it's not the rudeness of don lemon.od advice, if you're unvaccinated, stay home. >> greg: i just wonder when cnn will stop pretending to be news, there anchors are more opinionated than boston cab drivers, every hour is about how bad you are. when i'm listening to them, i'm trying to figure out who he's talking to because whoever he's talking to, i don't know these people. what he's doing is creating a straw man and then creates this idea, you're either this or you're this, he's not actually interested persuasion at all, he's indulging in the dopamine rash he gets from shaming people. he's like a human walking tweets. i do think also, he's doing this for the attention because his ratings are tanking and why are they tanking? might be some new competition at 11:00. >> dagen: starts with a g! >> greg: that's what that says, all they do now, they are so irrelevant that all they can do is shame people. >> geraldo: is it good advice if you are unvaccinated not to travel? >> will: the answer is the unvaccinated should balance

are, don lemon. >> who me?y "jeopardy"? before they could get the request out was no, i do not want to be -- >> you are a multiple winner of the cnn quiz show. you are a two-time winner of the cnn quiz show. >> "jeopardy" is now searching for an executive producer. >> i would love to do that job. i would love to host "jeopardy," but that is a very of it job. no one can fill alex trebek's shoes. someone will come along and do the show, but alex trebek was tremendous. speaking of the game show network, did you ever see the old game shows that alex trebek did before "jeopardy" with the crazy sweaters? >> it's amazing. >> it's amazing. it's different -- >> the '70s, it's a shame we're not back in the '70s. don lemon, thank you very much. >> thank you. good to see both of you. >> you can watch don lemon at 10:00 tonight. >> possibly in a sweater. >> and every night wearing a 1970s sweater. >> and i feel like i should be serving ice cream with this. >> you look good. >> candy man. >>> help wanted, vaccination require

don lemon. >> greg: of course.e was not hysterical when there was looting or arson or anything. i went out to dinner. i had a great dinner in new york. i was recognized. the same mentality, jimmy. do you buy it? >> no. it drives me crazy. to your point, he spent four years howling about fake scandals. yelled about russia for four years, this is a real scannedle. we still have americans stuff in afghanistan. we have a reuter's transcript where the president is encouraging the afghan president to shoot a propaganda video to prop up the taliban knowing it's falling in real time. a more honorable america, his own party would drag him out. that being said, i like he's going on vacation. the further from the oval office the better at this point. i hate when they show the bike riding videos. you can see the three people coming with him to make sure he finds the way back. that's not the image of strength that i want us projecting to the world. >> so don lemon is not going to make the honor roll. no question about that. i w

todd: i to know doctor don lemon was a thing.t the point he got his medical degree but to pull back a little bit, a more general question. i thought cnn told us we are all in this together. >> supposed to be the fact first network. what kills me is in prime time you have anderson cooper and chris cuomo and don lemon for two hours, not even one and have the title of anchor. they are opinion hosts, their advocates, they are activists and nothing more so when you watch this network you know tucker carlson and sean hannity and laura ingraham are opinion hosts, they have to stop pretending these are objective journalists, all they do is lecture people every night. it is quite comical. jillian: there's a lot of backlash, this headline, 100 most influential people of 2021 and look at this headline, president xi loves his country and his people dearly. and if you look at what it says below that trump surpass nixon as a minister the constitution, trump's only world his ruthlessness. what a difference. >> we've seen this movie before. we h

don lemon is turning this into a race thing. no, chris and i talk about the real stuff that people do. people are talking to me about this as it relates to race. they've spoken to chris about it. you see it online. don't pretend i'm turning this into something it's not. this is what people are talking about and this is what chris and i are talking about and that's why we get it straight and it's real here and you're going to hear the real deal from these two guys. that's why they call it the handoff because there is nothing better on television or a podcast. there you go. i love you. >> if you say so yourself. i love you d. lemon. make your witness. >> i am right now. we'll talk about this and more including the breaking news chris gave us. this is "don lemon tonight." president biden ahead of his first speech since taking office. the president that ran on bipartisanship now faces what you'd have to call open war fair between members of his own party. and it threatens to derail his agenda. so-called moderates and progressives ba

this is "don lemon tonight." biden here in new york city ahead of his first speech at the u.n. general assembly since taking office. the president, who ran on bipartisanship, his ability to get both sides to the table, now faces what you'd have to call open warfare between members of his own party. and it threatens to derail his agenda. so-called moderates and progressives battling over his signature infrastructure bill and alexandria ocasio-cortez saying tonight she is a no on the bipartisan bill that already passed the senate if the larger democratic-only bill hasn't passed by next week. joe manchin today digging in his heels, calling on democrats to slow their roll on a bill that he thinks has too high a pricetag. >> september 27th is coming up next week. is it possible this bill could pass by then? >> i said this before. i think you know what i feel on that. the bottom line is whatever you want to do get it right. and if there's not enough clarity then you need to get clarity. >> but you want it delayed to ne

what do you say. >> i i could care less what don lemon says.o classes of people, those who are vaccinated, those who are not. it us an attempt to control people. look this is a decision, an individual has to make in consultation with their physician, with their health care professional. with their family. it shouldn't be a decision that the government forces upon you. our civil liberties are at risk here. we need to keep that in mind. look, i'm a strong advocate for the vaccine as you well know. i think it is safe and effective. i hope all those will get it but at the same time not mandate. elizabeth: that is what dr. fauci, nancy pelosi, president biden said they were opposed vaccine mandates a month ago. a year ago. this is people court fight, thank you, buddy carter. up next house foreign affairs member claudia tenney. state media saying chinese warships could soon show up near hawaii. four of them were near alaska recently. president biden somehow manages to insult france in a new security pact with the australia and the uk to combat china'

the big star of the handoff himself, don lemon of "don lemon tonight". >> you've got that right. it's so much fun doing -- look, if you think we go a little bit overboard or we push the boundaries during this television handoff, then you actually need to listen to the podcast. i actually had someone say this is the best one that -- it was very courageous, very brave of how far we went with talking about personal issues, things that we're dealing with, and you know, so don't want to give it away, but check it out. >> thankful for my long haul syndrome, i don't even remember the handoff. >> i don't even remember what i said. >> honestly, though, this is honesty. when you meet -- especially when we were in our big studios, the number of people that we would meet on a daily basis -- and aye been doing two hours for, what, five, six, seven years, i forget how long. two hours a night, and i don't mean to be rude. people would say hey, do you remember i was on your show and i would go, oh, yeah, i remember. and then they'd have to remind me, prompt me, oh, now i remember. i was intervie

i love you don lemon in case i don't see you soon. >>> this is don lemon tonight. president joe biden is trying to focus on one crisis after another, from the devastating hurricane ida to the raging covid pandemic. there are questions that remain on afghanistan that chris and i were just talking about, trying to hash it out right now, make sense of it. it's tough. the state department saying of the 124,000 evacuees from afghanistan, more than 23,000 are at risk afghans including special immigrant visa applications, but a senior state department official saying that the majority of afghans who worked for the united states and applied for visas were likely left behind. and the chairman of the joint chiefs says he feels pain and anger over afghanistan. >> last night i visited the wounded up in walter reed. this is tough stuff. war is hard. it's vicious. it's brutal. it's unforgiving, and yes, we all have pain and anger, and when we see what has unfolded over the last 20 years and over the last 20 days, that creates pain and anger, and mine comes from 242 of my soldier

seen and's don lemon taking his insults to a whole new level. >> i think we have to stop calling people comes to this and that vaccine. you can't shame them. you can't call them stupid. yes, they are. the people who ate and abetted trump are stupid because they believed his big lie. the people who are not getting vaccines, who are believing the lies on the internet instead of science, and -- or leave them behind. because they are keeping the majority of americans behind. >> leave them behind where? republican voters who are not vaccinated or not the only ones who are -- that is what is so frustrating. >> i think it is frustrating because don lemon is extremely stupid. right? and he thinks that by calling other people stupid, what he have the balls to 24% of black stupid? you think the everybody is this red hat wearing group of people who live in the sticks. when the fact there is a whole bunch of categories of people who are not vaccinated. one of them are people that are young and very sick -- i know a few of those people but you have women who are either pregnant or want to get pregna

listen to fake news cnn's don lemon. he's out of his mind.i think you have to give them some credit for what, number one, getting out, and, number two, getting as many people out as possible. and we do have to remember there were people who went theren a were told they needed to leave and they didn't leave. and so i think that sometimes -- i think the administration is getting beaten up on this a little bit too much because there's a lot of blame to go around. >> sean: just deny all truth and all reality. republican senate candidate in pennsylvania sean parnell along with medal of honor recipient fox news contributor dakota meyer. sean i'll start with you. your reaction to that? they even admit they left americans behind. oh, we should be happy we left americans behind? that's not the america that i know. >> well, exactly. i would just say, hey, cnn, you know who the real victim is in all of this? you know, it's joe biden. it's not the 13 marines or servicemen and women who died, it's not our thousands of allies who were left behind, it's rea

i'm don lemon. this isontinuing coverage of the california recall election. this is our breaking news right now. cnn is projecting that democratic governor gavin newsom will handily defeat the recall and he's going to remain in office. so speaking just moments ago, newsom saying that he is humbled and he is grateful but also saying there's more that unites voters than divides them and thanking voters for turning that recall back. so that is our breaking news right now. let's get the big picture now. we want to go over to the magic wall. cnn's phil mattingly here. phil, good evening to you. so we're over at the magic wall. is it magic or -- there it is. it magically appears. >> did you plan that? >> i did. it needed me to be over here. >> this is what it looks like? >> this is what it looks like. you've seen the blue fill in. you've seen the red fill in. we've been through this drill many times. here's where things stand right now. we've obviously called this race. the no vote right now at 2.77 million more

judge jeanine: don lemon shaming the unvaccinated and leaving them behind. that's one approach.xt guest has a different approach. he's taking on the biden vaccine mandate through the legal system. attorney general from arizona, mark brnovich is joining me now. i understand you brought a lawsuit and you are trying to stop what biden is doing. tell me what constitutional grounds you are arguing. >> thank you, judge for having me on. it's as simple as this. you know the constitution is the supreme law of the land. nowhere in the constitution does any person have the authority or ability to have you or anyone else inject anything into your body. if we allow the president to get away with this, that means there is nothing any future president including this president couldn't make us do. this is not only unconstitutional, i think it's immoral. you have to understand that what he is doing is a radical attempt to consolidate power in one person. something that not even king george or uncle joe stalin would have dreamed of doing. judge jeanine: the government has certain powers when the

cnn anchor don lemon dives in with a synchronized swim team that keeps kids water safety and puts a spinageing gracefully. >> you're going to help me people them, right? coach inspires me to get back in touch with what i love. which is swimming and teaching people how to swim. the water is my happy place. if i don't have it, i would probably not be very healthy mentally and emotionally. tell me about harlem honeys and bears. >> it's a synchronized swim team. >> for seniors. >> for seniors. in 1975, there were only women on the team. and they said they could call themselves honeyses and after a few years, the men decided they wanted to join the team and they decided they wanted to be the bears. so now we have honey and bears. we do synchronized swimming and competitive swimming. some are on walkers and some are canes. but what they enjoy most, is once they get in the water, they feel free. i have been coach since 1975. it's a little better than 25 years. my oldest swimmer now is 99 years old. >> wow. >> believe it or not, i have been swimming since '64. he is the best coach in the world.

this is "don lemon tonight" it's all on the line this week. it really is. this is the agenda joe biden ran on the agenda that got him to the white house. and it is hanging in the balance tonight. okay? the president says victory is what is at stake and the white house is working feverishly to win the victory negotiating the price tag for the spending bill. tonight, biden's former boss weighing in arguing that the wealthiest america capsns can't afford to pick up the tab for the $3.5 trillion spending bill. >> most importantly, it's paid for asking the wealthiest of americans who have benefitted incredibly over the last several decades and even in the midst of a pandemic saw their wealth and assets rise enormously asking them to pay a few poersercentag points more in taxes to make sure we have an economy that's fair for everyone. i think they can afford it. we can afford it. i put myself in this category now. and i think anybody who pretends that it's a hardship for billionaires to pay a little more in taxes so that a single mom gets child care support or so

"don lemon tonight" starts with the big star d. lemon now. d is familiar with this idea. what do you want to own? do you want to own the vaccine was bad? i don't think so. not long term. it is sketchy, which is why trump doesn't talk about the vaccine the way he could. he could say i brought it to you. take it, take it. he doesn't because he got booed and alabama and he knows there are too many in the base he doesn't want to upset. do they want to own removing roe v wade and telling women from 8 to 80 you don't get to decide on your body. let's say from 18 to 80 because voting age. you don't get to determine freedom of choice, not for you, ladies. >> do you want to own this end runaround and what should be constitutionally correct if possible if democrats one day want to do a similar law for taking guns? if they say we can do this with guns? the supreme court won't be able to challenge this and go around and get your guns. it's a hypothetical. that's what conservatives should really be concerned about is what does this set for a precedent for? are you setting a precedent

see you soon. >>> this is "don lemon tonight." we have breaking news on the investigation of the violent attack on the capitol and that's january 6th i'm talking about. the select committee promised a steady drum beat of subpoenas that and they dropped nearly a dozen tonight targeting people involved in the planning and organization of the so-called stop the steal rally right before the riot at the capitol. so 11 people affiliated with the organization that held the permit for the rally, women for america first subpoenaed tonight. the committee looking at what coordination the group might have had with the white house. >> well, i think donald trump would certainly invite us to believe it was a spontaneous eruption of hugs and kisses towards the officers. that's pretty divorced from reality. there was obviously a lot of coordination and planning that took place and we are going to reconstruct it. >> a lot more to come on this tonight. and we've got breaking news on capitol hill to tell you about. we're hours away from a promised vo

>>> thank you for watching don lemon tonight with the big star d lemon right now. >> how are you doing? >> i'm confused, man! >> about what? >> i'm confused about what is happening with this missing 22-year-old, beautiful kid, going around the country. i'm confused by this south carolina situation with this family. and i'm confused how the senators believe they can get righteous about milley for deciding to do something about an obvious risk that they ign ignored, that he worked with the secretary of defense. they want to say he went rogue. you want to misrepresent what did he when he did the right thing and you did nothing? and you think you'll be the righteous agent? >> well, two things, i hope the families of the young people, i hope they figure out what happened to everyone. i hope there's a resolution to all of it. you can't bring people back. moving on to the political part, there have been so many people who have been an apologist for this president. pretty much the entire campaign, once he became the nominee and then became the president, that it was time to really call people

. >> that's don lemon. he is the co-star of the hand-off. >> no, your mom's a star. >> she didn't care. >> this is cameos. >> no respect for what we do. >> my mom has been on my other podcast silence is not an option and she takes over. and when she's on the podcast everybody loves her. oh, my gosh, don. i think your mom and my mom should do a podcast. forget about us. they're way more interesting than we are. chris, your mom -- chris' mom turned 90, by the way. she looks fantastic. she looks younger than you. oh, she turned 60, i'm sorry. >> 60. the 90 upside down. here's the funny part. my mother wasn't supposed to be on the podcast. she heard me talking about her and came down to where i was because she wanted to make sure if i was going to be talking about her i would push her program, and she came down with a business card and gave it to me and said read this. anyway, it's one of those nice surprises. >> honestly, we talk about the times, what's happening now, not being able to see family especially du

i'm late getting to "don lemon tonight." the big star d-lemon with apologies. >> evidence that the system needs to be reformed so that people, the border agents aren't put in that position so that people coming into this country aren't put in that position, that there is a humane way to enter the country without people having to possibly come in to contact with people on horses and so on and so forth. that is the -- that's the definition of systemic, whatever it is. systemic racism, systemic whatever. it's built into the system. the system is created or set up in a way that it isn't fair to anyone, really. >> i agree. now, look. we have a this and that. this is you use any part of your horse or your tack the wrong way to abuse somebody, you're going to be held to account. they'll do that investigation. that is i'm telling you, don, i believe that politicians on both sides do not want to fix this situation. it works too well for them broken. the right gets to demonize what i characterize as the brown menace. look at these peo

i will see you. >> i will see you. >>> this is "don lemon tonight." you know, it's ironic, isn't it? we were just talking about this, right, what's going on. the politicization of everything. but this is ironic. that anti-vaxers and anti-maskers today they are using freedom as a political rallying cry. claiming it's anti-american and anti-freedom to require someone to get a free, safe vaccine that will save their lives and those of their countrymen and women. well, maybe they just mean their own freedom, right? just their own freedom. that's called selfishness. freedom to spread a deadly disease? freedom to land in overtaxed hospitals? freedom to take a hospital bed from a cancer patient or an accident victim? they don't seem to care about freedom for the rest of us. freedom from the pandemic that has overshadowed everything that we have done and been unable to do for more than a year and a half. what ever happened to that summer of freedom that we thought, we hoped, we might have once -- we might have had once the miracle vaccines rolled out? it disa

"don lemon tonight" starts with its big star, d lemon, right now. d is very familiar with this idea. you know, what do you want to own? do you want to own that the vaccine was bad? i don't think so. not long term. it is sketchy which is why trump doesn't own the vaccine, the way he could. he could say, hey, i brought it to you. everybody, look how good everything is because of the vaccine. take it, take it. he doesn't because he got booed in alabama and he knows there are too many in the base he doesn't want to upset. do they want to own removing roe v. wade and telling women from 8 to 80 you don't get to decide on your body? let's say, from 18 to 80 because voting age. >> yeah. >> you don't get to determine -- we're talking about freedom and freedom of choice when it comes to the vaccine, but not for you, ladies. >> yeah. well, and do you want to own this sort of end run around the legal system and what is -- should be constitutionally correct and possible. when -- if democrats, one day, want to do a similar law for taking guns. or people who are a
