Welcome to the program, everyone. We start with something that is gonna be helpful for you because support for the show today comes from ZBiotics. And listen, I only talk about products that I actually use, especially when I know the next morning matters. This one is called pre-alcohol. If you've ever had a night out where you woke up thinking, why did I do that? Well, this is for you. Here's the deal. When you drink, alcohol turns into this toxic byproduct right in your gut, and that's what makes you feel rough the next day. It's not dehydration. It's not the late night fries. It's that byproduct that I told you about. And ZBiotics, was created by real PhD scientists to break that stuff down. So you just make it your first drink of the night.
That's it. I started using it before dinner's out or when I know I've got an early show the next day. First time I tried it, a couple glasses of wine, went to bed, woke up feeling like I actually slept. No dragging myself to get coffee or anything like that. No beating myself up for going out. So enjoy the holidays. Enjoy the tailgates. just bring zbiotics with you go to zbiotics.com slash lemon and use the code lemon for 15 off of your first order they've got a money back guarantee so if you don't feel the difference you get your money back again that's zbiotics.com slash lemon the code lemon for 15 off hello good morning everyone welcome to hot topics 10 a.m eastern time right here in new york city on the east coast so welcome to the don lemon show uh
Yeah, what a weekend we have had. I guess I'll just have to start because I don't know where to start. There's so much. Have you paid attention this weekend at all? I paid attention just a little bit, not much, because you guys know on the weekends I like to sort of dial out. I think everybody needs rest. I think that everybody, you cannot work. I work 24-7 during the week. And then I work on the weekends. I'm here, I'm doing stuff. I don't know if you guys noticed, I have like a new lighting setup. So I'm doing stuff for the channel. But I think you need a little bit of a break. And behind me was supposed to be a big, beautiful Christmas tree. I don't know if you guys remember it from last year. But we didn't put it up because we just needed a break.
We did a little bit of spring cleaning in the winter. And yeah, so... Good morning. Now, here's what I need you guys to do.

Because the thumbnail, I don't know if you can put it up, Andy, but the thumbnail says MAGA is crashing out. And MAGA is crashing out. That's how, I know the kids like to say that, but MAGA is crashing out over this Epstein thing. We could have had so many faces up there. We could have had Marjorie Taylor Greene, which we did. We could have had Thomas Massey. We could have Lauren Bulbert. We could have Nancy Mace up there. We can have other Republicans. who are now, wow, South Africa's in the chat. We could have other Republicans. And by the way, welcome Twitch.
Hello, Twitch. Twitch.tv slash Don Lemon. So that's where we are on Twitch. So we can have so many Republicans there. Now, Donald Trump is changing his tune, just so you know, sort of on the Epstein-Powell's, but you have to read between the lines because he's not really changing. He's talking loud and saying nothing.
