The polls don't lie, though someone else sure does. This episode is brought to you by Magic Spoon. Get 5 dollars off your next order at https://MagicSpoon.com/LEMON.

Trump's name is in the Epstein files. It's confirmed. But instead of addressing it, he's doing what he does best: distraction, deflection, and a whole lot of shouting. From wild conspiracy theories to made-up scandals, he's throwing everything at the wall to keep us from looking at this. This morning, we're cutting through the noise and talking about what he really doesn't want you to see. The Epstein documents are out, and the former president is in them. So why hasn't he released the full files? Why is he suddenly ranting about everything from Windmills to Coca-cola? Join us live as we follow the chaos, track the spin, and remind everyone what Trump really wants you to ignore. This episode is brought to you by Magic Spoon.

Don sits down with Anna Merlan and Kiera Butler of Mother Jones for a deep dive into the dangerous world of RFK Jr. and the anti-vaccine movement he's helped supercharge.

Anna and Kiera have been on the front lines of reporting this disinformation campaign, and they're here to break it all down. This is a conversation about science, truth, and the real cost of conspiracy. This episode is brought to you by Mint Mobile.

Good morning, Lemon Nation! Let's dive into the latest twist: new video analysis suggests that footage from Epstein's jail cell may have been altered. Government officials, of course, say there's nothing to see here. Totally normal, right? Meanwhile, Ghislaine Maxwell is still dangling her offer to testify before Congress if she's granted immunity. You know, just minor immunity for a woman accused of helping run an international sex trafficking ring. And through it all, Trump continues to spiral, ducking the press and throwing out distractions like candy at a parade. The question isn't “What happens next?”...it's “How much worse can it get?” Tune in. We'll break it all down with receipts, reality, and just the right amount of rage.

Donald Trump's Obama obsession strikes again. From birth certificates to bogus treason claims, it's like he just can't quit him. Is it envy? Insecurity? A crush?

We've got whiplash-level updates on the Trump-Epstein-Maxwell mess. First up: Ghislaine Maxwell has reportedly offered to testify before Congress, but only if she gets immunity. Yes, immunity. From a woman accused by multiple victims of being even worse than Epstein? You can't make this stuff up. And just when you thought Trump couldn't make this situation any more unhinged, he goes and outdoes himself. After previously claiming he cut ties with Epstein because he was “a creep,” Trump now says it was actually because Epstein “stole” an underage girl from him. We'll just leave that there. Joining us tonight to unpack all of this is the brilliant Katie Phang and legal analyst Dina Doll. Buckle up, it's going to be a wild one.

The Trump-Epstein scandal has dominated headlines, sparked lawsuits, and triggered full-blown meltdowns from Mar-a-Lago to MAGA Twitter. But outside the media circus, what does the public actually think? Is the scandal breaking through, or are people tuning it out like another one of Trump's "perfect phone calls"? Let's dig into the public sentiment, polling data, and online reaction to see if this story has real staying power… or if Trump's latest distraction campaign is actually working.

Just when you thought the Trump-Epstein saga couldn't get weirder… Trump now claims he cut ties with Jeffrey Epstein not because of his predatory behavior, but because Epstein poached some of his employees. Seriously. Tonight, Don is joined once again by Mark Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein's brother, to break down the latest twists in this deeply unsettling and increasingly absurd scandal. Plus, we'll unpack Trump's desperate attempts to change the subject: accusing Obama of treason, calling for investigations into Beyoncé and Oprah, and lashing out at windmills (yes, again). It's chaos, but it's chaos with consequences. Let's get into it. This episode is brought to you by Magic Spoon. Get 5 dollars off your next order at https://MagicSpoon.com/LEMON.

Today, we're taking a moment to step back from the noise and focus on the heartbreaking reality unfolding in Gaza. With mounting civilian casualties, reports of mass starvation, and widespread devastation, more voices, both at home and abroad, are beginning to call Israel's actions what they are: potential war crimes. Don breaks down the latest developments in the Gaza-Israel conflict, the growing global outcry, and what justice and accountability might look like. This isn't about politics, it's about humanity. Let's talk about what's really happening, and why the world can't look away. This episode is brought to you by Mint Mobile.

Trump is spiraling, and the distractions are getting wilder by the day. First, it was accusing Obama of treason. Then came his sudden crusade to prosecute Beyoncé and Oprah (yes, seriously). And now he's ranting about windmills again. But let's be real, it's all an increasingly desperate attempt to shift attention away from the one thing he really doesn't want to talk about...the Epstein files. Despite once promising transparency, Trump's name is in the files, and now even some of his die-hard supporters are feeling duped. Is this the beginning of a MAGA mutiny? Or just another week in the circus? Join us as we break it all down with receipts, reality, and all the rage. This episode is brought to you by Magic Spoon.

Don Lemon sits down with political commentator and writer Ahmed Baba for a timely and wide-ranging conversation. Coming off the heels of Juneteenth, they reflect on what the holiday truly represents in today's political climate and how freedom, equality, and justice are still up for debate in many corners of the country.

Don Lemon sits down with journalist Josh Vaughn and elected official Lamont Jones to expose the horrifying reality inside Dauphin County Prison in Pennsylvania, infamous for having double the national average of inmate deaths. Josh has spent years reporting on the systemic abuse at the prison: from a 17-day solitary confinement blackout to inhumane conditions like freezing cells and medical neglect. Lamont, once incarcerated there himself, is now seeking justice after the suspicious death of his young cousin behind those same bars. Together, they created Death County, PA, a new podcast from Wondery that dives deep into the coverups, corruption, and devastating human cost of America's broken prison system. In a country where the President is pushing for more incarceration, not less, this conversation couldn't be more urgent. What does Dauphin County tell us about the future of American justice?
