Welcome to Lemon Live at 5. Glad that you are here. This does not look like Don's studio. Well, it doesn't because this is where we are. A little orange, a little red because this is stage lighting. I'll show you. We're on the stage here at City Winery and I am doing the show from here because this is where... The Lemon Nation will be live this evening, OK?
So thanks for joining us. We have a big show planned for you. We're going to talk about these ICE raids that are happening around the country. I think people are getting used to them. The media doesn't cover them as much. But they are really getting worse. And they are getting even more inhumane, if that was even possible. And they are rounding up US citizens and people who have no criminal records. We did a show on Friday, on Thursday, and, you know, people were thanking us for continuing to bring these just horrible horrible raids and um and people being rounded up on the streets in america okay so we'll get to that in just a little bit we've got lots of news for you make sure you hit the like hit the thumbs up uh it affects the algorithm more people become aware of our conversation and our channel and that's really important for us but welcome everybody to city winery in philadelphia don's in philly and then wednesday we're in chicago
You know, one of these days I'm going to start. You know, I had my friends. I had Jen Welch on the road. She came and did a show with us. Joy Reid was a special guest. Anthony Scaramucci. I think we need to get Oliver Darcy. to become one of our folks who joined the Lemon Nation on the road. And since I mentioned Oliver Darcy, I'm going to bring him in. Oliver Darcy is a friend of mine. Hi, Oliver. He's a veteran media journalist and the author of Status Newsletter. And Oliver is going to fill us in on this Paramount Warner Brothers possible merger. Looks like it's probably going to happen. It's going to be a while, though. And to tell us why it's really important. I find it important because I find the consolidation of conservative media and so much media in the hands of so few people.
I find it really problematic for the United States. Maybe Oliver feels differently. Oliver, hello to you. Welcome. When are you coming out on the road with us? You got to let me know which city you want me in. That's it. That's it. New York is easy for you, right? You don't want to come easy. I'm right here. Wait a minute. Do you think this is – I was asking my team before I came on. Do you think this is a little too much merch? What do you think?
I was just thinking as you have that hat on, next time I do your show, I got to have some sort of either a sweater or a hat or something. You've got to.
Well, I'm wearing it for a good reason here because it is cold in Philadelphia. It's cold in New York today, but it is. It's so cold here in Philly. And so that's why I'm doing this. Yes. So, Oliver, thank you.
