37:08 for any kind of mass shooting. But what they were not prepared for was for what happened now, I am no fan of Don Lemon No Fan but a couple things happened and this was late on late last night, and I was yeah or the night before. I'm sorry and uh i'm watching Don Lemon show and he has the ex-wife who has done I think two interviews one was with lemon the other one somebody...I haven't seen this she's... I saw the other one it was on either ABC or CBS I think it was ABC right well she's vanished now she's gone
37:50 But here was the problem. So you have Don Lemon, and of course he's a minority, he's gay, he's very opinionated... And at this point we're looking at oh man this is ISIS, this is terrorism, they hate gays who go in and killing us! Of course Don's very personally involved. Then he gets his ex-wife on the phone. He has her on the phone for 20 minutes—actually not the phone but on camera I've no idea where that was done She may be completely fake for all I know, but here's the things that she said. And I had to tighten this up because there were lots of pauses and only got a couple minutes that were worthwhile but i think it's the crux of how the message went the wrong way. It is looking into reports today that Omer may have reached out to men who attended The Pulse nightclub on the gay dating site or some gay dating sites
38:43 There's been a great deal of discussion on CNN and other places about Omar's real motivation, and what that was. What do you think it was? You know... A lot of the questions that I had back when I was with him When we were together And I was getting abused Not able to understand why he was treating me this way Why he was behaving this way They are somewhat being answered by by everything that's being uncovered. Because she is now finding out that he was gay? So far, because to me personally with everything I went through and saw and experienced daily it makes sense because he did
39:21 did have a different side of him that he could not open up to his father about. The fact that he liked to go to nightclubs, the fact that he loved to drink... These were not things that were welcome in his family structure." Okay so this is really important That she's saying look the things that he was into was against the family structure His father was you know probably a very typical relationship in this case and And I'll just say that in Afghanistan, there is a long held cultural tradition of the dancing boys of Afghanistan. The what do you call them? The Bacha Bazi boys where they dress nine ten eleven year old boys up as girls and make him dance sexually for room full of men did this. This is really true. You can look it up. This is not a lot of pedophilia. Yes, but it's part of the culture when you if he went through that, but
40:13 It wasn't in Afghanistan, but doesn't mean his father wasn't still a part of that. In fact we know nothing about this guy other than photos with senators, congressmen at the State Department. His little YouTube video was sponsored by Voice of America for the Middle East. I mean there's a lot of things wrong with this guy and not a single person has said what do you actually do for a living? Where do you get your money for this nice living room he keeps seeing in? Father not gonna have any of this drinking partying and anything else at all all and especially any indication of homosexuality. So do you think that he had gay tendencies? By the way, for a gay man to ask that in that manner is pretty despicable. Gay tenden- what are you not gay Lemon? What are you turn into a dick all of sudden? Actually I think this interview sounds as though it came after the other interview that I think it was ABC who did and they just point blank asked her
41:11 uh, was your husband... do you think your husband was gay? Which is similar to this. And she- and then they did a voiceover saying she took a long pause and then she says I think yeah probably. Well listen to the- Do you think that he had gay tendencies? Tendencies?! You know I What the hell is a tendency!? But Lemon, I just want to bookmark him saying that. I'd like to understand what a gay tendency is? Where do i classify that on my omnigender status? You know...I am not going to lie.. I definitely questioned it in my own head when I was with him and wondered if he is because he would do alot of things little things you know but that would definitely make any woman question if he was or not
41:58 This definitely came after the other interview where she started to think about it. Oh, yeah. Oh Yeah, this is so this is the this CNN comes in late to the game But it's about to go off the rails though and shit good. Yeah because she's obviously been mulling this over oh You know It was I can't really explain it because it was the way that he would behave that you know normal Straight men wouldn't and he was very, he loved to look at himself. He loved to take pictures of himself Wow! Talk about stereotyping yeah too many pictures too many selfies you must be have gay tendencies Some straight men do too but it's a certain extent Did he when you said he liked to go out to clubs that did that include gay clubs? Gay clubs?! He had confessed to me
42:50 But he had a past that involved a lot of nightlife and dancing and drinking. And he did not, as from what I remember used the words gay night club but you know...I don't know What do you mean? Are you hedging there? You don't know. Are you hedging? There's something your not saying He..no he never...I dont know He's a terrible interviewer. I know, but...I cut all this stupid shit out even! Ever remember him saying that he used to go to nightclubs? But he definitely used to have a night life. He definitely was very much in that club scene and
43:32 using, you know drinking using steroids and all the stuff that... That's another red flag. Going to nightclubs using steroids? You know a lot of Americanized young people go through so I didn't make much of it at that time Everybody i know they go to gay clubs for awhile and then use a bunch of steroids They're very common And then take selfies! Or thought it was gay club Which by the way, Lemon should be saying. He should at least somewhere say, you know this is not we're not trying to stereotype gays but holy crap is he letting it go. It's a disgrace to the LGBT community His father according to you or someone maybe it's your current husband said that his father would make comments about his sexuality around you? Right What did he say? I remember one occasion when we were in the living room and
44:29 I wasn't really listening too much. I know him and his father were talking, but I definitely heard his father say and call him a coonie which in Farsi means gay. I don't know we learned something new Cooney so he's being abused by his father verbally and probably in other ways I didn't really pay attention to it at that time because, I don't know maybe he was joking but Omar laughed about it. Did his father or the family did they exhibit any homophobic behavior in your estimation? Now this is where Lemon screws it up because he's now no longer thinking of the company in mind of the narrative or whatever that was on the memo. Now he's like, hey wait a minute this guy hates me! He hates gays! Did they say things that were homophobic? Well they didn't have to because you know everything in their family structure is about perfection In Islam religion homosexuality is not that tolerated
45:24 And especially when somebody is a political figure as prominent as father was, it is especially. Notice how she says, As father was? This is more evidence of a very classical the Islamic family structure. Not his father, no as father that's how she has to say it. As father this is disturbing to listen too. As prominent a father was it especially really looked down upon and disgraced and could shame the entire family just knowing that one person in your family is homosexual Now this is wait a minute now we have an American Muslim
46:04 And we have his ex-wife saying that, you know this is Muslim culture. This is what it is particularly in this family and then its looked down upon if its not okay You can't talk about it I need to jump to a clip then Oh, but can I get 40 seconds left on this one? If she's got good stuff go It's always good. So it was definitely not welcome and they definitely expressed their intolerance and disagreed with that way of life We've been speaking a lot on this show about homophobia in the Muslim community What are your thoughts on that? You know, I will not lie and say there is no intolerance because there is He doubles down
