Summary

Tonight we’re breaking down the absolute disaster that was Homeland Security Secretary, and self-proclaimed “puppy killer,” Kristi Noem’s appearance before the House Homeland Security Committee. It did not go well for her. Democratic lawmakers tore apart her talking points, pressed her on the inhumane detention conditions happening under her watch, and exposed just how flimsy her defenses really are. The pressure got so intense that Noem actually left the hearing early, a stunning move for someone supposed to be leading a federal agency. And that wasn’t all. Protesters showed up to confront her policies directly, making sure the cruelty happening around the country stayed front and center. Join us tonight as we unpack the meltdown, the hypocrisy, the evasions, and the growing backlash against Noem’s leadership. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

0:00.0	Hello, everyone. Welcome to the show. Support comes from Zbiotics. Let me tell you about this stuff. It has become part of my routine. And if I'm heading out for a night with friends,
0:21.2	it is called pre-alcohol. And it was created by real PhD scientists to help you feel better
0:28.2	the morning after drinking. So when you drink, our bodies create this toxic byproduct right
0:32.8	in the gut. And it's that buildup. It's not dehydration as everybody thinks that's what makes
0:37.1	the next day feel rough.
0:38.9	Zybiotics free alcohol helps break that down while you sleep. So I tried it before dinner with friends recently, and for the first time, as a matter of fact, just one small little bottle for my first drink, and then I drank responsibly, and the next morning I was up ready to do the show, getting my coffee
0:55.2	or my tea together and I went through my day without missing a beat. So make the most of your
1:00.8	celebrations this season and bring pre-alcohol with you. Go to zbiotics.com slash lemon for 15%

1:19.1	Good evening. Hello everyone. Welcome to Lemon Live at 5. We were chatting so much with the legends of the
1:26.4	backstage. I'm like, wait a minute. We're not even on yet. We should get on the air or on the stream. But before I get to the legends, the legends are here. I just want to tell you guys, thank you for last night. Again, I thank you guys this morning, but I want to thank everyone again. Do we have any new pictures, Andy? I don't know if we got any new pictures from last night. If we do, we can put
1:45.3	them up. If not, you know, let me know. We don't have any just yet, but I'll keep an eye out.
1:49.7	Okay. And so here's the thing. Well, there were some pictures that we sent earlier. Remember the
1:54.3	ones that I sent from the photographer? But I want to thank J.C. and KT. for this. K.
2:05.7	Katie said she sent me this tea strainer, and she said, I'm sick of seeing you with a tea bag. So KT. I'm going to take my first sip of lemon green tea with light
2:14.6	caffeine. Oh, it's good.
2:19.0	And I usually, oh, wow, that's strong too.
2:21.4	Woo!
2:22.2	And I usually don't drink tea with caffeine because, you know, especially like on an
2:29.2	empty stomach, but even when I eat tough, it can be tough on you.
2:33.4	You'll, like, you know that, like, you know that like you get the
