the same thing when I see not all black Republicans, but I see a black MAGA person who is carrying Donald Trump's water and they know that he's lying, it is the shortest line to the front. Because if you're black and you're whatever, you're just in line with a bunch of other Democrats that are doing the same thing that you're doing.

But if you become a black MAGA person, it's like, whoa, let's book this person, let's put him on television. So you don't think you can be a sincere black MAGA person? No, as you said, I don't think that... I just said I think there can be sincere Republicans. But you can't be a sincere black Republican. I don't think that you can be a rational MAGA, be black and be a rational MAGA person.

Because black people, if you really want to fix the problem, here's just five things that you should think about doing. Here's number five. And if this doesn't apply to you, if you're not doing this, then it doesn't apply to you. I'm not talking about you. Here's number five. Pull up your pants. Some people, a lot of them black, gave me flack for saying that recently on the Wendy Williams show.

Sounds like a MAGA guy. If you're sagging, it means I think it's your self-esteem is sagging and who you are as a person. It's sagging. Young people need to be taught respect and there are rules. Don, what a radical. Whether it's Justin Bieber or no-name Derek around the way, walking around with your ass and your underwear showing is not okay.

In fact, it comes from prison when they take away belts from the prisoner so that they can't make a weapon. And then it evolved into which role a prisoner would have during male-on-male prison sex. The one with the really low pants is a submissive one. You get my point? Number four now is the N-word.

I understand poetic license, but consider this. I hosted a special on the N-word suggesting that black people stop using it and that entertainers stop deluding yourselves or themselves and others that you're somehow taking the word back.

By promoting the use of that word when it's not germane to the conversation, have you ever considered that you may just be perpetuating the stereotype the master intended, acting like a nigger? A lot of African-Americans took offense to that, too, and I wondered if I gave the right advice. I really did.

But confirmation came the very next day on my way home when I exited the subway on 125th Street in Harlem. This little kid in a school uniform, no older than seven years old, he was crying his eyes out as he walked down the sidewalk with his mother. I'm going to be honest here. She turned to him and she said, I'm sick of you. You act like an old ass man. Stop all that crying, nigger.

Isn't that taking the word back? Think about that. Now, number three, respect where you live. Start small by not dropping trash, littering in your own communities. I've lived in several predominantly white neighborhoods in my life. I rarely, if ever, witness people littering. I live in Harlem now. It's an historically black neighborhood.

There are some things that are no, no, no. I'm interested in this. There are some things that are really egregious. Right. And then not but not everything is Harvey Weinstein level. And so that's right. And then some of the right. That's a whole different story. I'm not talking about that. And I'm not saying it makes it right. But.

I remember when I was in Atlanta and I was in the cafeteria, commissary, whatever.

At CNN. And this woman, young lady, tweaked my nipples and said, oh, it's cold in here. And I said, okay, you realize if I did that, they'd be walking me out the door right now. But I didn't care. I didn't go to HR. I didn't say anything because I was just like, it's a double standard.

Someone who I work with also harassed me at CNN. And I never went to management. First of all, I was so new there. A man or a woman? A woman. And she knew I was gay. And it was just bizarre. She was going through a divorce. It was just weird. And I never went to management. First of all, I thought like, okay, they may find a way to get rid of me because...

If I told this story, I don't know if they're going to believe me or not. But then she was so mean to me after that. I was like, I should have told the story. But, yeah, I've been harassed by men and women. But what constituted this harassment? Like, physically? Like, in the office? Like, come in and twirl for me, Don? It wasn't a twirl for me, but it was not in the office.

Your show's on YouTube now. It's a different mechanism. It's the same thing, though. It's a smaller screen. Do more people watch you on YouTube than watch you on CNN? I think now, I think they, well... You don't know the answer to that question? No, no, I do know the answer to that question. I think, you know, in my early days on CNN, I would say more people watched me on CNN.

And then also when I was there, it was a different time. I think more people watched me on CNN I don't know. I think more people watch me now. But I think the highest point of CNN was during COVID. And we had COVID and George Floyd at the same time and Donald Trump. And that was the height. That was the highest ratings, the most profitable of CNN. And so it was amazing to be there.

People love AOC. People love Jasmine Crockett. People love Eric Swalwell and the like. And I think that the Democratic Party should put the people out there who the people want. They should put the politicians out there who the people want, who they're asking for. I mean—
