The Essential Role of Diverse Culture

Hello everybody. it is liveified with Don Lemon on the Don Lemon showh. I feel like I need a little like mood lighting because it's five in the evening, Eastern time. Thank you for joining us I always say that I'm happy that you're here and I am going take the lights down. There we go the evening time to Midnight Soul So make sure you hit the like and the thumbs up because it does affect the algorithm. More people become aware of our conversation on our channel and that is very important. So good evening, everyone. Let me know where you're streaming from. And our big topic of discussion today is going to be something that's very pertinent to your lives and I'm talking about the Supreme Court and why It is important for you to get out and vote and also how this affects especially people of color that you cannot erase people of color from history and the present because the whole thing that happened at the Supreme Court today is as it relates to birthright citizenship startarted from the fourourteenth Amendment, which was about black people And also from the Dred Scott decision again about Back people. First though, and wait our guest coming up is going to be Ms Joy Reid of the Joy Reid Sh friend of the show and her own successful show, host of her own successful show. But first Let's get you to where it all happened today. and that is Washington, D.C. and our correspondent there is Daniel grimes, Daniel has' learing this Not only did you cover the breaking news with us today as we got breaking news and then had to unbreak the news with because of NPR, That was a bit of a debacle. But you have been speaking to lawmakers about the news of said breaking news that happened as you were standing front of the Supreme Court. What do you say? I' you hearing That's right Joh. I actually talked to law makers about the real breaking news, not the the faux breaking news with although again, everybody watch your breaking news alerts, expect that news to become real in the coming days probably But I do think that news is going to become real Yeah, I agree, I agree. Well I did chat with some lawmakers. I funnily enough, tried to chat with Miss Lauren Bobert, Colorado and she said, Oh, you seem so sweet. What's the DL stand for it? And I said, Don Lemmon. She goes, Oh, I thought you were nice. I said, we are nice. comeome on and chat with us. And she didn't want to do it. but then chat with some Republicans, Miss Nancy Mays, Well, let's go ahead and start with friend to the show, Ms. Komloger Dove, representative of Komloger Dove herer take about the Birthright citizenship case and a few of the other cases that dropped today The first question is about the president's birthright citizenship. He's not a fan, but the Supreme Court upheld the fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. What are your thoughts? I love Katanji Brown Jackson's clap back. Clarence Thomas. So first people need to know that Clarence was actually seen walking the halls just the other day before this decision was released. He's never been here. So who was he talking to? probablyroably coavevetching about what he knew was going to go down. And then Katanji's lovely clap back, which is you claim to be blind every single time except when we were talking about birthright citizenship, which oh by the way, came into existence because of your black ass, your ancestors. And this is what we were fighting for. I grateful that the president is salty. I'm sorry, mother for using a curse word. I am glad that he is salty, and I am glad that the majority of these justices stood up for the Constitution, which seems like an oxymoron. Why should the justices have to uphold the Constitution And why wasn't it nine to zero? That's all I'm saying Agreed, John. And that was we got into that as well. And I mean, with a couple of other representatives, people just shocked that it wasn't a full nine to zero decision We can't get into the justices' minds, but you would think that this was clearly laid out in the fourteenth amendment. Kind of a shocker there, but alas. I also want to talk to someone on the opposite of the aisle. All right, who do you want to hear from? I know you're going to chat with Reed with Joy Reed and use some of these. Would you rather hear from first m Nancy Mays or Wesley Hunt You choose Dg Really? It's what kind of place is that? Let's hear from let's hear from Nancy Mace because Nancy Mace is so obsessed with who what bathroom people are going to? it makes me wonder like, you know Why went sh done Why she cares about what bathroom people are going to? And why she doesn't know that trans people are not molesting people in the bathroom. It is middle aged white dudes that's doing all the molesting in this country. And those are facts. or most of the molesting, Let's put it that way. Well, I also had a correctter when she misnamed or deadnamed Rresentative McBride. She didn't seem to like that, but you had to respect people. So yeah, And did do you mind going and playing that one with Miss Nancy Mace? laws that would prevent it. I mean, I think one of the things you can do, you can have like, I think children not within our borders, even within a certain mileage of it and come here there is birth tourisms I'm told where people will come here have babies and then go back. I don't know any other country in the world. Do you know any other country in the world that allows people to just come here, have babies and then just become citizens? Canada does. There's a fewre theyreatritain Great Britain I think there's a doz. I have seen there are hundreds of thousands little girls raped in Great Britain. It I wouldn't follow Great Britain's lead on this. And we got rid of the king when we created the United States of America I Wa, Pause that? What we got rid of the king Does she know who her hero is in the White House right now? She got we got rid of the king. What the fuck is she talking about Well Don, you know that she's not a fan of the president anymore. He didn't endorse her in the govern's race. She finished a dismal fifth so I don't know if she's still a fan of President Trump She's still kissing his butt. goo on, ro that's really the question idea about a constitutional amendment. Trump says that you don't need one, but members of Congress have introduced I've introduced constitional amendments I would support, but they're damn near impossible to get. It would take a hundred years to do that. But if there's a way that we can do it by law or by statute through both chambers, but good luck, we can't even get the saave America act We can't even ban non citizens from voting in our elections. On the subject of birthros, the Justice Department did say today that they're going to shift their efforts towards targeting so called birth throslections. Yeah, I think we've got to be on lockdown. I think we' got to bat in all the hatches. I think we need to use every military component available to us at our border to ensure people aren't coming. And if you're a pregnant woman, man, we should ban you from our borders What we have done to our country to tear the borders down, to allow non citizens whether we're appropriating congressional districts, whether we're not verifying citizens or voting in our elections, all this stuff is complete and utter bullshit. And nobody no other country in their right mind does what we do. And I just you gott to come here legally follow the laws.az You've also been a big voice here about transgender, the bathroom usage here on the hill What are your thoughts on the case Representative McBride, y, you banned her, but what are your thoughts on the transgender case? You know, we've seen there wasn't a full win for Trump. It said that he states he may ban, but they don't have to. So do you think they should go further? they may ban, but they don't have to. do you think that they should go further and saying they should ban? Oh, one hundred percent. I mean, what we've seen in these mentally ill take away the rights of real bonaf fide biological women. Women fought for hundreds of years. We've only had the right to vote for just over a hundred years. We still have a long way to go and I don't think mentally ill known should take those wins from women. So you. W she talking about the white men that voted against the right for women to be able to have bodily autonomy? Is that what she meant Well, Dawn, I'm not sure what she meant because she sure was not talking about the case that was decided today, which was about trans transgender youth in girls sports. So in education and an education environment. So dont I don't know. I mean, maybe she wasn't read up on the case. Oh my. o my. Yeah, you he her there. I mean Well, you did a good job, Daniel You're a better person than me unt tell Lauren Bobert, I don't even know her. L she don'll know me like that I'm going to work on her, dau. My plan is to work on her. Let me give me two months. Okay, by the end of su summer just started, by the end of summer and viewers, all the women heads hold me accountable to this. We are gonna have her on her You got to stop asking these people, will they talk to you and you just talk to them? Just say, Hey, this is what I want to know and keep walking. She spotted the old DL Mike That one's hard to die You can do that. She said, What does DL stand for? And I mean, you can't lie. I had to say Don Lemon Just say it stands for the initials DL. and then just ask him the question. All right. Thank you, Daniel. I got to get to my guest. I appreciate it. Thank you. Nice job. Daniel Grimes, our Washington DC correspondent. Miss. Joy Reid, the host of the Joy Reed showow is here. Enjoy, my friend, Thankk you. I saw you in the green room making faces. Now here's what I will tell you I I feel like we're watching someone unravel publicly when I see Nancy Mayays. Oh doesn't look well. She not well. She doesn't look well Our brain don't work good Our brain don't work good. Mh Yeah. Christ he talking about that sayay what? She's not okay. I mean, I think I've never spent Even thirty seconds thinking about who's in the bathroom with me. I'm just saying I've never spent en set. like if you're spending that much energy thinking about who is in the bathroom with you. You're looking to do something strange in the bathroom You know what I'm saying? Becauseuse you don't really dip in a different room and you try a pee. if you would lurk lurping and looking and scanning and And you need to know who who You're looking to do something strange in the back I'm just saying Is' something wrong with you? You remember that man who was, I think it was a rest stop or no it was at a convenience store. The man who and he was this man was taking his daughters to the bathroom and he took him to the to the woman's bathroom And then this old crazy guy comes in and starts yelling at him and you know, saying he's a pervert or something you know, insinuating something like that. And then call the police And it's like, why are you calling the police? Let the man take his daughters to the bathroomice First and I'll j it. I'm just gonna say as a mom, as a parent I have One daughter and two sons And until my sons were teen eight, when you know, when they were twelve and under, They went in the bathroom with me They were I was never going to send them into a restroom, particularly one of them alone. Not because there were trans people people in there but because there are men in there. And they went in the ladies room the whole time they were little kids And I when I was pregnant, you know, pregnant women can't hold it. I walked right into the men's room. If I had to pee, I wasn't going to wait in that long line. I don't know what women do to have to stand in line for an hour to go pee And so I'm like, I'm coming to the man's room and I kept that practice going post. I will walk in a man's room and a heart because I'm like, it's a toilet There's nothing special in here that's not in a women's room. And when I got to pee I was at the theater one time, Donom, I'm not ashamed to ad it. I had to be real bad. It was an intermission. The ladady's line was long. I said, I'm sorry I gott to go into the women's room. One man stopped me One man stopped me. You' know what he said to, Don He said, Oh my God, I love you, canan we take a selfie? I said not in the bathroom, that been me. And then when I came out to his up I I get people. I get people in the bathroom too. you know guys have urinals and this one guy's like, oh my Godd, it's not lemon. He starts talking to me. I'm like, dud We're both standing here Can you wait until we Can we just get the business done? And then the other thing, I always said I I'm mad at the Democrats because I know people get mad when I'm like, I'm mad at the Democats for dot dot dot Democrats never one of the reasons we're still having this conversation, Democrats never answered the question. We if you weren't specifically watching those NFL games and those specific you know NHL games and stuff, you didn't see the ads that they were rinsing on the trans issue. It was their biggest ad spend on the MAGA side And Democrats have never answered it. And when they finally answered it, their answer was well, we should just stop talking about it Really? You threw the so but the answer is very simple Close your eyes and picture Leverna Cox S she go into M man'som? If that lady walk in the men's room She's gonna that's like when I walked in the men's room. I mean, maybe people will ask to take self with her, but you know what I mean? That's a whole woman. you telling me you would be morecomfortable you know, if a woman walks in a amazroom or even more more importantly Set aside the learurnn cos go in the m' room. becausecause again I'veone into a m's room I had to pee, I was pregnant or I had art just g away A trans man with a beard and mustache and built like you. muscles A trans man walks in the ladies' room What do you do Now you all the little Nancy Maces are gonna lose their fucking minds. If a man with a beard and a mustache D' Walk into into the ladies' room Nancy M sees him since she's a e spy on who's peeing in there What's she going to say? She's going to say, get the hell out of here. You're a man. getet out of the ladiess room, right? And And if he says to her, sorry O my birth certificate Is this female What you going to do? You are going to you're making the hell that you fear. You're going to have met people who look a hundred percent male in your ladadyiess room if you get what you asking for. ' they only think about trans women. They don't think about trans men. There are trans men double dare you to tell me that that's that person was born a man. You won't be able to tell And they' going be in women's room. What do you gonna to Jjoy, this is so easily solvable for me, especially now every time I go to Europe, I happen to be in Europe now, I went to Can Lion and now on my way back And u They everybody goes into the same bathroom Except the stalls are different. It's like, okay, you can go in that stall, you go in that stall, you go in that stall. Everybody washes their hands for the most part in the same thing And no in you go to the same place to wash your hands But everybody just goes there's a stall. here's a stall, there's a stall there. You go in and you close the door And there are some places that have urals for men and those are behind like usually a barricet or the little Saloon doors. You know what I mean? You know the little sort of shutter door thoseose are behind. Women are standing there. A nobody trying to look at them, men going to the bathroom. It's just not a thing in Europe. but for some reason, I don't know why it's a thing in America. Why I know why it's a thing is because they want to make it a thing. or they're thinking about doing something weird with someone who's young. And by the way, as we talk about this, Who's doing the molesting in America m is mared for women. It is middle aged white men married to women women That's doing vast majority of it, Christian conservative men pastor men who are in the same family. Yes. And but they don't talk about that but for some reason. Trgender people have become the focus of their ire Pastters Uncles. Fathers, the vast majority are white. Christian rate Men. It's white Christian straight men That is the conservative and conservative. The right is riddled with child molestation and child predation.eff There are Jeffrey Epstein's in every town and city in America. What Jeffrey Epstein was doing And and I'm talking about the molestation of boys and girls is white, middle aged Christian conservative men Look it up. it's just a statistical fact. just the same way the vast majority of terrorism and domestic terrorist violence is right wing men between eighteen and forty. Every FBI statistic, going back to when I was in high school, you and I were in high school says the exact same thing. Look at the serial killers You can When we used to have FBI guys on when I was working at the artist formerly known as MSNBC, our profiler, when we would bring them on because there was a mass shooting, would say, highigh likelihood, it's a white male between eighteen and forty and it almost always was. This is they need to look in their Nancy Maceason needs to look in her own community. and start figuring out what's going on with the white straight, middle aged eighteen to forty something year old Christian white Cervative Right on And those are the I mean, that's the age range. I believe that's going if they're indeed going to this u to the state far in Washington DC. However, I'm wondering if it's I'm wondering if it's because U noobody's showing up is because they can't afford gas.'s because the economy is bad. I'm serious. and we're going to talk about that, but there is a problem. There's a problem economically in this country. Perhaps that's why they're not showing up to the great state fair. I don't know, but we partnner with someone that can help you out if you in case you're having financial issues, Rolla. Support comes from American financing Let's be honest, everything feels more expensive these days. groceries, gas, insurance, travel, just about everything And if you're putting everyday expenses on a credit card, those high interest rates can make it even harder to get ahead Now, if you're a homeowner, American financing may have a smart solution for you Their smart equity loan lets you use your home's equity to pay off high interest debt while keeping your existing first mortgage exactly where it is. That's a big deal if you have a mortgage rate that you don't want to lose Unlike a helelock This is a fixed rate loan. That means a predictable monthly payment and a clear plan for paying down debt. What I also like is that there are no upfront fees just to find out what you qualify for.

They are not crazy in love, Are they crazy in love? Say is that D me. Mbe you're making a f of me. me. I'm wrong and you kiss me me, got me, got me And and this is why You can't ban black people if you want America to have flavor You don't want the blacks But you still want fun and culture. You don't want the gays But you still want fashion and fun. You don't want the brown people, but you still want Sit to get built So you don't want any of us. you just want white Wonderbred little vaset fellowas That's what that looks like You didn't want the blacks. You didn't want the brrowns. You think the Asans is too numerous So you want to get rid of everybody, but the white people and the white South Africans welcome to your new culture. And no one wants it, even you. Even your own fans don't want it. No flavor, no people. But who's the flavor? You shouldn't abandned the factax You need theers represent Jazz, you need a baria pop You know, they're sneaking the blacks in Don Jr.. they know deep down that they need the blacks because they're like Don Jr. is like, I need to have a party ty cent canan you bring some friends? all, all of a sudden, y'all want the blacks,uh, but you't sneak ' them in the back door to hang out with Don Jr.. there you're gonna to have blacks. You're going to have hip hop artists. When you really want culture, you still call us. . Well I think this is is this wait a minute. Is this K Lag or dove? Is this her talking about Um She's talking about the fair here or is that the one that Daniel did, Andy? Yeah, it's the second part. we haven't played itet Oh, we want to hear that. Let's he what she has to say I'm sure your mom will understand. Can we talk about something else the president may not be happy about, which is his big old America two hundred fifty flop? Is he losing his grip over his party? He's certainly losing his grip. I think he's lost his mind. Maybe he's even lost his bowels. I don't know, but I love the fact that They were talking about how big this thing was going to be and then we have seen aerial views of like maybe less than a thousand people there, people actually running for the exits. That is not how you celebrate this country's two hundred fiftieth anniversary. I am so hoping that states around the country are celebrating in our own real way about what we are still fighting for and what this guy' been trying to steal from us You they had like a little rodeo. They were like, Giddy up, y'all. We got a rodeo, we got some Christian singers. We got like Two clowns. We got like, u hot dog eating conscies and then they u we got a pancake eat. We got roll up some pancakes on the stick. This America, everybody Happy for I mean, Joy, look at this. Oh wait a minute. Is this the Fox News report where they're trying to pretend like this is a big deal Have you seen those reports, Joy? where they're like look at behind us and there's a big crowd. I don know Thousands Tens of people, tens of people enjoying the great American state fair See, this is what happens when you give a guy who couldn't run casinos in Atlantic City and you put him in charge of celebrating America's two hundred fiftieth birthday Be he's bad at things. all things. Well hes well, he's certainly bad. if he had gotten I'm just not to not to u stereotype anyone, but if he had gotten some black and Latino people to put that pool together That shit would be sparkling right now. You know what I'm saying? This is obvious they have never done a pool They're like, we do not want the ombres, We we want them out. We want to support them. It's like, okay, good luck in your pood dndch I get yourit done I promise you haven't built a whole couple of homes. It's like you look outside and it's like, oh, yeah, hey, we about to work. C they get it done. You don't want them? Youin't get your itit done. You don't have to have them, but if you don't have them, they're not good they work hard and they didn't get itit done and're like, you know And the thing that's so crazy is they're literally like banning black people from the military, firing all the black women from the federal government. And then they wonder why nothing's getting done and why nothing has flavor. They don't want us. and yet without you now see that what American culture is is this amalgam of all these different races and ethnicities. And without that richness It's so dry and sad and even they don't want it And so I think, you know the lesson learned here, you cannot try to marginalize and disappear African American culture which built American culture. You can't get rid of it and then still say you're having a great American state fair. A state fair about what? The state the Confederate flag, which is what the North Carolina private entity, you know, put forward, a Cfeder you know, celebrating our enemy in the Civil War. This whole thing is pathetic but I'll say one last thing, Don You know who could afford to come to DC? Those people who paid a million dollars to go watch that UFC fight that tore up the lawn of the White House. They could afford it because those are wealthy affluent, almost all white men who were able to fly in and come and see people beat the crap out of each other and call Michelle Obama a man. That was packed But when it came time for the celebration of America through Trump's private entity that was supposed to be a celebration of Trump Even MGa isn't interested in that lame shit. They couldn't even get Millie Vanilli. They had Millie, poor Vanilli is no longer with us Even they weren't there Vanilla ice even cancellled. What is happening Wait, did Vanilla ice cancel? He didn't, because they said weather Mmm we Oh, he didn't even go on after the weather. Just in his one head. They didn't even have Kid Rock. Where Kid Rock at It lip syns some shit. L that's y culture. That's y mgac culture. What is your maggac culture I's. Kanyie was like, I downn with this. He's like, I'm crazy and I wear a black clanssman outfit, but I'm not doing that Let's check out the fair. let's check the fair.'sck out Hey vent? rilled to be one of these here today to observe this beautiful festivity Okay, this music I made to get in trouble Mter you day. 'az there is It's a bless for you S Whitney has nothing on him. Whitney has nothing on Lee Greenwood. That's so sad Did you see this bjanky arch though, the one that is falling apart? I think it's made of paper mache. No, seriously, lookook at this thing. And then I mean, oh my God, how imping is so embarrassed. Every thing they were pasted The outside is just pasted on like how Yeah, look at it it is Yeah, it' like hot gluted. Oh It was I mean, they're very crafty. Look at that Who made this I don't know. I'm surprised it didn't bazzle it. I say No's the go? Where's the gold deck blinging? Look at I was I was wasasted on right And but can if you were there with your kids, I wouldn't let my kids go near this thing because I'd be worried that it's going to fall. I mean, look on the first day the ferris wheel busted, it broke down. Did you know that? Yeah. I did. And know if it fell on, you'd probably be fine. it's probably styrofoam. It probably not that heavy . It look a mess It is a mess. It is a mess. Oh Im embarrassed. Wait, what is this? All right, let's can we hear the report? Can we hear this report Is there's one there's a report where they're pretending that this. Top of the new hour. rightight now, America Reports is live from the great American state fair as the country continues celebrating its two hundred and fiftieth birthday. And just short distance from here Hi. You know what, Don? I'm enough to remember when I was in elementary school, the nineteen seventy six, I'm aging myself when Ja Ford was president. And I just remember it being huge. Like everyone was a part of it. They had like events all over the country. They brought some stuff to Denver. We're in Denver public schools. How is it that Ford did a better job of celebrating it than Donald Trump who literally comes from TV. He comes from the world of entertainment. He comes from the world of celebrity. He couldn't even get like five celebrities. Look at Obama. Obama, who ain't been president for a decade, was able to get every A list star in the world to come to Chicago to open his presidential library. Trump couldn't get nobody. Like Niicki Minaj didn't want to come and check or ask for him. Like what is happening? He couldn't get nobody to come and like do a firework thing or likeike, you know, like have a clown act or you know, do some somersaults or something What's happening Nikki must have been she didn't have a weeig that was Because that weeig last time was w was like I'm got to start USA do a voice do some voices and That' be crazy. But he did have some celebrities there. He had Dean Canain there and doctor Oz, both TV stars. Yeah, let's see There it is. And it's because there's tons of people here. It's a huge space, and it's just gonna to get more and more crowded as the week goes on.ot only do we have a lot of people here, we have people Joanna have, like Stacey Garrity and hope to be next governor of Pennsylvania. Where we? re. And it's because there's tons of people here. It's a huge space It just shows you that these people are brainwashed and that this is a cult because they're saying there's tons of people there How embarrassing. Seriously, how embarrassing for Dr. Oz and for Dean Kane Yeah. And for Fox, Fox is required to actually have their anchors posted up there. I don't know if any of the other networks did it. I'm surprised CBS didn't do it and they don't have know Tony D Kopel sitting there also faking. But the media feels like they have to pretend this is a thing You know, they have to pretend it's happening because they fear the retribution that Donald Trump will need out on them if they don't fake it. So Fox is They're like Baghdad Bob. They look like North Korean media faking it and pretending this thing is successful. and they know it's a flop. They know it's embarrassing. The whole world is watching Donald Trump fall in his face It's humiliating To be honest, the two hundred and fiftieth birthday only comes once is a landmark birthday for the United States. and our so called king is fully naked And it's gross But they had Maha food, they had make America healthy again food You don't believe me? Okay,'s show them, Andy. I do gott to say though, Maha Monday, I'm a little bit skeptical of whether it's actually Maha. This is some of the food that's being offered at the fair, okay? Not to be a Debbie downer Corn doogs, Joo chicken on a stick, loaded mac and cheese, Chicago and New York style pizza, and cheesy fries with hatch queso That is all up I don't know if it's technically Maha Monday, but the state exhibits are more than worth the trip in and of itself. Some of the highlights that I got to see that I wrote down because I want I want everyone to know what's there. The train simulator at the Nebraska booth, wafflehouse hats at the Georgia booth, the orange Grove scent in the Florida booth that they piped in from the state These are just some of the great highlights that also just kind of show how quirky all of the American states are. And it just really goes to show that when you put all of those quirks and little flaws together, it really makes for an exceptional nation. So here's the thing, it is Maha Munday, but we have the freedom to eat what we want. That's true. Right. Okay. waffles and pancakes Yeah, I think, you know, talking about what Kayley's you know addressing here with the food is, you have to think that part of Maha is Being healthy some days and then having some diversity in your life others, right? I don't think it has to be always this very strict diet. I think it shows that we can focus on our health, but yet remember that these are the times we're supposed to celebrate. and when you're celebrating, go to the fair and have some fun food. I don't think many are going to the fair if they're serving kale and humus. I will say that. Ione going to a salad It's as my friend would say sounds about white This sounds about white table. so I can say they not that bad at faking enjoying quitas with they mans because He' not gonna be convinced because I'm not convinced none of this should'all say it. If y'all fake it like that in the bed, How get divorced because I didn't believe that So Kayley Mc andny, what is Kayley Mc andny talking about? They were like, K What is she talking about the food? What is What is happening ice cream melt. I thought the ice cream machine broke the first day and then the ice cream was like all melted. and then they couldn't serve the mac and cheese because the generators broke down and the cheese was going sour. So they couldn't even serve that. Like this is a failure on such a colossal scale that you would have to like SNL cannot parody this. Like this is unparodyable because it is in and of itself so hilariously embarrassingly bad. And Donald Trump, who did this, wants to then build a real version of the Arctic Trump, as he calls it, and build a real one on our in our capital. Why are I to trust him to do that? seriously, when we can't do a little job just like painting or I don't know, the bottom of a reflecting pool, which is not that complicated to do because it doesnt it doesn't have the intricate systems that you have to filter it out so that people can swim in and you have to keep the pH level and the chlorine or whatever it is, or if it's salt, you know, if you happen to have a salt water pool It's just it's a flat body of water All it has to do is you just have to put a couple little things in there every once in a while Because you know, you don't want to disturb the fisheries and the wildlife or whatever is in the pond It's not that hard, Joy And so if this is the great celebrity apprentice businessman who can't do this If he was a contestant on the apprentice, he would be be voted out. He wouldd be fired. He would be it would be Donald failed to make the reflecting pool beautiful. It's filled with algae. The fair that you did as your assignment was a complete flop. No one showed up. You had no stars, no pizaz, no culture Donald That's That's whatpted for him to say if this was an episode of the Arentice. Well here is this brother is always on point. He's always with the brothers and the sisters Black, blacket black Here is Wesley Hunt birthright citizenship cape at theuc Court the president is not happy about it. Well, it's actually very simple. I talk about my family history a lot. You see, my great great grandfather was born on a plantation and the reason why the fourourteh Amendment was implemented was because we wanted to make sure that those people that were brought here underot under bondage had certain rights of regular American citizens. So the idea that somebody could walk across the border or come across the border illegally, have a child, then go back to their place of origin and then that child to simply be a citizen actually undermines what it means to be a United States citizen. So again, we have an opportunity to try to get this right in Congress, but I clearly disagree with what happened with the Spreme Court today. America two hundred fifty I loveve it Thank you Who goes first? You won't go first That's the bom I want to acquaint Wesley U with a place in Florida Um And it is in Boward County Well, actually all of South Florida has a lot of this. But if you go down to South Florida and particularly back in the twenty eighteen sort of period South Florida was a magnet for Russian women. who would come to South Florida and stay in Trump branded properties. It was very popular to go and stay in Trump's branded properties haveave a baby in the United States who would come pregnant. And then their children would be American citizens. Birth tourism to South Florida and the town I was trying to remember is called Sunnywlles Beach. It's like the sort of magnet for this stuff Sunny's Beach is like a magnet. They call itittle Russia because there are so many Russian women stayed in Trump properties, had a baby in the U.S and the baby's a citizen. It's like a thing So birth tourism when that was happening was not a problem. We never heard a peep from MAGA from the right, from the Tea Party movement, from any of these that are about this rampant birth tourism, which carried with it the possibility that some of the Russian mothers and fathers, particularly the mothers, might have also been here potentially doing espionage. We had no idea Their loyalty was literally to Mother Russia. And then they had an American childob, which gives all sorts of rights and privileges to the family. This happened all the time. It only became a problem when the mothers are Somali or Haitian or Nigerian O Mexican or Guatemalan. suuddenly it's a problem. I wonder if they have the same feelings about the white South Africans, who they invited to come here, who they're giving like an instapass to citizenship. There are people who've come who've been in this country for twenty five, thirty years. They're more American than Donald Trump, who's been here, what two generations. They're deeply American, believe in American values And Donald Trump wants to be able to denaturalize them simply because of their race because Donald Trump's movement, MAGA, is an apartheid based movement that fears white Americans becoming a minority And they're trying to legislate ways to keep white Americans as a majority physically, and if they become a minority, to be the only group of people who can exercise any of the civil rights clauses in the Constitution. any of the fourteenth, thirteenth, fifteenth Amendment rights, any civil rights, the only people who can say that there is racism against them, the only people who have a full and unimpeded right to vote They want to lock in an apartheid system for right wing white conservative Christians and no one else. That's why they're doing all of this. Samuel Alito whining Cry war It's literally the first line in this part of the Constitution that is very simple. If you can read, didn' you don't need to be a judge to figure this out. This is what the fourteenth Amendment says. It's very clear. All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. You don't have to be a lawyer or a judge. You just have to be able to read to understand that is. It should have been nine zero It should have been nine zero, but if you think about if you think about who actually has the right to be a citizen in this country. And you think about the people who built it and you think about what that what, you know, if they got if they let's say they got rid of it then who would the only people who would be here legally U for who were original citizens in the way that they talk about would be me Um Wesley Hunt Native Americans Mexicans I mean, those would be the folks because everybody else is an immigrant. Mhm. Look at all the Irish people And the Italian people And anybody else who's a hyppernated person, Indian Americans I'm just saying Y'all don't know what you're talking about when you talk I wanted to play this for you.

This has been going on for over a dozen years. Go home. Out, We know our country is better than yours That's because we filled it with our work ethic and our culture and our values You being here only dilutes it for us, those who built it and live it. And half of you people more than half of you won't assimilate. We don't want you We don't care if you're offended. Get out. goo home. Go back to fucking Haiti, sorry just I'm thinking about our friends in Ohio who've been dealing with these TPS Haitians. for years now Who are drunk driving all over their towns and killing people. This is the whole cats and dogs thing Don't. Want to live likeike Americans live. This is supposed to be a temporary It was supposed to be temporary help And it's turned into another backdoor way of allowing someone permanent residency here And they take advantage of all of our public services and our Mm Let's talk about the Irish. I mean, they came here, Kelly, Megan Kelly However The two things, I'm have two minds about this. Number one M She wants clicks. So I usually don't. I usually try to ignore her, but sometimes it's just too egre just to ignore, especially when you have your facts wrong and you're talking about who built this country What fuck is you talking about who built this country She doesn't know who built this country For free Didn't get paid anything I'm just I'm just saying and per people did not come over and say, I'm going to apply for my green card and I'm going to do this. and I'm going to we're going to come over on this ship They came over here, many of them escaping the potato famine in Ireland Persecution. Um H Discrimination Poverty. kinds of things and they came here with their hands out And they didn't even consider them white And now she is nerved to talk about get out. We built this country. It's our work ethic Meagghan what is if she doesn't believe that Half of mind says she doesn't believe it and she's doing it for the clicks. And then half of mind is like, Yeahah, that's exactly what she believes. Either way, it's awful. I think she believes it And first of all, why do you have to sound like a wicked witch? Get out. G back to. little pretty L she should be green.ike I don't understand how shes her skin isn't. She sounds like the wicked witch of the West. Like get your radio voice together. Speak in a lower register. you sound like the ex wpe every man in America dreads having to talk to on the phone about their kids and whether they can pick them up on the weekends You literally sound like the bitchy ex wife that's like, You can't see your kids this weekek. You can't say your children. they don't even bar. And she tells her kids you Lower your register bitch becausecause you're in radio And we always learned as women in radio, you need to speak at a register that you're gonna be able to get the respect of the listener. Remember, not everyone is watching you bitch. someome of them are just listening to you. And on the radio, you're literally giving people a headache with that register it. B I get it out of my system like her. But the but she's also, as you said, Dwn, she's just wrong on the facts As you said, it used to be no blacks, no Jews, no Iris No Jews, no blacks, no Irish. That was like a common thing. Like the Irish were considered along with Italians to be subw. sub white. They were considered like a lower group of whites. and so they weren't wanted around. And it's one of the reasons that so many Irish and Italians are cops because they were shunted into that working class tier of American workers who could be factory workers and who could be cops, which was considered a working class job, they weren't allowed in the upper sort of Brahmen tier of whiteness They eventually were added because you know, white folks wanted the numbers and they added them to whiteness. But what she doesn't understand is that the people she's targeting notot only are responsible for the building of the United States, the Haitians that she so despises. It was their revolution to Saint Louuvertur and the other Haitian Americans when the eighteenth century overthrew Napoleon Bonaparte's regime in Haiti in Haiti. threw him out on his ass. These enslaved people rose up, beat Napoleon, sent Napoleon scurrying back to France, and he was so wigged out by having lost so many men and seen so much death in Haiti that he was like, not only am I peiecing out of Haiti peacing out in North America. Remember, France helped us win our revolutionary War. They were our ally and they continued to occupy much of the American continent After losing to the Haitians to Lou oververtur and that army in Haiti, they skiedaddled and sold Thomas Jefferson forty percent of the current United States. The Louisiana purchase is why we have everything west of the Mississippi. So we literally obtained forty percent of the land. Are you gonna do that cut I'm sorry Yeah, No was my wifi. I' sorry, I'm in Harlem, and my wiifi is crazy but I'm saying we have forty percent of our landmass because of Haiti forty percent The Louisiana purchase came because they beat Napoleon in the war in Haiti, the revolutionary warar. So Haiti is deeply embedded in our history We owe the Haitian Revolution for forty percent of our landmass for New Orleans culture for much of our food culture, So the Haiti is embedded in our history It's a part of our history. We also destroyed Haiti after they became freed by literally refusing for sixty five years to recognize them as a state And then on top of that, the U S. kept trying to occupy and own Haiti's wealth We confiscated all of their gold at one point and flew it to the United States. We keep overturning their governments So we owe them more than they more than anything. we should be grateful to the Haitian people and we owe them for a lot of our existence as a country, much more than we owe her ancestors. I think I've lost you, Dwn. O maybe I got lost, oo No, it's Dwn. Yeah, Dwn froze Oh my gosh, Don went away. Oh now I'm hosting the Don Lemon Show. Well guys, I guess now I have taken over the Don Lemon Show. Hopefully Don will be back. Don is in Europe. I can't believe my Wi Fi is better than Dawn's. But yeah, I'll just keep yapping until Dawn comes back. There is. I took over your stone for a minute. and it was an out of body experience It was amazing. Oh my God d, your show is so cute and I love that. No, No I lookook, I thank you for that that history lesson and that's the only reason why I responded to her because she, you know, she loves the attention Um And did you see Tom Emmer as well? would he have to say? Bs just a little bit it's so it but it's the same sort of thing where it just sort of shll like we are the Americans and Christians built this country. Like here he is. Guess what There is nothing racist callalling out a criminal. So when I say that It's time It's time. I mean, this is what they do in the great state of Minnesota. You know, our culture, that Scandinavian culture, by the way, I better make it clear before I go any farther. Minnesotans, are there any here Good. then let me just say Okay, well, Borne you're wearing that hat. You must be from Northern Minnesota, the Iron Range. No I probably closer to Iowa. No I'm going to leave that alone The reason I bring it up is because I tell people regularly, Minnesota did not create passive aggressive behavior, but we did perfect it, okay And I happen to be more on the aggressive aggressive side, which doesn't always work in Minnesota as Ralph will tell you. You know, sometimes Minnesotans are so afraid that you're going to call us a racist. You're going to call us an Islamophobe. You're going call us some name that we just don't want to get into that fight. You know what I would argue that I never did care But I'm done being careful, even the least bit careful He was careful. Okay, that's good enough. He was He was careful before I mean, and the thing is, you know, D, it's always a tale When a white dude in a room full of white friends or, you know fans or whoever people in his audience on his own brings up racism. And no one un asked by no one he brings up racism multiple times before he launches into his Go to Hell Back to yourour countountry speech about Somalis. So it's like, dude, you brought up racism on your own So you must know that what you're about to say is about to be really, really racist, right? So it's like you told on yourself You know, and what do you mean by Be American What do they mean? Do you know what they mean why they say be assimilate to assimilate to what What do they think that non white people need to assimilate to? What is white culture? What is it that they want us to ass are people to assimilate too. canan you explain it What is it No, what I think we saw it. I think we saw it at the two hundred fifty So you mean like, I'm serious. Mac a cheese ating mayayonnaise sandwiches, hot dog eating contests. Basketball teams that don't win Like football teams that don't win I'm just, you know, I never saw more, onene of the most beautiful things about the Kicks winning other than the Kicks winning after fifty three years, was seeing all these young white kids walking around in Brunson jerseys, like young white kids who the racism is the last thing on their minds. They're reveering these black players unapologetically walking around wearing literally the name of African American athletes on their bodies The reality is American culture is inseparable from black culture. Take away black culture. You get no jazz, you get no hip hop, you get no blues, you get no country, you get no rock and roll. Half the foods that people enjoy. No French fries, French fries made by Thomas Jefferson's enslaved son. You talk about the food that we enjoy. No taco Tuesdays without the Mexicans. sorry, no Chinese food, which is not what they eat in China. If you go to Chinatown What they serve in you in a front, that is an American version of Chinaese. Americanized. What they really eat is totally different. You don't get that. No more Chinese food in the little box, no more that little fried chicken that they make at the Chinese joint. You want American culture, the bodega, which is such in a mix of people who are from Yemen, All those Yemeni bodegas on the corner. That's America America is a mix of the Norwegian culture of Minnesota plus the Haitian culture of New Orleans. It's the Jewish amalgam with black folk to make jazz in the thirties. American culture is a mix. And if you take away just the black culture, take African Americans off the table, there's no America. We're a sad pathetic mini baby Europe And Europe ain't that spicy and ain't that flavorful, which is why Europeans come over here. If European culture was so hot, they'd stay over there. But Meghgan Kelly's ancestors and Trump's German ancestors and Ron DeSantis's Italian ancestors and Giuliani's Italian ancestors, they didn't think Europe was that hot because they brought their asses over here Stephven Miller, Jewish ancestors got literally caught in the Holocaust, came here by the grace of God and now he don't want no more immigrants and more more refugees The the if Europe is so great, go the fuck back there, excuse my language. Y'all are acting like you want to be Europe. go live there 'causeuse it's not spicy. That's why y' ancestors are here Your ancestors are here for the same reason my family came here becausecause they're attracted to the the excitement of this multir racial multi, you know, this sort of this this amalgam culture. It's like all the best all of the world all togetheret. That's what makes America hot. That's why everybody wants to come here. And if you want to whiten it and rinse it of its flavor and wash all the seasoning off, you're going to have sad pathetic Europe. You're going to have what they have at that state there Mhm. And look, as you said it I don't think people would realize as you said, there's no jazz. o, we get that. There's no R and D There's no hip hop. There's no country music because that was invented by black folks. There's no pop music. There's no rock and roll. As Elvis if he was alive Who were his mentors Who was he mimicking when he was doing that? Ask Chuck not Chuck Bears, U the other one, the white one who was like a Chuck Berry Whatever his name is Yeah. ask him Ask them who they were mimicking Ask all the black um musicians Yeah had their material stolen and plagiarized by the white artist who made all the money and won all the awards, ask them That's and that's what you would have. You would have you would have no motown to influential music You would have no Whitney Houston I'm just saying You would have no Aretha Franklin You would have no Michael Jackson, no prince, no nothing. And who would want that Can you imagine, Don, and let's go in the alternate universe Pamala is present because either way there was going to be a big two hundred fifty celebration And you had a motown exhibit showing you what's happening in Michigan. It was a Detroit exhibit with incredible motown music. If you had in Indiana, a whole Michael Jackson extravaganza in the Indiana exhibit. If you had the New Orleans exhibit giving you gumbo and jazz and blues, and you had the Mississippi exhibit that had all of the great, you know original blues players and you had a sinnner' exhibit. If you literally had Atlanta, you had the hottest things out of Atlanta Imagine the flavorful, the flavorful New York with the Bronx and the Oh my gosh. C on You would had suarlm s out there doing herena and you would have party B getting out there like I You know, they would have been like shot to death. Like it would have been bomb. If we had had Kamala, all the celebrities would have been there. You would have had hip hop, rock and' roll, country music, everything would have been represented. It would have been We could have had a two hundred fifty that was the that was the badest thing on eararth. off the chain Yeah off the chain if we had had a real president that cared about the country and not about making it about himself. It was all about Trump And Trump is whack. That's why his thing is whack You think it's over for Mga? I think this is the beginning of the end I really Maga done. It's so it's so rinsed out. It's not hot. It's not cute. Even all their little young Mgas are bored with it. They're mocking it themselves. They're laughing at. The Nick Fuentus racists of the world are even done with it. It's burnt out. You know, Donald Trump had his moment, but he used it to get really, really rich. And if you're a Maga, he play y'all He made it look like it was cool and y'all were gonna do the YMCA dance, which is weird. Like why are y'all into YMCA? Do you understand what you're doing If you had if we had common, as you said, we would' have had some real gays out there dancing Gays would have been listen. We would have had a little drag bbe. Look, I was at a little drag brunch this weekend on when I told you would had that drag brunch vibe Listen have been You at a drag brunch this weekend Listen.
