Clay Cane 0:14
Good evening, my friends. Welcome to the Don Lemon Show. My name is Clay Kane. I am filling in for Don Lemon. It's always an honor to be here with the Lemonheads. I love y'all. We have so many things to talk about on this day. There is a lot going on. If you don't know me, I'm a Sirius XM radio host, and I'm also the author of the upcoming book, Burn Down Master's House. You can pre-order that book now. It is historical fiction, and it is a book that is really relevant for this moment right now. And it's about opposition, resistance, and fighting back. It's my very own protest novel. But it is always a blessing to be here on the Don Lemon Show. Blessing Don Lemon's mic, passing it on to me. I appreciate it.
Clay Cane 1:01
So there's a lot going on, a lot going on. We got updates in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. It refuses to die. We got movement in the president's poll numbers in the wrong direction. Hopefully some folks are waking up. We'll see. We have so many stories to go over. Let's bring on Peter. Let's bring on Peter. He rocks it with us. We always appreciate to have him on here What's up, sir? How you doing?
Peter Rothpletz 1:25
What's up, dude? Clay, I love you introducing yourself as if the Lemonheads, the Lemon Nation don't know you, don't love you, don't adore you as the best fill-in guest host imaginable.
Clay Cane 1:35
But Don always has new subscribers. He always has new people. That's why you all got to hit that like button. Hit that like button. What does Don say? Smash the button. Smash it. Y'all got to smash the screen, rather. Y'all got to hit that like button and subscribe and engage wherever you are. All that really helps the algorithm. So, hey, for the new people, and yeah, I see them all on there. What's up, people? Everybody's there. It's great. It's great to be here. It's always beautiful. Always beautiful to be here with the Lemonheads. I love it. I love when y'all call on me and we're here. Listen, one of the things that I love about Don Lemon is he makes sure that we do not forget this Epstein scandal, because they want us to forget it.
Clay Cane 2:14
They want us to focus on trying to prosecute President Barack Obama. They want us to focus on the latest trans story. They want us to focus on whoever they think is the real criminal when it appears to be them. And Trump recently was talking about the woman, so horrific, who took her own life in April, Virginia Giuffre. And he said on Air Force One that she was stolen. from Mar-a-Lago. And I want to play this clip, but it's really important that we listen to the language here. Like one of the comments just said, victims matter. And the language that you use around a victim, everybody wants to dismiss what he says and say, oh, yeah, he's just talking. You can't take him too seriously. You must take this seriously.
Clay Cane 3:13
For every victim out there, if you've been a victim of sexual assault, of abuse, you've got to take the kind of words that he says, what he says here seriously. Listen to this clip on Air Force One.
Donald Trump 3:27
President, Epstein has a certain reputation, obviously.

What new revelations about the Epstein files and Trump remarks are introduced?

Donald Trump 3:31
Just curious, were some of the workers that were taken from you, were some of them young women? Were some of them young women? Well, I don't want to say, but... Everyone knows the people that were taken. And it was the concept of taking people that work for me is bad. But that story's been pretty well out there. And the answer is yes, they were. Yes, they were. Yeah. In the spa. Yeah, people that work in the spa. I have a great spa, one of the best spas in the world at Mar-a-Lago. And people were taken out of the spa, hired by him. In other words, gone. And other people would come and complain, this guy is taking people from the spa. I didn't know that. And then when I heard about it, I told him, I said, listen, we don't want you taking our people, whether it was spa or not spa.
Donald Trump 4:22
I don't want him taking people. And he was fine. And then not too long after that, he did it again. And I said, out of here.
Epstein survivor (clip) - Unidentified Survivor 4:31
Mr. President, did one of those stolen, you know, persons, does that include Virginia Jeffrey?
Donald Trump 4:39
I don't know. I think she worked at the spa.
