The Don Lemon Show

Don takes on a persistent and deeply dishonest narrative: that the left is “normalizing antisemitism.” The reality is that it’s coming from the Republican Party. From government agencies soft-pedaling swastikas and nooses as merely “divisive,” to GOP nominees and youth organizations openly embracing Nazi rhetoric, this moment demands clarity about where the real danger lies. A sharp, unflinching breakdown of hypocrisy, power, and why misdirected panic only helps extremism thrive. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Tonight we’re counting down to a critical moment: tomorrow is the deadline to release the Epstein files. Time’s up. The pressure is on and the questions are louder than ever. Will the files actually be released? What’s in them? And what will we finally learn if they see the light of day? The stakes couldn’t be higher, and the silence from those in power is only fueling more suspicion. We’re joined tonight by Tara Palmeri to break down what this deadline means, what could come next, and why this moment matters so much. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Don sits down with writer and political analyst Ahmed Baba to take stock of the state of the nation, and it isn’t pretty. From Donald Trump’s disgusting comments following the tragic death of Rob Reiner, to his public tantrum insisting the economy is “perfect” while Americans struggle to afford basics, the disconnect between rhetoric and reality has never been more glaring. They break down Trump’s increasingly erratic behavior, the widening gap between what he says and what people are living, and why his approval ratings continue to slide as patience wears thin across the country.

This morning we’re breaking down Donald Trump’s disastrous address to the nation from last night, an address that managed to say almost nothing while still being deeply embarrassing. It was easily one of the most useless speeches we’ve ever seen from a sitting president. The speech was packed with lies and delusion, as Trump appeared more interested in throwing a temper tantrum than addressing the very real problems facing the country. Instead of offering solutions, he tried to convince the American people, and himself, that everything is great, while openly telling people not to believe their own eyes when it comes to the economy. No plan. No accountability. Just denial, grievance, and self-congratulation. Join us live as we unpack the lies, the spin, and why this address landed as pathetic rather than presidential.

Tonight we’re breaking down the chaos unfolding on Capitol Hill because the cracks inside MAGA just got a lot harder to ignore. In a stunning move, four Republicans broke ranks to force a House vote on extending the Affordable Care Act subsidies, putting leadership on the defensive and exposing growing unrest within the party. From internal GOP fractures to a MAGA administration that looks increasingly unable to control its own members, the dysfunction is on full display. Is this the beginning of a broader collapse or just another sign that the MAGA coalition is eating itself alive? This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.
