Don Lemon Says Nikki Haley Is Past Her ‘Prime’

We were talking about what Don Lemon said yesterday on CNN, this violent statement he told viv I mean, he didn't give a damn about any woman when he made these comments. Let's hear. Oh talk about age makes me uncomfortable. I think that I think it's the wrong road to go down. She says. People, you know, politicians are something and not in their prime. NICKI Haley isn't in their prime? Sorry.

When a woman is considered being her prime in our twenties and thirties and maybe forties twenty topically, that's not, according to me, prime what it depends. I mean, it's just like prime. If you look it up, it'll say if you look at you Google, when is a woman in her prime? It'll say twenties, thirties and forties. I don't know forties. I didn't agree with that, So I think she has to be careful about saying that. You know,

politicians aren't in there, probably need to get qualifier. You're talking about prime for like child him carrying or are you talking facts? Are google it? So we're asking eight hundred five eight five one oh five one, what are your thoughts? Let's start with the OG carry champion. You know what I think I think that was. I think it was silly. Look I know Don and and and know him well enough to text and talk to him and oftentimes, maybe not even often. Twice I've sent him

in Texas said why did you say that? What it's wrong with you? Whatever he has said in the past, I have said, don you can't say that. He's like, you know what, my bad or I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I think a lot of times, when you're trying to be provocative, especially in our world, which is which has changed the game that we live in, it's all about going viral and making statements and being relevant,

and you get caught up. I don't necessarily think he was one percent trying to insult all of women, but he did, like and it's it's not fair, it's not fair for us because we always are limited. You guys get better as you get older, and women are done at a certain age. And if men were honest, I'm like, yeah, that's too old for me. Like age appropriate, men are rarely dating age appropriate if they're dating rarely, you know

what I mean. I take what you said. I also think we live in these world of extremes where everybody is on the side, especially when it comes to politics. Soon Don is liberal, He's a Democrat. Nicky Harley is Republican conservative. So instead of like him, looking at what she said, because what she said is, hey, I think anybody over the age of seventy five should have to have a mental competency test to run for, you know, president of a hold to be president of the United

States of America. And by the way, there's nothing wrong with there's nothing wrong with that. But he can't he can't say that because he's so beholden to Democrats. He's so in love with the Liberals, he's so in love with President Joe Biden, so he don't even want to seem like he's on the side of Nicky Harley, which I think is extremely well. I don't think he's so in love with Perhaps he is, but I think he was just trying to make a point that what he

said was what she said wasn't fair. But she was absolutely within the round of possibility, like after seventy five years old, you most definitely even to me, that's ridiculous because a woman could never be president at eighty years old, exactly. They would never put an eight year or a woman in the White House. And Trump is over seventy five two. So her saying that wasn't just a shot at President Biden. It was a shot at a former president Trump as well.

But he can't even have a real nuanced conversation about what she's saying because she's on the other side. If a Democrat would have said that, he would have went up there and he wouldn't even have talked about, you know, Carrie, not being in our prime, but not for nothing, that's my ass. I'm in my prime, but not for nothing. I think you take your past politics. I think you should do it for your license. I think you didn't do it. Oh don't know. I thought I thought you had.

They don't know. They don't. And it's interesting that you say this because my grandmother I got mad at me because I told her she couldn't drive. It was years ago. You can't drive anymore. You just don't have the same reflex as you're not supposed to be driving. And they don't make them retake the task and they should. Absolutely, Yes, there is a past your prime. Let's go to the phone lines. Hello is this day? What's up? Brother? Talk to us? What was your thoughts on down Lemon statements.

I don't agree with the way he said it, but I do agree with them. But I think I think, well, this is what I mean by that. I think that when it comes to the state market value, older women don't hold as much dating market value, not saying that they're not in their prime or they're not valuable as people. So when it comes to the dating market, yeah, they

don't hold as much a date market value. I'm gonna tell you when I'm gonna when man may comments like that, they tell me they ain't got no eyes, because, bro, if you look around right now, the old g's are killing these young girls every day. I mean, Angela Bassett, me and Long, Jennifer Lopez, Patty Laba. I'm not saying that those are not beautiful women, do That's not what I'm saying. When I'm saying that they are still valuable,

they are still beautiful women. I'm saying when it comes to day market value, most meted are still going to prefer a younger woman. That's just that's just biological wire. That's how we are, and that's true. Well, I tell you one thing. Somebodyse man man like Diddy, did he need to be with a woman that can identify the signs of a stroke? Shut up? Hello, who's this? My name's I used to Hey, I U should come on and talk to us. What do you think about Don

Lemon's comments? So, I find it interesting that it seems that men are always expressing some sort of imaginary standard for women, like a blanket standard. You have to be this tall, you have to be this body type. And it's like women aren't cars. We don't Our value is not based on some made up metrics. You know, women are people. And I find it interesting that the age range women in our forties. You know, I'm in my thirties.

But the older you get to hire your sex drive, the more financially stable you are, the more comfortable you are in your body. And I feel like the more weight games, hair loss. It's like you're declining, sir, not sing sir. That a man who likes men if comments want anything about women? Whoa? Whoa do anyway? WHOA? But do you think there's something to that? I think it is. And I think the men, the red tiled men, men who alma got something to say about women? They don't

like women for real. That's a whole other topic. I think that that alpha male, that alpha male, alpha male Twitter is ridiculous, alpham mal Twitter is a shame. I look, I agree with her. I think, well, two things. One, Don does say things that are are that are very traditionally not someone who has ever been with a woman or dating women in that way. I agree with that, like because I said, I'll say, Don, that's not that's not normal. Literally, I remember we have this conversation. Me

and my girlfriends were talking. I agree with this caller. Me and my girlfriends were talking. There is a metric for women, like there's just imaginary metric. You guys, might you are more evolved, you are the you're outside of the norm in the sense of how men feel a women, but they do like, oh I like her, but she's to this or she's to that like the littlest things, and we get we get judged, and especially if you're a black woman, you get judged at such a different rate.

And I think, don listen. He tried to walk it back what he was trying to do. I think, Morris, is what you were saying. He was trying to agree with the Democrats period, not so much in the way that he hated Nikki Haley, but in a way that he was like, she doesn't know what she's saying. Yeah, but it's hard for us. It's literally hard for us.

And I don't want to get into whether or not he's had her sexual or he's gay, and that matters, but he does sound like a man who hasn't been around a fine ass black woman like you think reality you think sometimes like gay men step bout of that lane and forget you still are for sure, So you can't comment on woman for sure for sure all the time. You shouldn't be saying like, come on, we can't say

a woman's out of her prime. And she had a point, but I don't want to I don't want to hold don too that he just says things like that all the time. But let's let's take some more calls to do it. When we come back eight hundred five eight five, one oh five one. We're talking about Don Lemon's comments. Have you heard him? Let's play a clip right fast. Oh, talk about age makes me uncomfortable. I think that I

think it's the wrong road to go down. She says. People, you know, politicians are something I'm not in their prime? NICKI Haley isn't in their prime? Sorry. When a woman is considered being her prime in her twenties and thirties and maybe forties, that's not, according to me, prime for what it depends. I mean, it's just like prime. If you look it up, it'll say if you look, if you google when is a woman in her prime? It'll say twenties, thirties and forties. I don't necessary I agree

with that. So I think she has to be careful about saying that. You know, politicians aren't in their problems? You can qualified. Are you're talking about prime for like child? Are you talking about effects? Are google it? We'll take it calls when we come back as the Breakfast Club, the morning you opinion to the Breakfast Club type fad one Morning Ever Audius dj n V Charlomagne the guy

we are to Breakfast Club. We got our co host Carrie Champion joining us, and we're talking about these comments that Don Lemon said on CNN. Let's listen. Oh talk about age makes me uncomfortable. I think that I think it's a wrong road to go down. She says, people, you know, politicians are something and not in their prime. Nicki Haley isn't in her prime. Sorry, when a woman is considered being her prime in our twenties and thirties and maybe forty twenty, that's not, according to me, prime

for what it depends on. It's just like prime. If you look it up, it'll say if you look, if you google, when is a woman in her prime? It'll say twenties, thirties and forties. I don't know forties. I agree with that. So I think she has to be careful about saying that, you know, politicians aren't in their problem. We need to qualifier. You're talking about prime for like child and carrying? Are you talking about that's drum? Facts? Are google it? So we're asking eight on June five, five,

one oh five one, what are your thoughts? We have Noel on a line. Noel Good morning, Good morning. How you feeling this morning? I'm feeling last and then I'm a Trinidadian and a Trinidad's partible. I'm so, what did you think about Don lemons comments? I think that Don Lemon should not be speaking on women because you don't believe it's like women. You have to really understand physically and mentally what a woman does before you can even

talk about it. And you know, like he's trying to get cloud but it's like, you don't even really like us, So why are you speaking to us. You don't even know what a woman is in her prime and what you can do in her prime. I'm in my prime any age that I am. That's true, that's more than the physical. But you know what, you don't really like women. So I need you to stop saying that because you

don't even understand us. Number one, and Don saying that, you know that wasn't his personal take, but you shouldn't repeat a take that's not yours like it's yours. You can't. You can't make this statement and didn't say but that's not my person I think, no, no, no, no, don't work like that. Yeah, but that's why they call hair saying court. You know, like you saying court. They don't do that, So he needs to stop. And I'm like,

I'm in the ahl. Just time becomes fine as there's a bunch of women in their primes that we could have a full circle with them and we could talk about women in their prime. That's what you do. You don't go around and talk about all that set willy nilly. It's insipid. Okay, thank you, mama. And I feel like you know, I dare not men men all believe this, you know what I mean. You guys are referring to whether or not she's referring to whether he's said whether

he likes women or not. Couldn't believe this, whether they like women or not. Not all men, not all men. But I have been around head of sexual men who believe that after you hit a certain age, you're not in your prime and that and and literally steadfast about it. And so I don't think it has anything to do with a sexuality. Yeah we can harp on that, but

he just is. It's a man thing. It's toxic masculinity, it is the patriarchy, it's all the things in which we have been taught in this country, Don is repeating all the subliminally, whether he realizes or right, that's what he's repeating. Okay, you know what's going on is from Brooking, Good morning every one. Yeah, yeah, I really don't agree with you grew up like that though, anyone from a

you know, especially you're a certain type of culture. You grew up in the fact that the women kind of expire certain things at a certain age, or if they're not married but at a certain age, are not another doctor, I don't I don't understand what a woman prime is. I know a lot of women twenty thirty, forty fifty, they're looking for great Yeah, I mean you know what, man, Primes are changing every day because there's certain people that's making you realize, like, damn, you can keep going angel

Bath in our sixties. Bro Now, why associating prime with what you look like? Because do you see the physical connotation here? You guys are keep saying she fine because she's sixty, She fine because she We don't say that about it. Man, he fined for sixty, he fined for fifty, he fined for forty. Why are we associating what you look like as your prime? Right? But then men I look like that too, But I think because a lot of times your external is a reflection of your internal.

So if you've been doing what you're supposed to do as far as you know your physical fitness, as far as your mental fitness, your emotional fitness, it will reflect on your outside. So I think that's the reason why. What's the more the story? Guys, what's the moral? The moral of the story is the prime for me, it could be anything. It could be. It could be all encompassing mental physical success. That's prime. People don't hit their prime.

Men and women don't hit their prime to their forties maybe fifties, in terms of really getting to the place where you're having some financial success hardworking folks. I'm not talking about an entertainer or somebody who does something differently. You start to arrive where you are in your prime when you're around your forties. It's a different level of life that you experience. And I'm not just saying that

just about physicality. I don't want to associate prime with that either, But like, because I'm fine to sell talk sixty three. Yeah, And I also want to say too, this is why I hate cable news, because it's designed to wear one side of the other, can't even agree with each other backs, and you end up sounding stupid because against people, just because all Don had to do was focus on what Nikki actually said, and it's that

people over seventy five need a mental competency test. Have that combo instead of talking about the little woman that is in their prime with though
