What is the event and opening focus of this MLK Day special?
Hello, everyone. Welcome to The Don Lemon Show. Welcome to this special edition. Let's get started. Support comes from ZBiotics. Now, let me be honest. After a night out with drinks, I don't bounce back the way that I used to. For a long time, I felt like I had to choose between having a good night or a good next day. That changed when I found ZBiotics Pre-Alcohol. ZBiotics Pre-Alcohol is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic created by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. When you drink, alcohol turns into this toxic byproduct right in your gut. It's that buildup. It's not dehydration. That's what makes you feel awful the next day. Pre-alcohol produces an enzyme that breaks that down.
Now, I take it before my first drink. I enjoy the night. I drink responsibly. And actually, I feel like myself the next day. So here's what you do if you want to feel your best, okay? Drink responsibly and then wake up tomorrow feeling great. Go to zbiotics.com slash lemon and use the code lemon for 15% off. That's zbiotics.com slash lemon. Use the code lemon for 15% off. Let us bow our heads, raise our hands, and open our hearts. Yah added, you are the most just, dear God, of those that dispense justice. Let us never tire of leveraging the remembrance of this day to be tireless workers for true justice on this earth. Ya Rahman, O God, you are the most merciful of those that sow mercy. May you always make us conduits for divine mercy on this earth so we can be recipients of that mercy in the next life.
Ya Udud, you are the most loving of those that radiate love on one another of those that love the movement and love justice and freedom for all our people and oh dear lord as we gather this blessed morning in the spirit of those who preached marched and relentlessly organized before us, we invoke the same vision Dr. King shared while standing on the mighty mountain of sanitation workers that last night of his journey on this earth invoking the vision of Moses on that mountain, reminding us all that no matter how dark, how dreary and how demonic, the forces of evil are in front of us, that we must never stop casting our sacred gaze towards that promised land, towards that beloved community where all God's people, I said all God's people, from the west side to the west bank, from Gaza to Greenland, from old block to whole blocks, to whole cities, to whole neighborhoods, to whole nations across the world,
May one day live in dignity, honor, true and lasting peace. Amen and amen. Thank you. Please enjoy your breakfast.
We plan to make the time up, so get your breakfast on down.
Thank you.

I need everybody to take their seats, please. We're gonna do this in 15 seconds. We're gonna start. All right. Please take your seats, everybody. If someone next to you is standing and talking, tell them they gotta sit down, please, and be quiet. I don't wanna be rude. My mom told me never to shift, never to shh. But it works, shh. Please everybody on this momentous day, please be respectful and let's start so we can honor some very special people and honor Dr. King and the reason that we are able to sit here in this beautiful ballroom. Okay, you guys look great this morning. Tap your neighbor and say, neighbor, you look fantastic. Tap your neighbor and say, Dr. King is the reason that we can be here.
Tap your neighbor and say, Jesse Jackson is the reason that we can be here. And the most beautiful one, I see marching across this. I love you. Okay, everyone, please. All right, here we go. And I am a person in the public eye, so I like attention. So I'm not going to, until it's completely quiet.
Thank you. Good morning, everybody. Thank you for being here. My name is Don Lemon, the host of the Don Lemon Show.
