Summary
Former CNN host Don Lemon was arrested by federal authorities after a Minnesota grand jury indicted him on charges of conspiring to deprive civil rights and violating the FACE Act. The charges stem from his involvement in disrupting Sunday services at the Cities Church in St. Paul on Jan. 18. The Sekulow team discusses the case against Don Lemon, the ACLJ's pending case against CNN at the U.S. Supreme Court - and much more.

| 0:00.0 | We got breaking news. Don Lemon arrested. |
| 0:04.5 | Keeping you informed and engaged. Now more than ever. This is Seculo. |
| 0:11.7 | We want to hear from you. Share and post your comments. Recall 1-800-684-3-110. |
| 0:39.9 | And now your host, Logan Secula. Welcome to Sechilo. We've got a Pact show. It is Friday. We're live, so I want to make sure you have an opportunity to call in. We can open up those lines. Open up the phone lines for you at 1-800-684-31-10. That's at 1-800-48-4-31-10. Do we have phone lines? Are they down? Okay, all right. |
| 0:44.7 | Let's make sure we open those up for people to call in. Okay, I'm not sure. We'll figure that out. |
| 0:52.5 | Don Lemon has some breaking news. Don Lemon has been arrested. That's right. Journalist, |
| 0:55.1 | Don Lemon, who stormed that church with the protesters, |
| 1:00.5 | who went in, who got in the face of that pastor, has now been arrested. This would happen last night in his hotel, around 11 o'clock last night, I believe, in Los Angeles, as he was preparing |
| 1:06.2 | for the Grammy Awards, which are this weekend, opens up a whole host of questions. Of course, |

| 1:18.4 | and the federal government has made some arrest. Now again, and then we need to take a step back. |

| 1:35.3 | Yeah, likely not. |
| 1:36.4 | In fact, I think he was a pretty irrelevant person, an irrelevant source of news, |
| 1:40.4 | irrelevant source of broadcasting for many years now. He said make me the next Jimmy |
| 1:46.4 | Kimmel, essentially make me that martyr, if you will. And it looks like that is headed |
| 1:52.7 | to happen. And that is my concern when something like this happens. Not the consequences |
| 1:57.5 | shouldn't be appalled someone. Look, if he deserves to be arrested, he deserves to be |
| 2:02.3 | arrested, and so on and so on. But my concern is that we make this kind of moment the focus |
| 2:10.1 | and not actually focus on the real concerns of what's going on in Minnesota. And all of a sudden, |
| 2:16.9 | you now have created a superstar out of Don Lemon. Not something that I would like to happen as he's not |
