35.442 - 41.53 Unknown

Good morning, everybody. Happy Friday. How's everybody feeling? Not as cold as you, apparently, Crystal.

42.591 - 45.655 Emily

I'm doing the Emily hands here. Oh, sorry.

45.675 - 49.079 Unknown

I haven't really noticed. Is that like a thing you do normally? I haven't really noticed that.

49.2 - 52.684 Emily

Is that a habit? As a viewer, I can confirm it's when she locks in.

Chapter 2: What are the details surrounding Don Lemon's arrest?

249.899 - 270.405 Unknown

being, you know, something's going to happen. And then you can see how if you set the precedent of saying because Don Lemon knew X, Y and Z was going to take place in order to kind of follow it around, he is then an active participant. By the way, the government has informants who do that all the time. That's kind of another question. And if you start setting that precedent,

270.385 - 294.24 Unknown

It happened to a guy named Steve Baker from The Blaze on January 6th, and he had a hell of a fight to get out of that. And I just think that's, you know, as someone who's on the right and goes to protests and stuff sometimes, you just can realize how or you realize how quickly. Like, I'm open to evidence that Don Lemon was more of a conspirator if it exists. I haven't seen it.

294.32 - 314.723 Unknown

I'm not convinced by any of it. In his live stream, he says... I'm here as a journalist to document what's going on as goofy as Don Lemon is. He did make that pretty clear. And so if just getting a tip and following it with a live stream makes you complicit in a protest, I just don't honestly don't think that's worth it.

314.743 - 336.614 Unknown

You can maybe make the like a ham sandwich prosecution where you have this like technical case against Don Lemon, like he knew this was happening and because there's something in the law that Blah, blah, blah. But it's just it's absolutely not worth it because that's going to be turned around so fast, you know, on Nick Sorter or any of those other people who are bopping around Minneapolis.

336.914 - 341.021 Unknown

If there's a Democratic president. What do you think, Griff?

342.062 - 345.067 Emily

I mean, listen, a huge Don Lemon fan here. I'm jealous.

345.147 - 346.95 Unknown

A Lemonhead is what he calls them.

347.133 - 370.362 Emily

He's about to get a lot of new subscriptions. We should get one of our hosts arrested, maybe get some new traffic to the show. Yeah, obviously, it's I don't know what the justification is. Seems like Emily, has there always been like this odd sort of Republican hang up over Don Lemon specifically? Like, did he do something like what was his original sin against Trump that he can't let go of?

371.163 - 396.972 Unknown

Well, he was part of it. He was one of the most egregiously, just egregiously anti-Trump forces at CNN during Trump 1.0. He was doing those handoffs with Chris Cuomo at the height of the campaign. The CNN effort to do the apples and bananas thing, like some people will try to tell you that this is a banana, but it's an apple.

Chapter 3: What role did Tulsi Gabbard play in the 2020 election investigation?

3799.52 - 3823.572 Touré

Yeah. I haven't seen that, although, you know, somebody I really like, I believe Hawkeye was his name, who is a great liberal creator and quite often spend his time platforming other people. If he liked a post of mine or a video of somebody else's, always liberals, he would like, you know, throw them up. So give them more visibility. They banned him permanently.

3823.552 - 3838.105 Touré

And, you know, this is just, you know, a guy just, you know, fighting the good fight and just spreading good common sense messages. And it's frightening to see him get banned permanently. So that's that's been the biggest change that I've noticed in the recent days.

3838.786 - 3842.309 Unknown

Gotcha. But in case I interrupted your pitch, TikTok, where else?

0

3842.99 - 3850.977 Touré

No, TikTok and YouTube. TikTok for now and on Substack as well.
