Okay, everybody, a busy day here for the Don Lemon Show and the Don Lemon Channel. Thank you so much. It is hot topics, as you can see, on the move. Actually, in the airport, you will probably hear some announcements or some things that you don't normally hear. But we are on the move. We're starting our DL and DL Road Show. This is the kickoff to that. That is where I am traveling to. Get ready September 11th, Florida, Fort Lauderdale. That's where we will be. Make sure you hit the like and the thumbs up. It does affect the algorithm. More people become aware of our conversation on our channel. I'm so glad that you're here this morning.

3:05Just warning. The noise may get to you because I didn't even have time to get to the lounge. It's crazy. The lines are so nuts today. Again, thanks for joining us. Appreciate it. Let me just tell you, did you see that nest that happened in Dallas or that's happening? It's not done yet. I want to get to that very quickly. Let me know where you're streaming from. Let's talk about this midterm Republican convention. I'm going to take you through for the next 10 minutes or so. I'm going to show you just how desperate Donald Trump and the Republican Party really are. They're getting. They're just desperate already. Last night, despite some issues with his shiny or yesterday with his shiny new Cotari jet, Donald Trump eventually made it to Dallas and the Republican midterm convention. And boy, did Donald Trump have a sales pitch? Wait, I'll show you a temp. Scott. Did Donald Trump have a sales pitch? The president stood on a stage while he was on national TV and promised a $5,000 dividend to every American if Republicans keep control of the house and the Senate.

4:05Now to me, that sounds like he's trying to pay for votes. That sounds like he's paying. He's like, I'm going to pay you if you vote for Republicans. That's what he's saying. So to put that in simple terms, he wants to buy your vote. Buy $1,000. Watch. Because of our economic tremendous economic success, like in history, we've never had anything like what's happening. But because of our tremendous strength and success economically, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000. Very much like a successful company will do a cash distribution to a shareholders, or

5:11like last year when I gave our great members of the military, $1,776, remember? I gave it to our military, $1,776. I can't, every time I see it, I still can't believe it. Like the first time I saw it, it was like, this cannot be real. Donald Trump says this stuff out loud. Basically, he's like, hey, look, I'm going to buy your vote. That's what he's saying. That he is going to buy your vote. That's what he wants. Now, and he said, I gave the military the $1,776 or the $1,776 of money that he wanted to give to insurrectionists to pay for the legal bills. By the way, you are paying for that. But it's not the first time that he promised cash payments. Let me tell you. He promised Americans $2,000 or $2,000 rebate during his tear policy when it was enacted, but those $2,000 checks so far have not materialized. Okay?

6:12And then reading from this, I want to read from something that I just read to this morning as I was checking on all of this. So this isn't the first time, and this is from the inquirer, the inquirer, the inquisitor. This is from Philadelphia, and choir. The Philadelphia inquirer writes today, first at the start of his second term, President Donald Trump promised a doge dividend, a pledge to take the money that Elon Musk's team would cut from the federal budget and send it to American people. Then Trump moved on to a tariff refund, a plan to use the money the government was collecting in import taxes to fund payments for the public. Those never panned out. And nevertheless, it goes on to say, and then basically writes about exactly what we are telling you right now. For the less, Donald Trump is promising $5,000 to buy your vote. As someone said in the chat, it's a bribe. Sounds like a bribe to me, my opinion, it sounds like a bribe.

7:12So forget lowering your grocery bills, forget your health care, forget fixing the housing crisis, forget anything about affordability, taxes, actually explaining how you're going to make people's lives better, I'm going to just pay you to vote for Republicans. And you saw the people, or you heard the people in that crowd cheering him on. I mean, it is shocking that no one at the Republican Party right now, this mega party, will do anything to win. So apparently the new campaign strategy is how about five grand? And then hopefully everybody's going to forget the mess that we have created in this country. JD Vance was questioned about it on Fox News. Here it is. But what the president is talking about is fundamentally a dividend for American workers. We're taking in an extraordinary round of revenue because the President of the United States is actually standing up to both foreign companies, but also foreign countries who've been taking advantage of America's workers for pretty much my entire life.

8:12All of these tariffs, what is a tariff Brett? A tariff is when the President of the United States says, if you want to undercut the wages of American workers, if you want to ship American jobs overseas, you're going to pay a big fat penalty when you try to bring that stuff back into the United States of America. Those penalties have generated a lot of revenues. They've helped us pay down debt. What the President is just saying is if you keep it going to the American people, if you keep us in power and allow us to continue to do these things, then you're going to share in some of the benefit of this incredible wealth that we're creating in the United States of America. I don't think it's a controversial idea. It's actually the President of the United States saying we're all working together. We're all on the same team. If we continue to create wealth, that wealth is going to go back to the American people. Okay, okay, okay, okay. That was Andy. That was the end of the clip, right? Yes. Okay. This is, I have been telling you since JD Vance came onto the scene and his new brand new persona, which is a MAGA or whatever it is. I've been telling you that JD Vance is kind of like Candace Owens and others.

9:17You think they're smart. They just talk fast and don't really say anything, especially JD Vance. At least Candace Owens has her point of view, which pretty much stays consistent, except now she's anti-Trump, but she wept in before. But now she's anti-Trump. So smart, couldn't figure out that Trump was a lying bullshit artist, a grifter. And JD Vance is the same thing. So JD Vance is in the same vein. He's a grifter. I want you just seriously, I want you to listen to JD Vance because JD Vance says a whole lot and says nothing. What they say, talking loud and saying nothing, I'm going to play a little bit, play it again Andy for them a little bit, but talking fast and saying nothing. Just listen for a little bit and see if you get, you pick up what I'm putting down. Well, the president's talking about as fundamentally a dividend for American workers. We're taking in an extraordinary round of revenue because the president of the United States is actually standing up to both foreign companies, but also foreign countries who've been taking advantage of America's workers for pretty much my entire life.

10:20All of these tariffs, what is a tariff Brett? A tariff is when the president of the United States says, if you want to undercut the wages of American workers, you want to ship American jobs overseas. Okay, you're going to pay a big, it's right. What is all that mumbo jumbo, whatever, explaining what a tariff there is? Like we have talked about countries around the world where corrupt politicians show up around every election time. They're handing out cash or handing out food, they're handing out favors, whatever it takes to secure political loyalty. Americans look at that and say, oh my gosh, that's not democracy. Look what they're doing. Look at what Erdogan is doing. Look at what other, and these are people who Donald Trump love. Look at what Vladimir Putin is doing. Look at what all these strong men are doing. So what the hell do you call this? It's very same thing. You know, like Vladimir Putin who wants to be president for life has been president for a long time, and that's what Donald Trump wants. Now legally there is an important distinction here, okay, because Trump isn't literally handing out voters $5,000 in exchange for their individual votes. But this is like, you know, what white collar folks do, or I don't know if they still call

11:22it white collar crime or whatever. But anyways, this is not, I don't know if it's criminal should be. So he's not exactly handing it out. They're finding a legal way to do it. You know, the people in charge, the oligarchy, the people who are in charge, right? The power structure of the state will find a legal way to make something illegal legal. They'll find loopholes. I think so, this is like a loophole to me. The proposal would apply broadly. And experts say that Congress would have to approve the money. And I think that's why you did not get your money that, because Congress is saying you just can't promise these things. But politically, come on. But the Republicans win. If you win with us, you get $5,000 if you are with us and we win. You're going to get $5,000. That is the president of the United States explicitly. I believe trying a massive government payout to his party winning an election. So and then they'll come up with the thing saying if you're only getting it, if you're

12:25a Republican, I don't know. But we'll see. Here's the other part that he can be intently forgot to mention. Where the hell is all of this money going to come from? Because giving roughly $270 million American adults $5,000 could cost more than $1 trillion. And what does that do? That then adds to the national debt. So basically, to me, it sounds like you are paying for your own rebate and refund. That's basically what's happening. He's offering money. You're going to get a chunk of money but then end up paying for it in taxes. So in case you're wondering, this is not Donald Trump reaching into his own pocket, he's offering your money, you, your money, and then he's expecting you to thank him for it at the ballot box, rather than just having a free and fair election and you keeping the money that you would otherwise pay in taxes.

13:26So think about how insulting that is. He thinks that your vote has a price. He thinks that your anger has a price. And he thinks that your memory has a price as well. And that should bother you whether you are Republican, whether you're Democrat, whether you're independent or anything because elections should be about earning your vote. It shouldn't be about someone who wants to buy your vote. That's not what this should be about. But apparently Donald Trump doesn't care. So make your case, defend your record, tell Americans what you're going to do is how, that's how it's supposed to be. But when your closing argument becomes for the next 10 minutes, when that, when your next closing argument becomes, hey, if you vote for me, I'm going to give you some dough. That's how you show. There's a better way to buy blinds, shades, shutters and drapery. And it's called three day blinds. Three day blinds is the leading manufacturer of custom blinds, shades, shutters and drapery.

It's how desperate Donald Trump's and the Republican Party are getting. That's how desperate he is getting right now. It's really quite unbelievable. It's really quite unbelievable.

15:31I'm sorry, but that's Donald Trump in his closing argument when he is spending money on this, what he talked about. This was his pitch about why you should vote for him and allow him to do this $5,000 thing or whatever it is or vote for the Republican Party because he says I put my party back in power, there might be a $5,000 check. Roll this. It's about building a ballroom. Angels because it's numerous exchanges at more than one and it's been amazing. Do I get credit for it? No. Do I get credit for building a ballroom with my money? I'm the only one. I build the ballroom. No money, no tax. I don't want tax money. I don't want anything. I've been a bunch of patriots. They put up lots of money to build this, which is definitely needed. And it's going to be beautiful. And everyone's going to say, oh, thank God. No, it's going to be beautiful. Zero tax dollars for the ballroom. Zero tax dollars.

16:32And what happens? I get criticized. Is this the most incredible thing? Anybody else would do that. They say, what a nice gesture. So I'm giving you a ballroom free of charge. Okay? That's all I can tell you. It will be the most beautiful ballroom anywhere in the world. It'll be the best. And it's, by the way, drone proof, bullet proof, everything proof. It's got glass, this thick, six inches thick, it's going to be great. It's going to be a little safer than the place that we happened to. What does it have to do with you? How does that help you? He keeps saying that this ballroom is free to taxpayers. Private donors are paying for the ballroom itself. But taxpayers are paying hundreds of millions of dollars as well for security and infrastructure connected to that project. So it's not just that. Again, lying, lying, lying. I want to bring in now Congresswoman Sydney, Kamlaugher, Dove, California. She is in Dallas now at this R&C convention, the counter programming to this R&C convention.

17:35So this ballroom is going to have drone proof and bullet proof. It's going to be beautiful. That doesn't save me on my taxes. That doesn't help me at the grocery store. I was in the grocery store yesterday. I love seeing the lemon head lady who works there hugging me. But even she said, damn, the prices are expensive right now. And Congresswoman, how is this not a bribe? How is this not buying a boat that he wants to hand out $5,000 to every American if you vote for Republicans? Yeah, well, one thing he didn't say when he was talking about that ballroom is that it, I guess it's not going to be idiot proof. But the American people. I love you. The American people actually, they don't want a payout. They want a partnership with their government. And this guy is coming up saying, hey, maybe if all of these things happen, you might get a $5,000 check. Well, this is also a guy who's responsible for sharing empty promises upon which he's

18:35never delivered. You know, Democrats are here because we want to build an affordable America. That is what the lady at your lemon head at the grocery store was essentially coinciding with you about. That's what my constituents are talking to me about. They want gas and groceries to be less expensive. They want to afford housing and they want to afford health care. And they haven't been able to get it under this administration. Meanwhile, it sounded like a quid pro quote to me, right? If you guys do this, I might give you a $5,000 check. Well, he sort of promised, he didn't need to promise a dose dividend. Didn't he promise a tariff refund? The only folks that got the tariff refund were the biggest corporations. It wasn't he talking recently about a $2,000 check to families and now he's saying $5,000. Well, hey, maybe if you stopped your disastrous policies, if you stopped wasting the taxpayers' dollars on all of these edifices that you want to build in your name, right?

19:35Because you want to be a baby tyrant, then you wouldn't have to get on stage and sort of coerce people to vote your way, which I also thought was incredibly ironic, given the fact that he's trying to suppress people's votes with the Save America Act that he's trying to push. So ultimately, we don't need a payout. We need a partnership with our president and an accountable governor. So hey, homie, why don't you get on the stage and talk about how you're going to be a better partner to the American people? How you're going to get us out of the war? How you're going to drive prices down? Gas prices, fertilizers, fertilizer costs. Talk about that, boom. White, build up HUD. So people can get vouchers and people can get support to buy a home. How about that? He was talking about, oh, I'm so, I'm such a great negotiator. I negotiate deals when we don't even need deals. And did you also hear Don when he was sort of alluding to the fact that he and Scott Besson and Howard Ludnick are in these meetings, making these deals, helping himself?

20:40I'm starting. I just wanted to unmute them in the airport and it's kind of loud. No, I heard, I heard all of it. But every time I hear it, it's shocking. And those people applauding, I have to, I've got to tell you, first of all, you're right about everything that you said. But I wonder how these people can be so gullible. They are the marks. They are the marks. And they're applauding and yelling and they don't realize that this money that he's promising them is actually, they're going to pay for it. He's going to give them the money and they're going to pay for it with their taxes. So they're not really not getting anything. Nothing is free. We all know this. So you could, you know, let's play this out, game this out. Maybe you do get a check. Well, inflation is going to go up. And who's going to get the check? And is it commiserate with your economic pain? Are the corporations going to also get it? Are they going to get it first? I mean, what's going to happen? This is a person who's responsible for one quarter of our national debt.

21:41And essentially what he was saying was, I'm going to have the debt go back up. Now in my community, people are saying, hey, dude, I don't need that kind of a check. I actually need access to opportunity so that I can maybe earn that money, grow that money on my own where I have more control over it. And inflation is down and prices are down. It doesn't help if you're getting $5,000. You know, when you, when we've spent $72 billion on gas since the start of the Iran war, which is unnecessary and illegal, why don't you give that money back to the American people? How about that? Wow. I guess we should not be surprised. I did not yesterday, we were talking about his lies, Congresswoman, about 9-11. And I mean, it's so insulting, especially as a New Yorker. It should be insulting the Americans just in general. But as a New Yorker, talking to people on the street, the people were just tired.

22:44They said, well, what do you expect now? Yeah, it's insulting, but we don't expect anything other than that from him. It's really sad that we're in a place where a president can make up a story about 9-11. And then you have the media going, well, you know, he said he was in there. It was a few days after it's a, that he was in the vicinity or he went down a couple days after. First of all, I had someone who was involved with 9-11, okay? Who called me this morning and said, Don, oh, he texted me and said, Don, I need to talk to you about this 9-11 thing because it's really bothering me at this ground zero thing. And he said, I worked there and I was a civilian. He said, no one who, if you were not an emergency worker, a personnel, anything like that, if you are a private citizen who wanted to help out, you could not get anywhere near 9-11. You were outside of a perimeter. And he said, there is no way when Donald Trump said that he had hundreds of workers in there. He said, there's no way he had hundreds of workers in there. It's a, so not only is it I got pulled out of an elevator or whatever they said,

23:48are yanked out of a building or whatever he said, but to say that he had hundreds of workers there, working was also a bold face lie according to this person who worked. 9-11 said, do you have to show your identification? So workers, this randomly sending workers saying, I'm going to sit him down there. They said, that was not part of the plan. Is something wrong with him? Yes. You know, this is a president who is pathological, but he's also divisive, deceitful, and delusional, right? Divisive last night, I don't understand what the culture wars have to do with the fact that gas in my district is $8. So why he and these other speakers needed to bring up culture stuff makes no sense to me. He is deceitful because he is lying about the fact that we are in an affordability crisis right now because of him. And he is lying about 9-11. And then he is delusional because he just makes up his own reality, because he is out of touch with the reality of the American people.

24:48I still remember where I was when 9-11 hit. You know, I was in Los Angeles, but I lived in Brooklyn and I had friends that lived in New York. I had friends that actually worked in the World Trade Center. And you could not go anywhere. Do you remember when the towers came down and the plume of smoke that was everywhere? Giuliani was not letting random people because he was the mayor at the time. He wasn't letting random people there. We were trying to find bodies. And if anything, this would be a time to honor first responders and to figure out ways to continue to support them. That was a traumatizing experience that led to a number of conflicts that we ended up getting into. You know, in hindsight, we shouldn't have gotten into. We honoring those folks and actually working to support policies that would benefit them. But he is a revisionist because he is delusional and he is out of touch. And the people that are here in Dallas shuffling their tired asses into this convention center,

25:50they look as worn down as everybody else, but they're also in a complete fog. And the majority of the people that I talk to are just what you said. They are exhausted. They are tired of a president that they can no longer trust. Now, I remember when we've had the bushes, we, you know, Reagan, I mean, it was before my time, but you still I know you still believe. I mean, I know, I know, I know I know I know I don't know for my was a baby, but you, you still. The president still had integrity, right? Even if you didn't support a lot of the things, even if you didn't believe some of the why they were doing some of the things, but they still had integrity. Now people are exhausted and you should not be exhausted with your government because you run the risk of becoming apathetic. And this is a time when people have to be engaged and enraged all of the time as we get to November,

26:50so that we can put more checks and balances on this guy, but he is delusional and pathological and hurtful to the many men and women who lost family members and friends in 9-11 and to the many men and women who had first responded to were going in there trying to find people and recover lives. It's insulting to look, it's just so you're right, but this is insulting to my intelligence and your intelligence and everybody. It's like, come on. Come on. Now look, I feel like I'm talking to like one of my girlfriends and my sister and I was like, I was going to say, girl, did you see? Did you see Tim Scott? I mean, yes, girl. Yes. And don't you think you're like, it's always got to be one of us, right? Oh my God, but all what is it? All skin folk and kin folk. I'm just saying. So, but listen, I need one minute because I got to get a word in for responses. And then I need you to talk to me. Please, Congresswoman, about Tim Scott.

27:51Okay. A word from our sponsors. We're back. 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 like 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. But 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. Somebody whose job it is to listen and help you work through your own stuff. And that's where BetterHelp comes in. BetterHelp makes therapy accessible online. And they can match you with a licensed therapist based on what you need. And if you, if the first therapist isn't right for you, you can switch it anytime.

Look, I think we, Congresswoman, Cindy Conn logger, Dove joins us. I think we need and not I mean this in a serious way. I think we need therapy more than ever now because we are living inside of Donald Trump's whatever it is that's happening in his head. But did you Tim Scott? Yeah. Ciao. Ciao. Yeah. Anyway, look, roll it. And then we'll talk. Okay. Here in Texas, you got James Tallerico. James is terrible. James Tallerico claims there are six genders. He believes God is non-binary. He thinks God needs special walk pronouns.

29:54But Texas, we know who God is. We're talking about Jesus. I said to King of kings and Lord of lords, the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. That's our God. And I said, oh, I said anything. He said, I know you any came down from the temple mountain. He annoyed at the Republicans. What the fuck is wrong with this man? And why are they attacking? They're going back to this whole transgender LGBT. They are desperate. What's wrong with him though? What's wrong with him? Well, there's so many things, so many words. A, Jesus is the biggest victim of identity theft with these Republicans. Okay, because they are always calling out Jesus. And the Jesus that I know would not support cutting healthcare,

30:55would not support cutting Medicaid, would not support cutting WIC, would not support an unnecessary war that has caused our prices to go up. The Jesus that I know would be supporting education in communities across the country and wouldn't be worried about who you love. The Jesus I know is worried about if you're healthy and if you're safe. So it's obvious that Tim Scott is trying to figure out if he wants to be, you know, a Baptist preacher for Halloween. It is coming up soon. And it's also quite obvious that they are running scared of the Democrats and James Tallerito. And Kim Paxson is running scared because he has a terrible record. So they can continue to talk about James, but James is working to talk not just to Democrats, but to independence and Republicans. And they're thinking to themselves, well, Texas is supposed to be Ruby Red. And hey, we've got problems with the polls. So we're gonna send out the fake Baptist preacher so he can do a step in fetch it kind of deal

31:59and try to be disparaging about a candidate. But it's shame on Tim Scott. He should not use his color and his history and his legacy to go on stage and act like that. Hey, it's Kelly Rowland. You may not know this, but I have Exama. So I get how it can steal your time. But why let Exama take over when you can talk to your doctor about Epglyce? Epglyce, Lebrichizama, LBKZ, a 250 milligram per two milliliter injection is a prescription medicine used to treat adults in children 12 years of age and older, who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40 kilograms with moderate to severe Exama. Also called a topic dermatitis that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin or topicals or who cannot use topical therapies. Epglyce can be used with or without topical corticosteroids. Don't use if you are allergic to Epglyce. Allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. Eye problems can occur. Tell your doctor if you have newer, worsening eye problems. You should not receive a live vaccine when treated with Epglyce. Before starting Epglyce, tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection.

33:00Pay partnership with Lily. Respect your time. Ask your doctor about Epglyce and visit Epglyce.com or call 1-800-LilyRX or 1-800-545-5979. There's so much crash. I should just... I mean, let's just put it this way. I just love you. Like these, these, these just loves Donald Trump, right? But Congresswoman, he is just bad at this. I mean, beyond just the whole thing about, because this is performative Christianity to me. This is because God doesn't care about your politics. God doesn't care if you're a Republican. God doesn't give one who, if you're a Republican, he doesn't give one who, if you're a Democrat, he doesn't care. What he cares about is what you're gonna do for the least of these. How are you gonna help your brothers and sisters? Not raising their taxes. And you know, you know that whole thing about a rich man getting into heaven, right? And a camel through the eye of a needle, okay?

34:00He's just bad at this. And here's proof of how bad he is. By the way, hit the like and thumbs up. If you agree, the Tim Scott is bad. Rollin'. We will not back down. We will not grow weary. Are you with me? Yeah. I said, are you with me? We will keep the majority. Because, because, have a seat, have a seat. I'm almost done. Oh, God. I'm almost done. Because we are one nation, always under God. We are always on the side of truth, family, and freedom. Now, Republicans, let's go to work.

35:00Thank you. Thank God. God bless. Oh, our United States of America. You have the floor, man. I know. You have the floor, man. I don't know what to say. There's so much to say. I find it blasphemous. I do know what to say. Why do they use God like that? I'm sorry. Like I said, it's identity theft. And God should actually file a complaint against the Republicans for using his name the way they do. Let me tell you, Don, we have a bipartisan prayer caucus, and they do prayer, and they read scripture, and Republicans show it. They tap me. They're like, Hey, how can you don't come to this? And I say because I have a hard time praying with people and reading scriptures with folks who then I see go on the floor and vote against all of the things that you are reading about in scripture. So, okay, Jim Scott. So the big ugly bill.

36:00Okay. Why would you pass that if you were so beholden to your faith and to Jesus? Because he was focused on the most vulnerable, the weakest. And he said, I'm here standing with you. So tax cuts to the rich. So, you know, permanent tax cuts to giving tear free funds to the largest corporations to working and making deals with the richest of the rich, while you are making the lives of American people more unaffordable. I mean, these are folks who get up every single day against all of the things against all of the odds against this rising unaffordable ability. They get up and they find a way. And God is in their camp. God is giving them the strength and the resilience to carry on and to get up another day to find a way how to put food on the table for their children and to make sure that their kids are getting to their classrooms safely and on time

37:01and have the clothes on their backs that they need. So we should be uplifting that kind of God with a government that sees them, that sees our constituents not listening to Tim Scott, like you said, it's like an SNL cold open. Well, ain't nobody got time for that brother Tim, okay? And I wish he just show up to a CBC meeting one more time so he could get anointed by us and we could tell him what the American people want. Because they want an America that they can afford, like I said, they don't want to pay out. They want a partnership with this country and they need a government that says we are going to hold you accountable. That's what Congress is about to send it into house. Check some balances on a pathological president. So hey, Tim Scott, get with that program. Congresswoman, people are on the things saying can you have her on at least once a week because you're going up? I know that I want to play for you, but I know that we're a little bit late.

38:01And I also want you. Are you going into the, have you been inside the convention? I don't have $25,000 dollar diamond to get up in there. A, although I guess I could because I've been vaccinated. So I would be safe if I got up in there, but no. The short answer is I'm not going in there. We're doing our counter programming outside. Well, they don't have $25,000 either, but somehow they're, they're, they're, they've got some folks in there. By the way, a lot of the seats were empty last night. I don't know if you saw that, but I want to, he's, he's got some words for Democrats. And I also want to ask you about John Federman. Just give me one minute, okay? Okay. Okay. Word from our sponsors. 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. I talk about polling numbers a lot, all kinds of things, things, statistics, everything. But when was the last time you checked your blood pressure? Because here is the problem with that.

39:01High 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. If you're 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-LIFE.com and use my code, which is done. D-O-N for 20% off. Try it risk-free for two weeks. And if your blood pressure doesn't come down, you get a full refund. That's 120life.com and the code is done, women. These statements have not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

Okay, so Congresswoman, Cindy Kamalagra, Laura Dubb is back with us now.

40:03Okay, here's the thing. Donald Trump and then we'll talk about betterment and I'll let you go. Donald Trump last night, he had a few words. Here it is. Cheap. There's no other reason. But you have to admit they're really good at this stuff. They come up with more excuses. They say it's important not to have voter ID because it's extraordinarily difficult for some people. It's they have more bullshit than any human beings on the side. So you. Democrats are. Do you come up with stuff and more bullshit? He wants to give $5,000 to people. He's bribing Americans to vote for him. What the. Can I say what the fuck is he talking about? Yeah, yeah. Change the diaper dawn. So. I, you know, it's interesting because he was really on this.

41:05We have to pass the Save America Act. He's just all about suppressing the right to vote. So he's like, oh, we, you know, we don't we want anyone and everyone to be voting. No, first of all, there's very little election fraud that's going on. Second of all, people don't wake up every day and say, hey, you know, what do. Hey, Boogie, I'm going to commit a crime. Let's go vote. And we're not supposed to know when I haven't heard anyone ever tell me that that was the crime that they were cooking up. And our election facilities are incredibly safe. I mean, we're doing a tour in LA County in a couple of weeks to look at the facility. And it is it is safe. And it is okay to vote by mail. This guy's voted by mail twice. And another thing. The Save America Act would complicate people like me who have a hi-tenated name. Once we got married, it would complicate me from being able to vote. And then he says, put your ID, a copy of your ID in the mail. Okay, identity theft fraudsters that pull things out of the mailbox so they can steal your identity.

42:09Is that what we are supporting now, especially with our seniors? No. So this is just proof positive that this guy is running scared because his, he knows that his poll numbers are in the toilet and his policies have sucked. And they have not made life more affordable for Americans. Well, he can say we're full of BS all he wants to. I've taken a colonic. So okay, I'm not. And I am telling the truth to the American people because the American people are telling all of us that they want to change. Thank you. That was vivid. I don't think anyone has ever said colonic on the end. So okay. Now I want to know we, we, we, we, we tried to figure out what's happening with Tim Scott, who apparently has lost his mind. Mine. I want to know what's going on with this gentleman.

43:09And this is, yeah, John Federman. A big, we move Republicans in Dallas. Yes, I'm Senator John Federman, Pennsylvania. Yes, I'm a Democrat. Why am I here talking to you today? Because well, I'm a comment-sense Democrat. I'm always going to stand with America. I'm always going to reject the extremes and socialism in that anti-American way of life. Dave McCormick is the kind of Senator that gets the job done. And he's going to fight for Pennsylvania. I'm proud to count him as my friend. And I'm going to fight back over my shoulder. That's the iconic US steel mill. And that's exactly the kind of thing that will work together and will work with President Trump to fight and defend the steel way of life right here in the steel valley. Okay. Number one. What is he doing?

44:10And number two, this, if he does switch over whatever this makes a map, dip more in typical 26 for the Republicans. For the Democrats, excuse me. Yeah, yeah. So he did say why is he here? That is a question. Why are you here, my friend? So you asked me this hard question. I don't know what's going on with him. We know that he had a stroke and he's probably still in recovery. And I'm hoping that he gets better. And I'm hoping that the voters in Pennsylvania are really thinking about who they want to serve them as their Senator. And what we do know is, real talk, that we all have a little bit of socialism in this country. If you're going to a public pool, a public park, if you're going to a public school, if you're going to a public library, if you're going to the courthouse, if you're calling 911, if you're getting help from a fire department, if you're driving down freeways and highways and using street signs and streetlights. You know, that's a form of socialism. We all pay into the kitty and we all get regardless of how often we use the services.

45:14So miss me with that, John Federer. I'm in. And common sense, Democrats are really interested in bringing back light industry and manufacturing. And we want jobs. We want jobs across this country. We want small businesses and large businesses. So I know what he was really talking about. Now, I know he did send out some statement that said he's been a lifelong Democrat and he'll be the 51st vote for whom might be the real question. But he said he said that came with a caveat. He said, Democrats have gone so far. They've gone like socialists, whatever. And then he said unless Democrats don't support Israel. Then he said if they stop Democrats, stop supporting Israel, then he's out. Right. Well, at the end of the day, I think the most of the people that I talk to when I get up in the morning are like, Hey, Congresswoman, what's up with the price of this gas? What's up with the price of these eggs? I remember going to the routes and sitting there with two standing there were two older women who were like, yeah, girl, what we going to do for Bingo?

46:18Ditto, Ditto. 15 dollars for eggs. And they paused. And then they decided to walk away and not buy some eggs. So that's what the American people care about. They're not interested in labels. The only labels, John Federman that they're interested in is the price tag on the food and they would like those labels to be a little lower. So I wish he hadn't done that. I wish he was talking about affordability and the cost of living and how much more expensive it is. And maybe what he had done to bring jobs back to Pennsylvania. That also was very performative and provocative and unnecessary and distracts, you know, us from talking about the things that people people care about. Yes, people want bipartisanship, but Republicans have been complicit in this madness. So they have shown that they don't want to be good partners right now. Well, I will say this with you with the Ralph's reference California. I'm picking up what you put in down.

47:19I don't want to get in trouble with you nor your team. I've kept you way too long. And thank you. I know they I think they're mad typologies. I'm going to say you got some. Did you tell them tell them I tried to tell them it was your fault. I will tell them is my phone. I'll be like, you know, a team is I will say that anyway, but they know I love it on your show. Thank you. We love having you on the show. Come back. Thank you. I mean, the lemon has everywhere I go. The people in the airport. They're like, oh my god, I'm lemon. And whatever. So but they want you back every week. So I got I'm going to let you go. Thank you. Come on. I appreciate it. I don't know what's happening with my camera. Bye. She is in Dallas with this mess. She said she can't go to the actual convention because it is a mess. Well, $25,000. She does not have it. And I completely understand that. So what do you think of all this mess as my camera keeps going out? What do you think of this entire mess? It is a mess. And let's see. What do we do? We have something new. Is there some breaking news that I have in there that I don't see?

48:20I'll see any breaking news. Nothing is in there. Okay. Is that it? That may anything producers. Am I good? Just this headline that's up. Oh, this voting map in Missouri. Okay.
