Don Lemon joins Bakari Sellers for a wide-ranging conversation about what happens when you stop asking permission.
Don opens up about life after CNN, why getting pushed out ultimately gave him more freedom, and how he built The Don Lemon Show and Lemon Media Network from the ground up. He also reflects on his short-lived partnership with Elon Musk, what that experience taught him about journalism, and why independent media has become so important in this political moment.
Bakari and Don also get into Donald Trump’s impact on journalism and the First Amendment, why Democrats have struggled to understand independent media, redistricting and Black political power, the culture wars that helped shape the 2024 election, concerns about same-sex marriage, and what Democrats need to learn before 2028.
And underneath all of it is a conversation about freedom. The freedom to speak plainly. The freedom to fight back. And the responsibility that comes with finally having your own platform.
