On this episode, Bill is joined by veteran broadcaster and cultural commentator Don Lemon. The two discuss Don’s transition away from CNN and his new foray into streaming, the shifting landscape of media bias and viewer trust, the lure of unfiltered conversation versus traditional “managed” television formats, and the political tightrope walk of modern journalism. They candidly dive into everything from Don’s experiences as a gay Black man in the public eye and meeting his husband, diversity and inclusion in hiring, the mystique of AOC, “defund the police,” and how Democrats might counter the MAGA movement without veering into extremes. They also weigh in on the comforts (and occasional perils) of personal freedom. All this, plus reflections on life in New York vs. Los Angeles, the ups and downs of public perception, and much more.

That guy cannot be intimidated. But is that something that's admirable? No. Should we celebrate that? I'm not celebrating it.
Don, it's time for our cooking segment. I don't know if you know this, but I make a mean omelet. Moving on. Don here. I'm here.
Roll call. Keep them waiting. Lemon, keep them waiting. Try to intimidate them. Come in. What time is it? It's 5.30.
The show is scheduled for exactly 5.30. It's good to see you. How are you doing? I am never late and never have been. Are you never late? You hate being late? And I find it rude when people are.
Yeah.
And I really don't like it when people go, they're late all the time. They go, you know, I'm not a rude person. Well, my thing is you are what you do. If you're late all the time, you are a rude person. Yeah. But no, 5.30, you were here early. I appreciate that. It's a work day for me.
