Good morning, Lemonheads. How are you? How are you? Welcome, welcome, welcome. Thank you for being here. I'm so happy that you're here. I am. I had to. I'm out of town. So I had to go out of town on a bit of an emergency. I'll tell you later what's going on. We'll figure it out. But anyways, welcome. And as you know, as you always call it, Murphy's Law pulled out a shirt this morning and Right out of the dry cleaning bag. And guess what? Spill coffee or something all over it. Coffee or something. Anyway, so I had to change real quick. So I'm a little bit late, but I'm glad you're here. Thank you. Good morning. 700K incoming. Yes. Who said that? Ghosty. Amen. Where are you streaming from? How are you guys doing? Oh, boy.
Anyways, yes. Good morning from Tampa, Dawn. Hi from Miami. Hi, everyone. So, yeah. Anyways, I got a lot going on. I'll explain to you later. But anyway, it's a lot. And I'll explain to you. But I just wanted to say hello and just tell you guys to say prayers and... Um, yeah, for me and my family and that's it. So thank you. All right. Uh, hi from Texas on the TikTok. Remember if you're on, make sure you hit the thumbs up, make sure you hit the like, um, and you subscribe to keep our, the independent folks working. And we will tell you why I can explain to you why in just moments of this show, because you guys know, wow, Norway, Elizabeth on TikTok. Hello from Norway. Um, You guys know that we have problems in this country, and you guys know that we need independent journalists, especially when you consider what's going on in the world, especially when you consider what's happening with corporate media.
I have several examples. I like receipts. I like to show you what's up, okay? And my question is, as we start this hot topic show this morning, 10 a.m. Eastern, 9 a.m. where I am, central in Louisiana, As we continue this, I want to show you some receipts and what's going on. I have to ask you a question. Do we live in the United States of America or is this North Korea? I'm not just, do we live in the United States of America or is this North Korea? I'm not even half kidding because I wanted to know if you caught that White House cabinet meeting yesterday. And this is what the young folks call, you guys have heard of a glaze fest, right? I love that you guys are so interactive this morning. We really don't know if we live in North Korea.
You know what a glaze fest is? The young folks call it a glaze fest or a glaze-a-palooza. I don't know if you saw that White House cabinet meeting. It was embarrassing. Trump is tanking the economy. He's destroying America's small business sector. He is sending innocent people to gulags, what folks are calling a concentration camp in El Salvador. And yet, if you just paid attention to that cabinet meeting, it seems like everything is great. No reason to be concerned. Everything is wonderful. As a matter of fact, he's telling you, look, Americans, I'm going to get what I want, even though it's not good for us. And you're just going to have to deal with less, less money, fewer toys, gifts, things for your kids.
It's really unbelievable. I don't think that these people actually hear themselves sometimes. Now, I want you to sit back. I have a coffee because it's a little bit earlier where I am. I don't know what you have and what you're doing. I don't know. But I really want you to sit back and look at this creepy cabinet meeting, as someone said. It is creepy. It's scary. And it's embarrassing for the country. All right? Are you guys ready for this? This is the start of my lesson plan today that I have prepared for you. So everyone pay attention. Here it is.
He's actually doing the things that he promised that he would do. And Mr. President, it's been an honor to be part of it for the past 100 days. Mr. President, the last four years, the world experienced a total lack of zero leadership under Biden. And then we've had 100 days of your leadership with respect, with strength.
President, your first 100 days has far exceeded that of any other presidency in this country ever, ever.
