So I'm wearing my Christmas Eve, Eve sweater. So glad that you're here. Where are you streaming from? Where are you tuning in from? And who are you hanging with today, this evening? What are you doing? I am making right now, I'm going to give you the news as we're having a cocktail. So if you're joining us on the TikTok, make sure you smash the hearts.

Okay, so I'm glad that you guys are joining. Let's see, Maureen. Yeah, you're really low. We'll figure it out. Anyway, we'll get to the show and we'll get you guys on.

You get to ask questions. And so, you know, become a Lemon Legend. Check it out. See what it's like, okay? So here's the thing. I come to you with a simple question, okay? And it is because, as you know, we talked about this, and it escalated over the weekend.
And the people used to call him the former guy. Now the president-elect responded. And that is, who is a true president-elect? Is it Donald Trump or is it Elon Musk? Now we know who it is. So when you ask that question, you know I know who it is. I'm not silly. But I'm just saying that Democratic lawmakers have been asking this question. It is not me. It is Democratic lawmakers. So it's legit. So much so that the current president elect had to respond, felt it necessary to respond this weekend as he was speaking at a Republican event. I'm asking because like Republicans on Capitol Hill, they don't quite know the answer. Even some Republicans are saying they don't know. Right. There are a couple of well, I'm not saying they don't know, but they're saying, you know, likening him to a prime minister or whatever.
We discuss that tonight. Maybe we'll get to the Matt Gates report, but I feel like we have exhausted that. Let me know if you guys want to talk about the Matt Gates report. We will do that as well. I'm also too excited. As I said, we have some new perks for our those who are members of Lemon Legends. You saw the two folks up there. Okay, so just going to play, just go through it, produce it. Let's go through some Democrats in Washington who have been positing this. And these are not, this is just a few examples. There have been tons of them saying this, and I don't think that they're going to stop saying it.
