Don Lemon 0:16
Good evening. Good evening. Welcome to Lemon Live at 5. Happy that you're here. We're happy that you're part of our community. We're going to start with, let me show you what's happening in California because they're actually holding a press conference right now.

What is the immediate wildfire situation in Southern California and how large is the damage?

Don Lemon 0:32
It is devastating what has happened to our brothers and sisters out west. I'm holding a press conference right now, and let's show them everything that we have so that we can show them how much, Andy, we are paying attention to this. Live feeds all over Southern California where this is happening in the Los Angeles area. We're monitoring the press conference for you. The producers are monitoring. You see it's behind us. We're looking at some of the comments that are up. People are asking questions. Reporters have been asking some interesting questions all day. According to the last estimate, this is if you want to know how much land has been damaged or burned or ruined completely, how big this fire is spreading.
Don Lemon 1:14
Can you imagine the size of a football field? Can you imagine 100 football fields or 10 or 20 or 30? This is the size of 22,000 football fields. Thousands and thousands of structures destroyed. The death toll will probably rise. So this is what's happening. So we thank you for joining us here on YouTube. We thank you for joining us on TikTok. We thank you for joining us on Instagram, on Facebook, and on all of the streaming platforms where we put our podcasts. And that's Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio, and Spotify. So this is a devastation in the damage as we get close to sundown and the folks in California are going to have to deal with another night of horror. The winds were going in the right direction and now they're going to speed up.
Don Lemon 2:09
So we're going to get to that story. We'll let them finish the press conference. And you see, I believe that is the president of the United States. Federal authorities are briefing on the wildfire emergency. Before we get started, let's listen in a little bit to see what the president has to say and if we can listen to that.
Unknown 2:34
All right. And so what we're doing now is that I want to introduce that is the president, I believe, signing at least getting notes.
Don Lemon 2:42
And I'm sure he has been signing emergency declarations, et cetera. So we will monitor those and we'll get it to you. But anyway, here's a big story. I don't know if you saw the thumbnail. Let's talk about this. Washington, D.C. People paid tribute to the former president at a funeral at the National Cathedral. This is a story you can never tell which story is going to rise up to the top, okay? Never tell which story is going to become of interest. Of course, people are paying attention to what's happening in California. That is evident. But they're also paying attention to something that was happening. Some believe that it was a spectacle in Washington, D.C., Let's put up the picture that we had on our thumbnail, Nikki and Andy.
Don Lemon 3:30
We said, this isn't the one we had on our thumbnail, but this is one that Ed Krasenstein said. Sometimes I think we're all getting played. Now, let me preface this by saying, I'm not saying that folks should not be cordial. I'm not saying that folks should not be in the same room. But let me just lay this down for you. Which has some people, quite honestly, side-eyeing Barack Obama today, like WTF. Do you remember? Show me your birth certificate. The birther thing. You don't deserve to be president because I don't believe that you were born in the United States of America. Do you remember that you're a Muslim of it all? Not that there's anything wrong with being a Muslim, but intentionally trying to otherize the first black president of the United States.
Don Lemon 4:42
Seeing the former president, Barack Obama, gave me so much hope. I was happy to see him, says mtownboy4u. Yeah, yes. But I'm telling you that people are concerned. BFFs, WTF. Context does matter. Now, but think about this. The Muslim of it all. The promoting with the MAGA creeps that somehow Michelle Obama, the first lady of the United States, is a man. Blaming
