0:00.0	Good evening, everyone. Welcome to Lemon Live at 5. Very rarely do we have a story that goes from the morning, well, from last night to the morning and then into the evening again. And that is the CBS story. There's still more follow-out. We have bombshell after bombshell to talk about. As a matter of fact, I went on to the cable news today moments ago to discuss, perhaps we'll have a clip
0:39.9	of it in this program. We'll talk about Scott Pelley, to talk about journalism, talk about
0:44.2	the First Amendment, the freedom of the press, all of it. And a fascinating conversation
0:48.8	and fascinating conversations and details, bombshells that we're going to share. Okay, we'll get to that, but there's a lot
