Tonight, Don breaks down what’s really happening, why this moment feels so bleak and why it’s exactly when we need to stand up, speak out, and refuse to look away.

We’re starting the morning with a story that’ll make your blood boil. Don speaks with a man who was detained, let’s be real, kidnapped, by ICE and held for hours. The kicker? He’s an American citizen. So much for the whole “we’re only going after criminals here illegally” narrative. Yeah… that’s not true. Then, Don shares his interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. It's a powerful and personal conversation about her new book, life since the election, and what keeps her grounded amid all the chaos. You won’t want to miss this one, truth, heart, and a few jaw-dropping moments. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.
