh, bruh, bruh. No, as a matter of
00:17:36.440
justice, it's a very good thing to offer refuge to these people. But why should we offer refuge to
00:17:42.920
the South Africans who are being directly threatened with genocide by their national leaders when we
00:17:47.900
don't want to take an unlimited number of face-tattooed Venezuelans across our southern border?
00:17:53.040
Well, a couple of reasons. One, the Venezuelans who are coming across the southern border are
00:17:57.120
economic migrants almost entirely. And the ones who aren't economic migrants are working for cartels.
00:18:04.360
So that would be one reason why they're not really seeking political refuge the vast majority of the
00:18:08.980
time. And because, and this gets to our conversations about the commonwealth, this gets to our
00:18:15.640
conversations about Western civilization, we have a common heritage with the Afrikaners.
00:18:22.340
The Afrikaners, just the white people broadly in South Africa, are descendants of the Dutch and the
00:18:30.980
English. And we're descendants of the English. And in a way, we're sort of descendants of the Dutch
00:18:35.760
because the pilgrims who sailed on the Mayflower actually spent a lot of time in Leiden in the
00:18:39.560
Netherlands, but that's a kind of digression. But we have a common heritage here. And we were
00:18:46.140
talking about the Ordo Amoris a few weeks ago with J.D. Vance, hierarchy of love, the kind of order of
00:18:52.220
charity that tells us that we have responsibility to those who are close to us. Well, you know, at the
00:18:57.560
very least, when our cousins, descendants from the motherland, when our cousins are being threatened
00:19:04.780
with actual genocide and with serious murders and rapes being carried out, maybe we can offer the
00:19:10.640
handful of them refuge. That's not a strictly hyper-nationalist view of things. It's not a
00:19:17.560
strictly imperial view of things. It's not a strictly universalist view of things. It's not a strictly
00:19:22.540
tribal view of things. It's just, I don't know, seems just prudent and just to me. Speaking of protecting
00:19:29.200
the vulnerable, great news. Exclusive from the Wall Street Journal, care of the Trump administration,
00:19:36.720
Trump is going to defund Planned Parenthood. Tens of millions of dollars in federal funding for
00:19:42.220
Planned Parenthood and other groups would be cut off while the administration examines their DEI
00:19:47.300
efforts. So the excuse to defund Planned Parenthood here is that Planned Parenthood has DEI policies.
00:19:54.900
It's just kind of funny because to me, the problem with Planned Parenthood is the infanticide,
00:20:00.120
the mass infanticide of a million babies a year or thereabouts. But whatever, any way that we can
00:20:05.400
defund them is fine by me. I don't care what the excuse is. It does remind me of that Norm
00:20:08.860
McDonald joke though, where he says, yeah, everyone is saying that the problem with Bill Cosby was the
00:20:12.600
hypocrisy. But I don't know that. I think that was the biggest problem. I think the biggest problem
00:20:16.120
was all the raping. So that's how I feel about Planned Parenthood. But yeah, DEI is bad too. And in any
00:20:21.620
case, tens of millions of dollars that would have gone toward murdering babies because money is
00:20:28.160
fungible. So even if the federal government says, don't use this money for the baby murdering, which
00:20:32.200
is essentially your entire business, just use this money to keep the lights on. Just use this money to
00:20:37.540
pay the rent. Just use this money to repave the parking lot, but use your other money for the
00:20:43.000
abortions. Well, that doesn't mean anything because money is fungible. So if you give any dollar,
00:20:46.600
one red cent to Planned Parenthood, that money is being used to murder babies. And the Trump
00:20:52.700
administration is saying, no, furthermore, maybe even better news. Trump was asked by a reporter
00:20:59.220
whether or not he's going to take a particular look into Planned Parenthood because Planned Parenthood
00:21:04.260
has been caught on camera admitting to selling baby body parts to the highest bidder. And that is
00:21:10.920
illegal. But instead of prosecuting Planned Parenthood for illegally selling human organs,
00:21:15.700
the liberal prosecutors decided to prosecute, the conservative journalists who exposed it.
00:21:21.800
So Trump was asked about this. Here's his answer.
00:21:24.740
I just want to follow up on that. If Planned Parenthood is defunded, would you look into
00:21:31.160
the harvesting of baby organs that they've done throughout the years and maybe go after some
00:21:37.900
criminal prosecution on that? Well, I think you're talking about a subject that is a heated subject.
00:21:43.060
Okay. And we'll look into it. We're going to look into everything, but that's certainly a subject
00:21:48.380
that's been debated for a long time and we will look into it. Yeah.
00:21:52.800
Okay. So some pro-lifers are not going to be satisfied with this. This actually makes me feel
00:21:56.900
quite good because you see Trump, he says, look, I don't want to really get into the baby body parts
00:22:02.140
and whether this, I know it's a hot subject. I don't want to hit, I'm defunding Planned Parenthood,
00:22:05.660
folks. All right. I'm giving you, but I'm going to talk about it in a way that might
00:22:09.860
mollify all sorts of people. This is very Trumpy. It's why during the campaign, when Trump seemed in
00:22:15.820
his rhetoric, like he was going soft on abortion, I didn't worry too much about it because I pay
00:22:20.300
attention to what Trump does, not only to what Trump says. And when I saw what Trump did as
00:22:25.680
president, when I saw he was the most pro-life president in American history, when I saw that
00:22:30.500
he appointed the judges who overruled Roe v. Wade, when I saw that he was the first sitting
00:22:34.320
president to attend the March for Life. And when Trump on the campaign trail said, look, just remember,
00:22:39.280
we got to win elections. That's why I'm not being so hard on Planned Parenthood and the
00:22:43.220
abortion industry. Now, I decided that I would give him a little grace because he had a rather
00:22:48.920
good proven track record. Same thing here. When he says vaguely, we'll look into it, but I know it's
00:22:53.740
hotly debated, but we'll look into it in any way. It's a contentious subject. I don't pull my hair
00:22:59.280
out over that because one, I know Trump has hardcore pro-lifers all around him in the White House.
00:23:03.820
And if given even the slightest, faintest green light to investigate Planned Parenthood,
00:23:09.260
they will. And two, he's got a good record on this. So if he wants to be moderate in his speech
00:23:16.060
and hardcore in his policy and his investigations, all the better. And this is a really important one
00:23:22.060
because this goes back to what, 10 years now or something? When you have great, courageous pro-life
00:23:29.520
journalists going and proving that Planned Parenthood is breaking the law in a particularly
00:23:33.040
heinous way. And then they're the ones who are persecuted for it. There's so much more to say

00:24:56.500
President Trump has just ordered another major declassification. I'm not talking about the JFK
00:25:02.280
files. I'm not talking about the MLK files. I'm talking about something much, much more important.
00:25:08.440
The declassification of all the Russia hoax files.
00:25:12.440
We have a presidential memorandum for your attention. This memorandum requires the immediate
00:25:18.160
declassification of all FBI files relating to the Crossfire Hurricane investigation. This was
00:25:23.880
obviously one of the instances of the weaponization of law enforcement, powers of prosecution against
00:25:29.100
you and others. We believe that it's long past time for the American people to have a full and
00:25:33.960
complete understanding of what exactly is in those files. Which gives the media the right to go in and
00:25:40.280
go and check it. You probably won't bother because you're not going to like what you see.
00:25:45.460
But this was total weaponization. It's a disgrace. It never happened in this country.
00:25:50.320
But now you'll be able to see for yourselves all declassified. Is that correct? Would you say?
00:25:56.680
All declassified? Yes, sir. Everything? The FBI filed with a, there's a classified annex. But other than
00:26:02.740
that, this will put everything in the public eye. Is anybody going to look? And frankly, the FBI
00:26:19.920
should be ashamed of themselves. And so should the Department of Justice. And so should Biden.
00:26:26.680
Before we get to the significance, this is Trump being a rock star. Okay? This performance,
00:26:37.040
he gets the guy, he gets the opening act to discuss what the executive order does. And then Trump does
00:26:42.640
all the crowd work. This is Freddie Mercury at Live Aid. Okay? This is Trump goes out, he goes,
00:26:46.720
da-da-da-da. And then the whole crowd goes, da-da-da-da. Da-da-dee-da-da-do-do-do-do.
00:26:51.000
And they all, he's just got him wrapped around his fingers. So you hear the introduction. Yes,
00:26:57.580
they'll investigate the Russia investigation and how there was impropriety at the FBI and the DOJ.
00:27:03.540
Okay, hold on. Wait. You declassifying the files? Yes, sir. All of the files? Yes,
00:27:09.100
all of the files. So they're going to see everything? We're going to see everything,
00:27:12.900
sir. You're going to investigate the files? Yes, that's right. But you probably won't.
00:27:17.000
He's just, he's just, this is like watching a Yo-Yo Ma play the cello. You know, watching Trump
00:27:26.840
work a crowd is like, is like watching a maestro with his instrument. And this is more significant.
00:27:35.340
There's a reason why he's dragging this out, taking all the pauses. Are you going to look?
00:27:40.160
Are you good? Come on, take a picture. You hear me one last time, I declassified them. Because
00:27:45.640
the Russia files, the Russia hoax files from the DOJ and the FBI are much more significant
00:27:52.360
than the JFK files and the MLK files. I told you, I predicted to you that the JFK files would reveal
00:27:59.860
no new significant information. And there were many people, many obsessives who have some acts to grind
00:28:07.840
with alternately the CIA or the state of Israel or the mob or George Bush or Lyndon Johnson or whoever
00:28:17.700
you think. I'm not even saying that there wasn't a conspiracy to kill JFK. There obviously was some
00:28:21.780
kind of conspiracy to kill JFK. But what I predicted was those files would not unveil any significant new
00:28:30.420
information. And I have thus far been proven completely right. And all of the people who criticized me for
00:28:38.320
pointing out that the JFK files would reveal no new significant information, they've all come up completely
00:28:43.400
empty. They got nothing. Occasionally, they'll say, hey, here's a file that mentions the CIA. Here's a file that
00:28:52.280
mentions Mossad or LBJ or George Bush or whatever. But they don't, it doesn't show anything. There's nothing new.
00:28:58.420
Because, as I stated at the time, if there really were some smoking gun that revealed the real story
00:29:09.260
of how JFK were murdered, that file would have been lost a long time ago. Or even if the government,
00:29:16.280
if our government were so evil that it were covering this up for 60 years and then ignoring federal
00:29:20.180
disclosure laws for 33 years, then our government isn't just going to reveal it now. You would have to
00:29:26.800
be real thick in the head to think that that would happen. Same thing for the MLK files. Who really
00:29:34.020
killed them? Was it the CIA? Was it this? Was it that? I don't know. The one thing I know for a fact
00:29:39.240
is you will never know. The Russia files are different. The Russia hoax was not just within
00:29:46.180
living memory. The Russia hoax was seven years ago, eight years ago. I guess it started all the way back
00:29:53.780
10 years ago. The players who perpetrated the Russia hoax are still alive. Many of them are
00:30:00.220
still working for the FBI and DOJ. There just, it hasn't been enough time for a real coverup of that.
00:30:06.260
So the faster you can declassify these files, the faster the Trump administration can move
00:30:11.240
to prosecute people, the more likely that they're actually, they're actually going to get a scalp
00:30:16.000
from someone who committed really, really bad things. That's what's so beautiful about this.
00:30:22.520
And it's really important because what happened in 2015 and 2016 was that the bureaucracy and the
00:30:28.060
deep state tried to preempt the election of someone they didn't like. Then once that guy was elected,
00:30:35.080
they tried to totally destroy his presidency. In a similar way that we saw with the coup d'etat that
00:30:42.300
upended Richard Nixon and his massive reelection in, in 1972. But in some ways it was worse from
00:30:50.460
Trump because Trump really committed no crime, nothing that he could even be plausibly called a
00:30:55.120
crime. It is not just a matter of personal vengeance to go get these guys. It's a matter of,
00:31:01.760
of preserving the integrity of our political order. So glad that Trump did it. So the Dems have
00:31:07.440
nothing. How can they hit Trump? How can they hit Trump? What they're trying to say now they're
00:31:12.820
trying to glom onto is this signal chat. We covered it yesterday on the show, the boys chat that governs
00:31:17.840
our country that had JD Vance and, uh, Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense and Mike Waltz,
00:31:25.320
the national security advisor, John Ratcliffe, the head of the CIA, number of top administration
00:31:30.840
officials and the editor of the Atlantic magazine. They apparently accidentally included this liberal
00:31:38.200
journalist and it's embarrassing. It shouldn't have happened. Didn't really affect anything. It
00:31:45.740
didn't affect the, uh, military conduct of the United States. It didn't, no one's life was at risk.
00:31:50.840
It didn't really create any problems at all. But now the Democrats are sending some of their top
00:31:55.660
flags on TV to say that this was the greatest national security blunder in living memory.
00:32:02.320
It's stunning. Uh, it's likely the biggest national security debacle that any professional can
00:32:09.720
remember. Um, let me explain a bit why this is so crazy. First of all, national security advisors
00:32:17.840
convene what is called the national security principles completing it. This is the cabinet level
00:32:22.500
group that, uh, makes the most important decisions and recommendations to the president on national
00:32:28.260
security. It's all those people, uh, that are on that chat, the secretary of state, secretary of defense,
00:32:34.900
the director of national intelligence, the CIA director, um, and others. This absolutely needs
00:32:41.460
to be thoroughly investigated. I can't imagine in any prior administration that a national security
00:32:47.940
advisor, secretary of defense, and very importantly, the director of national intelligence and the CIA
00:32:54.020
director all know what is classified. Their job is to protect classified, that they all willingly
00:32:59.940
participated, uh, without even raised batting an eye, uh, in a classified conversation, uh, on a
00:33:07.540
non-secure non-government application. Okay. So she, she's shocked that top administration officials
00:33:15.220
would keep classified information on a non-secured platform. This is Susan Rice who worked as the UN
00:33:23.000
ambassador during the Obama administration, the Obama administration, when the secretary of state
00:33:27.240
kept a ton of classified material on her home server, much less secure than signal chat. That's
00:33:33.560
the first part that's a little weird. The statement that Susan Rice made, this is the worst national
00:33:39.240
security blunder I can remember. Susan Rice, the reason you have heard the name Susan Rice. If you
00:33:46.660
even remember Susan Rice, I guess it's been some years now. Susan Rice was the fall man for the Obama
00:33:52.420
administration after the Benghazi attacks on September 11th, 2012. There was an attack on the
00:33:58.800
American consulate in Benghazi. A number of Americans were killed. This was on September 11th. It was
00:34:06.760
obviously because of the anniversary of September 11th. And Susan Rice was sent on TV to be the fall
00:34:14.360
man for the administration to say something that wasn't true. She said that the Benghazi attack was
00:34:21.500
the result of a spontaneous uprising that itself was the reaction to a YouTube video. That was the
00:34:29.340
claim. And they later blamed the CIA for bad intel or whatever. But the claim was so preposterous on its
00:34:35.140
face. You can't believe any of it. There's no way this there's no way the CIA is that stupid as to
00:34:41.280
think that a highly coordinated attack that resulted in the death of multiple Americans on the anniversary
00:34:48.340
of September 11th in Benghazi was the result of a spontaneous uprising because people were upset
00:34:54.340
about a YouTube video that no one had really even seen. Very few people had seen. What was it? We later
00:34:59.660
found out that that attack was highly coordinated. It was planned by al-Qaeda groups. I think it was
00:35:07.380
called for by al-Zawahiri. It was totally preposterous. But you don't even need to go all
00:35:13.780
the way back to Susan Rice. It's silly that Susan Rice, who was the face of one of the biggest national
00:35:20.340
security debacles in recent memory, would go out there and make this claim. You don't even need to go
00:35:24.300
that far back, though. The Afghanistan withdrawal under Joe Biden. Multiple American troops killed,
00:35:32.580
lots of Afghans killed, billions of dollars of equipment left to the Taliban, our enemies who
00:35:37.780
then use it, retake the country after 20 years of us fighting a war to secure it. You wouldn't say
00:35:43.760
that that's a little bit higher on the ranking of national security debacles than some guys from
00:35:50.720
the Trump admin talking in the boys chat. I don't know. To me, this is, not only is this a weak
00:35:58.260
attack on the Trump administration, for Democrats, this is a self-defeating attack. Because people had
00:36:03.340
forgotten about the Benghazi attack. People had forgotten about the Afghanistan withdrawal. And now
00:36:08.200
to have Susan Rice, of all people, make this claim on TV, it just brings back all of those memories.
00:36:13.460
It, ironically, the, the attack on, on the group chat, the Trump admin group chat, you know, the,
00:36:20.900
the emojis to, to, to coordinate or to, to just discuss an attack that was carried out with perfect
00:36:28.420
precision, an attack from us on our enemies with perfect precision. It just highlights how much
00:36:36.140
better this administration is at conductive foreign policy than the previous Democrat administrations,
00:36:40.700
you know, at the Daily Wire. We give you the facts. We give you our opinions. No apologies.
00:36:45.600
When we report on the administration's recent immigration policies that are finally making
00:36:49.400
the border safer, legacy outlets downplay the numbers and ignore the obvious. Why did it take
00:36:53.420
record-breaking chaos to get here? Who is accountable for the damage of the last four years? This is why

My favorite comment yesterday is from helarchy4309. It says,
00:37:09.400
I have no desire to rejoin the British Empire, nor do I desire to join the British Caliphate.
00:37:14.300
Yes, I guess that's the, the worry. We're not talking about rejoining the British Empire. We're
00:37:19.660
talking, there's a successor organization that recognizes a common cultural heritage among the
00:37:23.940
Anglophone countries, which is good. We like common heritage. We like history. We like tradition.
00:37:28.860
We like culture. We're conservatives. We're, we're not globalists. We're not libs. We're not
00:37:35.160
kumbaya citizens of the world. We have a, we're a real people with a real history and a real culture.
00:37:40.160
So that would be a mark in favor of the Commonwealth. The mark against it is that the Commonwealth is
00:37:46.420
increasingly not English and not Christian and not Western. And yeah, so fair enough. That's a,
00:37:53.180
that's a, maybe we got to make it great again. M-T-C-G-A. M-T-C-G-A. Make the Commonwealth great
00:38:02.480
again. Speaking of Democrats in disarray, CNN just interviewed Democrat Congressman Connolly,
00:38:09.820
Jerry Connolly, and asked, is your party doing all right? Is your party prepared for the midterms,
00:38:17.540
prepared for 2028, or are you guys in absolute chaos? Here is his unconvincing answer.
00:38:24.560
Your House Democratic leader, Hakeem Jeffries, not long ago asked if he had confidence in Chuck Schumer.
00:38:32.480
And he wouldn't answer the question, full view of the cameras. If that's not disarray, then what is
00:38:38.700
that? I think that's a New York snub. I don't call that disarray. That's New York politics. They both
00:38:46.660
come from the same place. They, they have lots in common and they also have, I'm sure, some tensions as
00:38:56.880
most politicians do, even in the same party. But that's not disarray. Disarray is a really big word, man.
00:39:05.200
It's not that big a word, right? This array has three syllables. It's not a big word. I think it's, it's a
00:39:10.740
relatively small word and it's a precise word. You can just hear the narrator in the documentary come in.
00:39:17.280
I don't, that's not disarray. The Democrats are not in disarray. They were, in fact, in disarray. When you have
00:39:24.560
the Democrat leader in the House refusing to express confidence, explicitly refusing to express confidence in the
00:39:32.600
Democrat leader in the Senate, when they're, when they're both from the same state even, that's bad. Kudos to
00:39:40.100
Jerry Connolly here. I mean, good job. He's trying to spin it. Oh, it's just how New Yorkers talk or whatever. But you
00:39:44.740
might make that same argument to show that this is even greater disarray than we previously thought
00:39:49.000
because, yeah, these two guys, they're from the same state. They're supposed to be on the same team.
00:39:53.040
They're supposed to be aligned. And the leader in the House can't express confidence in the leader
00:39:59.060
in the Senate. And they're all upset at Chuck Schumer because Chuck Schumer did not block Trump's
00:40:04.860
continuing resolution. Schumer did not shut down the government. But Schumer was in a lose-lose
00:40:08.560
situation. Had he shut down the government, it would have been even worse for the Democrats.
00:40:11.360
Democrats, they don't know what direction they want to go in. They don't know what their legislative
00:40:17.740
priorities are when you look at the options on the table to them right now. Of course, in general,
00:40:22.460
they want to trans kids and murder babies and open the border and they pie in the sky. But when it comes
00:40:27.720
to the political reality right now, what do Democrats do to stop Trump? What do Democrats do to win the
00:40:32.640
midterms? What do Democrats do to win the presidency in 2028? They don't have any clear answers. They have no
00:40:37.760
idea what they're going to do. They don't even know who's on the team. They can't agree who's
00:40:42.080
even on their own team. Total disarray. The one thing they can agree on is they do still want to
00:40:47.460
gatekeep. The biggest problem facing Democrats right now is not any particular issue. The most
00:40:55.460
immediate problem is that the coalition that allowed Democrats to win, twice under Barack Obama,
00:41:02.560
arguably under Joe Biden, not so sure. But even that, that Obama coalition was the Bill Clinton
00:41:08.940
coalition that had let them rule for a long time. That coalition has broken up because that coalition
00:41:17.940
required a lock on racial minorities and 46% of Hispanics voted for Trump and one in five black
00:41:25.320
guys voted for Trump. And even just pushing the black vote from 8% Republican to 20% among the men
00:41:33.100
Republican, even that was enough to crack the Democrats coalition. So they're going to have
00:41:38.640
to refocus on that. They're going to have to try to crack the Trump coalition in the midterms.
00:41:42.580
And Don Lemon is doing his best to gatekeep by saying, look, as a black man, I want you to know
00:41:48.600
I respect you black people. You can make decisions, black people. You can be whatever
00:41:52.880
political party you want to be, black people. But you're not allowed to vote for Trump.
00:41:58.420
No, no, I just said, I don't think that I just said, I think there can be sincere Republicans.
00:42:08.040
I don't think that you can. I don't think that you can be a rational MAGA,
00:42:12.540
be black and be a rational MAGA person. I think you can be black and be a Republican.
00:42:21.020
The truth is often insulting. Is that the truth is insulting? If you are living out of accord with
00:42:32.160
reality. But if you are living in accord with reality, the truth is comforting.
00:42:38.180
That was a very revealing statement from Don Lemon. So I find the truth insulting and offensive.
00:42:44.100
Oh, well, then you're living in the wrong way. And your view of the world is wrong.
00:42:47.460
And his view here is obviously wrong. But it reveals an important political truth.
00:42:53.840
He says, look, black people are allowed to be Republicans. How big of him? How generous of him
00:42:59.740
to offer that? He has to say that. He can't say you're not allowed to be. You ain't black. That's
00:43:03.820
what Joe Biden said. If you vote, if you're a black guy and you're going to vote for Trump, you ain't black.
00:43:09.140
That doesn't play well. So he says, no, you can be a Republican. You just can't be that kind of
00:43:15.340
Republican. And you hear this all the time. No, no, no. It's okay. You can be a Republican if you
00:43:20.880
support Republicans who are dead and no longer relevant to politics. Oh, yes. If you like Ronald
00:43:26.380
Reagan, that's fine. If you like George Bush, even that's fine. You're also allowed to support
00:43:31.140
Republicans who lose elections. You support Mitt Romney. Oh, that's fine. You support,
00:43:37.080
you're also allowed to support Republicans who are effectively Democrats like Liz Cheney and Adam
00:43:41.280
Kinzinger. Oh, yes. No, they're principled. That's great. That's fine. The one thing you're
00:43:47.420
not allowed to do is support Republicans who win. Republicans who are an actual threat to the
00:43:53.600
liberal order. That's what you're not allowed to do. You can't, you're not allowed to support
00:43:57.600
Republicans who matter. And this is the rule of thumb. This is the political truth. Whichever group
00:44:04.080
the Democrats say you can't support, that is the group that matters. And all those other groups
00:44:11.500
don't matter. You could be a Republican. Whatever kind of Republican Don Lemon thinks black people
00:44:17.580
are allowed to be, those Republicans do not matter. They have no significance whatsoever to politics.
00:44:25.760
Problem is, the real problem for Don Lemon and the Democrats here is that black people like
00:44:32.520
the MAGA Republicans, black people like Donald Trump more than they like any other Republican.
00:44:39.940
That is just borne out in the polling. So Don Lemon can whine and cry about it all the time to Bill
00:44:45.620
Maher, but it's not going to make a lick of difference. Now, the Democrats have no positive
00:44:51.780
message right now. That is why House Democrat women are jiggling on camera, but we're not going to get to
00:44:56.040
that today. You're welcome. Sometimes I tease stories that you do want to hear. Today, I'm actually saving
00:45:02.060
you from a, you don't want to see this, but maybe you do like a car crash. You want it. You got to
00:45:06.380
turn your head. Oh, is it on fire? Is there any blood? I don't, I know you, it's a deep, dark part
00:45:11.400
of me, but we won't get to it today. We'll have to get to it tomorrow. Today's Woke Wednesday. The rest
