What happened at the Jan. 6 crime scene and why is it still relevant?
Welcome, welcome to The Weekend Read, aka Welch's Lemonade. And Don Lemon is live and right outside the Capitol. One could say a crime scene that happened on January 6th.
Yeah, you're right. And the crime scene now because it's a crime that Congress is not in session, that they sent them home because they didn't want to vote on Pete Hegseth's impeachment. By the way, Jen, I kid you not. I am not. This is not hyperbole. I'm not making it up. I'm not boosting anything everywhere I go. oh my God, I love Welch's lemonade. It is my Friday treat. Most of them are young women, right? I get some dudes, the gays, but mostly like young women are like, I love the Welch's lemonade. So we're onto something here, I believe.
And we're hip with the young kids?
Yes, we are hip with the young kids.
Oh, I love it. Welcome.
Welcome. Okay.
Don, let's talk about this story. I know you're aware of it. Ed Sheeran, Macklemore, et cetera. So Ed Sheeran has lost 200,000 followers on Instagram. Macklemore then donated a million-dollar salary from the tour to a pro-Palestinian cause called And then following the backlash, Ed Sheeran and Robert Kraft, and Robert Kraft and Ed Sheeran are, you may remember, the two that tried to censor Macklemore's free speech. Now they have each donated $2 million. to humanitarian aid. But what's so interesting about this is we came across this video of Colin Kaepernick chiming in. And I thought this was really poignant. And I think your take on it is going to be equally as poignant. Kylie, play the clip.
What I hope people appreciate and take away in this moment is What Robert Kraft and what they're saying by denying Macklemore the opportunity to go out and perform with Ed Sheeran is they are willing to collude. They are openly colluding. And when we filed the grievance, it was like, well, the owners wouldn't do that. Everybody just wants to win within the NFL. And the realization is... No, they want to protect their interests. They want to protect their power. They want to protect their money. And they also want people to know that if you take an action that they don't agree with, they will come for you. And that was some of the warning coming out of the protest and some of the warning coming out of the grievance is that they will organize against you.
Don, I thought that was really interesting. He drew the parallel with what they did to him. They organized against him to silence his speech. And now Robert Kraft and NFL owners organized against Macklemore.
How much time you got, Jen? And I'm being serious because I know a lot about this.
I got all day, darling,
for you. All right. Let me go. So I know Colin Kaepernick. I produce a documentary on Colin Kaepernick. I last time I saw Colin Kaepernick was at a mutual friend's wedding. I think it was a year or a year and a half ago, maybe two years. And I know Robert Kraft. Robert Kraft and I are sometimes run in the same circles of sorts, influential people in media. And when if anybody knows about being silenced and people colluding against him, it is Colin Kaepernick. And so he has inside knowledge and he has personal experience with it. And so when the whole NFL kneeling thing was going on, I reached out to Bob Kraft and I said, Bob, you should just sit down and talk to Colin Kaepernick because I think that you two would, whatever.
And I tried to broker some sort of peace there or something, right? And it never happened with Bob Kraft. Bob Kraft did the same thing to Colin Kaepernick, or I should say same thing to Macklemore that he did, or very similar to Colin Kaepernick. he is supposed to be a person, and if I saw him, I would say the same thing to him, who believes in peace. He says he wants to broker peace. He wants peace in Israel. He's given this money to Palestinian people. He could have done that a long time ago.
How did Ed Sheeran, Macklemore and Robert Kraft respond to the Israel‑Gaza backlash?
He's one of the richest men in the world, right? He's a billionaire. He could have done that a long time ago. But in that, whatever he's saying that he stands for, That's not being realized now. He has actually made the situation worse, I believe, for Jewish people, for the people of Israel, because he's brought more attention to a subject that may have not been on the minds of many people.
