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.

This morning, we’re breaking down Sunday’s memorial for Charlie Kirk. While some voices tried to keep the focus on Kirk without escalating tensions, Donald Trump and other MAGA officials seized the moment to push their political agenda and spew more hate at their opponents. What is this nation coming to? At a time when leadership should be about unity and healing, Trump is making it clear that his priority is anything but. Meanwhile, the debate over free speech rages on, and the future of our democracy hangs in the balance. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

While on the scene in Washington, Don Lemon sat down with Rep. Chuy García to discuss the Trump administration’s escalating attacks on immigrants in America. Rep. García didn’t hold back, warning that these tactics are beginning to resemble “the American Gestapo.” Who will be targeted next? How can communities fight back? And what can we do to stop this dangerous slide into authoritarianism? Don and Rep. García break it all down. This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

Good morning, we’re live with a major story shaking the media world. Jimmy Kimmel’s show has been pulled off the air after his comments about Charlie Kirk and Trump, comments MAGA didn’t like.

Jimmy Kimmel’s show has been canceled, the latest casualty in the Trump administration’s brazen attack on freedom of speech. Trump himself is now saying the media isn’t allowed to criticize him the way they do… excuse us, has he not heard of the First Amendment? And it doesn’t stop there. FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr is signaling that they may go even further. What comes next in this dangerous crusade against the free press? What does it mean for the future of democracy?

Tonight on The Don Lemon Show, we’re searching for answers. The killing of Charlie Kirk still leaves so many unanswered question, yet MAGA has wasted no time exploiting the tragedy to demonize the left.

Then, we turn to Mississippi, where the body of a Black student was found hanging from a tree at Delta State University. The investigation is ongoing, and the community is demanding answers.

Don sits down with Senator Jacky Rosen for a conversation about the state of the country. From skyrocketing food prices to the cost of healthcare, jobs, and overall affordability, the challenges her constituents in Nevada are facing are the same issues weighing on families across America. Sen. Rosen makes it clear that these aren’t partisan problems, they’re everyday problems. But while people are desperate for solutions, Trump continues to show he doesn’t care about actually fixing them. This is a candid look at where America stands right now, and what’s at stake if these issues aren’t addressed. This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

Good morning, we’re live from D.C. with the latest fallout after the murder of Charlie Kirk. MAGA leaders are now vowing revenge, with Pam Bondi going so far as to say that anyone engaging in so-called “hate speech” against MAGA supporters will be prosecuted. Let’s be clear, that’s not only chilling, it’s flat-out unconstitutional. Do they not understand the First Amendment, or do they just not care? Don will be joined by Tara Setmayer to break it all down: the rhetoric, the threats, and the dangerous precedent this could set for free speech in America. This episode is brought to you by ZBiotics.

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. But predictably, MAGA is already weaponizing this fact to fuel even more anti-trans hate. This moment is dark and deeply troubling, not just for the trans community but for all Americans who care about safety, truth, and equality. Don will break down what this means, the dangerous narrative being pushed, and why we can’t look away. Joining us tonight to break it all down is friend of the show, Reecie Colbert.

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. Pam Bondi is now floating the idea that certain comments will be labeled “hate speech” and prosecuted. 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? And what does it mean for the future of free expression in America? Let’s break it down. This episode is brought to you by ZBiotics.

Tonight, we’re once again digging into the MAGA response to the killing of Charlie Kirk, and it’s getting even darker. JD Vance and Stephen Miller are now vowing revenge, twisting the tragedy to claim that violence only comes from the left, and openly threatening to go after so-called “left-wing organizations.” How did we get here? At a moment when the nation desperately needs unity and calm, MAGA’s leaders are choosing to inflame division and stoke fear. It’s a grim reminder of just how dangerous this political moment has become. This episode is brought to you by ZBiotics.

From the fight against oligarchy, to the crisis in Israel and Gaza, to the generational and gender divides within Gen Z, no topic is off the table.

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.

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.
