OK, it says I'm live. Hello. Happy Saturday. This is my producer free show that I do sometimes because I want them to have the day off and make sure. Hey, guys. So I hope you can see me. My sweatshirt says racism will not prevail. So thank you for sending it to me. I have to get the person who sent this to me. The folks who sent this to me. So we're on live and we're going to talk about what's going on in the world, especially what's happening as it relates to, as the thumbnail says, two more days until we have another Trump presidency, until we're in another Trump era. Are you guys ready for that? Two more days. So make sure you hit the thumbs up because it affects the algorithm and you know how whatever more people will get to see our content.
OK, so here's the thing I want to talk to you guys about. I'm going to update you on TikTok. I'm going to talk about the inauguration, not in the ways that you probably think that folks are going to talk about it. And then I have some other updates for you as well. OK, someone says this is scary. No, no, I'm not ready for it. OK, joining me now is my friend. I'm going to bring my friend on because this is how we talk all the time, especially like on a Saturday when we hang out. We talk by phone, sometimes FaceTime.
What is Lemon LIVE at 5 saying about 'two more days' until a Trump presidency?
My friend Jay is on the phone on the line. Jay, can you hear me? I can hear you. I hope the folks can hear you. Let me know in the chat if you can hear Jay. And we're going to talk about some of this stuff. Okay. I have to figure out all this stuff. Let's make sure that I can do it. Oh, share my screen. Great. Okay. Great, great, great, great, great. OK, so here's the thing. Back in the day, you guys can hear Jay. Great. Back in the day, once upon a time, there was this rapper named Snoop Dogg. OK, and there was a rapper named what's his name? Nelly. Who else, Jay? Rick Ross, Soulja Boy. OK, so I'm going to put this up and I'm going to share the screen with you. So you guys see this on the. Let me know if you can see him.
So Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross, Nelly, Soulja Boy all came out to perform for Trump's inaugural ball last night. Do you guys see that up on the screen? OK. All came out last night to perform. And AKA Stacey says, Nelly, Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross, Soulja Boy all performing at Trump's inaugural celebration on MLK Day. OK. Ooh. The guys in the chat are not liking this. How do you feel about it, Jay? Well, you know, it's funny that you asked me that because I'm of a few minds about it. I mean, weird is one way you could say about it. But, you know, Snoop's been hanging out with Martha Stewart for a long time.
So...
So who actually probably doesn't like Trump? But he is not us. And I think that that is something that people need to remember as they see these people performing. You say he not like us? Well, I don't. I'll tell you this. My taxes ain't going to get cut next year. And I think that's very important for people to remember that this man gets invited to the same corporate events to perform for the billionaires and the people that are present this weekend in Washington, D.C. So you're saying what? not like us i don't think that jay and it's me you don't have to talk differently because we're live on youtube i just don't think those people represent what what what we would like for them to represent even though hip-hop especially is an art form that was supposed to be for the people and by the people i mean these people are now breathing rarefied air these people are now
in the same rooms as these people. And these people really think that they have access to power. I think there's still this misconception that because a popular vote was won, that this person's popular. More people still voted against if you add up the votes that you know, with Donald Trump, and he really didn't gain votes. Yeah. More people, the vote was split, and more people just stayed home. It was apathy. So I don't know what that really says about the electorate, but I think the existential dread that people are feeling from this is because there's still more people who don't like it than do.
