We start this program with something that is good for you that you should know. Support comes from Z Biotics. Now, let me tell you about this product I use before a night out with drinks. It's called Pre-Alcohol, the world's first genetically engineered probiotic created by PhD scientists to help you feel your best the next day. Here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol creates this nasty byproduct in your gut. That's what can leave you feeling off the next morning. Z-Biotics helps to break it down while you sleep so you wake up ready to go. So the first time I tried it, it was before a big dinner with friends and I had my favorite drink, a little tequila, a little soda. And then I went to bed. And the next day, I was up early, sharp, and ready to go like nothing happened the night before.
So with football season here, tailgates, games, game days, and watch parties, it's a perfect time to make ZBiotics your first drink of the night. Go to ZBiotics.com slash lemon for 15% off with the code lemon. They even have a 100% money back guarantee. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to Hot Topics, 10 a.m. Eastern time here on the Don Lemon Show on the Don Lemon Channel. We have lots of news for you, including this is the breaking news that we have for you. Donald Trump is speaking at the United Nations here in New York City. It is U.N. week. Dip in for a minute. We're going to discuss also what's going on with Jimmy Kimmel and the stations group and also Vice President Kamala Harris's new book. She has some interesting things to say.
But first, here's Donald Trump during.
this eight-month period. In my first term, I built the greatest economy in the history of the world. We had the best economy ever. History of the world. And I'm doing the same thing again, but this time, it's actually much bigger and even better. The numbers far surpass my record-setting first term. On our southern border, we have successfully repelled a colossal invasion. And for the last four months, and that's four months in a row, the number of illegal aliens admitted and entering our country has been zero. Hard to believe, because if you look back just A year ago, it was millions and millions of people pouring in from all over the world, from prisons, from mental institutions, drug dealers. All over the world, they came.
They just poured into our country with the ridiculous open border policy of the Biden administration. Our message is very simple. If you come illegally into the United States, you're going to jail or you're going back to where you came from, or perhaps even further than that. You know what that means?
No due process. That's what that means.
I want to thank the country of El Salvador for the successful and professional job they've done in receiving and jailing so many criminals that entered our country. And it was under the previous administration that The number became record-setting, and they're all being taken out. You have no choice. And other countries have no choice because other countries are in the exact same situation with immigration. It's destroying your country, and you have to do something about it. On the world stage, America is respected again like it has never been respected before. You think about two years ago, three years ago, four years ago, or one year ago, we were a laughingstock all over the world. At the NATO Summit in June, virtually all NATO members formally committed to increased defense spending, at my request, from 2 percent to 5 percent of GDP, making our alliance far stronger and more powerful than it was ever before.
In May, I traveled to the Middle East to visit my friends and rebuild our partnerships in the Gulf and those valued relationships with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, and other countries are now, I believe, closer than ever before. My administration has negotiated one historic trade deal after another, including with the United Kingdom, the European Union, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and many, many others.
