To us about it. Thank you for being with us to kind of give shape to this story, and well be watching it. All right . Thank you for having me. Taking the opportunity was your choice, and thank you. Thank you for watching. The big show, cnn tonight, with d lemon, starts right now. D, i have never seen anything like that before. Well, this is this is the laymans part of it because i just sort of look at, okay, this is what the 401 k is doing and the investment people are doing. But, this is the laymans part of it and i think most which is relatable to our audience. So the establishment has these are the rules we have created and its been this way for a long time. Then, all of a sudden, the little guy, the regular guy, says hey, times have changed. We found there is a loophole or what have you. You cannot get mad at us. So i think it is a reflection of what is happening in our larger culture, and the larger society, right now. As it comes to womens rights, and me too, and and issues of race and equity and and equality and all of that. Its like and people who have been there, the establishment, who is been there for so long. The entitled, right . The people who, hey, look. We are the wealthy. These are the rules. We want to live by and continue. And the underdog is saying, no, no, no. Were we deserve a place, as well. And now, this is the clash. So, hey. The rule. What i find interesting about it is i love that these people came together to prop something up. Anyway, now, you can say, no, no, no, you are ascribing virtue where there was only value. But i dont see it that way. I see it as people saying, i dont like that these guys are just selling down our community so there can be just vacant strip malls all over the country because they take away all their liquidity, all their cash. And we are going to go the other way on it and i choose to see it that way, and we cant ask everybody their intentions. But you are right, d lemon. Yeah. We are seeing a conflation of what happened here, as a metaphor for society. Yep. The rules for the but not for me. And god will help those he has helped, already. And who are we to question his intentions . The big guys got to win, even if we have to stop the game to figure it out and that pisses people off, and thats why we cover it. There are a lot of arrogant Hedge Funders out there who are mad. Ive never seen that happen before. They will be all right, though. Hey. I have got a lot to get to and someone im sure i want to talk about later. That is a legendary sicily tyson. Little bit later on. May she rest in peace and thank you for the legacy of her greatness and her choices. I sat down with her for like an hour, maybe more, a couple years ago and it was fascinating. You will see a little bit of that. I got to run, get to the show. Thank you. She sat with you for an hour, she is not only a great actor, great voice, but very patient. D lemon, i love you. I love you as well. This is cnn tonight, i am don lemon. So, another working day for a president determined to undo the legacy of his predecessor. A president , today, taking action to reopen obamacare, at a time when americans are in desperate need of healthcare. Roll this. Today, were about to sign two Executive Orders to basically the best way to describe is to undo the damage trump has done. Theres nothing new that were doing here, other than restoring the affordablecare act, and restoring the medicaid to the way it was, before trump became president. Which he changed, made more inaccessible, more expensive, and more difficult for people to qualify for either of those two items. Affordablecare act or medicaid. So, this is the reality, right . More than 430,000 americans have died, thus far, in this pandemic. Millions more are desperate for healthcare and vaccines. 847,000 people filed for unemployment, just last week. This country is in desperate need of leadership. And President Biden is pushing forward. Believing bipartisanship is possible. But well aware of the rocky road, still ahead. Yet, the Republican Party is obsessed, obsessed, obsessed, and thats not hyperbole. Im not exaggerating. With the previous president. Obsessed with protecting him, and refusing to hold him accountable. For what . The big lie. The one that incited one of the worst moments in this countrys history. The houseminority leader, Kevin Mccarthy, making a pilgrimage to maralago, today. Who paid for that . Thats what i want to know. I want to know. Im just asking the question. Did taxpay can we find out if taxpayers paid for this . I hope not. But a source saying it made him look like he was, quote, crawling back to trump. Thats exactly what it looks like because thats exactly what it is. The Republican Party is in full retreat from any kind of accountability. Actually, embracing the former president and his loyalists. This one, right . Shes one. Marjorie taylor green is in congress and they want to kick liz cheney out. Interesting times that were in, right . Because the qanon congresswoman is closer to the center of the gop, now, than republicans like mitt romney or liz cheney. Marjorie taylor green. Who is still pushing the big lie in a town hall tonight. We have done a lot of work in our preparation. Talked to a lot of people. Looked a lot of evidence that i think still needs to be looked at. And should be presented in court. I truly believe that. Still, still, and they know its a lie. Marjorie taylor green has removed dozens of facebook posts from 2018 and 2019 in which she endorsed Conspiracy Theories, repeatedly indicated support for executing prominent democrats. Executing prominent democrats. But cnn has attained video so shocking that i want you to hear them, and i want you to think about the fact that Marjorie Taylor green is now a United States congresswoman. Okay . So, pay close attention to your screen. We dont know the exact dates but we believe that they are recorded over the past few years. Before she was elected to congress, in november. So, listen to her false, racist claims about black men and gangs. Okay. So, going on. You know you know, what keeps and im i am going to cover this, too. But the generations of black and hispanic men. Do yall want to know what holds them down . Gangs. Dealing in gangs and dealing drugs is what holds them down. The lack of education is what hold holds them down. Thats thats not a a whiteperson thing. But gangs control them. They they tell them they tell the young men in their communities, dont go to school. Dont no. Dont dont you move out of this out of this project. Dont you move out of this community. You join this gang. And thats where you belong. You belong with us. The gangs are holding them back. Its not white people. Its its crazy. Marjorie. Marjorie. White people arent in gangs . White people arent in gangs . Okay. I want you to tell that to the Police Officers and lawmakers menaced by rioters, including proud boys and oath keepers at the capitol. What would you call them . Huh . Okay. Think about that. And theres more. More vile garbage from a woman who, and i remind you, again, is now a u. S. Congresswoman. Here it is. If you want islam and sharia law, you stay over there in the middle east. You go to mecca and do all your thing and you know what . You can have a whole bunch of wives or goats or sheep or whatever you want. You stay over there. But in america, see, weve made it this great, great country. We dont want it messed up. We sure dont. Can you play that for yourself . That everything that you said about, say that about you. We dont want it messed up. So, stop messing it up, marjorie. You know, these people love to talk about making America Great again. Immigrants made and make America Great. Religious tolerance made and make America Great. Free speech makes America Great. But, ignorance, bigotry, hateful comments bigots, hateful comments, cloaked in false patriotism. That doesnt make America Great. You are shaming this great country with those comments, and you should be ashamed of yourself. And this is the congresswoman, that the Republican Party is embracing . Come on, yall. That whole par partyoffamilyvalues thing. Can you really claim that . And especially, the the christians. After the porn star and all of that . And now, this . Was that ever really real . Hmm. Example, after example. Mirror. Need a mirror. But here is the thing. Even if they censured Marjorie Taylor green, it wouldnt solve the problem. You know why . Because Marjorie Taylor green is just a shiny object. Just like donald trump was. Symptom of a muchlarger problem. Thats the trap. If you get blinded by Marjorie Taylor green, by her, you let Everybody Else got off scotfree for what happened at the capitol and whats happened in this country over the last five years, culminating with what happened at the capitol. She is a symptom of what is wrong with the Republican Party. A party, that is turning on its own. Turning on liz cheney . Liz . You know how conservative liz cheney is . You know how dedicated to the Republican Party liz cheney is . Come on, yall. Her daddys dick cheney. Come on, really . Liz cheney, who dared to do the right thing, and vote to hold the former President Accountable. A crowd of trump supporters, showing up to condemn her. Oh, boy. At a matt gaetz rally, today. If you want to prove that you have the power, defeat liz cheney in this upcoming election. And wyoming will bring washington to its knees. So, its really tough because its its so transparent, matt gaetz is so transparent. He wants publicity, so bad. It just he wreaks of it, right . Just like, do you give him that . Because thats what he wants. Thats thats what he wants. So, do you really elevate that . But anyway, thats a whole other show. This is a party that tries to kick liz cheney to the curb, while embracing Marjorie Taylor green. She is no outlier. There is madison cawthorne, as well. Emblazoned with the word useless on his website, before taking them down. A spokesman for his campaign telling cnn, upon hearing that the masks were being sold on his campaign website, Representative Cawthorne firmly requested they be removed. Today, though, with this tweet. First, they came for our free speech. Then, they came for our free markets. Next, theyll come for our Free Shipping on orders on 50 or more with promo code freedom 50. Okay. So, that proves my point about him. About gaetz. About hawley. This is he wants to sell a book, yall. Were being silenced. This is not who we are. Theyre taking away our whatever. They want to sell books. They want to sell websites. They want attention, media attention. This is not about values and whats best for the country. It really isnt. This is about whats best for them to stay in power, to make money. Attention. Come on. Yall know what im telling the truth. So, as we were talking. Josh hawley who now says his objection to Bidens Electoral College win wasnt about keeping trump in office. He just wanted to spark a debate about what he calls Voting Irregularities in pennsylvania. I used to live in pennsylvania. I know all about pennsylvania voting. I used to live in atlanta, i know about theirs, as well. There is irregularities in every precinct. Nothing unique about pennsylvania. Telling cnn, i was very clear, from the beginning, that i was never attempting to overturn the election. Kind of makes you wonder why he didnt say that to fox news on january 4th, two days before the insurrection. Are you trying to say that, as of january 20th, that President Trump will be president . Well, that that fdepends n what happens on wednesday. This is why we have the debate. This is why we have the votes. No, it doesnt. The states think its a game. Well, it is a game, to them. Josh hawley, who saluted the crowd before the riot broke out. Who voted to overturn the results in arizona and pennsylvania, even after the riot. Says he has no regrets, and was never attempting to overturn the election. Give me a break. Come on. This is what we have come to. The acting chief of the u. S. Capitol police calling for permanent fencing around the capitol. Congresswoman Elise Stefanik tweeting this. Its the peoples house and she is adamantly opposed. She is saying that we cant have fences around the capitol. But inside the capitol, she votes to uphold the big lie that brought them that brought the folks there. And against doing anything to hold the President Accountable so that it wont happen again. So, if you dont want it around, if you dont want fences around the capitol, then, maybe, you should vote in a way that it doesnt happen, again. So that you dont have to put fences, right . That would make sense. That would be logical. But, you know, hey. Who am i . Just a dumb constituent out here. I dont know. It really is the peoples house. And the people should be able to freely come and go, and be a part of our democracy. But the reason we cant is because the president and his enablers incited a violent member, and nobody is being held accountable. Now, get this. Nancy pelosi says members are concerned for their own safety, and she goes onto say this. When the enemy is within the house of representatives, what the members are concerned about in addition to what is happening outside. And lets remember. It was Marjorie Taylor green who, in january of 2019, liked a comment that said, quote, a bullet to the head would be quicker to remove pelosi. This is what weve come to. But we dont have to stay here. We dont. There is a choice. Its the choice of the American People. The choice the American People already made. Lets remember, the republicans dear leader, the former president , led the republicans right out of the majority in the house. Right out of the white house. Right out of the majority in the senate. So, go ahead, everybody. Do it. Go Kiss The Ring of the defeated king, in exile. The rest of us will move forward with our democracy and with the work that needs to be done. And heres the picture for you. I want you to think about this. Of where weve been, and where were going. I am talking about a legendary person. Actress and civil rights activist, cicely tyson. After nearly a century of life on this earth, she died today. Remember her, and i want you to remember that america wasnt always great for everyone. Especially, if you didnt have white skin. Listen to the elders. When i hear young people deny the fact that rosa parks could not sit on a bus. Or that i could not go to the to the soda to to Ice Cream Parlor and sit at a lunch counter. They they dont believe that. They dont believe it because its not tangible. Its not real, to them. They hear tell of it, they dont believe it. And so, you know, we had we fought for everything so that the next generation wouldnt have to do that. It can be better than you were. Thats right. Thats right. Thats right. Hmm. Those are the people who made America Great. And now, we have the gop embracing people like Marjorie Taylor green and her racism. And refusing to hold the previous president responsible for inciting insurrection. Is that really where republicans want to be . There are better ways for us to govern, that dont devolve into threats of political violence, into, you know, these illusions into just insane theories. That tsahat is not a strong party. That is a party that is nearing its end. Its either testing an array of advanced safety systems. Or it isnt. Its either the Peace Of Mind of a standard unlimited mileage warranty. Or it isnt.
