Don Lemon 0:15
Good morning, everyone. Welcome to Hot Topics, 10 a.m. Eastern Time, 7 a.m. where I am on the West Coast. And yet and still, there are people in the chat who are saying, wake up, Don. I guess you guys know that I am out of town and on business here. And I'll tell you in a little bit what I'm going to do. But thank you for joining us. Let me know where you're streaming from. So glad that you're here. Did you watch that shit show last night? And maybe you didn't, and I'm not going to burden you too much with what it was, what happened, but there are some things that you need to know this morning. So I'm so glad that you're here. Before I get into anything, I have to tell you, as you know, how important it is for you to hit the thumbs up, for you to like, for you to subscribe, and to...

Yeah, 7 a.m. Peoria, Illinois. Guys, I'm so proud of what we're doing. We had a massive, massive audience last night. I think to rival any channel. And I got great notes from our panelists who said, I'm so glad that you're here.
Don Lemon 1:55
I can read your notes and the comments from the Lemonheads on with us as we are talking. And you have built something really special, a community where people can come and be themselves.

What happened in Trump's joint address to Congress and why call it a 'shit show'?

Don Lemon 2:05
And you know, that makes me really happy. And thank you. Look at you guys already supporting us this morning. So thank you. You can become a member. The membership link will post it at the top of the chat. I hope it's there. But if it's not, we'll bring it up there shortly. So make sure you hit the thumbs up, hit the like. If you're following us on TikTok, same thing. Watching us, make sure you hit the hearts. Instagram, we're live as well. And also on Facebook. So again, thank you so much. So where do we start? By the way, I'm in Los Angeles. I did the not to run the comb through your hair thing. I just did this out of the shower. So some of you will recognize it. Some of you will say curly. Others will say nappy.
Don Lemon 2:44
I don't care. But this is my hair, and I'm trying to let it grow out. If you've noticed, I'm letting my hair grow. And now I'm going to stop cutting it so much because I had to do that when I was on... mainstream television, because you know you have to have a certain kind of thing. I'm just going to let it grow now and see what happens. Since I was a little kid, I want to see. I haven't had my hair long because I've been working since I was 15 years old. And you have to be respectful, respectable. So now I can just let it go. So I just want to put up real quick, Andy, can we put up the market? Because there were huge, huge, huge losses yesterday. They're trying to fight back, but it's up 170, not nearly enough.
Don Lemon 3:21
We've lost six months of gains. And so this little bit is not making up. And certainly I don't believe what the president did, what Donald Trump did last night is going to make that much of a difference. I think it's in the long term as I think it's we're going to be in a world of hurt. Because I don't think he knows what he's doing. And they've been saying, you know, you got to go through the pain. You got to go through the pain. So let me just show you. I'll show you the moment that really got me last night. It kind of encapsulates what we do, what the Democrats do, what happens moving forward. Okay. This was, I think, the moment that stood out to me the most last night. And it is Congressman Al Green from Texas in defiance of

and getting kicked out as a matter of fact. Roll it.

Members are directed to uphold and maintain decorum in the house and to cease any further disruptions. That's your warning.
