What is the Sour Lemon special and who are the nominees this week?
Welcome, welcome, everybody, to Lemon Live at 5. There you see, I'm going to introduce that man in a moment. See that ugly face there? That's how we roll here. My brown skin has joined me. We've been talking before. That's a little joke. We'll go there in a minute. But hello, my friends. Welcome to Lemon Live at 5. This is our Sour Lemon of the Week special, our Sour Lemon of the Week. It's episode 2. When the news is as bleak as it was this week, you can either laugh or you can cry. So here are the Don Lemon Show. We choose to laugh, okay? So joining me tonight, we can mock all the dumbest, meanest things to come out of the MAGA world this week. Mr. Ty Jones. Ty Jones is an actor. He's an NAACP award winner.
He's a Broadway veteran. And I am told by last week's Sour Lemon co-host, Godfrey, that he is a very funny man. Oh, boy. Some people say I'm funny looking, but I'll take it. Well, I said that in the beginning because I heard it. All right. Just so you know, you speak English very well. I understood you. Everyone is saying in the chat. I don't know. You can see the chat on the screen. They're saying hello to you. Hi to you. Hi, Ty.
Everybody. All right.
Oh, there it is. What's up? Yeah. And look, they might insult you. Yeah. So yes. They might insult you, so get ready.
All right?
Come on. So listen, we have to say, Donald Trump was disqualified because he won last week. He's not in contention because he would probably win almost every single week. OK, so before we get to our sour lemon time, this is we are going to go with our zesty lemon of the week that is breaking. It just came in. Apparently, these governors were at the White House today. And Donald Trump tried to strong on the governor of Maine, Maine's governor, Janet Mills, into complying with something that about transgender athletes or whatever. And he said that, you know, she hasn't signed whatever piece of paper that he wants her to sign. And she said, I'm going to comply with state and federal law. Now, you have to listen very closely because this is interesting.
She finally a politician with some backbone and she. Governor Janet Mills of Maine gets our Zesty Lemon of the Week award. Watch closely.
The NCAA has complied immediately, by the way. That's good. But I understand Maine. Is Maine here, the governor of Maine? Are you not going to comply with it? Well, we are the federal law. Well, you better do it. You better do it because you're not going to get any federal funding at all if you don't. And by the way, your population, even though it's somewhat liberal, although I did very well there, your population doesn't want men playing in women's sports. So you better comply because otherwise you're not getting any federal funding. Every state. Good. I'll see you in court. I look forward to that. That should be a really easy one.
and enjoy your life after governor because i don't think you'll be in elected politics every step the ncaa he's entertaining she went into his house and said you know what i i will apply with law with the law i said what i said is what she said yep I think it's great. I think it's great. I mean, look, at the end of the day, sometimes you got to punch the bully in the mouth. That's what you got to do. So I know there's a lot of my friends are like, oh, you can't, you know, violence against violence. Now, now I have three kids. You come up and you threaten my kids. You will get hurt. That's all there is to it. I'm not saying I got to start it, but I'll finish it. That's I mean, so I think it's great when somebody is like, OK, I'll see you in court.
And he doesn't like that. He doesn't like that. That's the way I actually think to get to him is to stand up. It is. You know what? I think that he is calculated wrong. He made the wrong calculation when he said that he was a king. Because I went out and talked to people today and even some Donald Trump supporters. And Ty, they said, I like Donald Trump. Yep. This whole King shit, I'm not with it. We don't live in a monarchy. They don't like that. No. And especially if you, I'm assuming you did this in New York, right?
