HOT TOPICS | MAJOR NEWS UPDATES: Jimmy Kimmel, Donald Trump, & Kamala Harris - September 23rd, 2025

Good morning! We’ve got a lot to cover today. First up: Jimmy Kimmel is returning to late night! After being pulled off the air “indefinitely,” public outcry clearly hit Disney where it hurts, and now he’s back. Score one for free speech. Then, we turn to Trump’s absolutely deranged press conference where he claimed that autism is caused by… Tylenol, a claim that is not supported by evidence. And why is MAGA suddenly obsessed with Tylenol instead of the actual drug, acetaminophen? And finally, Kamala Harris is back in the spotlight with her new book 107 Days. What can we expect to learn from it, and what bombshells are already making waves? It’s all here, unfiltered and with the snark you know and love. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Lemon LIVE at 5 | Charlie Kirk Shooting Suspect Speaks! - September 16th, 2025

We’re digging into the latest updates in the Charlie Kirk shooting case. New evidence shows the shooter’s roommate, who happens to be transgender, has been overwhelmingly cooperative and helpful to police.

HOT TOPICS | MAGA & Pam Bondi Attempt To DESTROY Free Speech - September 16th, 2025

This morning, we’re zeroing in on MAGA’s escalating attack on free speech. In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s tragic death, the right is weaponizing a tragedy as a tool for censorship.

Donald Trump is suing The New York Times, and the administration looks like it’s on a warpath against anyone who refuses to fall in line. Here’s the twist: even some MAGA voices are starting to speak out against this blatant disregard for the First Amendment. Will the administration really be able to push this through?

HOT TOPICS | America's Response to Charlie Kirk's Shooting & MAGA's Hypocrisy - September 15th, 2025

This morning, Don takes a hard look at just how dark things have gotten in America. First up: the MAGA response to the Charlie Kirk killing. Political violence is always wrong, but now MAGA world is on a warpath, calling for the firing of anyone who said anything short of absolute adoration for Kirk. Funny how the folks who claim to be champions of “free speech” only mean it when you agree with them. Then, we turn to Fox News host Brian Kilmeade, who actually suggested on air that we should kill homeless people. He has since apologized, but seriously, WTF?! From glorifying violence to silencing dissent, the rhetoric is getting darker by the day. Where does this end? This episode is brought to you by ZBiotics.

Tonight, we’re diving into all the updates on what we know about the alleged shooter of Charlie Kirk. Trump and MAGA wasted no time painting this as the work of “violent leftist extremists,” but new information suggests the picture may be far more complicated, and not aligned with their narrative. Details are still emerging, but what we do know already raises big questions. Joining Don is comedian, actor, and radio host D.L. Hughley to break it all down. Then, an all-star panel takes the conversation further with author & commentator Wajahat Ali, author Tim Wise, Texas State Rep. Jolanda Jones, host of the Higher Learning podcast Van Lathan, and tech journalist Taylor Lorenz. It’s a can’t-miss discussion about facts, spin, and the dangerous politics of the moment.

HOT TOPICS | Trump Says Charlie Kirk Shooter In Custody! - September 12th, 2025

This morning, we’re unpacking Trump’s wild interview on Fox & Friends. He announced that a suspect is in custody for the Charlie Kirk shooting, but wasted no time spinning it into his favorite narrative: that “leftist extremists” are the real danger. (Right-wing extremists, apparently, get a free pass.) And because no Trump appearance is complete without a dose of authoritarian theater, he also floated sending the National Guard into Memphis. What does this all mean for the country, and how much further will he go to rewrite reality? Let’s break it down. This episode is brought to you by ZBiotics.

Lemon LIVE at 5 | MAGA Blames The Left for Charlie Kirk's Death - September 11th, 2025

The killing of Charlie Kirk has brought us to an incredibly dangerous political moment. Instead of waiting for facts, many on the right are rushing to blame the left,some even going so far as to call this a “war.” Little is known about the shooter, their motives, or affiliations, but what we do know is clear: escalating rhetoric and fueling division will only make this crisis worse. Tonight, we’ll break down what’s happening, why tensions are rising, and why it’s more urgent than ever to step back from the brink. We're joined by Comedian, Actor, and Radio Host DL Hughley, along with an all star panel: friends of the show Jennifer Welch, Jolly, and Michael Fanone, political commentator @thedavidpakmanshow , Sam Rosenholtz (a.k.a.

This morning, we’re covering the horrific breaking news: Charlie Kirk is dead, killed in an act of political violence that should never happen in America. But instead of calls for unity or calm, Trump and MAGA allies are already escalating, some even openly calling for violence against liberals and framing this moment as a “war.” Meanwhile, the shooter has not been caught, and we still have no clear understanding of their motives or political affiliation. Now is the time to de-escalate and bring tensions down, but MAGA seems determined to stoke the fire. What comes next for our country? This episode is sponsored by Beam.

Tonight, we’re continuing our deep dive into the bombshell release of the Epstein Birthday Book, and yes, the infamous birthday letter Donald Trump wrote to Jeffrey Epstein. First they said it didn’t exist. Now that the receipts are out, they’re trying a new line: it wasn’t really from Trump. Really? So when can we expect more from the Epstein files? And will MAGA ever admit that Trump may have been involved, or are they sticking with denial ‘til the bitter end? Joining us to break it all down is Rep. Dave Min from California.

HOT TOPICS | Has Trump Declared War on Chicago...WTF Is This Fascist BS?! - September 8th, 2025

Donald Trump has done it again, this time using Truth Social to all but declare war on Chicago, threatening to send in troops as if it were a hostile nation and not, you know, an American city. How exactly have we gotten to this point? Meanwhile, the public seems less than thrilled with their “strongman.” At the U.S. Open, Trump was greeted not with cheers but with a sea of boos. And yet, news outlets were conveniently asked not to show it. Because nothing says “popular leader” quite like silencing dissent and pretending the jeers don’t exist. We’ll break it all down: Trump’s latest fascist move, the backlash he’s facing, and why the cover-ups are just as damning as the policies themselves. This episode is brought to you by ZBiotics.

LEMON DROP | Is The GOP Trying To Take Guns?!

For decades, Republicans have treated the Second Amendment like it was carved into stone tablets, sacred, untouchable, and immune to compromise. But apparently, there’s a loophole: being transgender. Donald Trump’s GOP, the same party that cheers open carry in churches and defends AR-15s in grocery stores, is now considering whether gender dysphoria should disqualify someone from owning a firearm. Instead of tackling the actual gun violence crisis, they’re targeting less than one percent of the U.S. population. Don breaks down the hypocrisy, the cruelty, and the dangerous precedent of this latest attack on transgender Americans. Because once again, the GOP isn’t interested in real solutions, it’s about power, control, and weaponizing fear. This episode is brought to you by DeleteMe.
