He's been speaking to some people here from Minnesota. But anyway, so I am here for court today.
Why is Don Lemon in court in Minneapolis today?
This is my first. They call it an arraignment, which is very interesting for me to have to talk about these things. But as you know, I am very transparent with you about life and about everything, personally and professionally. That's because we... That's why I'm growing a community, and I believe that's why it has grown so fast. Congressman Jonathan Jackson, let's check back in with him. Jonathan Jackson, Congressman, are you there? Can you hear me this time?
How are you? Yes, sir. Hey, Brother Don. How are you? What's up, young man? I'm great. You doing okay? Yes, sir. I'm sorry I'm a little bit pinched for time. But listen, I wanted to honor you, thank you, celebrate you for your great work. You are a true hero, champion.
What does Representative Jonathan Jackson say about press freedom and Minneapolis protests?
History isn't over. And now the mantle has passed. You're going down in history as one of the greatest of American journalism activists. I mean, you're willing to self-sacrifice. And for that, this is what sometimes we look too far back in history, look to Ida B. Wells and other people that are great, did great things. We honor and we appreciate them. but let them know that their spirit is still alive and it's manifested itself in you. All the way from the southern end, like I would tell you, why did this happen in Minnesota and why you, is that you were chosen for this. The Mississippi River starts in Minnesota. It ends in Louisiana. You know that river. That river has a memory. And so your soul and time were beckoning for you to be here in Minnesota.
So I'm gonna do all I can to be with you, stand with you, and you're a fighter. And I appreciate that, brother.
I was not expecting that. Thank you. Wow.
You were made for this fight, Don.
Yes. That just touched my heart. I'm not afraid of anything. And like the man that your father marched alongside, I'm not afraid of, Dr. King said, I'm not afraid of any man. Right. So here's what what I want to say to you. Can you because I believe this is bigger than me. This is about the First Amendment and about freedom of the press in general, in a large part, because that's that's a bedrock of our Constitution, I believe.
absolutely um and this is about renee good she's in the right place at the right time uh she's not an immigrant she's not a migrant this is about alex petty this is about a man that is a servant for the nurses that works with the veterans that has a heart to serve the people he saw a thug ice agent push a woman which is assault he stood up because he's a man and says you cannot do that and then what did he get he got his face thrown on the ground in 20 below zero weather by five, seven men and shot nine or ten times in the back and then was said that he was a perpetrator.
