It is about that time. So, hi. I was sitting around thinking, like, the producers weren't ready. I was talking to the folks on TikTok, and they were like, Don, we're ready. Been ready for a while. I'm falling down on the job. Maybe it's because I just have one of these. Do you guys know what that is? Yeah, look, it's five o'clock somewhere. It's five o'clock now. We're glad that you are here. We are so happy to bring you an interesting perspective to tell you the stuff that you need to know, we believe, and how you should feel, what you might think about what's going on in the news. Not necessarily that it is, you know, breaking news like we're cable news. If you want that, you know, you can get that on cable, right?
If you want that, you can get that on a, like, you know, news alert thing. Okay? So thank you so much. If you're in the chat, especially if you're on TikTok, we're live on a couple of different places. Please be respectful of folks around you. And if you, like, have something to say that is... constructive right have something to say that's going to mean something that's going to help out when we talk to you we would love to have to talk to you regardless of your political persuasion your political stripes whatever it is who you voted for we would love to be able to speak with you so but we do have a bit of breaking news that we want to give you here on lemon live at five o'clock before i get All of your comments up.
We're live on the YT. Your comments are running, rolling live there. So if you come, you subscribe there, your comments will be up on the screen. OK, so thank you so much. We come now. We start streaming really with some breaking news. Members of the House Ethics Committee met behind closed doors just a few minutes ago and they voted. Here's what they voted on. They voted to keep working. on the ethics investigation into Matt Gaetz to keep working on it. They didn't vote to release it. They're not releasing it now, but to keep working on the ethics investigation into Matt Gaetz. So they're not saying they're not going to release it at all, but they may release it sometime in the future, is my dog. He's losing his mind over here.
So they may do it in the future. They did not reach an agreement on whether to publicly release the report detailing their sweeping probe. However, that determination will be made later at a meeting in December. So what they're saying, what this is signaling, is that they're opening, they're open to releasing the investigation. If I were Matt Gaetz, I would be sweating. as he and a host of Trump's other nominees are losing support and they're losing support fast. So this is from John Breshanan, Bresnahan, excuse me, new ethics committee member. held several votes, remat Gates report, released the report, which is not final yet, as is the deadlock on partisan lines. The deadlock is on partisan lines here.
Committee then voted to complete report. That was a majority, but not unanimous. There will be another meeting in December. So the point is to stand by and you may get what's in that report. Let me tell you, if there is this much consternation about releasing a report, what's in a report, what should be released, what should not, whatever. Because if there was anything that was to exonerate Matt Gaetz or to paint him in a favorable light, they would all be saying, hey, hey, let's release it so that people can see. Let's be transparent about it. Freedom of speech, right? Freedom of speech. But instead, they're trying to hide it. And the Republicans in the House are trying to cover it up. Now, I know that there are some Republicans who want it out there, and maybe they won't say it publicly.
Some of them are. But I think most of them do want it out there because they know the trouble that is Matt Gaetz, and especially those in the Senate. So that is what is happening, okay? So let's talk about some of these things. You guys know what the New York Post is, right? The New York Post is a tabloid here in New York City, and it has very tabloidy headlines, and the cover is very tabloidy.
