**Erin Ryan** (0:00)
Hysteria is brought to you by Zebiotics. I'd love to tell you, I'm one of those women who could have three glasses of wine and still wake up glowing, but I'm not.
Somewhere in my early 30s, the morning after a few drinks started to hit different, that's why I started drinking Zebiotics pre-alcohol. Zebiotics pre-alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. Here's how it works. When you drink, pre-alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut. Alyssa, did you know that?

**Alyssa Mastromonaco** (0:32)
I did know that only because of Zebiotics.

**Erin Ryan** (0:34)
It's buildup of this byproduct, not dehydration, that's to blame for rough days after drinking. Pre-alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down.

**Alyssa Mastromonaco** (0:43)
Just remember to make pre-alcohol your first drink of the night. Drink responsibly and you'll feel your best tomorrow. So I first gave pre-alcohol a try. Caroline made me try it because she wanted to have a couple glasses of wine.
I'm a woman of a certain age, Erin, I'm 50, okay? One glass of wine is one thing, one and a half glasses, zeebiotic.

**Erin Ryan** (1:07)
Between weddings, the US Open, are you drinking for the US Open? Are you just going nuts?

**Alyssa Mastromonaco** (1:13)
That's it.

**Erin Ryan** (1:13)
I didn't realize. You know what? I'm not like a tennis person. So I didn't realize it was like a time to barf on the tennis whites.

**Alyssa Mastromonaco** (1:21)
Yeah, they have these special cocktails, the melon balls or whatever they are. What? They're like a very big deal. Yeah, they're like a real to do.

**Erin Ryan** (1:27)
Interesting. Okay. Well, between weddings, the US open and the first real lake weekend of the year, June barely leaves a Saturday open. Don't let a rough morning after cost you Sunday. Drink pre-alcohol to stay ahead of it and make the most of every weekend this month. Remember to head to zbiotics.com/hysteria and use code hysteria at checkout for 15 percent off.
Hello, and welcome to Hysteria. I'm Erin Ryan.

**Alyssa Mastromonaco** (1:57)
I'm Alyssa Mastromonaco.

**Erin Ryan** (1:58)
Alyssa, new title for Marco Rubio's unauthorized biography just dropped.

**Alyssa Mastromonaco** (2:03)
Really?

**Erin Ryan** (2:03)
Yeah, let's listen to this excerpt from the Secretary of State's appearance before a Congressional Committee Wednesday to hear the title.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:10)
Alyssa, I have one last question for you. Mr. Secretary, who won the 2020 presidential election?

**SPEAKER_4** (2:15)
I'm not here to answer the question. I told you about 2020 This is a foreign affairs committee.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:19)
Okay, great. You can't answer the question, even though we all know that President Biden won.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:23)
I'm not here to answer the question, because the secretary of state, I do not participate in domestic political issues.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:27)
This is not about domestic political issues. This is about our democracy.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:30)
You're asking me to opine, just like I don't do campaign rallies.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:33)
It seems like you...

**SPEAKER_4** (2:34)
I don't do it because as secretary of state, we're not supposed to. That's been the long tradition of the department, and you should know that if you've been on this committee for any period of time.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:41)
Mr. Secretary, it seems like you have an issue admitting facts. You can't say that the president lost the 2020 election, just like you won't admit President Trump is losing this reckless war of choice, and just like you couldn't admit that the shoes the president bought you were too big. You clearly don't know what winning means. And not because the facts are unclear to you. It's because telling the truth would cost you your job. And the American people are entitled to a secretary of state who tells them the truth even when the president doesn't want to hear it. And my constituents, our service members deserve better. Mr. Chairman, I yield back.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:13)
I don't know what shoes she's talking about. What is she talking about?

**Erin Ryan** (3:17)
Representative Burchett, you're recognized. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Florsheims fit fine.

**Alyssa Mastromonaco** (3:23)
Florsheims fit fine. You know, a good follow up to her would have been, well, wait, so you don't campaign. How do you feel about Pete Hegseth going down to Tennessee?
Kentucky, just saying.

**Erin Ryan** (3:35)
She had that line in her pocket, but it was well delivered.

**Alyssa Mastromonaco** (3:40)
It was. She was ready for it, but she made him big mad.

**Erin Ryan** (3:44)
Today, we get into the results from the California primary, at least what we know so far. We round up Trump's latest slew of flops and discuss why we're tired of men with checkered pasts running for office like nobody's gonna find out.
