The Don Lemon Show

A viral video showing French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte aboard a plane has set social media ablaze. The clip appears to show Brigitte shoving Macron in the face. Some are calling it a moment of domestic violence, while the President insists it was all just playful banter. So, what really happened? Is this being blown out of proportion? Or is it a moment that warrants a deeper conversation about boundaries, gender dynamics, and how quickly the media and the public are to judge based on a single clip?

While everyday Americans are feeling the squeeze, Trump and his family are raking it in...again. From crypto cash grabs to overseas real estate deals, multiple reports now confirm what we already suspected: Donald Trump has been using the presidency as his personal ATM, and the whole family’s cashing checks. Meanwhile, he's slashing programs that actually help people, like healthcare, food assistance, and housing support, because apparently the only thing worth funding is his own bottom line. Let's follow the money, the hypocrisy, and the receipts. Because public service was never the goal...it was always the grift. Let’s get into it. 🍋 This episode is brought to you by Shopify.

🔥 Introducing The Friendly Fire Pod 🔥 With Don Lemon & Michael Fanone Unfiltered. Uncensored. Unapologetically real. In this brand-new podcast from The Don Lemon Show channel, Don Lemon and former D.C. police officer Michael Fanone team up for raw, honest conversations about power, identity, and what it means to challenge the systems they once trusted. They dive into how they met in the aftermath of January 6th, after Fanone was violently attacked by the very people claiming to "back the blue." From there, they’ve built a bond rooted in uncomfortable truths, personal growth, and the hard conversations America refuses to have. They break down the insular culture of policing, the political mind games tearing this country apart, and how they each learned to question everything—even themselves. This is not for kids! We’re talking real life, real trauma, and real transformation. If you’re looking for honesty with an edge, this is the pod for you. This episode is brought to you by ZBiotics.

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is here, and it’s big, but it’s anything but beautiful. Let's break down the 1,116-page monstrosity House Republicans are proudly parading as a legislative win. With a jaw-dropping $5 trillion price tag, this bill is less about helping Americans and more about widening the wealth gap, delivering the largest upward transfer of wealth in modern U.S. history. But that’s just the part you’ve heard about. We’re digging into the 10 sneakiest, most scandalous provisions buried in the fine print...because while the headlines are bad, the details are downright dystopian. So pour yourself something strong and settle in, this one’s going to make your blood boil. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Welcome to The Cohen Lemon Report, where the spin stops and the truth gets loud. Don sits down with Michael Cohen to unpack the latest mess from the Trump administration, including those economy-wrecking tariffs (yes, they’re still happening), and the blatant abuse of the justice system to punish critics and protect cronies. They break down how this administration is twisting power into a personal weapon and why calling out the lies isn’t just important, it’s necessary. Because if we don’t say it plainly, they’ll keep getting away with it. This episode is brought to you by ZBiotics.

Legal analyst, political commentator, and host of Make It Make Sense Daily Digital Show, Monique Pressley is back with a brand-new episode of The Week With Monique—and let’s just say, it’s been another ride on the MAGA rollercoaster. This week, Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” (a blueprint to slash Medicaid and gut social services) passed in the House, while the DOJ quietly backed away from police misconduct cases...because why hold anyone accountable when you can just pretend it’s not happening? But there is a glimmer of hope: the federal courts are pushing back on Trump’s more blatantly unlawful orders. The question is: how long can the judiciary hold the line? And what can the rest of us do to help? Monique breaks it all down with clarity, fire, and a whole lot of side-eye. Don’t miss it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Good morning Lemon Nation! Today, we’re following the money...because Trump is making a fortune while torching the programs everyday Americans rely on. He’s hosting high-end crypto dinners (because nothing says “stable economy” like blockchain bros and foie gras) while pushing a bill that would gut Medicare and slash support for the most vulnerable. And just to keep the chaos international, he’s now calling for more tariffs on the EU and on iPhones. Yes, your iPhone. So let’s just say it plainly: this is not policy, it’s a grift. A full-blown, gold-plated, tax-advantaged scheme to make the rich richer and distract everyone else with outrage du jour. When will it stop? When people stop falling for it.
