Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back.

Are it's Friday, it's time for the weekend read or welches lemonade or allegedly, I'm here with my gorgeous co-host, Don Limondon. Laura Lumer is matter than a hornet at you and she is calling you mean things on Twitter, pop this up. It's everywhere. It's on Broadway. This is breaking news to me, Jen. This is breaking news to me. You haven't seen this yet? No, I have not. Oh my God, I can't wait. Go ahead, let me know what happened. Okay, it's ironic how Don Limondon is out there calling me ugly and accusing me of being racist. Between me and Don, one of us was charged by the Department of Justice under the historic 1871 Ku Klux Klan Act following an anti-ice protest at a Minnesota church. And it was me, Democrats like Don Limondon hate that I have exposed Angie Nixon for what she is. And then she goes on to be incredibly racist. And again, calls Angie Nixon a ghetto black communist.

What do you have to say? First of all, it makes no sense. It's like, oh my God, breaking news, Don Limondon was charged by the Department of Justice under the Ku Klux Klan Act, which shows how ridiculous this case is. So thank you for making my case, Laura Lumer. She's not very bright, which is what I said. And Jen, you know, my love for women, I, you know, my love for my mom and my family, you know how I treat, well, you know, right? And so I hate calling out that people like that. I hate calling out women and being disrespectful, but I don't think it was disrespectful to call out Laura Lumer who called black women ghetto black bitches, okay? And considering the beautiful queens, right? These gorgeous women that she's calling ghetto black bitches. You've seen what she's done to her face? I'm all about treatment. Women want to get to men, whatever you want to get done to your face, but don't come here looking like a clown show and then calling people ugly names when you are ugly on the outside.

I might be jealous of Katangi Brown Jackson, which was my the reason that she got, she posted that about me. If I looked in the mirror and the thing that was staring back at me was Laura Lumer's face after the plastic surgery, I might resent these naturally beautiful people and smart people, which she went up to Katangi Brown Jackson. Katangi Brown Jackson is like Magna Cum Laude at Harvard. At Harvard, yeah. Laura Lumer changed universities because she, oh my God, she was a snowflake. I can't believe these liberals and I needed to go somewhere where they wouldn't, you know, challenge me. It's like Laura Lumer, have a seat. You're a troll. You're a troll. I've been so so big and so too small. I've been so big and so too small. You know what I mean? Like this, here's the thing about Laura Lumer. And first of all, I want to say, I don't see this as a prevailing statement that you're attacking a woman. What I see here you in all of this is defending women. I see the larger point that Don Lumer is making here is in defense, particularly a black woman. Obviously, something near and dear to you.

But the Laura Lumer of it all, normally she would just be some French character on the internet. The problem with Laura Lumer is she has, she is a phone call away from him at all times. The whole eating the dogs eating the cats, bullshit from the debate. Laura Lumer prepped him for that. Laura Lumer gets people fired from military, from she knows so much stuff about your case. I know you won't be able to comment on this, but her intimate knowledge of all that makes me think, was she the one who said, hey guys, I think you need to arrest Don on the Ku Klux Klan Act. It would surprise me, zero, if this was all her idea, because she has, she's best friends with the bunny boiler and best friends with Donald Trump. And this is just, this is bat shit crazy. You're 100% right. And as you know, you spoke in Anishley St. Clair. I spoke in Anishley St. Clair. Anishley St. Clair said there is a group of coordinated people out there who have been brought in and their job is to attack

people like me and you Jen, right? People that they deem, who are not speaking favorably of the MAGA movement, right? And just because it's good to attack people like us because the base likes it. So yeah, she might have some intimate knowledge. Perhaps we should, you know, maybe I should let my attorneys know about it. Maybe I should send that tweet. You know, this is why one of the reasons that I'm not on Twitter, because I don't know to worry about this stuff. People are talking about me all the time. All these people have no idea. And they're like, oh my God, you're trending on Twitter. Somebody's talking about you. And I'm just going, ah, about my life. Everybody. Right? And then so people like you, and I love it that you, that you're doing that. The other thing is I'm glad you said that I am speaking out for women and protecting women, which I do. And people often don't understand the method of by which I'm doing it. Because you have to point out the ridiculous. And also what I have learned as a communicator is that you have to meet people where they are with the language they understand.

So if you are going to talk shit about and call someone ghetto and they're accent, then how does that feel when someone does it to you? And so when I said in my thing, the first thing I said, in my response to Laura Lumer is, Laura Lumer is a piece of shit. And I said, there I said it, because that's the language that Laura Lumer understands. And obviously she understands it. I got her attention from saying Laura Lumer is a piece of shit. And that if I look like her, I might be jealous of Katanji Brown-Jackson or of Angie Nixon or of Jasmine Crockett, because they are naturally beautiful, talented, smart, educated women who happen to be black. And she's. Exactly. No. No. All right. And I'm sure every black woman is saying, thank God. No. Laura Lumer is a stain on white women. No question about it. Right. How do you see the before and after of her face?

Oh, yeah. It's really jarring. It's that whole mega-facing, but I think hers is gone beyond mega-facing. What I didn't realize is that people call her Jigsaw after a movie character, I think. Jigsaw, which is, I mean, I don't know. It's little, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's it. Jigsaw. It's just, it's the fact that she was better looking before. The fact that the president of the United States has this crazy ass stalker that he welcomes to be around him all the time, Natalie. And then this best friend is Laura Lumer. And we have to sit here and talk about it. So, Don, there aren't intellectual responses to this because this is dip shittery of the highest order. The appropriate response is, you're a fucking moron. Yeah. You don't know shit from shinella. Sit down and shut the fuck up and quit being a racist twat. That's basically what they understand because they're not doing smart things.

They're doing impulsive wreckage. They're impulsively wrecking everything because on the inside she's broken. She's been institutionalized in the loony bend before. The bunny boiler. We've all read the letter. She wrote to Donald Trump. She needs to be institutionalized. And sadly, we've all had to see the commander in chief drawn on and on about Hannibal Lecter and all of these other things that he claims he's tackling when all we tend to see him do is take taxpayer-funded naps and throw up gold everywhere he can. And this is just the strangest of times. But ahead of Labor Day. I say birds of a feather grift together. That's my last word. That's true. Okay. Ahead of Labor Day weekend, Trump makes this announcement pop the set. Too many non-working holidays in America. It is costing our country billions of dollars to keep all of these businesses closed. The workers don't want it either. Soon, we'll end up having a holiday for everyone, for every once, working day of the year.

I don't know what he meant there. It must change or what Natalie meant there. It must change if we are going to, quote, make America great again. So listen up, plebs. No more days off for you. Look, if Donald Trump would like to save the taxpayers some money on days off, then maybe he shouldn't fucking golf so much. Maybe he shouldn't have an entourage of secret service following him and his family around or him, especially as he goes from one course to the other to the other to the other. He complained about Barack Obama golfing. He has golfed more and vacation more than any other president, I believe, in modern history. Overall, golf expenses. Let me just, because I love facts. There are funny things about facts. Overall, golf expenses, tracking groups and government estimates a place of cumulative cost of Donald Trump's golf-related secret service detail and travel at over 70 million

to 77 million dollars during his first presidential term alone. And we've gone into his second presidential term. And I'm not even getting to all the vacations that he goes to every time he goes to Mar-a-Lago and we're paying for that. I'm not getting into all of the money they spend on secret service and people following every member of his administration around as they Marco Rubio raised money in SAG Harbor and the Hamptons. Who do you think is paying for that? I'm asking, who do you think is paying for? I'm not sure. I think the taxpayer is paying for the fuel, the plane, the travel. So if you want to save some money, clean up your own damn house. Yeah, and spin all the money on that trashy ass, tacky ass, white trash, gold that you're putting up all over the plane. And that ballroom. Maybe we start there. I mean, it's just, but you know what this is? This is an attack on the working class. Labor day is a day where we honor laborers.

And this is an attack on the working class. And it's further an extension of the propaganda started with Ronald Reagan that working class people are lazy. They're lazy. And so this lazy trope is something that they're all really leaning into right now. And I just want to point out the lazy is him. F. I've ever seen in my life is the guy who's on national television nonstop sleeping with RFK junior barking right here, which is phenomenal that you can sleep with RFK going in your ear. I listen to some ambient noise at night, but it's soothing. The ambient noise for our elderly president is RFK junior. And he sleeps on the global stage all day, every day. So that's just pretty rich. Yeah, it is. And I'm glad you mentioned like this billifying or demonizing the working class because these are the people that he's supposed to be protecting or he pretends that he cares about when everything that comes out of his mouth. And I even say that everything that comes out of his mouth because he gives like lip service

to them. So scratch that. But every pretty much every single policy or for the most part, they don't favor the working class people. The rich people, the oligarchs, the billionaires are paying less percentage wise than the grocery store cashier or the person or just the average person, the secretary or the secretary or whatever the average job is, they're paying less. All of these tax cuts benefit his wealthy friends, his policy's benefit, his wealthy friends. And also speaking of trying to limit access to the voting booth also affects working class people because people have jobs, they have to work. They need to have more access to the booth, more polling places, rather than them limiting it, more of it opportunities to vote like voting by mail, which he does and which Donald Trump is trying to restrict for others. So he doesn't respect the working class people in my opinion and through facts in not just the reporting, but in his policies.

So if he really cared about working class people, he would spend a lot less time trying to restrict holidays and voting and from them to be able to make a living wage and to pay less taxes and spend more time on trying to do it. Rather than also, Jen, this game show that he's doing with Nicki Minaj. What? Well, he, they're in, they're in cooots. The reporting is that they're going to do a game show like a grocery store or something type game show or a small business game show where she's a judge and maybe he's the host. It's, it's crazy. Nobody wants this, right? No, I don't want to see that shit. I don't want to see that. I'm off of him. Oh my God, for God's sake, Kylie, look into that. Speaking of nobody wanting to see much of Trump, Republicans are not happy about Trump but Paloza and Trump at Paloza is he's going to have a convention for the midterms and he's putting himself front and center because why not? He's a malignant narcissist and the Republicans who voted for the malignant narcissist, who

have tethered themselves to this sinking ship or rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic right now as it goes down and they're whispering in the background. They're not happy about this. Pop this up. A mess. House Republicans trash Trump's midterm conventions. Doesn't say they will blow it off. And here's what I have to say, big boys. Say it on the floor. Say it. Say it on CNN. Say it on MS now. You're welcome to come on. Well, just eliminate also known as the We Can Read also known as allegedly and tell us trash him, trash him with a microphone. Do they have the balls to say that? No, they just leak it anonymously to reporters because they are P-U-S-S-I-E-S-S. All of them. Yes. And by that she means pussy's. You use the T-W-A-T word, which I don't know as a man if I can say that. I've been. I really like it. The Brits use it. The Brits use it all the time and I really like it.

I'm trying to make it Americanized. You twat. They use that and they use the other word that we can't say a lot. See you in T. Yeah, which the kids are for the kids. It's a term of endearment. I mean, it's like, yeah, you know, I'm not saying it's not in my vernacular. But a couple of things as it relates to that. Number one, Jen, I've been in this for a long time. I went through 2016, the beginning of this. I've interviewed Donald Trump many times. And we would, people would come onto the show and they would be the biggest anti-Trumpers. And then finally when they realized that it helped them career-wise, they became Donald Trump supporters, right? In the green room, in the pre-call, in whatever having a drink with them, this man is terrible. Oh my God, I can't believe it. He's awful, blah, blah, blah. And you go, oh, welcome to the program, whatever congressperson, there's spokesperson, nice to see you now.

Donald Trump is going to say, oh my God, he's great. He's the best thing since last night. They won't say it publicly. They'll say it when the cameras aren't rolling. So you're right. Say it in person. Say it in front of a microphone. Come on this program. We'd love to have you. If that's truly what you believe. And guess what? I do believe it's what they believe. They are cowards. I believe it's what they believe because what I am hearing from my sources in Washington is that it's $25,000 I think to attend, which the whatever representative or whatever branch of government that you're in, you have to pay that money. Donald Trump is not spending or sending any money to anybody who has run for office except for Lindsey Graham's sister and that was under a million dollars. He's saving it all for him. And so they're having to go back. They just came off of summer vacation. They're having to go back. They're here this week. They got back this week. So they have one week and then they're off again for pardon me. They're off again for another week or maybe seven days. They're going back to their districts to fundraise.

Because they don't have to give any money. And they're going back to their districts to fundraise. But guess what? They're not doing either. They're not doing town halls. No. They're not doing anything public with their constituents because they're afraid of what that looks like. The optics and they know that they're going to get roasted. So number one, they're hypocrites. Number two, they're cowards. And number three, they're not representing the people they're supposed to represent. So I love this for them. I love that they voted for him and they have been such loyal foots soldiers. And they'll talk behind his back. But they will never ever say a word publicly. He has 400 million dollar war chest. 400 million dollars is a lame duck. And he won't give any out what it's done. No, no, it's going to say, but when you said war chest, war, think about this. And it relates to what we're talking about. Even the speaker of the house, Mike Johnson, who is supposed to have his own independent power of the executive branch. They're kind of equal when it comes to governing this country. They're supposed to be. They're supposed to have the war powers, right? When you said war chest, they're supposed to have the war powers.

When asked by Mauna Raju over at CNN, this was supposed to go on, whatever. And you have been touting this war and he goes, that's a dumb question. I'm paraphrasing you. That's a dumb question. Do you think the speaker of the house is responsible for an international war? Yes. Because the war, the war powers, it's supposed to go through Congress. You have relinquished your power in the legislative branch to the executive branch. So yes, you are equally as responsible for this war as the president of the United States. Because if you really wanted to stop him, you could stop him through the purse strings. You could cut off his money. You can tell him that he can't do it. You can threaten to impeach him. You have all types of levers within our government to be able to stop someone from a war of choice. A president from a war of choice and you're not doing it. So not only are they afraid to criticize him, they're afraid to stand up for their own power, the right that has been granted to them under the Constitution, they're afraid of it. So if you believe in the Constitution,

you believe in your job, you believe in your constituents, then you should be doing something differently. So yes, Mike Johnson, you are just as responsible for this war as Donald Trump and all of the other people who are afraid to call him on it or who vote against the War Powers Act. I'm sorry, Jen. Sorry. No, I love it. Well, you know why little Moses doesn't do anything. It's because he's monitoring his sons. That, but also his testicles are in the top drawer of the resolute desk right under Elon Musk kid's booger that he wiped on it. So it goes, Musk booger and then Moses might grind or Johnson's testicles. And that's why he doesn't do a goddamn thing about it because testicles are right by the kid's booger. But when I was so glad you brought all that up, but when I talk about the $400 million war chest, I know you know this, but listen, I'm talking about that's what they refer to as like campaign money that R&C won't chest. And he's refusing to spend it on anybody. And Ted Cruz, Ted Cruz, who has been so loyal. I mean, he's Donald Trump called Heidi Ugly.

He said, Ted Cruz, your dad killed JFK and Ted Cruz says, God bless Donald Trump. I mean, he goes so hard in the paint for Trump. Well, he is mad. He is mad at Republicans for not being excited about Ken Paxton in Texas. Let's play the clip. The Republicans that are throwing rocks at Ken Paxton, my message to them is enough. Stop your bitching. We had a $200 million primary and Ken won. And one of the reasons the numbers are close is because $200 million of attack ads were run against him and that does damage. You want to complain, complain in the primary. It's over. And by the way, I. I love this for Ted. I love this for Ted because Ted, you know, he likes to talk about how what a great Christian he is. God bless Donald Trump. And here he is supporting Ken Paxton. Ken Paxton is absolutely a scoundrel of the highest order. His wife is divorcing him for biblical reasons.

He's been out playing grab ass with his mistress and London all summer and it's all over the internet. I mean, this guy is just absolutely a flea bag beyond all recognition. I love this for all of them. I'm loving all of these meltdowns for Ted. Ted tweeted about me this week. Oh, he did. Yeah, Kylie's got to find it's really good. I made my day. Oh, you know, while she's popping it up, remember, he retweeted something about me. I forget what it was. And I called him out on his wife and the whole thing. All right, let me read this in my Ted cruise voice. God save us from liberal white women. I don't know this Jennifer Welch character, but she seems to be filled with pure boiling hate, so radical, so extreme that she views the rest of America as her enemies. And I read this and I just tapped my arm. And I was like, inject it into my veins, maggots, you're what a pussy.

He's scared of white liberal women. So let's review Ted. You're scared of drag queens. You're scared of books. You're scared of black people. Now you're scared of white liberal women. Could Ted Cruz be a bigger pussy? Could he don't? Is it possible? With Ted Cruz, I would say yes, it is possible. He could be a bigger pussy. I mean, Jen, have you seen Ted Cruz? I mean, he could be a bigger pussy. I don't know if you remember right after Donald Trump, a very close to the time after Donald Trump said his wife was ugly in that whole thing and they went through the whole primary. Ted, do you remember that video and that sad picture image of Ted Cruz in the call center, calling people to support Donald Trump after Donald Trump had talked shit about him.

The Resolute Desk and what's in the Resolute Desk, as you said, from Magamaik Johnson is the same thing for Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz will do anything that he thinks keeps him in power and in favor with the president of the United States. He has no convictions. Obviously, he has no convictions about the people he needs to serve because he's certainly during COVID hopped on that plane to go to Cancun and didn't give a shit about the people back home. And wasn't that, I think it was during the time, correctly, if I'm wrong, that the power grid was suffering in Texas and people didn't have power. I think that was, yeah, I think that was during time. That picture back at, put that picture back at. There he is. They're lying. Oh my god. There he is. He is such a submissive wife. He has, I mean, he has submitted to his husband Donald Trump. What? A simp. They call him a simp. Or a cuck. Yeah, I mean, whether you, not with a no, she's saying. That's right.

Okay. So here we have a video of how love that you bring the tea. You bring the tea, man. That's why I love it. It's right. It's the weekend. We've battled through another week of this fascist take ever. We're here to give the people the news with some sass. All right. So now we have Howard Letnick, who it's oftentimes referred to as Howard Nutlick. And he is sucking up to Trump on Fox News. Let's play the clip. We're going to mess with the United States of America and its economy. And you were right adjacent to our Northern border. I think it was really disrespectful. We were treated disrespectfully. And I think when you treat Donald Trump disrespectfully, you know, he knows it. And that's what happened. He did it for politics. Was he talking about Canada? Was he? Yeah. Was it Canada? They expected that they can attack Canada and that Canada should not fire back or attack back or defend themselves,

which is absolutely ridiculous. I mean, Donald Trump isn't a king. And so if you attack Donald Trump, okay, Donald Trump's not a king. The American people are supposed to be the deciders in this country. I look at, they're all simply because they're all, their husband, you're right, is Donald Trump. It feels like a husband. It feels like Donald Trump is the head of the household. And when he comes home, they are, they make him a snack, a sandwich. They're making that bacon. He makes that bacon and Howard Nutlix frying up in a pan. Do you remember that commercial? And never, never, never let you forget your men. Because I won. Anjali. Yes. Of course, I remember that. Yes. That's what it is. And then, hello, honey. Here's your dinner. I ordered it, especially for you. And it's still warm right in the McDonald's bag.

That's what they're doing every night in his apron. Howard and Ted are there servicing Donald Trump. They are, they are tradwives. The tradwives of Maga, plot twist, they're all men. Plot, plot twist. The pronouns are going to be crazy. But isn't plot twist that they're all men in the Republican Party? Yeah. Yeah, exactly. I know that you. Sounds like a standard norm for me. Did you ever have Michelle Bach win on your, on your CNN that the crazy from Minnesota? Oh, you should just Google. You don't have to do it now. Google Don Limit and Michelle Bachman, we had a row. And I think it was in Iowa or somewhere. This was years ago. And she was getting on her plane or getting on a helicopter or somewhere and then entourage whatever. And I asked her a question she didn't like and we went at it. So yeah, she's dumb as a stump. Oh, Jesus. She's back and she has some things to say about

Israel Palestine. Play the clip. The other thing that they've been accused of is famine. That Israel has tried to starve. Gazans, when it's a matter of fact, their calorie count is over 3000 calories per person a day from all of the food that's coming in. And the biggest problem they're dealing with most recently in Gaza is obesity because so many calories have been coming in in Gaza. What? She said that with a straight face. She said the biggest problem they're dealing with in Gaza is obesity. And there were so many. And there were so many. I told you she was. I told you she was dumb. Okay, I'm sorry to have to say that. She's not a very bright woman and she's not. Let's just put it this way. Okay, this is my mama raised me right. She is uninformed on this particular issue. Many other issues. And she says it as you said in front of cameras, rolling.

If you want to prove to someone of your ignorance or just how uninformed you are, keep talking. I know there's a saying. I forget what the exact quote is. If you want to prove how dumb you are or something, then keep talking. And that's what Michelle Bachman does. There's a reason that she was, I think she was running for president or something at one point is when I interviewed her and then her staff and tried to push me out of the way because I was asking her tough questions. She like, all boed me. But I think that that's the reason that she's not in office. It's a very similar reason that Nikki, what's her name? Haley is not in office. It's because their ideas are outdated. They appear to be uninformed on the issues. Or because they, I would think that Nikki Haley would know better. And so she's just saying it because she wants to gain favor with the MAGA group. But I just think Michelle Bachman just doesn't know. I just think she's not a very bright person. To say that obesity is the biggest issue in God. Too many calories in, she said. Three calories person.

Has she seen the images coming out of God? Obviously. She's seen the reports. It's crazy. It's demolished. And the kids are starving. And people are starving there. It's an absolute human rights disaster. And Michelle Bachman is one of these politicians. It always wears her faith on her sleeve. And this is something that she should be a leader on. If she is this big follower of Christ, she should be a leader on talking about the human suffering of the gods and children. But of course, as we see, the loudest, most overt religiosity does is not followed up with the kindest acts in this country, which brings me to some insane footage from a kickboxing event in Florida over this weekend. What is up? Let's see this. So they're holding up Nazi flags. People are doing sick hiles back to them. A bunch of white dudes. Kind of this fuck yeah, America, pick up trucks. Nuts on the trucks. Wastikas. Maga, they're all doing sick hiles.

And this is really exciting. The event was a kickboxing match featuring a far-right white supremacist internet personality who goes by the name Gypsy Crusader. After winning the match, he made an anti-Semitic remark about his Jewish opponent. And his supporters can also be seen waving Nazi flags and doing Nazi salutes in the crowd. And I'm going to just take a wild stab at this right here. I would think that's the majority of people overwhelming. 99% of the people in that room, if they went out and voted in 24, voted for Donald Trump. That's their big 10. What did people say? Not all the, not all mega people are racist, but all the racist are mega. So I can't say that I disagree with you on that point. And to me, it's obvious, that's where we're in America. So when people like me and like you women, right, you're liberal, I'm an independent.

But when people like me, especially black people talk about the bigotry and the racism, the homophobia, all of it, you know, gay people talk about that. But especially black people when we talk about that, people deny it. Even people like an officer tater, right? They deny that there is systemic racism, that there's systemic racism in policing, that America is not a racist country. Politicians who have run for office have said that. I think Donald Trump says that. I think mega folks say that America is not a racist country. We may not be a racist country, but there are a whole lot of racists who live in this country. There are racists who are deciding making decisions politically. For all Americans, Black Americans, every single day, minorities, every single day. We have neo-Nazis running around in khakis. We have this display at this boxing match, or whatever it is. We had the MMA fighter who said, you know, who talked about Michelle Obama. It is there.

And it is these white dudes who, by the way, you know the biggest terror threat in the United States of America, are right-wing white men. I'm not just saying it. I got a lot of flak for saying it, for basically repeating with the head of the FBI Christopher Ray, said domestic terror, white dudes, conservative. And so why aren't we doing something about that? Why isn't that the lead story every day? Why aren't we talking about white on white crime? White on black crime? This should be criminal to this sort of behavior. Yes, we have freedom of speech. But that's hate speech. We're not supposed to tolerate hate speech. It is symbolic of the time that we're in in this country. And in large part, I blame Donald Trump for it. I don't blame him for the racism, because that's already been there. I blame him for legitimizing it, for platforming it, for co-opting those people,

making them feel comfortable by being part of his coalition. So I blame Donald Trump, because he has become the imprimitor for racist. And for, by the way, if you're watching and you are a poorly educated, mega person, that means imprimitor means that you are co-signing it or making it okay. Are some people say imprimatur? I say imprimitor, just in case you don't know what it is, Google it. It means that he is not only co-signing it, that he is legitimizing it through his stature. I completely agree with you. And it's also important to point out here that groups like the ADL that are supposed to be advocates against anti-Semitism let people like Elon Musk off the hook while going after people like Mark Ruffalo who are standing up for universal human rights. So this is a real time in the country where we need rock solid moral clarity against all forms of bigotry. And anti-Semitism is really nasty and really disgusting.

And I want to remind you that the vice president of the United States of America are little smoky-eyed sociopath refused to condemn Republican Nazi group chats. Can I say something, Jan, I'm glad you reminded me of that. I wanted to say what before you responded is that, and I say this to my Jewish friends and my Jewish brothers and sisters when they tell me, you know, the left has become so anti-Semitic. Is there anti-Semitism on the left? I'm sure. Do I think that people who don't support what's happening in Gaza are necessarily anti-Semitic? No, I don't think that they're anti-Semitic. I think that they don't believe that people should be killed randomly and indiscriminately and children should be starved. And I think that's a legitimate position to have. But I tried to remind them that of what we are talking about now, of the images that we just saw, of the swastikas and all of the anti-Semitic imagery

and speech that comes and behavior that comes from the right. And I think it's more dangerous than anything than people being concerned about a war in Gaza. And I just want them to understand that because there's proportionality in everything. That's more dangerous for me. It's that are you going to go to the polls to vote for a party that is fighting for democracy, a party that doesn't necessarily overall, and isn't necessarily overall anti-Semitic or bigoted, are you going to vote for the party that is, that endorses that bigotry by not calling it out and pretending that it's not happening within their own party? I think the Republicans in Magda are more dangerous when it comes to anti-Semitism than the left has ever been and can ever be, at least from, if you're looking at history, as a guide. Well, and I think criticism of Israel is worthy. It is required right now.

I as an American citizen, I want my government criticized. I want everybody in the world to see what Donald Trump is doing to see what his advisor, Laura Loomer, is doing when she calls out Angie Nixon. I want everyone to see what DHS is doing when they kill Renee Good and Alex Prety and then call them domestic terrorists. I want them to see that they are arresting people without due process and it deserves criticism. It deserves harsh, harsh criticism and it should not be saying wash and it should not be excused. And the criticism of that is the best way to support me as an American. And likewise, what's going on in Israel right now with the provocations and genocide and war crimes in Gaza it shocks the conscience. They're killing journalists, they're killing children. People are starving contrary to what Michelle Bogwin says. It is the best thing. Truth is the ultimate, ultimate antiseptic.

We cannot not tell the truth. Ben Gavir who works in the Israeli government put on an AI video yesterday. of Palestinians on a carousel like they were cows going to the slaughterhouse. And this is really dark, sadistic stuff. And people of good conscience, of all face or no faith or all skin color. There are a lot of fascists and right wing populist forming all over the world right now. And those of us that want to keep everybody safe have to have an ethos that none of us are free until all of us are free. And so I'm not a religious person. I'm an atheist, but I feel morally called to stand up for the little Palestinian kid that didn't choose to be a Palestinian that watched their parents get killed. Their siblings be amputees. And it's just trying to find water and a meal. And I feel a calling to stand up for that kid.

That does not mean that I am antisemitic. Quite the contrary. I want everyone to be safe. And nobody to fall prey to bigotry and bigotry is that kill people. There's so much crap that we're living with and all of these horrible news cycles. I just, we all need to take a beat and realize like we all have to fight for the weakest among us. That's really the most heroic thing that we all can do. I, Ben, that was so eloquently said, I don't really have anything to add to that. I think that you're 100% right. And that is my sentiment. Same sentiments. Thank you for saying that. Thank you. We want everybody to have a fabulous, fabulous weekend. We have great. Wait a minute. Are we done? Jen? No. I thought you had a hard time with you. I do. You're producing. Excuse me. What? No, but here's the thing. Okay, listen up. The listeners of the Weekend Read. Well, just learning. We're going to have a official photo soon. We're working on that.

I'm not giving away our, are you giving away our, let's tell the people, are we announcing? What are we doing? We don't have a date yet, but we're officially going to be an official podcast. And you guys in the comment section. I mean, we want to call it the weekend read. Like, and we're going to talk about who we're reading. But you all named it, well, just lemonade. So Don and I kind of felt like it was a dog. Like my dog has 45 names. I'm constantly changing his name. He has a million nicknames. That's kind of like this podcast. And I was going to call it allegedly. Sometimes the switches live. Yeah. That's like my dogs. And by dog is Boomer. And I call it Boomer, a boom boom, or Boomi, or whatever, or hi, Boomi. Hi. Oh my gosh, you just got groomed. And then there's Barkley. And I call him Barkley. Or Bark Bark, or Bark's, or Broccoli. So yeah, but I think we should do. Why don't we ask people in the comment section on the socials in the YouTube, wherever we are. What, what, what, name? Maybe we should put out a poll. What should it be? Should it be Welch's Lemonade? Should it be the Weekend Reade? Should it be allegedly? Oh my gosh.

DJT Don Jen Talk. Shit, I don't know. Don Jen Take. I don't know. What should it be? The menu is for people. Yeah, y'all tell us. Yeah. Yeah. I'm excited about it though. I look forward to this. And I think people need a reminder over the weekend of what happened and they need a palette cleanser. And I think that's what we're going to offer them and then take them into the next week. I agree. Darling, safe travels. I love you. And thanks everybody for tuning in. And go, this week it was on my channel, but go subscribe to Don Lemon. And watch his videos. He goes live. He actually does the whole live. Because he's like a news guy at what, 10 and 5 Eastern? 10 a.m. Eastern time, 5 p.m. Eastern time on all the socials. All right. And I think it's important to make sure that you're subscribed. Because people watch us and they're not necessarily subscribers. And it subscriptions are free. So subscribe to our shows and become members too to keep independent media and independent journalists afloat.

All right. Bye, darling. Bye, love you. Love you. Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun. If we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at MintMobile.com slash Switch. Up from payment of $45 for three months, $90 for six months, or $180 for 12 months plan required, $15 per month equivalent, taxes and fees extra. Initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes me slow when network is busy. See terms.
