Don Lemon 0:23
Good morning. Hey, Merry Christmas Eve, Eve. Hello, Merry Christmas Eve, Eve. We're so glad to be live on all the platforms. I'm doing TikTok a different way because, you know, TikTok had an issue. Hi, TikTok. So smash the screen. We'll talk to you guys there. I'm so glad to see you guys. Merry Christmas to all. Happy Festivas. Someone said, so it's so good to be here. We're going to discuss. Okay, guys, good morning. Let me just tell you this, because this is a hot topic, and this is a really hot topic, and it is breaking, okay? Welcome to the show. Matt Gaetz is a creep, allegedly. Like, a creep. If you have not seen this report, then I don't know what to tell you. Because... Have you guys seen this report?
Don Lemon 1:16
Have you been talking about it? I think you've been talking about it in the chat. Very, very, as they say, the creepy. It involves, as we thought, this scandalous, salacious report involves young people. He has denied it. But the report, according to the sources, the report, by the way, has not officially been released from Congress. He's still fighting that. But it has been, I don't know if it's leaked or obtained by news organizations, I believe by CBS, et cetera. And yeah. Wow. So I'm going to go through it and tell you, what do you make of this? Here's the thing. Can you imagine someone Anybody in any profession getting away with something like this, with these sorts of allegations, even if you don't work in the public.
Don Lemon 2:10
Now, look, innocent until proven guilty. He's saying that he's been completely exonerated and that's been investigated and nothing. That is not true. I'm trying to figure out the glasses I want to wear because I can't see anything. I think we could go through several pair here. That is not true. I want to make sure I want to play myself on the screen here. And then make sure that I'm on standby. Hold on one second. Okay. For some reason I can't do it. Oh, here we go. Anyways, I can't make that work. Okay. Sorry, I'm a little out of it because I'm away for the holidays. You can see I'm at home, not in the studio, not in the city, away for the holidays.

What shocking allegations does the House Ethics report make about Matt Gaetz?

Don Lemon 3:02
The dogs are with me. We're getting ready for Christmas with the family. Okay. So I got to figure out how to get this to work. Let me see how I do that. I don't know. I guess I have to put something else on and then come back. You guys, the team at home, you can't help me, my team. Someone said, I want a team. I want a team too, team. What are you trying to do? Oh, here it is. I'm looking for my Apple TV remote. I'm not very good at this. So now you guys see that I need people around me in order to be able to help work things. I know this is not very professional, but I don't give a crap. Now I'll go back to wherever to try to make this work. Or maybe it's my TV that's just not working this morning. There we go.
Don Lemon 3:51
Now it's going to work. Ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha. There we go. Hi, everybody. Ha, ha, ha. OK. So here's the thing. Yeah, it's creepy and it's gross. And it was obtained by CBS News. Scandalous, salacious, damning, disgusting. I'm going to break it all down the next hour. So buckle up. It's not for the faint of heart. Suffice to say that Matt Gaetz is permanently on Santa's naughty list. I mean, if he's got a, what do you call that thing that you put an elf on the shelf, that elf on the shelf just needs to hop off and go back into the closet for next year. Okay. Now I want to set this up, but I'm going to tell you, just think about all of these things. Think about all the things that we have gone over in the last just year or so during the campaign, or maybe even longer, maybe even like longer than the campaign.
Don Lemon 4:41
Let's, let's go back eight years. When Donald Trump first came into office, let's go back then or when he was trying to to become president of the United States. Let's think about all the things. OK. And any think about the folks who get away with this sort of behavior. And how is that possible? And how can this person be nominated to be the attorney general of the United States? Seriously, think about it. Come on, y'all. How can this person be nominated to be the Attorney General of the United States?
