Hello everybody and welcome to explain America
0:02
I'm your host Carmine Sabia, and we've got a story about CNN and Don
0:06
Lemon that you may not hear anywhere else. We got it for you here
0:10

It's a little group. We all get together kind of talk about things and you know, bunch
0:26
of like-minded Patriots. We think you'll like it. Now as for Don Lemon, he may not want to join our group
0:31
Not a lot of Don Lemon fans in there. So as you guys probably know it was a big blow up with Don Lemon
0:37
and his on-air co-host Caitlin Collins couple months ago. Well, apparently Caitlin Collins is not over it. Now
0:45
She's one of the youngest brightest stars at the network. She used to work for a conservative publication
0:51
Now she's over at CNN doing the CNN thing. She's certainly not a conservative warrior on there, but she's
0:56
a really good journalist and and I would say very fair now
1:02
She has a bright future. Don Lemon on the other hand had horrible ratings in his nighttime
1:07
slot. So horrible that he had be brought down to the daytime slot and given host Poppy Harlow and Caitlin Collins who are
1:15
both far more entertaining than Don Lemon ever has been and actually do a good job of trying to present the news where Don
1:22
Lemon tried to make a bully pulpit out of his nighttime show. So fast forward now Caitlin Collins
1:28
She's still angry. She's not over this thing with lemon. So you have to understand Lemon absolutely like berated her
1:35
yelled at her screamed at her in front of colleagues in front of associates. You don't just get over something like that very easily and
1:41
Caitlin Collins has not now she got rid of her agent recently
1:46
because she shared the same agent as Don Lemon that shows you
1:49
something right there. But now talk is that she's telling CNN. She's ready to leave
1:55
She's ready to 86 it out of there get off this show at lemon
1:58
get a new job with what CNN still I believe but a new job
2:03
So she's off the air. Think about that. You've got a morning show
2:07
Okay hundreds of thousands of people not millions because you're CNN hundreds of thousands of people are seeing you
2:13
every single day. It's a prime spot. It's the morning slot that has elevated careers traditionally
2:21
and gotten them primetime shows Chris Cuomo Springs to mind, but he's not the only one
2:25
You start at the morning and you springboard your way into primetime lemon
2:30
He kind of did the opposite. He was in primetime and he's falling down to the starter spot
2:35
in the morning. So do you want to lose Caitlin Collins who is by all accounts
2:40
a rising star? For this old man. Who his other co-host doesn't like him poppy Harlow because
2:48
he went on a rant about women in their 50s not being in their prime. You got two hosts that don't like him
2:53
He had a failing show in primetime. He now has two hosts that don't like him in a failing show
2:57
in the morning. Maybe the problem with this equation is Don Lemon
3:03
Maybe it's not Caitlin Collins or poppy Harlow or even CNN as a whole
3:07
Maybe it's Don Lemon. I don't know what he's getting paid, but it's not enough
3:12
to keep losing money and losing rating CNN needs to make the right move folks
3:16
