The Don Lemon Show

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. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Tonight we’re diving back into the Epstein scandal because it is far from over. Today, House Democrats released never-before-seen photos and videos from Epstein’s island in the U.S. Virgin Islands… and “creepy” doesn’t even begin to describe them. The material raises even more questions about who visited, what happened there, and how much has been kept from the public. So how much more is still out there? Will the full Epstein files ever actually be released? Join us live as we break down the political fallout and what this latest release means for transparency and for the powerful people who still don’t want these files to see the light of day.

Don sits down with Rep. Jimmy Gomez to dig into all the major news of the day, and there’s a lot to cover. They break down the latest developments in the Hegseth Venezuela boat strike scandal, Trump’s latest pardon, and the growing sense of lawlessness radiating from the administration. Rep. Gomez also walks Don through the new legislation he’s introducing to combat the inhumane immigration tactics we’re seeing across the country and to address the mounting affordability crisis that’s squeezing millions of Americans.

This morning we’re diving into the latest wave of bad news crashing down on MAGA, and it’s getting harder for them to hide the cracks. The job numbers came in far worse than expected, blowing a hole in Trump’s economic talking points. And meanwhile, the Hegseth Venezuela boat strike scandal is refusing to fade, no matter how many confusing excuses the White House throws at it. The instability, the infighting, the unraveling, it’s all on full display for the entire country to see.

Don sits down with Michael Cohen to break down all the news of the day, and there is a lot to unpack. From the absurd, shifting explanations surrounding the Venezuelan boat strikes to today’s absolutely batshit crazy cabinet meeting, the chaos inside the Trump administration is on full display. Don and Michael dig into the dysfunction, the contradictions, the political fallout, and the sheer madness of a government that can’t settle on a story, or stay awake, during its own meetings.

Tonight we’re breaking down the absolutely batshit crazy cabinet meeting that unfolded today, a meeting so chaotic, disjointed, and surreal it felt like satire… except the American people actually have to live with the consequences. They still can’t settle on a unified story about the Venezuelan boat strikes. The explanations keep shifting by the hour, and the White House looks more panicked than ever. But that was just the opening act. We also got Kristi Noem telling Trump he somehow “keeps the hurricanes away,” Trump ranting that affordability is a Democrat scam, and the president of the United States dozing off in the middle of his own meeting. It was a wild, absurd rollercoaster of delusion and dysfunction. What. A. Shitshow. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

This morning we’re diving back into the rapidly escalating Venezuela boat strike scandal and the White House’s increasingly desperate attempts to shield Pete Hegseth from the fallout. Despite the spin, despite the conflicting stories, the core question remains the same: Did Hegseth’s actions constitute war crimes or even murder? Legal experts say yes. The administration of course says “nothing to see here.” We’ll break down the latest reporting, the shifting defenses, and whether anyone in this MAGA-led White House will ever face accountability or if the machine is just veering even further into outright lawlessness.

Tonight we’re diving into all the major stories of the day, and the chaos is piling up fast. First, did Pete Hegseth order the second Venezuelan boat strike? The White House can’t seem to get its story straight, and the conflicting explanations are only raising more questions. If these reports are true, we’re looking at actions that many experts say could constitute war crimes, and the pressure for accountability is growing. Then we turn to Alina Habba. A federal appeals court has ruled that she had been serving unlawfully as the U.S. attorney in New Jersey, a stunning blow to the Trump administration. Don is traveling tonight, so we’re joined by guest host Charles Coleman, MSNBC legal analyst, former prosecutor, and civil rights attorney, to help us break it all down.

Don breaks down the explosive reporting on the Venezuelan boat strikes and the allegation that Pete Hegseth may have ordered that everyone on those vessels be killed. If true, national security experts are already calling it what it is: a war crime. Donald Trump now claims he did not know about the order, but that excuse raises even more questions. How can a commander in chief distance himself from a military-style operation carried out under his watch? And if he truly didn’t know… what does that say about who is actually in charge? Don digs into the timeline, the denials, the shifting narratives, and the growing calls for accountability. Is it time for Trump to fire Hegseth? And will he, or will politics once again outweigh basic responsibility? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This morning we’re diving into the explosive reporting surrounding the Venezuelan boat strikes and the disturbing allegation that Pete Hegseth may have ordered that everyone on those boats be killed. If true, many experts are already calling this a potential war crime with massive legal and political consequences. So what actually happened? Who gave which orders? And how will the Trump administration respond now that these details are coming to light? Will Trump stand by Hegseth no matter what, or is this finally the kind of scandal that brings too much heat, even for him? We are joined by friend of the show, Rick Wilson, to break it all down.

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 down with humor, sharp insight, and just the right amount of holiday snark. This episode is brought to you by the Freedom From Religion Foundation.

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 opportunism. Don breaks down the details of this terrible incident, the reaction from officials, and Trump’s response, which once again reveals exactly where his priorities lie.

Tonight’s livestream opens with breaking news out of Washington, D.C., where two National Guard members were killed in a shooting near the White House. We’re joined by friends of the show Jolly and Michael Fanone to break down what we know so far, how something like this could happen, and what we can expect next from those in charge. This is a developing and deeply serious situation, and we’ll bring you the latest as it unfolds. Then, we’ll shift into a much-needed Thanksgiving Eve conversation with Tara Setmayer, Clay Cane, and Monique Pressley, talking tradition, food, family, and finding moments of community even in the midst of heavy news.

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 break down what’s happening, why these crises matter, and how we can hold onto truth and humanity in a time when cruelty is becoming policy.

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 Thanksgiving conversation with friends of the show Reecie Colbert, Symone Redwine, and Wajahat Ali. From food plans to family traditions to holiday hot takes, it’s the perfect way to head into the season. This episode is brought to you by the Freedom From Religion Foundation.

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 drain.

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 MSNBC legal analyst and civil rights attorney Charles Coleman, former federal prosecutor and the host of the “Justice Matters” podcast Glenn Kirshner, and attorney, legal analyst, and law professor Symone Redwine to unpack the rulings, the reaction, and where Trump’s legal freefall goes from here.

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 punishment for stepping out of line? And what comes next for one of the most controversial and divisive figures in modern politics? Join us live as we unpack the resignation, the fallout, and what this seismic political breakup means for Trump, MAGA, and the future of the GOP.

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 Jay Jurden. Grab your snacks.

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 can dream up, and absolutely none of it is landing. The country is finally starting to see Donald Trump for exactly what he’s been this whole time: a loser. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

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 messaging from Trump’s circle, and the increasingly obvious attempts to steer the national conversation away from Epstein altogether.

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 making reckless statements that could put these lawmakers’ lives in real danger. This isn’t political spin, it’s dangerous rhetoric from the man who holds the highest office in the country. And tonight, we won’t be discussing it alone. We’ll be joined by our very own Lemon Legends, who will weigh in on the chaos, the implications, and just how serious this moment really is. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

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 an attack on himself and is now making wild, incendiary claims online that could put these lawmakers’ lives in real danger. Don lays out what was actually said, why Trump’s reaction is so dangerous, and what this escalation reveals about his mindset and the growing threat to democratic institutions and elected officials. This isn’t politics as usual. This is a warning sign. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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 files…all Democrats, of course, never mind that his own name appears over 1,000 times. Will all the files actually be released? Will Donald Trump try to block or edit what comes out? Will everyone named face real accountability, or will MAGA weaponize this for political revenge while ignoring anything tied to Trump himself? This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.
