He looks calm.
Hello, welcome to the program, everyone. Support for the show comes from ZBiotics. Let me tell you something. I don't rave about many products, but this one has earned its spot in my life. It's called Pre-Alcohol, and I use it before a night out. It is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic created by real scientists who are tired of those rough mornings after you've had... few drinks. So here's a simple version. When you drink, your body creates this toxic byproduct right in your gut, and that's what makes you feel terrible the next day. Pre-alcohol helps break that stuff down. So you wake up, you feel human when you wake up. I keep it simple. I make pre-alcohol my first drink of the night.
I drink responsibly, and then I go enjoy myself. I hydrate, and the next morning, I am not dragging. I tried it before a dinner party with friends, and it worked. So I got up the next morning, I walked the dogs, The gym and the whole thing. And here I am, right, doing the show, feeling great. So make the most of the holiday season and bring ZBiotics with you.

Welcome to Lemon Live at Five here on the Don Lemon Show on the Don Lemon Channel, on the YouTube, on Twitch, on Facebook, on Instagram, on TikTok, on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify.
You know I'm just bragging right now, right?
Look at that list. That list. Impressive. I'm saying. Wait till we're like running on that. They're going to come up with a TV show for us.
Wait, Don.
Bring back the TV.
Don, you didn't get the offer for a Truth Social? I think you're on Truth Social, too. Oh, right.
And Rumble.
And Rumble. And Black Rifle Coffee. You think they let me on Rumble? Yeah, they let you on Rumble. Listen, they want us there. They're like, you should come to these apps and debate us here. They want any attention because you bring legitimacy to it. That's why Trump has to put the screenshots of his truth social posts on Twitter and on Instagram because ain't nobody seeing it on truth social. You got to take it someplace else.
You know, one of the things I love about doing this is that if I had done this when I was on TV, this whole thing would be brown. There ain't nothing, not a stitch of anything on here. And I mean, it doesn't, you can't. Yeah, Don, Don, we wearing less makeup than Donald Trump right now.
I know. That's every five minutes. He, he got more makeup on than little Richard. Same shade too. Same shade.
Hit the thumbs up, hit the likes. We have a lot to talk about. This is Jay Jordan, a comedian extraordinaire. Jay joined us this Tuesday, the past Tuesday at City Winery. Jay, come on, tell me. We had such a great, you were spectacular.
We had such a great time. It was truly the best. We had so many great questions, a few drunk aunties, a few people. We said, a person started slurring their words and said, hey, everyone, relax. It is a winery.
I said it in the name. It's called City Winery.
There's one woman, she said, I said, oh yeah, that's okay. I think, Dom, what she's trying to say is, how are we going to handle the gerotocracy and make sure we prove that we can have new life and new blood in the Democratic Party? She said, that's right.
We had a few drunk aunts and drunk uncles. Yeah. People who were like, why are you making excuses for Donald Trump? We looked at each other like, what show are you at?
That was the funniest moment because you went, that's not what I did. And the whole crowd went, shut up.
So it's a vibe. Tell people it's a vibe.
It's truly a vibe. Go to the one in Philadelphia on December 8th. You're going to have the best time. You're going to learn. You're going to be able to talk. You're going to support independent journalism. You're going to be able to strategize. And this is what it's going to take to continue to not only have people speak out against this, but you get to look to your left, look to your right, say, okay, these are people I can mobilize with in the community.
