The Don Lemon Show

Is the Trump administration making Americans physically sick? Don sits down with Dr. Frita to unpack the growing toll of chronic stress, political turmoil, and economic anxiety on our health. From rising blood pressure and mental health stigma to vaccine misinformation, food insecurity, and why "stress kills" is more than just a saying, this conversation explores how today's political climate may be affecting our bodies as much as our minds.

As America prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, an active-duty Air Force major made headlines by standing on the Capitol steps and calling for President Trump's impeachment, knowing it could cost him everything. He was arrested, but his act of civil disobedience raises a bigger question: What does it say about the state of the country when even members of the military feel compelled to take such extraordinary risks? Guest host Jolly Good Ginger joins us live from Washington, D.C., where he witnessed it all firsthand, for a conversation about patriotism, protest, and what America is becoming.

What happens when a pastor says the loud part out loud? Don sits down with Pastor Cody Deese for a powerful conversation about Christian nationalism, the separation of church and state, and why faith is being weaponized for political power. From Bible mandates in Texas classrooms to the myth of America as a "Christian nation," they challenge the hypocrisy, the history, and what Jesus actually taught about caring for the vulnerable.

It's been a rough day for Donald Trump. The Supreme Court delivered a major ruling in the birthright citizenship fight that leaves his executive order tied up in the courts, while his much-hyped America 250 celebration continues to draw attention for all the wrong reasons, from logistical mishaps to the Reflecting Pool fiasco. Tonight, Don is joined by Joy Reid to break down what today's Supreme Court decisions really mean, why the legal battle over birthright citizenship is far from over, and whether the cracks in Trump's carefully crafted image are becoming impossible to ignore.

Jennifer Welch is back, and absolutely nothing is off limits. This week, Don and Jen take on Oprah's controversial Whitney Houston comments, the absurd excuses from the UFC fighter who insulted Michelle Obama, MAGA's latest culture war meltdowns, and the corporate brands that suddenly forgot what they claimed to stand for.
