Lemon LIVE at 5 | 2 MORE DAYS...🫤

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. They want to reshape the news in their own image and silence anything that challenges their narrative. 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.

Tonight, we confront the shocking reality of the ICE detentions that continue to surface. Each new piece of footage is more inhumane than the last, revealing conditions that no person should ever be subjected to. This is cruelty on full display, and it’s getting worse. Don breaks down how far this system appears willing to go, and what we can do to stand up, speak out, and demand accountability. Then, we turn to the major shakeups in the media world. A wave of firings, acquisitions, and restructuring has many observers warning that MAGA is attempting to consolidate mainstream media into a partisan, propaganda-style machine. Is this a coordinated media takeover? What does it mean for the future of journalism, truth, and democracy? And should we be worried? This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Don addresses the recent disgusting rhetoric from Donald Trump, starting with him calling a reporter “Piggy,” and escalating into a full-on racist tirade targeting Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and Somali immigrants. It’s vile. It’s dangerous. It’s racist. And it is absolutely unacceptable from anyone, let alone the president. Don breaks down why this rhetoric is so harmful, how it fuels hate and violence, and what it reveals about Trump’s increasingly unhinged desperation. This isn’t just words. It’s part of a long pattern of dehumanizing attacks designed to divide, distract, and incite. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This morning we’re diving into the chaos sparked by Milo Yiannopoulos, who is now accusing several right-wing influencers and media personalities of being gay, comments that are already leading to threats of legal action. But beneath the spectacle lies a bigger question: What is it with MAGA’s constant, obsessive fixation on the LGBTQ community? From smear campaigns to conspiracy theories to outright harassment, the movement keeps circling back to the same tired bigotry. Then we’ll pivot to the latest updates in the Hegseth Venezuela boat strike scandal. Many are calling for the release of the video from the strike, footage that could clarify who gave the orders and what actually happened. Yet the full tapes have yet to be released. Why? What are they protecting? And who is making that call? This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics. Go to https://zbiotics.com/LEMON and use LEMON at checkout for 15% off first time orders.

It’s Friday, and tonight we’re unpacking a massive week of news because the Epstein story just took another seismic turn. Earlier today, a Florida judge ordered the release of the Epstein grand jury transcripts, a stunning development that could reveal who knew what and who may have helped shield Epstein for years. This comes just days after the House Oversight Committee released a mountain of never-before-seen images and videos from Epstein’s island, raising even more questions about why the full files still haven’t been made public. We’ll also break down the latest in Donald Trump’s escalating war on birthright citizenship, as he pushes new attacks on constitutional rights in yet another attempt to reshape immigration policy through fear and legal overreach. And tonight, we’re joined by friend of the show Francesca Fiorentini, who will help us make sense of the madness, the politics, and the fallout from a week that hasn’t slowed down for a second.
