The Don Lemon Show

Tonight, we’re bringing you voices from the ground. Don hit the streets to ask everyday people what they’re thinking about the state of the country, the economy, the political chaos, and the growing frustration boiling over across America. And one thing became very clear: a lot of people are fed up. Then we turn to the escalating fight over redistricting and voting rights. Don is joined by a Louisiana activist on the front lines battling maps and policies designed to weaken Black political power and silence voters. As more states push controversial redistricting efforts after the weakening of Voting Rights Act protections, many Americans are asking the same question: how do people fight back when the rules keep changing?

This morning, we break down all the latest chaos coming out of Washington, D.C.. Donald Trump is overseas in China praising Xi Jinping while continuing to spark questions back home about his behavior, messaging, and overall fitness for office. More and more people, including some former supporters, are openly asking what is going on. From rambling speeches to bizarre public moments, concerns about Trump’s mental sharpness are becoming harder to ignore, no matter how many times he points to passing a cognitive test. So what are Americans actually seeing, and why does the conversation around Trump’s mental state keep growing louder? This episode is sponsored by Lean.

Tonight, we break down the growing economic pain being felt across the country and the policies that are making it worse. Gas prices are soaring, recession fears are rising, and millions of Americans are struggling just to afford the basics. Yet Donald Trump told reporters he doesn’t spend much time thinking about the financial situation of everyday Americans. Yeah…that’s pretty obvious. Tonight, we’ll share exclusive footage of lawmakers reacting to those comments and discussing the growing frustration boiling across the country. But the criticism goes beyond rhetoric. Trump is now reportedly pushing the DOJ toward a settlement tied to his IRS lawsuit, raising new questions about whether taxpayers could ultimately be left footing the bill. And then there’s the White House ballroom project, which was initially pitched as something that wouldn’t cost Americans anything, but now appears likely to come with a public price tag after all. At a moment when people are struggling to pay rent, buy groceries, and fill up their gas tanks, many Americans are asking the same question: whose interests are actually being prioritized right now?

Don sits down with friend of the show Mike Nellis to talk about one thing Donald Trump just cannot seem to quit: Barack Obama. Obama appeared in Texas alongside James Talarico and Gina Hinojosa who are running for Senator and Governor of the state. Can Obama’s popularity and political influence actually help Democrats break through in Texas? At the same time, Trump continues firing off late-night Truth Social posts about Obama, keeping a years-long fixation alive long after Obama left office. Why is Trump still so focused on him? Is it politics, insecurity, strategy… or all of the above? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This morning, we break down the growing economic pain being felt across the country and the role Trump’s policies are playing in it. Gas prices are soaring, the cost of living keeps climbing, and recession fears are growing fast, with many Americans increasingly worried about what the next year could bring. People are struggling to afford basic necessities, and frustration is boiling over. Meanwhile, Donald Trump told reporters he doesn’t think about the financial situation of everyday Americans. Yes, Donald, that is painfully apparent. So how bad is the economy really getting, who’s being hit the hardest, and what happens if things keep spiraling in this direction?

Tonight, we break down the state of the American economy, and for a lot of people, things are feeling bleak. Inflation remains high, recession fears are growing, and millions of Americans are struggling just to keep up with the cost of basic necessities. Add in rising gas prices fueled by ongoing tensions and conflict abroad, and the pressure on everyday people keeps building. So how much worse could this get, and who’s actually paying the price? Then we pivot to the growing movement around sports and political protest. Calls are intensifying for athletes to boycott SEC events in states pushing racist redistricting plans that weaken Black political representation. Can sports create real political pressure? And could athlete activism actually move the needle? Tonight, Don is joined by activist and Tennessee State Representative Justin J. Pearson and sports journalist Jemele Hill to break it all down.

This morning, we break down the growing fallout from the latest redistricting battles and the mounting concerns about efforts aimed at weakening Black political representation across the country. From Tennessee to other states now pursuing similar strategies, the fight over congressional maps is becoming one of the biggest political stories heading into the midterms. Civil rights advocates warn these moves could dramatically reshape representation and voting power for years to come. So what exactly is happening, why are these battles escalating now, and what could it mean for the future of the midterms, and American democracy itself?We are joined by Texas State Representative Jolanda Jones, Anti-racism educator and author Tim Wise, and Politico senior political columnist Jonathan Martin.

Tonight, we dive into the controversy surrounding the recent roast of Kevin Hart. Critics say the event crossed the line into vulgarity, sexism, and racism, while others argue that nothing should be off-limits in comedy. So where is the line? Did it go too far? Don is joined by Chelsea Handler and Sheryl Underwood, who both participated in the roast, for a candid conversation about comedy, culture, free expression, and why these debates seem more heated than ever.

Good morning, Lemon Nation 🍋 A lot to unpack this morning. Iran has responded to Donald Trump’s latest proposal with a new set of demands that Trump is already calling “unacceptable.” So where does this go from here? Are we heading toward another escalation just as people were hoping tensions might cool down? Meanwhile, the redistricting battles continue to intensify across the country, with growing concerns about what these fights could mean for voting rights, representation, and the future of the midterms. And then there’s the growing hantavirus scare. Cruise passengers have finally been released, but 17 Americans are now being quarantined in Nebraska after possible exposure, and at least one American passenger has already tested positive. Health officials say this is not another COVID situation, but considering the history of our current healthcare officials, many people are understandably anxious. This morning, we’re joined by journalist Aaron Parnas to break it all down.

Another chaotic week is in the books, and the stakes just keep getting higher. From growing economic anxiety and rising costs to new polling showing increasing concerns about Donald Trump’s mental fitness for the presidency, Americans are asking serious questions about where the country is headed. Meanwhile, the fallout from the Supreme Court’s gutting of the Voting Rights Act is already playing out in Tennessee, where Republicans pushed forward a redistricting plan to dismantle the state’s only majority-Black district. And Tennessee is just the beginning. Similar fights are emerging across the country, raising alarms about representation, voting rights, and what the midterms could look like moving forward.

Another week, another round of absolute chaos. From Donald Trump turning a children’s event in the Oval Office into a rambling lecture about war and politics, to Kash Patel reportedly targeting The Atlantic in yet another escalation against the free press, the madness just kept coming. Then there was Secretary of State Marco Rubio heading to the Vatican after months of Trump attacking the pope. Damage control? Sure feels like it. And of course, the week wrapped with the Met Gala, an eye-popping display of wealth and excess that felt wildly disconnected from reality at a time when so many Americans are struggling with rising costs and economic uncertainty. Especially with Jeff Bezos attached to the event, the optics were… a lot. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Don sits down with journalist Nick Valencia to discuss his latest reporting from inside the private prisons being used to hold ICE detainees. The conversation dives into the growing role of for-profit detention centers, the conditions detainees are facing behind closed doors, and the massive financial incentives tied to expanded detention. From disease outbreaks to allegations of inadequate care, the reporting paints a disturbing picture of a system that prioritizes profit over humanity. Learn more about your ad choices.

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 afternoon, Don takes it to the streets to hear directly from the people, because right now, folks are fed up. Today’s jobs report technically came in stronger than expected, with the U.S. adding more jobs than economists predicted. But for a lot of Americans, that headline doesn’t match reality. People are struggling to find work, prices are still painfully high, and gas costs continue to climb as tensions with Iran and uncertainty around the Strait of Hormuz drag on. So what’s really happening in this economy? Why does everything feel so disconnected from what people are actually experiencing? Don hits the streets to hear what everyday people have to say about jobs, affordability, the Iran conflict, and the growing frustration boiling across the country. Learn more about your ad choices.

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?

Then we turn to breaking news out of Tennessee, where Republicans have redrawn congressional maps to dismantles the state’s only majority-Black district. We’re joined by Tennessee State Representative Justin Jones and civil rights activist Gary Chambers to break it all down.

Don hits the streets of London to hear directly from everyday people about how America is being viewed abroad right now. From Donald Trump to the war in Iran, Don asks Londoners what they think about the current state of the U.S., America’s role on the world stage, and whether confidence in American leadership is changing. The answers are honest, surprising, and at times brutally blunt. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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. Don is in transit this morning, so attorney, legal analyst, and friend of the show Monique Pressley will be guest hosting. Want to see more from Monique Pressley?

Don sits down with political analyst Mike Nellis to break down a series of legal and political battles that could have major implications for the future of American democracy. From Donald Trump’s latest effort to use the courts and DOJ to avoid paying E. Jean Carroll, to the FBI raid involving a Virginia lawmaker tied to redistricting fights, to reports that Kash Patel is pushing investigations into The Atlantic, the lines between governance, politics, and personal retaliation are raising serious concerns.

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.

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 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.

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.

Another chaotic week in the books. From lawmakers and MAGA allies defending an increasingly controversial war, to gas prices climbing well past $4 a gallon, the pressure on everyday Americans continues to grow. At the same time, the Trump administration is once again going after Jimmy Kimmel, adding more fuel to an already heated battle over media, messaging, and who controls the narrative.

Another week, another surge of chaos, and the pressure in Washington, D.C. is clearly building. From the shocking shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner to the eyebrow-raising indictment of James Comey, it’s been nonstop headlines and even more questions. Then came a major Supreme Court decision out of Louisiana, gutting the Voting Rights Act and setting off alarms about how far protections against discrimination are eroding. And through it all? The distractions, the spin, and yes, continued focus on priorities that feel wildly out of step with the moment. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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? A genuine de-escalation… or a convenient way to dodge oversight? This episode is sponsored by 120Life. Go to https://120Life.com—and use code DON for 20% off. Try it risk-free for two weeks.

Tonight, 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 and its ability to combat racial discrimination moving forward. 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.

Don is joined by Ahmed Baba to talk about the country-altering and devastating Supreme Court ruling on voting rights. This ruling will effectively kill the Voting Rights Act based on the false idea that there has been "vast social change" in the country. This is an important story that needs to be shared and discussed. 🍋 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Don sits down with political commentator Keith Edwards to unpack the growing controversy around the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. In a moment marked by escalating attacks on the press, they ask a difficult question: should journalists attend, or does showing up risk legitimizing the very behavior they’re meant to challenge? They also address recent backlash surrounding Edwards himself after his reaction to Jasmine Crockett’s Senate run sparked accusations of bias.

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.

This morning, we break down the latest wave of spin, contradictions, and outright falsehoods coming from MAGA, and even from some of its former loudest supporters. From familiar talking points pushed by Karoline Leavitt and Kash Patel to a sudden wave of “we were wrong” from figures who once helped elevate Trump, the narrative is shifting fast.

Tonight, we break down a major political shift out of Virginia, where voters have approved a new redistricting map that could significantly favor Democrats heading into the next election cycle. Donald Trump is already calling foul, claiming it was “rigged.” But the outcome raises bigger questions about the strength of MAGA’s political strategy moving forward. And remember the plan Steve Bannon floated about gaining dozens of additional seats? Looks like that plan has failed. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.
