bottle of ambien to just take a nap. how about this, care more. mr. president, you may sleep but the rest of this country may rest easier. cnn tonight with d. lemon starts right now. you make a pretty good point. you ever think of running for president, and i say no way in seriously no way in hell. people ask you about running for office? they absolutely do. they said i should run and i should make you my vp. what? nobody has ever said that to you ever. they said make chris lemon your vp. that keeps me up at night. that cabdriver turning around in detroit and saying you re chris lemon. you should never, ever have told me that. i m going to get a license plate with you with that on it.
think we ll hear? that s wishful thinking on his part. that s not going to happen. what i tried to say in my opening remarks to you, chris, i think there s plenty of anger and rhetoric, soaring rhetoric to go around here. the president s job is to go there tomorrow to reach out to the people who want to talk to him. if people in those places don t want to see the president, they want to protest, that s up to them. but the president will go there tomorrow, i think, to at least try to engage, talk to families, survivors, first responders, that s his job. let s see how presidential the president acts tomorrow. he deserves an opportunity to do that. we should expect nothing less. patrick, here s the problem, i totally agree with the idea of everybody doing their best. but you seem to be ignoring his outsized role in creating the negativity and toxicity in this dynamic. it wasn t democrats saying bad things about latinos and then him ramping it up, patrick.
i m fine with that because i m not left or right. i m about reasonable. i m saying that nothing is happening. i encourage this conversation. you want to bring up stuff on the floor, you want me to front run it i m there. you get cosponsors, you ll get even more time. i believe it s past time. our kids are growing up, sean, we re putting them in a world where there s a good chance that something bad will happen to them as something good. and that s crazy. i appreciate you having this conversation especially during a tough time. thank you, chris. have a good night. always. be well. this is going to happen. i believe you got to provoke these conversations. i just do. you got to bring people out of their silos. tough look at the facts. this left/right thing. i never thought i would see politicians saying which extremists belong to them. you also have to look at the antifa. put them all in one barrel of
about again, the politics of this is disgraceful. we got direct mail pieces going out and raising money for kamala harris, beto o rourke comparing the president to nazi germany. none of this is helping the situation chris. chris, may i? the politics part of this i hear you, patrick. is donald trump going to talk to the tomorrow is a chance. i m going to give you the final word. don t forget the other two points, he said, there is a gun control bill on there that s pretty reasonable and a lot a few are starting to bubble up and saying, we re not against this. the president has said he s for much of what s in that bill before and there s no reason not to treat these extremists as terrorists. three quick points. i m coming there, i m going to pass gun control. i m coming there and pass gun control. number two, i apologize for mainstreaming white supremacist talking points.
make a change because, let s be honest, it s been too long already. let s bring in d. lemon. they love you in el paso, d. lemon. one of the bright spots being here. other than love of community is the love that they have for you, which i take is an obvious manifestation of their being stressed. you want to tell everybody what the taxi driver called you the other day in detroit? chris lemon. he was also stressed. they are very much on edge here. i m using i m using comedy, some levity to lighten it up. they re very much on edge, but there is an opportunity in it, don. if the president comes here tomorrow and he acts like a president, people are going to be surprised, it will be a good thing. i agree. listen, you need to smile sometimes, but i can t imagine what the folks there are going through. as many times as we cover it, every experience is unique. every human being deserves dignity. everyone who died their lives were cut short or they were
