Why is Don Lemon framing a Presidents Day segment about Trump vs. Obama?
Good morning, everybody. Hi. Let me make sure. The light's on in there, right? Bright. Okay. So... Sorry. You know why I'm laughing. Hi, everybody. You know for a sort of business. Like and thumbs up. Like and thumbs up. Producers, put it in the top of the chat. It's really important. Sorry we're a little bit late because I added stuff. I kept asking them for stuff at the last minute. But Andy, put up that thumbnail. I had not seen the thumbnail, Nikki, because I was like running around putting lights back up that I had taken with me to go and do the thing that I never. Nikki, nice job on the thumbnail. And I mean, come on. Happy President's Day. Oh, my gosh. Amazing. Amazing. I can just look at that. It's cheered me up.
It's a Monday. I didn't even realize it was President's Day. It's a Monday. And I was like, oh, here's Monday. And then I looked around and Tim said, you know, it's President's Day. I didn't realize it. Everything is closed today. So you guys are sitting at home. And so I decided to go with this. Today, we decided, I should say, to go with this. Happy President's Day. Big breaking news. Happy President's Day. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Nikki, you're getting lots of love for this one. This is great, great, great. Okay. Let me tell you why, because you guys know, don't you know that Barack Obama lives rent free in Donald Trump's head. And I live rent free in his head. Look, I should probably pay too much rent now.
I should just go live inside. No, I don't wanna live in, my God, can you imagine? And in the heads of the folks who work for the Trump administration. Hi, everybody. Hi, Trump people. Hi, Trump cabinet members. DOJ, everybody. How are you guys doing this morning? Smile, and you will never see me not smiling. So anyways, I'm so happy. Bravo, Nikki. Hello, everybody. You guys know I had a, wouldn't they say, hell of a week? I've had a hell of a two weeks, but you know what? I'm no worse for the wear right now. You know what they say? Never let them see you sweat and keep on moving on. Keep calm and carry on. My mom raised a classy person. So here we are. Okay, so you guys know why this, because I woke up and I think it's President's Day, and everything I looked through in the thumbnails, I saw no, none, zero Trump love there.
And I kept scrolling, looking for it. I'm like, wow, there's nothing. Man, look, it could be me. I don't know. Mickey is a national treasure. It could be. Hit that thumbs up. Come on, guys. Hit the like. Hit the thumbs up. It affects the algorithm. More people become aware of our channel and our conversation that we're having here. No coffee. If you get the Don Lemon mug, look at that. You don't have to do coffee. I'm doing OJ today. Usually I do some tea. I'm doing a little OJ today. By the way, OJ today. I know this is going off a little weird. But when I first started in news or my early days in news, the OJ Simpson thing happened. I remember just took over the news cycle. So we started a show in New York at the Fox station that I work with.
WMYW, Channel 5, Fox 5 New York. And it was called OJ Today. And it was all day during the whole OJ thing, every single day. Hello, everybody. Welcome to OJ Today. So I said OJ Today. I'm drinking OJ Today and it reminded me of that. But anyways, and that's what I was a producer on that show, writer on that show. And that's sort of that's how I honed my skills in news is by working. You know, that was one of the big stories that I worked on. So anyways, I didn't see. Did you guys tell me? Did you see any Trump love? I did not. Maybe it's just my algorithm. I don't know. I have no idea. But this is the, you guys remember, first of all, I want you to show, Andy, if you can just show me the Donald Trump when he went to the football game.
And then we're going to show. So this is Donald Trump. Donald Trump goes to the football game. Now I want you guys to take a good listen to this. Listen.
I have seen your name. You said
That's a lot of booze. And just in case you didn't think that was like, oh, no, no, no, no, no. Those are booze. Don't let them gaslight you.
