What happened during Don Lemon's live report from the St. Paul church and why did it spark controversy?
Hello, everyone. Welcome to The Don Lemon Show. Welcome to this special edition. Let's get started. Support comes from Z Biotics. 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 Z Biotics Pre-Alcohol. Z Biotics 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. Welcome to the program, everyone. Hello, Lemonheads. Thank you so much. Oh, wow. That was this morning. I had a little suit and tie on because I was hosting a Dr. King breakfast, which just was amazing. So let me just say this. Is there anything going on in the news? Is there anything happening in the news today? I got to tell you, you know, it's weird sometimes when these things happen.
Usually every time there's something big that happens in my life, I am the person who is like least connected to it. I've been sort of in a protective bubble. Last night when this all started happening, I was like delayed in an airport and could not figure out how to get, you know, to get all the stuff that I needed, just trying to deal with like rearranging flights and all of that. And then today I was like... I was in the middle of this Dr. King thing, which was great to all of the support that I got and the encouragement saying, we got your back. Don't worry about it. The number of attorneys who are like, this is a slam dunk. You better call us. We're going to mobilize civil rights attorneys, huge attorneys.
So, you know, We'll see if I need any of that or any of that happens, but it just makes you feel good, especially the people who fought for our freedom, for civil rights, and who actually worked with Dr. King reaching out and offering their support. So that means a lot to me, the world to me. Another person that means the world to me is my brother from another mother who is always there. And when I need to talk to someone like, and I need someone who's been there, I call it old heads, is Mr. D.L. Hughley, my friend. DL called me just before the show and cheered me up. And DL, come on into the program.
Hey, baby boy.
You're going to scream next to what?
Yeah, I've never been next to a Black Klansman before. Don Lemon's going to start Black Klansman 2. It's crazy. It's crazy.
DL. It's crazy. So you saw what's happening, right? You probably know more about it than I do because I've been so busy all day. What do you think? I do.
I think this is an example of them perverting Dr. King's legacy and the history of civil rights and the history of race relations in this country to their own ends. It's interesting that people are angry with him for... I guess people, Black Lives Matter found out that somebody associated with the church in St. Paul was the acting director of ICE and Black Lives Matter staged a protest that you happened to cover. But what's more interesting is Black Lives Matter was protecting and fighting for the rights of Renee Good, a white woman, while all Lives Matter were paying money to her murderers. And so, we find ourselves, and it is Dr. King's birthday, and we're honoring it. But we've got to remember, Dr. King gave a speech, one of his famous speeches was a eulogy for poor black girls that were killed in the Birmingham church bombing.
So, You know, you can't use church, the angry Jew, using church for a speech, but churches have been, black churches have been bombed.
