The Supreme Court just handed down a major ruling limiting the ability of lower courts to issue nationwide injunctions, all in the context of a case involving birthright citizenship. On the surface, it's a legal technicality. But let's be real, this decision severely curbs the power of the judiciary to stop unconstitutional actions from the Trump administration in their tracks. Translation? If Trump tries to roll out sweeping, unlawful policies, it'll be a lot harder to block them right away. So what does this mean for immigrants, for the courts, and for the fight to hold the government accountable? Join Don and Monique Pressley as they break down what just happened, why it matters, and how this might be one of the most quietly dangerous rulings of the year.

Despite swirling questions about his ties to Donald Trump, past investigations, and a record that has plenty of New Yorkers side-eyeing City Hall, Adams says he's ready for round two.

As the Diddy trial nears its end, closing arguments are underway, and all eyes are on the jury. After weeks of shocking testimony and intense scrutiny, the case is heading into its final stretch.

The Trump administration is getting real defensive about the Iran situation, and this morning's Pentagon press conference didn't exactly inspire confidence. Pete Hegseth, in full Real Housewives energy, took to the podium to defend the U.S. strikes and came off… petty, agitated, and possibly hungover? Was he channeling national security or Bravo drama? Either way, the spin isn't spinning, the answers aren't answering, and the world is watching. Let's break down the latest chaos and what it means for America on the world stage.

Oh, Donald… please don't embarrass us in front of the other world leaders. With the NATO Summit underway, all eyes are on Trump, and not for the right reasons. From bizarre past performances to the NATO chief now referencing Trump being called “daddy,” the international stage is already bracing for chaos. Allies are nervous. Diplomats are sweating. And Americans? Mostly cringing. Join Don Lemon as we break down how Trump continues to be a walking diplomatic incident, what this means for global relations, and why “world leader” might just be the biggest stretch in his résumé.

Rob enjoys a Turmeric, Ginger, Lemon soda from Culture Pop during an East Coast heat wave.  He talks/raps/ sings about staying cool during a swampy summer, how different styles of music change your vibe and learning to let things play out.  

Well, that escalated quickly. In a stunning upset, progressive Zohran Mamdani obliterated Democratic establishment favorite Andrew Cuomo in the NYC mayoral primary. While insiders predicted a close race, few expected a landslide, and certainly not this fast of a concession from Cuomo. So, what does this overwhelming victory mean for the general election? And more importantly, what should the Democratic Party take away from voters so loudly rejecting the old guard? Don is joined by political commentator  @JackCocchiarellaShow  to break it all down: what just happened, why it matters, and how this shift could reshape the party's future. Hint: ignoring progressives clearly isn't working. Tune in. This episode is brought to you by MSI United States. Every woman deserves a choice.

What if you built a billion-dollar fitness empire — and then had the courage to tear it down for something better?In this powerful episode of The Big Silence, Karena Dawn sits down with Carl Daikeler, founder of Beachbody (now known as BODi), the man behind household names like P90X, Insanity, Shakeology, and Morning Meltdown 100. But this isn't just a story of success — it's a brutally honest look at motivation, body image, entrepreneurship, and the daily mental work it takes to keep going when things get hard.From growing up backstage in a Pennsylvania theater to running a global health brand with over a million users, Carl shares the emotional, mental, and spiritual tools that have kept him moving forward. You'll hear about the behind-the-scenes challenges of rebranding from Beachbody to BODi, the surprising role Broadway played in his journey, and his no-BS take on fitness fads, GLP-1s, and tech obsession.Are We Measuring Fitness Wrong?Carl and Karena unpack the myths of the wellness industry — including why the best fitness “tech” is already inside you.(00:01:50) The Birth of Beachbody: A Brand Built for People Who Hate Working OutCarl created Beachbody to help impatient, goal-oriented people get consistent without loving fitness.Success didn't come from being a guru — it came from being a relatable customer.“Day one to day done”: Programs need structure, not endless motivation.Community was always the secret sauce: message boards before social media.(00:09:30) From Infomercials to Shakeology to MLM: Lessons in IterationP90X's breakout success during the 2008 recession changed the game.Word-of-mouth became the strategy behind the multi-level model.“The customer who solves their lifestyle problem deserves the reward.”Carl defends the ethics and intent behind Beachbody's direct sales shift — and why it had to evolve.(00:15:43) GLP-1s, Obesity, and What the Industry Is Getting WrongCarl's stance: These meds are tools — but not solutions without resistance training and nutrition.“Lifestyle change is so hard… but if you can monetize your consistency? That's powerful.”The secret pill culture from the ‘90s is back — but smarter wellness demands a full-picture approach.Fitness tech is great — until it overrides your intuition.(00:18:46) Carl's Morning Routine: Cold Plunges, Kefir & Spinach ShakesWake-up time: ~5–6 AM, no alarm.Lemon water + ginger + olive oil + kefir shot = ritual jumpstart.3.5-minute cold plunge followed by a 45-min workout.Weekend DIY meal prep keeps him on track — and surprisingly, he hates vegetables.(00:24:00) The Power of Persistence: What's Made Him Relentless“It's about the objective — even if it's just influencing one person.”Reads company case studies and biographies to stay grounded.Avoids victim mindset: “Self-pity invites fear, and fear kills creativity.”Expansion, not perfection, keeps him engaged after 27 years.(00:28:34) Why He Changed “Beachbody” to “BODi” — And Faced the BacklashBeachbody = outdated ideals; BODi = well-being and “health esteem.Carl wanted his kids to grow up with a healthier message around body image.Despite board resistance, he pushed the rebrand through for long-term values.“Do I want to be known for six-pack abs… or for helping people love themselves enough to take care of themselves?” (00:33:32) Where Fitness Needs to Go: Simple, Sustainable, and...

Good morning, Lemon Nation! Today, we're diving into the rapidly escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. After Trump loudly declared a ceasefire, it took less than a news cycle for both countries to go back to lobbing missiles and insults. And now Trump, clearly frustrated, has responded with a quote for the history books: "They don't know what the f** they're doing."* Well, the same could be said of the so-called dealmaker-in-chief. His self-proclaimed peace plan has collapsed faster than his approval ratings post-parade. What does this mean for the region? For America? For the world? Let's break down the fallout, the global implications, and why diplomacy via tantrum rarely ends well. This episode is sponsored by 120 Life.

Trump's so-called “ceasefire plan” collapsed in what feels like record time. Tensions between Iran and Israel are still boiling over, and the deal he touted as a diplomatic win? DOA. We'll break down what went wrong, what happens next, and why Trump's foreign policy “wins” keep slipping through his fingers. Then we'll pivot to the heat, literal and political, in New York City. It's Election Day, and voters are hitting the polls in the middle of one of the hottest days the city's seen in years. Will the weather sway the outcome of the Cuomo vs. Mamdani showdown?

Tensions are rising, and fast. Iran has just launched a retaliatory attack on a U.S. base in Qatar, following American strikes over the weekend. Is this the final move in an already dangerous game of escalation… or just the beginning? Don breaks it all down. Then we pivot to the political circus unfolding a little closer to home: the NYC mayoral race. Don is joined by former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner and tech culture journalist Taylor Lorenz to unpack the chaos, cross-endorsements, and what this race says about the future of Democratic politics.

Trump's legal losing streak continues! Today, we're breaking down two major court rulings that just smacked down the Trump administration's overreach. First up: A federal judge ordered the release of Mahmoud Khalil, calling his detention an unlawful retaliation for his pro-Palestinian views. The judge didn't mince words, saying there's real evidence that immigration charges were being weaponized to punish protected speech. You know, that pesky Constitution Trump keeps forgetting about? Then, we turn to Harvard where another court ruled that Trump cannot block the university from enrolling foreign students. Turns out, xenophobia isn't a legal strategy. These back-to-back courtroom losses are a reminder that authoritarian vibes might play well at rallies, but they don't hold up in court. Let's get into it. This episode is sponsored by Shopify.

Donald Trump says he'll make a decision about U.S. involvement in Iran… in two weeks. Sound familiar? That's because “two weeks” has become Trump's go-to stall tactic for everything, from healthcare plans to tax returns to infrastructure. So what's really going on? Is this strategic ambiguity, political theater, or just a guy who doesn't know what he's doing? Join us as we unpack Trump's latest delay, what it could mean for the escalating crisis in the Middle East, and why this “two-week” promise might be the biggest lie on loop.

It's official, the MAGA meltdown has begun. As Trump stumbles toward another foreign policy disaster, this time with Iran, some of his most loyal far-right cheerleaders are suddenly slamming the brakes. Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Charlie Kirk… yes, those people… are now speaking out against Trump's reckless escalation and apparent thirst for war. Is this a principled stand or just performative outrage? Either way, the MAGA movement is eating itself, and we're here for the chaos. Join us as we unpack the growing rift inside Trump's base, the danger of this Iran brinkmanship, and why even the worst people sometimes get something right… accidentally. Bring snacks.

New York City Comptroller Brad Lander was arrested by ICE after peacefully questioning whether or not they had a warrant. Can ICE even arrest U.S. citizens? Brad will join us live to walk us through what happened and why he's not backing down in the face of Trump's increasingly authoritarian playbook. Then, we're diving into a bombshell breaking story: new accusations surfacing against media mogul Tyler Perry.

Joining us to break it all down is TMZ's own Charles Latibeaudiere, with the latest on what's been confirmed, what's being alleged, and where things may go next. Then we pivot to the brewing civil war inside MAGA world. Turns out not all of Trump's loyalists are on board with his Iran stance. Are we witnessing a real split or just another attention grab? And finally, Pete Hegseth's Senate Armed Services Committee hearing was not the flex he thought it would be.

Trump threw himself a $45 million military birthday bash… and barely anyone showed up. The tanks rolled. The jets flew. But the vibes? Flat. The crowd? Sparse. And the headlines? Brutal. Now, the fallout begins. Join Don Lemon, Michael Fanone, and the Jolly Good Ginger as they break down what went wrong, why this parade flop matters, and what it reveals about Trump's slipping grip on public support. From the staggering price tag to the no-show allies to the contrast with the massive No Kings protests, this isn't the flex Trump hoped for.

The Israel-Iran conflict is spiraling, and fast. After days of strikes and mounting civilian casualties, tensions in the region are hitting a boiling point. And now, Donald Trump is inserting himself into the chaos, publicly urging people to “immediately evacuate Tehran.” (Helpful? Not really. Alarming? Absolutely.) As the possibility of U.S. involvement grows, we're asking the real questions: Is this how World War III starts? What's actually happening on the ground? And how much of this is driven by Trump's need for distraction after his humiliating parade flop?

In today's livestream, we dive into the shocking news out of New York City: Democratic Comptroller Brad Lander has been arrested by ICE. Yes, you read that right...ICE. Since when does Immigration and Customs Enforcement have the authority to arrest U.S. citizens, let alone elected officials? Lander's so-called “crime”? Asking to see a warrant. This is the latest in a disturbing pattern of crackdowns on dissent and Democratic voices. First Senator Padilla, now this.

Well, that was...underwhelming. Trump's $45 million birthday bash-slash-military-parade was supposed to be a flex. Instead, it flopped harder than his NFT collection. Sparse crowds, low energy, and, according to many who watched, absolutely boring. Meanwhile, the No Kings protest turned into something historic. Data analysts are reporting it may be the largest protest in U.S. history. The streets were packed, the message was clear, and no tanks were needed to get people to show up. So...remind us again who's got the momentum? Join us as we unpack the embarrassing contrast, the wasted taxpayer dollars, and why Trump's obsession with spectacle can't hide the growing dissent.

Erick has a Switch 2, but Zack didn't get his Nintendo Switch—and there's a reason why. Zack told Erick he should try Wet Lemon Pepper wings instead of the regular ones he usually has. Erick talked about what he did last Sunday, and you'll find out why we didn't have a show. Erick was watching Denzel Washington action movies, including one where an actor who usually plays a good guy was the villain. Zack brought some beef jerky for Erick to try on the show while he answered F-k, Marry, Kill questions. All of that and so much more on today's show.     Links: The Podcast IG Erick Feiling Website Erick Feiling IG Zack Stack IG Comedian Erick Feiling

The tiny creatures lurking in your backyard could change your life forever. Shira Haid knows this reality all too well, having battled severe tick-borne illnesses that left her unable to walk or speak. Today, she's turning that painful experience into purpose through her educational platform, Lemon or Lime.What began as a website has blossomed into a YouTube channel and growing social media presence dedicated to demystifying tick-borne diseases like Lyme, Babesia, and Bartonella. Shira's mission is clear: provide the resource she desperately needed during her own diagnostic journey that took three years and left her disabled.Throughout our conversation, Shira shatters dangerous myths about tick-borne diseases. The CDC's claim that ticks must be attached for 36-48 hours to transmit disease? False – some infections can transfer in just 15 minutes. That famous bullseye rash everyone associates with Lyme? Only 20-30% of patients ever develop it. And the notion that ticks only exist in wooded areas of the Northeast? Wrong again – they're virtually everywhere except Antarctica, including desert states at higher elevations.Perhaps most alarming is Shira's discussion of co-infections and emerging threats like Alpha-gal syndrome, a tick-transmitted condition causing potentially life-threatening allergic reactions to mammalian products – including medications. With 70% of pharmaceuticals containing mammalian ingredients, this presents a frightening challenge for affected patients.For those concerned about prevention, Shira offers practical advice: treat clothing with permethrin, use Picaridin lotion on exposed skin, perform regular tick checks, and maintain shorter lawn heights. Hunters and hikers should consider specialized clothing with elastic cuffs that prevent ticks from accessing skin.Connect with Shira on YouTube and Instagram @LemonorLime (remember, that's Lyme with a Y!) and join her mission to raise awareness about these devastating but preventable diseases.Send us a text Are you living with a chronic illness and want to make your voice heard?

In a shocking and brutal display of authoritarian overreach, Senator Alex Padilla was forcibly removed from a Kristi Noem press event in Los Angeles. And by “forcibly,” we mean tackled and dragged to the ground by Noem's security detail because apparently asking questions is now a punishable offense. So… this is where we are now? Elected officials being physically assaulted for showing up in their own state? Is this Kristi Noem's version of “law and order”? Or just more of the GOP's ongoing war on decency, democracy, and basic human rights?

Last night, Israel launched strikes on Iran, an unprecedented escalation that has global leaders on edge and many wondering: are we staring down the barrel of World War III? Meanwhile, back home, things aren't looking any more stable. In Los Angeles, the Trump administration continues to back its unconstitutional deployment of the National Guard to silence protesters. And just when we thought the authoritarianism couldn't get any more blatant, Senator Alex Padilla was detained and dragged out of a Kristi Noem press event for asking questions. Yes, really. Trump once claimed he'd “end the wars.” Instead, it looks like he's starting new ones, both abroad and at home.

Just one day before Trump's multi-million-dollar birthday military parade, the world is teetering on the edge of global conflict. After Israel launched strikes on Iran, Iran retaliated, and now, the U.S. is reportedly stepping in. Because nothing says “peace through strength” like a potential world war... and a massive military parade. While tensions in the Middle East explode, Trump is busy polishing tanks for his party and pretending everything's just fine. Meanwhile, Americans are bracing for the fallout, both literal and figurative. Is this the brink of World War III? Or just another day in this surreal reality show we call politics?

The tide is turning, and people are done staying quiet. Let's take a look at the growing chorus of voices speaking out against Donald Trump and his inhumane policies. From celebrities to lawmakers, folks are using their platforms to say what needs to be said. Kim Kardashian called the ICE raids what they are: inhumane. Tyler Perry and Doechii used their time at the BET Awards to call out Trump directly. And Eva Longoria took to social media to slam the cruelty of ICE detention practices. The message is loud and clear... enough is enough. While Trump tries to rule by fear, intimidation, and bad faith birthday parades, people are standing up and calling him out. Let's talk about who's speaking up, why it matters, and what happens next. WE HAVE MERCH!!

In this week's episode, Tay is back for another girl-talk episode with content creator and beauty advocate Golloria! Born in South Sudan and raised in the U.S., Golloria opens up about her early experience as a refugee, the bullying she faced growing up, and how she found confidence and community online.

Golloria gets honest about maintaining integrity as a creator, the boundaries she sets with social media to protect her peace, and whether launching her own beauty brand could be in her future. Plus, she answers the Lemon 7, including the moment she'd go back to, her favorite form of self-care, and the most misunderstood thing about her!Be sure to follow Golloria on https://instagram.com/golloria/ and https://tiktok.com/@golloria!To email us your questions or share your story, you can reach out to lautner.thesqueezepodcast@gmail.comBe sure to rate, review, and follow the podcast so you don't miss an episode!

The Trump administration keeps turning up the heat. First the National Guard, now the Marines. But is this military escalation really about maintaining peace, or manufacturing chaos? The media's showing burning cars and chaos in the streets, but folks on the ground in LA are telling a very different story. Let's cut through the smoke (literally and figuratively) to ask: what's actually happening in Los Angeles? Is this response about safety or about optics and control? And how much is too much when it comes to sending in troops against American citizens? Join us as we separate fact from fear-mongering and expose the reality behind the headlines.

Elon Musk is backpedaling again. After throwing some spicy shots at Donald Trump, he's now walking them back, saying he regrets his posts. Awww. Is this the end of their billionaire bromance feud? Or just a pause in the circus? Meanwhile, new reports reveal that the Fort Bragg soldiers at Trump's speech were handpicked for optics, carefully curated to look the part and hold the "right" political views. Sound familiar? It's all part of the lead-up to Trump's upcoming birthday parade: a pageant of loyalty and empty spectacle designed to distract from his mounting failures. Join us as we unpack the performative politics, the carefully staged military photo ops, and the Musk-Trump melodrama. It's not leadership, it's just propaganda in a red tie. WE HAVE MERCH!!

What started as protests against ICE raids has spiraled into something far more dangerous. Despite California officials saying they had things under control, Trump has now deployed not just the National Guard, but marines and even more National Guard to Los Angeles, all without the state's consent. Governor Gavin Newsom is calling it what it is: federal overreach. So… is this a violation of states' rights? Is Trump trying to provoke violence for political gain? And if this can happen in California, what's stopping it from happening in your state next? Let's break it all down. The power grab, the escalation, the implications.

Don Lemon sits down with friend of the show and retired D.C. police officer Michael Fanone to unpack the latest descent into chaos. From the military escalation in L.A. (where the only thing being protected is Trump's ego), to MAGA's ongoing war on accountability, to the bizarre plans for Trump's upcoming birthday parade, they break it all down. Why is Trump acting like a dictator on tour? And why are so many people still cheering him on? Tune in for facts, fire, and zero tolerance for fascism. This episode is brought to you by Beam.
