The Don Lemon Show

It’s been a day, y’all. First up, Katie Miller, wife of the creepy, xenophobic architect of America’s worst immigration policies, Stephen Miller, had an absolute meltdown after being called out. We’ll unpack what set her off and what it says about the MAGA victim complex in full display. Then, we’ll turn to the looming end of SNAP benefits. What does this mean for families already struggling to put food on the table, and what can be done about it? Don’s joined tonight by political strategist Keith Edwards and The Atlantic’s Tom Nichols to break down the outrage, the economics, and the stakes for everyday Americans.

Don sits down with Missouri agroforestry farmer and friend of the show Will Westmoreland, along with a panel of farmers from across the country, to talk about how Trump’s policies are hitting rural America where it hurts most, in their fields, their businesses, and their livelihoods. After the election, headlines painted farmers as a monolith that overwhelmingly backed Trump. But the truth is more complicated and many farmers, including some who once supported him, are starting to see just how damaging MAGA’s policies have been for their communities. From tariffs to trade, subsidies to soil, this is an honest look at the people growing our food and what happens when politics plows right through the heartland. Learn more about your ad choices.

Let’s be honest, at this point, it’s starting to feel like the Trump administration is actively trying to kill us. He wants to resume nuclear testing, SNAP benefits are running out, and healthcare is about to become unaffordable for millions of Americans. The future’s looking less “great again” and more post-apocalyptic chic. So what’s the plan here? Is Trump just incompetent, or is this all part of the cruelty? Don breaks it all down, the policies, the fallout, and the grim reality of what happens when power meets indifference. America is not okay. This episode is sponsored by Henson Shaving.

Don sits down with political strategist Mike Nellis for a brutally honest breakdown of the state of the nation, and it’s not pretty. They dive into Trump’s endless stream of lies, the cruelty at the core of MAGA’s policies, and how this movement’s obsession with power and punishment is tearing the country apart.

It’s a bloodbath in mainstream media, and the numbers are brutal. CBS News is making sweeping cuts. NBC News is slashing jobs. Reporters, producers, and crews across the country are being shown the door in the name of “restructuring.” So what does this mean for the future of journalism? Is mainstream media dying, or just selling out? Because as outlets pivot toward right-wing narratives and bend the knee to Trump, it’s starting to look less like journalism and more like appeasement.

It's a rough week for Donald Trump, and it’s only getting rougher. First, he learns he can’t run for a third term (something about it being unconstitutional...who knew?). Then, his so-called “peace deal” is looking anything but peaceful, with strikes continuing overnight. Add in lawmakers and judges pushing back on his tariffs and indictments, and, well… it looks like the “winning” days might be behind him. This morning, Don breaks down the avalanche of bad news hitting Trump from every angle. Because karma, it seems, reads the Constitution. This episode is sponsored by Ollie.

Don sits down with Michael Cohen, Donald Trump’s former attorney and fixer, for a brutally honest conversation about the state of the nation and the man still trying to run it. Things are looking bleak, and together they unpack Trump’s growing mental decline, his nonstop stream of lies and delusions, and what it all means for America’s future.

First up, Don is joined by The Atlantic’s Judge J. Michael Luttig to break down just how real the threat of Trump attempting a third term actually is and how he’s been not-so-quietly trying to amass the powers of a king. Because when has he ever cared about the Constitution? Then, Don dives into the right’s latest descent into extremism: Tucker Carlson’s sit-down with white nationalist Nick Fuentes, a man whose views are proudly racist, misogynistic, homophobic, antisemitic, and Islamophobic. Apparently, for MAGA, nothing is off-limits anymore. It’s dark, it’s dangerous, and Don’s here to call it exactly what it is. This episode is brought to you by MSI United States.

There’s chaos at I.C.E., and honestly, who’s surprised? Turns out, the agency can’t keep up with Trump’s completely unhinged demand to deport 3,000 people a day. Not without shredding due process, harassing American citizens, and targeting hardworking immigrants along the way. And now it’s being reported that some ICE recruits with criminal records and failed background checks have made it into training sessions. Standards? Apparently optional. Don breaks down the dysfunction, the hypocrisy, and the dangerous reality of what happens when cruelty becomes policy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Donald Trump seems to be crashing out, and fast. After a string of unhinged remarks during a speech to the troops and a bizarre moment where he bragged (again) about passing a dementia test, the question practically asks itself: is Donald Trump okay? What’s definitely not okay is the economy. SNAP benefits are set to expire this week, Americans are struggling to afford groceries, healthcare, and basic necessities, and somehow, Trump’s still talking about himself and his absurdly unnecessary ballroom. This morning, Don is joined by friend of the show Reecie Colbert to break down Trump’s decline, his delusions, and the very real pain everyday Americans are feeling while he plays emperor.

Something strange is happening in the media, and it’s not subtle. From silencing progressive voices to hiring outspoken MAGA cheerleaders, the mainstream press seems to be slowly bending the knee to Trump. Networks are playing it safe, executives are terrified of backlash, and reporters are being told what not to say. The result? A media landscape that looks a lot more like a MAGA echo chamber than a free press. Tonight, Don is joined by media reporter Max Tani and journalist LZ Granderson to break down how we got here, who’s responsible, and what it means when journalism starts taking marching orders from the man who once called it “the enemy of the people.” This episode is sponsored by Henson Shaving.

Don sits down with Dr. Frita, a triple board-certified physician specializing in nephrology, hypertension, and diabetes, to talk about the growing questions surrounding Donald Trump’s health. After reports surfaced that Trump recently underwent an MRI, the White House insists it was “routine.” But Dr. Frita isn’t so sure, and she breaks down what that really means, what doctors look for in an MRI like this, and what the signs might tell us. It sounds like the former president might not be as healthy as he wants everyone to believe, and we’re here to separate medical facts from political spin. 🍋 Learn more about your ad choices.

Across the country, ICE detentions are growing more horrific and inhumane by the day. Families are being torn apart, people are disappearing into detention centers, and the silence from those in power is deafening. This morning, Don asks the hard questions: How far will this go, and what can we do about it? He’s joined by Rick Wilson, political consultant and co-founder of The Lincoln Project, and Katie Phang, lawyer, commentator, and former MSNBC host. Together, they break down the politics, the legality, and the moral crisis unfolding in real time. This episode is sponsored by Henson Shaving.

The two also dive into the deep polarization dividing America, and Darren shares what he believes it will take to rebuild trust, empathy, and common purpose in this moment.

Don sits down with former Washington Governor Jay Inslee to talk about how Trump’s presidency has devastated clean energy progress and cost American jobs. Inslee explains how Trump’s administration used funding cuts as political retribution, punishing states that didn’t support him by gutting renewable energy projects and stalling innovation. But in the end, it’s ordinary Americans, not politicians, who pay the price. A must-watch conversation about the future of clean energy, political revenge, and what’s really at stake for our planet and our economy. Learn more about your ad choices.

So apparently Steve Bannon announced in an interview that Donald Trump will run for a third term. Because, you know, why start following the Constitution now? We’ll break down this latest descent into delusion, and Trump’s childlike meltdown over Canada’s anti-tariff ad. (Yes, he’s mad at Canada again. Cue the tiny violins.) Joining Don tonight is comedian Jay Jurden, who’s bringing the laughs as we try to make sense of the nonsense. Because sometimes the only way to deal with this circus is to laugh at it. 🍋 This episode is brought to you by ZBiotics.

Don takes a hard look at Vivek Ramaswamy’s rise and reckoning inside the Republican Party. He was supposed to be the GOP’s perfect pitch: a biotech millionaire, an “anti-woke” crusader, and a proud MAGA loyalist. But now, Ramaswamy faces the brutal truth about the party he’s been trying to impress, the same one that keeps reminding him he’ll never truly belong. From racist attacks at Turning Point USA events to outright bigotry from conservative icons, Don breaks down how Ramaswamy’s story exposes the hypocrisy and the deep contradictions at the heart of today’s Republican movement. Smart, sharp, and unapologetically honest, this is one you don’t want to miss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Did she notice signs of Biden’s mental decline? How did she feel about Kamala Harris’s campaign? And what does she think the path forward looks like for an increasingly divided America? Karine Jean-Pierre tells all, the pressure, the politics, and the truth behind the headlines. This episode is brought to you by ZBiotics.

What is going on in American politics right now? From Stephen Miller’s long-documented ties to white-nationalist circles, to reports that Paul Ingrassia bragged about having a “Nazi streak,” to revelations that Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner appears to have a Nazi-themed tattoo, it’s all beyond disturbing. Tonight, Don digs into how we got here, why this extremist rhetoric keeps resurfacing, and what it says about the state of our politics and our country. This episode is brought to you by ZBiotics.

Remember the “Don’t Tread on Me” crowd? The folks who stormed the Capitol screaming about freedom, small government, and their sacred right to the Second Amendment? Funny how quiet they’ve gotten now that actual rights are being stripped away. This morning, Don’s breaking down the hypocrisy, how the same people who once claimed to “stand up for liberty” suddenly have nothing to say when it’s other Americans under attack. Turns out, “Don’t Tread on Me” really meant “Don’t tread on us… everyone else is fair game.” This episode is brought to you by ZBiotics.
