Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hello, and welcome to Scrolling with Haley. I'm Haley Karania. Don Lemon thinks he's gonna make a good president of the United States, even better than Donald J. Trump.
Chapter 2: Why does Hayley believe Don Lemon can't be a better president than Trump?
Time for a reality check. Then Chick-fil-A fired eight employees for lewd dancing on the job. We're gonna show you the videos. You can decide if you think that this is inappropriate or not. And actually, these employees were reinstated, so... It's quite the story. Plus, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are getting a Maha makeover and so much more.

Chapter 3: What led to Chick-fil-A firing employees for dancing on the job?
Then put your phones on Do Not Disturb. The show starts now. So on Sunday's episode of Pod Save America, Don Lemon teased the idea of running for president. And I saw this on X yesterday morning and it was posted at 5 a.m. or something.
So I thought, surely this is an April Fool's joke, which is why I hesitated to cover it yesterday because I thought, well, let me just let this simmer and make sure that it's legit before I weigh in. Surely Don Lemon can't be that out of touch. Well, I'll be damned. That SOB is indeed that out of touch. Listen.
pay cut but it's not about money for me so do i ever think about it yes could it happen Yeah, it could happen if the opportunity presented itself, the right opportunity presented itself. Look, if I wanted to, I know people are going to think I'm crazy. This is going to be the headline and people are going to laugh about it. I think I could be president of the United States.
Chapter 4: What are the implications of the Reese's recipe change announced by Hershey?
I could definitely run this country better than Donald Trump.
Paper towel roll could, but yes, market improvement.
A towel roll could be the president of the United States. I don't know why people would listen to this podcast, but okay. Don Lemon is beyond delusional. He is narcissistic on a level I really haven't seen before. And in that clip, he says he could run for president. It's not about the money. He says he could run for president. He would have enough support to win.
And he thinks he could do a better job than Donald Trump. Donald Trump, the guy who won the presidency twice, despite all the odds, won every swing state, won the electoral college, the popular vote. Don Lemon is wildly overestimating his popularity. But the Democrats don't have a DEI hire right now to run for president. They don't even have any other options, really.
I mean, Kamala Harris was a total failure. And she was the trifecta, right? She was Jamaican and Indian, black, whatever they needed her to be, she would be. Of course, she was a woman. So she was great, a great DEI hire, if you will. Hillary Clinton, you know, she could have been the first woman. No one likes her. So they're running out of options here. And Pete Buttigieg, total failure.

Chapter 5: How does Tiger Woods' refusal to hire a driver affect his public image?
Nobody likes him. You know, all these polls, and not that we believe the polls, but he's... So far gone. People don't like him. He's got nothing. He's got no spark. People people aren't going to rally behind him. So unfortunately, the Democrats are in this this situation now where Gavin Newsom seems to be their only hope.
And that's that's a bad thing for the Democrat Party because he's a straight white man. So I think that Don Lemon might be soft launching this, just throwing it out on Pod Save America.
Chapter 6: What are the potential reasons behind Don Lemon's presidential aspirations?
hoping that someone from the DNC comes and saves him from obscurity. They'll just like pluck him out from his little podcast that he's doing and say, you're our you are our only hope. And, you know, he's really everything that the Democrats could hope for because he's black and gay. Michelle Obama has even said that she doesn't think Americans are ready to vote for a woman. I disagree.
I think if the woman isn't, you know, bleach-bitting her hard drive and smashing her 30,000 emails and, you know, she isn't falling out of a coconut tree, I think Americans could be convinced to vote for a woman who's not a total libtard. But whatever. Michelle Obama thinks that women aren't the way to go.
And honestly, the last two women that the Democrats have run, they were just horrible candidates, so they haven't been successful. So I think they're course correcting, right? They saw Jasmine Crockett fall on her face in Texas. They went for James Tallarico instead. And I think they're thinking, all right, you know, Gavin Newsom is the way to go. Maybe Don Lemon might be a running mate.
I'm like giddy thinking about it just because I think it would be funny. But, you know, he's black, he's gay, and then he can claim and they can run on this.
They can make a huge thing about how he was targeted, unfairly targeted by the Trump DOJ, you know, because he thinks he was just being a journalist when everyone else in the world saw that he was rightfully arrested for, you know, conspiracy to deprive individual rights and interfering with religious freedom. But here he goes talking about how he would have to pick sides if he ran for president.
And he's just such a moderate, such an independent. Listen to this.
As an independent, though, there would be a hard time for me to run for anything because, you know, the way the system is set up, I'd have to choose a side. And so, you know, I probably I probably would have to become a Democrat. And probably. Yeah. So, you know, am I at that point now? No. And I know people are going to say Don Lemon is crazy.
But yeah, look, why can't I think about running for office? Why can't I think about being president of the United States?
Oh, darn it. I have to pick sides. Darn it. I have to become a Democrat. I think I'm going to have to become a Democrat. He's not an independent. He's an independent in name only, maybe. I would highly doubt that he'd be super torn up about having to identify as a Democrat. He is a Democrat. He's been a Democrat, will always be a Democrat. So here's just a montage.

Chapter 7: What are the humorous reactions to the Chick-fil-A employee dancing incident?
So it's not like he left on his own accord because he wanted to do the independent podcast thing. And then he says he's cut out to run a network and he's getting schooled by people when he does these man on the street interviews. I don't know if you've seen these videos. I didn't want to pull too many clips of Don Lemon for the show today just to save everyone.
But yeah, he was interviewing some guy on the street about Iran. And this guy is like, yeah, I am fully supportive of Trump because, you know, I grew up in this regime and it's horrible and blah, blah, blah. And Don Lemon is just sitting there dumbfounded. Like he just gets schooled by people. And, you know, he's talking to this. He was in Times Square. This was maybe recent. I don't know.
And he's talking about, oh, Trump with this with this like black guy. And he's like, yeah, I'm a full Trump supporter. And he just keeps getting in these situations where he thinks he's going to like get the gold soundbite. And it's just not exactly what he hoped for. It's the exact opposite. And he obviously wants to be the star of the show. He's got his own podcast.
He definitely does want to be the anchor. He's still doing podcasts. man on the street interviews. He definitely wants to make content. He's wearing Lemonhead, Lemon Nation hats. He definitely wants to be the star of the show. And if he wants to be running a network, then he would certainly need to brush up on what journalism really is because he claims he would be good at it.
But this is Don Lemon talking about why CNN wasn't successful and why telling the truth won't help them.
also think mistakenly that they're going to gain an audience by trying to move a network into a certain direction and these days is to move it to the right because they believe that that audience is going to come to them because i was speaking to kevin o'leary the other night and he said well cnn has to they've got to come to the middles to gain more audience i was like you're out of your mind that's never going to happen are you like you crazy i was like those folks are never ever going to watch cnn
And they're never going to watch any network that is a factual news organization. So that's never going to happen.
He just said the quiet part out loud.
I think I'd prefer my news to be factual.

Chapter 8: How does Hayley critique the Democratic Party's current leadership options?
And to do that, you meet in the middle and you just tell the straight facts. And CNN is not doing that. And Don Lemon says, yeah, but the audience doesn't want that. And I agree. I don't think the audience wants the truth. I think audiences on both left and right
want to be told what they want to be told they don't even want to be challenged even anymore they just go to their silo where they get they go into their echo chamber and they hear exactly their own viewpoints parroted back at them and they like that and they don't want to be challenged they don't want to have a debate they don't want to have conversation and i think you know a little bit don lemon is right that is the crux of the cnn uh viewership they don't want to be told the truth
But I think it's funny that he left that network and then started telling the truth as soon as he left. He started saying, yeah, those people, those viewers, they don't they don't want to hear the truth. So he pretty much admitted that when he was there, he was lying, which we know.
But yeah, and those are the viewers that, you know, those CNN viewers, I would say and I would argue that those are his viewers now. Those are the viewers that watch his podcast probably. And those would be his voters if he ran for president. And he thinks they're so misinformed that they don't care about the truth. But here's really exhibit A as to why Don would not make a good network boss.
This was his idea of good old boots on the ground journalism. Watch.
These are resistance protesters. They're planning an operation that we're going to follow them on. I can't tell you exactly what they're doing, but it's called Operation Pull Up.
Why not?
And it's Akima Armstrong, and she has been doing this since George Floyd, Dante Wright, and others, where they surprise people, catch them off guard, and hold them to account. And so that's what we're doing here. And then after that, after we do this operation, you'll see it live. And these operations are surprise operations. Again, I can't tell you where.
You know, it's funny. I'm kind of realizing this now as I've seen this clip so many times, right? We obviously covered it when it happened and watching it back, I'm realizing that he's like, I can't tell you what they're doing. Isn't that the purpose of covering it?
