The Don Lemon Show

Good morning Lemon Nation. It's a sad sight to see the demolition of the White House's East Wing. When Trump is doing so much damage to the country, in just about every perceivable way, seeing literal destruction of The People's House hits hard. And building a $250 million dollar ballroom during a government shutdown? When hundreds of thousands of government works are furloughed? And millions are struggling to find jobs? It's downright cruel. Join Don at 10am to dive into the next chapter of MAGA cruelty. This episode is brought to you by ZBiotics.

Hi Lemon Nation. Have you seen these recent photos from the White House? After saying that construction would not "interfere" with existing white house structure, Trump has begun to tear down part of the East Wing in order to build his new "ballroom." Is there a better metaphor for what he is doing to this country than literally tearing down parts of the White House? Also, yet ANOTHER GOP n*zi scandal?! Is anyone surprised? Join Don at 5pm to break all of this craziness down. This episode is brought to you by ZBiotics.

Good morning Lemon Nation! What a weekend we had! No Kings day protests were HUGE! They were also lively, peaceful, energetic, and near 7 MILLION people showed up. This large show of patriotic outcry was enough to scare Trump into posting an absurd AI video of himself, in a fighter jet, dropping $h!t on top of protesters. I think we got to him...

Good evening Lemon Nation. A man who claimed to be an ICE officer was arrested in Florida for driving under the influence and reckless child endangerment.

ProPublica is reporting that more than 170 U.S. citizens have been held by Trump's immigration agents. Because the government does not track these stats, we don't know the exact number. This includes a dozen election officials. In addition, Karoline Leavitt said today that the "Democrat Party's main constituency is made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals." Looking ahead to No Kings Day, there is much to discuss. Join Don at 5pm EST to break this all down. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Hello Lemon Nation. Yesterday, Trump gave an unhinged press conference from the Oval Office. Joined by Kash Patel and Pam Bondi, he continued to describe non-white mayors of U.S. cities as "low IQ" or "medium IQ", expressed which of his political enemies should be targeted next, flaunted the administrations "passion" for fighting "crime" in cities, and implied that if we knew what Stephen Miller really thought, he'd fit right in with recent GOP group texts. Speaking of n*zi behavior, there was a swastika/American flag photo found in congressman Dave Taylor's office as one of his staffers conducted a virtual meeting. Join Don at 10am to break down this concerning pattern among the GOP. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics. Go to https://zbiotics.com/LEMON use LEMON at checkout for 15% off first time orders.

Good morning Lemon Nation! While Trump may think he is winning over his base, the loudest of them all are starting to speak out against his many terrible policies. Joe Rogan? Candace Owens? Marjorie Taylor Greene?! The list continues to grow, in particular with Trump's ICE policies, his allowing of a Qatari Emeri air force facility to be built in Idaho, Trump's relationship with Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel, and of course the EPSTEIN FILES. Don will also be joined by Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive running for Senate in Michican. Tune in at 10am for all of this and more! This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Across the country, ICE is ramping up its horrific tactics, detaining people in the dead of night, separating families, and terrorizing communities. The images are gut-wrenching, and the outrage is growing. But so are the protests. People are taking to the streets, demanding humanity, justice, and accountability. Tonight, Don breaks down what’s really happening, why this moment feels so bleak and why it’s exactly when we need to stand up, speak out, and refuse to look away.

We’re starting the morning with a story that’ll make your blood boil. Don speaks with a man who was detained, let’s be real, kidnapped, by ICE and held for hours. The kicker? He’s an American citizen. So much for the whole “we’re only going after criminals here illegally” narrative. Yeah… that’s not true. Then, Don shares his interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. It's a powerful and personal conversation about her new book, life since the election, and what keeps her grounded amid all the chaos. You won’t want to miss this one, truth, heart, and a few jaw-dropping moments. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.
