Uh Oh, Donald...This Fully Backfires In Their Face

The transcript combines two distinct narratives: one promotional, centered on AMN Healthcare as a comprehensive, AI-powered workforce solutions provider offering real-time visibility, multilingual support, and integrated services across clinical and non-clinical roles; and another satirical political commentary titled "The Weekend Read," hosted by Don Lemon and Jennifer Welch. The political segment critically examines MAGA-aligned figures and media, revealing pervasive homophobia, racism, misogyny, and anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric. It targets individuals like Jesse Waters, J.D. Vance, and Pete Hegseth for promoting offensive and dehumanizing views on gender, race, and democracy. The commentary argues that MAGA ideology normalizes harmful behaviors — such as domestic abuse and discriminatory speech — and that these actions are politically expedient, not principled. It highlights how such rhetoric undermines democratic values, distorts public discourse, and fuels systemic inequality. The segment concludes by urging civic engagement, media accountability, and a rejection of self-serving political narratives, emphasizing that voters must take responsibility for the outcomes of their choices. While the AMN Healthcare section promotes workforce efficiency and inclusion, the political critique serves as a sharp exposé of the toxic elements within certain political movements, framing them as fundamentally at odds with progressive values and democratic integrity.

Welcome, welcome to The Weekend Read, a Welch's Lemonade production. We are here right now squeezing it and juicing it up. Don Lemon, tell everybody what we're going to be doing next Wednesday in Boston. Oh, let's see. I'm going to be hanging with you. I'm going to be, we're going to be, we're going to be on stage in the same room together. Wait, do you have the book? You better have that book right there. So, Jennifer Welch has a new book, and guess who's moderating it? Jennifer Welch is moderating the conversation called Not Today Fascists. So, I guess I'm not a fascist because I will be there that day, not today, but I will be there. I'm so excited for you. Are you ready for this? Are you ready for me, Jen? I am so ready. I am absolutely ready. So, if you're in Boston, there's only a few tickets left. I mean, you drop the Don Lemon as the moderator. Those tickets sell fast. There's just a few left. So, anybody in the Boston area wants a little Welch's Lemonade in person in Boston next Wednesday at 7. But let's get to MAGA ripping, what we do best. Yes, I'm ready. The first item up to review with the Welch's Lemonade community is one Benny Johnson. One Benny Johnson who, let's just remind the people, when Benny Johnson was doing a search on the Google, Google sends you targeted ads based on your previous search history. So, let's tee it up this way. So, one day, Benny's Googling, and he gets targeted for this ad. Kylie, pop this up. So, he tweets, during advertising on the Military Times right now, and he pops it up. And the ad that he, Benny, was targeted based on his Google search is the world's largest gay cruise. Well, since then, there's been a lot of leaking in conservative places where they say that Benny Johnson's been making out with men at conservative conferences. Jen, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. I don't want to hear leaking in conservative places. I don't want that image in my head. Ew, because you know they're freaky and weird. Mm-hmm. All right. Sorry. Sorry. Go on. No, I agree. But the press is getting pretty awesome about this. I think this might be TMZ. Play the clip. Are you a homosexual? No. Were you a homosexual? No. Next question. Well, then, why are there so many allegations against us? Because people lie. People lie. They're all lies. Yes. Saeed Jones was lying when he said he made out with you in the BuzzFeed dressing room. All right. Well, we'll see what happens. How come you didn't sue Milo? You said you were going to sue him, right? I want to sue Milo. What? I want to sue Milo. You want to sue Milo? But you don't want discovery, right? No, I'd be fine with discovery. All right. Well, let's see what happens. Don. Ooh. Tsk, tsk. Ooh. Oh, what a web we weave. And first, we practice to deceive. Uh-huh. Those rumors have been out there. Jen, you and I have spoken about it. I have someone who has told me that they have had relations and let's just put encounters or an encounter at least with our said subject. So I would say, allegedly, reportedly, that's what they say to me, that he is not the only one who says that. And that has been for years. This is when I was at CNN. This has been out there. And it's, look. It's not just among, you know, people that they deem liberal. Conservatives talk about it. They talk about it openly. All one has to do is a Google search, Jen. Where's the lie? Am I wrong? You're right. Benny did a Google search, and he was sure targeted by the community he fetishizes at night on a little gay cruise. It's so hilarious, the cell phone and that. But speaking of conservatives. You know what? When I first saw Benny Johnson, I wasn't aware of him when I was in Maine. It's for me, when I first saw him, I said, oh, who's that gay guy? I immediately my my gaydar went up. I'm like, I'm like, oh, I'm like, oh, who's that gay in the black T-shirt, like doing his best Anderson Cooper black tie T-shirt thing with the glasses. And then they're like, and then I found out it was Benny Johnson. He was talking about his wife and Christianity. And I went, oh, God, here we go anyways. Yeah, yeah, you don't get a ping. You're good. You have a good gaydar, Jen. I really good gaydar. Yeah, yeah. I'm excellent gaydar. Total, total ping. I mean, 100 percent. And I mean, you could tell by the way he answered that question. The I've watched enough like body language experts, the way he kind of. No, no. I mean, if somebody came to me and said, are you a lesbian? I'd be like, where'd you hear that? Like, what's going on with that? No, I know. Can I tell you what you would say? When someone said, Jen, are you a lesbian? You go, I wish. But I just I'm not. And if I was, honey, I would tell you. But, you know, I have a friend. I have straight friends who will say it. Would be. People ask him if they're gay. They'll say, thank you for the compliment. I wish I was. But I'm just not interested in that. You know, it's cool to be gay. We're stylish. We're handsome. We're smart. We're successful. We're overachievers. All the things. But I think you say the same thing. You'd like. Yeah, I wish I was. I would love to. AMN Healthcare, powered by WorkWise, gives you real time visibility and control through one workforce platform that integrates with your existing solutions.

AMN Healthcare, one workforce partner, total support. I would love to have a wife. You wouldn't have to deal with men's drama if you did. Exactly. And I wish I wish that that was for me, but it's just not. I have to deal with all the men and my very high maintenance husband, whom I love very, very much. OK, let's move along to speaking. Speaking of gay coded stuff, Jesse Waters is sucking balls on Fox News. Play the clip. OK, you can't watch me while I suck the straws. And then he made that really weird laughing noise. Remember, he's like, oh, I got a ball in my mouth. Yes, yes. So at the bottom of it, there's balls, right, Kennedy? That's right. Tapioca balls. Tapioca balls. All right. Oh, OK. So did you notice, Don, at the beginning, he goes, don't watch me sucking this. It's private. He had there's there's footage after footage of him on The Five talking about the way men suck. The way men suck straws. The way men. Kylie. Play the clip. Hit the. Hit Kennedy. We're building a soundboard for Welch's Lemonade. That's why. Even get in the bestiality. The Welch's Lemonade community needs the soundboard. This is the Friday. This is the Friday. Wait, look, look, look, look, look. I can do it now. Ah, we got. We'll get better and better. OK. So there's a lot of footage of Miss Waters talking about how Joe Biden likes ice cream and how men should eat soup. He's very consumed with how men use their mouths. And you notice when he just took a drink of a coffee tapioca drink, he says, don't watch me suck this. It's private. That's a weird tell. And then, of course, he's like, oh, my God, I got a ball in my mouth. Just the minute. The minute he thought about sucking, it's he goes straight to a ball in the mouth. Well, anybody, Jen, who is that concerned about looking as if they might be doing what they're doing is, in my experience, the bigger the homophobe, the bigger the hypocrite, the bigger the closet is. And most people are not concerned about eating ice cream in public because, look, it's not looking at ice cream cone is nothing to do with being gay. Sucking out of a straw has nothing to do with being gay. And if you're that concerned about it, there's something wrong with you. And most likely you're probably having you have gay tendencies. You want to you want to actually suck on a straw and lick on an ice cream cone, if you know what I mean, and get whatever happens that came out of the bottom of that straw. The balls. Hey, don't forget the balls. Don't forget the balls, Jesse. Okay, staying on. miss waters here for a second um i want to ask you this as a black voter and a member who's of the black voting community i'm going to play this clip for you and then you just go off on this play the clip donald trump doubled his black turnout in 2024 black support is going to stay republican with trump not on the ballot the party's going to need a little lift so they called in nicky now is not the time to think that your voice will not be heard done girl all the all the way by no no don't nobody want to hear nothing from no nicky maggie minaj we don't want to hear that from nicky maggie minaj nicky is trying to get a green card nicky is trying to get a pardon for her brother or whoever it is that was accused of uh the things and i think is is he in still in prison or or was in prison or spent time and whatever so no and nobody in the black community is listening to her we're not going to get um political advice from uh the woman who has super bass now if you like her music that's one thing but stick with super bass in the music um get out of politics and i'm you know what i will say i will say uh i'm not into that wig with the big hump because you know she's doing her um best 1960s supreme or who is it um uh gosh she was a young lady who died uh my i thought i had to go to yeah she's doing her best amy winehouse right she got a better wig than the one when she and trump were all loved lovey-doveyed up and holding hands because that was a terrible wig you could see the glue at least that one it's got bangs and you can cover the glue nicky go sit down that's it and also talk she's not even american she's not even american so i'm so yeah i think maybe she doesn't want to get deported but i think trump and those they would deport her in a second i'd be careful if i was her going anywhere near the white house because she might get deported she's not even an american citizen let's talk about the way jesse waters just spoke to his predominantly white audience i think the average age of a fox viewer is 69 these people enjoy getting lied to they know they're getting lied to every night they sign up every day and say fox news lie to me pay more money lie to me and that he says trump did great with the black vote and the black vote's not going anywhere because nicki minaj endorsed him i mean just how belittling and patronizing and humanizing dehumanizing that is and how these are the these are the instances that incubate a much larger emboldened racist white community that they're viewing and they're viewing like that that all black people are a monolith that every black person likes nicki minaj and because nicki minaj said vote red that the black man is like nicki's in for trump so i mean it's just culturally that's just so fucked up the way he said that in my opinion it is it is fucked up because they think that well first of all it's tone deaf it's racially tone deaf second of all he's operating from inside of the conservative playbook he's using the conservative playbook that you can get any um you know any asshole or any warm body that has a platform i.e uh kid rock or whatever and that people are going to go along with it so um look nicki is no kid rock i don't want to insult kid rock um but nobody's going to pay attention to her and you're right it's it's to be speaking like that he thinks like african americans are just going to do it because oh she's a rapper of course black people like rapping and she's black and that no we don't we don't play that way we know that all all kinfolks ain't all skin folks ain't kinfolk and not there and everybody doesn't speak for you black people in general vote um for the right thing which is democracy and they just happen to be on the left now right so black folks are voting for the democrats mainly because democrats stand for democracy now black women and black men although there are a few outliers out there who we don't claim they are no we don't we don't know them who can hit the bricks yeah we're talking about you clarence thomas yeah so we will take um you know let's see who do we want from the the black contingency uh would like to to trade nicki minaj for uh dolly parton yeah we'll take dolly parton in in memoriam and you can have nicki minaj we will take uh who which i'll take kelly clarkson you can have nicki minaj so no we don't want nicki minaj and we don't want the folks who are like nicki minaj we don't want nicki maga minaj or any other maga black people i can't understand how i do not understand how any for any black person is maga i just don't get it sorry it's crazy doesn't compute yeah it's crazy stuff okay um let's do a little check-in with our little smoky-eyed sociopath failed drag queen vice president of the united states jd vance he is out on the campaign trail and in my opinion when trump goes out when vance goes out when little moses mike goes out they're really stumping for the democrats but let's take a gander on what the failed drag queen has to say going after universities and corporations that reject applicants because they were born with the wrong skin color we're hiring on merit for a change i love how they talk about a meritocracy and then like pete hagg-seth is the secretary of defense or he's the vice president when his biggest his biggest job is he was purchased by peter teal jd vance not only is he a failed drag queen he is america's top prostitute and that is a really tough competition considering who the first lady is and so i mean the first lady's own very best friend amanda ingaro says that she was a hooker i don't know if that's true or not it's just on elon musk's free speech website but this jd vance is it's really interesting to me he has an indian wife he has mixed race kids and he and their inability to stand up for their kids and try to make america a better place for their mixed raced kids it's wild to me it is wild work i'm a mother i have two kids i couldn't actively vote or take part in policies that would make the world a less safe place for them and that's the difference between the two i'm a mother i have two kids i couldn't actively vote or take part in policies that would make the world a less safe place for them and that's the difference between the two between maga and all of us we want to make this the world better for everybody he's willing to ruin the world for his kids to own the libs well let me just tell you um uh you said the right thing and that should be end of story he's talking about meritocracy and here he is the vice president of the united states only in this maga phase or timeline that we're on right now is that even possible because he's not qualified and the person who is not qualified to be president wanted him to be the vice president so that should say something and neither is pete hexeth they're just not qualified and that is it's objective compare their resumes to anyone who has ever held that office and some of the people who have run in recent history i.e i.e hillary clinton and kamala harris they just don't have it and look i could go on and on and on but i will say this about jd vance jd vance probably does not believe anything that's coming out of his mouth he's saying it because he's a consultant driven person he's an empty suit where you can just uh you can get a consultant they say say this give him some media training say this say this say this he doesn't believe anything his name is not jd right remember he's changed how many times has he changed his name three times he's changed his religion right recently yeah and and he's changed how he feels about trump he was hillbilly elegy oh my gosh uh i believe in these principles and america and and helping people and all of the things my mom who has addiction issues and all these we should be helping people social safety net and now he's maga and he's taking away all those services and and he's going against um whatever his whatever he said his convictions were back in the day when he was someone else jd vance has no no convictions no morals he doesn't believe in anything in my opinion what he believes in is himself and his uh professional goals and he does things for political expedience and professional expedience and that's it if that means selling out his wife selling out his children uh i then that's what it means when by saying immigrants are dirty make america dirtier and he has a wife who's who is comes from an immigrant family that that should that should say work that says it all it says it all here's another clip of him on the campaign trail continuing to use projection play the clip as he's for it but on each and every issue david jolly has contorted himself like a pretzel to pander to the crazies okay okay i've heard enough is he talking about himself every action did that not say that trump is america's hitler and now he's all like he's one of the highest iq people i've ever met in my entire life is he for real right now is he putting on a master class in projection for future psychiatrists to show their classes at universities Seriously, is this bitch for real? Is he for real? He wrote it all down in the book. Yeah, it's for real. Again, no convictions. He said, oh my gosh, would you want to be the second to the right-hand person to the person you called Hitler if you thought they were Hitler? What does that say about you? You know, what does that say about you? And what does that say that you can change? Two things. One, if you thought he was Hitler and you're still working with him, that's problematic. If you thought he was Hitler and now you don't, what does that say about your judgment before now? It says that you don't have a good judgment and you don't believe in anything. Yeah, it's projection. When he said, oh, he will contort himself into a pretzel for the crazies. J.D. Vance, you're talking about yourself. You have contorted yourself into a pretzel for die. Donald Trump, Mooney, the Laura Looney loomers of the world, and everyone, all of the crazy MAGA conspiracy theories, theorists. That's what he's doing right now. He's talking about himself. There's no question. And so he's in Florida and there is a gal running for Senate in Florida who I am completely obsessed with, and I'm sure you are too. Angie Nixon. Ms. Angie Nixon. She is a joy. She's an incredible candidate. She is incorruptible. She is unmatched. Ms. Angie Nixon. She is unflappable. She has incredible life experience, compassion, and everything. But we all know in this community, in this Welch's Lemonade community, that a lot of people are going to see this woman and all they're going to see is a black woman, and they're going to take a lot of cheap shots at her. And that means that we have to support her double, triple, quadruple, that we have to go hard in the paint for her even more than we would at James Tallarico even, because that's how rigged. The system is for black women across the board. This is a sitting vice president of the United States on the campaign trail that just said this about Angie Nixon. Play the clip. Now, it's a live fight. I hate to say it right here in the state of Florida. As reasonable and rational and freedom loving as this state is, you've got some real choice Democrats running in the state of Florida. Look no further than Angie Nixon, the self-described. It's almost too easy to make fun of her. The self-described socialist that the Democrats put up against Ashley Moody this fall. Now, one of the things I love about Florida is you have so many people who came to this state legally, of course, from Latin America, people who know that socialism kills, people who saw it in their friends and their family. Well, ladies and gentlemen, when Angie Nixon calls herself a socialist, I think the right response is to say, then get the hell out of here. You don't belong in America. I'm tired. I know. I know. And this really pisses me off. This notion that Republicans have, if you don't the way we think, you get the hell out of America. And it's on steroids when you get to black candidates or black politicians. And also, what an embarrassment that he doesn't understand the difference as the vice president between democratic socialist of America and a socialist. What are your feelings about Angie Nixon and this type of candidate running? Because I think we are so lucky to have somebody brave enough to run the campaign she's trying to run. Very well said. I didn't know, as I'm sure you, I didn't know much about her. I'd never really heard about her. I'm not in Florida, so I'm not tuned into Florida politics, but I've had her on my show several times. And from what she says to me, how she conducts herself, how I see her conducting herself in the media, and what she says are her policies, I don't see anything that sounds like the socialist in the socialist sense of the word. Democratic socialist is not the same as a socialist in a socialist country. It's completely different. They don't want you to know that because they can use that word as a pejorative. But a democratic socialist is not the same thing. By the way, there is a large part of our democracy of our republic that is based on socialism. If you look at the broadcast airwaves in this country, that's socialist because we all have access to them. If you look at roads and bridges and schools and infrastructure and other things, those are socialist aspects of democracy. And that's what makes up our society and our culture. And no one complains about them. And no one complains about that. So I think people need to understand what the definition of democratic socialist is and the definition of real socialism is. But I'm just tired. I get tired of people like J.D. Vance. Again, someone who is unqualified, did not get there on meritocracy, and he's talking about a woman who works her ass off and is fighting for equity and equality. And for everyone to have health care, that's not a progressive or a liberal value. That's a human value. And he's just demeaning and being negative about her because, again, he will do anything out of political expedience. It works in that crowd. He's going to do it. It's awful. It's terrible. All right. Well, it's going to get worse from here. Oh, Lord. I'm going to drag out Pete Hegseth. Oh, God. He's been running around the Pentagon just saying the craziest shit. The disrespect he has been showing to Donald Trump is just off the charts. And I want to remind you before I play this clip, Donald Trump is the commander in chief of the military. All right. He is at the top. And then his top deputy right under Donald Trump is Pete Hexess, has the audacity to go out and say this. Play the clip. But it's worth saying again so that the fake news understands it. We are no longer the woke department or the weak department. Simple translation of that. No fatties, no trannies, no beardos, no weirdos, no wimps, no radicals. Just warriors. All right. The disrespect in that Donald Trump is a fatty. One could argue Donald Trump is a wimp. So did he just exclude the commander in chief of the military on national television? Is that what I'm? I'm hearing from him because Donald Trump is objectively a fat ass. And we all know he's a wimp. All you do is go over to lie social and you'll see just a barrage of just the titty baby crying, feelings hurt victim. I'm surprised that Donald Trump is putting up with this. Well, and Pete Hexess is a wimp. So he based on his qualifications, he can't even be in the military. He shouldn't even be in the military. And guess what? You said no fatties and you said no beardos. Well, that would exclude J.D. Vance, who we just talked about. J.D. Vance is a beardo and he's fat. Yeah. And a weirdo. That excludes Kash Patel. All of them. So he's excluding people who are in the MAGA regime, who are in the MAGA. You want to call it administration? I call it a regime. This is. I get it gets me worked up talking about these people and everyone thinks like, oh, my God, this is so partisan. And you have Trump derangement syndrome. No, this is just the truth. And we've been trying to scream it. And finally, people. Are starting to realize some MAGA folks will see where they vote, that these people give don't give a shit about them. They don't care about democracy. They don't care about the truth. They don't care about the First Amendment. They cared about democracy in the Constitution. Then they wouldn't be kicking journalists out of the White House or off of off of planes or taking their credentials. This is an authoritarian fascist regime. And they only care about themselves and power, political power and Donald Trump. And they only care about money and the people who are supporting him, the wealthy people in America who are supporting this, they're in it for the money for the tax cuts, they're making money hand over fist and the poor people who are being co-opted don't have health care, many of them, or most of them, don't have affordable health care. They're not making a living wage. They're not getting all of these enormous tax breaks that the millionaires and billionaires are getting. They're simply being co-opted. And now they're paying higher gas prices. Today, as we are taping this, Jen, mortgage rates are at their highest that they've been in forever. It's like seven, almost eight percent. So what did you vote for? And then you didn't realize that. Like, what does that say about your character and your judgment? Because the people who are actually to blame for this, don't get me wrong, it's the MAGA Republican Party. It's the folks who are, you know, who are the cult leaders who are out here co-opting people and scamming them. They're the marks. But you are the marks. It is your fault. You voted for this. So here you are. Here it is in all its glory. You get what you vote for. You probably saw that Donald Trump in his big circle jerk meeting with all of the corrupt tech oligarchs rolled out AI on the government website. I don't need that image of them in my head with all those people. I'm sorry. Go on. I know. Citizens immediately started asking the AI robot on the government website who won the 2020 election. And they're like, Joe Biden. And then they are. asking like, does the big beautiful bill transfer wealth from the poorest Americans to the richest Americans? And the government AI is like, yes, it does. And so I reported on it that morning and I told my audience, this AI bot will be getting a lobotomy. It will be getting a lobotomy since sure enough, they do a lobotomy on the AI. And now it's like, I'm not allowed to answer those questions. Well, Trump was asked about the AI this week and here's what he had to say about it. Play the clip. It's just another thing. Sir, there's no question. This will be the biggest thing you've ever, if it is the biggest thing I've ever done, I've done a shitty job as president. Death, bad confession era. It's coming out. The truth is often spoken in Jess. So, so they, and Jess, I, that's, he's speaking the truth, but he always says a quiet part out loud. He does. Yeah. That's all I have to say. And he's right. He's been done a terrible job as president. Right. In the story period. And so let's talk about these tech oligarchs for a second. I personally am so angry with them because my understanding of these autocratic states and these strongmen, which we have a very incompetent one that wears a full face of makeup, but we'll just leave that aside. They are able to do the things that they're doing with impunity because they're propped up by the elites and Trump 1.0, the guardrails really held strongly because industry Titans were a part of the resistance and Trump 2.0, the elites have gone and propped him up and they are actively propping him up. And I want to start highlighting the fact that right now, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Tim Cook, Sam Altman, all of these people are a hundred percent fine with the 52 or 56. I can't remember the number of people that have died in the United States. They're a hundred percent fine with the people that ICE has shot with no investigations whatsoever. And then called them fucking bitches or terrorists, et cetera. They are fine with alligator Alcatraz. They are fine with the Supreme court saying, sure, deport somebody from Mexico to Senegal and Africa. That doesn't seem cruel or unusual. The depravity for coming from Trump. I get it. We've been watching it for 10, 12 years. It's the same fucking day, over and over with that schmuck. He wakes up, he's an asshole, orange makeup, taxpayer funded nap, rents repeat. These oligarchs that make so much money off of Americans, us buying their products, and then the taxpayer funded subsidies that they get, the taxpayer Luke polls that they don't have to pay, propping up all of this moral depravity. I'm just going to tell you, if the Democrats get back in power and they start making deals with the tech industry and not hauling money, I'm going to tell you, I'm going to tell you, I'm going to tell you, I'm going to tell you, I'm going to tell you, I'm going to tell you, I'm going to tell you, hauling their asses in front and launching investigations into them. I'm going to be so fucking pissed. Yeah. Well, they've already said that they're not going after impeachment. You saw that, right? Because they said it's not, yeah, that there's no appetite for it. And it's never going to work. It's not the first that has to go through the house. It is fat could pass the house. And then after that, it just gets past the Senate and there's no, um, you know, there's no appetite the vote. They don't have a type from who, from, from, from them. Well, they believe in Hakeem. And the frogs in their pocket. Cause everybody I've talked to wants to see this motherfucker impeached. Did you see that Chuck Schumer says he's running for leadership again? Oh, for fuck's sake. Please tell me that's not true. No, it's true. He says I'm running. He's ready to win. He says he's running to be a leader again. Yeah. Um, I think he says there's no appetite amongst the Senate. Maybe they're speaking about Republicans as well, because I think I'm pretty sure it's a two thirds vote that you'd have to get. And it's not going to happen, but I mean, it sucks, but I'd like to see some of that, some of that energy. I'd like to see some of that mean girl energy on the democratic side. Yeah, me too. Okay. Here's a video of a MAGA candidate in Colorado, laughing about beating his wife, play the clip full time. And it was funny because, uh, she goes, I can handle myself. I said, you can. And I remember grabbing her and slamming her into our front door. I mean, pretty, it was a decent push. It'd be a bouncer push, right? You got to move. Microdosing domestic assault on your wife. This man's name is Victor Marks, and he is running as the Republican candidate. Just when I think like, okay, there is, this is the bottom. We can't go any lower. What I think fascinates me about MAGA is how it's brought out nature of the Republican party during George W. Bush. All of this depravity was there. They just hid behind we're, we're compassionate conservatives. Meanwhile, they're homophobes and racist and all these things. Now that mask is off. And now they're just casually on podcast talking about, you know, slamming my wife up against the door. And the other guy's like, yeah, just a microdose. Yeah, you said it. Um, and you know, I spoke about this on my show earlier this week. It's about what's become normalized under, this regime. It's about what Donald Trump has normalized. He's normalized the most unsocial, undemocratic, anti-diversity. He's unleashed that into our society where people think they can say and do anything. Not only so, he feels okay because Donald Trump has become the imprimatur for just madness. He's unleashed the racists. He's unleashed the misogynists. He's unleashed the homophobes. For the people who said, I want to be able to say the R word. So he's unleashed those kinds of people and they think it's okay. He didn't think twice about talking about slamming his wife or girlfriend or woman into a wall. And he has no. No idea that, hey, that's problematic. He doesn't know. Just as people, I don't know if you get it when you go out, but occasionally people think that they can say anything to me. And as is what happened to, I don't know if you saw what happened with Spike Lee when he was at the Yankees game. And some guy said, wanted to take a selfie and then said, hey, say F Palestine, right? And he's like, why would you come over to me and ask me to say some shit like that, right? So this is just a symptom of. A society that was where this sort of thing was buried. It had to be there for people to act on it. But Donald Trump has made it okay. And he probably will suffer no consequences for saying something like that. It's, you know, that's where we are. That's terrible. All right. Last story. Go vote. No shit. Last story. There's more evidence that Riley Gaines is just a world-class loser. Pop this up. Riley Gaines, famous fraternity. starting her fifth place tie with transgender swimmer Leah Thomas into a far-right career against transgender people, has officially had her lawsuit against the NCAA thrown out by a judge. The judge found no evidence for her claims. Imagine suing somebody because you fucking tied for fifth place. If the trans swimmer hadn't swam, you're still. Fucking fifth place. Fourth. Fifth. She thinks she's going to be fourth, right? If Riley Gaines wasn't there, right? So she would be. No, they tied for fifth. Oh, they tied. Oh. First, second, third, fourth place. And then they tied for fifth place. She'd still be fifth. That bitch is still fifth place swimmer. It changes nothing. It fucking changes nothing. It's kind of like the same thing with MAGA right now. Oh, Donald Trump bullied trans people. Guess what? Your fucking gas is still expensive. Donald Trump. He bullied black people. Guess what? Dipshit. Inflation's still everywhere. He's firing all. You know, fucking up the economy. That bitch, Riley Gaines, would be nothing, nothing without the LGBTQ plus community. She would not have this career on Fox. She fucking tied for fifth place. And these people want to lecture us about a meritocracy. Where I live, where I grew up, if you got fifth place, you're a fucking loser. You don't even get a participation. You don't even get a participation trophy. Look, and the fact that a judge threw it out, I mean, that stings. That has to sting because MAGA always thinks that they're right, even when the facts are not on their side, they will push for it as they always do. And so now that this judge has done this, what they're going to say, I'm sure they are already saying it. It's an activist judge. How about it's a judge that's going by the law and the rules? But here's the sad thing, though. What's happening to the judges around the country, they're having to get security, they're being threatened, they're being forced to rule certain ways or sort of, you know, counter what they're doing. I don't know if that's the best word, but just to not diminish, but so maybe they would rule one way and they don't, or they hold off on ruling because they just don't want to deal with it. And they delay and delay and delay. Or. They rule the way that they want, that's what that's what my sources are telling me, but from what has been out in the press these judges are having to get security they are nervous and they said in large part there was a judge who um who came out publicly recently and said they're doing this in large part this is due in large part to what donald trump uh the rhetoric that the trump administration is putting out in the atmosphere that people are attacking judges and they're nervous the word is dilute dilute is what what i'm saying and if they they may have had a stronger opinion when they rule on something but they diluted to appease the maga folks we're being held hostage by the most immature petulant bottom feeding dipshits but here's what's fascinating for me and dumb let's just say dumb here's what's fascinating to me about the whole judge thing the supreme court justices have fallen prey to a lot of this and they're out there actively like dismantling their whole profession and dismantling the rule of law it it's a kind of like jd vance and usha vance won't stand up for their mixed-race kids the the the there's such a self-harm infliction in maga they go out and vote against their economic interests they go out and vote against their own rights they go out and vote to favor billionaires and and favor it it's it's crazy there's like a self-harm infliction that permeates through the entire movement which is really an interesting psychological offshoot of it where people say it's kind of like watching fox news like everybody knows fox billion dollars yeah it's wild right it's masochism and some people like to be tortured some people like pain um i think fear uh and and what you're talking about the sentiment that you're talking about think it can be very motivating and if you have um nothing else going on in your life you're like that's the only thing that you know gives you some right that gives you some passion you have a feeling that you're alive because you're you know you're aggrieved and remember if you were sitting around for the most of the folks who are watching fox news older people whatever maybe they haven't been able in their lives and younger folks maybe they haven't been able in their lives to achieve certain things where they think that it is their birthright to be able to achieve certain things have certain jobs a man is ahead of the household now you have women who are making more money and they are leading wait it shouldn't be that way right and then someone comes along and says oh you should be the head of the house well whatever military and you it makes you feel alive and it makes you feel like oh this this american thing that is supposed to be for me and people like me and so then you start looking at your fellow americans as others as people who are taking things away from you the blacks are taking things away from you the immigrants are taking things away from you these are things that should belong to you the gays the lesbians the transgender people as we you know talked about with riley gaines they're taking things away from you when really you are at fifth place because you are a loser maybe you're not that great of us and maybe you're not that great of a swimmer maga maybe you suck at swimming riley maybe you suck at swimming considering that you tied for fifth yeah and let's say that you get a you get your wish there are no trans people in sports you're still a fifth place loser and that is the mega story you're still a loser you're you're still a loser riley i mean okay

Summary:

The transcript combines two distinct narratives: one promotional, centered on AMN Healthcare as a comprehensive, AI-powered workforce solutions provider offering real-time visibility, multilingual support, and integrated services across clinical and non-clinical roles; and another satirical political commentary titled "The Weekend Read," hosted by Don Lemon and Jennifer Welch. The political segment critically examines MAGA-aligned figures and media, revealing pervasive homophobia, racism, misogyny, and anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric. D.

Vance, and Pete Hegseth for promoting offensive and dehumanizing views on gender, race, and democracy. The commentary argues that MAGA ideology normalizes harmful behaviors — such as domestic abuse and discriminatory speech — and that these actions are politically expedient, not principled. It highlights how such rhetoric undermines democratic values, distorts public discourse, and fuels systemic inequality.

The segment concludes by urging civic engagement, media accountability, and a rejection of self-serving political narratives, emphasizing that voters must take responsibility for the outcomes of their choices. While the AMN Healthcare section promotes workforce efficiency and inclusion, the political critique serves as a sharp exposé of the toxic elements within certain political movements, framing them as fundamentally at odds with progressive values and democratic integrity.
