'The Wire' creator David Simon talks TV, Trump, impeachment, and Twitter

Influence isn't just about making a name for yourself. It's about making a statement. On that score, TV writer and producer David Simon is second to none. Simon is best known for creating the HBO hit "The Wire," which ran for five critically-acclaimed seasons in the mid-2000s. His other shows include "Treme," "Show Me a Hero," and most recently, "The Deuce," starring James Franco and Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Simon won an Emmy in 2000 and has been nominated for many more since. He's here to talk about how streaming has rocked the television industry and how to use your work and life to say things that matter.
