Hello, elimination. We start this program with something to help you get a handle on your health. Support comes from Brickhouse Whey Protein. Now, I've tried plenty of protein powders over the years, and honestly, most of them didn't do squat. No extra muscle, no more energy, no better workouts. Just chalky shakes and disappointment. The doctors at Brickhouse Nutrition explained why. Poor quality protein and cheap fillers like maltodextrin, soy, corn syrup, sodium, and cellulose. That's why they created Brickhouse Whey. Bioengineered by doctors, not marketers. This is real science. You can feel working. It's clean. Highly bioavailable, delivers protein level, muscle growth, a leaner physique, rapid recovery, and zero bloating because it's lactose-free.
Now, if you've been sabotaged by junk protein, switch to Brickhouse Whey. Guaranteed results or your money back. So go to thenewwhey.com and use the promo code LEMON for 20% off. That's promo code LEMON at thenewwhey.com. Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Don Lemon Show. And look what we have here. Hey, we have Angie Pumps Sullivan from the I've Had It podcast. Angie, look at this, Pumps. Uh-oh, I'm messing up my thing. I'm here and I'm performing tonight. I'm on stage. I'll be live all over the world and in front of this crowd.
City Winery is amazing. You're going to be awesome. You're great live. You're great always.
Thank you, Pumps, for joining us. But, you know, I'm a little bit nervous because I don't this is not I'm used to being live, but not like in a venue like this. It's like doing a Broadway play or like I'm doing stand up or you know what I mean?
So, yeah. And I want to have a great partner to help.
Yes, I do. I have DL Hughley. And if you show, let's show it. So I wait, is this too much shadow on me? Cause I want to wear my merch. We're going to be selling merch tonight. And I got, I got a check out my shirt. Do you guys see my new shirt? There we go.
I'm watching.
I'm watching lemon, watching lemon live at five and I'm a lemon head too much of a shadow. Or is it okay?
I like it.
Okay, good. So thanks so much. So, guys, here it is, City Winery. You can put it up for us, Nikki. This is tonight. It is sold out tonight, okay? So maybe if you came, maybe there's a waiting list you can get in at the door. But tomorrow night, we are – it's not sold out, but it's getting close to being sold out. So you've got to get your tickets, and we have some very special surprise guests that you won't believe. You're going to be really upset if you missed it. Right, guys? Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
All the guys are here. So people are starting, all the guys, all the social media folks are here. It's a really fun thing that we do. So come join us, City Winery, New York City. Google it. Go on DonLemon.com. You can figure it, find out where it is. And yeah, we'll be here tonight. So shall we get into the news, Angie Palm-Sullivan?
Yes, it's crazy. Like every day I wake up and I think, can this really be happening?
But it is. It is happening. So let's go through it. I want to talk to you guys about... it's disturbing what's happening on the streets of America. You have a city, well, D.C. is not technically a city, but you guys know what I mean, that's being taken over, or at least they're putting military people on the streets, the National Guard in Washington, D.C. You know they did it in Los Angeles. And so we're going to talk about that. But first, I want to start with, do you remember what happened when the jobs numbers came out last week or a week or two ago, and he didn't like them? He didn't like those numbers? He fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Right. And now the person that he has put in charge is now saying, you know what?
I don't know if we need to put out and put out this data anymore. I don't even know if it's worth it. How are we going to know what's real and what's not? Suspending jobs reports. What is this? Is this I mean, are we in communist Soviet Russia? Like what is happening here?
I think we are. I mean, this is authoritarianism straight down the line.
