Is there trouble in MAGA paradise? Marjorie Taylor Greene seems to be drifting from the Trump script. From her stance on the Epstein files to a few surprising recent comments, she's starting to sound… almost woke? Tonight, Don and our very own Lemon Legends dig into the growing rift inside the MAGA movement. Is this the beginning of a real fracture in the party, or just more political theater? Either way, the drama is loud, and we're breaking it all down. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics. Go to https://zbiotics.com/LEMON use LEMON at checkout for 15% off first time orders.

For years, MAGA has been screaming about President Biden's mental fitness, but have you seen Donald Trump lately? The forgetting, the fumbling, the full-on confusion… it's giving “not all there.” This morning, Don is joined by Reecie Colbert to dive into Trump's mounting mental misfires, from mixing up names and dates to rambling word salads that make no sense.

Are we staring down another civil war? The country feels like it's on the edge with more troops being deployed to U.S. cities, ICE ramping up its inhumane raids, and MAGA politicians fanning the flames every step of the way. Tonight, Don is joined by The Atlantic's Tom Nichols to break down how we got here, what this moment means, and where we go next. Then, the one and only D.L. Hughley joins the show to bring the fire. MAGA is unhinged, and D.L. is saying what everyone else is too afraid to say. Buckle up. It's going to be a night of truth, chaos, and no filters. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

The Trump administration is continuing their fascist war on blue cities around the country while Pam Bondi attempts to defend herself and MAGA in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Let's be real, the MAGA politicians don't care about you. With the government shut down, healthcare under attack, the National Guard deployed across the country, and ICE brutalizing communities, it's hard not to feel exhausted by just how bleak things seem. But this is not the moment to check out, it's the moment to stand up. Tonight, Don is joined by NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson to talk about why vigilance matters more than ever, how we can fight back, and how this moment compares to the injustices of the past. It's raw, it's real, and it's a reminder that silence is never an option. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics. Go to https://zbiotics.com/LEMON use LEMON at checkout for 15% off first time orders.

The news cycle is pure chaos...National Guard deployments, horrific ICE detainments, and a government still shut down. Things are looking pretty bleak right now. This morning, Don is joined by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to break it all down, from what's really happening behind closed doors in Washington to why holding the line is more important than ever for Democrats. It's a can't-miss conversation about power, principle, and pushing back against the madness. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Good morning Lemon Nation. We've watched ICE brutalize communities for months, most recently in South Shore Chicago where children were dragged naked from their homes in the middle of the night. Trump and his MAGA goons are out of control and fascism is no longer a hypothetical. Join Don at 10am EST today to hear why we can't be apathetic in this time of crisis!

The government is still shut down, ICE raids are terrorizing communities across the country, and the cruelty is off the charts. It's despicable, but the question is, what can we actually do to speak out and push back? Then, Don is joined by Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, who's making headlines for promising to vote to release the Epstein files… if only Speaker Mike Johnson would let her be sworn in. Funny how that works, huh? Buckle up, it's going to be a night of truth, outrage, and a healthy dose of side-eye. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

The government has officially shut down, and if you think things feel rough, it's because they are. Republicans control both the House and the Senate, but instead of owning up to their mess, they're busy pointing fingers at Democrats and spinning lies to cover their tracks. Tonight, Don is joined by our very own Lemon Legends to break it all down. From the chaos in Washington to what it means for everyday Americans, we'll dive into just how screwed we all are and maybe find a few reasons to laugh through it. This episode is sponsored by Ollie.

This morning we will show you live from outside of a New York courtroom as Diddy awaits his sentencing. In July he was found guilty of transportation of former girlfriends for prostitution while acquitted of the harsher chargers of racketeering and sex trafficking.

The government is shut down, but MAGA is wide open for lies. Despite controlling both the House and the Senate, Republicans are spinning this mess as somehow the Democrats' fault. Their latest tall tale? That Democrats are pushing “free healthcare for all illegal immigrants.” That's not even remotely true. What Democrats are fighting for is accessible, affordable healthcare for Americans, something MAGA politicians clearly don't care to protect. And if that wasn't enough nonsense for one morning, we'll also be unpacking Megyn Kelly's latest attack on Don. She's spinning her own brand of fiction, but Don's bringing the facts to set the record straight, and maybe a little shade, too. This episode is sponsored by Ollie.

The government has officially shut down, closed for business, thanks to MAGA's circus of incompetence. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are now facing lost paychecks, stalled services, and mounting uncertainty while Trump and his allies pretend this is somehow the Democrats' fault. It's not. Meanwhile, ICE is ramping up horrific arrests, and with Trump edging closer to full-on authoritarianism - deploying troops, silencing dissent, and pushing us toward a police state - the question isn't just when will this end? It's how much more can this country take? This episode is sponsored by Lean. If you want to lose meaningful weight at a healthy pace and keep it off... Add LEAN to your diet and exercise lifestyle.

The government is officially shut down, and MAGA is already working overtime to spin it as the Democrats' fault. Never mind the fact that Republicans control both the House and the Senate. The finger-pointing, the gaslighting, the lies…it's all peak Trump-era politics. Tonight, Don Lemon is joined by Anthony “The Mooch” Scaramucci, who's never been afraid to call BS when he sees it. Together, they'll break down how we got here, what it means for Americans, and why the GOP is once again trying to pass the blame for a disaster of their own making.

We are just hours away from a government shutdown, and let's be real, things are looking grim. Will Democrats hold the line or cave under pressure? Meanwhile, at today's event in Quantico, Trump decided to stoke even more division by warning about a so-called “war from within.” What exactly does that mean? And why does MAGA seem so eager to pick fights with their own neighbors? Don is live to break it all down: the looming shutdown, Trump's increasingly dangerous rhetoric, and what it all means for the future of this country. Buckle up...this sh*t is scary.

America is looking really embarrassing right now. Congress has just hours to avoid a shutdown, but MAGA is busy throwing tantrums instead of governing. Will Democrats hold the line, or fold under pressure? What does a shutdown actually mean for everyday Americans? Then we'll break down Pete Hegseth's cringey Quantico pep talk to the top generals, where he trotted out the same tired “anti-woke warrior” nonsense.

It's Monday morning, and the chaos from this weekend is still sinking in. Donald Trump now wants to send troops to Portland, Oregon, adding yet another city to his list of targets in this creeping police state. On top of that, we're reeling from two more horrific mass shootings, one at a church in Michigan and another at a waterfront bar in North Carolina. It's a lot to take in, but we're breaking it all down this morning, what it means for our democracy, our safety, and the future of this country. Grab your coffee, because we have a lot to talk about.

America feels like it's teetering on the edge. Tonight, Don breaks down all the chaos unfolding right now, from the looming government shutdown, to the near-daily horror of mass shootings, to Trump's threats of sending federal troops into cities across the nation. What comes next, how do we fight back, and most importantly, how do we stay sane when everything feels like it's unraveling? We're joined by Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield and writer Tim Wise to unpack the madness and chart a path forward together.

Don may be on the road, but that's not stopping him from bringing you your daily dose of Hot Topics. This morning's focus: the jobs report, and it's bad. We all expected ugly numbers, but this is worse than anticipated. So, who will Trump fire this time? Because apparently every economic downturn is someone else's fault or just “fake news.” But firings and finger-pointing won't hide the reality: the economy is hurting. What does this mean for America, and are we staring down the barrel of a recession? Don breaks it all down. This episode is sponsored by the Freedom from Religion Foundation.

A lot of you have been asking: what can we actually do to fight back against MAGA policies? Tonight, instead of our regular 5PM livestream, we're dropping a powerful conversation with two people taking action in very different ways. First, farmer and activist Will Westmoreland shares how he's meeting with Texas lawmakers to help them understand how their policies are hurting rural Americans. Then, Dr. Jamal Bryant walks us through his boycott of Target in response to the company's retreat from DEI commitments. Fighting back is possible, and these stories show how it's being done on the ground, right now.

It's the Friday before Labor Day weekend, and Don is inviting you into the kitchen as he cooks up breakfast and breaks down the news of the day.

Tonight, we're joined by Jen Psaki to break down the horrific school shooting in Minneapolis, and to respond to some of the absurd commentary on the tragedy. Because of course, instead of solutions, MAGA serves up nonsense. Then we'll be joined by Dr. Frita to dive into the latest bombshell out of the CDC, where RFK Jr. and the MAGA crowd are trying to reshape public health policy. Spoiler: it's not about science, facts, or even common sense. It's pure ideology dressed up as policy, and the fallout could be catastrophic.

This morning, we're looking at how MAGA's policies aren't just reckless, they're deadly. First, the horrific school shooting in Minneapolis. Will it lead to meaningful legislation to prevent the next one? Of course not. Just another round of empty “thoughts and prayers” while nothing changes. Then we turn to the bombshell news out of the CDC, where RFK Jr. and the MAGA crowd are pushing to reshape public health policy. But these changes are not based on science, facts, or even basic logic. It's ideology over evidence, and the consequences could be catastrophic. Because under MAGA, it's never safety first. It's politics first, lives second. This episode is sponsored by the Freedom from Religion Foundation. Don't let your rights be rewritten.

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. The real question is: will this tragedy finally move lawmakers toward common-sense gun legislation, or will it be used by MAGA voices to fuel more division and hate? We'll discuss what comes next, and what can be done to prevent these kinds of heartbreaking tragedies in the future. Our thoughts tonight are with the victims, their families, and the entire Minneapolis community. This episode is sponsored by the Freedom from Religion Foundation. Don't let your rights be rewritten.

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.

Key topics discussed include: IRS Targeting Churches: They highlight a report about IRS investigations into First Baptist Church of Dallas, spurred by complaints from the Freedom from Religion Foundation. The church faced scrutiny after its pastor, Robert Jeffress, invited political figures to speak, raising concerns about the church's tax status and free speech. Federal Surveillance: Mark and Amber reference declassified documents revealing that the Biden administration authorized monitoring of certain groups, including military personnel and gun owners, considered to hold "xenophobic" beliefs, indicating a pattern of targeting conservative viewpoints under the guise of combating domestic terrorism. Political Engagement: They discuss the significance of Christians engaging in political discourse without fear of backlash, stressing that standing for truth is vital for progress in societal matters, including matters of faith and governance. Recent Legislation in Colorado: They cover legislation that classifies misgendering children as coercive control. This, they argue, is part of a broader cultural trend that threatens parents' rights and the well-being of children. Remembering Phil Robertson: Amber and Mark honor the late Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty, recalling his genuine testimony and impact as a Christian figure. ***SHOW NOTES*** Biden memo let feds target Americans for 'non-criminal behavior' before Catholics, parents probed https://justthenews.com/accountability/political-ethics/declassified-biden-admin-domestic-terror-memo-authorized-agencies?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter IRS Targeted Top Evangelical Christian Churches https://www.toddstarnes.com/faith/irs-targeted-top-evangelical-christian-churches/ BOMBSHELL: Biden Admin Classified COVID Critics As “Domestic Violent Extremists,” Newly Released Documents Show https://www.infowars.com/posts/bombshell-biden-admin-classified-covid-critics-as-domestic-violent-extremists-newly-released-documents-show How Parents Blocked The Radical Child Custody Part Of Colorado's New Transgender Law https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-parents-blocked-the-radical-child-custody-part-of-colorados-new-transgender-law?topStoryPosition=undefined&author=Mairead+Elordi&category=Analysis&elementPosition=3&row=1&rowHeadline=Top+Stories&rowType=Top+Stories&title=How+Parents+Blocked+The+Radical+Child+Custody+Part+Of+Colorado's+New+Transgender+Law&fbclid=IwY2xjawKhR3xleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETFtS1RhSmp2b3pscWdpUlNvAR4F4n87U1aFiDIiPQ49Z98bqUmNJToYu53qZRLwtY4gKRyCYW2pWJPtWkkS2Q_aem_lDyUcy1u8f5Z7FGBElpPZA

In this thought-provoking conversation, Dan Barker, a former evangelical preacher turned prominent atheist and co-president of the Freedom from Religion Foundation, explains the current state of separation of Church and State, the influence of Catholicism on the Supreme Court, and the ongoing debates surrounding public education and religious symbols. Barker also discusses the legal challenges tackled by his organization, and introduces “Contraduction,” a new philosophical concept that reexamines how beliefs and arguments can reverse in order and meaning. Plus, the moral implications of belief systems and the fine-tuning argument for the existence of God, the nature of nothingness, and free will. Dan Barker is co-president of the Freedom From Religion Foundation, co-host of Freethought Radio, and co-founder of The Clergy Project. He worked 19 years as an evangelical minister and is a member of the Lenape (Delaware) tribe of American Indians. His new book is Contraduction.
