Lemon LIVE at 5 | Pete Hegseth: Secretary of WAR CRIMES?! The Scandal Keeps Getting Worse
Tonight we’re breaking down the latest developments in the Hegseth Venezuela boat strike scandal, a story that just keeps getting darker. Was it a war crime? Many experts say yes. Others are calling it outright murder. But the biggest question remains: Will anyone in this administration ever face accountability? The answers so far aren’t reassuring.
We’ll walk through the newest reporting, the shifting White House explanations, and the mounting pressure on Pete Hegseth as this scandal continues to grow.
And tonight, Don won’t be unpacking it alone. We’re joined by our very own Lemon Legends, who will weigh in, ask questions, and help break down all the latest twists and turns.

LEMON DROP | Why Is Trump So Afraid Of The Epstein Files?!
Don sits down with Congressman Robert Garcia, the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, to discuss the newly released photos and videos from Jeffrey Epstein’s island. House Democrats unveiled the material this week, and the images are both creepy and unsettling.
Don and Congressman Garcia break down what these visuals show, why they matter, and the bigger question on everyone’s mind: Why haven’t the full Epstein files been released yet? Who is stalling? What’s being protected? And how much more does the public deserve to know?

HOT TOPICS | Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump & RFK Jr: Drunk, Dumb & Dangerous!
This morning we’re breaking down the biggest news of the day, and the chaos is only growing. The Venezuela boat strike scandal continues to engulf Pete Hegseth, and now a newly released Pentagon report says Hegseth’s signal-gate mess put U.S. troops at risk. Things are looking very bad for him, but of course, Donald Trump is doing what he always does: claiming he “knows nothing” while still backing Hegseth to the end.
Meanwhile, RFK Jr. is pushing to further limit the use of childhood vaccines, adding yet another layer of danger and misinformation to an already volatile political landscape.
Things just keep getting worse, but we’re here to break it all down, make sense of the madness, and give you the facts and a little sanity to start your day.
