Hello, everyone, welcome.

You know what that boomer music is that you hear at the top of the broadcast.

Tim Miller's here.

I'll explain why he's here in just a moment.

Welcome to the Don Lemon Show.

We're so glad that you're here.

Lots of talk about.

Here's what we're going to cover the latest updates on on the arrest of the suspected CEO shooter Luigi Mangione, the dark internet celebration of that

assassination of the CEO, disgraced Congressman Matt Gates' career pivot, interesting, Pete Hegsett's

ongoing confirmation battle and Democrats' governance strategy for the next four years.

Lots of ground to cover. Fortunately, today I have someone who can handle it all and more is the legendary Tim Miller, the host of the Bullwark podcast, co-host of the Next Level podcast, an MSNBC contributor, and a great friend to the show.

Thank you for joining. You're in New Orleans, right?

What's up, Don? I'm in New Orleans. I'm excited. We've got Matt Gates is a new competitor of

ours now, I guess. I guess he's a new competitor. I guess we have to consider him a peer and a

competitor. Can you? I mean, it's so, that is a, look, I think I have a weird career arc. So do you. Yeah. Which I want to talk to you about.

But, I mean, this one is, I think that's the weirdest.

I mean, it's strange that you had two doors.

One door is Attorney General of the United States of America.

The other door is one America's news outlet anchor.

Yeah, but you forgot about one of those doors ends with a clink. There's no

nothing in the middle, no middle ground there. I don't know, very strange. All right, let's get

to it because I know that you are a very busy man and I am really grateful that you're here.
