Welcome one and all to the Don Lemon Show. So happy that you can join us. Okay, we're going to start this show off. Lemon Live at 5 with something that is healthy for you, okay? So support comes from Brickhouse Whey Protein. Now, I have to be honest. I've tried a lot of protein powders over the years. Most of them, you know, they didn't work. They didn't do anything. It was just sort of taking my money, right? They didn't do squat. No real muscle gain, no boost in energy, no improvement in my workouts. Just a chalky shake and a lot of empty promises. Then I learned why. From the doctors at Brickhouse Nutrition, because most protein powders fail because they are full of poor quality protein and cheap fillers like maltodextrin, soy, corn syrup, and cellulose.
You can't build a strong body on that because it's junk. That's why I switched to Brickhouse Whey Protein. This isn't hype. It's bioengineered by doctors, not marketers. It's clean, it's effective, and it delivers results that you can feel. Professional level muscle growth and strength, a leaner, more toned physique, more energy, and faster recovery after a workout. And here's something I love. It's lactose-free. You know, a lot of us are lactose intolerant, right? That means no bloating, no stomach upset, just good stuff for you. So don't let junk protein sabotage how you look and how you feel. Switch to BrickHouse, Whey for guaranteed results or your money back. So here's what you do.

And so I'm just going to sit back a little bit and talk you through this. You know, I got mine. Hope you do, too. It is Friday. I'm going to discuss what's on your mind, and I want to talk about what's on my mind. I'm going to talk to you about this summit that is happening in Anchorage, Alaska. We can put up some of the pictures as I talk about it. What's interesting to me is that Ukraine is not there. Zelensky is not there. He wasn't even invited. I think we should be having a summit saying we're having a summit with our ally and our partner, Ukraine, to show support because Vladimir Putin is out of control.
Russia is out of pocket. They should not be invading a country at all. So this is the breaking news. It's out of Anchorage, Alaska. Again, photos are up where President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin just began a high-stakes summit on the war in Ukraine. And we're standing by and we're watching these pictures. That's Vladimir Putin arriving earlier in Anchorage, Alaska, aboard his plane. Donald Trump arriving as well, both men within a short time of each other. The two leaders met today at the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, greeting each other with a handshake before sitting down for those talks. So there they are. You see them meeting there on the tarmac. Aloha. This is awfully chummy to me.
I don't know how you feel about this. This is some weird you-know-what. Is there audio on this? I'm not sure. I doubt you can hear them, but... This is some weird stuff, man. There's Donald Trump getting off Air Force One. It's weird because I will show you just a little bit that he doesn't really walk in a straight line. I don't know if you guys notice that. That's a lot of steps. You better be careful. I know what you guys are thinking. So anyway, there you go. That's them talking right there. So let's see. So their initial... One-on-one meeting later expanded into, to include top advisors. On the U.S. side, the Secretary of State Marco Rubio was there. Envoy Steve Witkoff was there. On the Russian side, the Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was there.
And also, President-elect Yuri Yushakov was there as well. The White House has described the discussions as an effort to explore a possible framework for ending. Can you believe it's a nearly three-year war? that Russia began without provocation? You know, it's weird. I should have pulled this for you.
