Welcome to the program, everyone. The Don Lemon Show is brought to you by the Freedom From Religion Foundation. Let's talk about freedom, shall we? The real kind. Not slogans or someone else's religion forced into your life, but the freedoms actually guaranteed in our Constitution. And with Bill of Rights Day coming up on December 15th, it is a reminder that the First Amendment protects freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom from government-imposed religion. Christian nationalism is working hard to blur that line, and since 1978, FFRF has been pushing back, defending secular values in the courts, and holding public officials accountable wherever they cross the line. So right now, for their Season of Reason campaign, you can get 20% off of all FFRF merchandise through December 9th, a chance to literally wear your principles, and they're offering a two-for-one membership for new U.S.
members. You join, you get to give a free gift membership to someone else. So just go to ffrf.us slash shop or text Don to 511-511 to claim it. That's ffrf.us slash shop or text Don to 511-511.

I mean, we are about 500,000, 500,000, about 500 away from 1 million. Very close. Let me just double check here as we're looking here.
About 500.

I just want to start with an observation that shouldn't feel so radical in a functioning democracy, and that is the director of the FBI should not be collecting Delta SkyMiles. I'm joking, but I'm really not joking.
I'm going to explain that. I'm joking, but I'm really not. Because let me explain what we have been watching here. For months now, we have seen Kash Patel, the man who is running the nation's top law enforcement agency, He's supposed to be protecting the country, protecting democracy. And he is, according to reports, using government aircraft like his own personal flying pony. Like his own personal airline. Like he's collecting miles that he's flying so much. His own personal flying pony. Jumping from WWE fight to WWE fight night. From WWE Fight Night to WWE Fight Night. Casino to casino, dragging elite tactical teams with him like they are the most overqualified chaperones on earth. So this is what the reports are.
These are people trained for terrorism, counterintelligence, hostage rescue. And here they are, reportedly babysitting a government official who wants to see a cage match up close. And today, MSNOW reported that Donald Trump has privately begun questioning whether Cash Patel is more trouble than he is worth.
