Hello, everyone. Welcome to Lemon Light of Five, the Don Lemon Show. So glad that you are here. How's it going? How's life, people? What's happening in your world? How have you been since 10 a.m.? You know what, man? These lives, I don't know if you guys, I have been live all day on the YouTube. I've been live all day on the, what do you call it? The sub stack. I had been working. I walked my dogs. I had some meetings. I, yeah. It's a lot of work, but I'm happy to be here doing it for you. How are you guys doing? Where are you streaming from? Late again, says Jason Wilborn. Jason, it's 510. We're not that late. Come on. Cut a brother a break, Jason. Hi, everyone. I told you we were working. Life is exhausting, but good.
I agree. Sorry, I'm trying to get a thing to plug in my phone. Yeah, life is exhausting, but good. A little more informal in the beginning here, because I just want to talk to the fam a little bit. I'm so glad that you are with us today. Thank you so much. What did someone say? Something about being drunk? Yeah, I see that. Not about me, but about something that we have up there. And that is our thumbnail today, which we will get to. Just Living says, August to winter. Hi, August. How are you? Hello from Maui. rudy huber is in maui don virginia says dawn um louisville kentucky says k100s thank you hi don from new york says starzin so glad that you're here maureen i loved your interview with olivia on substack thank you maureen i saw you in the chat that was a great conversation olivia troy is fantastic i did a live with her on um
on Substack today. So here's the thing. People are asking me, why are you on Substack? Whatever Substack I'm doing writing, I've been writing this thing on Pete Hegseth since yesterday. I still have not finished because I want it to be perfect because there's a sort of a parallel in it for me that I'm comparing a couple of people I told you guys that this morning, but I've been so busy I can't finish writing it. So you'll get writing from me on Substack, but also you get impromptu lives and not just like quick sort of TikTok things or social media things, but you will get lives on there with me. Like I did 30... 30 minutes, 35 minutes with Ryan Lizard, who started his own thing, who worked for Politico.
I did 30 minutes with Olivia Troy. I did 30 minutes with Michael Cohen. So great stuff. I just go on and I only want to do like 15 minutes and then we end up talking. But this is the big show. So welcome to the big show. OK, so like and subscribe. Remember, if you hit the thumbs up and you hit that like button, it does affect the algorithm.

And again, make sure you hit that thumbs up because if you guys don't start doing it, you don't start subscribing again like you used to then guess what I'm going to do? I'm going to put that scroll back up on the bottom of the screen that I know all of you really hate. You don't like the scroll, but I'm going to have to put it back up there. Okay, so welcome. I've been talking to you guys about this for a couple days now, but really after, especially after Signalgate 2 happened, which was over the weekend. When will the next shoe drop? I think that is a question everyone is asking about Pete Hegseth. The former staffers are alleging that his scandals are swirling around the defense secretary aren't going anywhere and they are getting worse.
The scandals aren't going anywhere as far as he is. That may be a different story. The other thing is, is a lot of people, if you look online, there is a discussion and people have been asking, I look, I don't know if it's real or not. I'm just telling you, it's a discussion.
