We start with something that is very helpful to you and very helpful to me. So support comes from Z-Biotics. You know, I have to tell you about this game-changing product that I use before a night out with drinks. It is called pre-alcohol. Z-Biotics is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. Now, here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol converts into a toxic byproduct in your gut. It is that buildup. It's not dehydration. That's what causes those rough mornings. Well, pre-alcohol creates an enzyme that helps break that down. You wake up feeling your best. It's backed by a 100% money back guarantee. No questions asked. That's zbiotics.com slash lemon and use the code lemon.
Hello, good evening, everybody. Welcome to Lemon Live at 5, the Don Lemon Show. Let me just say, I'm going to start off by saying I'm so tired, but I'm energized. I got such great energy and it sort of rejuvenated me, the Black Week today. I sent you guys some pictures. If you can get them up, it would be great. But anyways, so I've been drinking lots of orange juice today. That's me at Black Week. I kicked it off today with a fireside chat. with Walter Gere, who is one of the co-founders of Black Week. And he was on, we had him on the program earlier this week. Or was it last week? I forget. I think it was last week. But anyways, and also that's me with the head of the, I also did a panel, a discussion, or it was a talk between me and him and then audience took questions from, this was Derek Johnson, who's the head of the NAACP.
This picture was taken, I think, by Joy Reid, who snuck in the room and took a picture of us. And this one right here was taken by the, the photographer in the room. So anyway, Derek Johnson is going to join us a little bit. We had a great talk and we're going to talk about what you can and cannot do, what you should and should not be doing in these times. And he actually opened my eyes to some things. I don't know if I agree with him. He doesn't agree with me, but man, it's certainly made for a great, a great conversation. So to all the folks at black week, we did a live, go check it out. It's on the Don Lemon live on the street today. It's really good. I got to tell you guys, I'm not kidding. I am. Wow.
Every time I go, I don't know if you guys have seen the lives team. Did you see it today? Nikki producers and yeah. See how the people reacted to our channel and what we're doing. It's it's for me to turn my lemon sign on for me. It's wow. Overwhelming. Like I'm almost in tears.
