Welcome to the program, everyone. Support for the show comes from ZBiotics. Let me tell you about something that I actually use before a night out. It is called ZBiotics pre-alcohol. Look, I like to enjoy a drink, dinner, friends, a glass of wine, maybe a cocktail, but I don't enjoy the next morning when my body is like, sir, what were you thinking? What were you doing? Here's the deal. When you drink, alcohol turns into this toxic byproduct in your gut. I tell you this all the time. It's that buildup that makes you feel rough the next day. Z-Biotics free alcohol was created by PhD scientists to break that down before it becomes a problem. You just drink it before your first drink of the night. That's it.
The first time I tried it was before dinner with friends. I had my usual glass of wine, my drinks or whatever. I went to bed the next morning, clear, focused, no regrets, ready to do the show. So make it your first drink of the night. Drink responsibly and thank yourself in the morning. Go to zbiotics.com slash lemon. Use the code lemon to get 15% off of your first order.

San Diego, Wanda is here. How are you guys? Thank you for being here. I'm glad that you're here. I think it's fair to say this morning, it's a true statement that the tea is hot.
This is like what, this is why I came up with this 10 a.m. show called Hot Topics. Because this is the perfect hot topic. Like, you know, Nobody died. Oh, it is hot and it's good. You know, you can have a tea that's juicy. This tea is juicy. It's got honey in it. It's got lemon in it. It's got sweet and sour, just like the story that I'm going to talk to you about. So welcome to the program, everyone. Hello, Tennessee. Hello, Ireland. Wow. Amazing. Hello, Charleston. We got folks from everywhere. Michigan's in the house. Sacramento is in the house. Sacramento twice is in the house. So, look, hey, Louisiana. All right. Yes. Are you guys ready for the tea? Because, you know, everybody's everybody's doing it.
All the all the all the networks are like the breaking news is all that's able to tell you inside the White House. There's a story, a bombshell that is shaking Washington to its core. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Well, honey, I'm going to be Wendy Williams this morning because this is some hot tea, and that's how we're going to talk about it. So before we do anything, make sure you hit the like and make sure you hit the thumbs up, okay? Really, seriously, okay? The chat is flying. Maybe the producers, can you slow the chat down? Is it possible? Thank you. Thank you, whoever said, I like the mug. It is on our merch store, DonLemon.com, and then click on merch. And then the same thing, let's see if the creators do that. And then the same thing for the hat. If you like the raised black on black, Don Lemon, Lemon Live, then you can get it in the merch store. Okay. So hit that like, hit the thumbs up. Before we do anything else today, I'm going to ask you a real question.
And because if you haven't, we're going to take you through it. Have you read this Vanity Fair piece yet? I mean, we were, producers and I were talking before, and Nikki, the producer, came up with this. She said, it's like watching The Real Housewives. And I said, yeah, The Real House, whatever, The White House of Washington. The Real White House of Washington. That's what this is like. And look, and I don't mean did you skim the headline, okay? I don't mean did you see, you know, the chyron screaming, breaking news, like someone just pushed the red button. I mean, did you read it? Because listen, yes, this is serious. Yes, it involves the White House. Yes, it has implications for the country. But let's not kid ourselves.
This is some top tier premium government grade tea. Do you guys remember the government cheese? Well, this is some government tea right here. And it's not coming from Some anonymous aide hiding behind a burner phone, right?
