Put Gus away, please.
Good morning, Lemonheads. Good morning, Lemon Nation. So glad that you're here. Welcome, welcome, welcome to Hot Topics. 10 a.m. ish, Eastern Time, every morning.
Mmm.
The tea is good. This is good. Thanks, Tim. Very good. Lemony, honey. How are you doing this morning? The madness ensues. Look, guys, I don't even have my lights on. We didn't do my LGBT... You thing this morning. How are you guys doing this morning? We have a lot to discuss. We have when I say the tea is hot and warm and good. Well, the tea is hot, warm and good because we're going to be talking about something that is going to cheer you up, so to speak. I mean, we're in a state of chaos, obviously, in the world and the country right now. But it's going to cheer you up because MAGA. is turning on itself. They are turning on each other, which is both good and bad, because sometimes I don't know where we are.
And so, anyway, happy Juneteenth, everybody. It's June 19th. Can we just put up the Juneteenth article real quick, and then we'll get to the other side. But this is June 19th, Juneteenth, and it's when... The slaves were officially freed or supposed to be. But then, you know, that's when it was supposed to be before. But then that's when the general arrived in Galveston, Texas, to say, hey, slaves are free. And so we celebrate it today. Let's go in the article and just show people. So just in case you have questions. You don't know. This is June on June 19th, 1865. Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, with news that the Civil War was over and that all the remaining enslaved people in Texas were free.
An event now celebrated nationwide as Juneteenth. And so that's what we celebrate today. We're going to get a report to you a little bit later on. OK, so what's the tea, Don? Someone says on this Juneteenth. I hope you're at home and you're enjoying it. You have a day off. Congratulations to you. I'm glad that you do, but what are you doing to celebrate? What are you doing to mark the anniversary of this very, very important day? What are you doing? You should be doing something. So anyway, please hit the likes, hit the thumbs up. Make sure you smash the hearts. If you're watching us on TikTok, by the way, let me just flip. There we go. Mirror the TikTok camera. Make sure you hit the hearts and you hit that thumbs up.
It does affect the algorithm and more people become aware of our conversation. Great engagement this morning. My goodness, already you guys are in here.
