Why does Don Lemon say MAGA is 'desperate' right now?
Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining the Don Lemon Show. Thank you for joining Hot Topics, 10 a.m. Eastern Time.

I'm staying and I'm doing the show from here because it's important. My friends and folks have been like, you're doing a show. You're supposed to be on vacation. There is no vacation. right now we have to bring you the news we have to tell you what's happening in this country because quite honestly it's effed up do you guys know what's happening there's one thing that's really pissing me off i hate you know by the way i think you guys know i hate that word pissing me off it just sounds so gross when someone says piss i hate that but anyways um pete hegseth and donald trump
The nerve they have to try to call out Mark Kelly, who is a hero among men who served this country. I will call him a war hero. But I, an astronaut, a veteran, a public servant, His wife dealt with the most horrible political violence imaginable. She almost lost her life. And the way that they're treating this patriot is really unbelievable. And it shows their character. So I just want to tell you guys today, I want to talk about how MAGA is just taking L's left and right right now. And I think that they have not only jumped the shark, right? I mean, it's been way beyond that. But they're so desperate. And for what? Desperate because they're losing power. They know that this whole thing is built on a lie, on hate, on all of the things.
It's not patriotic at all. They don't believe in the Constitution. Donald Trump is a criminal, a convicted felon. So this morning... We went through and I said, let's just say what it is, team. MAGA is desperate. And I looked at that thumbnail that we just put up on the screen before we came on the show. It's got Trump on it. It's got Lindsey Halligan. It's got Pete Hegseth. If you want to put it up, Andy, you can. It's got Pete Hegseth. All three of them looking like somebody just told them that the truth for the first time, what it looks like in their lives. And I just thought to myself, where are we now? These are the faces of the movement that used to talk like they were 10 feet tall and they were bulletproof.
The face of the movement that has been taking loss after loss right now. And now they're the ones who are looking scared. They're trying to make other people afraid. They're trying to intimidate other people. They're trying to intimidate James Comey or Letitia James or Bonnie Willis or Lisa Cook or Mark Kelly. A bunch of folks. And now they're the ones looking scared because they keep taking all of these losses. They are the ones who look confused. They are the ones who sound desperate right now. And you know what desperation sounds like? It sounds like nonsense. It sounds like projection. It sounds like people who are used to getting away with everything and then suddenly realizing that the world is not moving in the way that they want it to move.
And the world is not moving out of their way anymore. So I sat with my tea this morning. I hope you have some. And I just kept shaking my head because I thought all of this is
