Could one of them be English today?

Melania.

She don't speak English.

Thank you, Pumps.

You can find me at thejoyreadshow.com or at joyandread.com.

Either way, it's okay.

Just come along and hang out.

Absolutely.

Well, I first want to thank the panel for having me.

It's great to be with this panel.

And thank you, my friend, Don Lemon, who I've been texting.

I am not Don Lemon's mom or auntie, but I've been texting him like, Don, are you OK?

Like, I probably feel like I text him once an hour just to make sure no one is coming at him.

So I appreciate everything you did.

I want to echo every word that Colby said, because had you and I still been working at our corporate media jobs, and I recall being sent

to South Carolina to cover the agonistes over bringing down the Confederate flag.

And it was a huge fight over that.

There were people who literally were all but chaining themselves to the Confederate flag monument and refusing to get away from it because they didn't want that flag brought down.

Can you imagine if the protesters on both sides of that issue, if Governor Nikki Haley had said, go and arrest the journalists, who I was interviewing people who were in full regalia of the Confederacy.

They were wearing their Confederate uniforms, their throwback uniforms.
