The Don Lemon Show

Tonight, Don takes a deep dive into the growing economic pain hitting America’s farmers , and why many rural voters who overwhelmingly backed Donald Trump in 2024 are now questioning the policies coming out of his administration. From rising fuel and fertilizer costs tied to the Iran conflict, to tariffs and economic uncertainty, farmers across the country are feeling squeezed from every direction.
Joining the conversation are returning friends of the show, farmer and activist John Boyd Jr. and farmer Will Westmoreland, to talk about what they are seeing firsthand on the ground. How bad is it getting? Why are some longtime Trump supporters changing course? And what happens to the country when the people feeding America can no longer stay afloat?

Good morning and welcome back to the chaos. Today we’re breaking down Donald Trump’s latest trip to China , and why it’s looking more like a global humiliation tour than a diplomatic win. Meanwhile, Americans are paying more and more for the fallout of his policies, gas prices are climbing amid the Iran crisis, and Trump continues to spew divisive and ugly rhetoric that only deepens the damage.
But we’re not just doom-scrolling this morning. We’re joined by friend of the show, author and pastor Cody Deese, to talk about how people stay grounded, compassionate, and hopeful when the people in power seem determined to drag the country into darkness.
Join us live at 10am ET. Bring your coffee. You’re gonna need it.

Tonight, we’re bringing you voices from the ground.
Don hit the streets to ask everyday people what they’re thinking about the state of the country, the economy, the political chaos, and the growing frustration boiling over across America. And one thing became very clear: a lot of people are fed up.
Then we turn to the escalating fight over redistricting and voting rights. Don is joined by a Louisiana activist on the front lines battling maps and policies designed to weaken Black political power and silence voters.
As more states push controversial redistricting efforts after the weakening of Voting Rights Act protections, many Americans are asking the same question: how do people fight back when the rules keep changing?

This morning, we break down all the latest chaos coming out of Washington, D.C..
Donald Trump is overseas in China praising Xi Jinping while continuing to spark questions back home about his behavior, messaging, and overall fitness for office.
More and more people, including some former supporters, are openly asking what is going on. From rambling speeches to bizarre public moments, concerns about Trump’s mental sharpness are becoming harder to ignore, no matter how many times he points to passing a cognitive test.
So what are Americans actually seeing, and why does the conversation around Trump’s mental state keep growing louder?
