Why do Don and Michael say America is in nonstop chaos?
Hello, we're live with the Lemon Cohen or Cohen Lemon Report, depending on who it is. Lemon Cohen sounds better.
Hey, Mike. It's been a minute. How are you? You know what? I'm tired. Just like you. It's funny because it's not just this once a week that D Lemonade and I will engage in either text messaging or conversation. We both comment the same thing all the time. We're both tired. This independent media, it's exhausting. It's probably more exhausting than your earlier career because... It's nonstop. And the chaos is nonstop. And everything that we've been talking about now for how long is slowly but surely coming to fruition. And it's dangerous.
Well, it's it's. It is dangerous. I think it's life threatening. I think that right now it's happening in American cities. I think I feel like there are people who are supposed to be federal agents. I think they're actually inciting the violence. And I think, look, Chicago, I've lived there in Chicago. Politics are rough. It's a rough and tumble town, man. And you think, you know, Midwest nice and all of that. Yeah. Uh, yeah, they're nice, but if you mess with them, so I think there's going to be some violence in Chicago. I hope that there's not, but I do know Chicago, if they go into the wrong places or they, you know, that they round up the wrong person. They kick down the road doors.
There's going to be a lot of kicking back. I'm with you on that one. But it's not just Chicago. It's everywhere. It's Los Angeles. It's New York. It's Portland. You name it. I mean, we're talking about a country that civilians possess more than 400 million firearms. And many of those firearms are assault rifles. Mm-hmm. And it's getting dangerous. The temperature is really rising. But the temperature is rising in every single aspect of government interactions right now. So you have the Supreme Court now. Weighing in on conversion therapy aimed at LGBTQ plus kids. You have the Supreme Court now weighing in on same-sex marriage. And this is all, by the way, the direct result of the... of the Dobbs decision, how many times have we talked about the Obergefell case or blasting game?
And I've warned everybody after the overturning of Roe, regardless of the stare decisis, that it was going to become a big issue and they're making it an issue. Then we watch Pam Bondi get excoriated by Democrats during that Senate hearing today. And this is all just before noon. Yeah.
Well, look, we did talk about it. And I said that I thought that they were going to send same-sex marriage back to the states. And I guess that's what they're trying to do now. That's what Clarence Thomas mentioned. I did not know because I've been working all day. O'Day and I haven't had a chance to really look at things just, you know, as it's coming in.
How are rising urban tensions and violence described across U.S. cities?
But this conversion therapy thing is very dangerous. I was at this event in Manhattan called Black Week, and I did two talks, one with the NAACP and one with the founder of this forum, which is a fantastic forum that goes on. And it's, you know, it's professionals of all colors, but It talks about the how to create systems, as we're talking about in social and digital media, that are supportive of people like us. Right. And not the crazy right wingers or the crazy, crazy people on the other side of the spectrum. And so they try to this is a very similar thing, but they do it for people of color. But they were asking me – I said, do you guys see what's happening on the streets of cities around the country?
And they said yes. Some of them said no. They believe that it's being restricted or being suppressed on their algorithms. They're not seeing it in mainstream media.
Mine is completely – I'm suppressed and so are you. I'm certain on Blue Sky, on Threads, on X. X is the worst.
Yeah.
Yeah. And so the weird thing is they said, do you think they're, I think they're going to come for, he said, they've been coming for Latinos. Do you think they're going to come for black people next? And I said, yes. I don't know in which order. I said, but it'll be black people.
