Good morning, everybody. Welcome to Hot Topics. So glad that you are here this morning. It's kind of a busy day. kind of the same yet different what's happening in the news thank you so much for being here let us know where you're streaming from you can see i am at a youtube conference because our show is so amazing they want us to be here to talk about our growth and uh how to help others actually in the space in the independent media journalist working space and so um yeah we're honored to be here today how are you doing There's a lot going on in the world, including what some would call an invasion of an American city. And the city that I'm speaking of is the city of Los Angeles. Hello, Chicago.
Hello, Frisco, Texas. Welcome to the program. We had some breaking news yesterday that I want to put up to make sure that you guys get it because I've been telling you, Chicagoland, Dave B., I've been telling you that this is all a show. This is really for a strong man, for Donald Trump to look like a strong man and to put on a show because that's what he does. Remember, he is a reality television star who everyone believed was really a great businessman. But as it turns out, he was just a character in a TV show that people that they crafted for him. and he pretended and people believed it. So maybe there's something in his acting that people believe. But the Trump administration is seeking military costumes for their parade.
Did you guys know that? According to sources that we spoke to yesterday who had knowledge of this matter, Trump administration has sought to acquire approximately 2,000 historical military costumes for Saturday's parade in Washington, D.C., commemorating the Army's 250th birthday and Donald Trump's birthday and Flag Day and all of those things. Okay? Multiple individuals allege that the motion picture company, costuming companies, MPCC, a Hollywood-based firm known for supplying wardrobe to major film productions, has agreed to fulfill most of the order. Now, we are told that members of the military and or actors, those are some of the things that they have been ordering that looks like this. And so they're going to put, allegedly, according to our sources, they're going to put either actors or members of the military in these uniforms to try to fill out the crowd and to show people, I guess, the evolution of fatigues in military uniforms.
over the years. Keep scrolling. We'll give you a little bit more of our information here. As first reported on this show on YouTube yesterday evening on Lemon Live at 5, the costumes are said to represent the evolution of U.S. military fatigues from the Revolutionary War through modern-day combat gear. In addition, the administration is allegedly seeking actors to wear the uniforms and participate in the parade, further blurring the lines between commemoration and political spectacle. costumers, it shouldn't be costume designers, it should be costumers, I'm going to correct that, are said to be currently in Washington fitting some 1,500 parade marchers. MPCC declined to comment, but they did comment to the source.
They said that it was, they said it was government business. They're not denying, they said they were doing the work, it's for the government, and they're okay with it. All right? And so that is what's happening. And while this is, the backdrop of all this is what's happening in los angeles which in any stretch of anyone's imagination is quite frankly overkill and that is what the mayor of los angeles has been saying that is what the governor has been saying and if you look at these protests you'll see some of it on this weekend and even on monday There were there was there were some skirmishes, but now the folks are saying this is dying down. They don't understand why these troops are there. They believe that the governor of California has the authority.
Only the governor of California has the authority to be able to send in the National Guard and to send in members of the military. OK, and but.
