Podcast appearances and mentions of Don Lemon

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.

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.

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.

A necessary conversation about why conservatives blame liberals for the death of Charlie Kirk - and the destruction of basic decency and civility in America. Don Lemon gets body slammed by a black conservative. Harry Enten on Charlie Kirk's influence on swaying America's youngest voters to the right. And our audio of the day features a man wearing his very first suit, saying he's going to make his family, his God, and Charlie Kirk, proud.

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 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.

Independent journalist Don Lemon joins the Beast's Joanna Coles for a wide-ranging conversation unpacking Trump's health issues, the MAGA movement's big problem, and the night RFK Jr. had dinner with Don Lemon. The two dive into Trump's public appearance at the U.S. Open and ask what the mysterious blue object clenched in his mouth, seen in a candid photo, is. The two also take apart JD Vance's rise, calling him the kind of “DEI hire” conservatives pretend to hate. They dig into the contradictions of his wife Usha's background, the role Black Americans played in securing rights for immigrant communities, and why Trump still manages to suck all the oxygen out of every room.

For decades, Republicans have treated the Second Amendment like it was carved into stone tablets, sacred, untouchable, and immune to compromise. But apparently, there's a loophole: being transgender. Donald Trump's GOP, the same party that cheers open carry in churches and defends AR-15s in grocery stores, is now considering whether gender dysphoria should disqualify someone from owning a firearm. Instead of tackling the actual gun violence crisis, they're targeting less than one percent of the U.S. population. Don breaks down the hypocrisy, the cruelty, and the dangerous precedent of this latest attack on transgender Americans. Because once again, the GOP isn't interested in real solutions, it's about power, control, and weaponizing fear. This episode is brought to you by DeleteMe.

Tonight, we're covering the horrific breaking news out of Minneapolis, where a shooting at a Catholic school has left a community devastated. Reports now confirm that the shooter was transgender, a detail already being weaponized in public discourse.

This morning, we're breaking down Trump's absolutely unhinged cabinet meeting, a three-hour spectacle that looked less like governing and more like a loyalty pageant. One by one, his cabinet members took turns showering him with praise in a display that felt straight out of North Korea's playbook, not the United States of America. What have we come to? And more importantly, where are their spines? Let's talk about it. This episode is sponsored by the Freedom from Religion Foundation. Don't let your rights be rewritten.

Tonight, we're breaking down Trump's marathon cabinet meeting. Yes, more than three hours of chaos, delusion, and dictator cosplay. In between the usual round of butt-kissing from his loyalists, Trump mused (again) about being a dictator, bragged he can “do whatever he wants” as president, and doubled down on one unconstitutional policy after another. What even was this meeting? Governance? Theater? Group therapy for fragile egos? Either way, it was a spectacle, and we're here to unpack every absurd minute of it.

This morning we're asking the question making the rounds online: Is Trump dying? Speculation about his health is swirling after new images of his hands and ankles went viral, but is there any real evidence of a medical issue, or just more internet rumor fuel? We'll also cover the breaking news of Trump's attempted firing of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. Can he even do that? (Spoiler: probably not. But when has the law ever stopped him?) And finally, Jolly joins us live with coverage from last night's protest outside the White House because the people are not staying quiet.

Trump's military and police takeover of D.C. is in full swing, but people aren't just rolling over. Protests are erupting across the city, and friend of the show, Jolly, is live on the ground bringing you the latest from those pushing back against authoritarian BS. And if that weren't enough, Trump held a truly deranged Oval Office press conference today where he suggested that some people actually want a dictator. Excuse us? Hard pass. We'll break it all down because democracy shouldn't come with cosplay generals and dictator auditions. This episode is sponsored by the Freedom from Religion Foundation.

Good morning Lemon Nation! Today we're breaking down Trump's so-called “crackdown on crime” in D.C., you know, the city where crime rates are actually lower than they've been in years. Facts be damned, he's now floating the idea of sending troops into other left-leaning cities like Chicago and New York. Legal? Doubtful. Authoritarian? Absolutely. Are we now living in a police state? Sure feels like it. Then we'll turn to the economy. Remember when MAGA voters swore they backed Trump because of how “great” the economy was? Well, things are sliding downhill fast, and this looks like just the beginning. Grab your coffee. We've got a lot to unpack. This episode is sponsored by the Freedom from Religion Foundation.

Breaking news: the DOJ has released transcripts from its interview with Ghislaine Maxwell, and there are a few bombshells. Among them? Maxwell saying she doesn't believe Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide. But here's the real question: where are the Epstein files? The public gets Maxwell's spin, but the full truth, the names, the connections, the receipts, are still being kept under wraps. We're joined by Katie Phang to break down what's in the transcripts, what's missing, and why the biggest story is still the one they don't want us to see.

Breaking this morning: the FBI has raided the home of John Bolton, yes, Trump's former national security advisor turned outspoken critic. Once in the inner circle, Bolton's been on Trump's enemies list for years. So is this raid about justice, or just another revenge mission from a wannabe strongman desperate to punish his political critics? Because let's be real, this is starting to look less like governance and more like an authoritarian hit list. The question now: if Bolton can get raided, who's next?

After his dramatic breakup with CNN and failed partnership with Elon Musk's X, Don Lemon now has almost 800,000 subscribers on YouTube.

They also get his take on his former TV “friend,” Chris Cuomo, his thoughts on corporations “bending the knee” to the administration, and why he believes he'll eventually make more money on YouTube than he did at CNN.

This morning, we're asking the question: why is MAGA so angry? Seriously, why are so many of the white men in this movement constantly melting down? From JD Vance's whiny Fox News interview, to Stephen Miller's unhinged rant, to Sean Hannity's creepy obsession with Gavin Newsom...and of course Donald Trump, the human embodiment of a tantrum, it's meltdown after meltdown. The rest of us are just living through the consequences of their emotional instability. Let's break it down. This episode is brought to you by Ollie.

Tonight, Trump says he'll be “joining” police and troops in the streets of D.C. because nothing screams strength like a bizarre cosplay photo op. It's authoritarian theater at its finest, and we'll be breaking down exactly what this stunt means and why he's so desperate to play soldier-in-chief. Joining Don are our very own Lemon Legends, weighing in on the spectacle, the spin, and the reality behind Trump's latest strongman cosplay. This episode is brought to you by Ollie.

Every day under this administration feels like a fresh plunge into authoritarianism. Trump's MAGA enforcers, JD Vance, Pete Hegseth, Stephen Miller, and the rest of the goon squad, are working overtime to make sure his will is carried out, even if it steamrolls the Constitution and our personal freedoms. Tonight, we're breaking down the latest example: Washington, D.C., where the streets now feel less like the nation's capital and more like a full-on police state.

MAGA is in full meltdown mode. Lara Loomer and Marjorie Taylor Greene are clawing at each other again, Elise Stefanik just got booed off stage by her own constituents, and Trump...well, Trump is basically a walking tantrum at this point. First he deployed the National Guard in D.C., and now he's throwing a fit because someone reminded him that crime there is actually at a 30-year low. His solution? Claim the stats are fake. It's less a political movement and more a daycare with no supervision. This morning we're breaking down the chaos, the catfights, and the constant stream of MAGA meltdowns.

Things are heating up in Texas. Democratic Rep. Nicole Collier is literally being held on the House floor after refusing a mandatory escort. Yes, this is where we're at, Texas Republicans playing hall monitor while trying to bulldoze through their gerrymandered maps. We'll talk with Rep. Collier about what's next for Texas Democrats, whether others will join her act of defiance, and what this showdown means for the future of elections in Texas.

This morning, we're heading to Texas, where the GOP's gerrymandering circus is back in full swing. After a two-week standoff, Democrats who fled the state to block the vote are finally returning. So… what now? Does this mean the GOP gets their rigged maps, or is there still a fight to be had? And more importantly, what does this mean for the future of elections in Texas, and how will other states respond? Because if Texas pulls it off, you can bet MAGA lawmakers elsewhere will be taking notes. This episode is brought to you by Brickhouse Whey Protein.

Did anything meaningful actually come out of it, and what does it mean for the future of the Ukraine-Russia conflict?

In Washington, D.C., masked and unidentified officers violently detained a delivery driver, an incident that feels less like America and more like a bad dystopian reboot. What is this country coming to? And Trump isn't stopping there. He has suggested he could send troops into other Democratic-led cities in a full-on authoritarian flex to control places that don't support him. Constitutional? Not really. Dangerous? Absolutely. Let's break it all down, because if this is the new “law and order,” we should all be very concerned. This episode is brought to you by Brickhouse Whey Protein.

Joyce talks about evil in the world and how a Chinese National who was denied visa in Australia harmed an infant at random. Joyce also talks about Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem having to be moved to another secure location after new papers revealed her address. Marco Rubio shutting down the media over false information about European leaders visiting the White House and Zelenski. Don Lemon says the media shouldn't cover Trump, and Trump to end mail-in ballots and voting machines to end voter fraud.

Sam and Dylan are back to break down ancient creatures from space, Dark Smith's cognitive health and Don Lemon's powerful lip. We explore the mystery of mega metal men in the sky, the strange dance between Trump, Putin, and stealth bombers in Alaska, and why The New York Times can't stop lying.  We go deep on how AI companies are openly distorting reality, how Big Tech is deleting our language, and whether the future of truth itself is under attack. Plus, wild tangents about OnlyFans being run by the CIA, the blurred line between reality and simulation, and whether octopi are actually cosmic aliens that arrived from space

August 14, 2025; 6pm: Disturbing new reports emerge in the Epstein scandal, protests erupt over Trump's so-called DC takeover and California Governor Gavin Newsom launches a fiery attack electrifying Democrats. MSNBC's Ari Melber is joined by longtime journalist Don Lemon for a conversation on politics and culture, and Chance the Rapper discusses his new album.

What a day Lemon Nation! We ended Hot Topics with news that the FBI redacted multiple instances of Trump's name from the Epstein files. Soon after that we learned that Trump is moving Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum security prison in Texas. THEN it was reported that Trump has ordered two nuclear submarines in close proximity to Russia. Oh, and don't let us forget that in response to bad job numbers Trump has moved to fire officials in charge of labor statistics. What is reality anymore? Find out with Don at 5pm!
