HOT TOPICS | Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Annual Breakfast: What Would Dr. King Do In Trump's America?
Happy MLK Day, everyone. This morning we’re bringing you something special. Don is speaking at the 2026 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Annual Breakfast, presented by PUSH for Excellence and the Rainbow PUSH Coalition.
In a moment defined by division, fear, and moral testing, we ask a vital question: What would Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. do in today’s climate? How would he confront Trump’s America? What would courage, justice, and nonviolence look like right now?
Join Don live for this powerful event as we reflect on Dr. King’s legacy, not as history, but as a living challenge, and consider how his vision calls us to act today.

Lemon LIVE at 5 | ICE ALERT: It's Getting Much Worse!
Tonight we’re diving into the ongoing wave of federal violence and terror tied to ICE operations in Minnesota and across the country, and the latest developments are both shocking and deeply troubling. In the past two weeks, multiple shootings involving federal agents have rattled Minneapolis.
Tensions remain extremely high as local communities continue to push back, and now we’re hearing from people on the ground who are living through this chaos firsthand, voices that show just how visceral and frightening these operations have become.
When will this violence stop? How far are federal agents willing to go? And will anyone ever be held accountable for these actions?
