(01:40):
Thank you, visit.
Thank you.
You know it is a Friday and Ireally am in a great mood.
It was wonderful to get outyesterday.
I actually really enjoyedgetting my workout in and I want
to do that again today on a daylike this, especially when it's
(02:02):
not so hot.
But I enjoyed getting out andjust talking.
It was a good time, so I wantto keep that going.
So I'm going to do it today,but I'm going to spare you the
heavy breathing today.
I mean unless something elsecomes up.
I can't guarantee that and on aday like this I want to keep it
so light.
It was fun keeping it light onthe show last night, by the way.
(02:24):
By the way, I'm also the hostof the Pat Walsh Radio.
It's the Pat Walsh Show asheard on radio KFBK radio, to be
precise, sacramento 93.1 FM,1530 AM, and I'm on 7 to 10 PM
Monday through Friday.
I do realize, by the way, thatwe really have an enormous
(02:45):
audience for that show.
I mean, it is amazing to me IfI could encourage all of the
people that listen to my radioshow to come on and listen to my
podcast.
I always try to do that, but,boy, that would be huge.
But literally I'm preaching tothe choir right now because
those of you who are listeningto my show and my podcast,
(03:05):
you're already doing that.
But we have a great andever-growing community here with
Pat's Peeps.
And again, I always remind youit's not just about the podcast,
it's about if you would go usesome of the businesses that we
try to feature Anyhow, whatever.
We'll go deep into that today.
That we try to feature Anyhow,whatever, we'll go deep into
(03:26):
that today.
But my point was we had fun lastnight on the show talking about
debut albums, like what is thegreatest debut album, trying to
just kind of ease our way outfor the moment from all the
horrendous news we've beenhearing lately.
You know, I think sometimes,like I said yesterday, it's good
for the soul.
I talked all about thatyesterday, so we did that on the
(03:47):
show last night.
Thank you to Tammy for hersuggestion on that one.
Lots of calls.
You know what I did realize.
Someone called I think it wasTim in Fair Oaks actually that
called and he mentioned that.
You know, pat I don't know howmany people really.
(04:09):
He said you're so and I'm notsaying this in an egotistical
way, but this is what he said hegoes and people will tell me
this you're so knowledgeable onmusic and you know all the debut
stuff, the debut albums, butmost people don't.
(04:30):
They don't know what the debutalbums are.
I don't mean to go down thatrabbit hole because now I
literally want to sit here andplay debut albums.
How far am I into this?
Some of the ones that I talkedabout were Boston, their debut
back in 76.
The very same year there wasanother great debut album.
Two great debut albums thatcame out that year.
(04:50):
You had Boston's first albumand then you had Tom Petty's
first album Very differentsounds, but that was a great
year for music.
You know, when you have twogreat debuts, you know there was
(05:13):
like three years in a row wherethere were great debut records
that came out Probably more thanthat.
I mean I'm sure there's muchmore than that, many more than
that, as I think about it.
There were, but I can't go onand on.
But this is a good, you know,breakdown the first, tom Petty.
But there's songs on thisrecord that I like even more
than this one Tom Petty and theHeartbreakers.
(05:36):
We can't lose the fact that itwas the Heartbreakers.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
It's all right if you love me.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Pat's Peeps 334.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
It's all right if you love me.
Pat's Peeps 334.
It's all right if you don't.
I'm not afraid of you runningaway.
Honey, I get the feeling youwon't.
You see, there is no sense inpretending your eyes.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
You know there was another one that came out that
year.
Well, not that year, Not thatyear, excuse me.
A couple of years later,actually 78.
78 was a great year for debutalbums, in my opinion.
Three of the best, Three of myfavorite debut albums came out
in 78.
(06:25):
Dire Straits.
Nothing sounded like this Atthat time.
(06:46):
Nothing sounded like this, andthere were three albums from 78
that I will say the same thingabout Nothing ever sounded like
this, and a fine coal miner Forthe MCB that was.
So you had your dire straitsthat year 78.
Also in 78, you had this coolnew band Like what is this?
(07:10):
I've never heard anything quitelike this, but I couldn't help
but to love it, and the more Ilistened the more I loved it.
The Cars' first album.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I had never heard anything like that.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
I got the cassette and I put it on and I'm like my
best friend's girlfriend, letthe good times roll, all mixed
up, moving in stereo.
What a record.
It sounded so different thanthe other stuff I'd been
listening to Black Sabbath,judas Priest, the Ramones, the
Tubes.
Listening to Black Sabbath,judas Priest, the Ramones, the
(08:16):
Tubes it's like they weredefinitely, in my opinion,
influenced by one of the manybands who were influenced by
Kraftwerk, the German band.
And then in 78, I had neverheard anything that sounded like
this until 78.
Van Halen, their debut, theirdebut.
(09:00):
It was awesome.
Eruption, running With theDevil, atomic Punk, ice Cream
man.
And here's the thing that Ihere's an opinion, here's my
opinion on this record, howimportant this was.
(09:22):
So you know, again I'd be.
I was listening to all thebands I just mentioned Montrose,
pink Floyd, led Zeppelin, youknow those bands.
And all of a sudden this comesout.
Now think about this time.
So you had Zeppelin's finalrecord coming out the next year,
(09:42):
79.
But the previous year to theCars and Van Halen and all these
great albums that came out in78 that I just played for you
previous to that, in matter offact, the previous year, like
you would have stuff coming outlike like you had New Wave, you
had punk rock.
(10:04):
The Ramones came out in 77.
I didn't catch on until 78 withRocket to Russia.
But you know, you had thingslike.
I mean, you just had otherbands that were sort of new wave
, which were the cars, were newwave, but there was punk, there
was disco and suddenly rock,heavy rock.
(10:28):
It was the bands like Montroseand Ted Nugent.
By 78, after Free For All andall this, ted Nugent was kind of
, his popularity was waning alittle bit.
But here comes Van Halen andsuddenly when Van Halen came out
oh please, I mean thispropelled rock and roll again.
(10:52):
People got right back into rockand Van Halen became huge.
And suddenly, if you go backand listen to, for instance,
going back to Judas Priest, 1980, if you have British Steel,
huge.
If you go to Black Sabbath withRonnie James Dio, heaven and
Hell 1980.
If you go to 1980 and go toanother great year for rock
(11:16):
Alton says I'm mentioning theseBack in Black ACDC.
So Van Halen, two yearsprevious, with this record I
think it resurrected the genreof heavy rock and roll.
I remember the first time whenthis came on the radio.
I was blown away.
(11:36):
I was more blown away by thisthan I was.
Eruption and the Kinks coverreally got you, really got me
when I heard this like what the?
Are you kidding me, man?
What See how far I drifted awayfrom Don Lemon, which is why I
(11:59):
came here to talk about today.
I came here to talk about.
I get so easily sidetrackedsidetracked Anyhow.
(12:19):
I don't own the rights to that.
You know what I mean.
You know what I mean.
You know what I mean.
Speaking of music, ladies andgentlemen, right here on Pants,
peeps 334, I needed that bridge,that musical bridge, to get me
back into this topic.
I remember my mom singing thiswhen I was just a wee lad.
(12:46):
So I'm here, if you don't mind.
I'm here to hate on Don Lemontoday.
I know hate's a strong word,patrick, would Jesus want you to
hate?
No, quite frankly, he wouldn't,he would not.
What word can I use?
Okay, despise.
(13:07):
I'll go with despise.
I just despise this guy.
Here we go one more time.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
I just despise this guy.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Here we go one more time.
So Don Lemon, who's a jackass,went on Pierce Morgan to greet.
Thank you very much, don PierceMorgan to greet.
Thank you very much, ladies andgentlemen, peter Paul and Mary
(13:41):
on Pat's Peeps 334.
So here's my point.
So Don Lemon, who was fired forso many insensitive comments,
where do I start?
Okay, nikki Haley, we can startthere.
He goes on Pierce Morgan's show.
Now I do a lot of interviewsand I thank you if you've been
listening to any of theinterviews that I've been doing
(14:02):
Herb Alpert or Mickey Dolenz orwhoever it might be, topo
Padilla the other day, whomeverit might be, talking about a
variety of things.
So he goes on to Pierce's showAfter he goes and makes these
comments online, going back tothe again cowardly murder of
(14:23):
Charlie Kirk.
And this is what he had to sayto those.
Just in case you missed it,this is one of the reasons why I
have these feelings about thismoron.
Oh, moron, I'll get to that ina moment.
This is one of the reasonsright here.
So listen to what he had to sayto those of you who perhaps
(14:44):
mourned the murder of charliekirk.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Here you go, don lemon the thing that is so
obvious about it and I thinkthis is so disgusting is that
you don't really care.
You don't really care aboutCharlie Kirk.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
What you care is that Let me go back and play that
little part again, just righthere.
Pay close attention here.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
So disgusting is that you don't really care.
You don't really care.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Did you hear that you don't really care?
And you don't really care?
Let's take one more listen.
You don't really care.
And then you don't really care.
Let's take one more listen.
You don't really care, youdon't really care.
So let's.
I'm going to point out rightthere, because again I'm in this
business and I can tell youthat right there, for whatever
reason, there was an edit.
This is why we really need todo our research when you don't
(15:31):
be bamboozled, my friends.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
That was an edit, so let me put that in context as we
continue charlie kirk, what youcare is that this is a moment
that you can use to to forclicks, to boost your podcast or
your streaming show or yourradio show.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Now let's point out that's exactly what he did with
his comments was clickbait,which Pierce Morgan gets into
and lets him know about that.
So I want to play it.
So now again, here's the edit.
So here's the thing when youedit, we don't know what they
edited.
So when I hear about that,let's say that Don Lemon and I
(16:14):
have really tried to find theexact transcript or the entire
thing unedited let's say thatDon Lemon said you know, those
of you who mourn for CharlieKirk in this instance, I get
that and I'm with you 100%.
(16:35):
I pray for him, whatever hemight say in that regard, I feel
your pain, whatever, Isympathize with you, whatever,
as Americans, as humans, okay,if you would have said that and
then transition into.
But for those of you who arejust there to get clickbait,
(16:58):
that's another thing.
Okay.
So that would be in a differentcontext, but clearly, having
given him the benefit of thedoubt there, he's not saying
that.
So, no matter what, even withthe edit, we listen to it.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
again, the thing that is so obvious about it and I
think this is so disgusting isthat you don't really care.
You don't really care aboutcharlie kirk.
What you care is that this is amoment that you can use to, to
for clicks, to boost yourpodcast or your streaming show
(17:34):
or your radio show.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Two things come to mind.
Number one Don two things.
What about all the lefties whoare celebrating his death?
Is that for clicks?
Is that what that's for?
Are you doing that for clicks?
I will admit, I'm trying to doa podcast here, trying to inform
, cut through BS.
And the other thing is, whichones are you talking about that
(18:02):
are doing it for clickbait?
How are you, don Lemon,deciphering between the ones
that are genuine and the onesthat are there for clickbait?
Do you know any of these people?
Do you know them?
Probably not.
So you're making thatdetermination based on what?
(18:24):
Based on your supreme wisdom,because apparently you know
people which we're going todisprove that momentarily.
So again, he goes on to PierceMorgan's show and this is how
that went.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Your reaction to Charlie Kirk's murder has
stirred up a lot of anger onpeople on the right,
particularly the clip we justheard where you talk about them
not really caring about whathappened to him and just
reacting for clicks, crying forclicks, and so on.
Do you not think that what yousaid there was insensitive?
Speaker 5 (19:02):
No, I don't.
I'm surprised because I wasactually taking up for Charlie
Kirk.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
How were you taking up for Charlie Kirk?
Again, unless that was editedand I'd like to see the entire
thing.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
I make up my mind and I decide on issues based on
what I believe in and based onfacts.
Do you agree?
I don't believe in cancelingpeople based on facts.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
And now he doesn't believe in canceling people
where, before and now, he'lltell you from the left or the
right, because he knows he'sgoing to get caught up in that.
He knows that, right, I thinkthere's a lot of cancellation
going on on the right, becausehe knows he's going to get
caught up in that.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
He knows that Right.
I think there's a lot ofcancellation going on on the
right right now and prior tothat on the left, right and the
canceling on the right.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
On the left it was hey, let's throw away things
from the past.
On the right it's.
I'm sorry.
Did you just encourage murder?
Did you just say that murderwas okay?
Are your encourage murder?
Did you just say that murder?
Speaker 4 (19:55):
was okay.
Are your sponsors going to beokay with?
Speaker 5 (19:56):
that I'm not.
I'm not comfortable, do youfeel?
I wasn't comfortable with it onthe left either right.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
I'll throw that in we're a victim of cancel culture
and cnn um, all he said was doyou keep this in mind?
Speaker 1 (20:07):
do you feel like you're a victim of cancel
culture on cnn?
That's all he asked.
Keep that in mind I.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Probably I don't.
I don't think I'd look ateverything as an opportunity,
probably, yes, I I'm sure that Iwas a victim of cancel culture,
but I would say mostly on theright for cancel culture mostly
on the right for cancel culture.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
He said that with a straight face, really.
But for those who don't knowwhat I'm talking about, this is
what led to you leaving.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
CNN.
Okay.
So now here is Pierce.
I do a lot of interviews, likeI said.
So here's Pierce going.
Okay, do you feel that you werelet go from CNN?
They decided ahead of time, asI'm going to point out, that the
conversation was going to beabout free speech.
That's the basis of theconversation.
If I had a guest on, I wouldtell them this is what we're
going to talk about.
We're just going to talk aboutthis, that and the other thing.
(20:58):
But my conversations are veryfree.
I don't set things up ahead oftime.
I don't say I'm going to askthese questions, I'm going to
ask, or you can do this, we justhave a conversation.
So, within that context, ifyou're saying we're going to
have a conversation about freespeech, now I'm going to ask you
about free speech, do you thinkyou, because we're talking
(21:20):
about Jimmy Kimmel, right, doyou think you, he says, were a
product of cancel culture?
We all have heard the JimmyKimmel clips.
We've all heard this Don Lemon,this guy's clips.
We all have heard the JimmyKimmel clips.
We've all heard this Don Lemon,this guy's clips.
But he's playing it for them,which, in my estimation as an
interviewer, is perfectlyacceptable.
You're not ambushing someonewhen you're literally giving an
(21:46):
example about what you'retalking about, when you have
agreed ahead of time to theconversation about free speech.
So here it is.
She says people you know.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
About Nikki Haley.
Politicians are something andnot in their prime.
Nikki Haley isn't in her prime,sorry.
A woman is considered to be inher prime in her 20s and 30s and
maybe 40s.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 5 (22:01):
That's not, according to me.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Prime for what?
Speaker 5 (22:03):
It depends.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Now notice when Don Lemon is saying that on
television his co-host is goingfor what?
And if you watch or listen tothat whole clip, she is not
happy Like you.
Better tell us what you'retalking about.
You better be specific To hercredit.
She takes this idiot to task.
Crime, if you look it up if youGoogle when is a woman in her
(22:29):
prime?
Speaker 3 (22:29):
it'll say 20s, 30s and 40s.
I don't necessarily 40s, oh Igot another decade.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
I'm not saying I agree with it.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Did you hear her oh?
Speaker 4 (22:40):
40s oh great, I have another decade.
How demeaning to women this guyis.
So I think she has to becareful about saying that when
you watch that don.
I happen to be watching thatlive and I was like, well, what
did you say, do you?
I mean, if you had a do-over,would you say that again, again?
I mean, what led you to say?
Speaker 5 (22:54):
that?
Okay, piers, let me just saythis I'm going to answer your
question, but just so theaudience knows and I hope you
don't cut this out when I askyou what subjects- you wanted to
talk about.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
See, now he's getting all bent out of shape because
he's put right on the spot.
So your only thing is to reactin anger at all.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
I didn't approve of this about.
You know what you said to me?
You said I want to talk to youabout, uh, freedom of speech in
right america and the responseto charlie kirk's death.
Not once did you mention thatwe were going to talk about cnn
or whatever.
So and had I known that?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
yeah, because obviously cnn has nothing to do
with free speech.
So so here's what you're goingto get you.
You're going to say this is thebasis of the conversation, now
what I'm supposed to provide youwith every little nuance that
could come up within thatconversation.
This could cover this, this,this, the possibility with
little bullet points.
(23:46):
No, it's a conversation.
You do that with any of yourfriends.
Do you bullet point each otherabout what might come up little
nuances within that conversation?
Speaker 5 (23:55):
this is an idiotic point probably wouldn't have
accepted this interview.
This have you.
You have invited me on manytimes and I tell you, peers, I
know you, uh, I would come onyour show, but I don't and I'm
gonna say one more thing.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Sorry to keep interrupting.
I apologize, but it just irksme.
If that man said to and yousaid that to me on my show,
especially if we got a littlemore hostile about it I'd look
right at my board up solo, andsay solo, go to break, we're
done with this conversation.
Then I would escort them out ofmy studio.
Guts to go.
(24:27):
Not because I don't want tohear your opinion, I've asked
your opinion.
Now you want to talk about?
Oh, I wouldn't have acceptedyour interview.
Well then, screw you, Get outof here.
Man.
And this garbage he's about tospew about ambush.
This man has no clue what anambush interview is.
(24:47):
Two panels.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
And so when you said you know I'm not going to be
involved in a panel, I agreed tocome on your show.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
But I thought you would also stick by the subjects
that you told me that you weregoing to talk about.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
It's too good to be involved in a panel.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Just to be clear, Rather than try to ambush me
with something Don just to beclear, ambush, you and I haven't
had any conversation about yourappearance here.
You're talking about my teamtalking to you.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
Yeah, no.
And I saw you, Piers, in arestaurant and I said hey, Piers
, good to see you, I would comeon your show, but I don't do
panels.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
And I said the same thing to your bookers.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Is there any one of you don't?
I'm sorry.
Is there a panel there, don?
Why do you keep repeating thatthere's no panel?
I know you're too good for thepanel.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
Because you're Don Lemon fired.
Okay and so, yes, and I saidthat's why I agreed to do it.
But when you asked me, or whenyour team asked me, what
subjects?
And I asked them two or threetimes.
I have the text messages.
What do you want to cover?
Not once was CNN mentioned, soI don't appreciate being
ambushed, but let me answer youSee that's just BS Again.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
You're not going to give your bullet points, and
asking about it isn't ambushing.
Hang on one second.
And asking about it is anambushing Hang on one second,
don don don Hang on one second,let's just be, crystal clear
about what's just happened.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
You brought up the subject of cancel culture.
I asked you did you feel yourdeparture from CNN was an
example of that?
And you answered the questionand I think it's perfectly
reasonable.
And I answered the question.
No, you didn't.
If you'd said to me I don'twant to talk about it.
(26:20):
No, you didn't.
He played the video and youjust went off on a rant.
Rewind.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
You didn't answer the question now if you want to say
well, he answered the questionby saying yeah, maybe I was.
I'm not sure, maybe I was.
Isn't it fair to explore that alittle bit?
You're exploring Jimmy Kimmel'scancellation air quotes, aren't
you?
You're the one that went out ofyour way to tell me when they
were so phony about the reactionto Charlie Kirk.
So why is it not fair?
(26:43):
Don't, we don't, we don't, Idon't like arguing like this.
I'm not going to go into anargument with you, Okay listen
to this.
Please listen to this part.
This is one of the key parts ofthis and I just want to.
Then I'll let him talk.
He doesn't want to argue withhim.
Okay, that's not what hedoesn't want to do.
He doesn't want to argue, sohere we go.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
I think that's completely disingenuous and I
think anyone watching this willknow what are you talking about.

I'm glad you watch me .
No, I don't why.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
You just get clipped everywhere, I know, but why
don't you?
You said you don't watch me,but you.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Before I realized that CNN and MSNBC were full of
shit.
Every once in a while I'd betalking.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
What do?
Speaker 3 (29:34):
you watch?
Speaker 5 (29:35):
I watch all sorts of stuff.
Good for you.
Why do you say CNN and MSNBCare full of shit Because they
lie?
How do you about what Bespecific?
Everything, what's everything,Everything.
You say that but you have noexamples.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Give me some examples .
Well, they lie about all wars.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
They're not lying about genocide.
They lie, they lie.
Hold on, let me finish.
One thing at a time.
One thing at a time.
Don't tell me what I can speak.
One thing at a time.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Did you hear that?
Did you hear that?
Listen to this ass.
One thing at a time.
One thing at a time.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Don't tell me when to speak,man, I was minding my own
business.
I'm walking down the streetminding my own business, brother
.
You walked up to me, bro,you're a liar.
(30:18):
You spew rhetoric.
No one shot you in the neck.
You're up here talking to me,accosting me, telling me when I
can speak my mind.
You're a liar Don here speakingof an ambush interview.
This is a man complaining toPiers Morgan about a quote
(30:40):
ambush interview, and she'sabove calling you names back.
You just call him a straight-upmoron.
Here we go.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
So the international courts are calling it genocide.
It's not MSNBC or CNN that'scalling it that, so they're just
reporting what they're callingit.
It was obvious what it was.
You said they lied aboutgenocide.
That it wasn't genocide.
It was then.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
I think now the international court has said
that's why I said you're a moronto begin with.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
Why would you call me a moron?
Speaker 3 (31:05):
You're a moron.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
See, see, don't call me a moron.
You're a moron but again, justto be clear, he's above that, so
he could go tit for tat.
But you know, now here'sanother one.
(31:29):
Here he is getting shut.
And listen to the people thathe's talking to.
These I don't know, I'm notsure if it was Harlem, where it
said it was.
These are blacks in I'm notsure which community, but they
happen to be black and so Don,being black, he's going to go up
(31:51):
there and he's going to playthe race card and do this.
But listen to their response,although there's a weird, a
weird crazy response in here.
But let's listen here for asecond it's just messed up,
totally messed up.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
You know that was messed up like nobody deserved
that.
He definitely didn't deservethat.
He was a good guy.
Speaker 5 (32:09):
You think he was a good guy.
I think he was scumbag.
So there's a guy in there.
He was a scumbag.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
So there's a guy in there.
He was a scumbag, okay.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
Good moral.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
See, listen to this guy.
I can't tell if this guy isbeing cynical to Don Lemon and
going because he says the onlyKirk you recognize is Captain
Kirk.
And then I can't tell if hesaid that wrong or if he's being
a wise guy or whether hedoesn't like Charlie.
But listen, he being a wise guy, or whether he doesn't like
Charlie, but listen, he was agood guy.
I think he was Scumbag.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
The only Kirk you recognize is Captain Kirk.
The what the only Kirk yourecognize is Captain Kirk.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
The only Kirk you recognize is Captain Kirk.
But then I get confused here.
I don't know Charlie Kirk, Idon't know who that is.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
You don't know who it is Because now he doesn't know
who that is.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
I know who it was.
That joke felt fun.
All of us have flaws.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
I can't really tell you what to believe in or how to
feel.
Everybody's having a humanexperience.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Now listen.
Everyone gets on this.
Don Lemon, Check this.
I love this.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Why knock him for having this human experience or
what he believes in?
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Even though he says things that are anti-women black
, which, is not true.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
I even though he says things that are anti-women,
black, which is not true, Ican't judge him for that.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
You can't.
I can't judge him for that, andit's literally not true.
You're such a freaking liar.
This is why you're not on TVanymore.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
But I can use judgment.
He didn't deserve that.
He's a human being.
You are very spiritual andyou're not.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
I can't go left with that.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
No, you sound like you mean left, going left, not
left, Because I'm humanity,that's right ma'am.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
I love that.
God bless you, ma'am.
The first person I spoke tohere didn't want to be on camera
and he said I can't judge himbecause I'm not God, and so let
him, you know, let the, whateverthe reaction is that the
government wants to give him.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Listen to what happens at the end.
So when Don is talking here, hekeeps touching this lady.
He was talking, he's completelytouching her constantly.
Listen to the guy in thebackground, isn't that a little
bit?
Isn't that a lot?
Speaker 3 (34:05):
of touching.
He didn't want to be on cameraand he said I can't judge him
because I'm not God, and so lethim, you know, let the.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
whatever the reaction is, he's a very touchy guy.
He's a very touchy guy.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Lemon, lemon, yellow and brown Bumpy skin, so rough
to touch.
Get ready for a sour delight.

Thank you.
You know it is a Friday and Ireally am in a great mood.
It was wonderful to get outyesterday.
I actually really enjoyedgetting my workout in and I want
to do that again today on a daylike this, especially when it's
(02:02):
not so hot.
But I enjoyed getting out andjust talking.
It was a good time, so I wantto keep that going.
So I'm going to do it today,but I'm going to spare you the
heavy breathing today.
I mean unless something elsecomes up.
I can't guarantee that and on aday like this I want to keep it
so light.
It was fun keeping it light onthe show last night, by the way.
(02:24):
By the way, I'm also the hostof the Pat Walsh Radio.
It's the Pat Walsh Show asheard on radio KFBK radio, to be
precise, sacramento 93.1 FM,1530 AM, and I'm on 7 to 10 PM
Monday through Friday.
I do realize, by the way, thatwe really have an enormous
(02:45):
audience for that show.
I mean, it is amazing to me IfI could encourage all of the
people that listen to my radioshow to come on and listen to my
podcast.
I always try to do that, but,boy, that would be huge.
But literally I'm preaching tothe choir right now because
those of you who are listeningto my show and my podcast,
(03:05):
you're already doing that.
But we have a great andever-growing community here with
Pat's Peeps.
And again, I always remind youit's not just about the podcast,
it's about if you would go usesome of the businesses that we
try to feature Anyhow, whatever.
We'll go deep into that today.
That we try to feature Anyhow,whatever, we'll go deep into
(03:26):
that today.
But my point was we had fun lastnight on the show talking about
debut albums, like what is thegreatest debut album, trying to
just kind of ease our way outfor the moment from all the
horrendous news we've beenhearing lately.
You know, I think sometimes,like I said yesterday, it's good
for the soul.
I talked all about thatyesterday, so we did that on the
(03:47):
show last night.
Thank you to Tammy for hersuggestion on that one.
Lots of calls.
You know what I did realize.
Someone called I think it wasTim in Fair Oaks actually that
called and he mentioned that.
You know, pat I don't know howmany people really.
(04:09):
He said you're so and I'm notsaying this in an egotistical
way, but this is what he said hegoes and people will tell me
this you're so knowledgeable onmusic and you know all the debut
stuff, the debut albums, butmost people don't.
(04:30):
They don't know what the debutalbums are.
I don't mean to go down thatrabbit hole because now I
literally want to sit here andplay debut albums.
How far am I into this?
Some of the ones that I talkedabout were Boston, their debut
back in 76.
The very same year there wasanother great debut album.
Two great debut albums thatcame out that year.
(04:50):
You had Boston's first albumand then you had Tom Petty's
first album Very differentsounds, but that was a great
year for music.
You know, when you have twogreat debuts, you know there was
(05:13):
like three years in a row wherethere were great debut records
that came out Probably more thanthat.
I mean I'm sure there's muchmore than that, many more than
that, as I think about it.
There were, but I can't go onand on.
But this is a good, you know,breakdown the first, tom Petty.
But there's songs on thisrecord that I like even more
than this one Tom Petty and theHeartbreakers.
(05:36):
We can't lose the fact that itwas the Heartbreakers.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
It's all right if you love me.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Pat's Peeps 334.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
It's all right if you love me.
Pat's Peeps 334.
It's all right if you don't.
I'm not afraid of you runningaway.
Honey, I get the feeling youwon't.
You see, there is no sense inpretending your eyes.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
You know there was another one that came out that
year.
Well, not that year, Not thatyear, excuse me.
A couple of years later,actually 78.
78 was a great year for debutalbums, in my opinion.
Three of the best, Three of myfavorite debut albums came out
in 78.
(06:25):
Dire Straits.
Nothing sounded like this Atthat time.
(06:46):
Nothing sounded like this, andthere were three albums from 78
that I will say the same thingabout Nothing ever sounded like
this, and a fine coal miner Forthe MCB that was.
So you had your dire straitsthat year 78.
Also in 78, you had this coolnew band Like what is this?
(07:10):
I've never heard anything quitelike this, but I couldn't help
but to love it, and the more Ilistened the more I loved it.
The Cars' first album.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I had never heard anything like that.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
I got the cassette and I put it on and I'm like my
best friend's girlfriend, letthe good times roll, all mixed
up, moving in stereo.
What a record.
It sounded so different thanthe other stuff I'd been
listening to Black Sabbath,judas Priest, the Ramones, the
Tubes.
Listening to Black Sabbath,judas Priest, the Ramones, the
(08:16):
Tubes it's like they weredefinitely, in my opinion,
influenced by one of the manybands who were influenced by
Kraftwerk, the German band.
And then in 78, I had neverheard anything that sounded like
this until 78.
Van Halen, their debut, theirdebut.
(09:00):
It was awesome.
Eruption, running With theDevil, atomic Punk, ice Cream
man.
And here's the thing that Ihere's an opinion, here's my
opinion on this record, howimportant this was.
(09:22):
So you know, again I'd be.
I was listening to all thebands I just mentioned Montrose,
pink Floyd, led Zeppelin, youknow those bands.
And all of a sudden this comesout.
Now think about this time.
So you had Zeppelin's finalrecord coming out the next year,
(09:42):
79.
But the previous year to theCars and Van Halen and all these
great albums that came out in78 that I just played for you
previous to that, in matter offact, the previous year, like
you would have stuff coming outlike like you had New Wave, you
had punk rock.
(10:04):
The Ramones came out in 77.
I didn't catch on until 78 withRocket to Russia.
But you know, you had thingslike.
I mean, you just had otherbands that were sort of new wave
, which were the cars, were newwave, but there was punk, there
was disco and suddenly rock,heavy rock.
(10:28):
It was the bands like Montroseand Ted Nugent.
By 78, after Free For All andall this, ted Nugent was kind of
, his popularity was waning alittle bit.
But here comes Van Halen andsuddenly when Van Halen came out
oh please, I mean thispropelled rock and roll again.
(10:52):
People got right back into rockand Van Halen became huge.
And suddenly, if you go backand listen to, for instance,
going back to Judas Priest, 1980, if you have British Steel,
huge.
If you go to Black Sabbath withRonnie James Dio, heaven and
Hell 1980.
If you go to 1980 and go toanother great year for rock
(11:16):
Alton says I'm mentioning theseBack in Black ACDC.
So Van Halen, two yearsprevious, with this record I
think it resurrected the genreof heavy rock and roll.
I remember the first time whenthis came on the radio.
I was blown away.
(11:36):
I was more blown away by thisthan I was.
Eruption and the Kinks coverreally got you, really got me
when I heard this like what the?
Are you kidding me, man?
What See how far I drifted awayfrom Don Lemon, which is why I
(11:59):
came here to talk about today.
I came here to talk about.
I get so easily sidetrackedsidetracked Anyhow.
(12:19):
I don't own the rights to that.
You know what I mean.
You know what I mean.
You know what I mean.
Speaking of music, ladies andgentlemen, right here on Pants,
peeps 334, I needed that bridge,that musical bridge, to get me
back into this topic.
I remember my mom singing thiswhen I was just a wee lad.
(12:46):
So I'm here, if you don't mind.
I'm here to hate on Don Lemontoday.
I know hate's a strong word,patrick, would Jesus want you to
hate?
No, quite frankly, he wouldn't,he would not.
What word can I use?
Okay, despise.
(13:07):
I'll go with despise.
I just despise this guy.
Here we go one more time.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
I just despise this guy.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Here we go one more time.
So Don Lemon, who's a jackass,went on Pierce Morgan to greet.
Thank you very much, don PierceMorgan to greet.
Thank you very much, ladies andgentlemen, peter Paul and Mary
(13:41):
on Pat's Peeps 334.
So here's my point.
So Don Lemon, who was fired forso many insensitive comments,
where do I start?
Okay, nikki Haley, we can startthere.
He goes on Pierce Morgan's show.
Now I do a lot of interviewsand I thank you if you've been
listening to any of theinterviews that I've been doing
(14:02):
Herb Alpert or Mickey Dolenz orwhoever it might be, topo
Padilla the other day, whomeverit might be, talking about a
variety of things.
So he goes on to Pierce's showAfter he goes and makes these
comments online, going back tothe again cowardly murder of
(14:23):
Charlie Kirk.
And this is what he had to sayto those.
Just in case you missed it,this is one of the reasons why I
have these feelings about thismoron.
Oh, moron, I'll get to that ina moment.
This is one of the reasonsright here.
So listen to what he had to sayto those of you who perhaps
(14:44):
mourned the murder of charliekirk.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Here you go, don lemon the thing that is so
obvious about it and I thinkthis is so disgusting is that
you don't really care.
You don't really care aboutCharlie Kirk.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
What you care is that Let me go back and play that
little part again, just righthere.
Pay close attention here.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
So disgusting is that you don't really care.
You don't really care.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Did you hear that you don't really care?
And you don't really care?
Let's take one more listen.
You don't really care.
And then you don't really care.
Let's take one more listen.
You don't really care, youdon't really care.
So let's.
I'm going to point out rightthere, because again I'm in this
business and I can tell youthat right there, for whatever
reason, there was an edit.
This is why we really need todo our research when you don't
(15:31):
be bamboozled, my friends.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
That was an edit, so let me put that in context as we
continue charlie kirk, what youcare is that this is a moment
that you can use to to forclicks, to boost your podcast or
your streaming show or yourradio show.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Now let's point out that's exactly what he did with
his comments was clickbait,which Pierce Morgan gets into
and lets him know about that.
So I want to play it.
So now again, here's the edit.
So here's the thing when youedit, we don't know what they
edited.
So when I hear about that,let's say that Don Lemon and I
(16:14):
have really tried to find theexact transcript or the entire
thing unedited let's say thatDon Lemon said you know, those
of you who mourn for CharlieKirk in this instance, I get
that and I'm with you 100%.
(16:35):
I pray for him, whatever hemight say in that regard, I feel
your pain, whatever, Isympathize with you, whatever,
as Americans, as humans, okay,if you would have said that and
then transition into.
But for those of you who arejust there to get clickbait,
(16:58):
that's another thing.
Okay.
So that would be in a differentcontext, but clearly, having
given him the benefit of thedoubt there, he's not saying
that.
So, no matter what, even withthe edit, we listen to it.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
again, the thing that is so obvious about it and I
think this is so disgusting isthat you don't really care.
You don't really care aboutcharlie kirk.
What you care is that this is amoment that you can use to, to
for clicks, to boost yourpodcast or your streaming show
(17:34):
or your radio show.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Two things come to mind.
Number one Don two things.
What about all the lefties whoare celebrating his death?
Is that for clicks?
Is that what that's for?
Are you doing that for clicks?
I will admit, I'm trying to doa podcast here, trying to inform
, cut through BS.
And the other thing is, whichones are you talking about that
(18:02):
are doing it for clickbait?
How are you, don Lemon,deciphering between the ones
that are genuine and the onesthat are there for clickbait?
Do you know any of these people?
Do you know them?
Probably not.
So you're making thatdetermination based on what?
(18:24):
Based on your supreme wisdom,because apparently you know
people which we're going todisprove that momentarily.
So again, he goes on to PierceMorgan's show and this is how
that went.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Your reaction to Charlie Kirk's murder has
stirred up a lot of anger onpeople on the right,
particularly the clip we justheard where you talk about them
not really caring about whathappened to him and just
reacting for clicks, crying forclicks, and so on.
Do you not think that what yousaid there was insensitive?
Speaker 5 (19:02):
No, I don't.
I'm surprised because I wasactually taking up for Charlie
Kirk.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
How were you taking up for Charlie Kirk?
Again, unless that was editedand I'd like to see the entire
thing.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
I make up my mind and I decide on issues based on
what I believe in and based onfacts.
Do you agree?
I don't believe in cancelingpeople based on facts.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
And now he doesn't believe in canceling people
where, before and now, he'lltell you from the left or the
right, because he knows he'sgoing to get caught up in that.
He knows that, right, I thinkthere's a lot of cancellation
going on on the right, becausehe knows he's going to get
caught up in that.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
He knows that Right.
I think there's a lot ofcancellation going on on the
right right now and prior tothat on the left, right and the
canceling on the right.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
On the left it was hey, let's throw away things
from the past.
On the right it's.
I'm sorry.
Did you just encourage murder?
Did you just say that murderwas okay?
Are your encourage murder?
Did you just say that murder?
Speaker 4 (19:55):
was okay.
Are your sponsors going to beokay with?
Speaker 5 (19:56):
that I'm not.
I'm not comfortable, do youfeel?
I wasn't comfortable with it onthe left either right.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
I'll throw that in we're a victim of cancel culture
and cnn um, all he said was doyou keep this in mind?
Speaker 1 (20:07):
do you feel like you're a victim of cancel
culture on cnn?
That's all he asked.
Keep that in mind I.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Probably I don't.
I don't think I'd look ateverything as an opportunity,
probably, yes, I I'm sure that Iwas a victim of cancel culture,
but I would say mostly on theright for cancel culture mostly
on the right for cancel culture.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
He said that with a straight face, really.
But for those who don't knowwhat I'm talking about, this is
what led to you leaving.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
CNN.
Okay.
So now here is Pierce.
I do a lot of interviews, likeI said.
So here's Pierce going.
Okay, do you feel that you werelet go from CNN?
They decided ahead of time, asI'm going to point out, that the
conversation was going to beabout free speech.
That's the basis of theconversation.
If I had a guest on, I wouldtell them this is what we're
going to talk about.
We're just going to talk aboutthis, that and the other thing.
(20:58):
But my conversations are veryfree.
I don't set things up ahead oftime.
I don't say I'm going to askthese questions, I'm going to
ask, or you can do this, we justhave a conversation.
So, within that context, ifyou're saying we're going to
have a conversation about freespeech, now I'm going to ask you
about free speech, do you thinkyou, because we're talking
(21:20):
about Jimmy Kimmel, right, doyou think you, he says, were a
product of cancel culture?
We all have heard the JimmyKimmel clips.
We've all heard this Don Lemon,this guy's clips.
We all have heard the JimmyKimmel clips.
We've all heard this Don Lemon,this guy's clips.
But he's playing it for them,which, in my estimation as an
interviewer, is perfectlyacceptable.
You're not ambushing someonewhen you're literally giving an
(21:46):
example about what you'retalking about, when you have
agreed ahead of time to theconversation about free speech.
So here it is.
She says people you know.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
About Nikki Haley.
Politicians are something andnot in their prime.
Nikki Haley isn't in her prime,sorry.
A woman is considered to be inher prime in her 20s and 30s and
maybe 40s.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 5 (22:01):
That's not, according to me.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Prime for what?
Speaker 5 (22:03):
It depends.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Now notice when Don Lemon is saying that on
television his co-host is goingfor what?
And if you watch or listen tothat whole clip, she is not
happy Like you.
Better tell us what you'retalking about.
You better be specific To hercredit.
She takes this idiot to task.
Crime, if you look it up if youGoogle when is a woman in her
(22:29):
prime?
Speaker 3 (22:29):
it'll say 20s, 30s and 40s.
I don't necessarily 40s, oh Igot another decade.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
I'm not saying I agree with it.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Did you hear her oh?
Speaker 4 (22:40):
40s oh great, I have another decade.
How demeaning to women this guyis.
So I think she has to becareful about saying that when
you watch that don.
I happen to be watching thatlive and I was like, well, what
did you say, do you?
I mean, if you had a do-over,would you say that again, again?
I mean, what led you to say?
Speaker 5 (22:54):
that?
Okay, piers, let me just saythis I'm going to answer your
question, but just so theaudience knows and I hope you
don't cut this out when I askyou what subjects- you wanted to
talk about.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
See, now he's getting all bent out of shape because
he's put right on the spot.
So your only thing is to reactin anger at all.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
I didn't approve of this about.
You know what you said to me?
You said I want to talk to youabout, uh, freedom of speech in
right america and the responseto charlie kirk's death.
Not once did you mention thatwe were going to talk about cnn
or whatever.
So and had I known that?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
yeah, because obviously cnn has nothing to do
with free speech.
So so here's what you're goingto get you.
You're going to say this is thebasis of the conversation, now
what I'm supposed to provide youwith every little nuance that
could come up within thatconversation.
This could cover this, this,this, the possibility with
little bullet points.
(23:46):
No, it's a conversation.
You do that with any of yourfriends.
Do you bullet point each otherabout what might come up little
nuances within that conversation?
Speaker 5 (23:55):
this is an idiotic point probably wouldn't have
accepted this interview.
This have you.
You have invited me on manytimes and I tell you, peers, I
know you, uh, I would come onyour show, but I don't and I'm
gonna say one more thing.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Sorry to keep interrupting.
I apologize, but it just irksme.
If that man said to and yousaid that to me on my show,
especially if we got a littlemore hostile about it I'd look
right at my board up solo, andsay solo, go to break, we're
done with this conversation.
Then I would escort them out ofmy studio.
Guts to go.
(24:27):
Not because I don't want tohear your opinion, I've asked
your opinion.
Now you want to talk about?
Oh, I wouldn't have acceptedyour interview.
Well then, screw you, Get outof here.
Man.
And this garbage he's about tospew about ambush.
This man has no clue what anambush interview is.
(24:47):
Two panels.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
And so when you said you know I'm not going to be
involved in a panel, I agreed tocome on your show.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
But I thought you would also stick by the subjects
that you told me that you weregoing to talk about.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
It's too good to be involved in a panel.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Just to be clear, Rather than try to ambush me
with something Don just to beclear, ambush, you and I haven't
had any conversation about yourappearance here.
You're talking about my teamtalking to you.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
Yeah, no.
And I saw you, Piers, in arestaurant and I said hey, Piers
, good to see you, I would comeon your show, but I don't do
panels.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
And I said the same thing to your bookers.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Is there any one of you don't?
I'm sorry.
Is there a panel there, don?
Why do you keep repeating thatthere's no panel?
I know you're too good for thepanel.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
Because you're Don Lemon fired.
Okay and so, yes, and I saidthat's why I agreed to do it.
But when you asked me, or whenyour team asked me, what
subjects?
And I asked them two or threetimes.
I have the text messages.
What do you want to cover?
Not once was CNN mentioned, soI don't appreciate being
ambushed, but let me answer youSee that's just BS Again.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
You're not going to give your bullet points, and
asking about it isn't ambushing.
Hang on one second.
And asking about it is anambushing Hang on one second,
don don don Hang on one second,let's just be, crystal clear
about what's just happened.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
You brought up the subject of cancel culture.
I asked you did you feel yourdeparture from CNN was an
example of that?
And you answered the questionand I think it's perfectly
reasonable.
And I answered the question.
No, you didn't.
If you'd said to me I don'twant to talk about it.
(26:20):
No, you didn't.
He played the video and youjust went off on a rant.
Rewind.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
You didn't answer the question now if you want to say
well, he answered the questionby saying yeah, maybe I was.
I'm not sure, maybe I was.
Isn't it fair to explore that alittle bit?
You're exploring Jimmy Kimmel'scancellation air quotes, aren't
you?
You're the one that went out ofyour way to tell me when they
were so phony about the reactionto Charlie Kirk.
So why is it not fair?
(26:43):
Don't, we don't, we don't, Idon't like arguing like this.
I'm not going to go into anargument with you, Okay listen
to this.
Please listen to this part.
This is one of the key parts ofthis and I just want to.
Then I'll let him talk.
He doesn't want to argue withhim.
Okay, that's not what hedoesn't want to do.
He doesn't want to argue, sohere we go.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
I think that's completely disingenuous and I
think anyone watching this willknow what are you talking about.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
And so if you about, okay, I'm, did you invite me
here to interrupt me, are yougonna?
I think you're being a completedick.
If I'm honest, good for yougood for you.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
I do too.
Okay, I do well, that's verykind and respectful of you,
because you are homonym attacks.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
I could respond in kind you can say what you like
about me.
I think that I am.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
I think that I'm above that.
I don't, I don't, I don't, I'mnot going to do that pierce.
That's not who I am.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Okay, there we go okay, that's what I wanted you
to hear.
He could respond in kind, buthe's above that.
He's not going to do that.
He's don lemon.
That's not who don lemon is.
He's not gonna do that.
He's not going to do that.
He's not going to call yournames back and get into that
kind of stuff, right?
(27:56):
I mean, obviously, if it didn't, you know that's Peeves 334.
Speaker 2 (28:05):

Speaker 5 (29:22):
You just get clipped everywhere, I know, but why
don't you?
You said you don't watch me,but you.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Before I realized that CNN and MSNBC were full of
shit.
Every once in a while I'd betalking.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
What do?
Speaker 3 (29:34):
you watch?
Speaker 5 (29:35):
I watch all sorts of stuff.
Good for you.
Why do you say CNN and MSNBCare full of shit Because they
lie?
How do you about what Bespecific?
Everything, what's everything,Everything.
You say that but you have noexamples.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Give me some examples .
Well, they lie about all wars.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
They're not lying about genocide.
They lie, they lie.
Hold on, let me finish.
One thing at a time.
One thing at a time.
Don't tell me what I can speak.
One thing at a time.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Did you hear that?
Did you hear that?
Listen to this ass.
One thing at a time.
One thing at a time.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Don't tell me when to speak,man, I was minding my own
business.
I'm walking down the streetminding my own business, brother
.
You walked up to me, bro,you're a liar.
(30:18):
You spew rhetoric.
No one shot you in the neck.
You're up here talking to me,accosting me, telling me when I
can speak my mind.
You're a liar Don here speakingof an ambush interview.
This is a man complaining toPiers Morgan about a quote
(30:40):
ambush interview, and she'sabove calling you names back.
You just call him a straight-upmoron.
Here we go.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
So the international courts are calling it genocide.
It's not MSNBC or CNN that'scalling it that, so they're just
reporting what they're callingit.
It was obvious what it was.
You said they lied aboutgenocide.
That it wasn't genocide.
It was then.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
I think now the international court has said
that's why I said you're a moronto begin with.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
Why would you call me a moron?
Speaker 3 (31:05):
You're a moron.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
See, see, don't call me a moron.
You're a moron but again, justto be clear, he's above that, so
he could go tit for tat.
But you know, now here'sanother one.
(31:29):
Here he is getting shut.
And listen to the people thathe's talking to.
These I don't know, I'm notsure if it was Harlem, where it
said it was.
These are blacks in I'm notsure which community, but they
happen to be black and so Don,being black, he's going to go up
(31:51):
there and he's going to playthe race card and do this.
But listen to their response,although there's a weird, a
weird crazy response in here.
But let's listen here for asecond it's just messed up,
totally messed up.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
You know that was messed up like nobody deserved
that.
He definitely didn't deservethat.
He was a good guy.
Speaker 5 (32:09):
You think he was a good guy.
I think he was scumbag.
So there's a guy in there.
He was a scumbag.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
So there's a guy in there.
He was a scumbag, okay.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
Good moral.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
See, listen to this guy.
I can't tell if this guy isbeing cynical to Don Lemon and
going because he says the onlyKirk you recognize is Captain
Kirk.
And then I can't tell if hesaid that wrong or if he's being
a wise guy or whether hedoesn't like Charlie.
But listen, he being a wise guy, or whether he doesn't like
Charlie, but listen, he was agood guy.
I think he was Scumbag.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
The only Kirk you recognize is Captain Kirk.
The what the only Kirk yourecognize is Captain Kirk.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
The only Kirk you recognize is Captain Kirk.
But then I get confused here.
I don't know Charlie Kirk, Idon't know who that is.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
You don't know who it is Because now he doesn't know
who that is.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
I know who it was.
That joke felt fun.
All of us have flaws.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
I can't really tell you what to believe in or how to
feel.
Everybody's having a humanexperience.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Now listen.
Everyone gets on this.
Don Lemon, Check this.
I love this.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Why knock him for having this human experience or
what he believes in?
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Even though he says things that are anti-women black
, which, is not true.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
I even though he says things that are anti-women,
black, which is not true, Ican't judge him for that.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
You can't.
I can't judge him for that, andit's literally not true.
You're such a freaking liar.
This is why you're not on TVanymore.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
But I can use judgment.
He didn't deserve that.
He's a human being.
You are very spiritual andyou're not.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
I can't go left with that.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
No, you sound like you mean left, going left, not
left, Because I'm humanity,that's right ma'am.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
I love that.
God bless you, ma'am.
The first person I spoke tohere didn't want to be on camera
and he said I can't judge himbecause I'm not God, and so let
him, you know, let the, whateverthe reaction is that the
government wants to give him.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Listen to what happens at the end.
So when Don is talking here, hekeeps touching this lady.
He was talking, he's completelytouching her constantly.
Listen to the guy in thebackground, isn't that a little
bit?
Isn't that a lot?
Speaker 3 (34:05):
of touching.
He didn't want to be on cameraand he said I can't judge him
because I'm not God, and so lethim, you know, let the.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
whatever the reaction is, he's a very touchy guy.
He's a very touchy guy.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Lemon, lemon, yellow and brown Bumpy skin, so rough
to touch.
Get ready for a sour delight.
