All right.

We're live now, Don Lemon, I'm Ed Baba, two brothers talking.

We're both watching the Jack Smith hearing.

Pardon me, I had a little cough, a little dry throat from the radiators.

You have old school radiators, and you guys know exactly what I'm talking about.

But good to see you.

How are you?

I'm doing good.

Got back from Wisconsin, gave a speech.

The MLK speech went really well at the Capitol.

But the most important question I actually

think is, how are you given everything going on? I think everybody's like concerned and thank you for,

you know, sending, you know, people are texting, you texted or whatever. I'm fine. You know me.

I'm a soldier. I'm totally fine. I stand by my reporting

and I stand by the First Amendment. So, you know, everything else from there is just noise.

Yeah, I mean, I think, I mean, I know how much you can talk about it, but I will say from my

perspective on this, I think he tried to use you as an example. I think, um, I've, and all it's really doing is rallying more people behind your work. And I see they just charged, uh, some of the Pete churchgoers there. And, you know, it's intimidation tactics. They don't want people to really be pushing back protesting or more importantly doing the work you're doing on the ground independently reporting on what's happening. You know, you weren't involved in any of it. So just want to say we're all, we're all with you, man. And, uh, you know, we all, we all got your back no matter what happens next. I will say I've never seen so much support from, um, organizations and individuals who organizations I've never, ever heard from or even, um, that I even knew existed, but just advocacy groups.

People offering representation.

And I'm like, wow.

People are competing to get this case because they think it's so ridiculous.

But anyway, that's neither here or not there.

But I appreciate all the support from National Association of Black Journalists.
