LEMON DROP | Trump's Attempts to Hide the Epstein Scandal & the Shift to the Left for Latino Voters

This morning we’re diving into the latest wave of bad news crashing down on MAGA, and it’s getting harder for them to hide the cracks. The job numbers came in far worse than expected, blowing a hole in Trump’s economic talking points. And meanwhile, the Hegseth Venezuela boat strike scandal is refusing to fade, no matter how many confusing excuses the White House throws at it. The instability, the infighting, the unraveling, it’s all on full display for the entire country to see. This morning we are joined by Clay Cane, Reecie Colbert, and  @simplepoliticswithkimwehle8756  This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Don sits down with Michael Cohen to break down all the news of the day, and there is a lot to unpack. From the absurd, shifting explanations surrounding the Venezuelan boat strikes to today’s absolutely batshit crazy cabinet meeting, the chaos inside the Trump administration is on full display. Don and Michael dig into the dysfunction, the contradictions, the political fallout, and the sheer madness of a government that can’t settle on a story, or stay awake, during its own meetings.

Tonight we’re breaking down the absolutely batshit crazy cabinet meeting that unfolded today, a meeting so chaotic, disjointed, and surreal it felt like satire… except the American people actually have to live with the consequences. They still can’t settle on a unified story about the Venezuelan boat strikes. The explanations keep shifting by the hour, and the White House looks more panicked than ever. But that was just the opening act. We also got Kristi Noem telling Trump he somehow “keeps the hurricanes away,” Trump ranting that affordability is a Democrat scam, and the president of the United States dozing off in the middle of his own meeting. It was a wild, absurd rollercoaster of delusion and dysfunction. What. A. Shitshow. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

This morning we’re diving back into the rapidly escalating Venezuela boat strike scandal and the White House’s increasingly desperate attempts to shield Pete Hegseth from the fallout. Despite the spin, despite the conflicting stories, the core question remains the same: Did Hegseth’s actions constitute war crimes or even murder? Legal experts say yes. The administration of course says “nothing to see here.” We’ll break down the latest reporting, the shifting defenses, and whether anyone in this MAGA-led White House will ever face accountability or if the machine is just veering even further into outright lawlessness.

Tonight we’re diving into all the major stories of the day, and the chaos is piling up fast. First, did Pete Hegseth order the second Venezuelan boat strike? The White House can’t seem to get its story straight, and the conflicting explanations are only raising more questions. If these reports are true, we’re looking at actions that many experts say could constitute war crimes, and the pressure for accountability is growing. Then we turn to Alina Habba. A federal appeals court has ruled that she had been serving unlawfully as the U.S. attorney in New Jersey, a stunning blow to the Trump administration. Don is traveling tonight, so we’re joined by guest host Charles Coleman, MSNBC legal analyst, former prosecutor, and civil rights attorney, to help us break it all down.

Don breaks down the explosive reporting on the Venezuelan boat strikes and the allegation that Pete Hegseth may have ordered that everyone on those vessels be killed. If true, national security experts are already calling it what it is: a war crime. Donald Trump now claims he did not know about the order, but that excuse raises even more questions. How can a commander in chief distance himself from a military-style operation carried out under his watch? And if he truly didn’t know… what does that say about who is actually in charge? Don digs into the timeline, the denials, the shifting narratives, and the growing calls for accountability. Is it time for Trump to fire Hegseth? And will he, or will politics once again outweigh basic responsibility? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This morning we’re diving into the explosive reporting surrounding the Venezuelan boat strikes and the disturbing allegation that Pete Hegseth may have ordered that everyone on those boats be killed. If true, many experts are already calling this a potential war crime with massive legal and political consequences. So what actually happened? Who gave which orders? And how will the Trump administration respond now that these details are coming to light? Will Trump stand by Hegseth no matter what, or is this finally the kind of scandal that brings too much heat, even for him? We are joined by friend of the show, Rick Wilson, to break it all down.

Tonight, Don is joined by friend of the show George Hahn for some much needed post-Thanksgiving laughs. MAGA has been in full meltdown mode lately, stumbling from crisis to crisis, and the cracks in Donald Trump’s once unshakable grip are getting harder to ignore. Has Trump’s spell finally broken? Is the end of MAGA actually near? Or is this just the beginning of a much louder, much messier unraveling? Don and George break it all down with humor, sharp insight, and just the right amount of holiday snark. This episode is brought to you by the Freedom From Religion Foundation.
