Hello. We begin with something that I think is going to be helpful because it helps me. So support for the Don Lemon Show comes from Z Biotics. Listen, I don't know about you, but I don't bounce back the way that I used to when I was in my 20s. So if I'm going out for dinner with friends or celebrating after the show, I always reach for Z Biotics pre-alcohol probiotic drink before that first glass of whatever it is. So here's why. When you drink, your body produces a toxic byproduct in your gut, and that's what makes you feel rough the next day. So Z Biotics was created by PhD scientists to break that byproduct down before it builds up. So you can make up, wake up feeling fresh and ready to go. So I first tried it before a big dinner party, as I told you happened earlier in the year.
I drank it before my first cocktail and the next morning I was up early. I, I, I got ready to do the show and it was all great. Okay. And I still made the morning meeting with my team and we did the show. No crash, no fog. So as football season heats up right now and you're raising a glass or whatever it is at a tailgate or a game or a day party, make Z Biotics your first drink of the night.

Let's get started. All right, let's get started with the show. So good evening, everybody. Thank you so much for joining us. We have a very special show planned for you today.
And it is about, man. power and distraction and a whole lot of other things. And just playing around, as we say, playing in our faces, the American people's faces, especially with something as sensitive as this. So are you guys ready to get into this? I always say this is a class. This will be a class, not so much as a sermon, because you're going to learn a lot. I need to tell you that Tara Palmieri is here. Tara Palmieri has done the best reporting on this Jeffrey Epstein saga. And Virginia Giuffre. Virginia Giuffre's new book came out this week. And Tara Palmieri... has been covering her. She knows a lot of the victims have reported of this whole Epstein saga, and she's going to join us in just moments, but I'm going to set you up and tell you what's happening so that we can really, really get into it.
And there are lawmakers who are out there today, still making excuses, still pretending that, you know, Oh, it's just not a big deal. And this is all the Democrats. It's always a Democrats, even though like the Democrats didn't do this. And you guys know, I tell you like Democrats, you know, I even challenged like Eric Swalwell this weekend about Democrats and their messaging and what on earth are they doing? Why aren't they out there at the bus stops and at the, wherever they're dragging moms and people and then just taking them without due process. However, I don't believe that this is a democratic scandal. This is a scandal, all of the Trump making from the Trump MAGA people. So again, Good evening, everybody.
Tonight is not about gossip. Tonight is about power. It is what it looks like when power hides the truth. And then they call it justice, right? It's not justice. They're like, we want justice for the victims. We're trying to, and they're not respecting the victims because many of them want it released. And many of them are nervous and scared about powerful people. Memoir, it's called Nobody's Girl, and it came out just this week. There's the book right there. Okay, so let's get into this. Virginia Giuffre was 16 years old. She was a child. She was working at Mar-a-Lago when she says that she was first recruited into Jeffrey Epstein's world. Working at Mar-a-Lago, 16 years old. Trump owns Mar-a-Lago. Jeffrey Epstein was apparently a member there.
And she said, that's how she was introduced or Glenn Maxwell. And all these years later, after surviving what she survived, she still believed that the truth would come out, that the files would be released, that sunlight would do what the system refused to do, that it would be the best, best disinfectant.
