Don Lemon 0:15
look at that five o'clock eastern time on the east coast and this is lemon live at five i'm don lemon thank you so much for joining us make sure you hit the like and the thumbs up it does affect the algorithm more people become aware of our channel and our conversation that's really important to us also uh becoming a member of the show as well So that was my old school anchorman. Look, this is going to sound a little bit interesting. Maybe throw you off a little bit because, look, I know that people like to say, oh, why are you guys talking about race so much? Everything is about race in this country. Pretty much everything is about race in this country. Now, I want you to take a look at this bullshit that's happening at the White House.
Don Lemon 0:53
Look at this video and tell me if you think that the black president would get away with this. Because people are worried about, oh, it's a black man who's going to be president. It's got to be the hood. This is some ghetto hood bullshit. And it's not even, I can't even say that it's ghetto fabulous, because there's nothing fabulous about it. It looks like a roller coaster. You guys know what this shit is? Can you imagine if Barack Obama had desecrated the White House like this? They would be going crazy. I mean, remember when he said, I would like some Dijon mustard. And they were like, oh my gosh. Oh, he's so haughty. But basically, they were saying he was uppity. And then you have this shit at the White.
Don Lemon 1:35
I mean, everything is about race. You just don't want to talk about it like Jennifer says. White people just don't want to talk about it. Everything is, can you imagine? Look at this. It looks like they're getting ready. Do you remember when the carnival would come to town when you were a kid? And you'd hear them banging the tracks together. And you'd go on the ride. And your mom and your parents would be sitting there going, you couldn't pay me to get on that shit. Because they'd take it up. They assemble it and disassemble it every other week, however long the carnival's in town, and they're on to the next town. The carnival is in town.
Look at that.
Don Lemon 2:08
Outrageous. Outrageous. Now, look, this is what someone did a rendering of it, what they think it's going to look like. They had nerve. I'm serious to talk about it because they never said anything about Biden and how he was going to decorate the Oval Office. And I remember Obama decorated it. Michael, I think it was Michael Smith. Michael did. Michael Smith did it. It was beautiful, beautifully done, very tasteful. But look, can you imagine? Look at this. It is this is some ghetto shit, y'all. And I mean, hood. I mean, trailer. Oh, yeah, I said it. for real for real i'm not saying just because the ufc that's not what i'm saying anything about the ufc you can do with that your own self this could be a fair a carnival or whatever and remember brock obama used to invite um black artists to the white house i mean john legend they were like oh the rappers are in the white house it was desecrating the whole oh my god so everything really is about you know what
Don Lemon 3:13
And let's just show you this. So let me see. Uh, let's see Barack Obama's oval office. Let's see. Let's see. Um, this was Biden's, but similar. Oh, let's see Biden's. Let's see Biden's. I'll see Biden's. Okay. Very tasteful. Got the gold curtains. That's fine. Um, and that was the look at this under Trump. Oh, come on y'all. Look at Biden. Very clean taste. Look at this tacky shit. Look at this. You may as well on that. You may as well have put some plastic on those couches. So I'm just saying there's a difference. There is a difference. I can't imagine the black president getting away with this. I can't imagine it at all. And so I wanna talk about the subject of race because I came on today, I said, you know what, I'm gonna let my guests do all the talking.
Don Lemon 4:10
And I was gonna give you an update on what's happening in South Carolina, which is huge, which I'm gonna discuss with my guests. And also what happened in Alabama is huge. And the redrawing of these districts and what the Supreme Court has done, basically gutting the Voting Rights Act.
