What is the Freedom From Religion Foundation sponsorship and why does it matter now?
Hi, everyone. Welcome to the Don Lemon Show. The Don Lemon Show is brought to you by the Freedom From Religion Foundation. And look, you know me, I care a lot, a whole lot about actual freedom, not the kind people toss around in slogans. I'm talking about the freedom the Constitution actually promises us. And with the Bill of Rights Day coming up on December 15th, it is a good time to remember that very First Amendment, the one that protects freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom from government imposed religion. That last one, right? A lot of folks like to skip over it, but we can't afford to skip over it now. Christian nationalism is creeping into places it does not belong. And the Freedom From Religion Foundation, well, they have been holding that line since 1978 in courts, in local government, everywhere these fights show up.
And so right now, they're running their Season of Reason campaign, and I love this. From Black Friday through December 9th, you can get 20% off of FFRF merch. Where are your values? and they're also doing a two-for-one membership for new members. So, you can join, you can give a free membership to someone in your life who believes in real freedom too. It applies to new US memberships only. not renewals or lifetime tiers, but it's a real way to support the work. So just visit ffrf.us slash shop or text my name, Don, D-O-N, to 511-511. That's ffrf.us slash shop or text Don to 511-511 because our rights survive only when we're willing to stand up for them. Text fees may apply. Hello, George Hahn.
Hello, Don Lemon.
How you doing?
How you doing?
That slipped out.
I'm good, I'm good, I'm good. Yeah, I think.
I don't, yeah, right? I don't know if I can, how much more of this I can take because You know, I try to I try to ignore some stuff because I know it's just a distraction.
Like, don't talk about the Epstein files. I'm talking about the Epstein files. But then it's like, I don't know if that's a distraction, though. I think that's the thing from which they're trying to destroy.
No, that's what I'm saying. That's that's what I'm saying. They're saying don't talk about the Epstein files. But I will. You know, I will. I'm sorry if I got that wrong. But. It just, it bothers me because I don't want to focus on the things that are not important. But when you say crazy stuff and you just come up with like crazy distractions, like saying, hey, you know, my political rivals need to be, you know, taken out. And so it's like, what do we do?
I saw that post from Truth Social when he's, what was it? What was the phrasing? It was punishable by death. Yeah. And I thought, are we done here? Can we be done here? Are we done? I mean, it wasn't the other stuff from the last, from the campaign in 2015, 16, you know, the stuff he said with Billy Bush on the, you know, are we allowed to talk that way on your show?
Yeah, of course you can say pussy.
Yeah. Grab them by the pussy. Like why it went further than that, Don, I don't really know, but yeah, and now we're here and now he's saying punishable by death and that seems to be okay with people and now we're punished and now we're you know barking at reporters saying quiet piggy um i yeah if you want to get me started on that go right ahead do you think on you know on a week like we've just had
for Thanksgiving and everyone's giving thanks or whatever. Do you ever think that he like looks back and says, you know, no, that he takes stock in?
No, no, I don't. There is no introspection in that guy. None. I mean, I'm not I'm no therapist, but I would bet everything I have in my life that he makes no considerations for How am I doing? Am I being a good person? Did I go too far? I don't think there's any function like that that goes on in his brain, his psyche, or whatever. I don't think his intellect has that standard equipment. I really don't.
george's i think we talked about it a little bit but um is this what do you think this is the moment that breaks the maga spell are we in the are we in the spell breaking era of the maga trump here's what i think since you asked um here's what i think um
