What are the implications of Trump's DOJ actions against Don Lemon?
Today I'm here with America's favorite independent journalist and one of my best friends, Don Lemon. Don, how are you? How is life?
hi jennifer welch life is better when i can see you and hear your voice it's a little crazy as you know with you know we've discussed a little bit um um but it's yeah it's uh i'm doing okay how's that that's good well listener as you know the trump uh regime
You know, prosecution that makes absolutely zero sense while ignoring the Epstein files. And they arrested our good friend Don Lemon for doing his job, a journalist, as well as other journalists. Don wasn't the only one. And Kylie put up the headline about his phone. I was told, Don, we couldn't ask you about anything unless it was reported. It says defiant.
How does Don Lemon feel about the seizure of his phone?
Don Lemon says the process is the punishment after lawyers reveal the feds took his phone. Do they still have your phone?
they do they still have my phone yeah and look there's been report there have been reports on it because uh the reports say that it's difficult to open you know the phones or whatever get access to the phones um and so i don't know because i've never tried to get in in somebody else's phone but um there's nothing in there That, I mean, you know, good. I mean, I want my phone back, but what they'll find is that there's nothing in there that that really helps them. So I would love to be able to get my phone back, but I would like for them to to do it quick, fast and in a hurry, because I think in the old days, you know, if someone they took your phone, I don't think people were as used to having their life being on their phones.
But my life is on my phone. You know, my work is on my phone. I did a live shot in the snow this morning from, you know, from a phone that I borrowed. And so I need my phone in order to not just to be able to call my family and my friends and my loved ones, but to conduct my business.
What challenges do journalists face when targeted by the government?
It's my livelihood.
So are your lawyers going to be able to get your phone back?
I think so. But I mean, do I want it back after that? You know what I mean? And it's difficult if you're a high profile person, but especially if you're a journalist, right? There are certain things that you don't want revealed. And I think there's privileged information on my phone. And I have almost everyone who's of importance in the universe in there. From presidents to everybody, to heads of states and to important actors and actresses and artists and Jen Welch.
What are the effects of threats on journalists' mental health?
So I don't want them seeing that. They shouldn't be allowed to see that. It's none of their business. It has nothing to do with what happened in Minnesota.
I can just picture these just gross little maggots going all through your phone. And they'll find out the night that you were arrested, I sent you a text that said, I love you, Dawn. So that's what they're going to have on us.
They're going to come back and get you.
Okay. Let's move on to, you know, I don't know about you, but I get a lot of, and I know you do too.
How does the podcast address the current political climate?
I get a lot of like death threats, hate mail. When I just arrived back in Oklahoma city here from Mexico, I had a letter from somebody wishing death upon me. Tell me there was anthrax in the letter. And I thought, who am I supposed to report this to? Kash Patel? Like he's going to give a shit. I mean, who do you report it to?
Oh, you know? You're right about that because, you know, I still get those things. But when back in during the first Trump administration, you remember, I mean, you watched me remember they would send pipe bombs to CNN and news organizations.
What criticisms are made about the Democratic leadership's effectiveness?
I was in the middle of my show one night and we had to be evacuated. We did the show on the street in front of the in front of the CNN studios and Columbia, Columbus Circle. uh, in New York, um, because of threats, bomb threats and death threats at security and all those things. And even now, you know, very similar. So who do you report it to do for me? Do I report it to the same people who are going after me?
Right.
You know what I mean? Do I, who do you report it to? That's what I was.
What are the arguments for and against abolishing ICE?
You criticize Jen.
