Oh my gosh! It's Friday, and thank goodness for Friday. Hi, everybody. Welcome to the Don Lemon Show. I am here. You guys know when it's a little bit late, you know who it is, right? It's me. Uh-oh, I just messed something up. I don't know what I'm doing now. You know it's me, so you can blame me, because I am the one that's a little bit late. We did have some technical difficulties yesterday. Hmm. But today we're all good. So thank you. Happy Friday. Let me know where you are. I'm going to slow down a little bit. We're going to take a breath because there is a lot going on. I don't know why I'm saying we're going to take a breath because there is a ton of crap going on. Here's what I want to talk to you guys about.
I hate it when you're being gaslit. And right now, you're being gaslit by the administration about, oh, the economy's doing this, the economy's doing that. This is the economy. This is great. This is all blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That's not necessarily so. The jobs numbers are in, and they're not good. So we're going to hear about that. And I hate to break it to you, but it's not good. I remember, oh, hello, Ruston, Louisiana. Thank you so much. Hello, St. Louis, Beth Bear. Hello, everyone. So thank you. I'm going to take a time and talk to people. Winter Haven, hi. L.A., hello from Frisco. Okay, listen, hi, New Jersey. Here's the thing I need you guys to do. Please, please hit the thumbs up.

It is very important to us, all of it, because it keeps us viable and on the air. I'm going to talk to you about that as well. I'm so happy that we're having this moment in independent media. and you're supporting independent media, it shows that you're supporting me, you're supporting Joy, you're supporting Mehdi, you're supporting Jim Acosta, all those things, that's really, really, really great. So it's important that you keep that up and you keep up the memberships and the subscriptions and everything so that you get the real news out because you're not hearing it everywhere you are, everywhere you go. You're not hearing it on all fronts, okay? So welcome to the program this morning. What we're talking about
is we're talking about the new job numbers. We're talking about the economy. We're talking about tariffs. We're talking about Epstein because the family is speaking out and they are sick of it. They are attacking Donald Trump. They're tired of him beating around the bush and not getting the information out. They want justice for their family member. It is emotional interviews that you're going to hear here. And so on top of all of this, People are boiling. The pot is boiling and the top is about to come off, whether you want to realize it or not. And the administration is trying to pretend that everything is great, that the economy is firing on all cylinders, that this is the best. It's not. It was better under Joe Biden.
It was, and I have the proof to show you. And all of this, again, this pot that is boiling, like this cauldron that is boiling up. As people are out for the summer, because you know, come September, everybody sort of gets back to reality because you've got to start buying stuff. You got to start buying your kids' school shit, right? You got to start getting ready for the holidays. You got to start paying for uniforms and equipment and lunches and all of those things. And then you see the people you love being picked up and deported and rounded up without due process. People who have been in this country not committing any crimes. Some of the nicest people you ever and hardest working people you ever want to meet.
And they're being rounded up like they're criminals by a criminal president, a criminal, an administration that is run by a criminal, a convicted one. For Infractions are crimes that are much more severe than not having a green card, than being undocumented. Things that are much more severe than that. Think about what happened in a civil court. And they're trying to pretend that they're trying to make you think that all immigrants are somehow criminal and it is B.S.,
