How did Don Lemon describe his experience and impressions arriving back from Super Bowl LIX?
Good morning. Welcome to Hot Topics. Just so you know, you know I'm always very transparent with you guys. I am not feeling well today. You can hear I have a scratchy voice. I have an allergic reaction. Check it out. Don't know what happened. My eyes are swollen. It happened well before the Super Bowl, but it happened while I was in New Orleans at the Super Bowl. So I don't know if it's shellfish, which I kind of was allergic to when I was a kid and then I got over it. Or if it's something, I don't know, could be something I put on my face. Who knows? But anyways. Just wanted to let you guys know that. Oh, and by the way, I was worried because I thought maybe I had COVID. I just took the test. And I do not.
So thank goodness. I mean, I just took it literally before I came on. So good morning, everyone. Where are you streaming from? Hi, Candy Rose. Good morning, Britt Wilson. Thank you. Thank you. I really don't feel well. I've got my lemon tea this morning. So a little lemon, a little honey. So thank you so much. Angela Porter says, please break it down for me, Don Lemon. I'm going to break. We're going to break it down. We are going to break it down, Lemon Nation. By the way, I was very heartened. Walking through the airport, out on the streets, in restaurants, in the bars, people coming up saying, hey, I'm a Lemonhead. Hi, I'm part of the Lemon Nation. I went over to RG3, his entire family. His aunt was like, I'm a Lemonhead.
I came just to see you. So amazing.
Amazing.

If it's not, let's get in there. I'm not on that page, so I can't see if it's pinned at the top of the chat because I'm looking at the myself live and not the live YouTube. So thank you all for watching. Did you all... And by the way, just shoot me what you think. What you thought of the halftime show? What you thought of the Super Bowl? We're going to have a good time. You know, because Donald Trump went down there, right?
Yeah.
You guys know when I start laughing like that, I'm going to get myself in trouble, right? He took his ass down there and he thought like, oh, these Kansas City Chiefs are going to win. The MAGA team is going to win. And they lost. They lost. And look, I really did not have a dog in the hunt. I could care. I couldn't care less, as they say. By the way, it's I couldn't care less, not I could care less. I couldn't care less who won, except for... This whole thing that he is making, right, Lemon Nation, rise up to Shirley. You may be a Kansas City Chiefs fan, and that's okay. That's great. I'm not against Kansas City Chiefs at all. The reason I won, I said before, give someone else a chance. Also, Jalen Hurts is such a great guy, right?
And look, and I love all the players on the Eagles. They were just, just, just, just amazing. Okay, so... Donald Trump went down there, the only sitting president to go down to the Super Bowl, and he thought his team was going to win and he was going to get a great reception. He's talking about Taylor Swift and she got booed. We're going to show you all of that stuff. I forgot to put my TikTok cam up. I don't have them up, so we'll get that up later. I'm a little bit out of it today. So he thought they were going to win. So glad the MAGA-coded Chiefs lost to the Eagles. You had last to the Eagles, but they were last to the Eagles, and they lost, says Rocio. I'm sure if you're a Chiefs fan and you're in here and you're part of the elimination, don't get mad.
We still love you. I'm not talking stuff about your team. This is mostly about Donald Trump. And a little bit about your team. Brittany Mahomes, not a fan. And I'm not a fan, honestly, the way Patrick Mahomes actually played this all out, too. Not a fan at all. I can't believe that he, you know, oh, it's an honor. Everybody says it's an honor. You don't have to say that. Actually, you know who I thought answered it right before I get into all of this? Do we have the one, Andy, I think I sent it to you, where Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes are answering the question about who do you think, what do you think of the president?
