Don Lemon & Jennifer Welch Can't Believe What's Happening At The RNC Convention

There's a gay hookup I've called grind for its experiencing outages during the Republicans Trump Apollosa. I'm not surprised at all, especially in light of the fact

2:01that we know that when Republicans go to fumerals, like Charlie Kirk's, it also crashes there. Yeah. And also they served up a little light porn by putting hot access on Piker and his pennies both nights on the jumbo tron, coupled that with the fact that everybody on Fox News is horny AF and cannot stop talking about how hot Abdul Al-Sayed is, how hot Zoran is, how hot AOC is. I bet if you open up the grinder inside right after they put up a son's picture, it was pinging for people trying to, you know, find someone. I bet the location thing is crazy inside the convention center. Jen, there's so much to talk about including this crazy midterm convention. I don't even, there's not even a thing, but it has become a thing. They thought that this would boost maybe their Republican support or get, you know, they could be cheerleaders for the midterms, but it turns out to be a crazy lunatic fast with

3:01Donald Trump making people pledge allegiance to him and the Republican Party. Here it is. Please raise your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. And Jen, they do it. They do it. And it seems, I felt like I was, I don't know, this seems like something that's a little Nazi Germany to me. Very Nazi Germany. And I just want to point out he does that, that shit stone cold sober. Sober, he did that sober, Don. I mean, this is like something you're in a bar and some drunk stands up because everybody stand up. The president of the United States. And this has been so normalized by corporate media and this man and this cult, if we were all watching this and he goes, now I'm going to pass out the Kool-Aid and we're going to

4:02take a shot. You would be like, yeah, and someday, Don, this soon, this will be played in a documentary as referencing a cult. Look at all those white women standing behind him, just gleefully clapping like seals when he values the rights of a rapist over the rights of women. And I wonder why he does that because he himself is an adjudicated rapist. I, every time he does something, and we say it a lot, I'm sure, but every time he does something, it seems like it's worse than the last time, but people just, they say, oh, that's what we expect from him. But this convention is a bit different for me because you see everyone in the same room, all like trained seals going along with what he says, like that $5,000 pledge. And they think it's great when it's clearly vote-rigging and election and vote-buying.

5:02And the party goes along with it. I should say I'm surprised, but I'm not. I'm going to play this, and then we can talk about it. This will tell you why I'm not surprised. Oh, this is Ted Cruz. I don't know if you saw this part. So Ted Cruz is at this convention and he's speaking, and I want you to listen real close. When Mandami says he wants to seize the means of production, he means it. When Abdul Al Sayed says he has a quote obligation to comply with Sharia law, he means it. And when James Talleriko says he wants to dismantle capitalism, he means it. OK, did you hear that? He should be shot. Now, first of all, I don't know if Al Sayed don't know if you've ever said he needs comply with Sharia law, but he needs to be shot. Come on. This is part of the Republican Party that nobody wants to talk about.

6:03The Republican Party, they love to talk about terrorism and use 9-11, which is the 25th anniversary today. They love to use that as propaganda. But boy, they never talk about Oklahoma City bombing, do they? They never talk about Timothy McVey, the right-winger, who dabbled in all these right-wing circles, who drove a truck. And I lived a mile and a half from there. And I remember that day, he drove a truck full of fertilizer and made a bomb and blew up a federal building. And there was a daycare in the ground floor. And the right has a violent rhetoric problem. And you and I are old enough to remember when a lady that was at a John McCain rally tried to call Barack Obama a Muslim and a terrorist, John McCain said, no, ma'am, no, no. That Republican Party, any modicum of decency that they had, which they had a tinge back then, just a tinge, is gone. This is a death cult, full of racists, full stop.

7:07And we have to share a country with them. And this is a cancer in our culture. Jen, let's talk about something that you and I, people may be surprised that we are even sharing it here. But Jen and I are friends and we talk. And Jen, I was quite frankly surprised that you did Pierce Morgan. And I know that you have your reasons for it. I respect that. I just don't understand why. And he challenged you on the whole Hitler thing. And it just seems like, oh my god, Jen, you know, of course he's going to do that. And yeah, JD Vance compared him to Hitler. Pierce is not listening to that. Maybe it's good to go there so that people on the crazy side can hear. But look at what we're talking about now. Donald Trump is making people raise their right hands. And one level up would be the salute. And I was just like, Jen, I don't know. I think you're better than Pierce Morgan going on that show. It's just I don't know. I, first of all, thank you for being so protective of me and being such a good friend. First, you can handle yourself. I know that. I can't.

8:07It's secondly, they had been asking and asking and asking. And I had done Abby Phillips show quite a bit on CNN. And after I would leave those spaces. And I really like Abby. This is no disrespect to her. But the sitting there and trying to make a point based in fact next to Scott Jennings, who's a propaganda slayer. I didn't like all that bickering. So I know I don't watch Pierce Morgan, but I see the clips are based fighting and screaming. So they asked and asked, we come on, we come on. I was in no, no, no, no. Then they came back and said, will you do it one on one? And I thought, you know what? I'll do it. And I felt like I handled myself well. I think it's sometimes good for people like us to go into spaces we wouldn't normally do. And it's a lesson we have to learn sadly from the Republican Party because they go everywhere. They go everywhere. And we see politicians like Rocana that will go on any space. Now, granted I'm not a politician. But I do understand your concern, Don, and go on, why would you do that? Because I feel that too.

9:09And so, but at the end of the day, I felt like I am always true to myself. My main hesitant for doing a lot of that. And there's an ugly side that we don't talk about that much on our spaces. But you get the brunt of this. And I get the brunt of this. When somebody like Don or me goes onto a right leaning space, the death threats and the threats of sexual violence and the doxing that we all get is really overwhelming. And I don't really talk about that that much because I have autonomy and agency and every day I choose to get up and do this job. But I'm always hesitant to go into those spaces because it is just the threats to my well-being. And I think a lot of these people are keyboard warriors been in light of the one-year of Charlie Kirk getting shot was just last year. You know what makes you think twice. So, I mean, first of all, thank you.

10:09Number two, I share your concerns. Number three, I kind of feel like I did a good job. Oh, I don't know. This has nothing to do with your performance. You can, like I said, you can handle yourself. You're a bad ass. I just feel. Shop vans and Albertsons for fresh savings every time you shop.

And you know, I've had very similar experience with peers. My experience with peers is different than yours. And my concern was that I know that that show is clickbait,

11:10that it is a trap, right? I worked with Pierce Morgan. When Pierce Morgan left CNN, I acquired his team, his entire writing production team, and the hour that he did on CNN. And you know, the stories that I heard about him and the way that he conducted himself at CNN and then they eventually let him go. And so, but I would see him at restaurants in New York and he's come on the show. His people would ask me, come on the show, come on the show. And I would say the same thing. I said, I do not do panels. I don't think it's productive. I'm not going to be set up to fight. I don't want to argue. And finally, they called and said, peers will do a one-on-one with you. What are the subjects you want to talk about? We'll do that. We won't be here. I said, OK, that's fine. And I was like, I will see. First thing I get there, they said to me, they asked me in the pre-interview. Do you want to talk about CNN and why you left? They said, it's old. I really don't want to discuss. I get into the weeds about that. It's three years old. First question he asks is about that. And that appears. It's not what we discuss, but that's three years ago, Bob, Bob, and he just kept going on. And I was like, I was like, you know what? I'm not going to do this. It's a trap. I don't know why I came on the show.

12:11It's awful. So I was just looking out for you. But let me just say that show is clickbait and that delay that they have there, I believe, in my opinion, they have the delay on purpose so that people can get tripped up over each other. So that you start talking over each other. And then you start yelling at each other. And then I wonder at the end of the day, if it's just like, oh, this person, all in that person, that person, all in this person. And then what do you get out of it? But I do love that you went there. I do love that you conducted yourself in a magnificent way as you always do. And I don't think you came away as clickbait. I actually think you came off looking pretty well. So I respect it. Thank you. Thank you for all of the Welsh liminators. You need to make it. Ron texted me the night before and said, girl, you're my friend. I love you and I want to warn you. And he was, I mean, and he was just like, because he knows I'm new to this. And Don is a veteran in all of this. And he was like a really good brother to me the night before. And I want people to know that behind the scenes, the right wing media ecosystem, they're all bickering and fighting with each other and cannibalizing each other.

13:13On our side, there's real genuine warmth, affection, and friendship on the left leaning side for sure. And so thank you for that. You know, we check numbers all day, all day long. I'm sure you do. How many steps did I take? What's my heart rate? How much did I sleep? Some of us check our bank accounts more often than we probably should. And I talk about polling numbers a lot, all kinds of things, statistics, everything. But when was the last time you checked your blood pressure? Because here is the problem with that. High blood pressure often doesn't make you feel any different. You can feel perfectly fine and have no idea what your numbers are. And that's why 120 light, this caught my attention. They have a simple 14 day experiment. Check your blood pressure, drink 120 life once a day, keep checking your numbers and see what happens for yourself. I like that. You don't have to guess, you don't have to anything. You just measure, right? Go to 120life.com, that's 120, L-I-F-E.com,

Jen, let's talk about, I wanna go back to this convention and talk about the gaze. Because the gaze grinder is overheating now. There's smoke coming out of wherever the center or machine or whatever it is for grinder. There's smoke coming out and it's about to be on fire. So the hookup app, there's a gay hookup app called Grindr. It's experiencing outages during the Republicans Trump a Paloza. It happens every time there's a Republican event. I could have before pre Grindr,

15:15I don't remember when Grindr was, it was Grindr around in 2016 maybe, I don't know. But I would go to Republican events for years I would go. And that's the places that I would get hit on by guys who were in the closet and married and more than going to a gay bar. Are you surprised that the Grindr thing is on fire and is having trouble? I'm not surprised at all, especially in light of the fact that we know that when Republicans go to funerals like Charlie Kirk's, it also crashes there. And also they served up a little light porn by putting hot ashes on Piker and his panties both nights on the jumbo tron, which I'm sure has all the husbands and the wives frothing at the mouth. If they think like that this is somehow like an own to us, when you also couple this, that they chose to put Hassan up there, you couple that with the fact that everybody on Fox News is horny AF and cannot stop talking about how hot,

16:18Abdul Al Sayed is, how hot Zoran is, how hot AOC is, then they put up our leftist streamer, which you and I are really good about this. He's welcome in our tent. From the center all the way to the left, we have a tent to fight fascism. I think that the right wing is super horny. I think that this is showing up with Grindr crashing. I mean, I don't know if you've seen Laura Ingram. I mean, that woman, somebody's got to get her late. All she does on her show lately is talk about how hot Democrats and progressives are. Oh yeah, that's all she talks about. And she has like, I think she had someone a panel or at least a guest talking about how hot they are. Like he's going to the gym. I'll say he needs got these muscles. And then they put, if you put the picture of a son back up, now look, if you think the women weren't like, oh, Lord, look at that. But the dudes there were probably like, oh, I can't wait to get out of here. I bet like, I bet if you opened up, can you imagine, because Grindr is a location app, right?

17:18It's like a GPS you can tell, but how many years someone is next to you? I bet if you opened up the Grindr inside right after they put up Hassan's picture, it was pinging for people trying to find someone. I bet the location thing is crazy inside the convention center. I bet it is absolutely nuts. And I just think we are a new cycle or two away from people brave heroes that don't wear capes that are doing the Lord's work on the ground at these Republican events that are catfishing some unsuspecting match-slap style men. Oh, we're there. We're there. Ja'v roll it, Andy. I'm outside the Republican National Convention in Dallas, Texas under cover as a male escort to expose Republican and religious leaders and lawmakers for the hypocrites that they are, championing and writing legislation that actively make lives harder for the LGBT plus community while engaging in homosexual activities.

18:18If this is the last message that you hear from me, I'm either dead or have been sufficiently threatened. I'm gonna be utilizing grinder and escort sites to lure in unsuspecting, religious and Republican lawmakers and leaders to expose them. I'm going to be posting this all on YouTube. The details for my YouTube page will be in the description below. Wish me luck here. I'm pretty nervous. This is my first time. Hopefully Grindr doesn't crash. It's a good spot. I will keep you posted. If this is the last you hear from me, I'm either dead or scared. So I guess wish me luck. I tried to get other influencers, other content creators to try to join me in this endeavor, but apparently they're all talk. So I'm flying solo on this one. So I have no backup. Wish me luck. So I give this man a FIFA piece prize.

19:19Look, I thought it was a little, I don't know. I think it's real. I thought it was a little sort of gimmicky, but still I think people should actually do that work. I think they should be exposed. And I actually, I DMed him. I'm gonna be honest with you. I look, I hopped into his DM. You slid in the DMs. I slid in the DMs, but not for that reason. I said, if you catch a predator holler, let me know what's going on. I support it. I support every single bit of all of this. It is just, we are experiencing, we vacillate back and forth. How do people still support him? Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob. We forget this is a cult. This is a cult of people that have deep, deep, deep secrets that are deeply, deeply, deeply broken. That think that if they break other people through their recreational cruelty, that somehow that will fix them. And this convention, to me, it's like, oh my God, what a walking, breathing example

20:20is to why not to vote for these people. But I have so much PTSD from 2016 and 2024. And all of this crazy shit's been out there for 10, 12 years now. And people still go vote for this shit. And so we have to always remind, and I know you remind your audience, and I remind my audience all the time, that we can't take one thing for granted, do not take any poll for granted. We have to go out in full force and try to vote in person now, since they're jacking with the USPS. And, but I think this work that this guy here is doing, this is really good work. This is incredible. Yeah, we need, yes, we need to support folks like that. Hopefully it's real. Folks like that are real. I think you need to support it, because it's all about hypocrisy. You have people who are out here who are implementing these very dangerous, I would say laws for the members of the LGBTQ community, because people sometimes take their own lives,

21:20because they're being targeted, for just for being gay, or for being trans, or what it just for being themselves. And that is because, in large part, because the Republican parties are trying to get rid of same-sex marriage, they're demonizing LGBTQ plus people, they're being targeted, they're being harassed, they're being ridiculed, and that has a detrimental effect. So I'm not about out of people, Jen, but I am about exposing hypocrites. Me too. And let's just talk about the fact that they are, during the day, making the LGBTQ plus community less safe, less equal, and marginalizing them, and at night, they're fetishizing them so much that Grindr is crashing, and that level of hypocrisy needs to be exposed. If somebody privately is living their life in the closet, that's not in my fucking business, it's a free country. But if you're Lady Graham, the late Lady Graham, out there doing all this Bible thump, every vote you can, marginalizing the LGBTQ plus community, and then you die and all these sex workers are coming out of the woodwork saying you like to wear your red panties and hire them.

22:23This is the kind of stuff that... What about the big boobs, but go on. Oh, big kitty, Brian. Yeah, go on. Sorry, I know. But it's true. I mean, it's absolutely true. The Republicans are really good at branding people and politics is a blood sport, and they brand Democrats as lazy, lib tards and all this stuff. And we need to do reputational damage to this mega brand. And we need to go lower and just keep pounding it, and pounding it, and pounding it, because this is a political problem that is a cultural problem, and we have to do reputational brand damage to the Republican Party and the MAGA movement. So discussing the folks who are doing weird things. We don't talk about, no, seriously, the folks who do weird things, meaning they are having gay sex while demonizing gay people, that's weird to me. Not only hypocritical, but it's weird. You and I talk about the people

23:23who are actually committing the sex crimes, who are the biggest purveyors of child, you know, let's just say child sex abuse material. Yes, thank you, that's a better way of putting it. Law enforcement happens to be, well, it happens to be middle aged white men, mostly conservative, according to Tim Tibo, not according to Don Lemon, that's according to the stats, not according to Don Lemon. And very similarly, they're finding out that there's an issue with people in law enforcement. And I want to play some of this, Jen, and I want to get you to react to it. And this is someone else's reporting, I don't want to really play all of the people that they accuse of it, because we don't know the level of accusation, we don't know if it's, you know, they're accused, and it's not our reporting. So I'm just being a journalist here, but let's, here's this young lady. Here's every U.S. law enforcement officer that's been arrested for a sex crime in the last week. Well, I thought that last week's roundup was gonna be the longest that I saw this year, but this week's is longer. As always, if you'd like to help support my work,

24:24all I ask is that you comment on this video so that more people can see when there are predatory cops in their community. Also, if you know of any news media that you think would be willing to talk about this issue, please let me know, because I'm having the hardest time getting a news publication to talk about the pattern of police sexual violence. Yeah, this is not our reporting. I don't know what it is. I'm just being a journalist, and I want to make sure that I do the reporting and find out if it's actually factual, but she does this every week about law enforcement or people who are committing these crimes. I think last week she said it was very long. This week she said I thought that would be the longest one. This is longer than last week. We have a problem in this country with this stuff, and nobody's reporting on it. You and I are talking about it, but I don't hear mainstream media talking about it at all. They won't report on their, you know, they don't report on the things that some of their own are doing, Jen. And isn't this just a huge cultural problem, Don? If we look back to the Catholic Church,

25:26if we look at the Boy Scouts, if we look at the Southern Baptist, these things should be business ending. If you think, if somebody's Catholic and they're watching this, I know it would be difficult for you to hear, but for me who's a secular person, when I see this objectively, you have a network of priests across a bunch of different countries, across a bunch of different decades that molested and sexually abused and raped little boys and little girls. And then when this is discovered, they are moved to a whole new place where they have a whole new set of victims. This should have ended it. If a corporation did something like this, like Coca-Cola, it would have put them out of business. And then we look at what's happening with the Epstein files and Donald Trump, and all of these Christian supporters of him that want to lecture all of us about traditional family and we're pro-life, and we're so worried about drag queens and kids are not worried about people that are in the Epstein files

26:31and kids. They're not worried about church clergy and kids. And so there tends to be with this issue not a full reckoning anywhere in my opinion. Now I do like the new Pope, so for my Catholic listeners that are on here now, I do like this new Pope a lot. As an atheist, I can tell you I like him. He seems to be more like that Jesus guy than previous ones. But these things are really, really, really disturbing. And you think about that Larry Nasser, that guy with those gymnasts, even that Riley Gaines that wants to lecture everybody about family values and Christianity, she had a swimming coach that was accused of sexually abusing people. And she stood by the coach and then she gets some Fox news and lectures the gay community. And so this is a real problem and it seems to really live in the MAGA movement. Now are there liberals that are maybe looked at the web course?

27:34But it always seems like the call is coming from inside the house with these people. Yeah, I'm not saying that it is exclusively, but if you look at the stats, right? If you look at the stats from what we talked about with Tim Tibo and he says, we've got to be honest with ourselves about who it is and that they're actually close, that the call is coming from inside the house. And I think this young lady is actually, she raises the flag, I believe, on a very important topic. And I think many times, if you are in these positions of power, whether you're a priest or whatever it is and some sort of position of power, you're in law enforcement, you feel in many ways that you're omnipotent, right? That you can't, that the rules, you get to decide the rules that they don't apply to you. And you use your power to take advantage of people and many times it is young people and because of your sexual predilection. No, it's, it's, before I switched to Wellfront, my APY was probably 0.1. Once I switched to, with a Wellfront cash account, earn up to 4.2% APY on your cash.

28:35I can trust Wellfront is taking care of me. Make your money earn more. Get started at Wellfront.com. Clients were paid $1,000 for their testimonials for creating a conflict of interest.

Direct deposit $1,000 a month and funded an investing account for a 0.25% increase. Cash account offered by Wellfront Progridge LLC, member of Finder SIPC, not a bank. It's really, it's really, really, really sad. And the, we had a situation in Oklahoma City where there was a cop and he was accused by multiple women of like, hey, I'll let you off the hook if you do these sex acts with me. And then finally, there was a whistleblower and he was found guilty of that. But I think it's important that we understand that there are good people in these professions that are trying to do the good work, whether it's a priest, a cop or whatever. But there's also people in these professions that are using that position, as you said, Dawn,

29:37to gain access, power and an ability to exploit with impunity. And I believe that people who have positions like this, and I'm just gonna throw out the president of the United States, should be held more accountable for participating and or covering up for crimes against sexual crimes against children. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. Now people ask me sometimes, how do you turn it off? And the answer is, I don't always, especially when my work is right here on my phone. I'm always picking it up. I'm not the only one I know. I spend hours every day talking about some pretty heavy stuff, politics, violence, people losing people they love. And then the show ends and the cameras go off and you're supposed to just move on with your day? Well, I've gotten better at recognizing that you have to take care of what's going on in your life, especially up here too, right? And that's why I think therapy can be so important. Sometimes you need somebody who isn't your spouse, your family, your friend, or somebody you work with,

30:38somebody whose job it is to listen and help you work through your own stuff. And that's where BetterHelp comes in.

And JD Bans. And if we can roll this and then Jen, my jaw, my mouth just dropped to the floor. I'm like, what roller? And the criminals given free reign over our great country. And we were tired of being called racist for noticing that our country was becoming dirtier and poorer and less safe and less prosperous.

31:40Okay, so that's just a little bit, but he goes on to say that our country is becoming poorer and basic, there was dirtier and less safe because of immigrants is what he's saying. Now last time I checked JD Bans' wife is an Indian American. She is an immigrant. He has brown children. He would not have a family if it were not for immigrants. What the fuck is he doing? He's basically insulting his wife. And it's a slap in the face to her and her status as an immigrant-american. What's wrong with this man? This man is a full-blown prostitute that was purchased by Peter Teal. This man has changed his name three times as an adult and changed his religion three times as an adult. This man believes in absolutely nothing not even protecting his own children or his own wife, but this coded language of dirtier as a woman who grew up in white America.

32:40This is a word that white people are clean and brown people are dirty. And the audience that he served that up to, they know exactly what he meant by saying dirtier. They know exactly what color of skin he was referring to. And in a gobb-smacking twist of all of everything, as you pointed out, Usha and their four young children have that same quote unquote dirtier skin that he is using as racist dog whistles to a very rabid racist base period. Everybody, every white American that's grown up in white culture knows exactly what he means when he says dirtier and he's talking about skin color. And if you look, if you're Indian American, if you've, I spent lots of time in India, I was based there for a bit when I was at CNN.

33:42And the thing that I, the criticism that I got from Americans were like, oh, did you go? Did you like, oh, it's so dirty. So, right, that's, and that's, I'm like, ah, it was a different country. It wasn't America. I thought it was fine. There were things about the culture in India that I liked when I was there, that, and there were some things that weren't for me, but it is their country. And they were good people. And just like America, there are plenty of things I like about America and plenty of things I don't like about America. And America being dirty, or whatever, dirty parts of America, I don't think it has anything to do with immigrants. I think it has to do with our policies that we don't take care of poor people, that we don't instill not necessarily values, but we don't give people resources. Instead, we criticize them. We call them dirty. We marginalize them. And so, I can look, that, I can't tell you how much that infuriates me to hear JD Vance say something like that. And his wife, look, more power to her. But if someone, if someone, if Tim said any shit like that,

34:46by the time he came back from, you know, work or a listing or hanging out with you or whatever, his bags would be packed by the door, my bags would be packed by the door saying, what's wrong with you? I'm not dealing with this shit. I can't deal with racism. You know that I'm a person of color. That Tim would never do that in a million years as you know. But still, how is that even possible in an interracial marriage and someone who's married to an immigrant? I don't understand how she accepts that. And why he would do it? I don't know. If it's Stockholm's syndrome situation, I don't know what it is, but I do know this, Don. I do know that our side of the aisle is fighting for Usha and JD Vance's kids, even though we disagree fundamentally with her husband and their father. The difference between the right and the left is this. The right wants to be punitive to people. They want to exact recreational cruelty on people. And here's the thing. All of the people at that freak show convention they had

35:47were grinders crashing and they're all thirst trapping over his son, Piker and his panties. I don't like these people. I don't want to go to happy hour with these people. I don't want anything to do with these people. But here's the fundamental difference. I want all of those people in there clapping and cheering about all the racist shit, doing all the pledge of allegiance. So if somewhere down the road, somebody they love is gonna be gay or be trans or their little darling daughters gonna fall in love with a hot black man like Don Lemon and they're gonna have mixed race grandbabies. And we are here fighting for a better America for those people to have equal rights in. And that's the fundamental difference. These people don't care about this shit until it happens to them which makes JD Vance the top sociopath in the country. I think even surpassing Stephen Miller, he cannot defend his own wife and kids. And if he wants to talk about dirt and he wants to talk about filth, let's talk about the fact that the president of the United States more than likely is allegedly

36:49shitting his pants all over the place. They're on ketchup everywhere. Zeech is big, max, and filets of fish. And if you've seen all the dirt and filth all over the White House right now, this is a white trash movement that wants to blame, hardworking people that have a different skin color for their mediocrity. And it's just disgusting. JD Vance is an absolute disgrace. We should do everything in our power to continue reputationaly damaging him and canceling him off to where his only choice is to go live with his slave owner, Peter Teal. This is why I'm so surprised that I get so much flackin' and have gotten so much flack by saying that there are many people in the Magaparty who are racist. And in order to vote for Donald Trump would be part of the Magaparty, either you're racist or you have to overlook a whole lot of racism. But you're fine with it. And you're fine with it, right? It's either you're racist, you're fine with it, or you overlooked it. So if you're overlooked it, then that means you're fine with the racism. That means that you know something else, the racism wasn't high enough on your index

37:50or things that you just wouldn't tolerate in order to vote for this bigot. It is shocking to me. Jen, you know, I did something last night. You know, sometimes you just wanna be a kid again. So I'm here in Florida because I'm starting my tour with D.O. Hugley. So I'm walking down the street and there are rollerbladers like, oh my God, this is so great. And it's like, you know, oh by the way, can I just say, when Jen, when you said they'll marry a hot black man, if Jen's kids came home or married an inter- or was in an interracial mess, she'd be like, yes, thank you so much. I love it so much. Melon in my life. She would love it so much. She's a good job. I know, I know, I know. So anyway, we're out and we're walking, we're in Miami and there are rollerbladers and the rollerbladers were all going into 7-11. And I hadn't been in the 7-11 years and this is what I did, Jen. I walked into the 7-11 at like 10 o'clock at night. Here it is. So every once in a while, you got to do something

38:50that you used to do when you were a kid. Like, I don't know the last time I was here and guess what I got? It's a slurpee. Cherry. I can taste it right now. Almost over. But I feel like you're kid again. So what did the, I asked at the end of that video, what are some of the things that you used to do as a child that you would like to do? I think we should start going back to that because it actually, you know what, it was kind of a, you know, it was kind of like therapy to me. It like took the edge off the entire day, you know? What is something you'd like to do? You know, and we can do this together, don, since we both have a New York. Do you remember just like getting out on the day and getting on your bike and just going around the neighborhood to find friends and see what you could drum up because nobody has a cell for anything. So you just went out to see what kind of day you could drum up. You just free balled it all day. So the next time you're back in New York, the weather's cooling off a little bit here. We'll get on some city bikes.

39:51We'll head out to Central Park or something. Let's just go drum up some shit. Let's go see what we can find to do. Maybe we can join a street band, you know, just do some fun shit. And then we'll come home just right before dark because our parents were so non-helicopters they had to put a commercial on TV. It's nine o'clock. Do you know where your children are because nobody fucking knew because they were feral. They just sent us out into the world. I know. It's 10 p.m. Do you know where your children are? So that's what it was in my town. But guess what? Maybe 10 p.m. in the summer, if you were for me, if you were out in the family, was out and they were on the porch late and that some sort of neighborhood thing. But when the street lights came on, you know where you had to be. That bike had to be somewhere in the driveway or in the garage or wherever you dropped it in the front yard and you'd have to be in the house and you knew you're like, oh, I can smell the cooking going on. It's time to go home. Yeah, it was, there's just, yeah, there's memories of,

40:51when you had that icy and you were drinking it, I could just taste the whole thing and I remember after school, the big thing was to go to 7-Eleven and I would get chewy sweet tarts and a cherry icy and I could just, it's like Pavlov's dog. I could just when I was like, I had a reaction, my mouth started watering, watching you drink it. Good stuff. For me, it was that and sunflower seeds. Thank you, Jen. I love you, Don. I love you too. Happy weekend, happy, we'll see you soon. We're gonna do that bike ride, okay? Yeah, good luck and I'm Governor Kittenhill State. Five, Jen. Bye. Thanks for watching, everybody. I appreciate you.
