Hey, good morning, everyone. Welcome to Hot Topics at 10 a.m. Eastern time. I'm so glad that you're here. Yeah, someone in the chat said, I'm getting breaking news. I am getting breaking news for you, but I'm also, here's, remember yesterday I was like, oh my gosh, I'm in a mood. I'm kind of, you know, down, I'm not or whatever. Okay, that, you know, still, but I'm fired up this morning. Fired up, ready to go. How many of you guys know what I'm talking about? Fire up and ready to go. I am fine. Thank you very much, Dazed Muse. Dazed Muse, you got to become a member. Good morning, Mississippi Brit. Good morning. Yeah, guys, I'm fired up. Okay, yes, it is Obama, but I'm just saying, good morning, Don. You look refreshed.
Yes, Karen White, thank you. I got a little bit of sleep. I got to tell you, this is my home studio, and I have a couch back there. And I fell asleep on the couch. Well, first of all, I was invited out to dinner and then the person had to cancel because they were not feeling well. And I'm sorry that they weren't feeling well. One of my dear friends, she's dealing with some vertigo issues. But you have to look at the silver lining, right? I know it's kind of selfish, but I said, whoa, thank you. I am going to do what? I chilled. Let's make sure my camera's in the right place. I chilled and I fell asleep on the couch. My doggy came up and was right. I mean, laying right. You know, the dogs do. They go right like late, either like next to you or under you or whatever.
It was like laying right down between my legs, my thighs and had his head on my thigh and was like a fast asleep. And I was watching a little bit of YouTube and then I went fast asleep as well. And so I got, I got a little, let me fix that camera. I got a little, so I fell asleep a little bit early and then ended up having dinner late, which was not good, like almost 10 o'clock because I fell asleep early anyways. So I am refreshed. Thank you. Someone said, did you do something on TikTok? What do they say? Did you turn on the TikTok, YouTuber? Thank you, YouTube user. You got to come up with a name. You guys know me so well. I love it. Good for you, Don. I went to bed early, says Sasha D. You guys just like to talk to me, don't you?

I have a lot. to talk to you about okay hi texas rochelle rest well deserved i love it that you guys keep talking to me i love it okay hello london um ontario canada good morning don lemonheads from beautiful london ontario it's warm here warmer than it's been love you don and company thank you okay can i tell you something this is how i feel you got to keep fighting the liars You got to keep fighting. Two words. One of them is negative. The other one is not. They both start with Fs. Okay? Yes, let's talk, Don, to Sheldon Johnson. I agree. Let's talk. So one of them starts with F, and that is a fascist.
That's where we're moving into fascism. The other one is fat. But that's only if you are in denial about it and you try to lie about it, right? Like you think, like for me, during COVID, I gained a lot of weight. I was fat. And I was like, I am fat. And I looked in the mirror one day. I was like, wow, look at my butt. I'm fat. And then I saw a picture the paparazzi took of me. And it looks like, I look like that. I was fat, but I was like, OK, so I'm fluffy. I gained a little weight. No big deal. I told everybody, yeah, I gained some weight. OK, I'm going to start walking and doing more exercising. OK, do you guys know what I'm saying? Because not everybody's meant to be a stick figure and not everybody's meant to be, you know, a muscle person.
But you know what I mean? You know what I mean? So if you own your fluffiness or you say, yeah, I know what I need to lose a few pounds. OK, there's nothing wrong with that. It happens to everybody. We have busy lifestyle, you know, right, right, right. Donald Trump is not only a liar. He's a criminal. He's a con man and he is fat. And this is how you know everything that he's saying to you is bullshit because you can tell when people are not aware, when they are not self-aware, right?
