Good morning, everybody. What day was it? Wednesday? Is that what we are on Wednesday? It's kind of sad that I'm not sure what date. It's Wednesday, March 12th, 11 days after the big day, which is my birthday. Thank you, guys, for joining us this morning. This is Hot Topics, 10 a.m. Eastern Time. We had, we kind of had a kind of a rough time trying to figure out what to bring to you because there is a lot going on but then not a lot going on like what to focus on and i just said you know what day in fresh hell is this i think it's 51 days in and uh every day i wake up and i panic and i go oh my gosh What on earth is going to happen today? Right? What is the stock market going to be like today? How much money are we going to lose today?
How much savings are we going? How high are prices going to be? What crazy shit is Donald Trump going to say? So, you know, every day is like a day in fresh hell. You guys ever heard that saying? People of a certain age know what that what in the fresh hell is going on or what day in fresh hell is this? What is it? Fifty one days in. Fifty one days in fresh hell that we're in right now. And, you know, we were I was doing fine in the last administration. I didn't have to wake up every day and go, oh, my gosh, what is happening? Is the stock market going to crash or people going to be able to afford to get eggs? Yes, I agree. Make it stop. Someone in the chat said, make it stop. Hell yeah, yes. Our country is in distress.
It is just the next day in hell, says Sheldon Johnson. so uh welcome to lemon the lemon welcome to hot topics 10 a.m um so glad i also i'm glad i got my morning call from wendy she's doing okay so um still in the hospital trying to figure out if she's going to leave today i think she is i don't know where she's going to go so that's it that's all we'll talk about today on that if she um calls me to give me more information i'll let you know but um You know, something has really been bothering me. By the way, let me know where you're from, where you are streaming from. You sound tired, Don. I'm not tired. I'm a little sleepy. And again, as I say, it is another day in fresh hell. I'm just being honest because who knows what the day is going to bring as we're going through this.
We say we can do this story. We can focus on this story. We can focus on this story. And then I say, but is this story a distraction? Like what is a distraction? Is this one a distraction? Like what is what is what? maryland high we're losing our department of education we're going to talk about that make sure we have the department of education stuff in our element so that we can discuss yes i'm glad you said that we're losing our department of education but we're also losing our freedoms and i know the right has been criticizing me you know the right the bros the the bro right they've been criticizing me for saying that we're in a dictatorship and um you know, like, oh, Donald says we're in a dictatorship or we're, you know, we're in a recession and maybe he's judging it on Biden and whatever.
And it's like, no, I'm judging it on Donald Trump. And I'm partially judging it on Biden because Chicago, as you know, or Nevada, Debbie in Nevada, as you know, we weren't waking up with this shit Juanita in South Texas with Joe Biden. This is like worse than 2016, 17, 18, 17, 18, 19, 20, when we would get a You know, a tweet every two seconds. Hi, Baton Rouge to Shonda, my hometown. When we would get a tweet every second of something that was just madness and craziness and we would just I turned I stopped when he was on Twitter. I stopped following him. I stopped getting alerts on him. Notifications. It's like it was I didn't need to know all of this stuff. But this, I think, is more egregious attacks on the First Amendment, which we're going to talk about, our freedom of speech, our freedom of expression.
The attacks on the judiciary. Even, you know, you may not like Amy Coney Barrett, but people are calling her a traitor and, you know, are threatening her. The attacks on the legislature, our legislative branches, the ignoring of federal judges, the flouting of the laws, all of that.
