Hi everyone, welcome to the show. Support for the show comes from Z-Biotics. I wanna tell you about something that I actually use before a night out. It is called Z-Biotics Pre-Alcohol. Here's the very simple version. When you drink, alcohol turns into this toxic byproduct right in your gut. It's that buildup that's what makes you feel rough the next day. Z-Biotics is the first genetically engineered probiotic designed to break that byproduct down before it ruins your mornings. So, I tried it before dinner with friends, where I knew I had a couple of cocktails, I was gonna have a couple cocktails, and I drank it before my first drink, I didn't think much about it, and the next morning I woke up clear.
No fog, no dragging. I was actually good. That is the difference. So whether it is holiday dinners, game days, or a night out with friends, make pre-alcohol your first drink of the night. Drink responsibly, and then thank yourself the next day. So go to zbiotics.com slash lemon. Use the code LEMON for 15% off of your first order.

Thank you for joining us. Welcome to the Don Lemon Show, Lemon Live at 5. You know what I always tell you, like, thumbs up, all of those things. Okay, so I'm just going to let you inside the process here, because this happened just as we were about to go on.
I didn't want to be too late for you. It was just a little bit late, not much, because it just happened. I think you guys, maybe you've seen it, maybe you haven't. There hasn't been much reporting about it. So we're going to talk about, I'm going to walk you through something that is, look, it's reportedly... on the Justice Department's website released by the Justice Department earlier today. It's strange because you can't get to it directly. A reporter found it. So anyways, it's hard to try to figure out the origins, except that it is, if you go onto the Justice Department website, the link that was provided by the reporter, then you will see something. The Justice Department released earlier today and why what is released that we're going to talk about, what they released earlier today and why what they released is not what the public needs to truly understand what happened, I think.
And I think it is strange. OK, so the link to the video is we got from do we have the original guys? I'm going to rely on the producers for this. Do we have the original? Let's see from the reporter. What's what's the reporter's name is on site. OK, this is from Riley Waltz.
OK.
And he says, warning, this is extremely disturbing. The DOJ uploaded a 12-second video showing what appears to be Epstein attempting to kill himself. The camera timestamp is the day his body was discovered. The DOJ quietly released the footage but didn't link to the video yet from the main Epstein Files page. And again, so it is justice.gov. which is the justice department, correct me if I'm wrong, everyone, right? Producers, this is the justice department. Yes. Slash Epstein files. And then it gives it that. So again, you know, I'm a little bit nervous about putting this on because again, there's no direct link to it. And I know how people can make phony links, but that's what this apparently shows. Okay.
So, God, I don't know. Do I want to show this? What do you – producers, what do you think? Peter, you guys want to weigh in?
Yeah, Don, I was just going to say if you decide – if we do decide to show it, Dropsite News is reporting this. They are putting their journalistic brand, their journalistic integrity behind this. It's not just Riley Walls. It is all of Dropsite News.
Okay. So – and I've been – I have not seen any other – Organization reported. Let's see. Yeah. God, this makes me really nervous. I don't see anything for in the last hour.
Do you want to cover some of the other Epstein storylines that we have and then continue monitoring?
Yeah, I want to continue my, but it's on, can you send me the drop site news link?
