Tonight, Don is joined by friend of the show George Hahn for some much needed post-Thanksgiving laughs. MAGA has been in full meltdown mode lately, stumbling from crisis to crisis, and the cracks in Donald Trump’s once unshakable grip are getting harder to ignore. Has Trump’s spell finally broken? Is the end of MAGA actually near? Or is this just the beginning of a much louder, much messier unraveling? Don and George break it all d...

This morning we begin with the heartbreaking news that one of the National Guard members shot in Washington, D.C. has now passed away after the horrific attack near the White House. But even in a moment like this, Donald Trump is doing what he always does, using a national tragedy to push his own agenda and turn the focus back onto himself. Instead of leading with empathy or unity, he’s choosing self-interest and political opportu...

It’s Thanksgiving Eve, a time meant for joy, family, and connection, yet far too many people are trying to replace that spirit with fear. From Donald Trump’s continued attacks on Democratic lawmakers who simply reminded military members of their legal obligations, to the inhumane and heartbreaking ICE detentions unfolding across the country, the moment feels incredibly heavy. This morning, Don is joined by Senator Ruben Gallego to ...

Tonight we’re digging into some fresh reporting that could signal more cracks inside MAGA world. Donald Trump may be considering removing Kash Patel as FBI Director. The White House is denying it, but… we’ve seen this movie before. Could this be the start of yet another MAGA ouster? And what does it say about the growing instability around Trump? Then, after the political chaos, Don switches gears for something lighter: a fun Thank...

Good Tuesday morning Lemon Nation. Today we dive further into the desperation that is sweeping across the MAGA landscape. Several of Trump's political retribution campaigns are failing and he's grasping at straws to assert his power in new ways. What does Pete Hegseth have to say about Mark Kelly? Will any other politicians join MTG in defying Trump, resigning, or both? Join Don at 10am EST to break down how MAGA is circling the dr...

We’re diving into yet another brutal day for Donald Trump, because the losses just keep coming. In a major legal blow, Trump’s cases against both James Comey and Letitia James have officially been dismissed. Two cases, two failures, zero wins. We’ll break down what these dismissals mean, why Trump’s legal strategy keeps collapsing, and what this string of defeats says about his shrinking power and mounting panic. We're joined by M...

This morning we’re breaking down the bombshell news that Marjorie Taylor Greene is resigning from Congress, a stunning twist after her very public split from Donald Trump. Once one of his most loyal supporters, Greene broke ranks over the release of the Epstein files… and Trump immediately turned his fire on her. The insults flew, the alliance shattered, and now she’s calling it quits. So what happened behind the scenes? Is this pu...

Tonight we’re diving into the shocking Oval Office meeting between Donald Trump and Zohran Mamdani, a meeting everyone expected to explode… but instead turned into something else entirely. Instead of fights, Trump was practically smitten. Yes, really. Did we just witness the birth of a new Trump man crush? To help us unpack the chaos, confusion, and comedic gold of it all, we’re joined by friend of the show and brilliant comedian ...

This morning we’re diving into Donald Trump’s ongoing, unstoppable crash-out. His poll numbers are tanking, the economy under his watch is sputtering, he’s threatening Democratic lawmakers for giving troops a basic civics reminder, and the Epstein file scandal is clinging to him like static. The man is panicking, and it shows. Meanwhile, his administration is out here trying every lie, every spin, every last-minute distraction they...

Don chats with journalist and political analyst Ahmed Baba for a wide-ranging conversation about the state of the nation and the growing tension surrounding the Epstein Files. With the bill to release the files being passed, many are wondering...will the files actually be released in full? Or will Donald Trump try to limit or delay what the public gets to see? Don and Ahmed break down the political maneuvering, the sudden shift in ...

Tonight we’re breaking down Donald Trump’s latest Truth Social tirade, several posts where he suggests that Democratic members of Congress should be arrested or even killed. This escalation comes in response to a video from several veterans turned lawmakers reminding military members that they are not obligated to follow unlawful orders, a basic pillar of U.S. military law. Trump took offense, twisted their message, and is now maki...

Don breaks down Donald Trump’s latest Truth Social meltdown, several disturbing posts in which he suggests that Democratic members of Congress should be arrested or even killed. Yes, you read that right. This all stems from a video made by several military veteran lawmakers advising military members that they are not obligated to follow unlawful orders, a basic principle of U.S. military law. But Trump twisted their message into a...

The Epstein scandal is far from over. Donald Trump has now signed the order to release the files, but if you think that means full transparency, think again. Statements from Pam Bondi and other Trump officials are raising major red flags about possible loopholes, restrictions, and last-minute excuses to keep certain documents hidden. Meanwhile, Trump is already calling for investigations into some of the names mentioned in the fil...

Tonight we’re diving into Pam Bondi’s absolutely disastrous press conference where she dodged and danced around every question, somehow managing to say nothing at all. It was a mess, and it raised even bigger questions about what the Trump administration is planning next. Are they preparing to block the release of the Epstein files? Are they trying to limit what the public gets to see? We’ll break down her evasive answers, the poli...

Don is joined by friend of the show Dr. Frita to break down two horrific recent cases in which Black women in labor were denied the medical care they needed. In one instance, a woman was turned away from the hospital entirely and forced to deliver her baby in her car. Dr. Frita explains why these are not isolated incidents, but part of a much larger and deeply rooted problem: a medical system that routinely minimizes, dismisses, an...

This morning we’re taking a closer look at something we haven’t seen in a long, long time: Republicans are finally starting to turn on Donald Trump. His approval rating is sliding, key allies are distancing themselves, and a few lawmakers, the same ones who used to trip over each other to defend him, are suddenly finding their spines. So what’s going on? Is this the beginning of the end for MAGA? Are people finally realizing that T...

Tonight we’re going live to break down the big news out of the House: the bill to release the Epstein files has officially passed, and it wasn’t just bipartisan, it was nearly unanimous. Only one member voted no. This is a major hurdle cleared, even though the bill still needs to get through the Senate. So what happens next? Will the names in these files finally face real accountability? And with Donald Trump suddenly insisting he’...

Today is the day...the House is voting on the release of the Epstein Files. This morning, we'll follow the major press conference ahead of the vote. Rep. Ro Khanna, Rep. Thomas Massie, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, and a group of Epstein survivors are expected to speak, setting the stage for what could be one of the most consequential votes of the year. What are lawmakers signaling ahead of the vote? Will bipartisan support hold? Wh...

In this video, Don takes a closer look at Megyn Kelly’s very rough week. It started with her baffling attempt to downplay Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes by insisting it wasn’t “actually pedophilia.” People were left wondering what on earth she meant, because the victims were children. Full stop. Any effort to soften what Epstein did is not only absurd, it’s dangerous. But Megyn didn’t stop there. She then walked straight into a joke she ...
