LEMON DROP | Trump Rants at Kids, Kash Attacks the Media & the Optics of the Met Gala
Don Lemon
0:00 We need to talk about this week.
0:02 The president of the United States sat down
0:04 with a room full of children and started talking about war.
0:07 The FBI is now going after journalists at the Atlantic for reporting
0:11 things about Cash Patel that he did not want the public to know.
0:15 Marco Rubio just flew to Rome to meet with the Pope and the fact
0:18 that that meeting had to happen tells you everything you need to know.
0:22 And then the Met Gala happened.
0:24 Celebrities spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on outfits at a party
0:29 sponsored by gazillionaire Jeff Bezos while
0:33 many Americans can't even afford rent.
0:35 The disconnect is staggering.
0:38 Read the room.
0:39 Metball and rich people.
0:41 Let's get into it.
0:42 He's ranting about the Iran war and what they've obliterated.
0:45 And he looked away from the proclamation he was supposed to be citing and said,
0:50 "They don't look like playing games with us.
0:53 They don't like playing games with us.
0:55 He said they don't like it at all.
0:58 You'll see that as time goes by.
1:00 You're going to see it.
1:04 Now, I want you to look at the kid's
1:05 reaction as he continues to talk about the war.
1:10 People say, "Why aren't they protesting?
1:12 They want to protest, but they don't have any guns." So you
1:16 can have 200,000 people protesting and they have five
1:19 or six sick people with guns and when they
1:22 start shooting them right between the eyes and you see
1:24 oh my god when you have no guns am I the only one?
1:39 This is a sick man.
1:41 Between this is the point where my mom
1:46 or somebody or Tim would be like, "Hey, no, done.
1:54 Done.
1:56 86 this conversation." That's what they would be saying.
2:01 Except, you know, we don't they don't know the word the meaning of 86.
2:04 They think it means to off someone.
2:06 Does not.
2:08 But I mean, don't you?
2:09 Yes, it is a face palm.
2:11 Juice box.
2:11 It is a face palm.
2:13 It's crazy.
2:16 Am I doing too much?
2:19 Cuz not even when I was in school, which was not so long ago, actually.
2:25 Was when I was in uh school,
2:27 elementary school or junior high school, nobody talked like this to me.
2:31 I mean, we we we learned about war, which I don't know.
2:35 Do they even teach the Civil War now?
2:36 Do they even teach that the Civil War was about slavery or is it just,
2:40 you know, we were on an excursion to bring the states together?
2:45 Maybe that's what they're teaching now.
2:46 But no one talked about shooting them between the eyes
2:49 and the B2 bombers or I'm like, what about that?
2:53 They would say this is a kind of the military planes perhaps,
2:57 but that was when we got older, not like young kids like that.
3:03 And then the kids start yawning.
3:05 They're fidgeting.
3:06 Their eyes are rolling.
3:08 One child looked like he would like he was
3:10 trying to figure out how to escape through a window.
3:13 The president's healthcare team is lying to him about how sick he actually is.
3:17 I'm a physical therapist with a doctor in my field
3:19 and 14 years experience working in home healthcare,
3:22 treating geriatric patients with dementia, narcissistic tendencies,
3:26 all sorts of fun[ __] And when I got the score in the test,
3:30 the doctor said, "Wow, I've never seen,
3:33 you know, you have five doctors lined up.
3:34 They're all over the place."
3:36 He just admitted to the world that there were five doctors in the room with him.
3:41 Why would five doctors need to be there to administer a cognitive test?
3:45 Because he is a complex psychiatric and cognitive
3:49 case that requires multidisciplinary assessment of fitness to serve.
3:54 He literally had the maximum workup for somebody
3:58 that they were clinically concerned should not be the president.
4:02 And they did not tell him that.
4:04 He's admitting to the world that in the room with him was a neurologist,
4:08 a psychiatrist, a psychologist, a neurossychologist,
4:13 and a geriatric specialist physician who most likely is a medical director
4:18 for a nursing home or a home health agency like the one I work for.
4:22 And even further, they have had this entire
4:25 team of five specialists evaluate him three different times.
4:31 Holy[ __] Every single opportunity he gets to speak publicly,
4:37 he is going to admit something that he should not talk about.
4:40 This is because he has fronttotemporal dementia.
4:43 His frontal lobe, which is our way to filter our actions and our thoughts,
4:48 is disintegrating inside of his skull.
4:50 On top of that, he is a malignant
4:52 narcissist who is in the middle of narcissistic collapse.
4:55 Every day I open up my phone and look
4:57 to see if Trump said something that he should not have.
5:01 And I especially want to see him incriminate himself in the Epstein files.
5:04 I actually think there's a better chance he will incriminate himself regarding
5:08 Epstein with his mouth than he will with the files actually being released.
5:13 They should all be released, of course,
5:14 but it would just be amazing if he[ __] it up all himself.
5:18 At this point, he's on nine days of borrowed time from when he should have
5:22 either aspirated on a Big Mac and developed
5:24 pneumonia and left the land of the living.
5:26 All right.
5:26 All right.
5:26 So, that's a little, but we don't know about the we don't
5:29 know about the full frontal dementia, any of that.
5:32 Again, he's not his doctor.
5:33 We don't know.
5:33 But is what he's saying correct about the number of people and all of that?
5:38 See, here's the problem, right?
5:40 We can't have it both ways.
5:41 We admit, we all know that Trump talks total garbage.
5:47 We know that there might have been two people in the room.
5:49 He'll say five, right?
5:50 That embellishment is one of his specific characteristics.
5:54 So, is it possible that there were five people in the room?
5:58 It's possible.
5:59 Do we do psychiatric evaluations with multiple
6:02 doctors standing in front of a patient?
6:03 Yes.
6:04 Um, that is true.
6:06 But you have no idea who those five people are.
6:08 So, I I I won't say that what this person said is not true.
6:12 I'm just saying that Trump, you know, admitting that five people are there.
6:16 It could be total garbage.
6:17 This may not have even happened.
6:18 Actually, the person who might have told him that, oh,
6:21 you did so amazing on that test could have been his wife.
6:24 Also, don't forget, I mean,
6:25 if we're going to say that there's a medical issue here,
6:28 and I also believe that there's definitely a medical issue here,
6:32 and I remember, you know, we've had we've had people even in Congress,
6:35 right, that you look at and you're think this is elder abuse.
6:38 What's going on here?
6:40 um Feinstein.
6:41 I mean, come on.
6:42 You know, so like we know that this is
6:44 something that occurs within our political sphere.
6:47 It is completely possible that he does have dementia and that there's
6:50 a team of people around him who are just as kind of cruel,
6:54 frankly, propping him up as the person because they know that people
6:58 will continue to follow this quote unquote savior and do what they want.
7:03 But I can't tell you that's accurate.
7:05 You know what they said about the five people.
7:07 Now, I wasn't born yesterday,
7:11 but but I still went I may have been born yesterday, but I still went shopping.
7:16 I know uh when someone is bullshitting me, and you can't[ __] a bullshitter.
7:22 And so, I don't know.
7:23 Donald Trump keeps saying that he's talking to the right people.
7:25 All of the things.
7:27 And I can literally pick I could go back through uh and just
7:31 do a Google search on Iran deal Trump and virtually the exact same thing.
7:36 I can get from a week ago,
7:38 a week before that, a week before that, a week before that, go
7:41 back to the very beginning of this war and hear the exact same thing.
7:44 Here we are.
7:45 I forget how many days we are into this war and there's still no deal.
7:49 And he and Pete Hex and all the folks keep touting this is obliterated.
7:53 That's obliterated.
7:54 We've used this firepower.
7:55 We've done that to them.
7:57 But still, Iran has not relented.
7:58 And there is no straight is still closed.
8:03 Yeah.
8:03 And and not only uh is the straight still closed, the US is imposing a blockade.
8:07 You know, US US F-18 took out a ship.
8:11 You know, basically a ship that was trying to get to an Iranian port today.
8:16 Uh you know, the ceasefire has been very uh you know, razor thin.
8:20 You know, the Iran has attacked the UAE.
8:22 Um it's attacked other vessels.
8:25 And you know, the US, you know,
8:27 in a in a in an attempt to even put more pressure on on Iran,
8:30 announced a very short-lived, you know,
8:33 uh uh effort to open up the straight by force.
8:36 Uh and it was called off within 24 hours of it kind of being implemented.
8:40 But you see this uh this real effort by by the by by the US
8:45 United States to show progress and increase pressure on Iran to get to a deal.
8:50 And yet the Iranians are, you know,
8:52 publicly and and internally uh, you know, still pretty defiant.
8:57 Well, it's it's it's easier.
8:58 This is a baseball guy, but um and it has the seal of the state department.
9:02 So, okay.
9:03 It uh what to get someone who has everything.
9:05 I thought a being of course plant of peace.
9:09 There's this the code of arms here of beautiful pontificate here.
9:14 But uh brand and uh this is just what
9:19 we in the Chicago call a coffee table palace here.
9:22 Different works of art that beautiful paintings by Rafael classic artist.
9:37 Well, listen, um I think it takes a lot
9:40 of nerve for there to be this allout war happening uh
9:45 between the head of our country and someone with whom
9:50 if if you were going to show respect for anybody,
9:52 you would think it would be leaders of entire Christian faith religions.
9:59 Um especially considering the people who vote for this president.
10:04 But that's not exactly the way he rolls.
10:08 Um, I think we've seen attack after
10:11 attack after attack from Trump toward the Pope
10:17 and frankly some some good responses that people
10:21 weren't ready for from the Pope to Trump.
10:25 So, why is Donald Trump so hellbent on trying to control the election
10:35 in 2026 in November is because he's trying to stem the tide.
10:40 This is the polling on the midterm vote preferences,
10:44 which is also from an ABC report.
10:47 Democrats 52%.
10:50 32% for Republicans.
10:51 Now, they're trying to, you know, with the gerrymandering,
10:54 with what happened with the Supreme Court,
10:56 all of the things, they're trying to mitigate
10:58 the damage that's going to happen in November of 2026.
11:02 They may be successful.
11:05 Mike Johnson, the House Speaker, is saying,
11:07 you know what, Republicans are going to stay in control.
11:10 Adults are in control, and Republicans are going to win the midterms.
11:13 We'll see if the germandering and redrawing
11:15 districts if that changes anything come November.
11:20 But polling in the trust of Democrats versus Republicans here it is
11:27 on health care right Democrats versus Republicans on health care 42% Democrats.
11:34 Now I mean this is education Democrats.
11:37 The cost of living remember what James Carville said.
11:41 You guys know the famous saying, it's the economy, stupid.
11:46 And to have Democrats ahead in all of this is quite astounding,
11:49 especially in the cost of living.
11:52 That's amazing.
11:53 So, Democrats should at least feel good about that.
11:56 Not just Democrats, people who care about uh the normaly,
12:00 the about following the rules,
12:03 about our democracy, about the constitution,
12:04 about the bill of rights, people who believe in truth,
12:07 people who believe that the um the executive branch should have accountability,
12:17 should be levers to be able to um in some way
12:20 control the executive branch or to keep it from becoming dictatorial.
12:28 Good to see you.
12:29 Are you optimistic about last night?
12:30 Because there were, look, we know Trump's thing with back,
12:33 you know, the MAGA backed Republicans.
12:36 Uh, it worked, but I think that's ultimately good
12:39 for the Democrats because people are fed up with MAGA.
12:42 That's my opinion as we walk through these results.
12:44 What do you think?
12:45 Well, yeah.
12:46 I mean, it worked because they they dumped a crap ton of money into those races.
12:52 I mean, those races typically in Indiana would cost
12:55 $240,000 for all of the races in the entire cycle.
12:59 And yet, they spent $13 million.
13:01 They had a massive grassroots um galvanization where Turning Point USA and other
13:08 organizations flooding the state and saying
13:11 that these people are disloyal to Trump.
13:13 So, it wasn't that uh the Trump re just happened to be,
13:17 you know, I say that these people shall lose and that's what happened.
13:21 I mean, this was an absolute to me setting $14 million on fire
13:26 to prove a point that you have to stick with Trump within the party.
13:30 But I wrote a book on the 2022 midterms and it was called
13:34 the long and short of it guide to the 2022 midterms radical Republicans.
13:39 And what I found in that book,
13:41 now obviously I wrote it before the election results,
13:43 is that those Trumpedback MAGA Republicans got
13:47 their assets handed to them in 2022.
13:49 I mean, if you think about Carrie Lake, if you think about uh MMT Oz lost,
13:54 um uh it was a few others that lost throughout Dan Mastriano.
14:00 And so, yes, if you have Jerry Mander districts, yes,
14:03 if you have completely red districts, then the MAGA Republican is going to win.
14:08 But statewide in key places like Ohio
14:12 and other places that are really competitive,
14:14 North Carolina and Georgia, that is not going to fly in this electorate.
14:19 That's what I believe.
14:20 And you notice that I'm very calm this morning.
14:21 One, you know, I'm jetlagged, but two, um,
14:25 I decided that you don't have to be loud and hyperbolic all
14:27 the time and and and I I can be passionate this way as well.
14:30 But number two, fashion is art.
14:32 Yes, it is.
14:33 Yes, fashion is art,
14:34 but black people taught the world that black people from neighborhoods
14:38 um that looked nothing like the Metropolitan Museum of Art,
14:42 that they can create fashion,
14:45 who had nothing but creativity and pride and community and built
14:49 something that the entire luxury fashion industry now copies and profits from.
14:54 Do you guys understand that?
14:55 Especially people, minorities, un people, part of the underserved community.
14:59 I'm talking to my black brothers and sisters.
15:01 I'm talking to my Latino brothers and sisters.
15:02 I'm talking to my my Indian American brothers
15:06 and sisters who are aware enough to realize
15:08 that they are not white because and same
15:11 thing with my Latino brothers and sisters.
15:13 I'm just going to be honest with you that you got
15:16 to stop cozing up to that power because it's not buying you anything.
15:20 You have to remember that the freedoms that you
15:22 get in this country came from black people.
15:24 I'm just telling you and if I were white,
15:27 I'd be saying the same thing because it's true.
15:29 This is what they don't want you to know.
15:31 All of this fashion stuff, all of the runway stuff, all of it.
15:34 Black people, current fashion, black people,
15:40 music, black people, country music, black people.
15:46 So, all of this came and I did not
15:48 see I saw some black people walking the runway.
15:51 I saw some black people who were on the boards,
15:54 but are they really aware or as they say woke?
15:57 the original meaning of the word woke before
16:02 it was co-opted by people uh entitled people,
16:06 privileged people who said, "No, this is what we want this word to mean.
16:09 Cancellation.
16:10 That's not what it means.
16:14 Fashion is art." Black people taught the world that they
16:18 had nothing but creativity and pride and and built something,
16:22 as I said, that the world in the fashion industry now profits off of.
16:27 Not just the fashion industry, the agents, the managers, the team owners.
16:40 We have to realize our power and realize the creativity
16:44 that we have because we had to have that creativity.
16:47 We had to think of other ways to go around the system
16:50 because the system did not accept us and still doesn't in many ways.
16:54 So, and when people in in this society when they say there's no systemic racism,
16:58 everything is equal to, that's[ __] Last night,
17:03 while their heirs, all of these rich people were celebrating
17:08 fashion as art at $100,000 a plate dinner or ticket.
17:15 $100,000 a ticket, I should say.
17:17 a 72-y old black woman who makes products that f that that woman was what?
17:26 She makes products that funds one of the most
17:28 powerful men in the world, keeps him rich.
17:31 She was having her face projected onto
17:33 the condo because she cannot make ends meet.
17:37 Now, I have an idea.
17:38 I told you what I would do and I wrote some notes.
17:41 This is what I would do on my idea.
17:44 What if the next year the Met Gala said,
17:47 "Come as you are." Which is what they should have said.
17:49 "Come as you are." Which is what all of those creative people of color,
17:54 LGBTQ, and on and on.
17:57 Black women, come as you are.
17:58 Black men, we call him Dandy.
18:00 Remember, everybody, I don't know if you guys, you guys need to research this.
18:03 Dandy in Harlem.
18:04 That's what they call it.
18:04 That's why they call him Dapper Dan.
18:10 Come as you are.
18:12 Wear what you already own.
18:14 Get creative with what's in your closet the way black people in Harlem
18:19 and the Bronx and Brooklyn and Queens always
18:20 did and in underserved neighborhoods around the country, Compton, everywhere.
18:24 The way that creativity that create
18:27 that creativity born from necessity that became
18:32 the foundation of everything that you are now celebrating in that building.
18:38 That's where the magic is.
18:43 That's where awareness is.
18:45 Imagine if you had made that statement instead of people dressing
18:48 up as statues and I don't know, all kinds of stuff.
18:51 The uh FBI is reportedly investigating The Atlantic now.
18:55 And then Cash Patel, of course,
18:57 fires files a $250 million lawsuit against The Atlantic.
19:02 I I'm I'm tired.
19:04 I'm like I've been saying forever that Kasum and and and Tara
19:13 and Dena that we're living inside of Trump's dwarfed mind or his um megalomania,
19:20 his psychosis, neurosis, whatever it is.
19:23 And we know how ligious he is.
19:25 He is he he loves being in lawsuits.
19:27 And now here we are bombarded with lawsuits that are going to go nowhere.
19:32 But yet our tax may our taxpayer money has been
19:35 burn is being burned um just to pay for it cost.
19:39 Yeah.
19:40 I mean we're in a kistocrati right um where you have the worst people
19:43 in the most powerful position and it's you know the the it's a joke
19:47 but it's reality that you know um idiocracy is a it's a documentary
19:52 um not not a comedy because that's kind of where we are right now.
19:55 And look and Don you were subject to this as well right?
19:58 he came after you.
19:59 This this this regime came after you for doing
20:01 your job as a journalist and simply reporting on what's happening.
20:04 And and to me that's what this fundamentally is.
20:06 There is a rich first amendment protection history in our country.
20:10 It's probably stronger here than just about any country on earth.
20:14 And there have been numerous cases even during wartime where
20:18 media and outlets published uh war plans and the you know
20:22 the courts refused to censor the journalists because it's enshrined
20:25 in our first amendment that a free press is part of our constitution.
20:29 This is not a negotiable.
20:30 It's you know the very first of the bill of rights.
20:33 And so what um what Kash Patel is doing here is not only just nonsensical.
20:39 uh he's already lost I think he lost uh the previous
20:41 defamation case but what he's trying to do if he's
20:44 successful here this undermines all media period because now anyone
20:50 can be held accountable for anything that the regime doesn't like.
20:53 I'm I'm hopeful again that our courts will recognize this and recognize
20:58 that this is not a line that we can come back from.
21:01 But for them to to you know kind of undermine I mean
21:04 they've already undermined the you know
21:07 Roie Wade they've undermined the EPA they've
21:09 undermined the voting rights act it it's not a stretch that they will
21:13 undermine centuries of first amendment president here as well but in this case
21:17 you know we do have well over 150 years of the first amendment
21:21 being challenged by the government for uh for media publishing things that they
21:25 you know weren't supposed to publish and consistently media has been successful
21:29 in the space but again with a man who controls the Supreme Court 63,
21:33 controls the DOJ, controls the FBI with an iron fist.
21:36 If there was ever a time where it's going to fall,
21:38 I I think right now is what we're looking at, Dana.
21:44 So, the shocking thing about it is that they're investigating the journalist.
21:48 Typically, in a case like this, they would be investigating the leaker because
21:52 it would be the leaker who had classified information that they then spread.
21:57 I mean, you can't even argue that that that what about
22:01 two dozen anonymous sources evidently told The Atlantic about his, you know,
22:05 debauchery and and capability of doing his job.
22:08 You can't even argue that that's classified.
22:11 But usually that is where an investigation would center would be.
22:16 Okay.
22:17 Who's who's got the classified information?
22:18 Where is it going?
22:19 It is.
22:20 I mean, exactly.
22:21 We don't need to tell you, Don.
22:23 The attack on the press and reporters is very real in this uh under this regime.
22:30 The Washington Post reporter who they went after
22:34 and seized her phone and her documents, Hannah Nanton,
22:38 she was just basically part of the team who
22:42 won a Pulter Prize for her reporting of Doge,
22:46 which I'm sure was not a coincidence.
22:48 They still have her devices there.
22:51 It's working its way through the courts.
22:52 I think the judge has stopped the FBI from from reviewing it yet.
22:57 But, you know, this is would be very alarming to go
23:01 after the um Atlantic journalist for just reporting on basically bad behavior.
23:07 But, you know, we saw this the Pentagon, right,
23:09 changing the rules saying that you cannot get
23:11 a press pass if you're going to report anonymous sources.
23:14 the lawyer for that case, you know,
23:16 for the New York Times just won an order basically demanding that the uh CNN,
23:21 the New York Times and CNN and others get their press releases.
23:25 But interestingly, uh this hasn't gotten a ton of attention,
23:28 but Alan Dersowitz is trying to get the Supreme Court
23:32 to take his defamation case during his impeachment hearing of Trump.
23:38 He says CNN basically mischaracterized what he
23:41 said and he has sued them for defamation.
23:44 He's tried to get the Supreme Court to rewrite
23:47 the defamation definition saying that it should only apply this malice,
23:52 this more difficult standard to prove should only apply to a public official,
23:57 not a public figure.
23:59 He also wants the standard instead of it
24:01 being reckless disregard to be foolish disregard.
24:04 The Supreme Court had CNN issue a um file
24:08 a petition about why they shouldn't take that case, which is very alarming.
24:13 As we know, you know, defamation has been settled law since
24:17 New York Times versus Sullivan for decades.
24:20 The fact that they even wanted to take another look at it.
24:22 To your point, you know, the Supreme Court is not here to save us.
24:27 you know, we really do have to save ourselves,
24:29 but there is a lot happening in this defamation space.
24:34 They're trying many angles to make it more difficult
24:37 for us to report on the facts and what's going on.
24:42 This is uh before I go to you, Tara,
24:43 I just want to play this was a couple weeks ago on Jen Saki's show,
24:47 the reporter who they they were thinking
24:49 of investigating her at this that point, right?
24:52 Um, and now according to the reporting that there is an investigation.
24:56 I don't know if the investigation is in full has come to fruition.
25:00 Uh, but this was her on this show just a couple days ago.
25:04 Want to give you an opportunity to respond to this reaction
25:06 to your piece because Patel's adviser
25:08 Erica Knight called your piece fabricated stories.
25:11 She said that every sus every serious DC reporter passed on.
25:15 Sarah Fitzpatrick and Jeffrey Goldberg printed it anyway.
25:18 Lawsuit is being filed.
25:20 What do you say to that?
25:21 I say that I am a very careful, very diligent,
25:24 award-winning investigative reporter with a history
25:26 of award-winning work across multiple organizations.
25:29 You and I in fact have worked together previously.
25:32 I stand by every word of this reporting.
25:34 Uh we have excellent attorneys and um you know it is a surprise
25:38 it is a surprising statement but a very telling statement I believe
25:41 uh from and I would also note we reached out for comment
25:44 to the White House and to the Justice
25:46 Department neither of which disputed anything.
25:49 We gave multiple opportunities including 19 detailed detailed questions.
25:54 So we stand by every word and um
25:57 look these this is telling because there are so many people you alluded
26:02 to it earlier these are not the types of people who are willing
26:06 to speak out outside of the FBI especially right now because cashel is going
26:12 after people with polygraphs in a way that has never happened at the bureau.
26:17 So for it to be this level of alarm,
26:19 this this is people genuinely concerned that America is a in danger as a result
26:24 of this conduct and um I feel you know a real responsibility to take
26:28 care of that reporting incredibly carefully
26:30 and The Atlantic is nothing but diligent
26:32 and uh we have amazing lawyers and amazing editors and I stand by every word.
26:38 Wow, she's good.
26:39 It's crazy.
26:40 And I think the reason well obviously I know the reason that we're
26:42 in this mess is because of Donald Trump because Donald Trump can't do math.
26:46 Not even when he's talking about percentages for drug prices.
26:49 Also working to make it easier than ever before
26:52 to start a family by lowering the price of IVF,
26:56 cutting regulatory battles and barriers and fighting to bring
27:00 down the cost of living so that more Americans
27:03 can pursue the dream of and it's the dream
27:07 of living just a good life, maybe a great life.
27:11 Uh, we cut drug prices now with the favored nations, most favored nations.
27:16 We cut them by 70, 80, 90%.
27:20 You could say 500%, 600 depending on the way you phrase the statement.
27:25 But we now play so we now when did math
27:30 get depending on where you wherever you phrase the statement.
27:34 I thought math was math.
27:35 I thought on the math you it has to be mathy.
27:39 And that's just me.
27:40 The president talking about war in front of kids.
27:42 The FBI going after reporter.
27:44 A secretary of state flying to Rome
27:46 to clean up the president's mess with the pope.
27:48 And Hollywood showing up to the most expensive party
27:50 of the year completely unbothered while
27:52 everyday Americans are drowning in bills.
27:54 Gas prices are through the roof.
27:57 That was this week.
