What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Let's start with something that's helpful for you this fall and holiday season. Support comes from ZBiotics, okay? Welcome, everybody, to the program, by the way. You know, I like to keep it real, all right? And if I'm going out for a couple of drinks, there's one thing that I always reach for first, and it's called ZBiotics, pre-alcohol. This little pre... Alcohol probiotic is a total game changer, okay? So here's the deal. When you drink, your body creates this toxic byproduct in your gut, and that's what makes you feel rough the next morning. Z-Biotics was made by real scientists, PhDs, to help break that down before it ever builds up. So I tried it the first time for a dinner party, had my first drink.
Maybe two, but I started my first drink was what the pre-alcohol prebiotic and the next morning I felt great clear on my game. So now I never forget it. So if you've got parties, if you've got tailgates or holiday toast coming up. Make ZBiotics your first drink of the night. Go to zbiotics.com slash lemon and use the code lemon for 15% off of your first order. They even have a money-back guarantee. So you've got nothing to lose except that rough morning. ZBiotics. Drink responsibly. Of course, Rick, responsibly. Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Don Lemon Show, Lemon Live at 5. Happy that you're here. Wait till you see who our guest is. I'm going to introduce him in just moments. We're going to talk to you about the president's behavior today and also something that is critical to our intelligence and I think safety here in the world, and that is our biggest ally has decided not to share intelligence with us.
So why don't we bring him in now, the man, not even the myth, but the legend. He is a staff writer at The Atlantic and a contributor at to the Atlantic Daily Newsletter, Mr. Tom Nichols. Tom, good evening. Welcome to the show. How are you doing?
I'm well done. Thank you. Thanks for having me.
Absolutely. I want to play this. This is breaking news. I believe it's breaking news coming from CNN. I'm going to play part of it, and then I want to get your take on it. Here it is.
A breaking news exclusive now coming into the Situation Room. Watch this. The United Kingdom is suspending, listen to this, suspending some of its intelligence sharing with the U.S. because of the Trump administration's strikes against alleged drug boats in the Caribbean. We are joined now by senior White House reporter Kevin Liptak and CNN national security correspondent Natasha Bertrand. Natasha, to you first with this exclusive reporting. I mean, this is a big deal. The UK is arguably the closest ally to the United States when it comes to intelligence sharing. What else do we know? Yeah, Pam, it's a really significant rupture here. Essentially what we're learning is that the UK is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about these suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in the US military's strikes on these drug vessels and believes fundamentally that the US military's use of force against these vessels violates international law, according to multiple sources that we spoke to.
Previously, the UK had been happy to help the United States locate and interdict vessels that were transiting the Caribbean that appeared to be trafficking drugs. But the key difference, of course, is that it was helping the Coast Guard intercept those vessels, arrest those on board, seize the drugs. and allowing these individuals to have some semblance of due process. But now the US, of course, has started striking these boats unilaterally with military force, killing everyone on board. The total now for number of people killed is around 76. And we're told that the UK is deeply uncomfortable with that, and they believe that it is pretty blatant.
Basically, Donald Trump is doing nationally what he's doing here. He doesn't care. He believes that he's a dictator, can do whatever he wants. But just to look, I hate to quote someone who's in the chat, but someone said this is really bad.
