Good morning, everybody. How are you? It is really, really early for me. I'm a little bit late because I had a couple of things. Number one, I'm in California, so it is 7.15 here. But I was up at 4.35 because I had to do this thing for out in California. I'm sorry, in the U.K., I had to do a podcast called The News Agents in the UK. And so that's what I did this morning. So I was up early. Let me fix this because I don't know why it just went off. So where are you guys streaming from? Where are you watching from? And I'll tell you another reason why I am a little bit late, right? Because I have some news for you. I don't know if you guys have seen social media. Have you, folks? Have you seen the social media?
Don Lemon 1:16
So I made an announcement about X or Twitter. Have you guys seen that? That I am leaving the platform. And I think Andy has a video. Good morning. And I'm going to see where everybody before it before we put the video up. Let me just see where you guys are from this morning. Wow. D.C., Denver, Wisconsin, Maryland, Sacramento, Dallas, Delaware. Hi, Stephanie in Delaware. Bobby's in Boston, San Francisco, Michigan. These are all the folks that are on the YT. Well, Bandros1951 is from Scotland. I think we've spoken before.

So thank you all. Good morning from, have a good grace. maryland alton illinois okay so um again i'm glad all of you are with me today we're going to continue i'll shout out to all of you a little bit more of a casual nature to the show because again i'm not in the studio i'm not at home i'm in los angeles i am attending um an event um for spotify a little bit later on so i was up because I am leaving Twitter and I'm going to tell you why. And here's the video. Everyone, I have loved connecting with all of you on Twitter and then on X for all of these years. But it's time for me to leave the platform. I once believed that it was a place for honest debate and discussion, transparency and free speech.

But I now feel it does not serve that purpose. In addition, starting this Friday, November 15th, X is implementing new terms of service, which, among other things, states that, quote, all disputes be brought exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas or state courts located in Tarrant County, Texas, end quote. The full terms of service can be found on my written statement or on the X website. Now, as the Washington Post recently reported on X's decision to change the terms, this quote ensures that such lawsuits will be heard in courthouses that are a hub for conservatives, which experts say could make it easier for X to shield itself from litigation and punish critics.

I think that speaks for itself. you can find me on youtube at the don lemon show or on tick tock and facebook at don lemon and on instagram and blue sky at don lemon official i hope you will join me there thanks um that is my video statement and this is a statement that i put up on social media just so you know you can go to any of the sites but it explains again why i'm doing it um i think that um You know, it's the right thing to do. And we all should have sort of equal justice under the justice system. And I don't think that, you know, anyone should be no matter who they are, should be putting their finger on the scale. So if you know the other sites that I have listed there, the blue sky that, you know, tick tock.
Don Lemon 4:35
you know, the YT, uh, and on the Graham and all of those things, you can join me there. So I hope that you'll do that. And it's, look, it's one of my biggest performing platforms. Even the, the haters over there love to respond. Um, and that, you know, I have, um, almost 2 million followers there. So it was a big decision, but I think it's the right thing to do. Let me know. Are you still on the platform?
