I'm here with an old friend of mine not old he's not old I'm old the great Don Lemon he's runaway hit the

Don Lemon show on YouTube everywhere you get podcasts it's it's it's a it's must

listen to it must see I don't call TV. It's must see streaming. I guess that's what we're going to say and

congratulations you're off to a great start. Thank you very much Donnie I appreciate that. I mean I think it's still TV. It's just a different

mechanism, right? It is amazing. It is amazing YouTube how dominant that is and how maybe people

in the traditional TV world don't

understand the power particularly of YouTube TV. I'm glad you said that because I

get more people now I have to tell you I think well here's let me qualify that

during the height of COVID and the height of George Floyd like when people were

sitting at home you know right during that time I would go out for when we could go out and people I couldn't go anywhere like when during the Trump thing

But now people are like I saw you on YouTube I saw you on this podcast. I saw you on that

And maybe they're under the age of 60 also. That's the other difference. Yeah.

It used to be, you know, my mom watches you, my mom loves you or my

grandmother loves you. Can I get a picture with you now. It's I saw your interview with

Elon Musk or I saw you on the Nelk boys I saw you you know I'm sure they'll get I saw you on Donnie
