so I want to put this up the show you what we're monitoring this morning by the way

like and thumbs up it does affect the algorithm more people become aware of our channel

and our conversation and that's very important for the moment that we're in because you know we're

independent media independent journalism and we give it to you straight without corporate

influence or any of that stuff so thank you for joining us this morning I want to make sure

there we go straighten that out thank you for joining us this morning again I'm on the road as you can see as always trying to bring you the news from different places and I'm going to make sure there we go, straighten that out. Thank you for joining us this morning. Again, I'm on the road, as you can see, as always, trying to bring you the news from different places. And I'm going to talk to some people where I am. And you're going to see what's up, what's happening in the world as it relates to gas prices and how people are feeling about the war. I'm sure you've been seeing some of our social media things that we've been putting up with people who have very strong opinions about what's happening with Iran. But one of the interesting things is that I just want to tell you real quickly before I get to the news. I stopped. This woman was going into a supermarket, and I wanted to ask her like, hey, when you come out, can you tell me about the prices or whatever? And I said, I just want to talk to you ma'am can I talk to you and she said um I not right now about what though what and I said about

the war in Iran it's easy and she goes that's not easy and I said yeah it's easy because people

have a very strong opinion about it and when people have very strong opinions about things

it's easy for them to voice them if you don't then like I don't really know about it whatever when people have very strong opinions about things it's easy for them to voice

them if you don't then like i don't really know about it or whatever and then i think she kind of got it

but she didn't if you have if if there's a subject that you have very strong opinions about all you have to do

is say i have really strong opinions about this so um anyways that's my story and I'm sticking to it so welcome to the

don lemon show we are watching two hearings we can call them warring hearings on Capitol
