The Don Lemon Show

This morning, Don is taking a hard look at the state of the economy, and let's be honest, it's bad. Prices keep climbing, families are feeling the squeeze, and according to a new AP-NORC poll, Donald Trump's approval ratings are continuing to fall. Despite the mounting evidence, the Trump administration is still insisting everything is fine. Reality says otherwise. Then we pivot to breaking news out of Congress: Marjorie Taylor Greene is reportedly trying to oust Speaker Mike Johnson on her way out the door. Yes, really. Even as she prepares to leave Congress, she's lighting one last match, and the MAGA infighting just keeps devouring itself. Economic denial. Political chaos. A movement eating its own. We're breaking it all down. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics. Go to https://zbiotics.com/LEMON and use LEMON at checkout for 15% off first time orders. This episode is sponsored by Aura Frames.

Tonight we're breaking down the absolute disaster that was Homeland Security Secretary, and self-proclaimed “puppy killer,” Kristi Noem's appearance before the House Homeland Security Committee. It did not go well for her. Democratic lawmakers tore apart her talking points, pressed her on the inhumane detention conditions happening under her watch, and exposed just how flimsy her defenses really are. The pressure got so intense that Noem actually left the hearing early, a stunning move for someone supposed to be leading a federal agency. And that wasn't all. Protesters showed up to confront her policies directly, making sure the cruelty happening around the country stayed front and center. Join us tonight as we unpack the meltdown, the hypocrisy, the evasions, and the growing backlash against Noem's leadership. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

This morning we're taking a closer look at something that's becoming harder and harder to ignore: Donald Trump's apparent mental decline. From forgetting statements he made the day before, to wandering aimlessly on stage, to random bursts of anger that have no connection to reality, it's clear something is not okay here. Republicans want to pretend this is normal. The media tiptoes around it. But voters are watching a man unravel in real time while insisting he's the picture of strength and stability. We'll break down the latest clips, the contradictions, the outbursts, and what this all means for the country. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Tonight, Don is joined by Former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner to break down the absolute disaster that was Donald Trump's rally yesterday. It was a masterclass in why he is unfit to be president. Period. Trump's speech was overflowing with racist claims, economic lies, and delusional nonsense that had no grounding in reality. Instead of offering solutions, he offered fear. Instead of leadership, he delivered chaos. And instead of addressing the pain Americans are feeling, he chose to inflame divisions and invent achievements that simply do not exist. Don and Nina dive into the messaging, the meltdown, the consequences, and the growing danger of a candidate who has completely detached from truth. This was absurd. This was alarming. And it's time to talk about it. Join us live. This episode is brought to you by Graza. Take your food to the next level with Graza Olive Oil.

This morning we're breaking down Donald Trump's latest rally, and wow, unhinged doesn't even begin to cover it. What was supposed to be a reset for Republicans on affordability somehow spiraled into a deranged, racist rant about immigrants, complete with fearmongering, nonsense, and the usual dose of projection. Meanwhile, Trump completely ignored the very real economic pain Americans are feeling. Instead, he doubled down on the fantasy that his economy is "the best ever.” This is not remotely true, but when has that stopped him? We'll unpack the lies, the rhetoric, the delusion, and what this means for a GOP that keeps insisting this is the guy who can turn things around. This episode is brought to you by Graza.

Tonight we're diving into the ongoing feud between Marjorie Taylor Greene and Donald Trump, a very public breakup that lays bare just how deeply MAGA is fracturing from within. Once one of Trump's loudest defenders, MTG is now openly distancing herself from the former president...and he is not taking it well. This is more than political drama, it's a full-blown MAGA implosion, with two of the movement's most iconic figures turning on each other. What caused the split? Who's telling the truth? And what does this mean for the future of the MAGA coalition? To help us unpack the chaos, we're joined by lawyer, political commentator, and podcaster Katie Phang, along with journalist Garrison Hayes. They'll help us make sense of the legal angles, the political fallout, and the deeper cracks now showing in the movement Trump built. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Don sits down with friends of the show Wajahat Ali and Joy Reid to talk about the current political climate and the pervasive, deeply entrenched system of white supremacy that continues to pit working-class Americans against one another. Together, they explore what real solidarity looks like, how communities can resist being manipulated, and what it will take to build a more honest, equitable political culture.

This morning we're breaking down the growing and deeply alarming effort by MAGA forces to take control of mainstream media. From corporate shakeups to strategic acquisitions to coordinated pressure campaigns, the signs are becoming harder to ignore. They want to reshape the news in their own image and silence anything that challenges their narrative. We'll look at how this takeover is happening, why it matters, and what it means for truth, democracy, and the future of journalism. Because this isn't just about media politics, it's about who gets to shape reality for millions of Americans. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Check out this conversation from last week, where Don sits down with Tommy Christopher to break down the latest media shakeup and the Warner Bros. Discovery/Netflix deal, a move that could reshape the entire media landscape. What does it mean for journalism, entertainment, and the future of news? They also dive into Donald Trump's recent comments about Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and Somali immigrants, remarks that were disgusting, vulgar, and blatantly racist. Don and Tommy unpack why these statements are so dangerous and what they signal about the escalating rhetoric coming from Trump and his allies. Learn more about your ad choices.

Tonight, we confront the shocking reality of the ICE detentions that continue to surface. Each new piece of footage is more inhumane than the last, revealing conditions that no person should ever be subjected to. This is cruelty on full display, and it's getting worse. Don breaks down how far this system appears willing to go, and what we can do to stand up, speak out, and demand accountability. Then, we turn to the major shakeups in the media world. A wave of firings, acquisitions, and restructuring has many observers warning that MAGA is attempting to consolidate mainstream media into a partisan, propaganda-style machine. Is this a coordinated media takeover? What does it mean for the future of journalism, truth, and democracy? And should we be worried? This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Don addresses the recent disgusting rhetoric from Donald Trump, starting with him calling a reporter “Piggy,” and escalating into a full-on racist tirade targeting Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and Somali immigrants. It's vile. It's dangerous. It's racist. And it is absolutely unacceptable from anyone, let alone the president. Don breaks down why this rhetoric is so harmful, how it fuels hate and violence, and what it reveals about Trump's increasingly unhinged desperation. This isn't just words. It's part of a long pattern of dehumanizing attacks designed to divide, distract, and incite. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This morning we're diving into the chaos sparked by Milo Yiannopoulos, who is now accusing several right-wing influencers and media personalities of being gay, comments that are already leading to threats of legal action. But beneath the spectacle lies a bigger question: What is it with MAGA's constant, obsessive fixation on the LGBTQ community? From smear campaigns to conspiracy theories to outright harassment, the movement keeps circling back to the same tired bigotry. Then we'll pivot to the latest updates in the Hegseth Venezuela boat strike scandal. Many are calling for the release of the video from the strike, footage that could clarify who gave the orders and what actually happened. Yet the full tapes have yet to be released. Why? What are they protecting? And who is making that call? This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics. Go to https://zbiotics.com/LEMON and use LEMON at checkout for 15% off first time orders.

It's Friday, and tonight we're unpacking a massive week of news because the Epstein story just took another seismic turn. Earlier today, a Florida judge ordered the release of the Epstein grand jury transcripts, a stunning development that could reveal who knew what and who may have helped shield Epstein for years. This comes just days after the House Oversight Committee released a mountain of never-before-seen images and videos from Epstein's island, raising even more questions about why the full files still haven't been made public. We'll also break down the latest in Donald Trump's escalating war on birthright citizenship, as he pushes new attacks on constitutional rights in yet another attempt to reshape immigration policy through fear and legal overreach. And tonight, we're joined by friend of the show Francesca Fiorentini, who will help us make sense of the madness, the politics, and the fallout from a week that hasn't slowed down for a second.

This morning we're taking a hard, honest look at the state of the country. The economy is wobbling, unemployment is skyrocketing, families can barely afford groceries, and yet the Trump administration continues to insist we're living in the “strongest economy ever.” The disconnect couldn't be more insulting. Meanwhile, the Hegseth Venezuela boat strike scandal is still growing, with new details raising even more serious questions about legality, leadership, and accountability. And to make matters worse, the Supreme Court has now allowed Texas to move forward with its new redistricting map, a decision that could hand Republicans up to five additional seats, reshaping power in Washington for years to come. So the question becomes: What do we do? How do we fight back? And how do we hold onto hope in times this bleak? This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Don sits down with journalist and friend of The Don Lemon Show Ahmed Baba to break down all the major news of the day. They dive into the latest developments in the Hegseth Venezuela boat strike scandal, where questions of war crimes and accountability continue to grow. They also unpack the newly released images from Epstein's island, discussing what they reveal, why they're so unsettling, and the ongoing fight to get the full Epstein files released to the public.

Tonight we're breaking down the latest developments in the Hegseth Venezuela boat strike scandal, a story that just keeps getting darker. Was it a war crime? Many experts say yes. Others are calling it outright murder. But the biggest question remains: Will anyone in this administration ever face accountability? The answers so far aren't reassuring. We'll walk through the newest reporting, the shifting White House explanations, and the mounting pressure on Pete Hegseth as this scandal continues to grow. And tonight, Don won't be unpacking it alone. We're joined by our very own Lemon Legends, who will weigh in, ask questions, and help break down all the latest twists and turns.

Don sits down with Congressman Robert Garcia, the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, to discuss the newly released photos and videos from Jeffrey Epstein's island. House Democrats unveiled the material this week, and the images are both creepy and unsettling. Don and Congressman Garcia break down what these visuals show, why they matter, and the bigger question on everyone's mind: Why haven't the full Epstein files been released yet? Who is stalling? What's being protected? And how much more does the public deserve to know? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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.

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.

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 one's going to be spicy.

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.

Tonight we're diving into Pam Bondi's absolutely disastrous press conference where she dodged and danced around every question, somehow managing to say nothing at all. It was a mess, and it raised even bigger questions about what the Trump administration is planning next. Are they preparing to block the release of the Epstein files? Are they trying to limit what the public gets to see? We'll break down her evasive answers, the political signals she tried (and failed) to send, and what all of this might mean for transparency, accountability, and the fight to get these files released.

Don is joined by friend of the show Dr. Frita to break down two horrific recent cases in which Black women in labor were denied the medical care they needed. In one instance, a woman was turned away from the hospital entirely and forced to deliver her baby in her car. Dr. Frita explains why these are not isolated incidents, but part of a much larger and deeply rooted problem: a medical system that routinely minimizes, dismisses, and fails to take Black women's pain seriously. These stories reflect a pattern of medical racism that can be traumatizing and even deadly. Together, Don and Dr. Frita discuss what went wrong, why it keeps happening, and why calling out these failures is essential if we want real change and accountability in America's healthcare system.

This morning we're taking a closer look at something we haven't seen in a long, long time: Republicans are finally starting to turn on Donald Trump. His approval rating is sliding, key allies are distancing themselves, and a few lawmakers, the same ones who used to trip over each other to defend him, are suddenly finding their spines. So what's going on? Is this the beginning of the end for MAGA? Are people finally realizing that Trump is a lame-duck president with shrinking influence and even fewer allies? Join us live as we break down the shifts inside the GOP, the public polling, the panic behind the scenes, and what this unraveling could mean for 2026 and beyond.

Tonight we're going live to break down the big news out of the House: the bill to release the Epstein files has officially passed, and it wasn't just bipartisan, it was nearly unanimous. Only one member voted no. This is a major hurdle cleared, even though the bill still needs to get through the Senate. So what happens next? Will the names in these files finally face real accountability? And with Donald Trump suddenly insisting he's for releasing the files, will he actually allow it to happen once the documents land on his desk? We'll go through the vote, the reactions, the political fallout, and what this could mean for survivors, for Congress, and for anyone tied to Epstein's network. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

In this video, Don takes a closer look at Megyn Kelly's very rough week. It started with her baffling attempt to downplay Jeffrey Epstein's crimes by insisting it wasn't “actually pedophilia.” People were left wondering what on earth she meant, because the victims were children. Full stop. Any effort to soften what Epstein did is not only absurd, it's dangerous. But Megyn didn't stop there. She then walked straight into a joke she once mocked Mehdi Hasan for, accidentally becoming the punchline of her own hypocrisy. Don breaks down what she said, why it was so disturbing, and how the whole saga exposes a deeper pattern in conservative media of rewriting reality when the truth is inconvenient.

Tonight we're diving into Donald Trump's Oval Office comments from today, comments that make it clearer than ever that he is melting down under the pressure of the Epstein file scandal. For the first time in a long time, Trump seems rattled. And very aware that this might be the moment his grip on the MAGA base finally slips. As Republicans fracture, excuses fall apart, and his own allies start distancing themselves, the question becomes: what now? Can Trump recover from this? Or are we watching the beginning of the end of his power over the movement he built? Join us live as we break down the fallout, the panic, and what this upheaval could mean for the 2026 landscape.

In this episode, Don is joined by former D.C. police officer and friend of the show Michael Fanone to break down the viral moment that has everyone talking: a Texas state trooper appearing to intentionally and aggressively shoulder-check South Carolina wide receiver Nyck Harbor right after his touchdown. What was the point of this deliberate act of hostility? Why was an on-field law enforcement officer acting with such unnecessary aggression toward a student-athlete? And most importantly, should this trooper face real consequences for his actions? Don and Fanone take a closer look at the footage, the reaction from fans and players, and what this incident says about policing, power, and accountability. Learn more about your ad choices.
