Why did Don Lemon open with platform tech issues and audience Q&A before the main topic?
Okay everyone, let's get started. Support comes from Z Biotics. Now let me tell you about something that I actually use before night out. It is called Z Biotics Pre-Alcohol, world's first genetically engineered probiotic, invented by PhD scientists, and it helps you avoid those rough mornings after drinking. So here's the simple version. When you drink, alcohol turns into a toxic byproduct. right in your gut. It's that buildup. It's not dehydration. That's what makes you feel awful the next day. Z-Biotics pre-alcohol produces an enzyme that breaks that byproduct down before it ruins your morning. Now, I started using it before dinner events or a night out with friends. I drink it before my first cocktail, and the difference the next morning, real.
I feel clearer, more like myself, not bragging through the day. Just make it your first drink of the night, by the way, and then drink responsibly, and you're going to feel your best tomorrow. So go to zbiotics.com slash lemon and get 15% off of your first order when you use the code lemon at checkout. They also have a 100% money back guarantee. No questions asked. That's zbiotics.com slash lemon. The code word is guess what? Lemon. Good morning! Okay, I know everybody. I know, I know. Okay, Nikki, tell them. We could not get on Facebook, and we don't want to leave the Facebook people out.
Yeah, he's right. Not lying. It was a tech issue.
And we want everybody to be able to get the thing, so Nikki usually can get in, but I, as the owner of the account, had to go in and backfill, or whatever you call it, and the back way, and put the thing in and I'm not that tech savvy. So anyways, good morning. I am so sorry. But listen, who's on Facebook? A lot of people would watch us on Facebook, guys. A lot of people watch us on Instagram. A lot of people watch us on Twitch. A lot of people watch us on TikTok. And so we want to serve all of our audience. We're sorry that we don't mean to inconvenience the folks who are not on Facebook. Oh, someone said Facebook. Did you see that, Nikki? Someone said Facebook. Facebook wouldn't load for them too or something this morning.
I forget.
Maybe it's just a Facebook issue, but I am seeing some comments from Facebook. So yeah, we're coming through.
So I don't know. I don't know what's going on, but let me do this. Stand by one second because I think I'm at the end of this. I don't want to do that in your ear. So welcome everybody. How are you? Where are you streaming from? What is going on in your world? We have a lot to talk about today. Wow, the engagement is great this morning. Facebook here. Okay, so good. So you folks on Facebook, are you happy because we could have gone on on time or at least closer to 10 o'clock, but then there would be no Facebook. And then Facebook would be going, where's Don? And then just sitting there waiting. Right, Arkansas? Right, North Carolina? Fort Greene? So Twitch is, I never have an issue with Twitch. We never have an issue with Twitch.
We never have an issue with YouTube. I shouldn't say never, right? But usually we don't. Sometimes, was it Instagram? Or is it, which one, TikTok? Which one kicks us off if we're not on within a minute? TikTok. TikTok will kick us off. Yeah, so you can't just put the code in for TikTok. You don't go on within a certain amount of time. It kicks you off, and you don't get to be on there. So anyway, enough explaining. Okay, I'm glad you guys are here. Hi, Georgia. Hi, Marylander. Louisville here. Twitch can be twitching at times. Oh, can it? It can be twitchy and glitchy. I don't know about that. Cleveland is here. Charleston, South Carolina. Let us know. Let's see where all these folks are from here. So good morning.
All right, y'all. Come on now. About last night. You know what I'm talking about, right? About last night. Can we talk about last night? Because if you watched it, you know. You already know what I'm about to say. And if you didn't, well, I'll just tell you. I'm going to save you. I'm going to spare you and just give you the highlights, okay? Okay. This was not, you know, usually when a president gives an address, especially from the Oval Office or from the East Room or from the White House or wherever it is, he's giving that address.
