The week is flying by. Hello, welcome to Hot Topics, 10 a.m. Eastern time here in the Don Lemon Show, the Don Lemon Channel. Happy that you're here. Like and thumbs up for a sort of business. I see you guys in the chat this morning. Man, you're raring to go. Which one do I like? Do I like this one or the other one? I have more glasses than Fred Sanford on Sanford and Son. For those of you who are old enough, remember the drawer of eyeglasses he had that he used to fumble through? If you don't, Google it. You'll see what I'm talking about. It's hilarious. Anyway, welcome to the show, everyone. Glad that you're here. I can see better out of these. Glad that you're here. Again, as I said, like and thumbs up. Boy, we have a doozy for you.
We're going to talk about some things that are extremely uncomfortable. One thing, and that is, have you guys heard what's going on with Macklemore?
Yeah,
that's a doozy. And when we talk about it, I mean, when you talk about that, you could get canceled or accused of being anti-Semitic. And that's part of the problem, part of the issue, I should say. So good morning, everyone. Thank you. Hi, Texas. I was just at breakfast with someone from Dallas this morning. Fort Worth, as a matter of fact. Yeah, so you remember the drawer of glasses. Some people do. Hi, Houston, Texas. Thank you. A lot of folks from Texas in this morning. Okay, so I want to get right to it because we're going to start with Pete Hegseth. You know, Pete Hegseth, by the way, let me give you a little secret. He's about to face the possibility of impeachment.
What is the background of the Iran‑War controversy and why is it relevant?
So let's talk about Pete Hegseth. But has anybody noticed that Pete Hegseth became the Secretary of War, should be the Secretary of State, because when he started as Secretary of State, and then they want to name it to the dumb thing of war. Since then, he has been running a one-man audition for America's next top alpha male. I mean, it's kind of, one wonders, like what Obama said about Donald Trump's obsession with numbers, right? Why he's so obsessed with being the next top alpha male. Dude, testosterone. It's like the dudes at the gym, the all-male gym. We don't want women. Okay, I know I'm going off here. They don't want women in their gyms and They have this whole obsession about trans, it doesn't really make sense.
Yeah, we want to all do gym, okay? I mean, yeah. Every five minutes, Pete is lifting something. He is flexing something. He's yelling something. He's sticking out his chest. He's got that, what do you call it? The hanker, look. I mean, Andy, what do we call him? I wanted to, I forgot when we were talking about this, we were calling him, we said, you know, can we see GI, I was gonna say, Andy, can we see GI Joe in action? Can we call him PI Joe? Repeat, repeat. Come on, PI Joe is a thing. He's like, he thinks he's GI Joe. Look at him. I mean, I don't know about you. I'm still not convinced. Ladies, hot, right? I'm still not convinced. Okay, Pete, you need to relax. We get it. You like to bench press for whatever that means.
You like to bench press, you like a good dumbbell while you're staring down the camera. It's all performative. But here comes the, this is the real strength test, test of strength right here. Can Captain Creaton bench press eight articles of impeachment? That's the question. Yes, Donald Trump's secretary of what he calls war, which is actually the secretary of defense, is facing impeachment. And unfortunately for him, you can't flex Congress into submission about that. He can't bench press them. He is a dumbbell, somebody says in the comments. That's actually a smart thing. We didn't think of that one. And before anybody gets lost in the politics of whether those articles of impeachment go anywhere, can we please revisit the question that everyone has been dancing around since this man walked into the Pentagon, please?
