Don Lemon

Now, he could come out and say, we have an agreement,

We're in a worse place than we were before this happened.

And he is, as everyone said, and I'm sure you did too, that he's going to try to claim some sort of victory out of the jaws of defeat.

So to bring you up to speed in what we are...

What you are tuning back in for today is our president celebrated by threatening further war crimes in Iran unless they, quote, open the fucking strait.

We talked about it.

This is the president of the United States.

And you know what?

We talk about, you know, we beat up on mainstream media a lot, corporate media a lot, but I have to give credit where credit is due, and it's that my friend and former coworker, Jake Tapper, he read it exactly as written.

There were no euphemisms.

There was no cleanup, just straight from Truth Social to your living room.

Here it is.

Now, I have to give, again, credit where credit is due, but also even, I think, more insulting than using the effing word was the praise be Allah.

If you can put it back up there.

He said praise be Allah, which was, I guess, meant as a slight.

It's supposed to be, this is the holiest week of them all.

Praise be to Allah, President Donald J. Trump.

That was a slight to Islam.

So I give credit where credit is due for Jake for saying the word, but should have said that part too, because that is awful.

I'm also glad that Jake scrapped the podcast mic.
