And why do Trump’s ties to Epstein keep resurfacing as more evidence comes to light? Tonight, we'll unpack the reporting, the political fallout, and what these revelations could mean for transparency, accountability, and the fight to finally make the entire Epstein record public.

This morning, Don is taking a hard look at the state of the economy, and let’s be honest, it’s bad. Prices keep climbing, families are feeling the squeeze, and according to a new AP-NORC poll, Donald Trump’s approval ratings are continuing to fall. Despite the mounting evidence, the Trump administration is still insisting everything is fine. Reality says otherwise. Then we pivot to breaking news out of Congress: Marjorie Taylor Greene is reportedly trying to oust Speaker Mike Johnson on her way out the door. Yes, really. Even as she prepares to leave Congress, she’s lighting one last match, and the MAGA infighting just keeps devouring itself. Economic denial. Political chaos. A movement eating its own. We’re breaking it all down. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics. Go to https://zbiotics.com/LEMON and use LEMON at checkout for 15% off first time orders. This episode is sponsored by Aura Frames.

Tonight we’re breaking down the absolute disaster that was Homeland Security Secretary, and self-proclaimed “puppy killer,” Kristi Noem’s appearance before the House Homeland Security Committee. It did not go well for her. Democratic lawmakers tore apart her talking points, pressed her on the inhumane detention conditions happening under her watch, and exposed just how flimsy her defenses really are. The pressure got so intense that Noem actually left the hearing early, a stunning move for someone supposed to be leading a federal agency. And that wasn’t all. Protesters showed up to confront her policies directly, making sure the cruelty happening around the country stayed front and center. Join us tonight as we unpack the meltdown, the hypocrisy, the evasions, and the growing backlash against Noem’s leadership. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

This morning we’re taking a closer look at something that’s becoming harder and harder to ignore: Donald Trump’s apparent mental decline. From forgetting statements he made the day before, to wandering aimlessly on stage, to random bursts of anger that have no connection to reality, it’s clear something is not okay here. Republicans want to pretend this is normal. The media tiptoes around it. But voters are watching a man unravel in real time while insisting he’s the picture of strength and stability. We’ll break down the latest clips, the contradictions, the outbursts, and what this all means for the country. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Tonight, Don is joined by Former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner to break down the absolute disaster that was Donald Trump’s rally yesterday. It was a masterclass in why he is unfit to be president. Period. Trump’s speech was overflowing with racist claims, economic lies, and delusional nonsense that had no grounding in reality. Instead of offering solutions, he offered fear. Instead of leadership, he delivered chaos. And instead of addressing the pain Americans are feeling, he chose to inflame divisions and invent achievements that simply do not exist. Don and Nina dive into the messaging, the meltdown, the consequences, and the growing danger of a candidate who has completely detached from truth. This was absurd. This was alarming. And it’s time to talk about it. Join us live. This episode is brought to you by Graza. Take your food to the next level with Graza Olive Oil.

This morning we’re breaking down Donald Trump’s latest rally, and wow, unhinged doesn’t even begin to cover it. What was supposed to be a reset for Republicans on affordability somehow spiraled into a deranged, racist rant about immigrants, complete with fearmongering, nonsense, and the usual dose of projection. Meanwhile, Trump completely ignored the very real economic pain Americans are feeling. Instead, he doubled down on the fantasy that his economy is "the best ever.” This is not remotely true, but when has that stopped him? We’ll unpack the lies, the rhetoric, the delusion, and what this means for a GOP that keeps insisting this is the guy who can turn things around. This episode is brought to you by Graza.

Tonight we’re diving into the ongoing feud between Marjorie Taylor Greene and Donald Trump, a very public breakup that lays bare just how deeply MAGA is fracturing from within. Once one of Trump’s loudest defenders, MTG is now openly distancing herself from the former president...and he is not taking it well. This is more than political drama, it’s a full-blown MAGA implosion, with two of the movement’s most iconic figures turning on each other. What caused the split? Who’s telling the truth? And what does this mean for the future of the MAGA coalition? To help us unpack the chaos, we’re joined by lawyer, political commentator, and podcaster Katie Phang, along with journalist Garrison Hayes. They’ll help us make sense of the legal angles, the political fallout, and the deeper cracks now showing in the movement Trump built. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

This morning we’re breaking down the growing and deeply alarming effort by MAGA forces to take control of mainstream media. From corporate shakeups to strategic acquisitions to coordinated pressure campaigns, the signs are becoming harder to ignore.

We’ll look at how this takeover is happening, why it matters, and what it means for truth, democracy, and the future of journalism. Because this isn’t just about media politics, it’s about who gets to shape reality for millions of Americans. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.
