Hold on, and we're going to talk. So good evening, everyone. Welcome to Lemon Live at 5. We're so glad that you're here. A lot to talk about. MAGA World once again in disarray. We just got word just within the last hour that half of, you know, the black Nazi Mark Robinson down in North Carolina, half of his current staff in the lieutenant governor's office has resigned, but no major Republican. has yet called on him to resign. What is that all about? Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris is going to sit down for a primetime interview on MSNBC with Stephanie Ruhle. I'm sure that is going to make headlines. We're going to chat about that. We're also looking for the clips to come out on that, right, to see if they did.
I'm sure they're interviewing now. It's going to run on MSNBC 8 p.m. tonight on Chris Hayes' show. But it's going to be Stephanie Ruhle doing it. And President Joe Biden himself met the press today. sitting for a fascinating interview with the ladies of The View. We have so much to discuss. Who better to do that than someone who is actually in the room at the table for that interview with the president? That's Sunny Hostin, author, lawyer, co-host of The View, and a friend of Don Lemon's.
Hi. Hello, Don.
You're on CP time. What's up with that?
I have a disclaimer. I did not know that this was live. And I should have known because I've been watching you and I know it's like Don live and I know the lemon heads and everything. But I somehow thought that maybe like it was like 520 or 515. And the U.N. is in town and the president has been in town. So getting around town is very difficult. difficult and i had to look cute so i wanted to go to my apartment and change and it took me longer to get here and so it's not cp time it's just like trying to be cute time you look really great thank you i was trying to be cute for your lemon heads and for you you you've never looked better can i get some like love yes lemon heads come on come on hit sunny up thank you hard
I think Sonny is why he's late. Yes, it is. But we do have to say, Sonny's late mostly because the UN is here. The UN is here. Traffic is ridiculous.
It's horrible in New York.
It's really, really horrible. Hi, Sonny. See, look, this is live. These are the folks on YouTube. You see them?
No, but a lot of the streets are blocked off, which is very unusual in the city.
She's looking at your comments, okay? So hello, Sunny. Team Sunny, looking adorable. You look wonderful.
Thank you.
You both look great. You see that?
It's a lot of Sunny love. I feel better because I was rushing in and I felt sick.
Yeah.
But I feel better now. Okay.
Thank you, Sunny. I love you. I'm just having fun with you.
Yes.
So listen, as he approaches the lame duck era of his first and only term, President Joe Biden is showing signs that he is less constrained by the scrutiny of a campaign. Today, that meant he took a little time to enjoy the view.
He did.
He seemed lighter than he's appeared in the past, although he did speak honestly with some emotion about his journey to step aside and to pass the baton to Vice President Harris. Watch this.
What have these past two months felt like, and are you at peace with your decision?
Well, I am at peace with my decision. Look, when I ran for the first of this last term, I said that I saw myself as a transition president, transitioning to a new generation of leadership. I know I only look 40, but I'm 180 years old. I've been around forever. But what happened was, having so much success in getting things done that people thought we couldn't get done, I found myself having used more time than I would have ordinarily to pass that torch. But working with Kamala, she is bright, she is tough, she's honorable, and the thing I like about her And one thing we share in common is that we have an optimistic view of the future here. There's nothing we can't do. There really isn't. Anyway, but that's what happened.
And so finally, I decided that it was better. And I meant what I said. It was the greatest honor in the world sitting behind the Resolute Desk as President of the United States.
