Ladies and gentlemen, today is January 14th. It is 4 p.m. This is Lemonade Stand News. Today, we are doing a hotly anticipated, unbeknownst to them, partnership with Fox News, where every single article and story today is coming directly off of the Fox News website. We are delivering the truth to you in a Lemonade Stand rebranding. Brandon, what have you been discovering as you've researched Fox News to learn about the world? Listen, on this show, we've had a problem in the past. We've been pulling from a bunch of woke lib sources. Financial Times. Sometimes even multiple sources for different perspectives. Yeah. Like this one. Financial Times. The main story today is some bull spit about IBM shares plunging.
Who cares? Go to the next one. New York Times. Something about Trump's flip-flop on the Strait of Hormuz. Boring. Boring and bias. And woke. And woke. And then on Fox News, which is where we're getting all of our sources today, everyone is required to bring stories only that they can find through Fox News. Right. The number one story in the world is that school deans give stunning answers when grilled on tense hearing on men giving birth. This is what's important. This is the big deal, okay? And if you scroll down, there's stories about how the Lord of the Rings director is going to have white people in it, which is a huge bombshell. I've been worried. I've been worried sick. New York Times won't cover it.
And then Kamala Harris is giving a speech to a WNBA team. These are the stories that I'm worried about, okay? So I did a quick exploration of the Fox website because I'll admit, I've been out of touch on this great source. I haven't explored it fully until this week, but there's a plethora of information. And I believe you found what I found, which is a goldmine. A goldmine of information. So we're exploring the website, and one thing you'll notice is the U.S. category has four subcategories. There's politics, world, opinion, media, entertainment, sports. The U.S. gets its own drop-down category, and if you click it, the options are... Blue City Crime, Campus Radicals, Border Crisis, and True Crime. Why is True Crime in there?
And there are only four categories. There is no fifth option. There is nothing else you can click. These are the four categories of all U.S. news. And I know what you're thinking. Where do I click on the website if I want to hear about maybe crime in red cities? They actually solved it this year. There is no crime in any red cities as of last year. I mean, maybe that would be under true crime, but unlikely, unlikely. I don't know. What do you put? I mean, it's funny because blue city crime and true crime are separate. Is it implying the blue city crime is fake? Is it fake crime? Okay. Okay. I just like the campus radicals is one fourth of all news, right? And then, okay, so big thing going on in the world right now is the World Cup.
We talked about it last week. I will say we probably owe a mea culpa to our audience because last week we did predict with certainty that Morocco would win the World Cup and they're already out. Another way of putting that is we would predict that France would lose, which is technically kind of correct.
