We start with something helpful for you because it has been helpful for me. So support for the Don Lemon Show today comes from Z-Biotics. Let me tell you about this stuff. It has saved me after more than a few late nights. Z-Biotics is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. It is designed to tackle rough mornings after drinking. Now, here's how this stuff works. When you drink, your body produces a toxic byproduct in your gut, and that's what makes you feel awful the next day. It's not dehydration. Z-biotics creates an enzyme that breaks that down before it builds up. Now, I first tried it before dinner party. I told you a drink, first glass of wine, you know, maybe some tequila, whatever.
The next morning, I was up early, sharp, ready to go, ready to do the show. And now with football season here, I don't tailgate without it. Whether you're celebrating a big win or just catching the game at home, make Z Biotics your first drink of the night. So head over to zbiotics.com slash lemon and use the code lemon for 15% off of your first order. And they've got a 100% money back guarantee. So there's zero risk. That's zbiotics.com slash lemon. Let's go. Let's go. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to Hot Topics on this beautiful Monday morning. How was your weekend? How was your No Kings protest? What did you do? A lot of you are sending us photographs. We're going to show you those in just a second.
But, well, tea is good. I hope you have tea or coffee. And I hope you had a good weekend. Seriously. I had... A fantastic weekend. The show was extremely successful. The protests were extremely successful all over the country. You guys tuned in to our coverage. I'm so happy that you did. I want to talk to you about some of it and talk to you because we have the thumbnail. Stand by. There we go. We have the thumbnail of Donald Trump completely just basically shitting on America. I mean, he... That's what he did. And we're going to show you the proof. And he did it to the protesters who were out on the No Kings March and specifically using the image of this young influencer, Harry Sisson. I don't know if you guys know him.
You should. He's very popular. Harry's going to join us in just moments to talk about this. I want to get his take on it because I thought it was outrageous. I think it's outrageous that the president of the United States can behave this way. So let's you guys sent some of the pictures. I just want to show start up on a positive note. Let's show some of the Lemonheads, just the folks who are out and about this weekend. And you guys were showing us through your photographs. We asked just you can just roll them. So just protest all around the country. in many cities, states, and municipalities. We got hundreds, we got at least 150, I should say, of these photographs from our email here at the Don Lemon Show.
And it's thedonlemonshowatgmail.com if you want to send us images of this or if you're wearing your merch or whatever. Never forget your oath. And so it's just veterans and just average, normal Americans. And I believe that this is a shift. I choose to not believe. I know that this is positive. And I know that the Trump administration is freaking out about this. No kings, no kings, no kings. Just images from all over the country. Thank you for sending them in. I'm going to get as many on as possible. But we see you and we respect you. We don't want to insult you with things that you don't need to see or hear. And you also send video as well. And every single day, you know, insulting your intelligence by pretending that
That's what is happening in the world is normal. That what the Trump administration is doing is normal. So I want you to sit back with me this morning and I want you to go through, I want to go through the news with you because look, these are perilous times. I'm not going to lie. No thrones, no crowns, no kings. All right, beautiful ladies. These are perilous times, and you have to treat it with the urgency and with sobriety, meaning sober in the sense of just being aware.
