DOCKET ALERTS:Joe Dye begins a series on the second phase of the redistricting wars at his Substack. Multiple states are threatening to tax payouts from Trump's slush fund at 100 percent. The Trump Administration is suing Massachusetts for failing to give “confidential,” hard to trace license plates to ICE and CBP.A panel of federal judges in Alabama once again rejected the state's congressional map as an illegal racial gerrymander. The state has appealed to SCOTUS.Don Lemon moved to unseal the grand jury transcript in the Cities Church protest prosecution. He cited the recently unsealed magistrate's docket, showing the government's wild overreach — not to mention incompetence — in its warrant applications, along with the many cases where courts have said the DOJ is currently lawless and entitled to no presumption of regularity.The New York Times had a wild story this week about the Justice Department's total loss of credibility with grand juries, including in Wyoming, where the US Attorney's total violation of grand jury rules led to the dismissal of nine indictments.MAIN SHOW:The US Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois is reportedly investigating E. Jean Carroll for perjury. In a deposition in 2022, Carroll misspoke and said that her litigation was not being funded by anyone else. She later corrected the record to say that some of her fees were being paid by a nonprofit associated with LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman. The government is trying to do to that nonprofit what it's done to the Southern Poverty Law Center, alleging that it somehow conspired to hide its activities by getting Carroll to lie under oath.Meanwhile, the SPLC is moving to dismiss its case based on vindictive prosecution. Luckily it has eleventy-seven clips of Trump officials declaring that they're on a revenge mission to take out the civil rights organization.In non-political news, a drag queen named Pattie Gonia is in a trademark dispute with the brand Patagonia.

This morning, we've got a lot to unpack. First, we head to Tennessee to break down the escalating redistricting fight and growing concerns about efforts critics say could dilute Black voting power. Justin J. Pearson joins us to discuss what's happening, what's at stake, and why this battle could have major implications beyond Tennessee. Then we pivot to the midterms and the fight for young voters with political pollster and strategist Joshua Doss and activist Cameron Kasky. Are Democrats doing enough to energize younger voters, and could turnout determine the future of the election? And finally, we tackle growing concerns around hantavirus with friend of the show Dr. Frita. What is it, how does it spread, and how worried should people actually be?

Tonight, we break down the escalating redistricting battles happening across the country and the growing concerns about MAGA efforts to reducing Black political representation. In Virginia, the only redistricting map that was actually approved directly by voters has now been overturned by the state Supreme Court. So what does this mean for voting rights, representation, and the future of democracy heading into the midterms? More importantly, what can people actually do about it? Then we pivot to growing concerns around hantavirus after reports that two people in New Jersey may have been exposed. What is hantavirus, how serious is it, and how worried should the public actually be? Don is joined by political analyst and author Tiffany Cross to break it all down.

This morning, we break down the latest twists in the Iran crisis as the U.S. waits on Iran's response to a proposed framework aimed at ending the conflict. The messaging continues to shift by the hour, talks, threats, ceasefires, sanctions, military pressure...it's becoming increasingly difficult to tell what the actual strategy is anymore. We'll also discuss Secretary of State Marco Rubio's visit to the Vatican to meet with Pope Leo XIV after months of tensions fueled by Donald Trump's repeated attacks on the pope over the Iran war and other issues. Then we pivot back to the growing list of legal and political cases raising concerns about the state of American democracy, including the Louise Lucas case and broader questions about the use of government power, political retaliation, and election interference fears ahead of the midterms.

Tonight, we break down the latest developments in the Iran war as confusion continues around the ceasefire, the Strait of Hormuz, and what the administration's actual strategy is supposed to be. Then we turn to a series of legal and political battles raising major questions about power, accountability, and the state of American democracy. Donald Trump is again trying to avoid paying E. Jean Carroll, this time with help from a Justice Department argument now headed toward the courts. Meanwhile, the FBI raided the office of a Virginia lawmaker tied to a redistricting push, and Kash Patel is facing scrutiny after reports that the FBI is investigating The Atlantic. The growing use of government power for political pressure, personal grievances, and revenge is beyond concerning. So where is the line, and what happens when the institutions meant to protect democracy are increasingly used to destroy it? This episode is brought to you by Aura Frames.

This morning, we break down the nonstop confusion surrounding the Iran war. Is the conflict winding down, or are we right back on the brink again? The messaging keeps changing by the hour. One minute the ceasefire is “holding,” the next there are new attacks in the Strait of Hormuz and fresh threats flying back and forth. And then there's the Strait itself. The administration's latest “goal” is to reopen it… even though global shipping was flowing before this conflict spiraled in the first place. Meanwhile, gas prices remain painfully high and Americans are left wondering what exactly the strategy is supposed to be. Then we turn to the primaries, where early polling and election results are giving Democrats reasons for optimism heading into the midterms. With Trump's approval numbers slipping and cracks continuing to show inside MAGA, is the political landscape starting to shift? This episode is brought to you by Aura Frames.

This morning, we break down the staggering wealth on display in and around the Trump administration, and the growing disconnect between those at the top and everyone else. While many Americans are dealing with rising costs and economic uncertainty, Donald Trump's finances, and the benefits flowing to those in his orbit, are under increasing scrutiny. At the same time, the ultra-elite are gathering for events like the Met Gala, sponsored by Jeff Bezos, in a moment that feels… a little out of touch.

Tonight, we break down yet another surreal moment out of the White House. Donald Trump gathered a group of kids in the Oval Office to revive the Presidential Fitness Test… and somehow turned it into a rambling, off-script spectacle. What was supposed to be a lighthearted event about fitness quickly veered into talk of war, politics, and familiar election claims, leaving even the kids in the room looking a little confused. From discussing the Iran conflict in stark terms to revisiting long-debunked narratives, the moment raised a bigger question: what are we actually watching unfold here?

This morning, we take a hard look at a growing pattern. What happens to the institutions, policies, and crises Donald Trump touches? From his handling of COVID to ongoing economic strain and rising gas prices, critics argue that decisions at the top have contributed to instability at home and uncertainty abroad. America's global standing is being questioned, and even the sense of a shared reality feels more fractured than ever. How much worse can it get? This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Tonight, we break down new, eye-opening polling showing that a majority of Americans now question whether Donald Trump is mentally and physically fit to serve as president.

This morning, we break down the state of the U.S. economy as rising gas prices and a growing affordability crisis hit Americans where it hurts. Costs are climbing, and people across the country are feeling the strain. Then we turn to the escalating situation in Iran and the administration's approach to the conflict, including concerns about the lack of congressional authorization for military action. So how much worse can things get, and what does it all mean for the road ahead? This episode is sponsored by 120Life. Go to https://120Life.com—and use code DON for 20% off.

Tonight, we break down Donald Trump's latest claims on the Iran conflict, insisting he doesn't need congressional approval because “hostilities have ended.” But here's the problem: U.S. forces are still in the region, tensions are still high, and legal experts say the War Powers law doesn't just magically disappear because you declare things “over.” So what is this really?

What a day we've had, Lemon nation. The Supreme Court voted 6-3 to strike down what remained of the Voting Rights Act. This ruling essentially deals a death blow to the nations most important civil rights law. On Capitol Hill, Pete Hegseth sat before the House Armed Services Committee and was grilled about how much money this war is costing Americans. It wasn't pretty. Join Don and guests to break down the day.
This morning, we break down the latest Voting Rights case out of Louisiana and what it means for the future of American elections. A new Supreme Court decision just gutted the Voting Rights Act, significantly limiting its ability to combat racial discrimination. Then we pivot to the ongoing rhetoric wars out of Washington. The Trump administration continues to accuse Democrats of using dangerous language… which would be easier to take seriously if Donald Trump wasn't constantly spewing vile, hateful rhetoric against anyone who dares to question him. So what's actually at stake, and who gets to define what counts as “too far”? This episode is brought to you by Aura Frames. Save now on the gifts moms love.

Tonight, we break down the latest Voting Rights case out of Louisiana and what it means for the future of American elections.

This comes at a critical moment, with growing fears about how election rules are being shaped ahead of the midterms and who those changes could impact most. Don is joined by Congressman Jim Clyburn and friend of the show Monique Pressley to break down what's at stake, what this ruling actually does, and what it could mean for voters across the country.

This morning we come to you live with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's hearing before the House Armed Services Committee. He will attempt to answer questions about the Pentagon's budget but will likely complain, flounder, and become defensive. Also, did you see King Charles' remarks in front of Trump and his minions yesterday? His dry British humour perhaps went over their heads but we have some good clips to show. Tune in Lemon heads!
Don sits down with political analyst and friend of the show Mike Nellis to break down Pam Bondi's possible Epstein testimony, the NEWEST James Comey indictment, the indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center, and how the Trump's and MAGA are ALWAYS playing the victim!

This morning, we break down the fallout from the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting and how quickly the narrative has shifted. From new security concerns to the administration now pushing for Trump's long-desired White House ballroom, the political spin is already in full swing. At the same time, Donald and Melania Trump are lashing out at Jimmy Kimmel over a joke, blaming harmful rhetoric for putting them in danger. This claim is raising more than a few eyebrows given the absolutely vile content coming from the president on a daily basis. And just when it seems like the focus has shifted, it's back to Epstein. Renewed attention, fueled in part by King Charles' visit, is bringing the issue right back into the spotlight. This episode is sponsored by 120Life.

Tonight, we break down the breaking, and frankly absurd, news that former FBI Director James Comey is being indicted again… this time over a social media post that said "8647" in reference to Donald Trump. The move is already raising serious questions about proportionality, political motives, and whether this is about enforcing the law or escalating personal and political grievances to a whole new level. Because at a time when the country is dealing with major global and domestic crises, we're prosecuting over social media posts . So what's really going on here, and how did we get to this point?

Don Lemon's rebuttal to the press briefing gets a full look here, including a pointed critique of CNN's Dana Bash and the network's habit of false equivalence when covering Democratic opposition to the Trump administration. The Jimmy Kimmel controversy takes center stage after Kimmel's mock White House Correspondents' Dinner joke about Melania Trump drew condemnation from both Melania and Donald Trump, who called for ABC and Disney to fire Kimmel immediately. Karl Rove, famously nicknamed "Turd Blossom" by George W. Bush, weighs in with a surprisingly measured take. King Charles and Queen Camilla's visit to Washington gets scrutinized, with Steve Schmidt of the Lincoln Project raising serious concerns about normalizing a visit to a White House responsible for global economic instability and an escalating conflict with Iran. Prince Andrew's connection to the Epstein files adds another layer to questions about the timing of the royal visit.Tucker Carlson as the 2028 Republican frontrunner and Candace Owens' influence on young voters also come up.

This morning, we break down the shocking shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner and the confusion that followed. An armed suspect breached a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton and opened fire, prompting Secret Service to evacuate Donald Trump and other top officials. A suspect has been taken into custody, but beyond the immediate facts, the story has quickly become more complicated. Questions are mounting about security gaps, conflicting early reports, and the flood of conspiracy theories spreading online. At the same time, Trump and his allies are already assigning blame and using the incident to push broader political arguments, including renewed calls for a White House ballroom. So what actually happened, and why does the narrative seem to be shifting so quickly? Boston Globe's media reporter Aidan Ryan and Semafor's media editor, Max Tani, were on the ground at the dinner during the shooting. They join us this morning to break it all down.

Tonight, we break down the fallout from the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting, what the administration is saying, how the messaging is evolving, and what comes next.

While many on the left suspect the incident was staged, the broader issue lies in the willingness of the White House Correspondents Association to honor a man who labeled the media the enemy of the people for over a decade. The presence of Brendan Carr, chair of the FCC, highlights the ongoing threats of punitive actions against the press for unfavorable coverage. The discussion centers on the complicity of the media, particularly white men and white women, who continue to support or normalize these power dynamics. Don Lemon publicly refused to attend, highlighting the discomfort of pretending everything is normal while the physical safety of journalists is threatened. While 92% of black women voted for Kamala Harris, statistics show a different story for other demographics, leading to the argument that there are no white victims in a second Trump term, only volunteers. The desire to reschedule the event stems not from patriotism, but from a need to berate the press directly. Journalists seem prepared to grovel for access journalism, accepting misogyny and insults to remain close to power. This cycle of desensitization to gun violence and the surrender of the media to those who demean them reflects a troubling shift in democracy and government.

Tonight, we break down a moment where everything feels on the brink. Donald Trump's approval ratings are sliding, with recent polls showing support stuck in the mid-30s as frustration grows over the Iran war and rising costs at home. At the same time, the situation in Iran remains volatile. A fragile ceasefire is holding, but barely, while there's still no clear strategy or endgame in sight. With conflicting messaging, rising global tension, and trust in leadership eroding, who can we actually believe right now? And more importantly, what comes next if this fragile moment falls apart?

Donald Trump is getting some bad news. His approval ratings are sinking, with some polls showing support dropping into the mid-30s as frustration grows over the Iran war and rising gas prices. The economic pain is real. Gas prices have surged, and a majority of Americans now blame Trump for it. Meanwhile, public support for the war continues to erode, and even within his own party, cracks are starting to show. Add in the constant back-and-forth messaging and increasingly erratic tone, and the question becomes unavoidable: is the MAGA grip starting to slip? This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

- Chris Murphy openly celebrates false Iranian propaganda about ships breaking the blockade, then scrambles to call it “sarcasm” after getting torched. - The episode frames Murphy and the Democratic left as openly rooting for U.S. failure in Iran because a Trump win is politically intolerable to them. - Trump warns that the ceasefire is hanging by a thread, and the tone shifts from hopeful dealmaking to the real possibility that bombing resumes fast. - Virginia becomes the domestic warning sign, with Democrats using ruthless redistricting to choke off Republican seats while GOP leadership barely fights back. - The 2028 Democratic bench is mocked as a circus of radicals, grifters, and media creatures, from Kamala Harris's incoherence to Don Lemon floating a presidential run.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 76: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: The OTHER part of Dementia J. Trump’s vile, multi-religion blasphemous Easter post is the operative part “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge day… “There will be nothing like it… “You’ll be living in Hell… "Just watch…” All that was followed four hours and 35 minutes later by quote “Tuesday 8:00 PM Eastern Time," plus phone calls to his media stenographers: If there’s no deal Monday he’s quote “blowing up the whole country” and “I am blowing up everything over there." What that is, is at least a threat to use tactical nuclear weapons against Iran. Even if it’s JUST a threat, or the “nuclear” part is hyperbole, it is still a threat to use massive amounts of conventional ordnance but Trump of course has longed to use nuclear weapons since the first term, asking his generals why we had them if we didn’t use them. He wants to. He's a sadist who wants to see people die. And of course, he IS crazy: “I know him… and… he has gone insane.” Marjorie Taylor Greene said that. Oh and her postscript, as she joined our Club Reality: “Our president is not a Christian.” This is still all about the Strait of Hormuz, which Trump said was irrelevant and would open itself and about which he has held 28 public positions in the last 35 days. So here we are. Tomorrow is either TACO Tuesday or Thermonuclear Tuesday. THE ALTERNATIVE VIEW: This is Trump's fault regardless, but could he have been manipulated into it by a soft-rollout Military Coup against the civilian government, led by Hegseth and the other religious nuts in the Pentagon? And when did this America actually go off the rails? You can point at the day Trump came down the escalator it didn't extend to hell. You could look at the sign-on of Fox News Channel. Just as relevant: January 19, 2009 and one of the last decisions by a President-Elect who taught future Republican leaders that the laws would not be enforced against them. B-Block (48:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Jeff Shell, who is one of the two people primarily responsible for scuttling my planned return to MSNBC in 2019-20-21, is about to get fired as a network president for the second time in three years. Sometimes I wonder: could it be me, and not them? In this case, I don't wonder. Plus Rep. Andy Ogles, baseball's Texas Rangers (MLB is boasting of 40% diversity; they rolled out an opening day line-up of 10 white guys and a statue of a Texas racist, and those who pushed a pastor claiming Trump was about to be the recipient of biblical "golden showers" make up the rest of the list. C-Block (1:02:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: A lot of the yap on Threads over the weekend was about the late lamented food chain "Boston Market" and who killed it. Well, my bad, that was me. The story of the brilliant commercials I did for them that worked so well, but every time it worked it cost them $12!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Don Lemon, the former CNN anchor turned independent journalist, talks to Alex Wagner about the charges the Department of Justice brought against him for covering an ICE protest inside a Minnesota church.
