Good morning, everybody. Welcome one and all to Hot Topics. I am Don Lemon, your host, your anchor for the next hour or so. So glad that you guys could join us this morning. Thank you for waiting. Okay, this is some crazy shit. Donald Trump is unhinged. Make sure you hit the like. Make sure you hit the thumbs up. It's very important to us. So everybody, within the sound of my voice, go to your device, phone, TV, computer, and just smash that thumbs up, okay? Good morning, Sylvia. Good morning, everyone. Let me know. Let me know where you are watching us from. West Virginia says, male mom. Thank you. Chicago says, Chris F. Y'all, this is... I don't really know... What's, hey, wonderful search. I'm so glad you're watching me on vacation.
Thank you. I don't really understand what is going on right now. And I don't get the logic. And the Trump folks are just spinning and themselves and tying themselves into a, twisting themselves into a pretzel to try to make something that doesn't make sense. What Donald Trump is doing, trying to make it make sense. And it doesn't make sense. Even their evidence that they have. Look, here's what he's trying to do. He's trying to obviously sully Barack Obama. Right. Like Barack Obama did something bad. Bad man did something illegal. I mean, basically accusing the former president of treason, which is just ridiculous. OK, and I'm going to show you that I got to I got to tee it up for you, class. so that you can understand just how nuts this is.
So some of it, I'm gonna play, we played something yesterday at five o'clock and I may have to play it for you again, just so you can understand the level of madness that is going on here.
I think Donald Trump's insane. I mean, that should not be any, that shouldn't be a revelation. But I think this makes it more obvious than ever that there is some lunacy going on, some degree of insanity, something is unhinged, lies. It's wow. And it is... You guys know how I feel about this person being the President of the United States, right? That it was... we are not in a safe space right now. We're not in a country that believes in democracy. And I think the screws have come loose on our democracy and our shared sense of reality. When we can't have a shared sense of reality or shared sense of what facts, what a fact is, what's real and what's not. I'm just gonna tell you from looking at all of this, first of all, Tulsi Gabbard is dumb.
They put someone as head of national intelligence who should not be there. Their definition, DEI, higher she was or is. And now we're in a position where not the inmates are running the asylum, but the conspiracy theorists... And perhaps the folks who are assets to other countries are also running. And let me just before I go into this, by the way. Don't get me wrong. I think I'm off of my mission because the mission is you guys know what the mission is. Right. The mission is. Epstein, Epstein, Epstein. This is all about Epstein. This is all a deflection to Epstein. And him trying to deflect Epstein with all of these crazy things, these outlandish accusations, is just drawing more attention to Epstein.
So my focus, don't get me wrong. Thank you very much, Impatient Miss. Epstein, Epstein, Epstein. Denise P., that is my focus. And so you guys are right about that. Demetrius Cephas, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein. But he's trying to deflect and change the attention from Epstein, Epstein, Epstein. And what he's doing is extremely dangerous because he knows it's not true or he's just insane and he's living in his own head and Obama is rent-free in his head. How jealous of Obama can he be? Green with envy, but so much so that it has become dangerous. We all have enemies or people we don't like, frenemies or whatever it is. But this is a whole level of something else. Okay, so I want to, let me just show you what happened yesterday.
Some of it, all right? I won't bore you with a lot of it. some of what happened yesterday because it's setting me up and it's setting you up to see just how far this has gone. Cause I think you need a bit of a history lesson.
