Don't think that I am not reading these comments before the show starts, Snake Farm. And you know who you are and you know what you said. Snake Farm says, Don needs a new timepiece. I see others saying, come on, Don. We're trying. It's just that before we want to give you the freshest, newest content. Because we are live. This show is live. So it's happening in real time. It's not tape. It's not edited. It's not put together. Don is late. Wanda53 says, I see you guys. Because we're trying to put it all together, and we're trying to give you the best show, okay? Also, you know, again, I see you in the chat, and I want to respond, but I am doing my thing with the producers, and we're talking. We're going to try to come up with a show producer prep cam, maybe.
But we don't want to be able to give things away. Hey, wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait one damn minute. He's on CP time, Keisha Ward says. Keisha Ward says I'm on CP time. I am. What are you drinking? It's lemonade. Okay. It's homemade lemonade. Sparkling water, lemon juice, and a little Splenda. Don't get upset. I usually do honey, but I didn't have any. I'm out of honey because I've been using it for having the flu. Okay, so hello, everybody. Welcome to Lemon Live at 5, the Don Lemon Show. I'm so glad that you could be here. And where's the merch, Don? I know, Kimberly Lewis, I talked last night with the guys who are doing it, and there was a hiccup with the person who's going to do the merch. Somehow, we don't know where they are.
Luckily, we have not given them any money or made any commitments with them. And so we are working on that. But I'm so glad that you're here. Look, I got to talk to you about this is a very this is a different show. OK, that I'm going to do today. And I'm going to introduce someone to you guys. Some of you know, let me know in the chat. Do you know who Andrew Tate is and Tristan Tate? Because I did not know who they were until I went on a conservative podcast and they brought him up. And someone said, hey, what do you think of Tate? And I'm like, what Tate? What are you talking about? Who's Tate? And we're like a one-name, first-name basis. I didn't know. So then... It's so weird. And then all of a sudden I get home.
He pops up on the algorithm on the YouTube. And then he's on Piers Morgan. And I'm like, oh, my God. So I start watching these things. And then, you know, I work with some folks who did a doc here. Nikki, producer Nikki, did a doc when she was at Vice. And so, yeah. So let me know what you think and if you know of them. And I'm going to introduce you to them. And I'm going to tell you why it's important. Because remember when Mexico – sends their people, they aren't sending their best. And I'm paraphrasing here. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crimes. They're you-know-what pists. And then all of a sudden, it appears now that he is protecting and coddling and trying to free people who are accused of the very same thing.
Accused. Accused. of the very same thing. So what was that line that he launched his political career with in 2016? Do you remember when Mexico sends its people? They're not sending their best. They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're you-know-what-ists, and some, I assume, are good people. That's how he launched his presidential bid, with a conspiracy that Democrats were allowing sex criminals into America. And then over the course of the next few years, he flirted with the QAnon movement. Remember? Anywhere he could get votes, he didn't care if it was truthful or not, if it was racist or not, if it was a part of the Klan, he did not care. If it was part of the Yahtzees, he did not care.
Didn't care. Wherever. And then when people would ask him about it, remember he was asked about David Duke in an interview, and he goes, David Duke, I don't know anything. I don't even know the man. I don't know. It's the same shit that he did with Project 2025. Project what? I don't know this. Who is this Project 2025? I have nothing to do with it. Lies on top. Lies, lies, and more lies.
